Liu Mingju saw this, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again.
A servant came over with a tray and placed a cup of tea on the table next to Lin Xu.
Liu Mingju gently touched the armrest of the imperial chair and got straight to the point.
"Mr. Lin, as you know, many of our officers and soldiers are now suffering from serious diseases. Their skin is covered with ecchymosis, their spirits are listless, their bodies are weak, and it is difficult for them to even walk, let alone fight! Before, I have been
Famous doctors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were invited, but they couldn't even diagnose what kind of disease the soldiers were suffering from, let alone treat it!"
"I heard that Mr. Lin can treat this kind of disease and has cured many people. So I dare to ask Mr. Lin, what kind of disease is this?"
However, Lin Xu did not answer directly. Instead, he picked up the cup and drank tea, as if he didn't hear him.
After running around for most of the day, he was indeed thirsty, but of course, he was not thirsty to this extent.
In fact, he did this deliberately to show off the Governor-General.
Because he wanted to see if the Governor was really well-educated or was he just pretending!
If someone like this, who has been in a high position for a long time, wants to anger them, the easiest way is to challenge their majesty!
You’ll know once you try it!
Of course, he was not doing this for idleness. Once he really angered Liu Mingju, it would not be fun. If a powerful official like him wanted to kill him, it would be better than crushing an animal.
Ants are even more relaxed!
However, understanding Liu Mingju’s character is related to his next step and long-term plan!
Therefore, even if it takes huge risks, he must do it!
Yang Peng stood aside. Seeing Lin Xu's attitude, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. He was about to remind him, but was stopped by Liu Mingju.
After a while, Lin Xu slowly finished the cup of tea and put down the cup.
Liu Mingju always looked calm, neither anxious nor angry. When he saw Lin Xu drank all the water in the cup, he ordered his servants to refill Lin Xu's water.
Lin Xu saw this, and his favorable impression of Liu Mingju increased by three points!
As the saying goes: Take a look at one spot and you will know the whole leopard!
After these two small things, Lin Xu already had a rough understanding of Liu Mingju's character.
Something like this that provokes the majesty of a feudal official can be done once or twice, but doing it three times is too much!
Everything in the world is like this, too much is never enough!
Lin Xu understands this principle very well, so he accepts it as soon as possible.
"My Lord Governor, I'm really sorry. I've been traveling all day today and I'm really thirsty. I'm afraid I can't explain clearly, so I drank a cup of tea first. Please forgive me, Lord Governor."
Lin Xu first said some kind words to get both parties to step down.
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. I've been running around for several days, both by boat and on horseback. It's really hard work to treat these sick soldiers! Let's go to dinner first, and then Mr. Lin has a good night's rest.
Let’s talk about treatment tomorrow.”
After being left alone for a long time, Liu Mingju not only did not mean to blame, but his words were full of concern.
"No need, saving people is like putting out fires."
Lin Xu breathed out lightly and continued: "The diseases suffered by these soldiers are indeed very strange. They should not be recorded in medical books. Those famous doctors don't know what the diseases are, but it is normal. After summarizing, I will give this
