Chapter 385: Ningguta City
I only saw the top of the city wall, and I don't know when, a group of torturers were pushed and shoved by several soldiers to the edge of the city wall.
None of them were not skinny, but their expressions were all the same dazed, and it could be seen that this group of people had been tortured and tortured to the point that life was better than death.
Escorted to the edge of the city wall, the leading soldier was armed with a spear and pushed it so hard!
"Poof!"
The thug didn't even have time to scream, and he fell out of the city, smashing to the ground and bleeding his flesh! His arms and hands trembled a few times, and then he didn't move again.
The group of exiles was pushed off the city wall one by one by the rest of the soldiers, and fell to the ground without seeing it.
Looking at the ground, there are only a few people who died tragically, and around the city wall, there are already piles of rotten meat and dogs gnawing on white bones.
"Damn, if you don't have enough food, you're lazy, and it's easy to die!"
The leading soldier cursed and executed all the exiles, and then returned with the rest of the men down the wall.
The withered grass is silent, the cold wind is helpless, and no one cares about everything that happens here except for a few lines of blood on the ground.
Life and death are just a joke, not to mention that this Ningguta is the focus of the exiles, so for them, life and death are really indistinguishable which is the good thing.
This is Ningguta City, the previous Jilin General's Mansion was changed and was under the direct command of the imperial court.
This is the source of the Qing army's entry into the customs, allowing these ascetics to work in this remote place, one is to eliminate crimes, and the other is to deter the frontier.
The official money that is often withheld is filled by the local government office, and it is originally a place for a group of prisoners to stay, how can they care about their life and death?
Therefore, such simple and brutal executions are often staged on the city walls.
Not only that, cutting off the head to make a wine bowl, cutting out the liver to quench the hunger, which kind of torture way to say it, is not uncommon in the realm of Ningguta.
Bai Changsheng had never been here, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he really couldn't accept it.
The son on the side finally saw it, but sighed, he had long been accustomed to bloody rain, so he was also accustomed to these miserable acts.
"There is no life in Ningguta, and the severed head is only a scar."
Zi finally spoke the hearts of those prisoners who were sent to Ningguta, this hellish existence on earth, it is really just a word of life and death.
Liu Rudao's eyes narrowed, and he was a little hateful, he was a woman who didn't let Xu Mei naturally rebel, and she was really a little angry when she saw so many people in the same way being killed:
"Well, the old lady will go in, turn the world upside down, and rescue this group of brothers!"
With such a fiery temper, if no one is involved, it would be a pity that Liu Rudao is not a mountain bandit.
Zi finally knew her heart, so he stopped her and signaled her not to be impulsive, and it was important to find someone first.
But if this iron head is not here, if he is, according to this situation, can he survive it?
Bai Changsheng didn't know either, because he didn't have any concept of the iron head, so the deduction would not be too accurate, so he could only listen to Zizhong's idea.
"Let's pretend to be a prisoner, go in and inquire about the whereabouts of the iron head, and when the time comes, we will find it, and then kill it again, so okay?"
Zi finally said, but Bai Changsheng was a little hesitant, to say that the prisoners who were assigned to Ningguta all had some skills, how could they endure such torture and not rebel?
There is definitely a name in it, and if you rush in, you may be calculated.
Speaking his doubts, Bai Changsheng's words made Zi finally hesitate, so what should I do?
But as he was speaking, he saw a carriage far away from the gate, carrying buckets and bran, and men and horses that were supposed to carry the fodder.
Bai Chang's livelihood was in his mind, and he discussed it with the two of them, it was better to rob the carriage and pretend to be a groom to sneak in, so good!
As soon as they hit it off, the three of them quietly covered their bodies and followed, and came to the side of the carriage, where the groom was still humming a northeastern tune, so leisurely.
"The big girl, the big girl is beautiful, and the little daughter-in-law is not as pretty as the little widow!"
Still humming, the groom was just about to figure out some unbearable words, but someone pulled him down from behind.
According to the head is a palm, Liu Rudao put down the groom, the three of them sat on the horse, and they went in the direction of the city without politeness.
Driving the carriage, the three of them pretended to be coolies and came to the city gate, Bai Changsheng greeted and shouted:
"Send water!"
"Squeak, squeak!"
The city gate opened, the soldiers came, and the few soldiers who opened the door saw that it was a carriage carrying water, and they didn't suspect anything, but they were still a little puzzled:
"What's the change?"
