Chapter 90: The First Arrival
"This is the place where you will go to work in the future, fifteen times a month, pay the bills annually, and the children are not bullied."
Dozens of Taoist people with big shoulders and round waists held long whips in their hands, looking like overseers, with solemn expressions.
Lin Yuanai excitedly announced to these dregs of society that their good days as the people of the Great Song Dynasty were gone.
From today onwards, they will be hired miners for life at the Changshengjiao Coal Mine.
"According to our visits and investigations and many screenings, everyone who can be sent here is the dross, thieves, and scum of the Great Song Dynasty.
Among you, there are robbers who kill people and steal goods, swindlers who collude with the elderly, pimps who abduct and sell people, and gamblers who gamble promiscuously......
If you record what you have done in your life in letters, it will all be some smuggling, kidnapping, and robbery.
It can be said that in your past life, you have never made any effort to the beauty of this world, but are keen to drag everyone around you into the water and become a burden to the world.
And now, the days of such mediocrity and gradual erosion have finally come to an end! ”
Lin Yuanai smiled: "Fortunately, there is also my Immortal Sect with compassion, and I am very willing to get out of the sea of suffering!" ”
"From this day on, you will have to work in this coal mine... Labor reform! Become a glorious Immortal Miner.
Rest assured, your money will be paid to your family members on time every year, and you will never be credited! ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone was escorted here in a daze, and now they are forced to stay and work as miners.
The people who can be picked are not good birds, where will they obey?
When he boarded, some people turned around and wanted to run, and some people were ready to sneak up on the pipekeepers.
There are also people who take advantage of the chaos to hide, thinking of sneaking away.
Lin Yuanai's face was gloomy, and he nodded at the Taoist on the side.
Suddenly, dozens of Taoists in charge of overseeing the work came out together, and the special long whip in their hands was mercilessly whipped on the bodies of hundreds of miners!
The scene was full of 'crackling' whips.
Each lash tore the clothes and broke the flesh.
Dozens of fierce and vicious bandits who dared to resist were whipped bitterly.
The rest are scattered as birds and beasts.
Wu Qingyun heard the wailing behind him, and said happily in his heart: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu is smart, don't play with you brainless bandits!" There are so many of us, where can they take care of it? Wouldn't it be better to sneak away while the chaos is in chaos! ”
He had seen the terrain when he came in, and knew that this coal mine was newly built, and there was not even a guard at the gate of the wall, so it was easy to escape!
He leaned over and carefully touched the gate of the coal mine, and glanced at a few people around him who were also arrested.
A few people understood and seized the opportunity to rush outside the gate!
Wu Qingyun deliberately took a step slower, and had the intention of letting people explore the way for him.
In the next moment, his eyes bulged out violently, and his face was full of disbelief as he looked at the strange scene in front of him!
I saw a few guys who had already run out of the gate suddenly turned around and rushed towards the mine again, and they kept turning their heads to look behind them as they ran, as if some flood beast was chasing them behind!
Wu Qingyun muttered in his heart.
'Could it be that there is some danger hidden outside this gate that I don't know about?' ’
With that in mind, he crept up and accosted one of the short men, who had stopped in place and gasped for breath.
"This little brother!"
Wu Qingyun's voice startled the short man, and he hurriedly straightened up, the expression on his face producing a subtle confusion.
The short man looked around, his heart was worried, and he muttered, "How can this be?" Hasn't a certain family already run out? Why did you come back to this coal mine again? ”
Wu Qingyun didn't dare to disturb him, and when he saw that his expression had recovered, he asked curiously: "Little brother, I see that you have obviously run out, why did you turn around and run back halfway?" Isn't there some danger out there? ”
The short man glared at him impatiently, gasping for breath and saying, "What, what do you want us to turn back by ourselves?" Haven't I been running out all the time? ”
"Huh?"
He rolled his eyes, and suddenly grabbed Wu Qingyun's neck in an angry manner: "You! Did you birdman use some magic to confuse grandpa's eyes!? ”
The rest of the people were all confused for a moment, and then regained their senses.
When they saw where they were, they couldn't help but feel a tingling in their scalps.
"Treacherous, treacherous hitting the wall??"
One person sat down on the ground in fright, looked around, and saw that none of his companions who had escaped with him were all here, and his heart suddenly felt as if his heart had been sucked away.
As soon as this remark came out, Wu Qingyun and the short man were stunned, and then reacted.
