[First Update.] 】

A military man strode forward. The clothes on his body are different from other military men such as Li Laoshi, and they are much brighter. But although the clothes are good, the appearance is not good.

The facial features are not ugly, but a pair of tricks are too penetrating. The eyes are quite big, but the black eyes are surprisingly small, like snakes, and they look at people with a sense of cruelty. Such a pair of eyes, perhaps only when taking a hot bath, will be brought a little warmth by the mist. If you accidentally look at each other, you will be in a cold sweat.

Although this person walked strolling, his figure was not tall, but a little shriveled, but as soon as he appeared, the scene that was still a little chaotic was cleared, and the soldiers flashed to the side, saluted one after another, and commanded. The beggars couldn't avoid it, and they didn't dare to hide, like frogs being targeted by snakes, looking like they were waiting to be killed.

The conductor stood still in front of the crowd, and the beggars, whose feet were tied, were all rushed to him.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, the commander only frowned, and the soldiers below immediately punched and kicked the beggars to help them line up.

When everyone was lined up, he slowly spoke, and there was a scar on his throat like a centipede, bright red, as if he was dancing his teeth and claws as the Adam's apple moved.

"Now you should know that you are going to Yunnan." The voice was slow and hoarse, as if sandpaper was grinding the blade, "It was Han Xianggong who wanted to arrest you, and it was Han Xianggong who wanted to arrange you." There is a shortage of manpower on the border, and people are required to garrison the border tuntian. The people of good families have a life, and no one will want to go to Yunnan if they have nothing to do. But you cheap bones, one by one, you only know how to stretch out your hands, you don't know how to work, and you are still a traitor if you have nothing to do, who will you arrest if you don't arrest you?! ”

The beggars have long been used to being scolded, and the commander's few words of 'cheap bones' are not painful or itchy to them, if they were not captured in Yunnan Tuntian, Qiao Ergou would only yawn. Even now, there is no feeling of hurting his self-esteem, except for the idea of running away, all that remains in his heart is resentment, hatred of the high-ranking prime minister, hatred of the soldiers who arrested them the day before yesterday, and hatred of the soldiers who are going to escort him to Yunnan in front of him.

"I know that none of you lazy bones are willing to work hard, and when you get to Yunnan to help the plowshare, you will think about running away in a moment, but I have to say......" The commander raised his chin slightly, "don't dream!" Yunnan is surrounded by the land of the Tibetan people, from the nearest Chengdu Mansion has 3,000 miles, all the way up the mountain high and deep water, more than a dozen passes, the official army to fight away, it took a small year. If you want to escape, you must first see if the Tibetan people eat meat and vegetarians, and then ask the brothers in those passes if they agree! ”

Qiao Ergou's face was pale, and it seemed that it was impossible to escape to Yunnan, and he could only escape on the road.

"I know that there are still some of you who want to escape before they reach Yunnan, but I tell you...... It's still a dream! What are you doing with this rope?! ”

The commander walked over slowly, like a poisonous snake rolling up the food he caught, Qiao Ergou had always boasted that he was a good man who had beaten down two streets, but he was stared at by this person's eyes, and he didn't even dare to tremble, and his body was stiff.

raised his foot and kicked the rope connected to Qiao Ergou and Ye Xiaosan's feet, and the commander swept his eyes, "If one person makes a mistake, the whole team will sit together." If one person escapes, the whole team will be killed, this is the rule of this official. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ergou suddenly had no idea, he just wanted to escape, and everyone else on a rope would drag his feet, he honestly listened to the commander and continued.

"Along the way, it is military law. If he commits a crime, he will kill someone. Military law is the largest, and state and county officials can't stop it. This official has killed many thieves and killed many people in Shaanxi and Yunnan. This year, the trade is lighter, the knife is not profitable, whoever commits it in the hands of the official, don't blame the official for taking his sacrificial knife! ”

The conductor paced slowly for two more laps, and none of the beggars dared to gasp for breath. Ye Xiaosan was frozen when he was taking a bath, his throat was itchy, and he just wanted to cough, but a hand next to him suddenly covered it, and the cough was pressed in his mouth, Ye Xiaosan's chest rose and fell, and his pale face turned red.

The commander glanced at Qiao Ergou and Ye Xiaosan, "Originally, the official didn't want to talk nonsense, but the official learned one thing under Han Xianggong in the past, and he couldn't be punished without teaching, and it was not good to kill people if he didn't explain his words." Therefore, this official is now talking ahead, and it is best to hear it, remember not to do stupid things. If you don't hear clearly, the officer will repeat it again now - if one person makes a mistake, the whole team will sit together, one person will escape, and the whole team will be killed. ”

"You!" The horsewhip pointed at Qiao Ergou's nose, "Name." ”

Qiao Ergou hurriedly bent down and let the horsewhip against the tip of his nose, "Villain......"

The whip was withdrawn, and immediately it was jerked again. With a snap, the pieces of clothes suddenly flew sideways, and Qiao Ergou's body trembled violently, but he didn't dare to scream.

When he was a beggar, he was beaten too many times, and the pain was painful, but he couldn't call out. stared at the person who beat him, stared at it, and chilled without two guts. Money should be given, money should be given, and food should be eaten. In peacetime, who dares to beat people to death at will? When encountering this kind of hob meat like Qiao Ergou, merchants and private families can only consider themselves unlucky.

However, the cold eyes on the other side made Qiao Ergou understand that even if he beat someone to death, there would never be any fluctuation in that pair of eyes, and the more honest the better. He lowered his head, not daring to show any resentment. It's just that he doesn't understand why he was whipped.

