Chapter 344: Passing the Word

Jiang Liang and Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what the eldest young master was doing when he came to them at this time.

Regarding the matter of the old Taoist priest, except for a few of them who knew about it, Zhao Jingxuan had not publicized it, so he felt that Xiao Yuchen definitely did not come here for the sake of the Zhenyu Alliance.

But Xiao Yuchen's identity is special, he specially visited the door and pointed out that he wanted to see them, which is absolutely unusual.

Jiang Liang became nervous and couldn't help but speak.

"Ah Xuan, what should I do? Do we see or don't see? ”

"People have come to the door in person, and there is absolutely no reason to drive people back.

"Forget it, let's see you."

Zhao Jingxuan sighed, but nodded at Yuehua.

Yuehua didn't dare to delay when she got the master's instructions, so she turned around and went to invite someone.

But after a while, I saw a young man in a fancy costume walking into the inner courtyard with a grin, and when he saw the couple of them, he showed a meaningful smile.

"It's not like I said, it's not easy to see you!"

"Xiao Gongzi said with a smile, Jiang Liang is just a civilian, it is naturally easy for you to see us, why bother to say such things to tease us?"

Jiang Liang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and sneered at each other.

She didn't know why every time she saw Xiao Yuchen, she would unconsciously erect spikes all over her body, probably because the two didn't have any good memories since they met.

Xiao Yuchen listened to her words, laughed, touched his nose, and then looked at Zhao Jingxuan.

"Lord Zhao, this time I didn't come to find trouble, but for an important event."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, you must know that Prince Rui and they had been away for a while after confirming that Jiang Liang would participate in the Imperial Chef Competition, but at this time, Xiao Yuchen suddenly went and returned, which would inevitably make him have bad associations.

However, Zhao Jingxuan did not rush to express his position, but looked at Xiao Yuchen with cold eyes, just waiting for him to explain his intentions.

Xiao Yuchen looked at him as motionless as a mountain, and a wave of dissatisfaction suddenly surged in his heart, but his face was calm, as if Zhao Jingxuan's attitude did not provoke him at all.

He cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "It's about the locust plague in Meizhou. ”

"A plague of locusts?"

Without waiting for Zhao Jingxuan to speak, Jiang Liang couldn't help but exclaim.

She knew very well what this meant, although locust plagues were not an uncommon scourge since ancient times, and it could even be said that because there were no pesticides and other insecticidal tools in ancient times, such natural disasters were very common.

It's just that she never thought that she would encounter such a thing.

Perhaps because of her personal life experience, she has always felt that such a disaster is very far away from her. However, Jiang Liang thought about it for a while, and quickly thought of her own grange, she is now a person with a field, and she must be more concerned about the impact of this disaster.

"Is the locust plague serious? Will it be coming towards Rongquan City? ”

Jiang Liang stared at Xiao Yuchen nervously, hoping that he could answer his question.

She knows very well that the impact of the locust plague is huge and painful, not to mention, it is now the spring ploughing season, and the farmers have finally planted crops, and once they encounter the locust plague, the crops of this season may be completely destroyed.

Poor harvests will cause prices to skyrocket, and food shortages will also make people hungry and cause famine.

Hunger is everywhere, and there are not a few people who sell their sons and daughters who can't get by, and even more appalling tragedies will happen.

Jiang Liang was not a fool, she quickly figured out these connections, and her face became more and more difficult to look at.

Zhao Jingxuan waved his hand at her, signaling her to be restless, while he stared at Xiao Yuchen with a cold momentum in his eyes.

"How's it going over there?"

He knew that since Xiao Yuchen took the initiative to find him, he was afraid that this time the matter would involve him together.

To put it bluntly, although he is a superintendent of the imperial history, he is only a minor official, where can he compete with the imperial family.

Since the other party took the initiative to find him, it was with a purpose.

Zhao Jingxuan was very curious about what purpose Xiao Yuchen found himself.

Xiao Yuchen looked at him at this time and still looked impassive, and couldn't help admiring his calmness in his heart, and also understood why Prince Rui wanted to appoint Zhao Jingxuan.

Thinking about it like this, his eyes looking at Zhao Jingxuan also changed slightly.

If he had always been very dissatisfied with Zhao Jingxuan before, he had a little more respect at this time.

"The situation is very bad, if we can't control the disaster in time and minimize the impact, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Xiao Yuchen didn't say any more, but the more this happened, the more nervous it became.

Jiang Liang listened to his words, her face also changed slightly, she couldn't help but glance at her husband, and then looked at Xiao Yuchen.

"Xiao Gongzi, Ming people don't say secret words, your visit this time, shouldn't it be just to let Ah Xuan go to control the locust plague? No kidding! ”

It's a chore, and the slightest mistake can get you into trouble.

Jiang Liang knew that this kind of thing was completely thankless, even if the situation was temporarily stabilized and would not cause turmoil, but people had to eat every day, so how could they find a way to settle the victims when the time came?

No one praises this kind of thing if it is done well, but it will feel that they have not done enough, and if they mess up, they will lose their heads every minute.

Jiang Liang also knew that it was wrong to think so, but he couldn't help but feel rejection.

"I think this matter has to be considered in the long run!"

"There's no way to think about the long term. The cousin has reported this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty's decree is already on its way. ”

Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard Jiang Liang's words, and said embarrassedly.

He knew that this kind of thing was a problem for anyone, and this matter would eventually fall on Zhao Jingxuan, and he didn't contribute to it, but he would never admit it.

"Huh."

As soon as Jiang Liang heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help but sneer.

But since this matter has been reported to the emperor, it is clearly a certainty, how can a small person like them resist.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and almost didn't pounce directly and tear Xiao Yuchen apart, but the only bit of reason she had left still allowed her to control her emotions.

"Okay, you're here to spread the word this time? Let's be mentally prepared in advance? ”

Jiang Li's tone was not good, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes staring at Xiao Yuchen.

"No, I came this time to ask Lord Zhao to go to Meizhou in advance. The cousin will be in charge of this matter, and Lord Zhao will be responsible for assisting the cousin in solving the matter. ”

Xiao Yuchen said as he peeked at Zhao Jingxuan's attitude, and saw that he was still indifferent, so he couldn't help but pout.

"My cousin is already on his way to Meizhou, and I hope Lord Zhao won't keep him waiting."
