To the west of Changping County, there was a small village. It was located in the outskirts of Mount Heng and was backed by the mountains. It was very remote. In the dilapidated village, there were few people. It was desolate and there was not much life.
Di Renjie wandered around the village and observed the people's feelings. In Big Willow Village, he found out the truth about the villagers 'riot and prison break. The money for consolation was swallowed up, the land of the people was occupied, and the letter was not submitted to the Yamen, but was thrown into prison by the governor Fang Qian.
One after another, Di Renjie's heart skipped a beat as he heard this. He left Great Willow Village and stayed in the house of Lu Dayou.
It was early in the morning, and the sun was rising slowly. There were already birds chirping outside the house. The cottage was very simple and crude. In the small courtyard, Hu Jinghui was fiddling with his fists and legs, stretching his muscles and bones.
As he moved, his gaze involuntarily turned to the west room, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Li Yuanfang was left behind by Di Renjie in Great Willow Village to take care of the old and weak villagers.
After walking around the deep mountains, he found a person who surprised him when he stayed in the village last night. The "Li Er" who had escaped from his hands in the barren mountain temple the night before was still breathing even though he was poisoned.
Hu Jinghui couldn't help but sigh at the Turkic Jili Khagan's great fortune. Di Renjie's medical skills were extremely profound, and he had managed to hang the Turkic Jili Khagan alive with a few needles.
Now, Hu Jinghui really wanted to finish this person off and eliminate the hidden danger. However, in front of Di Renjie, he did not dare to make any strange movements to avoid arousing suspicion.
In the west room, Di Renjie was still dressed in brocade clothes. He looked calm and was checking Li Er's pulse. The black and blue color on his face had faded a lot. His condition seemed to have stabilized. He let out a sigh of relief.
His gaze scrutinized Li Er. He had been suspicious since the first time he saw this person yesterday.
Deep in the mountains, a person who was deeply poisoned, the poison was still snake venom!
If he was bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains, the snake venom was too powerful.
Moreover, this person's identity was also suspicious. If he was a woodcutter, according to the villager Lu Dayou, the surrounding mountains and forests had long been sealed by the government. Moreover, they were intimidated by things like " ghost towns " and " malicious ghosts." Ordinary people would not dare to enter the mountains.
Looking at his robust physique, he didn't look like an ordinary woodcutter or hunter. In Di Renjie's eyes, the person on the bed was too suspicious.
There was also the tiger head and eagle tattoo on his forearm…
Di Renjie's frown deepened.
When they came out of the west room, they once again saw the scene of Lu Dayou's bare house. His sister was fiddling with some wild vegetables left over from yesterday for food. He couldn't help but sigh. The lives of the people of Youzhou were difficult. This Youzhou Provincial Governor Fang Qian deserved to be punished!
"Milord, we should return to the state capital!”Seeing Di Renjie leave the room, Hu Jinghui withdrew his fist and went forward to ask in a low voice.
The longer Di Renjie stayed with "Li Er", the more uneasy he felt. Now, he only wanted him to leave as soon as possible and spread the news that "Li Er" was here as soon as possible.
He was also afraid that Di Renjie would be suspicious. Di Pangpang was powerful, and he had experienced it all along the way.
"I haven't finished my business here yet!”Hearing this, he paused for a moment and raised his hand to point into the room.
Hu Jinghui didn't dare to show too much, only glancing inside and said,""You should have investigated the surrounding villages. If you want to relieve the people of their difficulties, you still need to go to the state city. Lu Dayou has gone to get some medicine. According to your instructions, it should be fine. You've already done your best. Why waste our time?”
"We have been in Youzhou for several days, but there is still no progress in the diplomatic mission case. The emperor only gave you three months, and this general is anxious!”Hu Jinghui scratched his head and revealed a slightly anxious expression.
Di Renjie smiled. There's no hurry!"
Looking to the east where the sun had already risen from the forest, Di Renjie said to Hu Jinghui,""Jinghui, take out the map!”
Hu Jinghui was a little puzzled,"What does Daren want to do?”
"Just take it!" Di Renjie pinched his beard and chuckled.
"Yes, sir!"
In the courtyard, Di Renjie pointed at the map of Youzhou and said to Hu Jinghui,""Jinghui, look, from here to the north, not far from the mountain, is the Ji Province!”
Frowning, Hu Jinghui looked at Di Renjie doubtfully, not knowing what this old man was planning.
"Dayou is out of the village to buy medicine. It should take a lot of time to go back and forth. Let's go out and take a walk around the Ji Prefecture!”Di Renjie said with a smile, his eyes full of meaning.
……
It was the afternoon, and the sun was scorching hot. The defense in front of the city gate was much tighter. A group of soldiers was checking the travelers entering and leaving the city, even though there were only a few merchants.
"The state capital is under martial law because the villagers are rioting. Why is this Ji Province under martial law? Could it be that there are enemies? However, I haven't heard about any foreign tribes attacking Youzhou Province. Or is there something else?" Di Renjie muttered as he looked at the scene below the city gate.
"Previously, I was too comfortable in Pengze County. My old legs haven't suffered like this in a long time!”Most of the roads from Little Lotus Seed Village to here were mountain roads, which had consumed a lot of physical strength. Fatty Di's old legs obviously couldn't take it anymore. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Hu Jinghui, who was beside him,"Jinghui, let's go and take a look!”
"Yes, sir!" Hu Jinghui revealed a smile." Milord, you came to Ji Prefecture for that County Governor Li Hao, right?!"”
Di Renjie smiled but didn't say anything.
There were no other pedestrians at the city gate. Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui stepped forward and immediately attracted the attention of the guards.
"Who are you?" The squad leader looked at the official pass in his hand and raised his head to ask. His gaze swept over Di and Hu.
He still used the excuse of a quack doctor. Facing Fatty Di's kind appearance, the squad leader nodded. His attention was on Hu Jinghui, and his gaze was somewhat unfriendly.
Hu Jinghui had a tall build. Although he was wearing casual clothes, the temperament he revealed was not like an ordinary person.
"What's in the bag?" "Take it out for inspection!" the squad leader said coldly.”
Inside the bag was the Emperor's edict and the document that proved Di Renjie's identity. Hu Jinghui naturally would not allow a small squad leader to inspect it.
"It's all soft stuff!" Di Renjie immediately smiled and said to Hu Jinghui,""Jinghui, we don't have any ulterior motives. If this general wants to check, let him check!”
As he spoke, he even secretly stuffed two pieces of loose silver into the squad leader's hand.
