Chapter 30 Two hundred taels of silver per month
Seeing Mrs. Chen dragging her injured leg, she crawled to Yu Hui's side, threw herself directly on Yu Hui in disheveled clothes, and burst into tears. Yu Luo's mouth trembled!
In fact, skin injuries are really not serious enough to prevent walking, not to mention that Chen's injury happened to be on the calf, where there is the most flesh.
After a few days, even if it hurts, I can stand up and walk for a while.
It was also the selfishness of the old woman Chen, who was afraid that her injured leg would never recover, so she tortured Yu Zhengqing for two days and traveled across mountains and rivers, and finally encountered such a thing.
What's the use of crying now? They're lucky if they can reach the wilderness alive, not to mention that Old Yu is just sick?
At this time, Wu Dahai and a group of officers and soldiers were also tired from walking. They didn't care about what was happening in front of them and sat down on the ground to rest.
Wu Dahai did not tie up Yu Zhengqing immediately, which was to give him the greatest convenience. It was impossible to ask him to take old Yu for medical treatment.
But if the temptation is big enough, it can be done.
Yu Zhengqing walked up to Wu Dahai who was resting, and saluted with his hands and fists.
If it were in the past, Yu Zhengqing, who was once the prince, would never look at Wu Dahai directly, but things are different now.
While the three of them were drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, Wang Ying from the third bedroom was crying anxiously while holding five-year-old Yu Xiaoqing.
"Well, they have a fever. I secretly gave them some anti-fever medicine. They probably caught a cold in the mountains last night. I saw that they live in a family of three rooms. They are really pitiful. The cotton-padded jackets they wear are all hard and they don't keep them warm.
, patch after patch, and after Pingyang, the whole family doesn’t know if they can reach the wilderness safely.”
Didn't he take this hard job just to make a fortune on the road? And the so-called box of gold and silver treasures was naturally more valuable than the silver Wu Dahai had on him.
The whip sounded with a "snap" sound and hit Chen's body hard. Chen, who was already weak, screamed in pain and jumped up immediately!
She was listless and shouting before, but now she looked like she was dying of exhaustion and pain? She was completely exposed by a whip!
"Why are you screaming? If you don't want to leave, I'll just hit you and kill you. Don't scream to upset me!"
After the official whip was served, Chen was spitting again. After taking the whip, Chen immediately shut her mouth honestly and did not dare to scream again.
It is normal for exiled criminals to hide their property privately. It is impossible for a large family to keep all their property in one place. It is very risky.
They knew that if the officials did not intervene, Mrs. Chen would definitely open her mouth and ask them to carry her.
Hearing what Wu Dahai said, Yu Zhengqing felt happy and knew that there was room for negotiation.
After a while, Ye Jiamei came back and sat down cross-legged next to her father and daughter.
Ye Jiamei raised her eyes and saw the child in Wang Ying's arms, with a blushing face and a drowsy look on her face.
"Ignore them, we just do our best."
Wu Dahai, who was happy in his heart but had a cold expression on his face, glanced around with a livid face, "The court has regulations that do not delay the trip. If you delay the arrival time, you will be punished with a hundred whippings, but the Crown Prince Rongan is
You have to think clearly."
"Two hundred miles to the north, there is a village in my concubine's house. There is also a box of gold and silver jewelry in the village. If Commander Wu is willing to make this convenient, I am willing to inform you of the specific address."
"Why thank you so much? Prince Rongan probably only has a few thousand silver coins, right? It's not enough for me to take such a risk."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Luo and the others saw Yu Zhengqing and quietly left with Yu Hui on their backs.
Saying that, Ye Jiamei shook her head, picked up the rice porridge, and took another sip.
Wealth is sought in danger. Although Wu Dahai believed it eight or nine times, he still had to say harsh words first.
"Leave her alone, as long as she is not a heinous person, let her shine."
After walking five or six miles, Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it anymore and started to scream out loud, hoping to make her two daughters-in-law feel distressed and make them carry her on their backs.
After finishing her words, Ye Jiamei stood up and walked towards Wang Ying.
"I'll go take a look...
Seeing Mrs. Chen take the whip, they were actually happy for a long time.
"What's wrong? Is the child sick?"
The wild boar definitely didn't deserve the prisoners like them. The three of them sat on the ground, dug a hole casually, cooked a pot of porridge, and ate it with steamed buns.
"Mom and Dad, this wealth can really make people push around. I don't know how much benefit Yu Zhengqing gave Wu Dahai to let him take Yu Hui to see a doctor like this."
After a brief rest, Yu Zhengqing carried Old Yu on his back and continued to move forward with the team.
"My mother's occupational disease seems to be irreversible."
Seeing Yu Zhengqing like this, Wu Dahai knew that it was another opportunity for him to make a fortune.
At noon, the group of people walked near a small river. Wu Dahai ordered a few people to deal with the wild boar and rest on the spot.
"Commander Wu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
The two of them walked not far away, and Wu Dahai said coldly, with a stern tone that left no room for discussion.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the Yu family had already taken precautions, so Wu Dahai was not surprised at all.
Lan Shi and Chang Huilan, who were supporting her, lowered their heads silently, having endured enough for a long time.
"I know that, but I am just begging Commander Wu to be kind and allow me to take my father to seek medical treatment. If Commander Wu is willing to do this, I will definitely thank you very much."
Without Yu Zhengqing, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to move forward with the support of her two daughters-in-law. She was limping and did not dare to make trouble.
"Child, don't scare me!"
"If you dare to deceive me, we are still thousands of miles away from Pingyang anyway. Even if you have the skills, your wife and children will not believe you, so you will not care."
In fact, the wound didn't really hurt. Even though she was a pampered person, she hadn't walked such a long distance in decades, and she was really tired and flustered.
"It's really hard for people in this era. When Yu Hui was a wealthy man and became a marquis, I heard that he would ask the accountant to pay one hundred taels of silver to his two brothers every month. I don't know how they can still live like this.
poverty?"
Hearing this, Yu Haojie also shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Mom and Dad, do you think it's possible that the two hundred taels of silver per month are not taken away by the two-room people? Otherwise, why do I think the lives of the two-room people shouldn't be so miserable?
Even if they are exiled, they will at least wear the thickest clothes to cope with the bitter cold of the wilderness. Looking at their clothes, I don't think of people who have a hundred taels of silver a month. And you can see that what they eat is all wild vegetables.
and cereals.”
