Chapter 356: Controlling the Locust Plague

"Okay, Tang Jue, let me ask you a question." Qin Yu didn't bother with him, and asked, "Is it true that everyone in your village wears iron chains on their feet and has a cage demon tattoo on their back?"

"The patriarch of your village, do you have these things on the village elders?"

"This question doesn't involve your village's secrets, so it's okay if you answer."

"None of them." Tang Jue said, "The patriarch and the village elders, as well as their 'prison guards', are all like you, with no chains on their feet, no cage tattoos on their backs, and no nose rings."

"In that case, don't you ordinary villagers feel that it's unfair?" Qin Yu said.

"There's nothing unfair about it." Tang Jue said lightly, "They were originally born noble people, and we were originally their prisoners. It was in our previous lives that we committed the most heinous sins before we were reborn into ordinary families."

"And they were good people in their previous lives, and only then did they reincarnate in their hometowns and enjoy the wealth of the generations while shepherding us."

"Is there anything particular about the chains on your feet and the cages on your backs?" Qin Yu said, "I'm very interested in your mysterious beliefs."

"Since you're interested, it's okay for me to tell you about it." Tang Jue's eyes showed a look of pride, "Our ancestor was Shang Jun, and when he was punished by Emperor Qin, his descendants fled in all directions."

"One of the descendants came to Tangjia Village and changed his surname to Tang."

"You are actually descendants of the Legalists!" Qin Yu was shocked when he heard this, "No wonder the Legalists in history have only heard of their academics, the real descendants of the lineage, but there is no historical record, it turns out that they lived in seclusion to a paradise."

I remember that when Shang Jun was reused by Qin Xiaogong, he issued a policy in a prefecture and county of Qin State, and then gathered the people together to ask their opinions on the new policy.

As a result, a group of people stood up against it.

Shang Jun ordered the sergeants to behead all those who objected.

In addition, some people saw this and said that the new policy was good, and they supported the new policy. And Shang Jun asked the sergeant to kill all the people he supported.

The person next to him asked him why, and Shang Jun said that the policies formulated by the imperial court, they just need to strictly implement them. Whether it is against or for it, it must be all killed.

That is, they do not have the right to have their own ideas.

So only those who don't say a word will survive.

"Not bad!" Tang Jue's tone became even more proud, "The cage on our backs represents the strictness and sacredness of the Fa, and there is no room for any blasphemy. Whoever dares to straighten up his waist is blaspheming the Shang Emperor."

"Then the god of hell in the cage will come out at night and leave him with nothing left of the dregs he has eaten."

"And what about your shackles?" Qin Yu asked again.

"We committed the heinous sins of our previous lives and were reborn into ordinary families in Lujia Village. And the shackles are the evidence that we are serving the sentence and forgiving the sins, and only if we do not break free from the shackles for the rest of our lives, and the merits are complete, and then we can be a jailer and a master to enslave other prisoners in the name of hell. There is an old saying in our village, "Only when you endure hardship can you become a superior person."

"And the shackles on our feet bear the mark of merit that we have served. It is the instrument of our future enslavement of the prisoners, and it is also a strong manifestation of our lifelong punishment without resistance."

"The heavier the chain that wears, and the longer it lasts, the more respectable his will be."

"What a thought!! Qin Yu's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Tie a straight stake to his back." Qin Yu said, "Let his waist never bend. I stayed in the same room with him at night."

"I'll see if the demons in the cage will come out and leave him with no dregs left."

"Sir, it's not worth it, he doesn't know you." Lingshu said, "And the god of the prison is their thousand-year-old faith, what if it does appear at night?"

"Then I'll kill him!" Qin Yu said, "Do it!"

"Good!" When the elders of the second room and the elders of the third room heard this, they immediately looked for it

Came the stakes, ropes, and tied Tang Jue.

Crunchy...... When he was forcibly tied to a stake by several people, Tang Jue broke out in a cold sweat with pain, but he still didn't shout, and his will was extremely strong.

Because he has been walking all his life, he is forced to straighten his waist, which makes him feel more painful than torture.

But fortunately, he was not originally Luo Guo, just used to it, and was forcibly straightened up, which did not break his spine. The corpse also observed when she did it, and she was measured.

The severe pain finally disappeared, and after Tang Jue returned to normal, he was finally able to see a wider world.

In the past, his waist was bent to 90 degrees, and his eyes only had dirt on the ground, cow, ants, shells, and cockroaches, and he rarely saw flowers and trees in a parallel field of vision, let alone looked up at the sky.

Many people in Tangjia Village don't even know that there are birds in the sky.

With him, we went to the village to see the situation of the locust plague.

The three of them took Tang Jue, who was tied to a wooden stake, and left the coffin's hut.

It didn't take long to see that the villagers had already launched an operation to hunt and kill locusts. Thanks to the efforts of the population, the locust swarm has gradually decreased, and the operation to kill the locusts has progressed quickly and extremely effectively.

Because Lujia Village is surrounded by mountains, the swarm of locusts that broke in was only a small one, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

In less than half a day, more than half of them were wiped out by the villagers.

"Locusts are divine insects, you dare to hunt them, and some people even caught them and fried them!?" Tang Jue's expression froze, "In the face of the divine insects, we must have a sense of awe, otherwise the heavens will soon send calamity......

"There is also a plague of locusts in your village?" Qin Yu asked.

"The locust plague in Tangjia Village has lasted for ten days." Tang Jue said.

"And how do you do that?" Qin Yu asked again.

"Doors and windows are closed in every house." Tang Jue said, "The patriarch said, but if we take a serious look at the locusts, it is a sin. Because there is an astonishing royal aura in the eyes of the locusts, and they will die at the sight of them."

Tangjia Village.

The patriarch Tang Yuanshan's home is a high-rise building, eating big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and sitting on a chair covered with luxurious blankets.

and several other villagers talked and laughed, singing and dancing.

On the wine table in front of them was not only beef and mutton, but also a plate of fried locusts.

Tang Yuanshan grabbed a handful of fried locusts and threw them into his mouth, "I have to say, this fried locust is really unprecedentedly delicious."

"What happens to the villagers?" Next to humanity.

"As long as they're not dead, we don't have to worry." The patriarch laughed, "What does it matter to us whether these lowly prisoners live or die? Life is too short to enjoy in time, otherwise I'm sorry for these short decades."
