Getting this result, He Xingzhi should be happy. Because in a short period of time, he can be regarded as having survived the most dangerous catastrophe. As long as the rest is remedied, there is still room for redemption.

However, in the dark, He Xingzhi has always had an ominous premonition.

He Xingzhi never believed in feelings too much, but today, this feeling of calamity is so strong that He Xingzhi can't wait to rush out and vent frantically.

"Taishou ......" outside the door, the master's voice sounded.

"What?"

"Lord Lu of Xuantian Mansion has an urgent matter to discuss with your lord. ”

"Quick, please come in. He Xingzhi said eagerly.

The current Lu Sheng is He Xingzhi's life-saving straw, and whether he can get out of it all depends on Lu Sheng to find out who is behind the scenes. Originally, He Xingzhi also thought about investigating the case himself. But after reading Lu Sheng's resume, he decisively gave up this plan.

Pursuing the case, he is not a professional, Lu Sheng's ability is more than ten times his own, it is better to put the treasure on Lu Sheng. And if he is in a catastrophe, Lu Sheng will inevitably be implicated, and the two of them are now grasshoppers hanging on a rope.

Grasshopper...... Why is this word especially hated today......

"Lord Taishou!" After Lu Sheng entered the study, he woke up He Xingzhi, who was in a trance, "He Taishou, you ...... No problem, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay...... I just didn't sleep well last night and was a little tired. Lord Lu, is there any progress on the case?"

"My lord, are you really okay? You have to hold on!" Looking at Lu Sheng's solemn expression, He Xingzhi's heart suddenly slammed.

"Lord Lu, if you have something to say, the old decay can still stand up. ”

"I've just been confirmed, Chuzhou may be in big trouble......"

"Big trouble? What big trouble? Aren't we in big trouble right now?"

"This trouble is much bigger than what we are encountering now......" Lu Sheng looked at He Taishou's sweaty face with a solemn face, "Within seven days, there will definitely be a locust plague in Chuzhou." ”

"Yellow plague, what yellow plague...... Locust plague?" He Xingzhi stood up abruptly and looked at Lu Sheng with a pleading face, "Lord Lu, you...... Don't scare me...... You...... Don't talk nonsense......"

"It won't be wrong, I ordered someone to secretly investigate all the grain fields in Chuzhou, and the grain fields are all densely packed with insect eggs, which will definitely break out of the cocoon within seven days, and this year's autumn harvest, ninety percent may be no harvest ......"

"Poof—"

He Xingzhi was frightened, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sky.

"He Taishou-" Lu Sheng exclaimed in surprise, his figure flashed, and he hurriedly supported He Xingzhi, who had fallen, and his internal force surged, and a warm current poured into He Xingzhi's body.

"Taishou-sama—"

With a bang, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and the master of the official rushed in.

At this moment, He Xingzhi woke up slowly, and regained his senses in an instant, "What are you doing when you come in? Go out, no one is allowed to approach without my order-"

Although they all saw the blush on He Xingzhi's beard, they didn't dare to hesitate to exit the study again and close the door.

"He Taishou, you must be calm. At this point, there is no benefit in being flustered, and we can only respond appropriately if we remain absolutely calm. ”

He Xingzhi's chest rose and fell violently, but after hearing Lu Sheng's words, his eyes slowly focused again, and the undulating chest slowly calmed down.

"Right...... Coping ...... Dealing with ......" He Xingzhi's eyes gradually became focused, and then seemed to be rejuvenated, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

He Xingzhi trembled and came to the desk and looked at Lu Sheng. Both saw a meaning in each other's eyes - what to do?

"Lord Taishou, the locust plague has not yet broken out. ”

"Yes, not yet. This is the only space we can turn around! Or do you Xuantianwei have the ability to detect the signs of the locust plague? ”

"Unfortunately, it was discovered too late. Lu Sheng said in a deep voice, "I now have reason to suspect that this locust plague may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." ”

"How so?"

"There has been no locust plague in Chuzhou for decades, and the last locust plague started in the northern grasslands. The northern grasslands were swallowed up by locusts, and thousands of miles of grasslands turned into thousands of miles of red land.

After that, the locusts went south, broke into the Central Plains, and then went up from the north to Chuzhou. Throughout the ages, is there a precedent for locusts to appear directly in Chuzhou?"

"No!" He Xingzhi shook his head decisively, "The people should never have thought that locusts would appear under the land of Chuzhou, right?"

"Locusts can't appear for no reason, and every time they appear, it's a great drought in the north. The year before last, there was a shortage of water in the northern grasslands and then a locust plague broke out, but my Dayu had already prepared and deployed millions of troops along the Great Wall to raise a military formation, which resisted the invasion of the locust plague.

It stands to reason that there is no locust plague in Chuzhou, but now it has appeared inexplicably. There were no locusts laying eggs in Chuzhou before, so where did these locust larvae come from? But these are not the things to think about right now.

If a locust plague breaks out in Chuzhou, then the land of Shenzhou will turn into a human purgatory. The locust plague can no longer be stopped, and we can only try to stop the loss.

In order to prevent other states from being affected by the locust plague, I propose to ban Chu Prefecture!"

"Ban Chuzhou?Eight Gate Ban?" He Xingzhi's face turned white.

