Chapter 133
The two looked at each other, and finally Qin Lu opened his mouth, "I'll go take a look with you."

"Okay." Qin Tieniu did not refuse. Now that the village is in trouble, if she stays alone in the shop, she will probably be restless.

With this decision, Qin Lu tidied up a bit, told Qin Yu to go straight to the village with Qin Tieniu.

Qin Erzhuang has been staying in the village for the past few days, saying that he is afraid that the chickens and ducks at home will be stolen. After all, the land can be blatantly taken over, and this livestock will be targeted.

Thinking of this, Qin Erzhuang volunteered to go back to the village to watch, and on the way, he could also help the village chief drive away those villagers from other villages who came to seize the land to grab food.

Although the business of the hot pot restaurant is very busy, Qin Lu has already arranged it very smoothly. Several people work together, plus some food and snacks that can be taken out. Now even if there are one or two people missing, they are only a little busy and will not There is a situation of being too busy.

It's just that Qin Lu didn't expect that as soon as Qin Erzhuang left, the locust incident would break out.

She is very clear that locusts are a disaster for the people of this era. If they really flood, the whole year's harvest will be gone, which means that the whole family's hard work for a year will be wasted.

Just thinking of this made Qin Lu feel very uncomfortable.

The two walked quickly along the way, and Qin Tieniu didn't know what happened to Qin Lu. On the way to the most severely affected village, he blocked Qin Lu who was galloping fast, "Daughter-in-law, why are you so anxious, but why did you come out?" What's the matter?"

Qin Tieniu looked at Qin Lu with concern.

Qin Lu shook her head slightly, but her eyes were full of worry. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth and said, "If the locusts are really flooding, the people will suffer unspeakably."

"Don't worry, no matter what, we will find a way."

"Ah."

Not long after, the two came to the crop fields in the neighboring village. When they saw the scene before them, they were shocked.

Qin Lu had imagined what kind of scene it would be, but never imagined it would be like this. The locusts flying all over the sky were covered in darkness, and food could still be seen in the surrounding crops. The locusts almost ate up all the food. The harvest time is about to come, and if this time is destroyed, isn't that tantamount to stabbing a knife in the heart of a person?

She looked serious, and subconsciously tightened the grip on Qin Tieniu's sleeve, "Daughter-in-law..."

Qin Tieniu noticed that Qin Lu's body was trembling, and pulled her towards him, "It's a locust, we have to find a way."

"Correct."

As soon as Qin Lu replied, he was about to discuss with Qin Tieniu how to deal with it when he saw many people coming to the fields. Some of them recognized Qin Tieniu, and the leader led a group of people to kneel before him, "Master Taishou, Save our lives, these grains will soon be devoured by locusts, what shall we do?"

"My lord, although there were locusts in previous years, there have never been so many. This year is also strange. Since half a month ago, the locusts seem to be against us. They come here every now and then. These days, they are here every day. Hovering, take a look at the crops left..."

"That's right, my lord, we only need this ration throughout the year. If it's all eaten by locusts, we won't be able to live anymore..."

The people complained one after another, Qin Tieniu glanced at Qin Lu beside him, although neither of them opened their mouths, but their eyes met, they told each other again, "This matter is fraudulent." '

No matter how many locusts gather in groups, it is impossible for them to be so concerned. Someone must have done it deliberately.

"Everyone, get up first, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"My lord, we don't need you to investigate anything, we just want you to drive the locusts away."

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, the prefect will not ignore you, you go back first, and the prefect and I will continue to inspect the disaster situation, and after confirming the loss and the number of locusts, the insects will be wiped out."

"really?"

Several people sized Qin Lu up, with disbelief in their eyes.

"Really, her words are the words of the official, and the official promises that the locusts will not be rampant."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

"Thank you girl!"

After the people thanked them, they left the venue one after another.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Lu looked at Qin Tieniu with a sad face, "Tie Niu, you noticed it too, didn't you?"

"Yes, there must be someone playing tricks. Since many disaster-stricken people are eyeing our village, it's likely to be a purpose."

"Yeah, I guess..."

Qin Lu didn't say the rest, but Qin Tieniu understood, he nodded slightly, "Don't worry, didn't you say that? If gods block and kill gods and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, if the people behind the scenes are here for us , then I will make him pay a heavy price."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Qin Lu's eyes looked at Qin Tieniu earnestly. In the following time, the two searched for all the crop fields that had been infested by locusts. Several nearby villages were affected, but their village had not suffered too much for the time being. Great disasters, but even if things like locusts are controlled artificially, they cannot be completely controlled.

Some locusts still came to the crops in their village, but it seemed that someone was driving the locusts away, so not many came in.

From this point of view, it is a good thing, but if all the surrounding villages were attacked by locusts, but their village was spared, how would the people in other villages feel?

Coming to grab land and grain seems to be a normal reaction for a person. After all, they are the only ones who have not suffered. It is hard not to think that they have caused other villages to suffer.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloom flashed across Qin Tieniu's face, "This group of people are too much, I will never let them do what they want."

"Tie Niu, don't be arrogant, it's more important to solve the current problem first."

"it is good."

When the two returned to the town, it was already dark, "Daughter-in-law, you go back to the hotpot restaurant and rest, I'll go to the county government office to have a look, if there's nothing wrong, I'll go back later."

"Okay, don't worry."

The two were saying goodbye, Qin Tieniu arrived at the county yamen soon, but when he arrived, he saw a circle of people at the gate of the county yamen, the gate of the yamen was closed tightly, and he was wondering that suddenly someone in the crowd recognized him , "It's the prefect, it's the prefect."

As the man shouted, everyone turned their guns and surrounded Qin Tieniu, "Master Taishou, you don't care after all, you are the local parent official, and now our crops are infested by locusts, are you going to pretend Can't Tsukuru see it?"

"I heard that you came from the village, but now you have forgotten your roots, haven't you?"

"Qin Tieniu, we are all from the same village, don't you want to die without saving us?"

……

It was the same rhetoric and the same intimidation. Qin Tieniu looked around, and the faces of many people were filled with anger. The county yamen servant heard the voices of the people and quickly opened the door, "My lord, my lord..."

Qin Tieniu glanced at the yamen servant, "Alright everyone, listen to me first."
