Zhao Qi frowned when he heard this, they were discussing important matters related to the fate of the country, how could they have time to deal with the Jia family's mess.

He easily guessed Jia Jue's reason for coming, it was nothing more than wanting to intercede for Jia Rong and Ningguo Mansion.

"I have no time to spare, just let him go back." He waved his hand.

Liu Tian hurried out of the hall when he heard the words, but came back to report to Zhao Qi after a while:

"Your Majesty, Jia Jue said that there is something important to report, and there is no delay."

These words made Zhao Qi frowned again, he was a little impatient, no matter how important things were, could there be important national affairs?

But Jia Jue saved the queen after all, he thought for a while and said, "Biography."

Liu Tian hurried out, but after a while, he brought Jia Jue into the hall.

"Jia Jue, what's the matter with you? If it's about your Jia family, then you don't need to mention it." Zhao Qi asked Jia Jue, there was a big disagreement, and he rushed Jia Jue away.

Jia Jue saluted him first, and then said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the grasslanders are here for the locust plague."

Zhao Qi glanced at him in surprise, he thought Jia Jue was here for Jia Rong's affairs, but he didn't expect that he came for the plague of locusts.

"I've heard a lot about the method of exterminating locusts. If you have the heart, you can do it. You can study well to prepare for Enke." He said lightly.

Jia Jue came because of the locust plague, and there is a high probability that he came up with some methods to exterminate the locusts, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have already thought of countless methods, but none of them worked. Can Jia Jue alone be stronger than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?

Therefore, Zhao Qi didn't intend to listen to him, and planned to send him away directly.

But Jia Jue did not leave, but continued to ask, "I wonder if the plague of locusts has ever been wiped out?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, why don't you back down?" Yan Jin shouted at Jia Jue.

In his opinion, the meaning of Zhao Qi's words was already very clear, but Jia Jue was still asking this and that.

Although the others didn't speak, they had the same meaning in their eyes.

Jia Jue ignored Yan Jin, but said to Zhao Qi: "Your Majesty, if the locust plague is not eliminated, the grassroots people have a way to eliminate the locust plague."

Zhao Qi glanced at him: "Smoky, there is no need to talk about the method of beating and burying."

Jia Jue shook his head: "It's not about these, it's about killing locusts with sound."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment when they heard the words, and no one thought that he would come up with such an idea.

"Ignorant child, you are talking nonsense! Why do you have to play a song for the locusts to kill the locusts?" Yan Jin scolded loudly after hearing the words.

Zhou Ping also shook his head: "If you use this method to kill locusts, it would be ridiculous."

The other court chiefs shook their heads unanimously when they heard the words, and played a song among the locusts that covered the sky and the sun. This scene is ridiculous even thinking about it.

Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue in disappointment. He originally thought that although Jia Jue's method might not be useful, it was at least feasible, but now it seems that his so-called method is so stupid.

In the eyes of everyone, Jia Jue looked at Yan Jin: "May I ask what is the name of this old man?"

"Old man Yan Jin, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts." Yan Jin snorted softly.

"So it's Master Yan, I'm sorry." Jia Jue looked at him and smiled softly, "Since Master Yan is so sure that I'm talking nonsense, I wonder if you would like to bet with me?"

"Only you?" Yan Jin sneered, "Why do you bet with me?"

Jia Jue unfolded the folding fan with a "swish", and pointed to the clothes on his body: "Just rely on this imperial fan and bullfighting uniform. If I lose, I will give this folding fan and bullfighting clothing to your lord."

These words made everyone stunned, these two things are a great honor, Jia Jue actually took them as a bet, and it was still in front of Zhao Qi, if he lost, then he would have committed a serious crime, Yu How can a gift be humiliated?

He was almost betting against Yan Jin with his wealth and life.

Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue with anger and curiosity in his eyes, why did Jia Jue dare to bet like this?

Yan Jin looked at Zhao Qi and saw that he had no objection, so Jia Jue asked coldly: "Then what if the old man loses?"

Jia Jue smiled lightly: "Your Excellency, you can do whatever you want."

Yan Jin snorted coldly: "If the old man loses, I will personally come to your door to apologize to you."

Are you kidding me, will he lose?

Chapter 149

night.

Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu Xiaoyuan.

At this time, although all the female family members of the Jia family were present, the venue was completely silent, and the only sound was sobbing from time to time.

Jia Rong was confiscated and exiled, and Ningguo Mansion was confiscated, which made all the female relatives mourn.

