Chapter 548: Don't Break Your Promise

Zhao Shilang, who was about to jump from the city wall, was dragged by his entourage: "My lord, you can't jump, the city wall is nearly two feet high, if you want to jump down, your legs will break!" ”

Zhao Shilang looked down, his face turned white and he came to his senses.

King Yan was mixed in the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and he was a Wenchen with old arms and legs, and he joined in the fun.

Regaining his senses, Zhao Shilang ordered someone to move the wall ladder and climb down the ladder.

"Who else is in my sister-in-law's family?" Yu Jin asked.

The woman replied, "There is a daughter, she, she has a feverβ€”"

The crowd was silent, and subconsciously moved to the side.

Fever is often a sign of an epidemic. The woman's daughter was sick, and perhaps the woman was also infected......

Most of the victims who rushed out of the city were gathered in the West Side, believing that there was nothing wrong with their health and did not want to stay in the city and wait for death.

They were afraid of being harmed by the woman.

The woman also seemed to understand the situation, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Jin three times in a row: "Lord Wang, the tiger head will be handed over to you." ”

She glanced at the boy in Long Dan's arms with great nostalgia, turned around and ran.

No one made a sound, only the boy's loud cry: "Mother-"

Such cries are heart-wrenching, but for those who are accustomed to seeing life and death, this is only the case.

They are all precarious people, what can they do? Did she persuade the woman to leave her daughter waiting for her to die?

Yu Jin was silent for a moment, and said to Long Dan: "Take the child away first." ”

"Lord Wang!" Zhao Shilang rushed over in a panic.

Yu Jin looked at him.

Zhao Shilang persuaded bitterly: "The prince can't be rash, this child's family is infected with an epidemic, and he may already have an epidemic lurking in his body at the moment, just waiting for an attack." If he is taken out of the city, once the epidemic spreads, it will be an uncontrollable disaster, and he will not be able to explain to the emperor and the people of the world......"

He understood the young prince's kindness, but this situation could not be relied on by kindness, which often caused greater disasters.

The best way to learn this is to follow the usual practice: observe the epidemic first, and if it is really uncontrollable, you can only sacrifice these people to prevent future troubles.

Zhao Shilang's words touched the pain of the victims.

"We're not sick, our family isn't sick, why can't they let us out?"

Seeing that Zhao Shilang came down, the Qianhe County Commander also came down, and said with a straight face: "Whether you are sick or not, it's not up to you to decide." No one thinks they are sick, but when they get out of the city and bring the disease out, what is it good to do? ”

Someone in the crowd snorted: "If you say that, the county lord is still from the city, how can he go in and out?" ”

Another human: "That's right, and those soldiers who went into the city to relieve the disaster, why can they enter and leave the city?" ”

Qianhe County Ling was choked up and speechless, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

Yu Jin glanced at the Qianhe county order and thought to himself: How did this mental retardation become the county order?

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Yu Jin raised his hand.

People were quiet.

For this young prince who rang the bell to save the women and children, they were willing to listen to what he had to say.

"If you have any questions about the prefectural order and the disaster relief soldiers who can enter and leave the city, please ask Lord Squire to answer this question."

Although Zhao Shilang was helpless when he was pushed out by Yu Jin, he thought of the situation where the victims were crying in unison just now, and sighed secretly, and said: "You can see that if we want to enter the city, we need to change into clothes that have been fumigated with herbs, and after leaving the city, we have to take medicinal baths and take decoctions repeatedly...... And those soldiers not only have to do this, but the place to go out of the city is still specially demarcated, they can only live in the place outside the city, even if they wait for the end of this disaster, they must observe for at least half a month, and they are not allowed to leave if there is no problem......"

Listening to Zhao Shilang's explanation, someone shouted: "We can do the same, as long as we are allowed to go out of the city!" ”

Zhao Shilang smiled bitterly: "There are tens of thousands of people in the city, once they leave the city, how can they let so many people stay in the encircled place for a month?" And as long as one person with a latent epidemic leaves, it may cause a disaster for a city or a country, and who can afford such a responsibility? ”

The crowd was silent for a long time, and someone muttered, "So we should just wait to die?" ”

Of course, Zhao Shilang couldn't say that, and said busily: "The emperor and the court are worried about everyone, how can they make everyone wait for death?" Isn't there a second district in the city now, and everyone lives in the west district with peace of mind, and when there is no longer an epidemic in the city, everyone will be released out of the city......"

"What about this kid?" Someone pointed to the toddler in Long Dan's arms.

The child, who was a few years old, was tired of crying, leaned on Long Dan's shoulder and began to nap.

Although Long Dan is a big man, he was a little distressed when he held this small and soft doll, so he couldn't help hugging it tighter, and looked at Yu Jin nervously.

No matter how poor this child is, in the end he still has to listen to his master.

The toddler who was napping didn't know that he had instantly become the focus of countless people, and fell asleep with his little fists clenched.

"The prince just said that he would take this child out of the city......"

When it comes to one's own life and death, pity for a strange child is nothing.

Yu Jin bowed slightly: "This king said so." ”

Zhao Shilang kept giving Yu Jin's eyes: "Lord Wang, don't cause chaos in the city because of a childβ€”β€”"

Yu Jin said with a straight face: "Lord Zhao is wrong, the chaos in a city is not because of a child. Besides, if this king loses his trust even with a child, won't he live up to his father's trust? ”

Zhao Shilang shook his face.

King Yan is really good at pulling the banner, obviously it is the prince who is entrusted by the emperor, and King Yan only came with the prince.

By the way, what about the prince?

Thinking about the prince who had been anointed with oil on the soles of his feet a long time ago, Zhao Shilang suddenly felt that it was still more pleasing to King Yan.

Despite the spirit of some young people, the character is good.

Regardless of whether a good heart will do bad things, a good heart is a good heart after all, and it is always better than being ruthless.

"Everyone, listen to Xiao Wang." Yu Jin arched his hand at the victims and said loudly, "Since Xiao Wang promised the sister-in-law to take her child out of the city, she will keep her word-"

"Aren't you afraid that this child has a plague lurking? If this kid can get out of town, then we'll get out too! The crowd became agitated.

Yu Jin raised his hand and pressed down, and the crowd calmed down again.

After suffering and despairing for so long, this is the first time that a noble person has said that he can take someone out of the city, even if it is just a child, in fact, it has given these people infinite hope.

They certainly have more patience and respect for those who give them hope.

"After this child is taken out, he will be quarantined for observation, and no matter what the outcome is, he will definitely talk to everyone when the time comes." Yu Jin sighed, "He just died of his father, and his mother can't see him anymore, so you won't worry about a young child, right?" ”

"What about us?" Hearing Yu Jin say this, many victims were stunned and their tones softened.
