Chapter 135: Agreeing to Cooperate
"That's right, as long as you cooperate with me, I will definitely completely lift the plague here within half a month."
Li Yue said very confidently.
"Haha, this son, although I am not familiar with you, but you were brought here by the young master, I believe you, but other people here can't believe it."
The white-haired old man looked a little helpless, and said with a look of loss.
"Don't you want to give it a try? Just being tormented by the plague to the last man, turning this place into a dead city? ”
Li Yue said with a wry smile.
Hearing Li Yue's words, the white-haired old man immediately put away his smile, his face was solemn, and he looked angry.
"If it weren't for the little young master who brought you here, I would definitely be unkind to you, I tell you, there is no money in Xingshan Town, so you don't lie to us anymore."
The white-haired old man looked gloomy, and it seemed that if Li Yue said one more word, he might let a few big men behind him make a move.
"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything else, let's leave now, but I just want to make it clear that if a person dies, no matter how much money he keeps, it's useless, and besides, I don't want your money."
Li Yue smiled bitterly and turned around to leave, and at this time, Shi Lei also ran over in a hurry.
"Young master, the two carriages in the back are Wu Youcai and them, as well as Xu Zhiya's maid."
Shi Lei said hurriedly.
"Oh, it's them? How did they come out? Could it be that Bai Taishou deliberately let them out? ”
Li Yue was puzzled.
"I heard Wu Youcai say that they came out through the secret road, and the carriage was prepared in advance, it seems that this Wu Youcai's brain is very sufficient!"
Shi Lei said with a sigh.
"Yes, his brain is all used on calculating people, how can it not be enough, I didn't want to take him with me, this person is not suitable to be my partner."
As soon as Li Yue's voice fell, he looked at Wu Yuanqing on the side, and felt that the young man in front of him was more suitable than Wu Youcai as the person at the helm of the Wu family.
After all, it won't be long before the entire Wu family and even the entire Fengyang Mansion will be annexed by themselves.
So Li Yue urgently needs to find a suitable person as a spokesperson.
And after a few days of getting along, Li Yue found that Wu Youcai was not suitable.
This person looks cowardly and unassertive on the outside, but in fact he has something inside, and he is not an ordinary character.
"Young master, what now? Bring them here? I don't think you can stay in this town for long, the plague is rampant here, and it's too dangerous. ”
Shi Lei said with a worried face.
"We don't stay here anymore, the people here don't welcome us, they want to live and die with the plague, we can't go crazy here with them."
Li Yue smiled wryly, raised his feet and was about to leave.
And the white-haired old man, who had been silent, stood in front of him at this time and knelt in front of Li Yue.
"This son, if you can save the people of my town, we will be your servants in the future, even if it is a slave, after all, it is better to live than to die."
At the same time as the white-haired old man knelt on the ground, several big men around him also knelt on the ground, and everyone's eyes were full of desire to survive.
Seeing this scene, Li Yue was also a little moved.
Originally, he wanted to use the method of encircling the city from the countryside, to absorb all the surrounding towns, and then put pressure on Danyang City, and finally seize it.
"Very good, since you listen to me, then whatever I say is what I say, only in this way can I save the lives of you people, as for those who are sick, don't be afraid, I have medicine."
Li Yue said very confidently.
Hearing this, the white-haired old man was immediately excited, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yue.
"Young master, in the future, you will be the master of my Wu Yuanshan, and my life is also yours, as long as you can save the people here, even if I die."
Wu Yuanshan shouted loudly while kowtowing.
Seeing this scene, Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support Wu Yuanshan.
"Alas! Hurry up, you're as old as my grandfather, why are you kneeling and knocking? I'm afraid it won't take me two days to go to heaven. ”
Li Yue looked a little helpless, and as soon as his voice fell, Wu Yuantian also hurriedly stood up.
"What instructions do you have? Even though I said that I would send someone to do it, there were now 7,000 of them, most of whom were in the prime of life, and the rest were women and children. ”
Wu Yuanshan hurriedly began to give a detailed introduction to the specific situation of the entire Xingshan Town.
As was the case in other plague-prone areas, only the young and some women and children survived, while very few old people survived.
Hearing all this, Li Yue hurriedly arranged for several guards around him to start leading some strong laborers who were not sick to carry out plague isolation and treatment.
The guards, who had a lot of experience, only obeyed the task assigned by Li Yue, and immediately led people to isolate and treat the plague.
After everything was arranged, Li Yue just took Wu Yuanqing and walked out of the town with a swagger.
When the two men came out, they found that the people in the two carriages had already come down and were anxiously waiting for them.
"Master Li, I can be regarded as finding you, I am also very worried when you leave like this, why don't you tell me? Let's go together! ”
Wu Youcai ran to Li Yue with a panicked face and said hurriedly.
"Aren't you coming out now? After we went to Wu Mansion last night, it happened suddenly, and of course I didn't have time to inform you. ”
Li Yue did not feel the slightest sleepiness.
Originally, he didn't want to take Wu Youcai and the others out together, but when he saw Xu Shi with a frightened look on his face, he immediately felt a trace of apology in his heart.
"Young master, I ......"
When Xu Zhiya was about to cry with an aggrieved face, Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward and put the cloak on her body.
"Don't say it, it's my fault, I didn't bring you out, I do have some regrets, but I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
Li Yue's face was full of guilt, and his voice was very gentle.
This made Xu Zhiya fall into confusion after listening to it.
The original grievances have also disappeared, replaced by a feeling of ignorance.
"Young master, I'm not wronged, as long as the young master, remember me."
Xu Zhiya looked at Li Yue very affectionately, and her voice was very tender when she spoke.
Wu Youcai, who was ignored on the side, was very unhappy when he saw that the concubines he bought were so cared about by Li Yue, but he was left aside.
"Master Li, I've always been loyal to you, and if I don't say a word when I leave this time, I'm really a little uncomfortable."
Wu Youcai said with some complaints.
Li Yue's expression did not change when he heard this, but he was a little dazed.
"Oh, uncomfortable? Then it's uncomfortable, after all, you're always uncomfortable too. ”
Li Yue didn't pay attention to what Wu Youcai said at all, and after a few perfunctory words, he took Xu Zhiya back to his carriage.
