Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh: Xi Jun buys it)
Hearing what the guard said, Lin Jie was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas fell to earth.
How dare you, a little guard, speak to this governor like this?
Well, although Zhechong Mansion is not under the jurisdiction of the governor, at least my official position is more than ten levels higher than yours, right?
Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?
When Lin Jie was about to get angry, Li Min stretched out his hand to stop him.
Li Min said calmly: "Who is your captain? Call him here!"
To be honest, this little guard actually had the courage to intercept him. Instead of being angry, Li Min was very surprised.
Because Zhechong Mansion was the name of the Military Mansion, the grassroots organization of the Mansion Military System in the Tang Dynasty.
The guards of Zhechong Mansion are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime.
As a result, soldiers lack necessary training and their combat effectiveness is often not very high.
But the feeling given to Li Min by this pair of guards was obviously different.
Moreover, these guards did not even show respect to the governor.
In other words, Lin Jie failed to control Zhe Chong Mansion in his own hands.
In this case, Li Min won't be afraid of using the army to cause chaos when he is desperate.
Not long after, Lieutenant Zhe Chong came back from his inspection. When he saw Li Min and others, he hurried forward and saluted: "The last general, Xi Junmai, has met the Governor and Governor Lin!"
Hearing the words of Captain Zhe Chong, Li Min's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Um?
This captain is actually Xi Junmai?
No wonder these guards behaved like this. They turned out to be Xi Junmai's subordinates, so it's not surprising.
In the original historical trajectory, this man was a fierce man who led 120 elite cavalry and dared to attack Tuyuhun's 10,000-strong army!
It was also able to severely damage the enemy army and kill the three brothers of King Xuan, Prime Minister of Tuyuhun.
There is only one record of Xi Junmai's deeds in the history books.
As for his previous deeds, not a word was mentioned.
What Li Min didn't expect was that this fierce general didn't expect to be here!
…
Seeing Xi Junmai, Lin Jie's face was ashen and he couldn't help scolding: "General Xi, your guards are just rude to the governor, but they are so rude to the governor! Who gave him the courage?
, making him dare to be so arrogant?"
Li Min waved his hand and said with a smile: "Prince Lin, I feel that General Xi's subordinates did the right thing. With the current military order, no one can be exempted. General Xi has taught well!"
Um?
Hearing Li Min's words, Lin Jie couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Xi Junmai, on the other hand, saluted Li Min and said: "General Xi Junmai, thank you for your understanding, Commander-in-Chief."
Li Min nodded and said: "General Xi, can I come in now?"
Xi Junmai couldn't help but said: "The general has already received the order. After the arrival of the governor, everything will be obeyed. The people under the general do not understand the situation and have obstructed the governor. Please forgive me."
Li Min laughed and said: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, it's okay not to mention this matter. By the way, now that the governor is here, you can leave."
Xi Junmai couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Grand Governor, Xiaohe Village, doesn't it need to be sealed off?"
Li Min nodded and said: "The strange disease that the people in Xiaohe Village are suffering from is not a plague. If it was a plague, it would have spread long ago. You have worked hard during this period, and now you can withdraw."
Xi Junmai nodded and immediately gathered his soldiers and prepared to evacuate.
Li Min, on the other hand, took Xue Rengui and others into Xiaohe Village.
There was deathly silence in Xiaohe Village.
The streets were empty, not a single person in sight.
If it weren't for the sound of dogs barking from time to time in people's homes, people might suspect that this is an empty village.
The blockade of nearly two months has caused the village to lose its due vitality.
Shaking his head, Li Min knocked on the door of a house in the village.
Not long after, a man inside asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Jie said loudly from behind: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is here, why don't you open the door quickly? His Highness is now the governor of Yizhou. He is here to treat your illness."
Squeak!
As soon as Lin Jue finished speaking, the wooden door opened from the inside.
"Caomin Qiao Qi, I have met His Highness the King of Shu. Your Highness, can you really cure the strange disease in our village?"
Li Min couldn't help but look at this Qiao Qi, and saw that this Qiao Qi was short, dark and thin.
The wrinkles on his forehead are criss-crossed and criss-crossed, making him look extremely aged.
The clothes on his body were covered with more than a dozen patches, and he had worn them for who knows how many years.
His hands were so nervous that he didn't know where to put them.
And Li Min saw that there was a large swelling on his neck, which looked extremely scary.
The governor, Lin Jie, was so frightened that he quietly took a few steps back.
Li Min couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Qiao Qi's condition.
"Yes, I am here this time just to treat you. Let's go to the room first, and I will check you first."
Qiao Qi suddenly said in surprise: "Your Highness, please come soon."
Qiao Qi's family only has three thatched houses.
Walking into the house, Li Min saw three children, big and small, standing in the house, and a woman sitting on the bed, covered with a tattered quilt.
Among these three children, the older girl is about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although she is extremely thin, she is somewhat pretty.
There was also a seven or eight-year-old boy and a toddler girl, both of whom had their butts bare.
These children and the woman on the bed have never left the village. Where have they seen so many outsiders?
Especially the group of people who are wearing official uniforms and look like high-ranking officials?
These children were so frightened that they hid by the bed and did not dare to look at anyone.
The woman on the bed also blushed and lowered her head tightly.
Qiao Qi quickly said: "This is His Highness the King of Shu. Your Highness the King of Shu has come to rescue us. Why don't you come over quickly? Have you seen His Highness the King of Shu?"
After Qiao Qi's instructions, several children came timidly and called out to His Highness timidly.
Qiao Qi pointed to the woman on the bed and said awkwardly: "Your Highness, this is the wife of a grassroots. She only has one pair of pants at home, so she can't come down to see His Highness. This, this..."
Li Min originally thought that the woman was paralyzed in bed, so she sat on the bed in broad daylight.
Unexpectedly, it was because there were no pants at home.
Look at the pants the girl is wearing. They are fat and big. I guess they only have one pair of pants, mother and daughter.
Unexpectedly, even during the Zhenguan period, the lives of the people of Yizhou would be so poor.
Li Min discovered that in this family, only Qiao Qi and his wife suffered from this strange disease.
But for the three children, this is not the case.
After seeing Qiao Qi's symptoms with his own eyes, Li Min confirmed his suspicion.