Liu Rudao touched the back of the waist, and wanted to kill it, but fortunately, the quilt finally stopped her, signaling her not to move.
"He's having diarrhea, let's help deliver it once, maybe we'll have to take over his shift in the future."
As soon as Bai Changsheng said this, the little soldier didn't think much about it, so he let the three of them in.
Originally, I was curious about why I wanted to send water into the city, but now that I came in, Bai Changsheng could see that there was no well in this city.
Maybe it's a drought, maybe it's afraid of people poisoning, but in short, the desolation of the city can only be seen with the eyes, but it can't be described by the mouth.
The houses in the city are not like ordinary houses, each with doors and windows blocked, open covers, and straw quilts.
Three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, Bai Changsheng was shocked in his heart, fortunately, Liu Rudao was not impulsive, judging from the level of guarding, the three of them would definitely suffer a big loss when they rushed in.
Everyone in the city was locked hands and feet, and more than a dozen catties of iron chains were covered with shackles on their bodies, and there was really no possibility of doing evil.
Every few people, there will be a soldier behind him with a whip to push, a little slower, the whip is merciless.
"Water..."
There was a scrawny convict who had been sent here for a crime he had committed, and his eyes lit up a little when he saw the carriage entering the city.
Perhaps thirsty, the man rushed up desperately, threw himself on top of the carriage, and plunged into it to grunt.
Drinking is not so refreshing, Bai Changsheng can also see that this person's mouth is thirsty, and he did not obstruct it.
But the group of soldiers was unwilling to spare, so they decisively waved the whip:
"Smack!"
With a whip on his body, the prisoner wailed for a while, but did not bother to raise his head, and continued to drink the sweet water of the well.
From beginning to end, that son was suppressing Liu Rudao, so that she must not break out.
At that moment, a soldier went behind the prisoner, drew his sword, and slashed at the neck!
"Poof!"
The official knife was so sharp, as soon as it slashed over, the criminal's head fell directly and fell into the bucket, and the body fell to the ground with a river of blood.
Now he will never be thirsty again.
And the official who shot out didn't care at all, withdrew the knife, and joked:
"Drink, drink enough. It's just water for you to drink, but you drink it yourself without saying hello, isn't it kind? ”
Human life is just child's play, and in the eyes of this person, this group of criminals is just ants, whether they live or die, it all depends on their mood.
"Well, let's eat."
When the officer had finished speaking, he jumped into the carriage and kicked several barrels full of gluten to the ground, and the buckets were also kicked down.
All the outcasts on the street were given orders and could eat, and they rushed over desperately.
It turns out that they are not thirsty, but they do not dare!
And this bran was not originally intended for horses, this is the dry food that people eat!
It was difficult for Bai Changsheng to calm down, and at this time, Liu Rudao's whole person was stunned, and she couldn't accept the scene in front of her at all.
It is a strange scene to see a group of people snatching the bran scattered all over the ground, and the well water mixed with the blood of the severed head is also regarded as nectar.
Coaxing, tearing, these people are hungry, but the bran is limited, and those who can't grab it can only cry in the back, but no one will show mercy.
The guards were all laughing and laughing, and in their eyes, the outcasts were deserving animals, unworthy of any dignity.
"This water is like old wine, it's really cheap for you, it probably stinks, haha, you see this group of people are thirsty!"
"You are also soft-hearted, just die of thirst, and save us trouble by tossing blindly every day."
The two officers and soldiers joked, and there was no reverence for life and death in that tone.
If this is the case, will the iron head still be alive?
The first thing Bai Changsheng thought of was the life of the iron head, this Ningguta was extraordinary, ordinary people would definitely not survive.
was in a daze, but a person popped out next to him, staring directly at Bai Changsheng with a very cautious expression.
The clothes this man wore were undoubtedly prisoners, but his hands and feet were not bound by chains or shackles, and his clothes were clean.
Why is this person's treatment so different, Bai Changsheng was very suspicious, looking at the person's hair and hair, although it was messy, his eyes were still bright, he hesitated for a moment at this time, and said:
"I don't know you!"
Nonsense, the understanding is bad, Bai Changsheng is a little puzzled, what does this person mean when he says this?
"The three of us came to take over, and he wasn't feeling well today."
The man stared at Bai Changsheng, as if he was scrutinizing, and after listening to Bai Changsheng's words, he thought about it for a while, and then said:
"Did you bring anything?"