"The plague of locusts is like a plague, and no grass grows everywhere it goes. The best way to control the plague is to isolate, and exchange Chu Prefecture for the safety of the surrounding eight states, this is the choice we must make. ”

He Xingzhi watched Lu Sheng say such heartless words, and after a long time, a frustrated expression of defeat appeared on his face.

"I have been a man and an official all my life, and I have never felt ashamed of myself. But now, Lord Lu's view of the big picture makes me ashamed. There are many people who can think of this, but there are very people who can make this decision. The ban on Chuzhou is to make Chuzhou fully withstand this locust plague. I hope Chuzhou can survive the rescue of the imperial court.

There are 50 million people in Chuzhou, accounting for nearly 20% of the 19 states, and Chuzhou is safe, so the world is decided, but I didn't expect that one day, Chuzhou will be sacrificed in exchange for the stability of the world. ”

"Chuzhou is safe, the world is decided, Chuzhou is absolutely decided, and it is also determined for the world. Banning Chuzhou is a prerequisite for everything, and the rest is how to save Chuzhou. ”

"Is there any salvation in Chuzhou?"

"Yes!" Lu Sheng drank with a cut of gold, "There must be salvation!" In recent years, Chuzhou's economy has been booming, and they have surplus money in their hands, so they can buy grain from the surrounding eight states, and at the same time ask the imperial court for orders to allocate disaster relief grain.

Let's discuss the measures to deal with the locust plague again, but time is urgent, and now, we must report to the emperor, even if we want to kill or chop, then we have to wait until we get through this hurdle. ”

"Report ......" Hearing these two words, He Xingzhi suddenly shuddered. Yesterday, he was just criticized by Ji Zheng, and he finally got through this catastrophe, and now he wants to tell the emperor the news, and it is estimated that Ji Zheng will immediately draw up a holy decree, and order Chuzhou to make a festival and make a self-judgment.

"This report, I'll come!" Lu Sheng knew what kind of pressure He Xingzhi was under, otherwise he wouldn't have spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard Lu Sheng say the truth.

Report to the leader, that is also skillful, and rushed directly to the boss and said, no, Dayu is going to have an accident, and Chuzhou is going to collapse-

How can the boss react? What, I handed over Chuzhou to you, but you collapsed Chuzhou? Pull it out and cut it off!

Don't look at Ji Zheng's generosity and kindness since he took the position, that's because no one has touched his bottom line. The person who can sit on the emperor and have the last laugh in the competition for many princes, which one is the fuel-efficient lamp?

Taking out the dragon tattoo order, Lu Sheng used his spiritual power to draw a mysterious rune on the lines of the token. The hazy light rose, and the stars rippled away.

After a while, Ji Zheng's voice sounded from the token, "Lu Qing, what's the matter?"

This tone is not very good!

"Your Majesty, the minister has discovered a major case and needs to report it to the emperor immediately. ”

"If you want to talk about the theft and sale of official food, I already know about it, so I can return it if I have nothing else to do. Ji Zheng's anger seemed to be a little uncontrollable. If it weren't for Lu Sheng, he would have slapped the table a long time ago.

"The case that the minister wants to report is much more serious than this one, the minister has found clues, someone wants to mess with my Shenzhou and destroy my Dayu country!"

This is a slap in the face, a sentence, which suddenly made Ji Zheng a little confused. To say that some people want to mess with Shenzhou and destroy the Dayu country? To put it mildly, this kind of person has existed in all dynasties. However, these are all people who make waves, and the court will suppress them in minutes.

"Lu Qing, tell me in detail, who is it?"

"I haven't found anyone yet, but disaster is imminent. The day before yesterday, someone secretly revealed to the minister that all the underground grain fields in Chuzhou were full of locust larvae. The minister didn't believe it at first, since ancient times, locusts have all originated in the northern grasslands, and the locusts went south to bring major disasters to my Shenzhou. There has never been a locust that began in Shenzhou, let alone Chuzhou.

The minister took someone to investigate overnight, but found that what the whistleblower said turned out to be true. The locust larvae were all born in the ground two years ago, and then they would grow up the next year or the next.

However, there has been no trace of locusts in Chuzhou for nearly 30 years, so where did the locust eggs come from? There is only one explanation, that the locust eggs were deliberately sprinkled on Chuzhou.

However, now that the locust plague is about to break out, time is running out, and the minister and He Taishou discussed, the only way to ban Chuzhou is to ban Chuzhou first, and to ensure the safety of the eight surrounding states of Chuzhou as the top priority.

The rest is to save Chuzhou, and the minister has sworn an oath with He Taishou to live and die with Chuzhou!"

Dead silence!

Lu Sheng changed the starting point, but he picked up the guilt of negligence of himself and He Taishou, and threw out a behind-the-scenes mastermind to bear all the charges.

Although there was not a single word to excuse himself, listening to Ji Zheng's ears, his attention was completely focused on someone deliberately sprinkling locust eggs in the grain fields of Chuzhou? What is this for? To make nearly half of Dayu's land without grass.

It's too bad, it's too vicious, it's too ......

"Bastard—"

The mountains shook with a loud shout.

A burst of smashing sound came from the other side, and there was no need to think about it, the emperor's imperial study was estimated to be in a mess.

How dare he...... How dare you do that...... Lu Sheng, you listen to me, catch them, even if you dig through the ground, you have to dig them out, and I will crush them to ashes-"
