He Cishi paused for a moment and couldn't help but wonder, "Which way did the Imperial Physician Zhou come from?"

As far as he knew, a section from Suzhou to Shazhou had been blocked by a group of bandits. Although they would not kill all the passers-by, they would have to leave a lot of money to pay for the passage.

And I haven’t heard of a large-scale bandit suppression in Suzhou recently. Didn’t they agree to get together after a while?

Manbao seemed to know what he was asking, and said: "We did not leave from Suzhou, but came from the desert."

But the desert is actually not safe. He Cishi wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he finally swallowed his words. They had arrived safely, and it was meaningless to talk about it. Maybe they were lucky?

But Mr. Zhuang saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but interjected and asked. In his opinion, it was no big deal to go out, especially when they were carrying a lot of luggage and looked like fat sheep at first glance.

You should try your best to get as much information as possible, otherwise who knows where and what might happen?

After asking, they found out how chaotic this place was in Xiazhou.

According to what Governor He said, people's hearts began to fluctuate from the north of Xiazhou, and the further west and north they went, the more such people and forces became.

Because these lands were successively conquered by the Jin Dynasty in more than ten years, and these places are vast and sparsely populated.

The land is really vast and sparsely populated. It's okay to walk along the official road. You may barely encounter a village after walking for two or three days. However, after leaving the official road, there is a large area of ​​deserted mountains and wild ridges.

Although there was cultivated land after Xiazhou came out, it was mostly grasslands and mountains. Many herdsmen lived in pursuit of water and grass, so the Yamen had very little control over these people.

Before the fall of Gaochang, people here had already had their thoughts wandering. After the fall of Gaochang, it shocked a group of people, so everyone reluctantly became honest.

The governors and generals in Liangzhou, Suzhou, Shazhou and other places took the opportunity to suppress many bandits. Among them, the governor He was the most successful because there was a garrison at Yumen Pass in Shazhou. He and General Meng not only suppressed the horse thieves in Suzhou

We defeated half of the bandits and drove the horse thieves outside the pass so far away that I didn't even know where they went before.

Originally, he should be able to be transferred back when his term expires in two years, but smallpox broke out.

The rumors were fierce before. First, Xiazhou was destroyed, and then patients flowed into the Central Plains. Smallpox also broke out in the capital, and the emperor died suddenly because of it...

Rumor has it that people with noses and eyes, not to mention ordinary people, even serious officials like them had a moment of suspicion because they were too far away from the capital.

Later, they began to quash the rumors, but unfortunately it was too difficult to refute the rumors, and because they were official, what they said seemed to be naturally questioned. In any case, there were fewer people who believed it than who doubted it.

So people who were already dishonest became even more dishonest.

In addition to ordinary people who worked hard and diligently, everyone else rushed to tell each other, and some people who had experienced banditry picked up the sword again, directly abandoned their children or took their children with them and ran to become bandits.

.

"Because of smallpox, the number of merchants who came and went has been reduced by nearly half. When these bandits appear again, this half has been reduced by half. Now there are not many merchants willing to enter and leave the customs."

Man Bao thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "What about Mr. You? Can he go back when the road is so dangerous?"

Only then did Governor He know that they were traveling with a merchant this time.

He cheered up and smiled with them: "If Mr. You is not in a hurry to leave, why not let him wait for another two months?"

He said: "That period happened to be the busiest time at Yumen Pass, and the most merchants came here. He happened to change things and go back."

It's not possible to replace things without the ability to keep them. Obviously, He Cishi was alluding to external security conditions.

Man Bao and the others naturally understood, so they nodded in agreement tacitly.

The few of them just exchanged pleasantries, and Governor He saw that it was almost time and took them to a restaurant to wait for General Meng.

General Meng looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and strong, with a strong aura all over his body. As soon as he entered the box, he felt very oppressed. Naturally, it was not because of his aura, after all, they were not uncommon either.

The imposing emperor who is 2.8 meters tall.

It's the pressure brought by height.

He was really very tall, the tallest person Man Bao had ever seen, so Man Bao's bright eyes swept across his body and focused on his knees, feeling that his height and physique should put too much pressure on his knees.

Very big.

General Meng paused when he saw Yin You standing inside, looked over and over with some uncertainty, frowned and asked: "What is the name of this young master?"

Yin You stepped forward and said with a salute: "Young man, Yin You, I have met Uncle Meng."

General Meng glared, "Is he really a boy from the Yin family?"

He looked Yin You up and down and saw that although he seemed a little short in stature, his complexion was not as pale and colorless as before.

"Are you recovered from your illness?"

Yin You smiled slightly and said, "It's getting better now. Thank you Uncle Meng for your concern."

General Meng's eyes fell on Zhou Man, "Did Mrs. Zhou cure you?"

Manbao paused for a moment and then said: "It's not completely cured yet."

Yin You's illness seems to have been cured by outsiders, but they know it. Yin You's illness is difficult to cure. Yin You himself knows that, but his mental illness has improved a lot, and his physical illness has improved a lot.

The disease was well cured, and now he looked almost like a normal person.

Uninformed outsiders would only think that he was sicker than the average person, and it was not a serious problem.

But General Meng had also seen Yin He before. He had not returned to the capital for many years, but the last time he went back, he happened to encounter Yin He who fell ill. At that time, the Yin family had prepared a new coffin, and the mourning hall was full.

The arrangements were made, and the Yin family even considered marrying Yin Li a daughter-in-law to celebrate the occasion.

As a result, before the selection process began, Dr. Lao Tan pulled the person back from the gate of hell again.

At that time, he took a look at the child, and all he could remember was that he was a small child lying under the quilt. His face was pale and there was no color at all, and he spoke very quietly. He was afraid that if he said one more word, he would die.

Over the years, General Meng still knew something about Yin You's condition from the steward who went back to deliver Boxing gifts, but he was either not in good health or in poor health. The former indicated that his condition had not worsened, while the latter indicated that he was dying again.

General Meng looked at Yin Yue and then at Zhou Man, his attitude became much better.

At first, he was a little skeptical when he saw that the imperial doctor who came here was so young, but if he could treat Yin You like this, he must be very capable.
