Chapter 525: Hospitality, Li Changan

Li Xin waited for five or six days in Fu County, but he didn't wait for anyone to come and find his trouble.

Not only was there no movement in Jiange, but there was no abnormal movement in the direction of Mianzhujin City. Even because Li Xin ordered that the people were not disturbed, some local people near Fucheng had no intention of moving.

On the seventh day after he occupied Fucheng, news came from Jiange that Ye Ming's troops fought with Jiange for a few days, and Li Xin then let go of his mind.

Ye Ming’s signal is very obvious, and Li Xin can understand it without any communication.

Ye Shaobao meant that as long as he was in Jiange for one day, no one would be able to interfere with Li Xin in Jiange.

Marquis Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, my senior brother is at least very reliable and will not sell his teammates.

It was expected that no one came to find trouble for him in Jiange, but strangely, no one came to find trouble for Li Xin in Jincheng and Mianzhu, which was a bit strange. You must know that Li Shen had made harsh words before leaving, and no matter what, he should have some reaction.

After thinking about it, Li Xin could only think that the general of the Zhu Kingdom did not know how many people he had and did not dare to act rashly.

But he was still not very relieved at this moment and did not dare to act rashly. After all, if he sent troops to attack Mianzhu, Li Shen sent someone to wait in Mianzhu. At that time, the whole market would be lost. At least the initiative in the southwest would be completely lost.

Anyway, Li Xin was not very anxious. No one came to ask for his troubles, so he was happy to stay in Fucheng.

Because Li Xin's troops did not disturb the people, they would even pay for the pigs from local people. Over time, the local gentry became more courageous. On the tenth day, several gentry members from Fu County found the former Fu County County where Li Xin temporarily lived and asked to see the chief general.

Originally, Li Xin was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and usually handed them over to Zhao Jia to receive and deal with them. But that day, he happened to be there. Zhao Jia also went to the army to count the specific list of deaths. Only Li Xin was left in the county government, so the Marquis of Jing'an waved his hand and asked these old men to wait in the side hall of the county government.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Li Xin, who was idle, walked to the side hall and sat down leisurely.

There were three gentry present, all of whom were fifty or sixty years old. These three people could be said to be the real people in Fu County.

In this era when the imperial power was not in the countryside, the county magistrate actually couldn't take care of too many things. The county magistrate was a stern who was sitting in the county magistrate's position, and he had to discuss with the gentry, otherwise nothing would be possible.

The unlucky county magistrate of Fu County was slaughtered by Li Xin's men as early as when Li Xin entered the city.

Seeing a young man in ordinary clothes walking in, the three gentry looked at each other. The three of them did not recognize Li Xin, and they were not sure who the army in Fu County that suddenly occupied was. Although they vaguely guessed that it might be the army of the court, they did not know who the head of this army was.

However, the situation was in the hands of others, and they did not dare to neglect them, so they could only stand up and salute Li Xin.

"Li Jie, Fu County, I have met Shangguan."

"Yang Zhu, Fu County, met Shangguan..."

“…”

Li Xin sat in the main seat and stood still. After the three of them bowed one after another, he looked at the first person leisurely and then smiled.

"A coincidence, we are still our own family."

Marquis Jing'an waved his hand lightly.

"Sit down and talk."

The three of them sat down tremblingly.

Li Xin took a sip of tea, then slowly raised his head and glanced at the three of them.

"When the general's troops came into the city, they did not disturb any household, nor did they plunder the property in the city. The three of them suddenly came to the door, wondering what was going on?"

The Li Jie, who had the same surname as Li Xin, was more courageous. He looked at Li Xin carefully, then gritted his teeth and asked, "It has been nearly ten days since your army entered the city, and the common people have not dared to disturb you. Today I dared to ask for a meeting. I wonder what the Shangguan is from?"

"So you don't know who I am."

Li Xin was surprised for a moment, then laughed in silence: "I am the general of the Imperial Army, Li Xin, is ordered by the king to fight against rebellion. All of the generals are king's troops."

"Although your Fu County has rebelled, the people in the city are innocent after all, so everything has been the same since they entered the city."

The three of them looked at each other, all of whom were shocked and quickly stood up and knelt in front of Li Xin.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Jing'an, the common people are rude..."

"My Lord Marquis has made it clear that the common people have never heard of rebellion or not. What the Pingnan Army in Fu County has nothing to do with us..."

Li Xin looked at the three old men with a smile.

"You really don't know?"

Li Shen began to publicize the deposed prince a year ago. Fucheng is in the hinterland of the southwest. Even if the people are not sure what is going on, how could these gentry not know? The reason why they say this is to clear up the responsibility.

That is, Li Xin, too lazy to kill people. If anyone in the capital captured Fucheng, all the people in Fucheng would become anti-civilians and could be killed and seized.

However, in Li Xin's opinion, the affairs of these politicians or conspirators should not be involved in the common people. So they are too lazy to care about anything with these people.

When the three gentry heard Li Xin ask this, they all looked nervous and dared not speak.

Li Xin put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at the three of them lightly.

"After saying that, come to find me, what's wrong?"

These three people are representatives of the local forces in Fu County. When they come to see their "crossing river dragon", it is impossible for them to say nothing about it.

The three of them were so scared by Li Xin's words that they were not very afraid to speak. In the end, it was Li Xin's own family who stood up hesitantly and bent down at Li Xin and said, "Marty, Xiaomin, and there is nothing to do..."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and frowned and said, "You guys tease me?"

This sentence was actually not very impressive when a young man said it, but with Li Xin's identity, it was very different. The three people, who were over 160 years old, fell to his knees on the ground and were afraid to speak.

"Speak something about it if you have something to do."

Li Xin frowned and said, "I am not an unreasonable person."

In the end, it was Li Xin's "self-employed" who spoke tremblingly.

“That’s it…”

"The city gate of Fu County has been closed for ten days, and there is not much grain stored in the city, so it is natural now. In another ten days and half a month, there will probably be no food. The three of us came here to ask the Marquis to open the city gate and let the family of our three families go to the granary outside the city to transport some grain in, otherwise the people in the city will go hungry..."

Generally, except for specific periods, local grain and rice are controlled by gentry and are responsible for the sale. The three people who came to Li Xin are the three largest grain households in Fu County. The three of them have granaries outside the city.

Because Li Xin did not disturb the people, they thought Li Xin was easy to talk to, so they came to see Li Xin today with the courage to see Li Xin.

If it were those arrogant generals, these landlords would not have time to hide, so how could they dare to come to their door?

But after hearing Li Xin's identity, the three of them were not very brave enough to say it. After being asked by Li Xin, they had to say it out.

Marquis Jing'an showed a smile on his face.

He suddenly became enthusiastic and stepped forward to help the three of them up in person.
