However, whenever Li Mengyue arrives in a county town, she is welcomed by the local county magistrate and people.

Even this time, there was a special escort.

*

Qingshan Prefecture City.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in."

The person came in and knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and spoke.

"Sir, the locust swarm has been basically destroyed and no longer poses a threat."

"How much damage has been caused by this locust plague?"

"My Lord, the seven counties responded to the locust plague by using civilians and ducks to kill the locusts."

When Governor Song heard that the locust plague had hit and the losses in the seven counties were not too great, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that there was a flood in the south and that a large number of people had fled north, and the court had issued an order to stop them.

If the Qingshan Prefecture he manages were to be attacked by a locust plague and suffer heavy losses, he would not know how he would face the emperor's wrath.

Now that he knew the locust plague was being handled quite well, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

However, when he thought of the people who spread the rumors before, Prefect Song became gloomy again.

"Have you found the person who spread the locust rumor?"

"Sir, not yet, but this locust plague didn't cause much damage. It's related to a girl."

Hearing this, Prefect Song became interested.

"Oh, who is it?"

"A village girl named Li Mengyue from Xinghua Village, Qingshan Town, Wuning County."

"How dare you deceive me."

"Sir, how dare I say that? The information I've found is that it was indeed Li Mengyue who led the duck army to kill countless locusts, and then bought the locusts at a price of 100 yuan per pound."

"This guy is crazy, collecting locusts for a pound of money."

The people kneeling on the ground also had this thought, thinking that there must be something wrong with their brains, otherwise why would they spend money to collect useless locusts? Everyone knows that the locusts in the locust plague are poisonous.

When Prefect Song heard the words "a pound of gold", he started to have evil ideas in his mind.

Some time ago, the eldest prince sent someone over, saying that he wanted to take care of the officials in the court and wanted his aunt to provide some financial support.

His help will be indispensable in future success.

He wanted to give money, but he didn't have any.

Just when he was racking his brains over where to get the money, a village girl came and bought locusts at a high price.

But if you want to get the money from the village girl, you need to find a legitimate reason.

"Young Master!"

"Yeah, my dad's in there."

As he spoke, the man who was taken care of by the young master walked into the study.

When Song He saw his lazy son, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Son, come here, Daddy has something to tell you."

After a cup of tea, Song Guangqing asked the servant, "What does that village girl look like?"

"Master Wu, you are stunningly beautiful."

Song Guangqing's eyes suddenly lit up. Over the past few years, he had played with every pretty woman in the city.

Whether he likes it or not, he has the ability to bring people into his mansion and play with them however he wants. Even if the person dies, he won't take it to heart, because he has a father who is the prefect.

His mother was the eldest prince's aunt, and he was the eldest prince's cousin.

Not to mention in Qingshan Prefecture, even in the capital, there are plenty of people who give him some face.

But the consequence of his wanton toying is that there is no woman worth looking at in the capital city now.

Even if it was a young woman or a widow, as long as she was pretty, he would not be picky. However, a quarter of an hour ago, his men told him that they had not found one.
