"Haha! What's the problem with this? That Wang Xiaodong's mother has a distressed old illness, and she has been sick recently. I made it clear to him and told him that I am familiar with Sun Dao, so he can let Sun Daochang treat his mother. .

Then I told him that shopkeeper Jin had illegally loaned money, and he is now being investigated by the court. If he cooperates with us, he will be fine, and he can also let Sun Daochang treat his mother's illness. If he insists on going the same way with shopkeeper Jin When it gets dark, then he will go to jail with Boss Jin! "

Cheng Chumo smiled triumphantly when hearing Li Ke's question in the Lantian county government office and in the back hall, and then explained the general cause and effect.

After listening, Li Ke couldn't help but admire: "Ugly cow, you can be regarded as moving with affection, understanding reason, and promising profit. It's not bad! In this way, Wang Xiaodong should be on our side. , We also have plenty of time to collect more evidence!"

"Hey! Do you want me to tell me what evidence are we collecting? Just capture Jin Wanfu and Zhang Xiongfei, and Haosheng will interrogate them. They must all recruit~!"

Cheng Chu quietly curled his lips, disdainfully said.

"Never!"

Li Ke shook his head, "We went to Beijing this time just to eradicate locusts, and my father did not give us the right to arrest people without authorization. Even if it is finally found out that Jin Wanfu did illegally lend to Zhang Xiongfei who wants to hoard and drive up food prices, we also You must rely on the power of the county government of Xinfeng County! Wait a minute, and ask the head of the mountain for advice~!"

Cheng Chu just shrugged indifferently and said, "Okay! Everything is up to you! Oh, someone is coming!"

In the end, Cheng Chumo's expression changed slightly because he heard a sound of footsteps outside.

Li Ke sat down when he heard the words, and his complexion returned to normal.

"His Royal Highness, the food and soup are all ready! Do you want to send them to Yonganhou and the children now?"

Wang Dezheng walked in and saw that there was another Cheng Chumo in the room. He was taken aback for a while, and then he reported to Li Ke.

Li Ke nodded, and said, "Yeah! Deliver it now! Wangxian ordered you to take the yaman immediately and go with the king to deliver food outside the city!"

Wang Dezheng bowed and said, "The officials follow the orders!"

After a while, the county government of Xinfeng County drove out of five bullock carts. Each of the bullock carts contained a wooden barrel. Several government officials walked straight towards the South City Gate.

At this time, the atmosphere in the city was completely different from when Li Ke and the others first arrived, because the news that the Tianji brigade came to Xinfeng County to eliminate locusts has spread. After hearing the news, the people immediately burst into joy. The depressive atmosphere created by the world instantly dissipated without a trace.

"Have you heard? Yonganhou brought the Tianji brigade to our Xinfeng County to kill locusts~!"

"real or fake?"

"Then there can be fakes? You can go to the farmland outside the city to have a look. There are chicken flocks brought by Yonganhou everywhere, countless!"

"Oh! That's great! Our crops in Xinfeng County have been saved! I heard that the chicken brigade took less than two days to wipe out all the locusts in Lantian County. Doesn't that mean we belong to Xinfeng County? The locusts can also be wiped out within two days!"

"No, no, no! It should be faster! I just heard from a Hanjiazhuang doll that they brought a total of 310,000 chickens in the Tianji brigade this time, which is more than double the number before. In other words, the locusts in our county can be wiped out today!"

"Ah? That's great! The food prices in the city have risen in the past two days, and I thought the food shortage was coming!"

"Hey! Now let's see how the unscrupulous grain merchants in the city drive up food prices!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Hey! Don't say it! There are more than a dozen chickens in my family. I will go back and drive them out of the city to help them kill locusts together in Yonganhou!"

"I have 30 chickens in my family, and I will go back to catch them!"

Although the people are happy, but some people feel uncomfortable.

"What? Yonganhou brought the Tianji team to Lantian County? And now the size of the Tianji team has doubled than before?"

In the west of the city, the back hall of Zhang Ji Liangpu.

After Zhang Xiongfei heard the report from the slave, his old face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he slapped the table hard and got up.

"Yes! Master! Now that it has spread in the county, should we go to Chang'an City to buy food?"

The slave said with a bitter face, cautiously.

"Buy a fart!"

Zhang Xiongfei said with a black face, "The locust plague is about to be wiped out. Do you buy so much food to feed the mice? Get out! Get out!"

"Yes! Master!"

