314 People are rich or poor
Xu Da said in a serious tone: "People have high or low status, and naturally their values are high and low. Mr. Wang's background is different from others. If I only use the ransom money of common people to count on you, it will be disrespectful to you."
The first two sentences made Mr. Wang and other officials who came from noble families nod their heads repeatedly.
But as they listened, they felt that Xu Da's words were a bit off.
"Then, if we redeem ourselves, how much will it cost?" Mr. Wang asked tentatively.
Xu Da smiled slightly, "Not much. With Master Wang's wealth, it is definitely enough. The Wang family..."
Xu Da lowered his head and glanced at the household registration book in his hand, "Your parents and brothers are still alive, plus the concubines and the children of concubines, there are a total of twenty-eight people. Those under the age of eighteen will be given one hundred thousand yuan per person."
, those over 18 years of age, 150,000 yuan per person.”
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Wang could hardly stand still. The cold winter wind was not as cold as the coldness in his heart at the moment. He slumped on the ground, feeling that the days ahead were dark.
Someone started to bargain, and Xu Dalang raised his hand to "swipe" with a knife. The sharp blade pierced his chest, and the man quickly lost his breath.
Xu Jiajun's speed was very fast. In less than ten seconds, the stains and corpses on the ground were cleaned up.
Suddenly, no one dared to stand up and question the Xu family's redemption price.
Gongsun An was standing aside. He was the household director of Yuyang County, and he was also the one who re-registered the household registration. The number of people in each household was written down in detail under the supervision of his cousin Wang Pingping.
The colleagues nearby listened to Xu Da recounting his own situation one by one, and immediately cast resentful glances at Gongsun An.
Gongsun An shuddered and hurriedly stood over his cousin Xu Da to make his position clear.
As a hero who took the initiative to open the gate of Yuyang County like the three Zhao Bei brothers, his family will receive preferential treatment.
However, the ransom money was not waived, but the way they were treated was gentler.
Everyone saw that Xu Jiajun treated his relative Gongsun An like this, so what else could they, insignificant people who were not even relatives, say?
It is impossible to redeem one's body because there are so many people in the family, so what's the point of redeeming just one or two?
In this case, why not everyone work under Xu Jiajun together, at least we can save our lives.
"Is there anyone else who wants to redeem themselves?" Xu Da asked again.
No one responded, Caishikou was so quiet that only the whistling of the north wind could be heard.
Seeing this, Xu Yue picked up the horn again and said, "Since no one has redeemed themselves, let's start working. You will definitely not lose money by working for our Xu Jiajun. Work hard and one day you will be able to earn redemption money."
"Now I have a job here that pays thirty dollars. The requirement is a young girl who can read and write. If you meet the conditions and want to make this kind of money, you can sign up here."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yue added: "Girls are clever and careful. Only girls can handle this job well. Men should not interfere with it."
It is a strange feeling for a man to be despised. The women present felt this in their hearts.
Junmei raised her hand to indicate the direction of registration.
Everyone on the field looked at me and I looked at you, all very cautious.
But there are always those who are bold, such as Su Wen. Although her father Su Ci has been giving her winks to tell her not to stand up, she still couldn't hold back the 30 yuan when she thought about the ransom price of 150,000 yuan per person.
Tempted, he stood up tremblingly.
Although she had seen the cruel side of the female leader who killed people without blinking an eye, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity and wanted to get closer to her to see other sides of this person.
If there were one, there would be two. Seeing that the eunuch's daughter all came forward, other officials' wives also tentatively came forward.
Junmei called them to come to her and registered each of them.
There were nine people in total, all young official family members aged fourteen or fifteen.
Obviously, in this era, only women like them who came from official families could meet Xu Yue's requirements. They had read some books and could write and do math.
After everyone was gathered, Xu Yue took the nine girls and left.
Su Wen was surprised to see that the female leader left immediately. Didn't she have to stay and continue to control the situation?
However, this is not something that Su Wen, a girl who has lived in the boudoir all year round, can think clearly. If she can be the first to stand up, she is already an outlier among the same kind.
Su Wen and several other girls all know each other. Their parents are in the same circle and they interact with each other on weekdays.
One of them couldn't help but asked Su Wen in a low voice: "Sister Su, where did you say the devil is taking us?"
She thought her voice was so low that Xu Yue couldn't hear her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dalang, who was following him, looked over.
That emotionless cold glance, coupled with the oppressive feeling brought by Xu Dalang's tall body, made the speaking girl's eyes widen instantly and she was surrounded by fear.
The brother of this female leader just stabbed an adult to death with the knife in his hand!
At this moment, there was still a touch of red on the blade in his hand. Maybe it was an illusion, but she felt a disgusting smell of rust coming over her...
"Hurry up!" Xu Yue, who was walking in front, shouted impatiently.
Xu Dalang raised his eyebrows, sneered coldly, strode past the group of girls, and walked towards Xu Yuena.
When the girl saw him walking away, her legs became so weak that she fell to the ground.
For the first time, Su Wen was a little annoyed with this young lady from Tian Cao's family who always followed her with her elder sister and younger sister.
But she couldn't just leave her alone. If she was killed by Xu Jiajun, Su Wen would feel very sorry.
We had no choice but to take her with us along with the other little sisters.
The nine young ladies stood together, trying to speed up their pace to keep up with the striding Xu Yue brother and sister.
A group of people came to the county school, and Xu Yue asked them to pack up all the books here and clean the tables and chairs. This will be the place where they will have classes in the future.
When Su Wen heard about this task, she couldn't believe it - this job was much simpler and easier than she imagined.
Although I feel relaxed physically, I dare not relax mentally.
Xu Yue, the female leader, wanted a collection of books. Not only that, she also distributed pens and paper to them and asked them to copy down all the books in the collection in duplicate.
Xujia paper is as white as snow and impermeable to ink, making it easy to copy.
However, Su Wen and others were so frightened when copying such precious paper, for fear of damaging the paper or wasting pen and ink, and being stabbed to death by the vicious Xu Dalang.
Xu Yue, on the other hand, was sitting on the soft mat where the Master once sat, looking at them.
Doesn't she have other things to do? The ladies thought sadly in their hearts while copying.
The feeling of being watched all the time is really terrible.
Under high pressure, coupled with the cold weather and stiff hands, a lady accidentally dropped a long black charcoal pencil on the ground.
The charcoal pencil was already soft, so it broke into two pieces when it hit the ground, and stained the polished floor with a few spots of black ink.
"me......"
Before the young lady who dropped her pen could say anything, Xu Yue slapped her head and said, "I forgot, Junmei, get some pots of charcoal fire for everyone."
Su Wen and others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this female leader is not so indiscriminate in killing.