"Could it be that it is the ...... of the immortal family"
"Whew!" The short man was annoyed and angry, and he took two short legs and was about to run out of the gate again: "I think it's a demon!" I have strong blood, and I will definitely be able to drink away the demons!! ”
He cursed and chattered while running out fiercely!
Lin Yuanai subdued the thorns who tried to resist by force, and took a dozen fierce overseers to the gate of the village, and pointed at Wu Qingyun and the others with his finger: "The first time you escape, each person will be given thirty lashes, and half of the ration will be confiscated!" ”
"Yes, Prison!"
A deputy recorded the list of punished people in detail, and then sent someone to drag Wu Qingyun and the others forward, and forcibly pressed them on the spot to lie down, exposing their backs.
Then the executing Taoist mustered up all his strength and whipped it at them!
It rained and rained, and those who tried to resist and escape were all whipped on the first day of work in the mine.
Wu Qingyun felt the hot pain in the place where he was whipped by the whip, and there was no place where he was not moaning.
Those who have been beaten in the past don't seem to be anything now, these Taoists who killed a thousand knives even had salt water on their whips!!
Is that what the precious brine makes them use?! Ouch!!
He cried out heartbreakingly, and his mouth was full of bitterness: "Ah!! Don't dare, don't dare!! Dao Ye! Don't smoke again!! If you smoke the villain again, you will die!! ”
Wu Qingyun and more than 20 people who were caught in their escapes were crying profusely, and they were finished with thirty lashes before they were over.
At this moment, the hundred or so people finally recognized the situation and knew that the Immortal Sect was not joking with them, but really planned to use force to force mining here.
Lin Yuanai's eyes narrowed slightly when he laughed, and he looked like a handsome young man, but the words that came out of his mouth couldn't help but make Wu Qingyun shiver.
"You're smart and want to run? Very good. ”
"To tell you the truth, this place has been set by our religion, and no one who is punished can leave the confines of the coal mines. If you have the ability to figure out a way to escape by yourself, I will decide to forgive your sins and let you go back and be a new person! ”
"But if you can't escape, hehe."
"This is the first offense of Nian'er and others, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and he will be punished with thirty lashes to kill and kill, and it is just a matter of recognizing the rules."
"The second time you catch it, you will be given a hundred lashes, and you will be punished with a day's worth of food!"
"The third time, three hundred lashes! There will be no punishment for food, let you wait to be full and deceitful...... Well, it's a pity that I forgot to tell you that the clamp here is also effective against people, and I'm afraid that after you die, you will be wiped out and you won't be able to wait for the day when you do tricks.
But forget it, since it is said that there is no punishment, it is no punishment.
Lest you think that my forest prison does not speak and jokes with you! ”
Lin Yuanai paced back and forth, but saw the tiger at the gate of the village, and ran in with a short man with a confused face and a crazy scolding in his mouth.
"This person is a repeat offender, and the punishment will be executed immediately!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, two Taoists stepped forward, grabbed the dwarf's arm one left and one right, and escorted him to kneel in the center of the field.
A hundred or so people didn't dare to make a sound, and they didn't dare to breathe.
The short man was wondering why he had run back again, and he was caught coldly, and he was about to make a fuss: "What are you going to do?!" Dare to catch me? I don't believe you'd dare to do anything to me! Let me tell you, my godfather is the henchman and sibling of the envoy of Henan and Hebei Jiedu, my surname is Wang Minghao, and no one knows the entire Hebei Road!! ”
"If you Immortal Sect still want to smoothly implement indoctrination in Hebei, then obediently release my master! Otherwise, I will return to my godfather, and I will definitely beat you for the crime of being a demon! ”
As soon as his words fell, the Taoist on the other side was really unbearable, and he shook him with a big mouth!
The so-called beating people does not slap their faces, especially Wang Hao still thinks that he has a bit of identity, and being slapped is one of his taboos.
Immediately, a resentful light appeared in his eyes the size of mung beans, and he glared at the Taoist in front of him viciously and said fiercely: "You're finished!" You!! Finished!! ”
"If you have a kind, tell your name, don't kill your whole family, I, Wang Hao, swear not to be a person!"
The Taoist snorted a mouthful of thick phlegm with disdain, and spit directly on Wang Hao's eyes, covering his vision with a green paste.
The nausea in Wang Hao's heart rushed straight to his heart, where did he suffer this grievance?
was about to have a seizure, but his lower body was like a lightning strike.