And Jiamu cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen.

The Ningguo Mansion was gone, and the Jia family was defeated in her hands, which dealt a huge blow to her.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Jue?" You asked, wiping away tears.

Ningguo Mansion was raided, so she had to temporarily move to Rongguo Mansion with her two younger sisters. At this time, she deeply hated her stupidity. If she had listened to Jia Jue's words earlier, she would not be homeless now.

The eyes of all the girls showed anticipation and worry. Jia Jue went to the palace, but he didn't know what the final result would be.

"Old lady, ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong." Suddenly, a woman ran in in a panic.

The faces of all the girls were frightened when they heard the words, and they were already like frightened birds at this moment.

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia asked tremblingly.

The mother-in-law quickly said: "Everyone who left the mansion was beaten. It is said that the Zhuangzi and the shop at home were smashed."

Jia's mother was full of depression and pain when she heard the words. She did not expect that this matter would spread so quickly. Now Jia Rong's story is well known in the streets and alleys, and the reputation of Jia's mansion has also plummeted. For a while, the Jia family turned into street rats that everyone shouted and beaten.

"Stay at home first, don't go out if you have nothing to do." She said in a sad voice.

The mother-in-law took the order.

After a while, she suddenly came back, but this time it was not bad news:

"Master Zheng is back!"

Hearing this voice, all the girls stood up together and looked towards the door.

In addition to Jia Jue's visit to the palace, Jia Zheng also visited relatives and old friends.

Under the gazes of the women, Jia Zheng walked into the hall with a slightly gloomy expression.

When all the girls saw it, their hearts sank. Jia Mu asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed deeply: "There is nothing to be done."

He went to many places today, however, either he couldn't see anyone, or he said he couldn't help.

This let him know that this matter has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, then asked quickly, "Where's Brother Jue?"

Jia Jue has now become their only hope.

Hearing her mention of Jia Jue, Jia Zheng's face showed deep disappointment and worry: "At this moment, he must be teaching officials and craftsmen how to make bagpipes."

The bagpipe is what Jia Jue said is the key tool for killing locusts with sound. According to him, after blowing it, it can kill locusts.

Just now, he visited his superior, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

From his mouth, he got a news that shocked him inexplicably:

Jia Jue made a bet with Yan Jin, a university scholar, using the royal fan and bullfighting clothes as bets, saying that he could kill locusts with sound.

When he heard the news, he even thought he heard it wrong.

Exterminate locusts?Does this have anything to do with Jia Jue?

Even if you worry about the country and the people, but what is it to kill locusts with sound?

Is this really the idea of ​​a wit?

You're just talking nonsense in front of the emperor and all the great scholars, but you even used your imperial fan and bullfighting clothes as bets.

What are you trying to do?Do you still think the family is not unlucky enough?

Seeing his expression, the girls hurriedly asked.

Jia Zhengchang sighed, and the matter was revealed.

All the girls were stunned, Jia Jue's actions exceeded their expectations.

Even the girls who trusted Jia Jue the most showed surprise on their faces, and they couldn't figure out what Jia Jue was doing.

"What the hell is he doing! Can you kill locusts by playing the flute? Is this a fairy sound?" Jiamu asked excitedly.

If Jia Jue exported the imperial fan and bullfighting clothes, the Jia family would be completely ruined.

It is not just the holy family that is lost, even the emperor will hate them because of this.

Her words made the hall silent for a while, only Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth. She apologized, gave the maid, and gave the money, but she ended up with such a result. If she had known this, she shouldn't have done it at all. Go beg him!

Blind her 2 taels of silver for nothing!

The more Jia's mother thought about it, the angrier she became, she pinned all her hopes on Jia Jue, and now she got such a result, she rolled her eyes in rage, and finally passed out.

There was a sudden commotion in the hall.

Qin Keqing, Jia Yuanchun, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and other girls who were close to Jia Jue all showed extremely worried expressions on their faces.

The old lady was pissed off, and Jia Jue was in a dire situation.

……

late at night.

Jia Jue returned to Linglong Xiaozhu. Qingwen, who was on duty at night, saw him and said quickly:

"Third Master, the old lady is dizzy."

Jia Jue nodded: "I went just now, it is said that I woke up, but she refused to see me."

"Third Master, they say you..." Qingwen hesitated to speak.

Jia Jue smiled: "But you said I acted recklessly, arrogantly, and self-righteous?"

Qingwen nodded slightly.