Seeing Zhang Xiongfei's anger, the house slave hurriedly backed out.

"Three hundred thousand chickens, that is to say, the locust Tianji brigade in Xinfeng County can be completely wiped out in less than a day. In some small counties, it can even clear the locusts in two counties in one day, even if there are hundreds of disaster-stricken counties. , Tianji Brigade can clean up more than 20 in half a month, and there will definitely not be a locust plague near Chang'an. If you want to sell food at a high price, you can only go to other places. That would be too much of a loss. !"

Inside the house, Zhang Xiongfei muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.

After a while, he suddenly remembered the two Orchid who had just given Jin Wanfu this morning. He slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "It's over, it's over! The old man's forefoot has just borrowed 6,000 from Yanhuang Bank at double interest rate. I thought I could still make a lot of money with these six thousand guanxis, but now it’s a loss of my wife and a loss of soldiers? Oh! My two lovely beauties! What a pity! What a pity!"

With that, Zhang Xiongfei hammered Xiong's mouth with a heartache on his face.

He didn't know that there was more trouble waiting for him!

..................................

"Xiaguan met Yong'an Hou! Hou Ye was able to bring Tianji brigade to Xinfeng County to kill locusts. Xiaguan and the more than 50,000 people in the county are grateful to Hou Ye!"

In a village outside the county seat of Xinfeng County, after Li Ke and his party found the "main force", they hurriedly distributed meals to the children, while Wang Dezheng came to Li Zexuan and saluteed sincerely.

Li Zexuan nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Benhou brought the Tianji brigade out to eradicate locusts. First, he received the Holy Order, and second, he couldn't bear to see the common people being poisoned by locusts. But Benhou just heard about Xinfeng County recently. The price of food has reached five cents and one stone, Wang County Order, can you explain it?"

After all, he stared at Wang Dezheng with scorching eyes. Obviously, Li Ke had already told him what they had found in Xinfeng County.

A few drops of sweat leaked out of Wang County magistrate’s face, and he didn’t know whether it was too hot or his heart was too nervous, so he hurriedly said:

"The lower officials have no way to govern, causing profiteers in the county to take advantage of the locust plague to drive up food prices. The lower officials are ashamed of the court, and the saint is ashamed. After returning to the city, the lower officials will write a letter to the court!"

Li Zexuan said coldly:

"As the magistrate of Xinfeng County, the food prices in the county are soaring. Of course you can't escape the crime of negligence! But the most urgent thing is to find out that the grain merchants are taking advantage of the locust plague to drive up food prices! Food prices must be stabilized. Xinfeng County is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, but on the third day of the locust plague, food prices have risen. If Benhou comes later, will the food prices here become ten cents? One stone, or one stone for one hundred cents?"

The magistrate Wang Xian said: "What Hou Ye said! The next official will return to the city to investigate the merchants who are driving up food prices!"

"Wait!"

The county magistrate Wang turned around to leave, but Li Zexuan stopped him with a word, and then said meaningfully: "It is not terrible for grain merchants to drive up food prices. The terrible thing is that there is collusion between officials and businessmen to jointly drive up food prices! So this matter does not need to be. You go to investigate. Of course, Benhou does not have the power and time to investigate. Before dark today, officials from the Ministry will come over to investigate the matter thoroughly. I hope that the Wang County Order can cooperate in that time!"

According to the intelligence of Li Ke and Cheng Chumo, Li Zexuan felt that Wang Dezheng 80% also had some problems, and it was necessary to check it. But what Li Ke said earlier was correct. They just went to the counties to eradicate locusts, and Li Er did not give them. They have the power to check officials and merchants in all counties. Even with this power, Li Zexuan has no time to delay here, so he plans to send this matter back to Lantian County with a power treasure, and let Li Tai report to Li Er.

When Wang Dezheng heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly said:

"Hou Ye, please forgive me! Xiaguan has been busy with disaster relief in recent days, but has ignored the soaring food prices in the city. Xiaguan is indeed guilty of oversight! Yes, it is Zhang Xiongfei. This time he took the lead in raising food prices. Xiaguan’s wife is his younger sister, so he has no fear! But Xiaguan dare to swear to the sky that he has never received a penny from Zhang Xiongfei in this matter! Xiaguan was wronged! I still hope that Lord Hou Mingjian. !"

Hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Heh! Whether you have received any benefits, you don’t count, and Benhou’s words are not counted. The officials of the staff will check it out clearly! But you can tell the truth. Hou said these things quite honestly, and this Hou will truthfully pass the words you said to the imperial court! As for whether you are guilty, it depends on how the sage decides!"

Wang Dezheng arched his hands and said, "Thank you Lord Hou!"

At this moment, Li Ke walked over quickly and said, "The long mountain! Many villagers came over there, saying that they are seeing you!"

Li Zexuan raised his brows and asked, "See me? What do you see me doing?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "Some of them came to deliver food, some came to thank you in person, and some came to deliver chickens!"

"Send chicken?"

Li Zexuan could understand the food delivery and thank you in person, but the chicken delivery made him overwhelmed for a while.

"Oh! Ke means that the people want to send their own captive chickens to the Tianji brigade to help catch the locusts together, and return them when we run out~!"

Seeing Li Zexuan's doubts in his eyes, Li Ke quickly explained.

"Oh? What about this? Go, go and see~!"

Li Zexuan was surprised when he heard this. Although the 90,000 chickens in this Tianji brigade came from the farmers in Lantian County, after all, Xinfeng County is not Lantian County, and the people here are not like the people in Lantian County. He trusts, but now someone is willing to borrow his own chicken, which really surprised him.

The two walked towards the people not far away, and the county magistrate Wang thought about it, and then he lifted his heels over.

"Master Hou is here!"

"This is Yonganhou! So young!"

"Worthy of being a child of a fairy, good-looking and handsome!"

"If it weren't for Yong'an Hou, all the food in my family's fields would have been ruined by locusts! I would give Yong'an Hou a kowtow!"

Seeing Li Zexuan walking toward him, the people suddenly became excited.

"See Lord Hou!"

When Li Zexuan was still four or five steps away from them, the people leaned down to worship.

Li Zexuan took a look, dear, there are thousands of people! It is noon now, and these people probably all came over to deliver food, chickens, and thank you without even having lunch. He never thought that he could be so popular with the people in Xinfeng County, and he was a little flattered for a while!

"The folks don't have to be polite! Please hurry up!"

Li Zexuan quickly raised his hands falsely, and said loudly.

"Master Hou! You brought these dolls to help me eradicate locusts. I am grateful. I just want to reward these hard-working children with some food. I hope Master Hou will not refuse!"

At this moment, a white-haired old man carrying a food basket, stood up and said sincerely to Li Zexuan.

As soon as the voice fell, the rest of the people quickly yelled in excitement.

"Yes! Lord Hou! This is the chicken stewed by my mother-in-law. I hope it can help the children!"

"My family also stewed eggs!"

"Master Hou saved my crops, that is, I saved seven people in my family! Old man, I kowtow to Master Hou! I hope Master Hou is safe and prosperous for life!"

"I also kowtow to Master Hou. Thank you Master Hou for saving my 35 mu of crops!"

"Master Hou! I have thirty chickens in my family. Can you join the Tianji brigade to eliminate locusts?"

"Master Hou! I have fifty chickens in my family~www.ltnovel.com~ and I am willing to lend them! It doesn't matter if you lose them! Please don't refuse, Master Hou~!"

The people talked about their demands. After a while, Li Zexuan had already knelt down in front of the people. Among them were seven or eight-year-old children, thirty or forty-year-old middle-aged people, and even six. Seventy-year-old man!

They are all people who are in danger from the locust plague and are saved by Li Zexuan today. No one can understand the joy and touch of the rest of their lives in their hearts. At this moment, they are willing to do anything for Li Zexuan!

Li Zexuan didn't like others to kneel to him. When the first old man was about to kneel to him, he had already reached out to stop him, but he could stop one, but he couldn't stop the hundreds of dealers!

Seeing more and more people kneeling to themselves, and the scene getting more and more noisy, Li Zexuan quickly got lucky and said loudly, "Guys! Hear me!"

A loud voice reached everyone’s ears, and the excited people suddenly fell silent. Li Zexuan continued: "Guys, get up first! The kid just got the crown, and many of you can count as me. My elders, how can the kid He De, can afford this gift from you? You are not repaying your kindness, this is a loss of my longevity~! So please get up quickly, and if you have something, let us stand up slowly Speak slowly!"

Hearing this, the people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while they stood up.

Upon seeing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The people would kneel down again. He hurriedly drove the railroad while it was hot: "You folks love the children in Lantian County and bring them food. Benhou is very grateful, but as you all See, the children already have food, which is a waste. Please bring back the food you brought back!"
