A guard on the other side of the suspension bridge cursed loudly, and then shouted loudly, "Brother, listen carefully, the suspension bridge cannot be lowered. Once the mobs swarm up, the suspension bridge cannot be lifted up, and the mobs swarm into the city.
That's it for going up to Wancheng. I'll send a sampan here to ferry you over!"
Hearing this, Yu Qing looked left and right, put away the banknotes in his hand, suddenly jumped into the air, and jumped into the nearby crowd with his sword. The scared crowd dispersed.
Yu Qing didn't do anything to them. What he wanted was the tree they used to sit on. He kicked the tree away with his kick. The tree entered the water and slid to the other side like a dragon crossing the river. Yu Qing, who was carrying a big bag, also flew away.
He got up and landed on a tree. He took advantage of the force and sank. He quickly rose into the air again and landed on the ground. He had reached the other side.
A group of soldiers immediately surrounded him with swords and guns, but the guard was quite upright and waved his men away. He stepped forward and looked at Yu Qing, who was covered in blood. "Who are you? You slaughtered the victims in public, and you dare to barge in here without permission."
, do you know that if you are investigated, you will not be able to bear the consequences?"
Yu Qing was already a little red-eyed and refused to accept this trick. "It doesn't matter who I am. Put down the suspension bridge and put the victims I brought in!" He grabbed a handful of banknotes from his bag and said, "Ask you
According to the rules, five taels of silver note per person!"
The guard said: "I told you that once the suspension bridge is lowered, the victims will definitely rush forward..."
Yu Qing interrupted: "I will guard the bridge, and I will not spare any trespassers!"
The guard looked at the blood-stained sword in his hand and believed that he had this ability. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a banknote to check its authenticity before returning it and asked: "How many people did you bring?"
Yu Qing: "Thousands of people."
Guard: "Okay, for the sake of your eagerness to save people, I will trust you for once. But I have to say something ugly beforehand. Once trouble occurs, don't blame the ruthless archers on my city. Any trespassers will be shot with random arrows."
!”
"It's up to you!" Yu Qing dropped the words and turned back. This time he didn't take the waterway again, but rushed straight to the suspension bridge that slanted into the night sky. He walked quickly on the steep slope and climbed to the top easily. At one end of the suspension bridge, it reached the sky.
He jumped into the air and landed on the other side of the river.
After landing, all they saw was a pool of blood on the ground. In just a short while, the dozens of piled up corpses were dragged to nowhere, and the air was filled with the perverted smell of blood.
Yu Qing didn't think too much and shouted to summon the people who came with him to come forward.
He never thought that he was a good person. However, since he had promised to send those victims to Shangwan City, he had also made a lot of money from these victims, and he had finally brought them to the city, he would not easily do so.
give up.
Once the money is in place, if things don't go well, it will be a bit unjustifiable.
He still has the credibility to do things with money.
Familiar faces, people who had supported each other along the way, slowly gathered in front of Yu Qing again.
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered at this time, and there was a sudden commotion among the victims.
Yu Qing waved the bloody sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "Those who trespass will die!"
The commotion turned into fear and anxiety and subsided quite a bit.
When the bridge came to a stop, a group of men and horses rushed over, carrying horses one after another. Soon the suspension bridge was blocked into only two paths that could only allow one person to cross. The soldiers' swords and guns were in a defensive posture.
Obviously, the defenders were still prepared to guard against the influx of refugees.
The guard general came over, jumped on a horse-rejecting post, and shouted: "Hold five taels of silver notes for permission to enter the city!" At the same time, he raised his chin to Yu Qing, indicating that it was time to start.
The victims also looked at the city gate, and saw that the heavy and thick city gate had slowly opened, and they could gradually see the situation in the city, which was the hope of life.
Yu Qing withdrew his gaze from the city, pointed his sword at the young couple in the crowd, and motioned for them to come forward.
After the couple arrived, Yu Qing took out two bundles of silver notes, one bundle worth one thousand taels, and gave one bundle to each of them. He asked the couple to stand at an entrance and hand out money to the victims one by one as they passed by.
Send five taels.
Fortunately, he exchanged a large amount of change banknotes this time.
This was a huge amount of trust, and the couple naturally obeyed.
Yu Qing, on the other hand, stood at the forefront, guarding the front with a sword to intimidate. He waved his sword to signal those who were allowed to go to the bridge.
Finally seeing the hope of life, everyone who passed by Yu Qing could not help but bow, put their hands together, or say thank you, and some even knelt down and kowtowed.
For example, the boy who begged Yu Qing for an extra piece of cake to save his mother, when he helped his mother pass by Yu Qing, he knelt down and kowtowed several times.
Since then, there have been more and more imitators, but this slows down the speed too much. Yu Qing became impatient and shouted: "Whoever continues to be verbose, don't go in!"
This guy who was prone to killing people spoke, and no one dared to delay any longer. They just bowed quickly as they passed by, said thank you, and then hurried to the young couple to collect the money.
Under the watchful eyes of armed soldiers, the victims who received the banknotes passed with the banknotes in their hands to prove that they had money and that they entered the city legally. Don't stop me!
And as soon as they entered the city, almost everyone didn't cry, and some even burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly.
