Zhu Ying glanced at the man and ignored him.

With that face, he looks like a snob.

He probably knew that his life was short, so he dared to ask such a reckless question.

Zhu Ying looked at the death row prisoners who stood up and said to them:

"I need 20 trialists to participate in our Vaccinia Inoculation program.

To put it simply, it is to let you be infected with the cowpox virus, so as to gain resistance, fight the virus with poison, and fight smallpox.

To tell you the truth, the second step in this trial is to have contact with a person who is seriously ill with smallpox. Although there is a certain risk, for most people, it is not life-threatening.

If this experiment is successful, we will be able to eradicate smallpox from the world once and for all.

And you, as the first batch of experimenters, will become warriors against smallpox, and you will go down in history!

In addition, anyone who is willing to participate in this trial will receive a condolence payment of 20 taels of silver for your family! ”

Only then did Wei Qing understand Zhu Ying's intentions, it turned out that he deliberately selected death row prisoners with family members, which was the reason.

Money means little to death row inmates who are about to die.

However, if he still has concerns, it will be different.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, 20 taels of silver was not a small amount.

During this period, the daily income of craftsmen, if settled with copper coins, is most common in more than 20~30 yuan, and when calculated, they do not rest for a month, and their income is only about one or two silver.

Those laborers who live at the bottom earn less than 20 taels of silver a year.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

But most death row inmates don't think so.

Because they were terrified of smallpox in their hearts, they did not dare to face the fear of being tortured by smallpox and dying.

What's more, the person who made the promise to them was a child who was only eight or nine years old.

I can't believe the words of the government, can I believe his words?!

The death row inmates began to talk to each other again.

"How could cowpox be used to treat smallpox? It's ridiculous! ”

"This kid is a little whimsical! Forget it, I'd rather stay in this prison than be tortured by smallpox! ”

"That's it! Anyway, it's all a death, just twenty taels of silver, don't do it! Whoever loves to go, I won't go anyway! ”

......

As he spoke, some of them silently retreated.

There were fewer and fewer death row inmates standing in front, and soon there were fewer than 20.

Seeing this, Wei Qing whispered in Zhu Ying's ear:

"They're all cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Childe, I'm afraid we're going to have to run two more prisons! ”

"Don't worry! Just wait and see the show! ”

Wei Qing was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhu Ying to have a backhand.

Zhu Ying had already prepared in his heart, and it was also expected that the death row inmates would have such a reaction.

He has a great gift to give to those who are genuinely sincere, willing to give, and willing to trust him.

And those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are afraid of the tail, do not deserve it.

Zhu Ying looked at those who were eligible and said loudly:

"Have you all figured it out? I repeat, those who are willing to participate in this trial, please take the initiative to come out! ”

Those people couldn't make up their minds, and many of them had already retreated.

Suddenly, there was a roar from the crowd.

"A bunch of useless bastards! What is there to fear from death?! Get out of the way, let me come! ”

Everyone's attention was drawn to the loud voice.

I saw that a strong man pushed away the crowd and walked straight to Zhu Ying.

Seeing this, the cell boss hurriedly ran to Zhu Ying's side and reminded:

"This man is a great sin! Please be careful! ”

Wei Qing's heart was shocked, and he immediately blocked in front of Zhu Ying, ready to protect him.

The strong man is about 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy physique, and a macho man.

He wore a mantle and beard, so he couldn't tell his real age.

Zhu Ying took a closer look and found that the man was "enjoying" the special treatment in prison.

The other death row inmates only had chains on their hands, and the man's hands and feet were handcuffed, and the chains were several times thicker than others'.

Zhu Ying asked the cell head curiously:

"Why did this to him?"

The cell boss replied in a low voice:

"Childe doesn't know! This person is strong in martial arts, he has more than a dozen lives on his back, and most of the people he killed are people who practice martial arts! I can't do this to him! ”

"He's so powerful, how did he get caught?"

"No, Young Master Ying misunderstood! He wasn't arrested, he surrendered on his own initiative! ”

Voluntarily surrendered???

Zhu Ying felt that there must be something strange in this, so she became more curious about the strong man.

He stepped forward and pushed Wei Qing away.

"Lord Wei, don't worry!"

"Childe be careful!"

Wei Qing didn't dare to be sloppy, he stuck to Zhu Ying's side tightly, watching the strong man's every move, ready to shoot at any time.

Zhu Ying was not afraid at all.

He walked up to the strong man and asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, what do you call Brother Tai?"

Seeing that Zhu Ying was still a child, the strong man didn't take him to heart, and replied with a nonchalant face:

"It's a nobody, don't mention it!"

That arrogant attitude made Wei Qing on the side unbearable, and he just wanted to get angry but was stopped by Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying felt that this person had a straightforward personality and no scheming, so there was no need to be angry with him.

"You don't meet any of the three conditions I listed before. However, I respect you as a man, even if you are one! Are you really not afraid of smallpox? ”

The strong man snorted disdainfully.

"What's there to be afraid of smallpox?! My revenge has been avenged, and now it's a rotten life, it doesn't matter. I only hope that after my death, you can fulfill your promise and send the twenty taels of silver to the hands of Aunt Wang at the head of Hongcun Village in the west of the city. ”

"What is the relationship between Aunt Wang and you?"

"It doesn't matter! It's just a meal! ”

Although this strong man is rude, he is a man of affection and righteousness.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhu Ying couldn't ask more.

It is not difficult to investigate his details, Wei Qing has a way.

The strong man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face changed, and he warned sharply:

"Boy! If you don't keep your promise, I'm a ghost, and I won't let you go! ”

"Presumptuous! Dare to be so unreasonable to Ying Gongzi! I think you're tired of it! ”

From beginning to end, the strong man had an arrogant attitude, Wei Qing had put up with him for a long time, and seeing him so arrogant, he really couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Lord Wei, stop!"

"Childe, but he ......"

"It doesn't matter! He has no ill will towards me, but he can't trust the people in the government, I can understand! ”

After listening to Zhu Ying's words, the strong man felt a little guilty.

He clasped his hands into fists and saluted Zhu Ying to apologize.

Infected by the strong man, others also came forward.

"Young Master Ying, I believe in you! Count me in! When I die, you will send the twenty taels of silver to the house of the Shaw family and his wife in Linhe Village. If they hadn't rescued me, I would have drowned in the river when I was seven years old! ”

"Young Master Ying, count me as one, the twenty taels of silver will be left to my father, please forgive me for this unfilial son......"

......

Zhu Ying counted silently in his heart.

“1、2、3、4......”

Soon, the 20 slots were full. However, there are still people who are willing to take the initiative to stand up.

In the end, a total of 34 death row inmates volunteered to participate in the experiment. Some of them have surviving family members, while others have no relatives and no cause.

During the test, people who were severely ill with smallpox were exposed to them, and they were all prepared to die.

Those death row inmates who were reluctant to participate in the experiment were glad that they had escaped for the time being.

Zhu Ying looked at them with disdain.

"It's a pity, I gave you a chance, you didn't use it! You cowards, you don't even know what you've just missed! ”

Everyone present was shocked.

What does he mean by that?!
