Chapter 304: Money is more expensive than life
Standing aside, the pharmacist poured out a crystal clear elixir from the medicine bottle and fed it to Yu Pu.
This elixir was entangled with aura from the moment it was poured out, and in terms of quality, it was much better than the elixir that Qing Nian gave to Yu Pu before, and the medicinal effect naturally did not need to be said.
After Yu Pu ate this elixir, his face gradually turned ruddy, and the essence of the whole person also recovered a little bit, at least his voice was no longer as thin as before when he spoke.
"Thank you for the medicine. Yu Pu's tone of voice was a little more neutral, and now it seemed that his life was completely safe.
After hearing Yu Pu's thanks, Prince Shen was happy in his heart, and took the elixir that Wang Yan gave him to Yu Pu, but Yu Pu thanked himself in turn, and he really got a thank you for nothing.
"Hello rest, I'll go see how the victims are doing. Wang Yan said.
Yu Pu nodded heavily, the family members of those who sacrificed the victims should be the saddest at this moment.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Wang Yan came to the houses where the victims died, almost all of the victims who died in the front row came from the vicinity of Weiyu Lane, they were the first to come to the south gate in the northernmost part of Fuyang County, it can be said that they were almost the first to drive out of their homes as soon as they got the news of Duanmu You's siege, and the victims behind them probably also saw them, and spontaneously followed behind them, and finally gathered a full 400,000 victims at the south city gate.
As soon as he entered the alleyway, Wang Yan heard a heart-shaking cry, and the death of his family was undoubtedly the most tragic thing in the world.
In the surrounding alleys, almost every house has a vegetarian sticker.
He had also experienced this kind of scene in Qingyun City.
Whether it is the Dasheng soldiers in Qingyun City who are not afraid of death and finally fight to the top of ten rooms and nine emptiness, or the crying in the north of Fuyang County now, these deceased people are all sacrificed to protect their homes.
Wang Yan clenched his already iron-clad fist and walked into a victim's house.
An old woman sat on the ground and cried hoarsely, a young woman slipped silently and kept throwing paper money into the brazier, hoping that her deceased husband would not be so miserable over there, and a little girl with a slightly yellow face did not know that it had happened, so she could only kneel obediently on her mother's illness.
The deceased man can be said to be the only pillar of the family, pulling the elderly mother and a daughter who has not yet become sensible.
Wang Yan didn't know what kind of suffering the young mother would suffer in the future.
"Go and fetch five taels of silver from the carriage outside. ”
The soldiers around Wang Yan walked quickly to the carriage, he is also the only son in the family, if he dies on the battlefield this time, the family will be such a scene, not only him, as long as the soldiers who enter the homes of the victims are all tears in their eyes.
When the young woman heard the voice, she realized that there were a few more people in the house, and when she saw Wang Yan come to their home in person, the woman who had been in tears knelt down in front of Wang Yan and cried.
"My miserable husband died outside the city without enjoying a good day, and this is how can we, the old mothers and orphans, live in the future. ”
After hearing this, the old woman cried even more, and the little girl seemed to be frightened and cried along.
Wang Yan gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the five taels of silver handed by the soldier and put them into the woman's hand.
The woman who received the silver was stunned for a moment, and then kept kowtowing to Wang Yan, and kept shouting: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
"Live well, make up for the child, it is the time to grow the body, nutrition can not be lacking, if there is still any difficulty, go directly to the Yu City Lord, he will not sit idly by, you can rest assured." ”
Wang Yan didn't want to give more, he still had a hundred taels of money for a family, but after having a huge amount of money, he didn't know what would become of the victims' families, five taels was already the limit, which just made up for their family's life and a little surplus, which could be said to be a little better than when their men were still alive.
Wang Yan still understands the truth of Shengmien's fight against rice.
The corners of Wang Yan's mouth showed a miserable smile, five taels of silver can buy a life, and sure enough, human life in war is the most worthless thing.
"Your days will definitely get better and better, and at least you won't worry about food when you encounter a New Year's disaster. I'll go shopping around the other homes, so I won't stay long. ”
The woman nodded Mu Ran, looking at the five taels of silver in her hand, she was still a little confused, she had never seen so much silver at one time, and at most it was not enough for a copper coin, five taels of silver was almost the income of their family for more than ten years.
Wang Yan went through all the families of the victims who lost their families, most of them were the first family, leaving only orphans and widows and nothing else, so Wang Yan kept five taels of silver for each household.
No wonder they are poor in the first place, and each family only gives birth to one child, and the surplus money makes it impossible for them to support two children at the same time, so there is such a scene.
When Wang Yan returned to the City Lord's Mansion again, it was already late at night, and he didn't go back to his room but went straight to Yu Pu's room.
Sensing Wang Yan's arrival, Yu Pu also woke up at the same time, "I don't know what happened to the immortals who arrived so late." ”
Wang Yan did not light the lamp, but sat in the dark.
"There were 21,000 households in all, and each household was given about five taels of silver, a total of 105,000 taels. Wang Yan's voice was a little low.
"The immortals are not in a hurry, tomorrow I will definitely ask the soldiers to give these silver to the immortals. Yu Pu knew that the money was put on by Wang Yan, and now there is nothing wrong with coming over to ask for money.
"I don't mean that, these coins are my gratitude to the victims, if they have any other requirements in the future, they need you, the city lord, to meet them. ”
Yu Pu suddenly understood what Wang Yan meant, and he sat up directly from the bed in surprise and asked, "Immortal is leaving Fuyang County?"
Wang Yan nodded in the dark: "I can't stay in Fuyang County, I will put the county in crisis if I stay for a day, this time Wu Zhen came to help, but what about next time? Wu Zhen can't come to help every time, we can't defend the city every time, I don't want to see those innocent people die for me again." As soon as you release the news of my departure, the county will be back on track. ”
Yu Pu sighed, he knew that what Wang Yan said was right, he had thought about this problem while lying in bed in the afternoon, but he was embarrassed to speak, since Wang Yan proposed it himself, he could only agree.
"The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the gods and goddesses are destined to meet again. ”
Wang Yan took out a long sword with the quality of a high-grade spiritual weapon from the space bracelet and placed it on the table, "Take this sword to protect the people of this city." ”
With that, he got up and stepped into another darkness.
