Chapter 707: I Really Have No Ideas
Early the next morning, the Jia family grain store delivered the news, saying that a batch of grain was being transported.
However, some of the victims seemed to know that there was food coming, and they were rushing to and fro in droves.
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, there were only two people who could do this, either King Ning or Jiang Yuancheng.
"Yuanhan, you hand over the matter to Ming Xuan on the master's side, and you will personally go to King Ning's side to see if there is any movement on his side?"
Jiang Yuanhan immediately followed and asked, "What about you?" β
"I'll go to the disaster relief site to take a look, and the green pottery should have almost checked the situation." Wen Qingzhu stood up, shouted Beidou, and left after a few words.
Looking at her back slowly disappearing, Jiang Yuanhan turned around and asked Wen Mingxuan, "What did you say to your sister yesterday?" β
Wen Mingxuan's expression was calm: "Your Highness thinks, what else can I say?" β
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes darkened, he no longer dwelled on this topic, and handed over the things on the master's side to Wen Mingxuan one by one.
At the southern gate of the city, an inn on the street has been temporarily rented.
Now it is managed by the people of the yamen, and now it is the time for breakfast, and the victims of the disaster who have entered the city have lined up in a long line to receive today's breakfast.
A bowl of gruel with a handful of pickles.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the mouth of the alley in the distance, looking at the crowded group of people over there, most of them were unclothed and their faces were extremely bad.
Maybe there were too many people gathered together, and although the weather was cold, most of them looked like they could bear it.
After a while, the sound of green pottery came from behind the alley.
"Your Excellency!"
Wen Qingzhu turned her head and found that she had also changed into men's clothes, and her little face was thin and pointed.
She went up and shook the green pottery's hand, and found that it was cold.
At that time, a look of pity appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "It's been hard these days. β
Green Tao pointed ahead: "It's not hard, adults come with me." β
The two of them walked all the way forward, turned a corner, and entered the house through the back door of the inn.
When he arrived on the second floor, Lu Tao handed a stack of rosters to Wen Qingzhu: "Adults can take a look, this is the situation these days." β
Wen Qingzhu took it and took a look, and with the cooperation of the Cannes camp, Green Tao recorded the information of all the victims.
A total of 1,335 victims entered the city.
So far, 360 people have found jobs, and although they don't make much money, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Seventy-one other women and children were sold into slavery and were guaranteed to live.
In the end, there were four or five hundred people, under the arrangement of the yamen, who began to clean the streets and repair the walls of the yamen, and they could eat brown rice for lunch three times a day.
The remaining 400 people don't want to do anything, and they regularly receive gruel here at this disaster relief site twice a day.
After putting down the booklet, Wen Qingzhu raised his head and asked, "The rest of these people who don't want to work, aren't they making trouble?" β
"Of course it's a mess!" Green Tao had a headache when she thought of this, but she quickly said, "Fortunately, the eldest brother is very experienced in dealing with these scoundrels, there are people arranged by him, and the first batch of troublemakers caught by the adults before, they don't dare to go too far." β
"Brother Yu? But Yu Fan? Wen Qingzhu looked at Lu Tao in surprise, when did she have such a good relationship with Yu Fan?
Lu Tao hurriedly explained: "Yes, don't think too much about it, my lord, Brother Yu is a good person, and he also has a fiancΓ©e." β
"Oh." Wen Qingzhu laughed, "I didn't say that I asked so much. β
"Miss! Don't tease me! "Green pottery is very helpless.
Then, Wen Qingzhu walked to the window and looked downstairs.
I found that some people were still asking when the yamen would reassign work.
Most of them were in a hurry, and left with a disappointed face after asking.
After watching it for a long time, Wen Qingzhu found that there was not a slightly younger woman in it.
"Green Tao, among the more than 1,300 people, have all the women been sold?"
"Well, there were some people who didn't want to sell it, but after the people who sold their wives got the food, they started to fight the wives and daughters of other disaster victims, and Brother Yu helped me many times, but we can't keep an eye on them all the time, so some of the remaining people still sold their wives and daughters, at least they don't have to worry about being insulted."
When Green Tao said these words, his face was full of solemnity, and there was some self-reproach.
She'd tried to figure it out before, but it didn't work.
"Is that so?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at the gruel received by the victims, and it seemed that he had to reduce the amount of rice used to cook the porridge.
At least not to be full and think about anything else.
After reading the situation in the city, Wen Qingzhu went to the city wall again.
Looking down from above, under the wall, there are corpses piled up horizontally, most of them unrecognizable.
There were even many people whose clothes were stripped of themselves, and the tragic situation was shocking to watch.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and closed his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although she had already gotten the news, seeing such a tragic situation with her own eyes, she felt that blindly closing it was definitely not a solution.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the chief guard guarding the city: "How has it been in the past two days?" β
"In the past few days, more and more people have come over, and every morning and evening when the shift is changed, the victims will find a way to climb the wall to come in, but these corpses are placed below, and they don't dare to rush over at will."
"So what was going on that day?" Wen Qingzhu's expression was serious, this method of using people to build a human flesh ladder was not something that ordinary victims could think of.
The chief guard thought about it for a moment, and his face was a little unbearable.
But he quickly recalled the events of that day.
