Chapter 139: Money and Life
In a few moments, the ground was littered with corpses, and the dark red blood flowed almost half the street.
The people began to cry until they fainted, but the guards could not distract them to help them up.
Some of the guards were infected and were tearfully killed by their former colleagues.
Finally, the remaining frantic people inside seemed to have lost their energy, quieted down and fainted on the ground.
There are less than a hundred of the thousands of people on the seaside today.
Wang Shouming choked up a little, and asked the guards to tie them all up and lock them up in the county office, and in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, this street must be blocked during this time.
And the guards and the families of the people who died in this accident were given bereavement money, and they were properly settled.
Only then did he return to the county government with Wang Yuan.
Qingcheng is not far from Biansai, and within a few hours of returning to the house, Biansai's reply came.
Wang Shouming looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed more and more, "It turns out that Biansai has long been in such a situation." ”
Wang Yuan looked at him, "Then did they say how to treat such a people?" ”
Wang Shouming shook his head, "They also locked up the crazy soldiers and guarded them with heavy soldiers. ”
Wang Yuan asked again, "Then did they say that they would send troops to help us?" ”
Wang Shouming said: "They said that they would send some soldiers over in the afternoon to let us strengthen our vigilance, and also said that the first general had already gone to the Cold Moon Country to find a solution." ”
Wang Yuan sighed, "Now that the people of Liuzhou know about this, people are panicked for a while. Moreover, the people of Liuzhou rely on this sea to survive, if this sea cannot go, the life of the people of Liuzhou will be even more difficult. ”
Wang Shouming narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a fine light crossed his eyes, and he called his subordinates and asked, "Is Lord Qian okay?" ”
Mr. Qian was the little civil servant they saw when they went to the beach that day, dressed very luxuriously to supervise the salt.
Wang Yuan was a little confused, so the guard replied: "Back to my lordship, Lord Qian didn't go to the beach today, so he should stay in the mansion at this time." ”
Wang Shouming sneered, "Now that the people in the city are sad, they naturally need those rich and noble families to come out and help the people." ”
After that, he looked at Wang Yuan again, "Go and change into your official uniform, let's go to the Qian Mansion and walk around, and persuade our Lord Qian." ”
Although Wang Yuan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he still obediently went to change into an official uniform, and went to Qianfu in a sedan chair with Wang Shouming.
In Qian Fuzhong, Qian Dachun was entangled, he asked his wife to pack all the valuable things in the house into a package, and then paced back and forth in the room.
His wife is known for her fierceness, "Old immortal, what are you still struggling with, seeing that this Liuzhou is about to be invaded by monsters, do you still want to become a monster or be killed by those guards?" ”
Qian Dachun was scolded by his wife and shrunk his neck, "If we leave Liuzhou, we won't be able to get money from those salts in the future!" ”
His wife glared angrily, "If your life is gone, are you afraid that those riches will be gone?" My relatives in Qingcheng have all said that even now there are many soldiers in the barracks who are crazy! It's not like you didn't see when you went to the street today, how scary those monsters were, the guards couldn't kill them! We have few guards in Liuzhou, in case you can't see those monsters one day, you're still afraid that your life will be too good to live! ”
Qian Dachun was still hesitating, but he saw the people in the mansion running over in a panic, "My lord, I heard that our sea was sealed by Lord Wang, so how can we dry salt!" ”
"What?" Qian Dachun glared, and when Mrs. Qian heard this, she directly pinched the fat on Qian Dachun's body, "Now that the wealth is gone, what are you still doing in this city?" Why don't you run to the capital! You've done so much for the prime minister, and he must be able to take you in. ”
Qian Dachun knew that this was the only way to do now, so he asked his subordinates to prepare the car, and he and his wife went to pick up the two large boxes full of wealth he had collected over the years, and thought about fleeing quickly.
Who knows, from the gate of the Qian Mansion, an uninvited guest walked in.
"Lord Qian." Wang Shouming and Wang Yuan, who were carrying two guards, walked over, and the official uniforms they wore showed that their status was much higher than that of their own petty civil officials.
With a smile on his face, Wang Shouming asked, "What is Lord Qian going to do in such a hurry?" ”
Wang Shouming looked at the seemingly inconspicuous box in the hands of the two of them, and the subordinate who was obviously going to catch the car, and had a plan in his heart.
Qian Dachun tugged at the corners of his mouth, and smiled reluctantly, "My daughter-in-law misses her mother's house, and she said that she wants to go back to her mother's house in the capital together." ”
When Wang Shouming heard this, he seemed to be very understandable and nodded, "Also, now that Liuzhou is in trouble, it is naturally much safer to go back to his parents' home." ”
Qian Dachun's forehead fell with a big drop of sweat, "No, no, no, Liuzhou is in trouble, as an official in Liuzhou, I naturally live and die with Liuzhou, how can I leave by myself." ”
Qian Dachun's wife's fleshy face was also smiling at this time, "Yes, yes, hey, why are the two adults standing and talking at the door, hurry in and have a cup of tea and talk slowly." ”
The corners of Wang Shouming's mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, Qian Dachun hurriedly wanted to introduce the two of them into the door, and he wanted to hand over the box in his hand to the person next to him.
