It's just that...... After arriving at the place, Chang Duan faintly felt that something was wrong.

Steward Feng was still talking to him with a smile at noon, but now he squinted his eyes and looked at him defensively: "I heard that you want to escape?" ”

Chang Duan was taken aback, but his face didn't show it at all: "Steward Feng, what did you say?" ”

Steward Feng snorted coldly: "I heard that you plan to escape with the laborers." ”

"Steward Feng, wronged! There is absolutely no such thing......"

"Really? Then you eat the dishes on the table. Steward Feng pointed to the dishes brought by Chang Duan.

When Chang Duan heard this, he didn't want to use chopsticks to eat the dishes on the table: "Steward Feng, this must be someone who sees me as unpleasant and wants to frame me ......"

Chang Duan bit someone to frame him, but he was already terrified to the extreme.

It's hard to get a good deal out of that.

If these people start to have diarrhea after eating the food he cooks, they will never let him go.

He could only find a way to delay.

Chang Duan pretended to be delicious, and tried to eat the dishes he had touched his hands and feet.

But Steward Feng brought him the dishes that he had not used his hands or feet...... Chang Duan can only be eaten.

Seeing that Chang Duan had eaten all the dishes, there was nothing unpleasant, and his face was normal, and these stewards and guards breathed a sigh of relief.

After they got the news, they were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that Chang Duan would poison them.

But looking at the current situation, Changduan should not have poisoned them, maybe someone really framed Changduan.

But even so, they are not at ease.

Two of the guards stood up and locked Chang Duan up, only then did they come back to continue eating and drinking.

"Then Chang Duan really wants to escape?"

"Who wouldn't want to escape? I'm tired of staying in this place, and I want to go outside to be chic. ”

"This person hasn't escaped before, he didn't dare to run after we cleaned it up, and now he may not know his brain clearly."

"He's a good cook, and it's a little reluctant to die, this time it doesn't matter if it's true or not, just clean up a meal."

"Keep him in jail, but don't let him come into contact with things that kill people if they eat them."

……

These people ate and drank, but on the other side, Chang Duan, who was locked up, was already extremely frightened.

If those people have diarrhea together...... He shouldn't live until tomorrow.

He wanted to see his wife and daughter, his brother and mother, but he was afraid he wouldn't have the chance.

Just when Chang Duan was desperate, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.

Chang Duan was stunned.

The shouting was loud, and it couldn't be made by a few guards like their quarry.

There are outsiders

Here it comes?

Outsiders are indeed coming!

In Daqi, the army guarding the place is called the Xiang Army, and in Hexing Mansion, there is a Xiang Army, and Jin Xiaoye's uncle cooks for people in the Xiang Army.

The people in these armies were all recruited from the local area, and military service was also a kind of conscription.

As the prefect, Governor Zhang's Mansion could not mobilize the Xiang Army, but he made up a lie, saying that Yan County ordered the cultivation of private soldiers and plotted against him.

The Xiang army has no battles to fight on weekdays, and it is difficult for the commander of the Xiang army to be promoted unless he has a relationship in the capital.

Now that Yan County has ordered private soldiers to be raised, isn't this a military merit that fell from the sky? In addition, there are several officials who help Governor Zhang speak......

According to the request of Governor Zhang, the commander of the Xiang army took people and quietly rushed to Linhu County.

He didn't act rashly until Governor Zhang arrived.

Governor Zhang's mansion came in person, and most of the things that Yan County ordered to raise private soldiers were true!

The commander of the army was fooled by Governor Zhang, and commanded his soldiers to rush into the quarry.

This quarry, a total of two or three hundred guards.

In addition to watching the laborers digging stones, these people are also responsible for sending out the excavated Kasa Lake stones, so there are only dozens of people left in the quarry on weekdays.

But these dozens of people are good hands and well-armed.

The Xiang army hurried over, and the two sides immediately faced each other.

When the commander of the Xiang army heard that they had encountered resistance, the resisting person was still wearing armor and holding a knife, and immediately looked at Governor Zhang's mansion: "Lord Zhang, I didn't expect that there are really private soldiers raised by Yan County here!" ”

"Catch those people as soon as possible." Zhang Zhifu said.

When the commander of the army heard this, he immediately urged his subordinates to go up and arrest people.

The Xiang army was negligent in training, the weapons were average, and the combat effectiveness was really not very good, but the group of "private soldiers" was extremely strong, and there were bound to be casualties on the side of the Xiang army.

But while fighting, the group of "private soldiers" suddenly covered their stomachs...... Xiang Jun was worried about fraud at first, and after going up and hacking a few people to death, he found that these people had really suddenly turned into soft-footed shrimp.

