"presumptuous!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Jing Ke immediately drew his sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword at the old man's throat, and scolded him sternly.

"Drought or locust plagues, these are natural disasters, what does it have to do with you?"

"You old man dares to argue with the emperor, accuse the emperor of unjustly men, and even want the emperor to return the Shangdang to Korea. His intention is to be punished!"

After scolding, Jing Ke turned to Zhao Jia and said, "Your Majesty, please order me to execute this person who is witch-spoken to the public to serve as a warning to others, so as not to continue to slander the silly people!"

Jing Ke's words immediately scared the old man to fight. Because he was too weak, he couldn't help but fall to the ground.

When the other tribes and gentry heard this, their faces turned pale.

However, although these people looked fearful on their faces, they showed a hint of stubbornness in their eyes. It was obvious that the severe drought and locust plague were all caused by Zhao Jiaxing's unrighteous army.

Zhao Jia took all the expressions of everyone, and then said to Jing Ke: "Get back."

Although Jing Ke was resentful, he did not go against Zhao Jia's wishes. He took his sword and stood beside him, staring at the old man and others with a fierce look.

Zhao Jia walked forward, helped the old man up, and gently patted the dust on the old man's clothes.

"Jing Ke is eager to protect his master, so he disturbed you. Please don't blame me."

The old man looked at Jing Ke in a daze, then looked at Zhao Jia with apologetic expression, and finally he mustered up the courage and said, "Your wise and all of us know that you don't want to treat you like this, but drought and locust plagues have occurred one after another. If it cannot be effectively curbed, I am afraid that a thousand acres will be out of harvest this year, and many people will definitely starve to death at that time."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly knelt down, hugged Zhao Jia's right leg and cried, "Your heart is kind, but you still forget that you can be polite to us!"

"I hope you can be sympathetic to us!"

Seeing this, the other clan elders and gentry all knelt down to the ground and asked for it.

"It's extremely foolish!"

Although Jing Ke felt sorry for these people to survive, he secretly hated them for being ignorant. Unfortunately, Zhao Jia did not want to conflict with these people, so Jing Ke could only endure it secretly.

When Zhao Jia saw everyone's performance, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He knew that these people were all very superstitious and believed that such a big natural disaster would inevitably lead to the ruler's failure, which caused God's anger.

Even if Zhao Jia can suppress these people with force, it will not solve the problem, and will intensify the conflict with the people of Shangdang.

You must be cautious when dealing with this matter, otherwise a bad thing will lead to a big mistake.

"You guys get up first!"

Zhao Jia helped the old man up with force and signaled his subordinates to help the other kneeling clan elders and gentry up.

After temporarily calming everyone's emotions, Zhao Jia immediately said to everyone: "At noon tomorrow, all the people in Qianmu are welcome to come here. I will naturally give you an explanation."

After saying that, Zhao Jia no longer had the interest to continue patrolling the fields and immediately took everyone back to the city.

County yamen courtyard.

"How is the investigation?"

The border town replied: "It was not as expected by the emperor, these thousand-acre clan elders and gentry gathered here. They were indeed instructed and guided by those who were interested. They wanted to use the will of heaven to force the emperor to return the thousand-acre and even the entire Shangdang to South Korea."

Zhao Jia's face turned slightly cold and said, "Have you ever found out whether South Korea was involved in this matter?"

Biancheng shook his head and said, "Maybe, the other party did it too secretly. Chen, who was caught, refused to give anyone instructions, but just took all the responsibility on himself."

"However, after investigation, my subordinates found out that Qianmu Chen was a branch of the Korean clan Chen family, and they thought they were instructed by the Chen family's main lineage."

Zhao Jia nodded, signaling that he knew, and then said, "It's not a time to break up with Korea. The investigation of this matter has ended here. However, after the matter is over, the heads of the Chen family father and son will be sent to the Chen family's main vein."

"only!"

The next day, before noon was yet, many thousand acres of people had already arrived at the agreed location. They were talking and waiting nervously and expectantly, wanting to know what kind of explanation would the famous Pingqi Jun give.

In fact, because Han is too weak, except for the nobles and gentry, ordinary people do not have a high sense of belonging to South Korea.

Originally, with Zhao Jia's reputation, it is not a good thing that these people can become the rule of Pingqi Jun.

The bad thing is that Shangdang just became Zhao Jia's territory, and extremely rare droughts and locust plagues broke out, which made the people doubt Zhao Jia's virtues.

Time passed slowly, and as the noon was getting closer, the people were looking forward to the stars and moons, and finally saw Zhao Jia appear in sight surrounded by a large number of guards.

After a brief commotion, the place quickly returned to peace due to the maintenance of order by the elite guards and the fear of the army by the people.

Zhao Jia walked to the platform that had been set up in advance, looked around the crowded people present, and suddenly bowed deeply to everyone.

Zhao Jia's actions caused some commotion among the people.

Everyone couldn't understand why the noble status of Mr. Pingqi, Gongzi Jia, bowed to the Guizhou leader and bowed to him.

"Shangdang is the fief of Zhao Jia, but Jia failed to let the people live and work in peace and live a happy life. This is my dereliction of duty. Today, Zhao Jia apologized to all Shangdang people!"

Zhao Jia almost shouted out loud, which moved everyone's face.

This era is very particular about origin. Rulers like Zhao Jia, who are of noble origin and high status, would take the initiative to bow to the Guizhou Head in public to apologize, which is unprecedented.

The people who are used to being called back and forth by the rulers and being constantly exploited feel a little unreal at this time.

After a trance, most people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Mr. Pingqi is really as gentle and considerate as the legendary, and it might be a good thing if he could live under his rule.

But soon, the people were puzzled again. Since Mr. Pingqi is so good, why did God bring disaster to God?

Zhao Jia signaled the commotion to calm down, and then asked Jing Ke to bring the locusts that had been caught long ago, and lifted the cage high.

He pointed to the locusts in the cage and shouted to the people below: "It is these hateful locusts that you should eat up all the food you didn't have."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia felt heartbroken and suddenly opened the cage containing locusts, grabbed several locusts and held them in the air.

He shouted to the locusts with a stern voice: "You eat the grains of our people, just like eating our lungs. Now I should eat your heart and lungs, thinking that the people will take revenge!"

After saying that, Zhao Jia stuffed all the locusts caught in his hand into his mouth, and then began to chew them in big mouths. The green juice overflowed from the corners of his mouth, making everyone frightened.

"Master!"
