Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Chapter 407 Revealing Flaws



Chapter 407 Revealing Flaws

It was the first time that Xiao Yanbao met such an honest official, and he was quite surprised.

Emperor Lan Gan: It's quite interesting, but I always feel that what the county magistrate said is not what it is.

Emperor Lan Qian then winked at Ling Su.

Ling Su ran over and brought Magistrate Yu back.

"There's something wrong with you, right?"

Others are trying their best to get in touch with the little princess, but you refuse to sit down even if you are asked to do so.

Magistrate Yu quickly shook his head. He couldn't admit anything.

As soon as Xiao Yanbao stamped his little foot, Teng Yun flew up and headed straight for Anjin County.

Yu County Magistrate was complaining endlessly.

Xiao Yanbao did not let Teng Yun fly too high this time. She wanted to observe the traces of the locusts and see how many crops they had damaged.

But after observing all the way, not only were there no traces of locusts, but the crops were also growing well.

Xiao Yanbao felt much more at ease.

It may be that there are not many locusts and they still stay in Anjin County and have not spread to other counties.

This is easy to handle.

Soon Xiao Yanbao and the others arrived at the territory of Anjin County, and the county magistrate became even more uneasy.

"Your Majesty, it's already getting late. Otherwise, we can just go back to the county office to make it rain." Magistrate Yu said.

"No." Xiao Yanbao refused directly.

Emperor Lan Qian thought that his daughter had changed the place where the alchemy rain was made this time, and wanted to go directly to the fields to make the alchemy rain.

"The little princess has the final say where to go, why do you still need to talk more?" Emperor Lan Gan scolded.

County Magistrate Yu: He doesn’t want to talk too much, but he doesn’t talk too much. He is afraid of revealing his secret when he goes to the fields.

Now he regretted helping Zhang Yuanwai.

"If I don't catch all the locusts, even if it rains, I will still be eaten by locusts." Xiao Yanbao said.

"Little princess, I didn't see any locusts along the way. Maybe they have eaten enough and have flown away," County Magistrate Yu said.

Emperor Lan Gan glanced at the county magistrate. What are you talking about? Are you going to fly away without arresting him?

"As long as they don't eat the crops in your Anjin County, right? Then the crops in other counties are not the crops of Lan Country? The people in other counties don't care?"

Magistrate Yu was speechless when asked by Emperor Lan Qian.

Emperor Lan Gan snorted. With such a big heart, being a county magistrate is the greatest official in your life.

"Little princess, look, look below." Ruofeng suddenly shouted.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked down. Bare ground was exposed in the farmland not far away, and not a single crop was left.

Xiao Yanbao: I was really eaten, but this time the food was a little different.

What made it different, she couldn't tell for a while.

Xiao Yanbao dropped Teng Yun in the bare field.

As soon as it landed, Zhang Fu let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Lan asked.

Zhang Fu frowned, "Wherever the locusts go, there is no grass. This time the locusts are a bit strange. They only eat crops but not grass. It seems that the weeds in this field are still growing."

Xiao Yanbao: Finally I know what’s different.

Magistrate Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai, if this matter comes to light, don't blame me for not protecting you. Who told you to keep something for yourself?

Zhang Fu was curious and bent down to take a closer look. At this glance, his expression changed.

He squatted down and began to pull away the soil, moving at the same time.

Xiao Yanbao followed and looked behind.

Isn't there gold buried in the soil?

Zhang Fu pooped, and Ruofeng and Ling Su followed suit.

Lan Gandi: What are you looking for?

Magistrate Yu's heart was in his throat. This was another clue.

Zhang Fu pulled several ridges before he straightened up and looked at the magistrate meaningfully.

Xiao Yanbao looked at Zhang Fu's hands and didn't see Zhang Fu digging out any gold.

"Zhang Fu, what's in this field? If you're looking for it, it's not your ancestor's grave buried here, right?" Emperor Lan Gan teased.

"Your Majesty, the crops in this field are not eaten by locusts at all, but cut by knives." Zhang Fu kept his eyes on the county magistrate as he spoke.

Magistrate Yu couldn't stand firm and fell into the ditch.

Zhang Fu's words shocked everyone.

Including the county magistrate. In fact, he did not know that these crops were cut with knives.

"Zhang Fu, are you sure?" Emperor Lan Qian had a look of anger on his face.

Zhang Fu nodded affirmatively.

"Although these crops have been cut close to the soil, the stubble cut by the knife cannot be covered up. It is completely different from what the locusts eat. They are all eaten together."

Emperor Lan Gan also bent down and looked at the place where Zhang Fu had pulled him over.

Sure enough, the roots of the crops were exposed, and they were completely different from the roots of the crops that the locusts had eaten before.

"Magistrate Yu, tell me, what is going on?" Emperor Lan Qian said coldly.

Magistrate Yu had already gotten up from the ditch and was kneeling there without daring to move.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, I really don't know, but some people reported that the crops were eaten by locusts, so I hurriedly went to find the Emperor and the little princess. I was afraid that I would be late and the Emperor would return to Beijing."

[Master, this county magistrate lied. 】

The sound of Dahuang yawning lazily came to Xiao Yanbao's mind.

Emperor Lan Gan also heard Dahuang's voice and frowned hard.

[Are you saying that the county magistrate knows that the crops are not eaten by locusts, and that there are no locusts at all? 】

【Yes Master. 】

Xiao Yanbao was a little confused. Why did County Magistrate Yu do this and cut down all the good crops? These were all crops that were about to mature. Isn't this a waste of money?

Emperor Lan Gan suppressed the anger in his heart at this time, so as not to reveal that he could hear the conversation between Dahuang and his daughter.

"Yu County Magistrate, which citizen reported to you that the crops were eaten by locusts?" Emperor Lan asked.

Magistrate Yu hesitated and said: "Yes, many people went to the county government to report."

The anger in Emperor Lan Gan's eyes was about to burst out.

"It doesn't take a lot, just find the owner of this field."

Ling Su came over and picked up Magistrate Yu from the ground, "Let's go."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty doesn't know who owns this field." Magistrate Yu shouted.

"I don't know. Just go to the nearest Zhuangzi and ask." Ling Su said while dragging Magistrate Yu away.

Magistrate Yu: He has never discussed with Zhang Yuanwai what to do if the emperor asks.

Mainly because I didn't expect that the emperor and the little princess would come to the fields to check, and I didn't expect that the father-in-law beside the emperor would understand so much.

Also know that what locusts eat is different from what a knife cuts.

I thought they were all ignorant people and easy to fool, but now it’s hard to handle.

Before Ling Su dragged Magistrate Yu out of the field, a group of people came from a distance.

From the way they dress, you can tell they are farmers.

When he saw this group of people, the county magistrate didn't panic anymore.

It seems that Zhang Yuanwai has already arranged someone.

"Guard Ling, there's no need to look for him, he's here." Magistrate Yu stopped.

The leading villager saw someone in the field and ran over quickly.

Apparently he knew the county magistrate.
