Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 252

Chen Cheng also felt a little strange when he saw him like this.

Although the regent is indeed a bit scary, he never acts for personal gain. Why does Xue Lince look so nervous?

After hearing Chen Cheng's question, Xue Lince shook his head slightly.

Even before he arrived in Licheng, he was already a little nervous.

I don't know what is going on in the city.

But it must be very bad.

After all, I have indeed seen too much along the way.

Xue Lince couldn't help but sigh, what else can he do now?

It's just that the soldiers came to block it, and the water came and the earth covered it.

"Master Chen, please go back and rest quickly. It's time for me to go back to my room." Xue Lince reluctantly smiled at Chen Cheng.

Seeing what he said, Chen Cheng didn't intend to continue asking, so he turned around and went to his room.

After he left, Chai Jin stepped out from the side and asked, "How was it?"

Xue Lince smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What else could he do? Even if he was almost told by the regent that he must be punished if he couldn't come up with a plan, he still couldn't come up with any effective method.

After all, he was just a designer in his previous life and had nothing to do with water control.

"I almost rushed in when I heard him shouting inside." Chai Jin said, as if he was still frightened, "Is this guy's mind really okay?"

Xue Lince shook his head. He didn't know. Seeing that the regent looked normal on weekdays, he had just arranged his work in an orderly manner.

But who is a serious person who has nothing to do but is as murderous as him?

Xue Lince sighed and looked at Chai Jin in front of him, with a strange idea popping up in his mind.

I'm afraid only a killer like Li Kui can rival this man...

The two parted at their respective doors. After Xue Lince entered the house, he did not see Tang Luoyu.

Thinking that he had gone to Chai Jin's place and hadn't come back yet, he reached for the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water.

Before I drank, I heard Tang Luoyu come in.

"How's it going? What did he ask you to come over for?" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince nervously.

"I just arranged the work," Xue Lince did not tell Tang Luoyu the truth. After all, even if he told her about this matter, it would only make her anxious, and there was no practical solution.

"This madman is really scary." Tang Luoyu patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "I still thought that if he did anything to you, I would risk it all..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Lince covered his mouth: "Walls have ears, so it's better to be careful, in case you are overheard..."

Tang Luoyu nodded and sighed.

Soon, the army arrived at Licheng.

Before he entered the gate, he saw two generals, Zhang Fan and Zhao Peng, who had taken orders before, standing at the city gate to greet them. Seeing that they were the only ones with no other officials in sight, the regent nodded with great satisfaction.

"Where have everyone gone?" When he asked this question, there was even some joy in his voice.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, we have been accommodated in the county government." Zhang Fan clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, do you want to go to the city to rest now?"

"Wang Qi is so old! You two will lead the baggage and your troops and camp outside the city. The rest will follow the king into the city!" Then he stretched out his hand, and the large group of troops behind him followed the regent into the city.

"It's so majestic." Tang Luoyu sneered lightly and put down the curtain in his hand.

"All the things we brought at home also went with the baggage, right?" Xue Lince confirmed with Tang Luoyu again, "Did you tell Ma Sui and the others?"

Tang Luoyu reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I told Ma Zhizhi about this after the troops were divided that day."

They didn't bring much luggage, they just brought the medicinal materials that Tang Luoyu had collected before.

After all, after the great disaster, many people were killed by the plague.

"That's good..." Xue Lince looked at the sky outside, feeling a little flustered.

"Brother Xue, what's going on?" Ke Ran could tell immediately that he seemed to be distracted, "But what's wrong?"

Xue Lince shook his head gently: "I don't know either, I'm just a little flustered for no reason, and I always feel like something is going to happen."

"What's the matter?" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince in surprise, wondering what was wrong with him.

"I don't know, maybe it's just an illusion." Xue Lince sighed, took Tang Luoyu's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, "I shouldn't have let you follow..."

"But I don't feel at ease at home." Tang Luoyu pouted and muttered unhappily.

"Okay, you two." Chai Jin said speechlessly, "What time of the day is this? Can you two make out when no one is around?"

Tang Luoyu didn't speak and made a face where Chai Jin couldn't see.

Although there were only five or six hundred people, including the horse teams and carriages, it still seemed a bit crowded in Licheng City today.

Tang Luoyu had been to Licheng before, but she didn't expect that the bustling city would become so depressed after the flood, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

The city was so quiet that one could even faintly hear the cries of people in their homes.

Tang Luoyu couldn't bear it, so she put down the car curtain and came to Xue Lince's side, as if she could only feel a little warmth by leaning on him.

"It's okay, it will get better." Xue Lince also noticed her unhappiness.

Tang Luoyu nodded slightly and said nothing.

Soon, the group arrived at the county house. The regent went in first with a group of officials. Tang Luoyu and others who followed were led by the clerks to rest in the side room.

When he arrived at the county government office, the regent was sitting behind the table in the back hall of the government office. At this time, all the officials in the Shandong government followed him and saluted him.

"Don't worry about these false courtesy," the regent frowned, "Where is Cai Tiao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white beard came forward and bowed: "I'm here, my official."

"Are you Cai Tiao, the prefect of Shandong?" The regent raised an eyebrow and took the bamboo tube handed over by Zhang Fan. After opening it, he snorted coldly and threw the contents on the table, "Tell me about it.

, what did you do after the flood occurred?"

Cai Tiao felt like he was sweating deeply, but at this moment he had to say: "Xiaoguan, Xiaguan immediately organized the evacuation of the people, and then opened warehouses to release grain to calm the price of grain..."

"Open the warehouse to release grain to calm the price of grain?" The regent snorted coldly, "Cai Tiao, do you think I am a fool?"

The prefect was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and all the officials who followed him also knelt down.

At this time, the regent slammed the table next to him: "Shandong is a large granary of the country, and the price of rice in the capital is only forty cents. I did not expect that the current price of rice in Shandong has reached one tael of silver per dou. What's the price?"

Only sell five hundred bushels a day!"

"Is this the price of food that Cai Tiao has calmed down?" The regent stared at the prefect in front of him, his eyes red, and with a sudden snap, the table next to him shattered into pieces.
