Chapter 114: Eternal Destruction 2

Fortunately, Song Shicheng listened to the advice.

He took on such a hot potato, so of course he was extremely anxious.

So he resigned to Xiao Jingheng on the grounds of poor health, then hurried home to pack his bags and rushed to Henan with his disciples.

Xiao Fuzi was serving Song Zhao and Song Shicheng throughout the conversation today, so he heard it clearly.

He knew that Song Zhao had always been resentful of Song Shicheng for watching Bai being beaten to death by Jiang and doing nothing, so he felt that Song Zhao's willingness to help Song Shicheng this time was very unexpected.

He was thinking about this matter in his heart, and his face looked troubled.

When Song Zhao saw this, he asked him, "What are you thinking about? You even added incense outside."

Xiao Fuzi suddenly came to his senses, picked up the incense powder scattered beside the incense burner, and said:

"I was thinking, young master, you are really kind. The master and the eldest lady treated you so well in the past, and you were still willing to help them at the critical moment of life and death."

Hearing this, Song Zhao smiled coldly, "Of course I will help them. What's the point of killing the entire Ge family now? Even if that bastard Ge Zhongqi dies, Song Yue, the money-loser, will not die."

She took a silver pole and leisurely fiddled with the ashes in the incense burner, saying leisurely, "Aren't my elder sister and Ge Zhongqi in love and have been together since childhood, so she would not marry anyone but him? My elder sister and I are from the same family, so I should help her. How can a beloved wife not be buried with her husband when he dies?"

Song Zhao watched the dead ashes in the incense burner reignite under her provocation, so he picked up the teacup and poured all the cold tea into it.

"Squeak~~"

The ashes were extinguished, and wisps of smoke rose up, covering Song Zhao's uncertain face.

The corners of her lips curved up beautifully, and she smiled strangely.

"Shouldn't a family be neat and tidy?"

When Xiao Fuzi saw Song Zhao's expression, she couldn't help but shivered.

He didn't quite understand what Song Zhao meant, so he said, "My lord, I am stupid and don't understand what you are saying. The method you told me was clearly the method used in the past when the capital city dealt with the sparrow plague. Could there be any loopholes?"

Song Zhao sneered, "Most of the people in Kyoto are businessmen, and there are very few who are truly poor. And when the bird disaster hit Kyoto, it was already spring, and many people had their own work to do. Few people would catch Java sparrows for a penny, so less than 10,000 were caught, but the bird disaster was finally stopped."

She paused, raised her bright eyes and looked at Xiao Fuzi, "Let me ask you, what do you think will happen if this method is used in Henan?"

Xiao Fuzi held his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Most people in Henan are farmers who work hard in the fields, mainly engaged in farming, and few of them do business. Most of them don't have much money in their savings.

If they were asked to catch sparrows, they would certainly flock to them for one penny each. Besides, sparrows are easy to catch in winter, and you can catch a whole nest. Farmers don't farm in winter, and it's easy to make money, so they will definitely act collectively and catch all the sparrows. "

"That's right." Song Zhao nodded happily. "If father takes the method from Kyoto and replicates it in Henan, I guarantee that within half a month, all the Java sparrows in Henan will be caught. Let me ask you again, if all the Java sparrows are caught, will there be nothing left to eat in the rice?"

"Yes..." Xiao Fuzi agreed without thinking, but seeing the sinister smile on Song Zhao's face, he soon realized that something was wrong and said slowly:

"The sparrow eats rice, but it is also the natural enemy of locusts! If all the sparrows in Henan are really caught, the locusts will start to plague us in summer, which will be much more serious than the sparrows! If things go wrong, Henan will not be able to harvest a single grain this year!"

Song Zhao still maintained a calm smile, raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"So do you still think that my idea is a good one?"

Only then did Xiao Fuzi realize that her mistress's plot was so profound...

If Song Shicheng really asked the people in Henan to catch Java sparrows, there would definitely be a locust plague in the summer.

The entire Henan region was left with nothing. Not to mention the Ge family, even the Song family would be executed!

However, although revenge was achieved, Yudi accounted for one-third of the crops in the entire Qi Dynasty. If Yudi's harvest failed, Qi Dynasty would inevitably suffer a famine.

By then, there will be devastating loss of lives and starvation everywhere. It will be a disaster!

Xiao Fuzi couldn't blame Song Zhao for anything, so she could only say indirectly: "My Lord, this method is really great! If nothing is harvested in Yudi, the emperor will be furious, and the Duke of Huguo Mansion and the Ge family will have to pay the price for this. But... it will be hard for the people."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Song Zhao looked confident and said calmly:

"Once the noise gets out of hand, someone will naturally report it to the court. As long as the court uses the army in advance to capture an appropriate number of Java sparrows from other places and bring them to Henan, Henan will not suffer a loss in harvest. On the contrary, the reduction in the number of Java sparrows will increase grain production, and the people will be able to live a more prosperous life."

She glanced at the blue sky outside the window and said in a deep voice:

"I just want all those who have bullied my daughter and me to get the retribution they deserve. I have no grudges against the people of this world, and I will not harm any innocent life in order to take revenge on the wicked."

After hearing this, Xiao Fuzi realized that he was too narrow-minded.

He felt deeply guilty and bowed deeply to Song Zhao.

"My Lord, you have made a good plan and care about the world. I admire you!"

(Ps: Sister Song said: I want to harm the bitches in the harem, I want to kill the bastards in my mother's family, and I want to seek the welfare of the people of the world. If the dog emperor dares to provoke me in the future, I will ascend the throne to let him see.)