The commander of the Xiang army was overjoyed, but at this time, Steward Feng shouted: "Who are you? King Jin won't let you go! ”

The commander of the Xiang army was dumbfounded: "King Jin? ”

The only brother of the saint today was born from the concubine who murdered him, so that he was only crowned the king of the county.

Everyone knows that the saint hates this brother, but it is the king of Jin......

Although the old Jin King once leaned towards the government and oppressed Jinshang, he died early!

Before he could fight for the throne, he died first.

The emperor's hatred for King Jin is not as good as that of his own brother, whether it is for the stability of the court or out of selfishness, he should pass the throne to King Jin when he has no heirs.

Because of this, many people in the court fell to the king of Jin, and before he died, he had already begun to curry favor with the king of Jin.

Governor Zhang was afraid that the commander of the army would make a mistake, so he said sharply: "This private soldier is indeed raised by the King of Jin, but Your Majesty asked me to come to Hexing Mansion just to eradicate the power of the King of Jin in Linhu County!" If you don't help me today, Your Majesty will surely condemn you!" The person sitting on the throne now is not King Jin! ”

The emperor asked him to come to Hexing Mansion not so that he could deal with King Jin, but King Jin was not a good person, and he couldn't let King Jin gain power no matter what!

The commander of this army was excited, and shouted at the moment: "Don't talk about King Jin, even if the king of heaven is here, I will arrest you too!" ”

Steward Feng was stupid.

And the van army, which was dozens of times more numerous than them, had already rushed over at this time and arrested them.

In a short period of time, these soldiers controlled the guards of the quarry, lit torches to count the quarrymen, and brought the panicked and frightened laborers to the prefect Zhang.

"I heard that my brother is here, and I don't know if he is still alive......" Chang Zhan didn't dare to step forward, for fear of learning the bad news.

There are quite a lot of laborers, but they are not particularly numerous...... Chang Zhan looked around and found that there was no brother in it. He felt a pain in his heart and burst into tears.

However, right here, a familiar cry for help was heard in the distance: "Help! Help me! ”

Chapter 118: Going Home

The total number of quarry laborers was more than one hundred and thirty.

They'll die a few from time to time, but because they can be replenished, the numbers have been steady.

Some of these laborers, like Chang Duan, were sent by the Linhu County Magistrate or the Lou family, some were bought from human traffickers by the stewards like Li Qingzhi, and some were the farmers and fishermen who were guarding the nearby arrests.

In these days, some people who don't have land or houses will always live on fishing boats, and make boats their home. Not long ago, a fishing boat with a young couple and two children inadvertently broke into the area and was caught by the guards.

The wife was bullied, the two children were killed, and the man became part of the laborers.

Now, of course, the little couple is dead.

That man saw his two children killed, how could he work hard? He took a pickaxe to dig rocks and fought with the guards, and was directly hacked to death by the guards.

The woman who remained...... Her body was also thrown out not long after.

Chang Duan has seen a lot of human tragedy, even if he knows that there is little hope, he wants to escape.

He's scared of this place!

The laborers here also hated the stewards and guards.

After Chang Duan spoke to them today and said that he was going to take them away, the laborers were very excited.

They want to run away too!

Whether it works or not, they want to get out of this hellish place.

These people were already numb and waiting to die, but when they heard Chang Duan's words, a hope inevitably rose in their hearts.

If only they could escape......

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed not long after, and when they had finished their work, a couple of guards came to them with a laborer and asked them with a sneer, "I heard you want to escape?" The laborers were shocked, and then they were beaten in the face by the guards.

The guards interrogated them, asking them what Chang Duan had said and whether they wanted to flee with them.

The vast majority of them flatly denied it, saying that Chang Duan had never said this, but he was beaten badly, but two of them told the truth. These laborers hated these two people to death, and of course they hated the whistleblower the most.

Seeing him standing beside the guards, smiling and watching them being beaten, the leader of these laborers couldn't help but ask: "Old Gao, where are we sorry for you, you want to harm us like this!" ”

The stewards and guards of the quarry forbade them to fight with each other, for fear that they would be injured in the fight and interfere with the digging of stones.

In addition, when I came back from work every day, I was exhausted...... There was no fight between the laborers.

Of course, they don't have any friendship, they just live like a day, and they live in a muddle.

They sometimes wonder if they are still alive, or even feel that they are dead or have become livestock.

Because of this, none of them bullied Lao Gao.

Lao Gao grinned: "We can't escape, Chang Duan is lying to us!" He has lived a good life on his own, so how can he care about us? ”

"He wants to escape, and he brought us just so that you can be a target for him!" "We can't escape! Can't escape! ”
