Chapter 430 Omen of Locusts

Driving in the middle of the night, the guards kept watching vigilantly from time to time, and they could not walk thirty miles in one night. After a long time, layers of morning glow appeared in the vast and endless sky, and there were also curls of cooking smoke from the farmers.

"It's dawn!" As the morning sun gradually rose and the morning glow sprinkled down, the soldiers driving the car also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although these people are well-trained and often eat meat, they can see things at night, but they have to be more careful when walking, so as not to bump into adults, but being able to drive during the day is always more reassuring.

The driver has already changed a group, because they didn't plan to rest at night, they drove all night. As a result, in the early morning, the original driver went to sleep in the car, and the rest changed shifts and continued on the road.

Su Ziji was in good condition along the way. Seeing that Cen Rubai felt sleepy, he deliberately made more space for him to curl up in the carriage to sleep. He leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated, and silently read the Dragon Palace chess book.

After reading a chapter, the Panlong mentality circulates in the body for a week, and the compulsive increase in experience is enough to dispel this short-distance fatigue. This is very stable, but when the car jolts and Cen Rubai wakes up, he sees that he should be better than himself. The tired young master was opening the curtain of the car, looking solemnly at the sky outside.

Cen Rubai also looked out, seeing the swarm of insects whizzing by in mid-air, he was startled for a while, then there was no smile on his face, and a look of surprise flashed between his brows: "Is this a locust?"

"It's locusts, although there are not many, but this is not a good omen."

It takes tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million locusts to cause a plague of locusts. Now the impact is very small, but after Su Ziji finished speaking, his eyes fell on the fields, with a heavy heart.

"The locust plague may occur in May or June, or before the autumn harvest. Once it rises, there is often no way to control the locust plague. Now it is green and yellow. If the food is eaten up by these locusts, if you want to replant, you have to start from the small rations." Squeeze the seeds out."

"There will be a famine this year."

There are farmlands on both sides of this official road. In this season, it is full of vitality, but because of these bugs in the air, it has cast a layer of haze.

The sun is out now, but in fact it has just dawned, but there are already some farmers in the farmland bending over to beat the locusts bit by bit.

Although the farmer tends to watch the locusts fly by in despair and pain when he stands up, but there is no other way but to continue this behavior that does not know whether it will bring much harvest.

Cen Rubai was still saying: "Actually, there aren't many locusts right now. If there are more, it will be impossible to grow any grass."

"Floods have already caused great losses to the people in this mansion. If there is another locust plague, I am afraid that the people in the mansion will have no hope, and troubles will easily arise."

In fact, these words are said lightly. If there is a real flood and then a plague of locusts, I am afraid that there will be more troubles.

Su Ziji's expression was serious, and he naturally knew that the locust plague was terrible, and the despair it brought to people was devastating, so he really had to find a way to do it.

"What do you think about the matter in Shun'an Mansion?" Su Ziji asked Cen Rubai after putting down the curtain of the car.

Cen Rubai pointed out two current problems in the Shun'an Mansion: "There was a shortfall in one problem, 70 taels, and now the court has pursued the former official, but this investigation will not help the immediate matter, and has to be resolved."

"Now it seems that prevention of locust plagues has to be added."

Seeing Su Ziji's unsightly expression, he comforted him: "However, this is all trouble caused by the former officials, and it has nothing to do with you, my lord."

"It's great to be able to solve this matter. If it can't be solved, I can't blame you, young master."

That's not to say, if you encounter a thunderbolt while in office, even if there is no major responsibility, there will be minor blame, especially for new officials, it will be a blow.

And with this kind of thinking in mind, he just sneaked back to Beijing without making any achievements, so he is not himself.

Su Ziji just nodded and smiled, thinking about it in his heart.

After finally walking through this road, Su Ziji changed his mind when there was a fork in front of him, and ordered: "Don't go in the direction of Fucheng, just go somewhere else."

Seeing that the soldier obeyed his orders, he said to Cen Rubo: "We set off along the waterway on the imperial envoy ship. The journey is very fast. Now there is still half a month before the date of taking office stipulated by the imperial decree."

"Now that I have gone to Shun'an Mansion, there is no way to solve the problem immediately. I think there is no need to rush to get a job. Why don't we go to the counties first to see how the situation is."

"That's a great statement!" Cen Rubai agreed, "Being aware of the sentiments of the people first, being able to know what's going on in your heart, and waiting for news from my friends in the rivers and lakes, can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

"In this way, no matter whether you advance or retreat, you will be calm and unhurried. You can be said to be experienced."

Su Ziji smiled, but didn't speak. Now, Zhang Sui should be back on the imperial ship, right?

If it wasn't for the real hammer, why should I pull this person?And he is an eighth-rank official, although Wen Xin Diao Long has been upgraded, how much influence can he have?

Hearing this, how did imperial envoy Luo Pei react?

Wharf · Imperial Fleet

This wharf is only two miles away from the county seat. Although it is not the most prosperous place, it also forms a street with many merchants. Otherwise, it would be difficult to replenish the supplies on the fleet.

At this time, Zhang Sui, who took a shortcut to the pier, just as the sun was rising, squinted his eyes and watched the river gently slapping the side of the boat. There are many armors, but you know that after the farewell ceremony, you will start your journey.

Although he was about to leave, Zhang Sui almost cried: "Finally caught up."

"Hugh got to set off, let me aboard, I'm Zhang Sui." Zhang Sui shouted, not only the imperial envoy was surprised, even the county magistrate standing up straight was surprised.

Regardless of the county magistrate's surprise, Zhang Sui was a rank eight, and there were people who knew him on board, and the bridge board was not pulled out for a moment, so Zhang Sui, who was relieved to catch up with him, finally jumped onto the imperial envoy deck: "Please hurry up and report to the imperial envoy, just say that I have something urgent to see."

"It's easy, what's the matter with you, you're in such a mess, and you're injured?" A familiar official, on the one hand, sent someone to report, on the other hand, he saw that his shoulders were stained red, and he was obviously injured, so he couldn't help asking. said a word.

Zhang Sui felt as if his scars had been uncovered, and suddenly felt sad: "Hey! Don't ask, I almost won't see you all!"

Thinking of the few guards I met as friends, after all, these people are the sons of pro-military generals, and they will definitely have an official status in the future. At this time, the gap between civil and military is not too big, so it is worth making friends.

He didn't want these guards who usually called him brothers to kill him in the blink of an eye, the small flame that was already in his chest would rise up after rubbing against it, burning into raging anger.

Although he made an excuse to come back because he was cautious and afraid of getting into trouble, and even though he had done the assassination by the imperial envoy, he didn't want to get involved in such a muddy thing, fearing that he would be burned himself.

But now, thinking that his little life was almost wiped out at will, Zhang Sui only felt an inexplicable flame rising, and immediately changed his mind.
