Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth: vicious means
It seems that I have to make a decision early!
This time, the reason why Li Min came to Shu was because he and Qiwang of the fifth surname joined forces to make a plan.
The key to this game is the epidemic, which forced Li Shimin to send Li Min.
Before Li Min came, Lin Jie had confidence and self-confidence. After Li Min came, he could play with him and applaud him.
But after the King of Shu arrived, Lin Jie's first attack ended in complete defeat.
And the defeat was so frustrating!
This opponent is a fierce tiger!
It must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise, it will definitely die in the tiger's mouth!
This King of Shu must be going to the epidemic area tomorrow, right?
If this is the case, then use tricks in the epidemic area to make him suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Lin Jie couldn't help but send someone to invite his chief minister, Chu Xiaotian.
Not long after, Chu Xiaotian hurried over, saluted Lin Jie first and said: "Prince Lin, you are looking for me."
Lin Jie couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Chang Shi Chu, why should we be like this between you and me? Come on, please sit down!"
"In this way, the King of Shu will definitely go to Xiaohe Village tomorrow. You go to find the Zhao family overnight and order them to do this. If this matter is left to others to handle, I won't worry at this time, so I can only work hard for Chief Chu.
Let’s take a trip!”
Chu Xiaotian said gratefully: "It is Xianguan's great fortune to be favored by Governor Lin! Governor Lin can rest assured, I promise that nothing will go wrong in this matter. If Governor Lin has no other instructions, I will
The officer will take care of it now."
Lin Jue stood up and patted Chu Xiaotian on the shoulder and said: "Go, be more careful, I'll wait for your good news!"
Chu Xiaotian walked out of the Governor's Mansion respectfully, but he couldn't help but have a look of intolerance on his face.
Governor Lin is a lunatic!
…
On the second day, Li Min came to the Governor's Mansion.
In fact, in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, the governor usually also served as the governor.
There will also be a governor's office, which can be merged with the local official system, or it can have two sets of administrative teams.
The governor's office is the superior department of state officials.
However, Li Min has just arrived now, and originally the prince was the governor from afar and would not take up the post in person.
The Yizhou government did not expect that Li Min would actually take office, so there was no governor's office for the time being.
Moreover, although Li Min is Lin Jie's boss.
However, the power of the governor at the beginning was not as great as that of the military governor later, and the governor did not uphold the moral integrity.
Therefore, the relationship between Li Min and Lin Jie is actually a bit awkward.
Of course, at least the two of them are still very harmonious on the surface.
No, Lin Jue, who usually doesn't come to the government office until five o'clock in the morning, or even doesn't come at all, arrived early that day.
After seeing Li Min arriving, he hurried in and held a jade box in his hand.
The other officials in the governor's office all looked at each other in shock after seeing this scene.
Could it be that their governor was giving a gift to the governor?
Is it really good to be so direct?
…
After entering the room, Lin Jie respectfully handed the jade box to Li Min with both hands, and then said: "Grand Governor, this is your official seal, please accept it!"
Li Min opened it face to face and found that there was indeed an official seal inside.
Li Min took out the official seal and looked at it carefully. Yes, it was the official seal he had lost.
Li Min smiled slightly, put the official seal on the table, patted Lin Jue's shoulder and said: "Prince Lin, you took good care of the official seal this time. This is a great contribution!"
Lin Jie quickly said humbly: "The governor takes the lead in putting out the fire. This spirit is worthy of admiration and learning from the lower officials. As for the lower officials, there is no credit for it. At most, it is just a little hard work!"
Li Min laughed loudly and said: "Prince Lin, you are terrible, but I am very optimistic about you! By the way, you and I will go to the epidemic area later. I want to conduct an on-site inspection to see what the situation is."
"Yes, I'll go get ready now!"
Not long after, Lin Jie led a group of government officials to lead the way, leading Shu King Li Min to the epidemic area.
The epidemic area is mainly concentrated in one village, called Xiaohe Village.
Xiaohe Village is about twenty miles south of Yizhou City. The distance is not too far, but because of the road, they had to walk for a full hour before they arrived.
Before he arrived at Xiaohe Village, Li Min heard people shouting in front of him, which seemed to be a mess.
Li Min couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering what happened at the scene.
Not long after, they arrived outside Xiaohe Village and saw clearly everything that happened at the scene.
The entire Xiaohe Village was surrounded by guards, and people in the village were strictly prohibited from going out.
The vegetables that the village needs will be delivered by soldiers.
Now, in addition to these guards, there are thousands of villagers at the scene.
These villagers, each holding a large armful of firewood, were having a fierce argument with the guards, and there was a possibility of conflict at any time.
Seeing this scene, Li Min couldn't help but turn his head and take a deep look at Lin Jue beside him.
Lin Jie quickly explained: "The Governor, I don't know what happened. This is all my negligence. I will go and ask about the situation."
After saying that, Lin Jie strode forward and yelled: "Shut up, everyone! What happened?"
At this time, the leader of the guards came forward and reported: "Report to Governor Lin that these villagers from Zhaojia Village and nearby villages are going to set fire to Xiahe Village. If we hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid that the entire Xiahe Village would have been burned to the ground."
Already."
What?
After hearing the news, Lin Zhi couldn't help being shocked and angry. He couldn't help but asked sharply: "People from Zhaojia Village, who is the one who is taking the lead in making trouble? Why did they set fire to Xiahe Village? This is a village with hundreds of people.
The name of the person, do you want to be beheaded?"
At this time, an old man with white hair and beard stood up and said: "Prefect Lin, this little old man is Zhao Fugui, the Li Zheng of Zhaojia Village."
Lin Jie angrily scolded: "Who gave you the courage to set fire to the village? Do you want to rebel?"
Hearing Lin Jue's words, Zhao Fugui couldn't help but said excitedly: "Prince Lin, we are not rebelling. Don't dare to say such nonsense. Setting fire to the village is an instruction from the gods! Now the villagers of Xiahe Village,
If you offend the Gu God, you will suffer from strange diseases because you are punished by the Gu God."
"Just last night, the gods appeared and said that Xiaohe Village must be burned down in order to cleanse them of their sins! Otherwise, the Gu God will blame them and spread the plague, and all the people in Yizhou will suffer, Lin
Governor!"
"For the sake of the people of Yizhou, we have to set fire to Xiaohe Village! Governor Lin, if you want to survive, you must burn down Xiaohe Village. Today, no one can stop us!"
