Li Jizheng hurried over.

And Li Shimin and others are ready to go out again.

Yes, Taicang County is clear.

Although there are still remnants of sins in Suzhou, it is not easy to clean them up.

Moreover, it is still a little difficult for the testimony of Cai Ming's three people to be used to bring down an assassin and other officials.

Therefore, the follow-up requires Zheng Yuan and the minister sent from Chang'an to work together to search for more clues, and then slowly find out the people involved in the case one by one!

Outside Taicang County.

"Go back, and leave it at that."

Qin Fan waved his hand.

Zheng Yuan did not leave, but silently sent him off on the side.

I thought I wouldn't see my master for three years, but I didn't expect that after only one month, His Majesty would bring my master to find him.

And it solves a big problem for himself.

Although there are still challenges ahead of me.

But Zheng Yuan was not afraid.

He believed that as long as he was steady and steady, and with His Majesty's appointment, those people would be helpless against him.

And you can slowly peel off the cocoon and find out the main culprit behind the scenes little by little.

"Master, go slowly!" Zheng Yuan said.

Despite that, he still rode behind the convoy on a white horse.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but speak: "I didn't give him the white horse if I knew it, but now it's sticking to us." ”

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "Let him be, after all, it is the county order, and everything in Taicang County also needs to be handled by him, and he will go back in a short time." ”

So, Zheng Yuan chased him all the way to the junction of Taicang County and the next county, and then stopped.

Wave goodbye to the convoy.

When the convoy was far away, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"This kid really didn't chase anymore." Li Shimin said.

But Qin Fan fell silent.

I haven't seen each other for just a few months, Zheng Yuan has grown so much that he can already take charge on his own.

I just don't know what happened to the other two disciples.

But now there are two people, one in the southeast and the other in the southwest.

One in Kaiyang County, Lingnan, strives for the harmonious coexistence and common development of tribes and life-saving.

while the other was helping Nanzhao unify the six edicts, and then change the land and return to the stream.

"Hey! Hope they're okay! Qin Fan sighed leisurely.

Lingnan, Kaiyang County.

Zhao Xiuzhu and He Xiang originally planned to go into the mountains to find the whereabouts of He Xiang's best friend Xiao Yu.

As the saying goes, if you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die. @精华\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~

Only by truly finding the other party can He Xiang fully assist Zhao Xiuzhu and promote his cooperation with the tribe.

However, the locust plague, which was expected to strike in at least half a month later, came unexpectedly.

The overwhelming array of locusts swept through Kaiyang County, swooping down on the crops planted by the people outside the county.

Some of the people were so frightened that they fled into their houses.

Others raised their farming tools and waved them into the air to stop the locusts from eating their crops.

But all this is not of much use.

There are so many locusts!

Overwhelming, densely packed.

He Xiang hurriedly released all the chickens and ducks in the village and county.

It's a feast.

It is a feast for locusts, and it is also a feast for chickens, ducks and birds!

By the time the locusts were gone, there was no green in the field.

Most of the chickens and ducks were also paralyzed on the ground and motionless.

When the people saw that there was no movement, they tentatively opened the door and came out.

But I saw a bleak scene.

I couldn't help but cry loudly into the field.

A year's hard work, a year's hard work, all turned into ashes!

How can others understand all this!

Zhao Xiuzhu also felt helpless.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted.

Although it helped the tribe to withstand the locust plague.

But it seems that the locusts here in Kaiyang County are larger and more ferocious.

Plus this time there was no preparation in the slightest.

。 (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 198: Facing the Locust Plague

The locusts attacked the unsuspecting county of Kaiyang.

Crops have suffered heavy losses.

Basically, the vast majority of crops will be lost!

Qingniu was originally a citizen of Kaiyang County, planted with three acres of fertile land.

Last year, the family found a family affair for him.

But the other party asked for a high dowry of ten taels of silver.

Qingniu liked the girl very much, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

But for these ten taels of silver, I can only beg grandpa to tell grandma to make it up.

Fortunately, Qingniu's popularity is good, and he finally got enough dowry and won the beauty.

A year later, his wife gave birth to a son for him.

Life should have been prosperous.

When the harvest is over this fall, I will be able to pay off my debts and live a happy life without constraints.

However, this sudden locust plague shattered his imagination.

The crops that had been cultivated so hard were eaten by locusts.

He stood on the ground dumbfounded, dazed.

At this time, his mood was not sadness, sadness, or despair.

Rather, it is confused and empty.

In order to have a good harvest of grain, even on the hottest days, he braved the scorching sun to go to the river to fetch water for irrigation.

In the nearby fields, the crops he planted were the most vigorous.

But now, it is only half a day's work, and a "black cloud" has passed, but my hard work for a year is gone!

The original knee-high seedlings were only those rhizomes buried in the soil!

And those vegetables and fruits, there are not even roots left!

The daughter-in-law came to the field with the newborn doll in her arms, and when she saw a barren land, she immediately felt weak and sat on the ground.

And the doll also seemed to feel the backs and powerlessness of her parents, and opened her throat, crying "wow!"

Such a scene is being staged in every household.

It's just that the green cow seems to be a little less lucky.

Finally, he cleaned up his mood, coaxed his wife and children, and walked home.

But who would have thought that after a while, people would surround him.

That's right, they're here to collect debts.

When the green cow got married, the dowry of ten taels of silver could only be drawn out of five taels.

The remaining five taels were pieced together by the villagers.

Originally, it was agreed to wait until the end of the year to repay the silver with interest.

But now, things don't seem to be the same......

One of the elders said to the green cow:

"Qingniu, we came this time because we were forced to do so."

"Originally, if this locust had come late, we would have waited until we had harvested the grain!"

"We're not going to push that money so hard."

"But now, there's really no way! The locusts have eaten up the food, but our family is still waiting for the rice to be put in the pot. ”

"So I'm here to see if you can give us back the money first."

Looking at the neighbors looking at him, Qingniu felt a pain in his heart.

These people were also willing to help each other in the first place.

But now, when disaster struck, they could not protect themselves, so they could only ask themselves for money.

This is lent to him by the other party, and he needs to repay it, which is understandable.

But why is it at this point in time?
