Chapter 153: Role Model

"Nonsense, it's clear that you relied on your identity as a scholar to make everyone beat him to death, everyone can prove this, and you will also be the mastermind in the Yamen in the future."

The old farmer said with a dark heart, and the others also nodded yes in agreement. It's impossible to stay out of the situation, it's a big deal to push you out as a substitute for the dead.

"You, you...... Take it for me to see. The four cultivators were angry but helpless, so they had to reach out and ask someone to bring him the official document.

Just read through it, he pointed to the people present and laughed, and it took a long time to calm down, and he said: "You killed the official for the locust demon, and you still treat the locust demon as a locust god, you are really ridiculous!" ”

"What do you say? Blasphemy the gods, the old decay will sacrifice you to the gods. The old peasant cried out in horror, Sixiu's behavior seemed deviant to him, if it weren't for the fact that he was a scholar, he would have burned him to the gods now.

"Still a god? The official document said that this is a locust demon, who escaped from the sky, was seriously injured by Wu Quxing, and now incarnates tens of millions, and wants to eat all things to cultivate his body. Now that Wuqu Xing has descended to the earth, do you know who Wuqu Xing is? That is the second prince of today, the emperor's second son, he has the will of heaven to all the people to unite to destroy the locusts. If this is to let people know that you worship monsters, and kill the officials, it will be strange if you don't kill your head. ”

"What you said is true?"

Everyone's faces changed drastically, if this is true, then what they and others did is too unworthy.

"In white and black, there is also the mark of the imperial court on it, this official is dead, the imperial court will naturally send someone again, and when the second official arrives at the county office, the county government will naturally make an announcement." Sixiu said happily that the official document would go to various places to kill locusts and protect crops, so that he would not have to live half hungry this year.

"In that case, kill the horses quickly, and bury them in the woods. Tell all the men, women, and children of the village to come out and kill the locusts! The monster actually wanted to eat up our crops, and we fought with him. ”

People are blindly obedient, and if it is beneficial to themselves, then they no longer care about truth and falsehood, and the whole village, men, women, and children, holding nets and torches, drive the locusts out of the fields, and then find a way to kill them.

It's just that there are too many locusts, and often they drive away one group, and the other group pounces down from the sky to enjoy the tender green crops.

Three days later, in order to prevent the spread of insect pests, the local county magistrate had no choice but to set fire to the fields, and all the fields that were burned were civilians, and the squire's fields were always being chased by locusts, and under the persecution of the squires of the county, he jumped into the fire and was regarded as a sacrifice of disrespect to God.

The news spread to Chang'an became the county order fearless, for the people to order the fire, to fit the way, the whole county is grief-stricken, hope that the court can bury the county order, set up the archway to reward.

Fang Xuanling took the paperwork and kicked open the door of Cai Cong's house directly, he checked it again and again, Cai Cong of this county said in the official document earlier that he had sent someone.

Unexpectedly, Cai Cong's face was even more ugly than Fang Xuanling's when he saw the paperwork, his people had been gone for eight days, and he had not come back to recover until now, he had already sent someone to check two days ago, and now he is waiting for the news!

"This document makes you proud, doesn't it? What a selfless official! Cai Cong asked casually.

"Let go of your mother's bullshit, these brutes dare to persecute even the court officials for their own selfish interests, and the old man will never let them go." Fang Xuanling was furious, he was not stupid, he should know with a turn of his brain, how could an official who dared to order arson be caught in the fire? Even if he had to wait for punishment, he should have waited for the court's instructions, not jumped into the fire.

In this case, why did today's Di Bao show off him, praising him as a righteous deed, and setting up a memorial arch for him. After all, you have compromised, and the dead have become articles in your hands. Cai Cong slapped the table and yelled, and Chu Yao, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, was so frightened that he ran away with the two little maids without a trace.

Fang Xuanling was silent, the court needs an example, and this is an example, no matter what, a good official who asks for the people's life is always better than a cowardly official who is persecuted to death. He can be an example for generations, and lower-level officials can also be inspired.

"You guys are really disgusting, Cai Mansion doesn't entertain guests today, Lord Fang, please!" Cai Cong said in disgust that Fang Xuanling could kick the door to find him stable, but he couldn't give justice to the families of the victims, and he also found many excuses, which was so disgusting that he vomited.

Wannian County is the hardest hit area, it was too late when the imperial court order arrived, and the locusts could not be killed no matter how they were killed, and in just ten days, there was no trace of green in the county, as if the world had become a black and white color.

The people of the county are like walking corpses, and the crops are their lifeblood.

Wannian County ordered to open the just-closed Yicang, which had only been collected for less than a month, and it was only counted and stored half a month ago, but now it is going to be distributed.

It's a pity that how can those grains be eaten by the people of the county? He could only ask all parties for food, Yanyun Tower was brightly lit, and when he looked at it from a distance, it was a bright pearl.

In order to raise more food, even some small landlords with thin assets in the countryside of the county also invited.

Ten thousand years of making his mouth full of hot bubbles, in order to raise more food, but he couldn't drink cup after cup, but whenever he shook his head and sighed that although the wine banquet was good but the food was tasteless, someone always interrupted him with a smile.

Only a few of the county's philanthropic families found the Wannian Order when the banquet was dispersed and donated some grain, and the small landlords in the countryside gritted their teeth and donated some when they heard that their parents were raising food for the people.

The rest of the wealthy businessmen, the big landlords only promised not to take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, as for donating grain? I'm sorry, the landlord's family has no surplus food.

Leyun view is the largest Taoist temple in 10,000 years, the view of the master of a flat Taoist people for mercy, before leaving patted his chest to the 10,000-year-old order to promise that this year will not accept tenants' rent, three clear on the top, if this is contrary to the words of the sky thunder.

Ten thousand years made his heart like ashes, but he hoped that these people would sell the country and collect tenant rents, so that he could raise the butcher knife in his hand without any scruples.

"Why doesn't anyone come to the Lion Camel Temple? Could this group of monks be the official and die? Wan Nian Ling gritted his teeth and asked, he really wanted to raise a knife to kill people now, but he couldn't, the relationships behind these big businessmen and squires were inextricably linked, and he couldn't figure out that there was this one prince standing behind him.

"There is a master from Chang'an, and the Lion Camel Temple has been sending porridge for disaster relief in the past few days. When the little one arrived at the Lion Camel Temple, Master Ran said that if it was to raise food, they would not come, and the food stored in the Lion Camel Temple and the temples in the county would all be used for disaster relief, if it was not enough, they would also buy it at a fair price from the Cai family caravan and continue to provide disaster relief, please rest assured. ”

Wannian Ling finally relieved his brows, and at the moment of the catastrophe, someone finally gave up his small family for everyone. It's just that he annoys the selfish people even more.

The crying in the whole pass shook the sky, and the terrible sound of cursing the sky reached the nine heavens. There are few people who have surplus food, and they will run out of food every few days, and now the world is in chaos, who can still find a job to earn two dollars to support their families?

Even if the order to exterminate the locusts continues, how can the locusts in the sky be killed by the most primitive manual hunting?

Du Ruhui immediately ordered that all the crops in the farmland be burned in Guanzhong, and there was another news that the locusts were burning at night, so that a large number of fires were set up in the mountains and fields, waiting for the locusts to die at night.

The day and night in Guanzhong are bright, as if the night is gone.