Seeing this, Wang Shouming's fingertips moved slightly, and a small pebble came out of his hand and hit Qian Dachun's hand, Qian Dachun's fingers hurt, and the box fell to the ground, and the box full of gold, silver and jewelry was also sprinkled in front of them.
Wang Yuan saw Wang Shouming's movements and understood what he meant, so he made a surprised look, "Ah, I didn't expect that Lord Qian's family property is quite rich, and this box of silver taels alone is far from being taken out by my county Chengtong Mansion." ”
Wang Shouming took over, "Isn't it, don't say it's you, even me, a second-grade official, I can't get these numbers in the house, I don't know where Lord Qian got all this money." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the box that the trembling Mrs. Qian was holding, and saw that it was indeed full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Qian Dachun couldn't even speak for a while, he knew that Wang Shouming was a celebrity around the prime minister, and these things he did could never let the prime minister know.
Wang Shouming saw that he couldn't say why, so he replied for him in a seemingly kind way: "I know, it must be Lord Qian who is an official and loves the people like a son, and the people are worried about Lord Qian's kindness, so they gave it to Lord Qian, Lord Qian, am I right?" ”
When Qian Dachun saw him say this, he thought that he didn't want to worry about him, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, Lord Mingjian." ”
Wang Shouming nodded and smiled again, "Since Lord Qian loves the people so much, he must know that the people of Liuzhou are in dire straits now, and his heart must be very distressed." ”
When Qian Dachun heard this, although he didn't know what he meant by the general words, he could only echo and say: "Yes, the lower officials only hate that they don't have some medical skills, and they can't solve problems for the people and share the worries of the adults." ”
Wang Shouming: "Then there is a way to do something for the people now, but Lord Qian is willing?" ”
Qian Dachun instinctively felt that he was going to say something bad, but now that it was difficult to ride a tiger, he could only nod, "If you can do something for the people, the lower officials will naturally die." ”
Wang Shouming waited for him to say, "Okay! Lord Qian is so innocent, which really makes Wang admire. Since Lord Qian has promised to scatter all his family wealth to compensate the people of Liuzhou, I naturally can't stop him, so when someone comes, he will first move the two boxes of silver and wealth and send them to the county office, waiting for me and Wang Xiancheng to go back and distribute them. ”
When Qian Dachun heard this, if he was struck by lightning, and saw that there were already guards who had been ordered to move his half-life savings, tears were about to come out in a hurry, and he hurriedly went up to protect him, "No!" No! ”
Wang Shouming raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Lord Qian is unwilling? Presumably, what Lord Qian said about loving the people like a son, and the heart of a child is all fake, so I have to write a good excerpt to tell the prime minister about the origin of all this money. ”
When Qian Dachun heard this, he already knew that Wang Shouming's words were waiting for him to take the bait, but now he has no choice, if he doesn't give him all the money as Wang Shouming said, if he really informs the prime minister, not to mention money at that time, his life may not be able to stay.
Qian Dachun could only let go of the hand that was protecting those boxes and let the guards move away.
Wang Shouming was not satisfied, and continued: "Looking at Lord Qian's expression, it seems that he is a little unhappy, alas, forget it, this money is still left to Lord Qian." ”
When Qian Dachun heard this, although he had already gritted his teeth in his heart, he could only squeeze out a "willing" smile on his face, "No, no, the lower officials can do their meager efforts for the people, which is what the lower officials should do." ”
Wang Shouming let him go, nodded with satisfaction, said "so very good", and returned to the county office with the guards and the two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
On the way back, Wang Yuan's expression couldn't hide his excitement, and his eyes when he looked at Wang Shouming were also full of admiration, and Wang Shouming, who was watching, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What, I'm exceptionally good-looking today?" Eyes can't leave me. ”
Wang Yuan: "Fuck you, I just found out that you still have this side, robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing the traitors, so unhappy!" ”
When Wang Shouming heard this, he raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, "Then what do you think I should look like?" Is it a nerd who can only be upright and will only report to the court or deal with it according to law? Or is it a villain who clings to the rebellious ministers and thieves for promotion? ”
Wang Yuan consciously ignored the latter sentence, but found the meaning of the previous sentence, "Why do I think you are talking about me in the previous sentence?" As he spoke, he came up unrelentingly and wanted to reason with Wang Shouming.
Wang Shouming only felt funny when he looked at him like this, and then said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter which side it is, the important thing is how to exchange the least effort for the best result." ”
Wang Yuan sounded a little lonely, "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this." ”
