Chapter 186 Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
[He also heard the news that Jinzhou was about to suffer a severe drought. If there were no property, he would let the people exchange the food they had stored. One pill of medicine could exchange for their surplus food for a year. ]
[Now it was winter, their property was gone, and their food was also handed over. In order to survive, they could only come to the city for help. ]
[However, among them, there were naturally people who did not exchange for the antidote and contracted the epidemic. The disease spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Seeing this situation, Liu Zhijie did not dare to let them into the city. ] [
If someone sneaked into the city, he would torture them, or cut off the person's flesh and blood one by one, or peel off the skin, and then hang the body on the city gate to serve as a warning to others. 】
【All the soldiers were standing on the city wall. With their skills, it was impossible for them to avoid it. After several times, everyone was afraid. Even if the city gate was wide open, they did not dare to step in. 】
Listening to Jiang Zhiyu's description, Xu Yaowen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his eyes were red.
When he asked someone to bring the medicine back, he had already instructed that only one pill of this antidote was needed, and people would not be infected with the plague in the future!
Liu Zhijie!
The soldiers did not dare to leave the city. Seeing that they had not taken any action for such a long time, they could not help but urge them: "Mr. Prefect? The inspector has already known the news of your return, and has prepared good wine and good food in the mansion, waiting to welcome you and the prime minister."
Xu Yaowen's eyes were cold: "Good wine and good food...ha..."
He sneered repeatedly.
The officers and soldiers knew they had spoken out of turn, and hurriedly tried to make up for it: "It was all the surplus food that the inspector had stored before. You have been away from Jinzhou for a few days, so you probably didn't know that Jinzhou is now short of food. Although the inspector wants to help them, he is powerless."
Xu Yaowen did not answer, but patted the driver's shoulder and motioned him to go into the city.
It was not a good idea to dawdle at the gate. The most urgent thing was to go into the city first. There should be some surplus food in my house, so I took it out first to deal with the emergency.
Seeing the carriage heading into the city, the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. When the carriage came in and was about to close the city gate, it was stopped by Xu Yaowen.
"The city gates don't need to be closed. Send a few people to follow me and go to my house to get some food, and make some porridge to serve in front of the city gates."
The officers and soldiers were stunned: "This..."
Giving porridge is a small matter, but giving porridge to these people...
The officers and soldiers couldn't help but shudder.
Xu Yaowen's eyes were sharp, his nose was slightly wrinkled, and he was a little dissatisfied and impatient: "What's wrong?"
The officers and soldiers didn't answer or move.
Xu Yaowen was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Zhiyu: "Third uncle, since the inspector has been waiting, why don't we go see the inspector first."
[Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! Let me beat his dog head first! ]
Xu Yaowen frowned, pursed his lips and didn't say anything. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the corner of the curtain that Jiang Zhiyu opened and saw He Yanting sitting in the carriage. They couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this the Prime Minister?
Really... young.
...
It took a long time for their carriage to pass by before Jiang Zhaorong's carriage finally arrived. After seeing another carriage coming, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but frown.
What day is it today? Why are you all running here?
He stepped forward to stop the carriage: "Stop! Who are you?!"
The servant drove the car: "How dare you! The prime minister came to Jinzhou in person. Why don't you send someone to lead the way to see the inspector!"
The officers and soldiers were full of questions.
How come, another prime minister came?
...
The difference between the inside and outside of Jinzhou can be said to be like heaven and earth. Although it is not as wealthy as Shengjing, it can be said that people live a happy life and have a comfortable leisure time.
The carriage sped all the way and headed straight for the inspector's mansion.
Before reaching the patrol gate, they saw Liu Zhijie waiting in front of the mansion. Even with their toes, they knew that he was here to welcome the prime minister.
Xu Yaowen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What a pity, the prime minister was not among them.
The day before yesterday, Jiang Zhaorong, who had been following them, changed his route and went somewhere unknown. At this moment, it was not known whether he could reach Jinzhou.
The carriage stopped slowly, and Liu Zhijie's smiling voice rang out outside: "Prime Minister, I didn't know you would come so soon. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope the prime minister will not blame me."
Xu Yaowen opened the curtain and got out of the car. Liu Zhijie glanced at him and looked away coldly.
Serious matters may spread slowly, but gossip and anecdotes are always like wings. Once they happen, they can spread tens of thousands of miles.
But as the story spreads, it may be exaggerated.
Just like the version Liu Zhijie heard, Xu Youran was divorced by Jiang Zhaorong.
When the two were husband and wife, Xu Yaowen was demoted here, and no matter how he suppressed him, the prime minister never took action. Now that Xu Youran has become a divorced wife, it is even more impossible for the prime minister to treat Xu Yaowen differently.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhijie's eyes looked at the carriage even more scorching.
He just got two beauties in his mansion, and he hasn't touched them yet. If he can catch the prime minister's eye, then his meteoric rise to the top will be just around the corner.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and what came into view was a hand as white as solidified jade. Liu Zhijie was stunned.
This prime minister came to Jinzhou with a woman by his side?
Look at this hand, it's not big.
Before he could form any intimate thoughts in his mind, Jiang Zhiyu had already lifted the curtain.
After seeing clearly, Liu Zhijie: "..."
"Mr. He?!"
He had met He Yanting before when he went to Beijing.
Thinking of the emperor's favor for He Yanting, Liu Zhijie dared not neglect him.
"Sir, the refugees outside are really pitiful. I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that you have surplus food stored at home. Why not give porridge to those in front of the city gate to alleviate their suffering from hunger and cold?"
Liu Zhijie looked at Jiang Zhiyu. He did not equate her with the nobles in the capital in his memory. He was not sure of her identity and did not dare to neglect her.
"Your Excellency does not know that although I have some surplus food at home, it can only solve the urgent problem temporarily..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Zhiyu interrupted him directly: "Then I'll trouble you, Patrolman. The Prime Minister is right behind us. If the Prime Minister sees the scene outside the city, I wonder if he will punish you for dereliction of duty?"
Liu Zhijie paused: "Your Excellency is right. I will ask someone to open the warehouse and put out the grain. Thank you for your reminder. Who are you?"
He signaled to the servant standing aside with his eyes, and the servant hurried into the mansion.
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled: "It's not worth mentioning. It's really cold outside. Patrolman..."
Liu Zhijie suddenly realized: "Come in quickly."
[I'll find out where he puts the grain. I have to tell my third uncle to hold him back. 】
Just as she was about to move, she saw Xu Yaowen and Liu Zhijie chatting.
Because he wanted to get Jiang Zhiyu's identity from Xu Yaowen, Liu Zhijie's attitude was much better when he was in front of the door.
Jiang Zhiyu swallowed the words on her lips.
【As expected of my uncle, he is really sensible.】
