Chapter 506 Two Bulls Roar



One thousand taels of hard work fee?

Many people widened their eyes.

One thousand taels is enough for a family to live comfortably in the capital for the rest of their lives.

However - people exchanged glances quietly and shook their heads.

I'm afraid you won't be able to survive to get this one thousand taels.

Let’s not talk about the hardship of the long journey through such a bitter and cold place as Lingnan. Just imagine that Li Dalang foolishly followed them on the road. Who would have known that he was harmed?

Soon someone hiding in the crowd shouted out.

"Your Highness, your words sound nice. If Li Dalang were killed halfway through, we would not only lose our lives but also our money. We would not know about it..."

Everyone agreed: "That's right. The road is long and the sky is high. If Li Dalang gets killed on the way, who will know? Then not only can we save money, but we may even let this pervert go quietly..."

The law does not punish the masses, so many people gathered together and were not afraid of being punished by the King of Yan for speaking excessively.

Humph, if the Prince of Yan dares to do this, his reputation will be even worse.

Yu Jin smiled and listened patiently.

After everyone had talked for a while, he raised his hand and said loudly, "Please listen to what I have to say."

There were so many people there that even if they were just whispering it was noisy, but his voice seemed to have a penetrating power and was particularly clear in his ears.

The crowd suddenly quieted down.

They were still very curious about what the King of Yan had to say.

It should be said that the appearance of Prince Yan in such an occasion was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.

Having seen so many excitements, this is the first time that a noble person has stepped forward and treated them as part of the excitement.

It’s really exciting when you think about it.

The excited crowd stared at the extremely good-looking young man in the field.

"Xiao Wang invites another fifty people to escort the prisoners with Li Dalang. All meals are provided. After returning to Beijing, each person will receive a gift of two hundred taels of silver."

Han Ran, the commander of the Jinlin Guards who was hiding in the crowd and watching the excitement, twitched his lips.

The Prince of Yan really can think of all kinds of ideas. More than fifty people followed the officials to escort the prisoners, and they also provided food. Is this to send the princess to marry?

Yet he could only watch with a smile.

The Prince of Yan asked him to cooperate in front of the Emperor, what else could he say?

Han felt like he had been badly cheated, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered that the hard work fee and food expenses promised by King Yan had to be paid out of his own pocket.

Forget it. It’s not his money anyway. The Prince of Yan has money and can do whatever he wants with it. Let him spend it however he likes.

From the capital to Lingnan, the round trip takes about four months, with food and lodging included, and you only make two hundred taels of silver?

The onlookers, whether they knew how to count or not, quickly counted with their fingers and their eyes immediately turned red.

This is too bad. They work hard all year and can't even earn thirty taels!

What, security issues?

There is no safety issue at all. There are so many of them. Can the King of Yan dare to silence them all? Just think about it and you will know it is impossible.

Yu Jin glanced at the crowd and asked loudly, "What do you think? If anyone is interested, you can sign up now and we will compile a list on the spot."

When people heard this, they went crazy. Many of them rushed forward, shouting, "I'll sign up, I'll sign up!"

For a moment, no one cared enough to throw rotten vegetable leaves at Uncle Dou.

Uncle Dou blinked and tears came down.

Li Dalang gave one thousand taels, and fifty people each gave two hundred taels, a total of eleven thousand taels.

In order to escort him to Lingnan, the Prince of Yan was willing to pay 11,000 taels of silver... Woohoo, if he had known that he was so valuable, he would have sold himself to the Prince of Yan. At least the money would not be lost to outsiders.

If Yu Jin knew that this was how the idea of ​​keeping the wealth within the family was used, he would probably be so angry that he would laugh.

"Your Highness, the crowd is so chaotic that a stampede is likely to occur."

"Please be quiet--" Yu Jinyang shouted.

Money can move people's hearts. At this time, the handsome face of Prince Yan was of little use, as people's shouting drowned out his voice.

Yu Jin stretched out his hand.

Erniu, who was squatting not far away, ran over quickly, looking docile and well-behaved, waiting for orders.

Yu Jin rubbed Erniu's head and said, "Erniu, it's up to you now. If you perform well, you will get the steamed meat."

Erniu's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked around, and with a strong push of his hind legs, he jumped onto the chair ladder.

The chair ladder was not originally sturdy. The actors played with it in the morning to attract people's attention. Later, it was reinforced with ropes.

Erniu was extremely agile and soon climbed to the highest point, then he roared towards the sky.

Yu Jin's face darkened.

Erniu is the best at pampering. He just let it bark twice to attract attention, but who knew that the dog would climb so high!

Yu Jin looked up at the height of the chair ladder and felt a little dizzy.

It's strange, because when the actor stood there in the morning, he didn't feel dizzy at all.

Following this roar that sounded like neither a dog nor a wolf, the crowd immediately fell silent.

"Look at the ladder, there's a big wolf!"

Wolf?

Everyone subconsciously took a step back and craned their necks to look.

Finding it quiet down there, Erniu realized he had achieved his goal, so he shook his tail and quickly slid down the ladder.

OMG, a wolf that can climb trees!

People were immediately terrified, but fortunately there were many people and they were brave, so they didn't run away for a while.

Are you scared of this?

Erniu strolled over to Yu Jin and sat down. He looked around with disdain and opened his mouth wide: "Woof!"

Following Erniu's shout, everyone's faces turned strange.

So this big guy should be a...dog?

Erniu patted the ground with his tail in dissatisfaction.

Stupid man, you can't even recognize such a standard dog face?

Yu Jin gave Erniu a look that seemed to be about to settle accounts, and said loudly, "I didn't expect you all to be so enthusiastic. It's my fault for not considering it carefully. How about this, I'll let Li Dalang decide on the selection of the fifty men, and he'll select the fifty men he trusts to escort the prisoners with him. Do you have any objections?"

After Yu Jin said this, the people watching the excitement shouted, "No objection——"

"Thank you for your understanding." Yu Jin said, and then looked at Li Dalang, "Do you have any opinions on this arrangement?"

Li Dalang moved his lips and his expression kept changing.

Logically speaking, what else could he do when a prince could do such a thing?

On love——

Li Dalang muttered: "But my wife can't come back..."

Yu Jin's eyes showed genuine apology, and he bowed deeply to Li Dalang: "I know that the wife of the Li family is a priceless treasure to you, brother. I would like to say sorry to you..."

Li Dalang was just a peddler. When the great prince bowed to him, he was so flustered that he kept bowing back: "Prince, there is no need to do this, there is no need to do this——"

The onlookers looked at this scene that seemed like something out of a storybook, and they all sighed in agreement: The Prince of Yan is such a good man.

Those people sent by various governments who were hiding in the crowd quietly returned to their respective homes to report to their masters what they had seen and heard.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Jingming closed his eyes and listened to Han Ran's report, then slowly opened his eyes.

Lao Qi actually came up with the idea of ​​letting the victim escort the prisoner himself?

In this way, all doubts of the people about this case will be dispelled.

This brat, Lao Qi, is even more daring than a storyline!
