Chapter 114: Freedom from Old Life
The currency of the Great Shun Dynasty was based on silver, and the silver and copper coin markets were popular, and the paper money was said to have been printed only in the Jianghuai generation of money, which showed the prosperity of the Huai Dynasty.
To the Shun Dynasty, the mining of silver ore has become a batch and large-scale, showing a relative pattern of cheap silver and expensive copper, the official price of silver to copper is one or two to 600 copper coins, the actual price has reached below 500. The people paid the copper official price in silver, and the difference was coveted by the local officials.
A family of ten with three generations living together has less than two taels of silver for a year. For example, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion can take out a few hundred taels of silver every month to give monthly money to men who have no livelihood, and there are not a few in the capital. Even if Liu Yu and his wife took out more than 400 taels of silver a month, it would take more than two years to save enough money to redeem themselves without eating or drinking, and I am afraid that Liu Yue would have been tempered into a savage in the bandits' den long ago.
Liu Yu suddenly felt that the future was bleak and silent, and the good time was gone, and he would either fall into the grass or die in the wilderness in the future. The smug laughter of the bandits also became harsh.
The qi and blood all over his body were sealed by a finger on the woman's neck, and he couldn't struggle even if he wanted to. Sitting still is the most painful torment, especially for Liu Yu, who has had the experience of being kidnapped by Liu Liniang, even if he dies, he doesn't want to suffer the torment of losing his freedom again.
Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu are both martial artists, they wanted to fight with brute force, but they were knocked to the ground by one palm, Xu Xuanzhu was isolated, her martial arts were too far from that woman, even if she came to rescue, she would send a sheep into the tiger's mouth. But Xu Xuanzhu still raised his sword to attack without hesitation, the woman parried with a sword in her right hand, and she dodged freely with Liu Yu in her left arm. On the contrary, she herself has hung up the lottery.
Liu Yu couldn't move. But the feeling is still there. When the woman walked around with him under her armpits, in addition to the pain of his legs rubbing the ground, the softness of the woman's ribs could be clearly felt on the elbow of the right arm.
Liu Yu's mind was suddenly enveloped by a huge mixture of fear and anger, and he only listened to "Click! With a bang, his arm seemed to be broken by him, and an elbow hit the woman's armpit, and the woman was wandering under Xu Xuanzhu's crazy sword move, but she didn't expect that the man who had no ability to resist at all would actually break through the limitations of his body and attack her weakness. This is both a woman's shame and the external valve of the practitioner, this elbow made her strength limited, and the fingers on Liu Yu's neck were released.
"Poof!"
Xu Xuanzhu took advantage of the situation and stabbed the woman in the chest with a sword, this was not the end, Liu Yue, who had blood at the corner of his mouth, broke free, with the cruel light of a vicious beast in his eyes, and waved his fist with a hideous face, and punched the woman in the face with all his life's strength. Even though the woman's face was wrapped in several layers of black veil, she was still knocked off by Liu Yu's punch. The man flew three or four meters away, and the long sword in his hand fell off. "Wow!" A mouthful of blood spat on the ground, and there was a tooth in it.
Everything happened too suddenly, the tide of the battle turned in an instant, and even the people in the fierce ghost village didn't expect that Liu Yuben had no power to resist but could suddenly attack, and it was too late to come to help.
Gasping and standing up, Liu Yue, who came back to his senses, was shocked that he could burst out with energy that he didn't even expect, and it was not only a legend to kill the master with a random punch, but a martial arts master would be beaten all over the ground by him.
The woman's strength was damaged, Xu Xuanzhu still did not give her a chance to breathe, and raised his sword again, but the other party was a master after all, and a short defeat did not mean that he would be arrested. The woman stood firm without saying a word, no longer fighting, jumped high with both feet on the ground, and performed a "light skill" that Liu Yu had never seen, stepping on the wall with one foot, and the other foot had stepped on the three-meter-high wall, and the figure disappeared into the night.
"Don't be in charge, you go first, brothers will avenge you!"
The people of the Huining Dart Bureau were still trying their best to rescue Ma Dai, but at this time, they may have no power to return to the sky, and shouted and pounced on the bandits in the fierce ghost village. The masters invited by the fierce ghost village are all broken, their own strength is weak, but the Huining Dart Bureau is a mourning soldier who is not afraid of death, and more importantly, the pair of generals and couples with outrageous martial arts have no opponents, and it is inevitable to join forces with the people of the Huining Dart Bureau. All kinds of factors made them unwilling to fight again, so they jumped up the wall with each other's help and jumped out of the courtyard.
"Husband."
Xu Xuanzhu experienced the happiness of being lost for the first time, and rushed over to hug Liu Yu, Liu Yue could feel Xu Xuanzhu's attachment to him, and wanted to hug her tightly, but the right arm that was ruthless just now did not obey the call at the moment, and he couldn't even move below the elbow except for trembling, and the whole hand didn't seem to be his own.
"Madame, you ...... You let go, my hand ......"
Xu Xuanzhu held Liu Yu with one hand and held up his arm with concern, and Liu Yu immediately gritted his teeth in pain. Only then did she realize that Liu Yu's outburst just now had sequelae, and her face was extremely unbearable.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, maybe it's too hard. Just get a doctor and take a look. ”
Liu Yu comforted Xu Xuanzhu, his heart was extremely beating, and he couldn't remember how he rushed away from his body just now. If he is really disabled, or his right hand is abolished, it is no different from half a crippled person. In the future, it will become a little white face of a woman who eats and drinks.
