Seeing this, Guo Lin was shocked. Lord Miao hid deep enough. Fortunately, he was not caught, otherwise he would have moved.

The Imperial Guard drove the people out of the city. Each of them broke some branches and other objects and rushed into the swarm of locusts.

This locust has never been driven away by people before, and suddenly suffered such a blow, and countless casualties were immediately killed or injured.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zijingle smiled and said, "Okay, come on, come on, as we continue, the locust plague can be eliminated."

At first, the people were still a little afraid in their hearts, and gradually realized that the locust was just a kind of insect and was not as scary as the legendary ones, so they became bolder.

Begin to echo each other.

"San brother, work harder."

"Brother Six, come on, too."

Slowly, the enthusiasm of the people burst out.

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves, and Miao Di and Guo Lin arrived.

"Macheng, what are you doing?"

Before the people arrived, Miao Di was already shouting loudly.

Zhang Zijing obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet and waved with a smile.

"Brother Miao, come and see, the people are doing so hard."

Miao Di raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The Sword of Shangfang is here."

Guo Lin, who was following behind, rolled down from the horse's back in a hurry, and knelt on the ground with a thump.

When the county magistrate knelt down, although the people were a little confused, they still knelt down in large areas.

When Zhang Zijing heard Miao Di call out Shangfang Sword, he was so angry. Emperor, I am a genuine imperial envoy. Why did you give Shangfang Sword to a deputy?

However, if the Emperor comes in person, even though he is an imperial envoy, he has to kneel down.

Seeing this sword, Ma Cheng suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

I calmed down my mind, lifted my battle robe and knelt down on both knees.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After everyone shouted, Zhang Zijing stood up, a little puzzled, "Mr. Miao, what do you mean?"

Miao Di's scabbard is reversed and he points to Macheng.

"Du, Macheng, I'll ask you, have these people ever violated the law?"

Ma Cheng secretly complained in his heart, it was indeed coming for him.

He had to hold his fists and whisper: "I have never violated the law."

Miao Di knew that it was a good opportunity to gain power at this time, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Since you have never violated the law, why send troops to drive it away?

My Tang army is a benevolent and righteous army. When did this happen?"

This, this.

Ma Cheng stuttered for a while, and he felt that he had done this too much, so he looked at Zhang Zijing with his help.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zijing tilted his head and looked elsewhere without any intention of opening his mouth.

Ma Cheng was so angry, Zhang Zijing, Zhang Zijing, you are just saying something.

"Macheng, do you know your guilt?"

Miao Di shouted loudly.

Ma Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to drag Zhang Zijing into the water. After thinking about it, it was his fault in this matter. If the chief and deputy imperial envoys were disastrous, wouldn't it be that they would lose the majesty of the court in front of the people?

Seeing Ma Cheng's expression, Miao Di could vaguely guess what he was thinking, but he felt a little unbearable. Ma Cheng, who knew so much, really couldn't bear to kill him.

"The last thing will be known to you."

Ma Cheng roared and threw the sword in his hand to the ground with a clang.

"Now, I will kill your head with the Shangfang Sword, and you will confess your guilt."

Miao Di said this, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and slowly unsheathed the sword.

Guo Lin was stunned. Is he going to kill someone?

This is a bit too strict.

The five hundred imperial guards were all dumbfounded. Although they all knew that expelling the people was not a glorious thing, they would not die if they were guilty.

The hundreds of people kneeling on the ground were even more shocked and driven away by the government army. In their opinion, this was an insignificant matter, and this matter would have to be beheaded.

An old man with white hair and beards plucked his courage and said loudly: "Sir, the Cao people have something to say."

Miao Di breathed a sigh of relief and finally someone spoke.

"Oh, old man, please stand up and talk!"

The old man was not polite, stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Sir, the grass-roots people dared to ask, what crime does this general have committed and will be beheaded?"

Miao Di looked at Ma Cheng and said with a calm face: "Ma Cheng led his troops to drive away the people, and this one should be killed."

When the old man heard this, he laughed, "My lord is such a bad word. We have not been driven away by the government army, but have volunteered to come to this field to catch locusts."

“Yes, yes, we were voluntary.”

Someone immediately echoed loudly among the people.

"Yes, we caught a lot of locusts."

This answer surprised Miao Di a little.

He reached out and grabbed the back of his head, "Old man, are you really willing?"

The old man turned around, slowly swept over the hundreds of people behind him, and then turned around and said slowly: "Yes, we heard that catching a hundred locusts can get ten cents of silver rewards, so we all rushed to catch locusts."

This reason is very sufficient.

However, Guo Lin felt a little painful.

One hundred pieces of ten cents, if the people exchange them for money, they will accumulate a lot of money. I am afraid that the treasury of Dongquan County will be empty in a few days.

It seems that we still have to ask Chang'an for help.

Since it was voluntary, there was no reason for me to kill Macheng. Besides, if I really wanted to kill myself, I would be a little bit unstoppable.

Miao Di naturally enjoyed the opportunity to go down the road.

He looked calm and scolded Ma Cheng loudly, saying that this matter would have passed.

Zhang Zijing, who was standing beside him, was so angry. How much effort did I take to accomplish this? In the end, you Miao Di and Ma Cheng robbed the credit.

However, Zhang Zijing didn't realize at this time that this was far from over.

Miao Di took a few steps forward, helped the people in the front row one by one, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I will set up a locust banquet at the county government office tonight. We will not return until we are drunk, how about it?"

OK! OK! The people responded enthusiastically, got up and devoted themselves to the work of hunting locusts again.

This wave of operation made Guo Lin, the old official in the officialdom, stunned and secretly praised in his heart. It turned out that he was a general, Miao Qi's son, not simple.

Qiu'an County.

As night fell, Shen Buyi indeed set up a long table in front of the county government office, and the ones placed were apart from fried locusts and fine wine.

The people can come to eat and drink as they please.

Shen Buyi sat at the outside table, and every person coming would chat with him.

According to what the people said, Shen Buyi had a general understanding of the progress of the locust control.

A young man slowly walked in front of Shen Buyi.

"I've met Lord Shen."

He actually greeted him on his own initiative, and Chen Buyi looked up at him.

"Mr. Shen, please be careful."