It turned out that the man thought he was like a slippery leper who didn't leave his hands, and kicked him in the lower body, directly cutting off his offspring.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, my name is Jiang Zun, and the Dao number has not been taken for the time being, if you can survive this month, the sect will probably give me the official Dao name."
If you want to trouble me in the future, please take the trouble to see my face clearly, don't find the wrong person. ”
The Taoist said sarcastically, rubbing the soles of his feet on Wang Hao's face: "By the way, I accidentally spit out phlegm on your face, help you wipe it clean, but you must remember me." ”
Wang Hao's muscles were exposed, his face was flushed, and his body arched like a peeled prawn.
The pain was so severe that he didn't have the strength to refute the Taoist's words, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes like broken threads.
"Brother Dao, let's do it." Jiang Zun stepped on Wang Hao's head and motioned to another executioner.
The latter nodded, and with all his strength, he whipped Wang Hao's back fiercely!
"Ahh
The leather whip was soaked in salt water in advance, and the head was still wrapped in a small ball of iron spikes, and a piece of flesh could be easily stolen away with a single whip.
Wu Qingyun and the others were beaten with 30 whips, and their attitudes improved, which shows that the pain of this whip is quite easy to treat unruly.
Wang Hao's transformation from shouting loudly in pain at the beginning and preferring to die unyielding to whimpering and begging for mercy and crying bitterly can be called silky, and the two appearances before and after can be seen by everyone.
However, the punishment could not be abolished, and Wang Hao fainted when the hundred lashes reached the fiftieth whip.
The scum of the Hundred Dozen had no choice but to watch silently, and the overseer's expressionless face continued to whip the iron thorn whip as if he were twitching a puddle of dead meat.
After another thirty or so times, Wang Hao woke up slowly.
His voice was hoarse, and he muttered indistinctly: "Mo, don't fight...... The villain knows that he is wrong, and the Taoist father ...... The villain no longer dares to rob the people's daughters, they are all voluntary, and the villain actually did not force them...... Yes!! ”
"Wrong, wrong, the villain is forced...... But the culprit is my godfather, and it has nothing to do with me, my father!! ”
Lin Yuanai took a few steps forward and squatted down to get closer to Wang Hao, and said with a smile: "Is your godfather called Wang Deze?" ”
"Yes......"
"Then don't worry, it is estimated that he will come to be your companion in a few days, I hope you can last until that time."
Wang Hao's godless pupils regained a little sense, he looked at Lin Yuanai in surprise, and was about to open his mouth to ask what he meant by this, could it be that the Immortal Sect was going to rebel?
His godfather Wang Deze is a member of the five grades of the imperial court, could it be that they really dare to risk the world's disapproval to do something to officials?
"Smack!"
Before he could ask, the pain struck again.
Wang Hao was exhausted and fainted again.
"Well, as I thought, the hundred lashes of the second escape should be able to teach you scumbags what it means not to die."
Wu Qingyun swallowed his saliva, looked at Wang Hao, who was paralyzed on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart.
Compared to this guy, his thirty whips are really nothing.
From now on, you must pay attention to it, and you must not offend this squinting young Taoist.
This person has a thick face and a black heart, and he is especially resentful, and he must not be offended!
The first day of everyone's arrival at the coal mine passed peacefully.
After tossing these new miners for an afternoon, it was time for dinner.
The Overseers escorted them to the mine's cafeteria.
It is a newly built wooden building with two floors.
The first floor is basically a shelf, with no walls on all sides, and it is all supported by columns.
In the middle was a long table, which was already crowded with miners covered in black soot and stiff-faced, sitting upright, waiting for things to be served without saying a word.
Wu Qingyun honestly followed the crowd and roughly estimated that the number of these old miners was about dozens of people.
All of them had blank faces, and only when they saw Lin Yuanai who was smiling and grinning, would a trace of fear appear in the depths of their pupils.
Obviously, they were all trained by this young Taoist himself.
"Eat silently, sleep silently. This is the purpose of my teaching, and you must keep it in mind! ”
An overseer read the rules to Wu Qingyun and other new miners with a serious face, while Lin Yuanai and the others left them and went up to the second floor for dinner.
"Everyone remembers their seats, and in the future, they will be seated in this order, and those who disobey will be punished with three lashes!"
Wu Qingyun hurriedly and carefully wrote down his current seat, for fear that he would be whipped inexplicably for such a trivial matter in the future.
