The Baishanling Correctional Camp, located under the Baishanling on the east side of Liaoshun Mansion, held more than 5,000 exiles in the entire correctional camp, including Han and Manchurians, who used to be servants or servants in the family of the eunuchs, because the head of the family committed a crime, all of them suffered and were sent here.

There are two methods of managing exiles, one is for those who have committed lesser crimes, such as Father Zhang, who used to have an official position and was involved by his superiors, and he did not have much of a sin in himself.

On the other hand, there are people who have committed more serious crimes, who are similar to re-education through labor, and after they come here, they are directly stuffed into the re-education camps, and then they work day and night, clearing wasteland, digging rivers, quarrying, paving roads, planting crops, and logging trees in the mountains.

Because the weather here is cold, the ground is frozen like stones all year round, and the shovels can't shovel the ground at all, but even so, they must complete the tasks assigned by the battalion officer on time, otherwise, they will be punished with a whip and a board.

Because of their long work, the exiles here had frozen sores on their hands and feet, but even so, they still had to work, and the exiles were divided into several camps.

Some of these camps are responsible for laundry and cooking, some are responsible for paving roads and quarrying, and some are responsible for clearing the land and planting crops.

They work so hard without any pay, and when they are finished, the officers and soldiers in the supervision camp will make a round to see if they have completed their workload? If the workload is not completed, they are not allowed to rest and are allowed to continue working.

When the harvest season came, the officers and men in the supervision camp would take more than half of the food brought by the exiles, leaving only the most basic rations for them to distribute by themselves, and if the food was not enough, they would have to starve.

But even so, the exiles in the camp did not go out and escape, not because they didn't dare, but because they didn't want to, because there were permanent troops stationed next to the camp, and the soldiers in these armies patrolled each other every day, and there were no dead ends in the patrol route, so they didn't give the exiles a chance to escape at all.

Even if the exiles escaped from under the noses of the army, but the entire Baishanling correctional camp, with the military camp in the east, Baishanling in the north, and the forest in the south, needless to say, the barracks station, after entering, they would definitely not be able to get out, and they would be destroyed directly.

Although the White Mountain Ridge and the forest seem to be safe and hidden, once you enter the mountain range and forest, you will either freeze to death inside, or be eaten by the beasts inside, and you will not be able to escape at all.

Only the west side of the camp was the exit, and there was a chance to escape, but there was a Songhua River that blocked the way, and beside the only bridge, the camp built sixteen sentry posts as a second line of defense, and stationed a thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry.

All the exiles who escaped from the camp were intercepted here, and there was only one fate after interception, that is, hanging at the gate of the camp to warn the other exiles.

At noon on this day, Liu Hua and Father Zhang rode to the supervision camp, holding their official certificates and the supervision token issued by the prefect's yamen, Liu Hua saw the camp official Qianzong Na Hetu.

Na Hetu is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, with a big beard, fierce appearance, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a soft armor of a seven-grade military general, and carrying a treasure knife around his waist.

That person must be you? I can't imagine that you, this little doll, will take over Jazik's place, I really don't know what Long Live Ye thinks? I actually sent you to Shengjing to take up a post, is there no one available in my Qing Dynasty?

Okay, Ben Jiang has already experienced your identity, Mr. Liu, I don't know what you are doing here today? If you want to check those exiles, I will send a personal soldier to take you around, the general still has military affairs to deal with, I don't have time to accompany you, after the incident, you can leave by yourself. ”

Seeing that He Tu was so arrogant, Father Zhang was worried that Liu Hua was young and vigorous, and he couldn't stand Na He Tu's attitude, he was afraid that the matter of Jazik would be staged again, so he wanted to say something to Liu Hua to find a step, but at this time, Liu Hua spoke.

I saw that Liu Hua was not moved by Na Hetu's attitude at all, but walked out of the barracks with a smile, and after a few breaths, he walked in with two wine jars and a bulging leather bag: "Hehe...... I heard Daddy Zhang say that Mr. Qian likes to drink, when my brother came, the saint rewarded two jars of imperial wine, I have been reluctant to drink on the way here, I don't know if Mr. Qian is interested in drinking a few glasses? ”

The two jars of wine that Liu Hua was carrying were actually bought for him by Shen Jiaolin on the way to Shengjing, he himself had never taken care of drinking, but now it came in handy, he made up nonsense, and said that this wine was imperial wine, anyway, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and no one knows that he is talking nonsense.

But when he heard these words in Na Hetu's ears, it was not like that, he was a drunkard, and now he heard that the two jars in Liu Hua's hands were imperial wine, so he was a little moved for a while, but thinking of his attitude just now, he couldn't pull his face down.

Seeing this scene, Father Zhang said empathetically: "Mr. Qian, always catch the first kindness, you have to appreciate your face no matter what, we know and know that Mr. Qian's military affairs are busy, but people always have to eat, right?" It's already noon, and even if Mr. Qian is busy, he has to rest and rest. ”

Hearing that Daddy Zhang had sent him the steps, Na Hetu hesitated for a moment, and then slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot the time when I got busy, and before I knew it, it was already noon."

Mr. Liu has just taken office, and he is responsible for inspecting the exiles in the supervision camp, so if you count it, we are colleagues, since we are colleagues, then I will say that I will also wash the dust for the chief catcher, in this way, I will let people get a few drinks and food, let's have a few drinks here, the head catcher will give me this face. ”

After hearing this, Daddy Zhang nodded, then clapped his hands violently, and said with an expression of approval: "Mr. Qian's words are reasonable, the two of them will be colleagues in the future, and they are so sympathetic to each other, you have to drink anything today." ”

At this time, Liu Hua took out a piece of oiled paper from the leather bag, opened the oiled paper, and saw that it was filled with some air-dried chicken, braised meat, smoked rabbit, and sauced beef.

After putting these meats on the table, Liu Hua found three wine bowls: "Mr. Qian, the younger brother knows that Mr. Qian's life here is hard, so he also brought some appetizers, and I hope Mr. Qian will not dislike it." ”

"Brother is outside, why do you want to be a thousand total adults, this is a lot of life, just call the eldest brother in the future." After saying this, Na Hetu sat down on the chair, and then raised the wine bowl: "Brother, this cup of brother respects you." ”

Looking at Na Hetu, who drank the wine in one gulp, Liu Hua picked up the jar and personally poured the wine for him: "Since the eldest brother has ordered it so, the younger brother is better to obey his orders than to be respectful, eldest brother, how about this wine?" ”

After hearing this, Na Hetu wiped his chin: "Imperial wine is imperial wine, the taste is soft, the aroma of wine is overflowing, as soon as you drink it, you know that it is a good wine, unlike the shochu we brew here, except for the strength, there is no taste." ”

"In that case, then the eldest brother will have a few more drinks." After saying this, Liu Hua took out five silver tickets from his arms: "How did the brother come for the first time, thanks to the eldest brother not disliking, commensurate with the brother, the younger brother is grateful, he is in a hurry when he comes, and he didn't prepare any gifts for the eldest brother, this is a silver ticket of five thousand taels, and the eldest brother will take it to buy some things he likes." ”

"Poof......" As soon as He Tu drank the wine in the bowl, he heard Liu Hua's words, and when he was excited, he squirted out all the wine he had swallowed, and then he looked at Liu Hua in a daze: "How ...... Many...... How much? Five...... Five...... Five thousand taels? ”rs
