Groups of soldiers with torches in their hands, carrying strings of thread in their hands.

The other end of the rope was like a string of grasshoppers, and the strings of people were tied back, like leading cattle, pulling back to the embankment where they had fled.

Many soldiers, because of the overnight pursuit, and temper is not good, in the process of walking, from time to time to kick and beat a few times, to vent their hatred.

The expressions on the faces of those people who were staggering were either desperate or indifferent, revealing a dead air that made people feel deeply sad, and Gu Zheng frowned.

When the soldiers passed by the people's lodgings, they did not hide too much, hoping that those who had not yet fallen asleep would be able to see the fate of those who had escaped, but raised their voices 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 a hundred, a long string.

This is basically consistent with the number of escapees he learned in the past 100 days.

This shows that maybe some of these people managed to escape, or maybe they were all wiped out, and none of them were captured.

This success rate is too low, and it seems that everyone is improvising, and it is done in a hurry in broad daylight.

Judging by the fact that the officers quickly discovered their movements and reacted effectively, the escape was not well planned and arranged.

So why did this group of people do such an unwise move?

Gu Zheng didn't know, and according to the information collected now, he couldn't tell.

But the matter has come to this, let yourself rest well, and ensure the most basic rest is the hope of survival, after watching the incident, Gu Zheng shrank back into his bed again.

He subconsciously glanced at the uncle next to him, the noise outside the door only affected the middle-aged man's sleep, but he himself was indeed lying motionless like a rock, as if foreign objects could not be disturbed, and he was not interested.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng also closed his eyes, trying not to think about the chores outside, so that he could have a good rest.

But when he was asleep in a daze because the floor was too hard and the straw behind him was too tied, he heard a vague voice outside the door, with a demonic bewitchment, waking up the person in the middle of the night.

"Folks, have you seen what happened to our compatriots today?"

"Are you willing to be enslaved by this damned court, oppressed by this unscrupulous king, and subjected to this endless servitude?"

"Folks, we can't do this, if you can trust me, you will naturally know who I am, and when you go to work, find an opportunity to find me. ”

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

"At that time, a lot of troops will be mobilized towards the middle section, and the patrol team on our side will become half of the original. ”

"If you run away from the river embankment and go into the dense forest and climb the mountains, there is a good chance that you will be able to escape. ”

"This time it's not like the last time, although the last time we found their gap in the guards, but the route we ran was too simple. ”

"So it's easy to find the trail. This time is different, everyone can disperse, and then go to the Mengshan area in Qilu to meet. ”

"When you get to a safe area, if you want to return home, you should leave first, if you have nothing to worry about, we can also be good brothers of that group, holding the group to live for yourself, isn't this the truth?"

"If you have this idea, don't forget that the day after tomorrow, after the eclipse, is an opportunity. ”

This person was really careful, and these intermittent words were whispered in the process of constant movement.

I am afraid that because I have been in one place for a long time, I will expose my tracks, and then I will be captured by the patrol team that suddenly arrives.

And the escape plan he told this time still has a lot of loopholes, but it gives these people a chance to succeed.

If it's someone who really can't get through it, maybe they'll really come into contact with them in private.

This fragment of memory does not exist in the mind of the client who slept like a dead pig as soon as he came back.

Gu Zheng, who was lying in the quilt, turned over again because of something in his heart, and felt that the person next to him had not really fallen asleep, and the uncle who had been silent all day suddenly spoke like a ghost.

"Gu Zheng baby, don't listen to that person's demagogy, in the past few days, this person often comes out at night to string up. ”

"It's actually talking about some demagogic things, and I don't know how he usually gets the news. ”

"As far as I know, eighty percent of those who run away in a panic today have nothing to do with him. ”

"Look at the fate of those who listened to him?"

"One by one, they were almost all caught, originally just to clean the earthwork on the shallow embankment that was a little tired but not much dangerous, but now they were to be sent to the deep mountains and rivers to dig the stone copper mine. ”

"Can you go to that place? ”

"If you want me to say, this man is really uneasy and kind, maybe it is the man appointed by the foreman on the embankment who deliberately divides us people, and finds some errant people to fill the vacancy of the workers in the mines over there. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zheng still had some doubts, and he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Gu, that person said that everyone knows where to look for him, why is this person very famous among the workers?"

Hearing this, Uncle Gu was a little puzzled, and also lowered his voice and returned: "Of course you are famous, Gu Zhengwa'er, you are too honest, you always work with your head down." ”

"Haven't you heard the name of Zhao Stunned under the OEM next to you?"

"Originally, a dumb man who was more stupid than you, the foreman was a figure who said what he was, but a few days ago, he was suddenly in the process of construction, and was buried by the loose soil that collapsed above. ”

At that time, the workers around him were able to rescue them properly, and finally dug them out. ”

"After being in a coma for three days and three nights, and after waking up and talking incoherently for a few days, this brain seems to have opened up, but it is even more stunned than before. ”

"I know that I have been in a series all day, saying that the court is mediocre, and the world is going to disperse. And so on. ”

"I have been thinking about how to escape all day long, and at night, I will secretly engage in these unsightly things. ”

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

"But in the end, this is filling in with human lives, and he is a scourge. ”

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

Listening to these words, why is it so similar to the plot in it, I'm afraid it's not that Zhao Er stunned, but also a compatriot who has crossed over.

Well, maybe.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and if you don't rebel in the Sui Dynasty, you feel sorry for yourself once in the past.

But my brother, you don't take a look, in the current years, the Grand Canal is still being excavated, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo have not yet begun, so you are pulling the banner and getting ready?

Isn't that just waiting for death?

is still the wisdom of the old man beside him, and he hits the nail on the head.

But this troublemaker also has the benefits of his existence, and his own survival plan may be on him.

Tomorrow morning, I can observe each other from a distance, and maybe I can see something next to me.

Gu Zheng, who had finished thinking about it, slept quickly, and the feeling of being bombarded the next morning was really uncomfortable.

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

Because when they got up, they didn't even show up to the sun, and at five or six o'clock in the morning, when the day was just enough to borrow light, they were going to work on the embankment.

Only this time, they didn't have to go to the toilet as usual, and they had to go to work immediately after drinking the soup, and this time, on the dirt field of the embankment, all the people in the second half of the year were brought here to watch a special sentence.

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

Because those people who were brought back yesterday looked like they hadn't closed their eyes all night, and they were dragged to the center of the field.

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

According to the Sui Dynasty's "Kaihuang Law", these people committed at least two of the ten evil systems.

According to the legal code, the punishment of death, exile, imprisonment, rod, and flogging, is to be inflicted.

These five categories of standards are divided into 20 punishment levels according to the magnitude of the crime committed.

But since it is planned to be in the maximum punishment regulations such as death, it doesn't matter whether it is beheaded or hanged.

But today, because the imperial court is employing people, this group of people has temporarily kept their heads.

And in order that when they arrived in the new place, they could immediately devote themselves to the new work, and the punishment given to this group at this time turned out to be the lowest level of flogging, ten horselashes.

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

On the contrary, it is a state of resignation with a face that has no love.

Because these people know that after they have smoked these ten whips and become the chickens among the chickens who kill chickens and monkeys, they will be sent to a dark place to live a life that is worse than death, squeezing every inch of flesh and blood out of their bodies until their final death.