After whipping Qiao Ergou, the commander raised his horsewhip again and pointed at his nose, "I only ask your name." ”

"Little ......"

As soon as Qiao Ergou spoke, he snapped, and he was whipped again.

Blood and pieces of cloth flew down, and the horsewhip pointed at Qiao Ergou's nose for the third time, "Name." ”

The skin and flesh on Qiao Ergou's face twitched, and there were bursts of throbbing pain on his body, he finally understood now, and hurriedly said, "Qiao Ergou." ”

The whip didn't come again," Ben said just now, repeat. ”

"One person...... One...... One person makes a mistake, and the whole team sits together. One person escaped...... That one...... The ......" 'that' twice, and when he saw the commander raise his whip again, he hurriedly cried out, "The whole team is killed!" ”

Although the words are somewhat wrong, the meaning is correct.

The commander nodded, let go of Qiao Ergou, and pointed the horsewhip at the other person, "Name." ”

When each team drew someone out and asked, the commander held the two ends of the whip in both hands, bending them again and again, "It seems that you have all understood the rules of this official, if you violate the rules and are killed by this official, you can't be regarded as being punished without teaching." ”

His eyes swept over the beggars lined up, "Now, all of them are on the bus for the officer, and after the official counts to ten, if there are any people in the team who don't get on the bus, the whole team will have ten lashes!" ”

As soon as the words ended, there was chaos, and the beggars rushed to get into the car. It's just that he is pulled by the rope under his feet, and when one person falls, the others follow and fall.

The soldiers came one by one, and after another wave of punches and kicks, they put the beggars into the carriage in order, and the last team was pulled down and each person was whipped ten times.

The crackling whipping and screams were clearly heard in the carriage, and the dozen or so companions on the car looked happy to have escaped the catastrophe, but Qiao Ergou shuddered. Although he was in a hurry to get into the car just now, his ears were always pricked up, but he didn't hear the commander counting at all.

Qiao Ergou was terrified in his heart, this person was ruthless but talked about the rules on the surface, but in fact, he probably didn't pay attention to the rules at all, and only grabbed the chicken and set an example.

"Brother Ergou, does it hurt?" The little brother next to him asked in a low voice.

"It hurts, it's still life." Qiao Ergou laughed miserably.

There was a noise overhead. Through the roof wall of the carriage, the sound of footsteps and talking can be heard. It was originally a place to load luggage, but sometimes people can also sit, and now it should be those soldiers with the Divine Arm Bow sitting on it, and whoever escapes will be immediately greeted by the Divine Arm Bow.

Qiao Ergou leaned his head on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate. Now I can't have any thoughts, and if I don't have a good one, I will be pulled out and killed for others to see.

He didn't die on that rainy night when he was hunted, he didn't die in prison, he didn't die in the court, he didn't want to accompany those beggars to go to Huangquan now.

There was silence overhead, and through the open car door, someone could be heard outside.

"It's getting heavier and heavier."

"This group of bird thieves is useless if they don't fight, and they won't be wronged if they are killed, but they just fight hard. The pickled things they do, go to Kaifeng Mansion to hear about it, don't push it all on the beggar, this dry bird, which one is innocent. ”

"Lao Qi is right, that is, it should be beaten. How about the Shenji Battalion, still fight. My brother is in the Shenji camp, two exercises a day, and he has to eat at night, how can he be so obedient with his temper, he hasn't played it yet! The queue of the Shenji Battalion, you have also seen it, how is it? The Golden Gun class can't be compared! How did it come about? Sticks out! ”

"I've also heard that when you walk in the queue, go faster, one stick, slow down, one stick, a little crooked, or one stick."

"Last year, my brother followed Li Hou to Guangxi, there were 1,000 people, lined up in three rows, and in front of them were 20,000 troops from 20,000 Dali, so they lined up to meet them, and they killed them before noon."

"Your brother is in battle for the first time, aren't you afraid?"

"How can you not be afraid? There are more than 10,000 people and horses, and there is no shore. 20,000 soldiers, looking at the past, there are crowds of people. Actually, I was scared, but listening to my brother, when I heard the small drum beating, I couldn't help but walk. ”

"Your brother has come back with a letter?"

"Please ask the clerk in the capital to write the letter, affix the stamp, and send it back, and the shop soldiers in this box will be delivered directly to the door."

A few people next to him spoke, and the Li honest came over, holding the door with his hand, and whispered inside,

"Don't be afraid along the way, just don't disobey your orders. It's not so easy to die when you go to Yunnan, and the court still wants you to Tuntian. After you arrive in Yunnan, you will honestly farm the land, and the land will be yours in the future, and the house will also be yours, and then save some money and marry a Hun family from the Tibetan people, what else can you ask for in this life? Isn't it better than being a beggar?! As long as you are diligent, don't be lazy, and you can live well! ”

The door closed softly, and the sound outside was much quieter. Qiao Ergou's ears were pressed against the wall panel, and the sound of dialogue came into his ears.

"I didn't expect that this time, it was our turn to go to Yunnan."

"In fact, Yunnan also has the benefits of Yunnan, but it can be known that Yi women are amorous, white skin and flesh, as long as you give some benefits, it is convenient to marry......"

The carriage began to start, and the sounds outside the carriage grew so low that only a few lewd laughs could be heard in response.

It's about to hit the road, Qiao Ergou thought to himself. The next step should be to the station first and take the horse-drawn carriage south.

Qiao Ergou only hopes to live well.

Through the narrow crack in the door, he looked at the receding street, and in this life, he might not come back.