Putting the injured left arm against his chest, Liu Yu walked to Ma Dai, who was lying on the ground, and only heard Song Dart holding Ma Dai's body and crying: "Young master, it is difficult to walk outside, you left at a young age, how can we explain to the old master when we go back?" ”
Ma Dai's wound was still bleeding, indicating that his heartbeat had not stopped, Liu Yu squatted down and touched his pulse, although it was faint but not stopped.
"People are not dead, why are you crying?" Liu Yu asked.
"But the few people in charge don't pant anymore."
Feelings in the past few years are to rely on probing breath to determine the life and death of people, Liu Yu stretched out his left hand and pressed hard in Ma Dai's people, Ma Dai "cough!" He breathed his breath again.
The people of the Huining Dart Bureau were very surprised, and called a few "less masters", and Ma Dai was not very sober. Liu Yuzhi said that Ma Dai was still in a semi-coma at this time, and a large amount of blood loss led to shock.
The other guards each helped each other over, and Lu Chu'er's injury looked the most serious, but when she came, the arm that had been injured by the woman just now twisted around and moved freely. In this battle, except for Ma Dai, Liu Yu was the most seriously injured.
"Flying disaster."
Liu Yu and the others returned to the courtyard where they stayed in the merchant hall, found cold water to wake up the guards who had drunk the ecstasy soup, and found someone to inform the official office.
Everyone else is fine, except for Liu Yu's arm, the doctor frowned and shook his head after diagnosis, saying that he would go back to prescribe a prescription, Liu Yu said angrily: "Doctor, you just said can it be cured?" ”
"Forgive...... The villain can't do anything, and the general's tendon has nothing to do, but ...... The villain didn't know why the general's lower arm couldn't move. ”
General Zheng Erpin was attacked in Tangwu County, and the Tangwu County Commander was duty-bound, for fear of being held accountable, he invited all the doctors in the city overnight, but none of the doctors found out why.
Su Zhe said indifferently: "General Liu's injury is unknown, but it is not in the way if you want to come and hurry, you can enter Fangzhou City in two days, and it is not too late to find a famous doctor in Fangzhou for diagnosis and treatment at that time." It's not early, the king goes back to rest first, and the matter of suppressing bandits still needs to be taken to heart by the county lieutenant. ”
Looking at Su Zhe's distant back, Liu Yu was angry in his heart, it seems that this Su Zhe not only has a strange temper, but also has no kindness, he went out with him on a business trip, his subordinates were injured, and he didn't even express any sympathy and condolences when he became a boss, he only knew that he was urging him to hurry up and work on an errand.
And Su Yan was serving medicine and tea on the side. When he returned to Chang'an City, Su Yan would marry Xiaoyu, and he gradually learned to be considerate of people.
"Husband, Tangwu County is a small county town, most of them are quacks, and there will be many famous doctors and doctors in the county town." Xu Xuanzhu wiped away his tears, his face was pale, "It will be cured." ”
Liu Yu's face was very relaxed, but he asked people to fix his arm as if it was a fracture, and find a cloth to hang around his neck. This kind of rest and rushing are not wrong, but it is a little unstable to ride a horse and only hold the reins with his left arm, and he needs to let Xu Xuanzhu feed him when eating.
The rain is intermittent, and the road is flat and peaceful, but Liu Yu always feels that he is being followed, but he can't find anyone to follow.
Two days later, the group entered the first stop of this grain payment, Fangzhou County, Huaibei Province. As soon as he entered the city and had not yet set up a place to live, Su Zhe had to rush to Fangzhou County to discuss the matter of paying grain, Su Yan had no choice but to follow, Hu Xuan and Liu Ting, as Su Yan's staff, naturally had to accompany him, and Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu also had to escort him. Xu Xuanzhu and Qu Zhu stayed behind and accompanied the injured Liu Yu to the city to visit the doctor.
In the past two days, Liu Yu's right arm has been shaking more and more, and the entire elbow is red and swollen.
When Liu Yu and the others returned to the post house, Su Zhe and the others had not yet returned from the official office. But on the front and back feet, Su Yan walked into the door with two small bamboo cages.
"Master, take a look, these two crickets are the king of the stove, and the good crickets that are found in thousands of miles are only three taels of silver, which is really worth it. If you get Chang'an back, you can earn at least ten times as much silver. Su Yan excitedly waved to Liu Yue.
Liu Yu was already unhappy because of the injury in his arm, and at this time, his face sank and asked, "Is the discussion over?" What about the King of Chu? ”
"My Seventh Emperor Brother is still talking to that Yu Taishou in the Taishou Mansion, I don't understand the nonsense he said, so let Hu Xuan and them stay and listen, and go back and tell the master that you are done."
Liu Yu was speechless. This is the difference between being a person and being an official, as soon as Su Yan enters Fangzhou City, he can find a place to sell cheap crickets, but he is indifferent to the business of paying grain.
"Since you went to the market for a trip, what else do you gain in addition to the cheap crickets here, such as the prices and people's livelihood in Fangzhou City?" Liu Yu asked.
Su Yan was stunned: "Huh? Master, what are the prices and people's livelihood...... What does that mean? Hehe, tell me first, maybe I've found out, but I just don't understand why I can't say it. ”
"What is the price of cereals in Fangzhou?" Liu Yu asked again.
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "Master, you're not embarrassing me, how can I know the way?" ”
"What is the livelihood of the people in the city that they are most concerned about right now? When you're walking down the street, you should always hear passers-by talking about the wind, right? ”
"This people's livelihood ......" Su Yan thought for a while, "Did someone say it on the street?" ”
Liu Yu glanced at him and hated him: "If you want to sit firmly on your king, you have to show some skills." Now people all over the street are talking about the shortage of official salt in Huaibei and the inability to eat cheap salt, you don't even have this insight, what should you do about the errand handed over by the emperor?
