Matsuura Castle guards the Fuchu.

There was an old man of sixty or seventy years old kneeling in front of Fujiwara Shuxiong, his spirit was strong, his eyes were bright, as if he could see through all the things in the world, the tea cup in his hand was gently placed on his lips, and he blew on the end of the tea and said: "Fujiwara-kun, the focus of locust extermination is in Hizen Province, Chikuzen Province and Chikugo Province, as long as the locust eradication in these three places goes well, the extent of disasters in other parts of Saikaido will be greatly alleviated, so you must hurry up on this matter!" ”

The birthplace of the locust plague is also the place where the drought is most severe, and the old man in front of Fujiwara Shuxiong is Kibi Zhenbei, who immediately thought of a countermeasure after knowing about the locust plague, plus the method of exterminating locusts provided by Zhen Qian, how could Kibi Zhenbei, who was up and down in the sea, not understand what he was going to do.

After running to several places along the way, Kibi Jinbei returned to Hizen Province and was very concerned about the progress of the disaster relief and locust eradication in Hizen Province.

"Dazai Daer, this matter has been carried out again, the method of exterminating locusts has also made the officials go to the villages and townships to publicize everywhere, and the matter of purchasing locusts is also in progress, and now the news from all over the country shows that the enthusiasm of the people is very high, the work of exterminating locusts is progressing very smoothly, and the harm of this locust plague can be controlled to a minimum!" Fujiwara said with a sincere face.

Kibi Zhenbei nodded with satisfaction, the focus of locust extermination is not how to kill locusts, but to make people understand that locust extermination has nothing to do with gods and monsters, and to eliminate the fear in the hearts of the people, so as to smoothly promote the work of locust extermination.

"Excellent! Chikuzen and Chikugo are also promoting propaganda to exterminate locusts, and if something goes wrong in Hizen country, it will be difficult for the old man to explain! "Kibi Shinbei is here to sit in Hizen Province this time, and the success of Hizen Country's locust extermination is related to whether the entire Saikaido can successfully survive this locust plague, so Kibi Shinbei has to be cautious, "That's right! Zhen Qian can be in Songpu City, and the old man wants to visit? ”

After Kibi Zhenbei finished speaking, he found that Fujiwara Shuo looked at him with a constipated face, and said unhappily: "Fujiwara-kun, do you have anything to say?" ”

Fujiwara Brusho pretended to be indignant and said, "Hi! Dazai Daer didn't know that this Zhen Qian told me last time that he was going to return to Datang in the near future. I asked him why he was in such a hurry, and Dazai knew how he answered. ”

Kibi Zhenbei knew that there was something in Fujiwara's words, and he didn't bother to guess, "Let's hear it?" ”

"Zhen Qian said that he came to the Wa Kingdom this time, one is to send the Tang envoy back to China, and the other is to welcome the prince of the Wa State back to the Tang Dynasty to study, and now the first thing is done, but the second thing has not been answered by the Wa State for a long time, it can be seen that the Wa State court is perfunctory to him, and he is ready to return to China!"

Ji Bei Zhenbei listened to Fujiwara Shuxiong, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, Zhen Qian was right, the matter of the prince of the Wa Kingdom going to study in the Tang Dynasty was indeed a bit perfunctory.

In fact, Zhen Qian has not mentioned the matter of going to Kyoto to meet the emperor, which is already an insult to foreign envoys.

If you say it, the Wa Kingdom is really a little unkind!

Seeing that Kibi Zhenbei was silent and a little decadent, Fujiwara Shuxiong continued: "Originally, I was ready to persuade Zhen Qian, and asked Zhen Qian to stay and help with disaster relief in the friendship between the two countries, but Zhen Qian used the prince's study to threaten me, even if I agreed, I couldn't do it, and asked Dazai Daiji to persuade Zhen Qian to change his mind?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong said as if he was wronged, as if Zhen Qian was embarrassing himself, waiting for Kibi Zhenbei to make decisions for himself.

Kibi Zhenbei glanced at Fujiwara Shuxiong, and said in his heart: "This Fujiwara Shuxiong wants to shirk responsibility!" "But what Fujiwara Shuxiong said is not wrong, the matter of the prince of the Japanese kingdom studying is not something he can do, but if he doesn't come out of this matter, in case the disaster relief in Xikaido is not good, this responsibility can be pushed on himself.

This is a conspiracy, the other party has pushed the problem in front of him, and he can't do it if he doesn't take it!

Ji Bei Zhenbei said: "In that case, go and see Zhen Qian?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong commanded Kibi Zhenbei's army, and his heart was happy, didn't Kibi Zhenbei do the right thing with Fujiwara Nakamaro in the middle of the court? All right! The basin of this disaster relief will be deducted from your head, and when Kibi Shinbei's reputation is stinky, see what else you can earn with Fujiwara Nakamaro.

Others may not know that after returning from Kibi Shinbei, he was favored by Emperor Xiaoqian, and he had the power to control the power of the court with Fujiwara Nakamaro, and there were shadows of the other three families behind Kibi Shinbei, which is an unforgivable sin. To put it bluntly, Kibi Shinbei is a pawn of Emperor Xiaoqian to balance Fujiwara Nakamaro, and he can't pee in the same pot as Fujiwara's clan, if it weren't for the fear of causing the same enemy, Kibi Shinbei would have been played to death by Fujiwara Nakamaro.

As soon as Kibi Zhenbei was sent out of the gate, someone came to report: Ito, the official judge, asked to see him, Fujiwara Shuxiong was slightly stunned, and asked Ito to come to the main hall to talk.

Ji Bei Zhenbei came to the Drunken Immortal Building, found that Zhen Qian was not there, and after asking for a while, he knew that Zhen Qian had gone to the official office and had not returned, so he was a little puzzled, and continued to ask a few words, only then did he know what Zhen Qian was doing when he went to the official office.

Sent Tang to welcome and send the entourage to kill someone, this is a big deal, just now Fujiwara Shuxiong didn't even tell himself, Ji Bei Zhenbei was a little annoyed, so he was going to the official office to find Zhen Qian, but he bumped into Zhen Qian at the door.

When Ji Bei Zhenbei saw Zhen Qian's indifferent expression, his hanging heart relaxed, as long as the matter is not deadlocked, it will be easy to do, otherwise the relationship between the two countries will be damaged, and the Japanese people will no longer have to go to Datang to study.

"Zhen Lang! You went to the official office? ”

"Kibi-kun has just returned to the former country?" Ji Bei Zhenbei did not call Zhen Qian a welcome envoy, and Zhen Qian naturally would not become him the second Dazai, such a title conveyed an obscure intention, and the two of them tacitly knew it in their hearts.

"I just came back, I heard that Zhen Lang was going to return to Datang, so I came to see it, I never thought that something happened to you here, and I wanted to go to the official office to find you, but I didn't expect you to come back, tell the old man what happened?"

The two walked into the drunken fairy building, found a private room and sat down, made tea and said: "Thank you Ji Beijun for your concern, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings in this matter, all blame me for not being strict in control, there are a few entourages in the wine shop and people have an argument, I don't know how, one of the widows died after falling to the ground, I went to the official office for this matter, asked about the case, found that there are many suspicious points, please the official judge Ito also send Tang Ying to send the entourage to a clean house!" ”

Zhen Qian told the whole thing lightly, and did not say his guess, but just told Ji Bei Zhenbei that there were many doubts in this case, and he was waiting for the news of the verdict.
