Chapter 554

Groups of soldiers with torches carried a string of thread in their hands.

The other end of the rope, like a string of grasshoppers, tied a string of civilian men, like animals, pulled back to the dam where they had fled.

Many soldiers have a bad temper because they chase and flee all night. In the process of walking, they have to kick a few times from time to time to vent their hatred.

The expression on the faces of the people who were pulled to the East and West was either despair or numbness. Gu Zheng frowned with a dead spirit that made people feel deeply sad.

When these soldiers passed the civilian husband's accommodation, they did not cover up too much. They wanted those who had not fallen asleep to see the end of these fleeing people. On the contrary, they raised their voice a little.

Let this group of people, after the time here, seem to be so long. Looking at the length of the team, Gu Zheng's heart is silently calculating.

More than 100 people, what a long string.

This is basically consistent with the number of escapes he learned today.

This shows that maybe some of these people escaped successfully, maybe the whole army was destroyed, and none of them was caught back.

Such a success rate is too low, and it seems that it is also the act of everyone's temporary intention and rush in the daytime.

From the fact that the officers quickly discovered their actions and responded effectively, the escape was not carefully planned and arranged.

Then why on earth did these people make such an unwise move?

Gu Zheng doesn't know. According to the data collected now, he can't judge.

But this is it. Let yourself have a good rest and ensure the most basic rest is the hope of survival. After watching the event, Gu Zheng retracted into his quilt again.

He subconsciously looked at the old uncle next to him. The noise outside the door only affected the middle-aged man's sleep, but he himself was as motionless as a rock, as if foreign objects could not disturb him. He was not interested.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng also closed his eyes, tried not to think about the chores outside, and let himself have a good rest.

But the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes. Just when he was sleepy because the floor was too hard and the straw behind him was too thick, he heard a vague voice outside the door, with demonic bewitchment, waking up the interested people in the middle of the night.

"Folks, have you seen the end of our compatriots today?"

"Are you willing to be enslaved by this damned court, squeezed by this unscrupulous and foolish king, and suffer from this endless labor?"

"Folks, we can't do this anymore. If you can trust me, you naturally know who I am. Go to work hours and find a chance to find me."

"If you have doubts, but those who want to go home should not worry. In order to reflect my sincerity, I can tell you that the project in the middle of the river will be basically completed the day after tomorrow, and there will be court officials who will accept it for inspection."

"At that time, many troops will be mobilized towards the middle section, and our patrol team will become half of the original."

"If everyone runs separately from the riverbank, enters the dense forest and climbs the mountain, it is very likely to escape."

"This time is not like the last time. Although we found their gap on the guard last time, the route we ran was too single."

"So it's easy to find the trace. This time it's different. You can disperse and then meet in Mengshan area in Qilu."

"When we arrive at a safe area, those who want to return home leave first. If we are carefree, we can also be good brothers of that group and hold the group to live for ourselves. Is that the truth?"

"If you have this idea, don't forget that the next day, after the morning food, is an opportunity."

The man was really careful. These intermittent words were whispered in the process of constantly moving.

Lest he be caught by a sudden patrol because he has stayed in a place for a long time and exposed his trace.

The escape plan he told this time still has many loopholes, but it gives these people a chance to succeed.

If you really can't get through it, you may really contact it in private.

This memory fragment does not exist in the mind of the client who slept like a dead pig as soon as he came back. Does his arrival change any details again?

Lying in the quilt, Gu Zheng turned over because of something in his heart. He felt that the people around him didn't really sleep. The old uncle who had been silent all day suddenly spoke like a ghost.

"Gu Zheng, don't listen to the man's bewitchment. This man often comes out at night these days."

"It's actually some magical things. I don't know how he gets the news on weekdays."

"As far as I know, most of the people who fled in panic today have something to do with him."

"Look at those people who listened to him. What's the end?"

"Almost all of them have been caught back. They used to clean up the earth on the tired but not very dangerous shallow dam, but now they have to be sent to the deep mountains and rivers to dig the stonework copper mine."

"Can you go there? It's a place where you can't get in or out."

"If I say, he is really upset and kind-hearted. It can't be said that he is the person appointed by the foreman on the dam. He deliberately divides us civilian men and finds some people who make mistakes to fill the vacancy of workers in the mine over there."

Hearing Gu Zheng here, he still had some doubts. He asked in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, the man said that everyone knows where to find him. How is this man famous among the workers?"

Hearing this, uncle Gu returned with a little doubt and lowered his voice: "of course, you are famous. Gu Zheng, you are too honest and always work with your head down."

"Haven't you heard the name of Zhao lengzi under the hand of the next generation foreman?"

"Originally, a second Leng who was more stupid than you. The foreman was a person who said what is what. A few days ago, he was suddenly buried by the loose soil of the landslide above."

"At that time, the workmates around him were able to help them properly, and finally dug them out."

"I was in a coma for three days and three nights. After waking up incoherent for a few days, my brain seemed to be enlightened, but it was more stupid than before."

"All day long, I know to make a series. If I say that the imperial court is fatuous, the world will break up. And so on."

"I've been thinking about how to escape all day. At night, I sneak into these shady things."

"Uncle, I really didn't expect that he could fool so many people to run away together."

"But in the end, it's filling it with human life. He's a disaster."

When Uncle Gu said this, Gu Zheng rolled his eyes silently.

This discourse sounds like the plot in the novel. I'm afraid it's not that Zhao erlengzi, but also a fellow countryman passing through.

Well, maybe.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. I don't rebel until the Sui Dynasty, as if I'm sorry I've been through it once.

But my brother, hey, you don't look at it. In the current years, the Grand Canal is still being excavated. The three March Koguryo hasn't started yet. Are you ready to go up with the big flag?

Isn't Qing waiting to die?

Or the wise old man around him, to the point.

But this troublemaker also has the advantage of his existence. His survival plan may be due to him.

Get up early tomorrow. You can observe each other from a distance. Maybe you can see something next to it.

After thinking, Gu Zheng slept quickly, and it was really hard to feel being blasted up the next morning.

He finally understood why the usual migrant workers were allowed to rest so early.

Because when they got up, they didn't even see the sun. At five or six o'clock in the morning, just when the light could be borrowed, they were going to work on the riverbank.

But this time, they don't have to go to the toilet as usual. After drinking soup, they have to go to work immediately. This time, on the earth yard of the dam, all the civilian men in the second half are brought here to see a new sentence.

The crackling sound of the torch did not bring any warmth to the people in the field, but made them more frightened.

Because those people who were brought back yesterday did not sleep overnight, so they were dragged to the center of the venue.

Ten people in a row, facing all the civilian men, were publicly whipped by the foreman behind them.

According to the kaihuang law of the Sui Dynasty, these people committed at least two of the ten evil systems.

According to the provisions of the code in the statutes, it is necessary to carry out the most severe punishment of death, exile, disciples, staff and flogging.

These five categories of standards are divided into twenty levels of punishment according to the size of their crimes.

However, since it is planned to be among the highest punishment regulations such as death, it doesn't matter whether it is cut or twisted.

But today, because the imperial court is employing people, these people have kept their heads for the time being.

In order that they can immediately devote themselves to new work after they arrive at a new place, the punishment given to these people at this time is the lowest level of flogging, ten times of horse whip.

Even so, on the faces of the tortured people in the audience, there was no trace of the joy of alleviating the punishment and saving their lives.

On the contrary, it is a life-threatening state with a loveless face.

Because these people know that after they have completed their mission, they will be sent to a dark place to live a life better than death, squeezing every inch of their flesh and blood until their final death.
