Martial Sage

Qingzhou.

Tang Hao Mansion.

"Master Hou! The big thing is not good!"

No one has arrived, the voice has come!

Tang Hao, who was looking at the grain distribution account book, raised his head while listening to the hurried and anxious shout.

In front of his eyes, Wu Tong dressed in patches, hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Tong glanced at Li Zhi and Zhao Limin in amazement, then moved his gaze to Tang Hao's face and said.

"Qingzhou official guards grabbed food from the people, causing food prices to skyrocket."

"Even if there is enough food now, the poor people will have no spare money to buy!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Li Zhi, Zhao Limin, and the subordinate of Qi Feng, who were sitting in the house, turned white at the same time.

It is terrible to have no food to buy.

But nowadays there is food but cannot afford it, which is even worse.

The rich and wealthy gentlemen will not hesitate to spend a lot of money. But these hungry people are already poor and can only watch the food for disaster relief be bought.

Isn't it that the borrowed food for disaster relief was all spent on the back of the knife, and it didn't make any difference?

At almost the same moment, everyone's eyes gathered on Tang Hao.

Slowly put down the ledger, Tang Hao propped his elbows on the desk, pondered for a moment, said.

"This is a good thing."

"Now the situation is like a fight between two dogs. Those rich gentlemen and Qi Feng who stock up the most food are biting each other. It seems that these fish have gradually surfaced."

"The investigation continues, and all the officials who sold grain at high prices will be recorded. After this time, the corresponding family property will be confiscated."

Tang Hao was relaxed, but Li Zhi, who was sitting aside, could no longer hold back his inner anxiety.

Stand up, walk back and forth in the hall, said.

"This food has been robbed by these gentry and tyrants. The famine of the people of Qingzhou has not been resolved, and the public grievances have not been resolved. There is still a chance to investigate these vendors?"

The anxious figure fell into Tang Hao's eyes, smiled faintly, and stood up.

"Don't worry."

"This batch of food is only a cover for people's eyes. I will have a gift to Qifeng here."

After all, Tang Hao patted Wu Tong's arm and said.

"This batch of grain must be purchased by Qifeng."

"Still tossing grains according to the points, and completely loosen the people's ointment that Qifeng has pinched in his hands."

Although Wu Tong didn't understand the meaning, his instinct told him that Tang Hao must have some truth in what Tang Hao did.

As for the gift, Wu Tong was also very curious.

"But Lord Hou, there have been changes in the great Confucian family."

"It is rumored that there are many people there, and stone tablets dug out in the fields are related to the locust plague."

Hearing this, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart sank suddenly.

The timing of this incident was too strange, but it was an omen when the price of food was soaring, and it seemed that the locust plague could not be delayed any longer.

"Are there any examples of Shipai?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Tong took out a slap-sized stone tablet from his sleeve and handed it over.

Tang Hao took the stone tablet, and a group of people hurried up to see what the stone tablet looked like.

The whole body is black, and the starting point is quite heavy, with two lines of ancient seal characters on it.

"No virtue or filial piety, heaven descends from the gods."

At first sight of these two lines of handwriting, Li Zhi's face changed suddenly and his heart was shocked.

Regarding the Black Tortoise gate, the father killed his brother and forced his father to ascend to the throne of the Tang king.

Isn't this virtue and filial piety now alluding to the emperor's father?

He also linked this locust natural disaster to these palace taboos, and in the faint, there was a sense of fear that the world would not be chaotic.

Zhao Limin's old face turned pale, his arms trembling faintly, said.

"This...this is really going to stir up chaos in Qingzhou!"

The influence of the great Confucian family is all over the Qilu land.

His undergraduates are spread all over the country, and the appeal is evident.

If the plague of locusts is used as an excuse to pour the scourge of this natural disaster on King Tang, Qingzhou will not be the only place that will cause chaos by that time.

Of course, Tang Hao knew that this shipai was deliberately done by someone.

But the immediate need is to solve this locust plague problem and completely stop it from the root cause.

Nowadays, the great Confucianists gather together to unite the people, the momentum is overwhelming, and they simply take advantage of the trend.

Tang Hao grasped the stone in his hand and announced decisively.

"Master Zhao, you are the governor of Qingzhou, and you have a high reputation in Qingzhou."

"It's up to you to preach to the people about the imperial commander, be sympathetic to the people, entertain the people of Qingzhou, go to the banquet together, and work together to fight against the locust plague."

"Presumably, the great Confucian family will even use your influence to stand up and condemn at the banquet. If it suits their wishes, it will not hinder you."

After that, Tang Hao rolled his eyes and stared at Li Zhi, said.

"Qingzhou and his party, we have traveled thousands of miles, but we haven't cooked you a delicious meal."

"This time, you will go with me and bring your guards to catch the locusts."

After listening to these words, Li Zhi widened his eyes, looked at Tang Hao incredulously, and said.

"What is the connection between this delicacy and the locusts?"

"What's more, there are countless locusts in this field."

"Only a few of us can catch this locust clean?"

Tang Hao looked at everyone in the room who was also stunned, and said with a smile.

"Everyone knows something, my Tang's specialty dish is this braised locust."

"The color is bright, golden and crisp, and the juice flows across the mouth, with a hint of grassy fragrance..."

Before the words were over, everyone in the house covered their mouths and their noses, and retched.