Facing the lights of thousands of houses in the city, it was almost impossible to believe that it was real. It was like a dream. Many people did not feel like a human being again until this moment.
After that, they all did the same thing, took the banknotes to buy food, and had a good meal like a human being...
On the other side of the suspension bridge, the two thousand taels of silver notes were quickly distributed, and Yu Qing threw another bundle to each of the couple.
Another two thousand taels are shot, keep giving out!
The guards on the suspension bridge looked at each other in confusion from time to time, and they all realized from the refugees' thanksgiving that the murderer had nothing to do with these refugees and was simply saving people with his own money.
The guards, who had been immersed in a state of confusion recently, finally smelled a breath of fresh air.
However, two thousand taels were still not enough, and soon they were all distributed.
Yu Qing threw out two more bundles, and again!
Six thousand taels of silver notes have already been spent.
But it's still not enough.
Throw out two bundles of silver notes again.
After almost all the eight thousand taels were distributed, Yu Qing noticed something was wrong. He felt that the people passing by were not only unfamiliar, but also looked a little evasive.
He didn't say anything and continued to wave his sword to signal the people in line in front of him to pass one after another.
Don't talk about him, the young couple also realized something was wrong.
They were the most familiar among the thousands of people in the same batch. They felt that their group had finished entering, and they felt that the people who came in later were not from their group and that other people had sneaked in.
But after much hesitation, they said nothing more except continuing to issue banknotes.
The person who paid the money remained silent and acted like a fool.
The person who handed out the money remained silent and pretended to be confused.
The fishermen in troubled waters kept silent and infiltrated one by one.
After eight thousand taels were handed out, Yu Qing threw out two more bundles of money and continued to give out!
He actually knew it well, and was prepared to spend 10,000 taels. If he could save one more person, it would be counted as one. If he could earn 80,000 taels, that would be enough.
However, the refugees who continued to line up were eerily quiet and extremely well-behaved. They seemed to have even controlled their breathing, fearing that a bad look would make others think something was wrong and that they would be kicked out of the line.
There was no arguing, no snatching, or even any confusion.
These are disaster victims, these are refugees, these are hungry people, this group of people in rags worse than beggars, at this time, they condensed into an unimaginable picture.
Especially for those who have witnessed the horrific sight of hungry people, the scene in front of them was a huge shock to Yu Qing's soul.
So are the city gate guards like this.
So everyone was very quiet and cooperated in every aspect, hoping that the victims could enter the city one by one as soon as possible.
This unimaginable orderly silence made Yu Qing not sure how to make the discordant termination move.
After finishing ten thousand taels, his teeth were almost broken, and he uncontrollably reached into his bag, took out two more bundles of money, threw them out, and continued to hand out.
He took a look at the number of people at the scene and estimated that after giving out all the change he had exchanged, they would all go into the city.
So he lowered his bottom line and gave out all the change. At worst, he would make less money.
The guard who had been standing quietly on the horse-rejecting post, who had been condescending, also noticed that something was obviously wrong. Not only did a thousand people enter the city, but two thousand people could not stop him. Look at that guy's big bag of silver.
If this trend continues, it will not work if there are so many refugees suddenly influxing into the city.
He immediately turned around, stepped directly on a row of horse-proof stakes and walked across the suspension bridge. After jumping down and landing, he called two men over and whispered: "You go talk to the people of the four major families and tell them about the situation here.
Let’s talk about it and ask if it’s okay to let the victims keep pouring in like this.”
The two men nodded and ran away quickly.
The guard watched them off, then looked back at the place where the money was distributed, and sighed helplessly. He couldn't afford to offend the four major families, and he also wanted to survive.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the two men came back and said: "It was said over there that since disaster laws have been made, if the victims can come up with money, they will naturally act in accordance with the laws. It is said to be a rescue operation.
People, if you can take out money, just put it in!"
The guard nodded. It seemed that the four major families were confident that they would be able to handle this situation, so he felt relieved. He immediately ran to the bridge and went to the front line again.
But the two subordinates started to murmur.
"It seems that the four major families have enough food on hand, otherwise they would not dare to let so many victims into their lairs."
"You also know that this is my hometown. You also don't think about it. Shangwan Prefecture is the radiation center of northern Zhaozhou, and Shangwan City is the center of the entire Shangwan Prefecture. The food supply of more than a dozen counties around this city alone
, usually the four major families have Shangwan City as their distribution center.
I heard that when the people were asked to relocate and each person was given ten taels of silver, the four major families thought that the officials were going to screw up the matter, so they had already made an emergency purchase of large quantities of food to stockpile them.
It is said that the Chen family alone has added 60,000 dans of grain in advance, and the other three families will not be able to save much. It is estimated that the four major families have saved at least 200,000 dans of grain in total. Not to mention the few people outside, the entire nearby
If all the hundreds of thousands of victims in the area come in, the four major families will be able to survive the disaster."
"Mom, let's borrow some of the grain first and use it as a cushion, so that so many people don't starve to death! The only thing the government will pay back to them later is that they have backgrounds, so the government dares to rely on them?"
"You are overthinking. They want to take advantage of the sharp rise in food prices to make a fortune. How can the government give them repayment at such a high price? There is no way to explain it to the court."