In the evening, the victims came one after another, and they did not dare to stop people casually.
Just let them line up, check their identities and directions, and let them go in one by one.
Seeing that it was almost dark, the line was getting longer and longer, and the guards guarding the city gate had to change shifts.
The team couldn't move for a long time, and the people behind were also a little anxious. Hot search
But he didn't want King Ning's people to come back from outside the city, so he rode directly on a horse and forcibly broke through, directly hitting the two guards who were blocking the road.
In this way, a gap was formed, and someone in the back saw this situation and shouted loudly: "Maybe no one will be let in tomorrow!" Let's rush in first! β
When one person moved, the others began to panic, and everyone no longer obeyed the order, and began to rush inside.
Where can the guards at the door stop thousands of victims.
The crowd was surging, pushing the guards inside, and the people behind were getting more and more panicked, and there were more and more people.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the upper floor of the city saw that the situation was wrong and came down early.
directly two blades, cut off the arms of two people on the spot, and at the same time sent someone to forcibly close the door.
This temporarily stopped the chaos.
When the sky was dark, the people under the city walls were getting bigger and bigger, and everyone was crying and frightened, and some people were talking loudly.
Half an hour later, a large crowd suddenly came outside, and heard that the city gate had been suddenly closed.
Everyone didn't know what they had heard, and they started looking for people to try to build a human ladder.
One team is doing it, and the rest of the victims want to live, and many are starting to follow suit.
The soldiers guarding the gate on the tower of the city felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to the big camp to invite someone over.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, no one succeeded at all.
On the contrary, many people were injured one after another.
Five or six men failed again, and there was a lot of noise below, and suddenly someone stepped on their bodies and climbed up the wall.
Victims flocked to the scene, and a bizarre stampede began.
About two or three hundred people were involved in the wall climb, and suddenly one of them actually climbed the wall.
The soldiers couldn't drive people down, and more and more people began to pour in, but death began to spread, and miserable cries for help began to come and go.
Finally someone noticed that something was wrong and started shouting, "You guys climb up!" It's going to die! β
But there were still people rushing over, and King Ning's people came first, and when they saw this situation, they directly shot the victims.
This caused the soldiers to be angry, and they quarreled with King Ning.
More and more people died, and the piles of corpses got higher and higher.
A few decades ago, Cannes was a small city, and its walls were more than five feet high.
Someone found a hill of corpses piled up, giving them a chance, and it was surging more and more.
Someone began to climb up continuously, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Not long after, King Ning personally rushed over and led people to directly kill the victims.
Under the light of the fire, it almost splashed, and the corpses and heads kept rolling down.
That's how the crazy victims were stopped.
Later, Yu Fan rushed to guard it in person, removed the pile of corpses, and removed half of the corpses, which calmed down the victims.
At dawn, corpses were strewn under the city walls.
After listening to the words of the chief guard, Wen Qingzhu keenly felt that something was wrong.
"Did you catch the guy who came up in the first place?"
The chief guard was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head.
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "That person is really gone!" β
She turned her head to look under the city wall and calculated the height, if the human body was erected according to a certain number of people, it was not impossible to climb the wall.
Even if it was just from the relay of the head of the guard, Wen Qingzhu could still clearly see that there were indeed people among the victims who were doing something.
King Ning's disposition was very decisive, which avoided a greater disaster.
If she were here, I'm afraid she would do the same.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Fan's voice suddenly came from beside him: "My lord, Miss Ye." β
Wen Qingzhu turned his head to see that Yu Fan was bringing people over, and there were two people who looked like bookkeepers.
"They are?"
Yu Fan immediately explained: "They came to roughly estimate the victims outside the city, and the data we have obtained so far seems to have come over to about 50,000 people. β
Wen Qingzhu looked at the two people, holding the booklet in one hand and the victims outside the city tower with the other, counting them.
She looked back with some confusion: "How did you estimate it?" β
Yu Fan didn't know what to say: "This ......"
The green pottery next to him immediately came over and helped Yu Fan explain: "This is a sampling method, the victims like to act together, groups of people are different, if you talk in detail, they have their own set of calculations, and they may have to talk for a long time." β
"Forget it over there." Wen Qingzhu didn't plan to dwell on this issue for too long.
Yu Fan arched his hand and led the two people to start calculating.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them concentrating on calculating, especially Yu Fan who was still pointing beside him, and seemed to know a lot about these things.
"Green Tao, has this Yu Fan's identity been investigated?" Wen Qingzhu really felt strange, how could such a talent be discovered at this time?
Lu Tao understood what she meant, thought for a while and said: "In fact, King Rui also has suspicions, and is still digging deep into Yu Fan's origins, but his origin is very clear, but his experience is relatively unique, he did not join the army at the beginning, but planned to take a scientific examination, but a few years ago, adults also knew that the imperial examination was a situation." β
Wen Qingzhu sighed slightly: "Then he is also a talent who was delayed by the previous imperial examination?" β
"Well, so to speak." Green Tao responded.
Hearing her trusting tone, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but stare at the green pottery carefully.
Is Green Tao really not thinking about Fan?
"Little-grown-up!" Green Tao was so anxious that he didn't know where to start.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Forget it, I won't tease you, the news from the grain store should also come back." β
