The people here are well-known people from Beijing, and they basically know it.
Just like that old man and that young man, they were assigned by the late emperor during the major rebellion case of Liu Xiang, Zuo Mingrui and others.
These people have no hope of recovery, so they can abuse them without restraint, and no one will stand up for them.
Just imagine, a minister who was convicted of treason and now that the new king has ascended the throne, who would dare to speak for the treason?
Wouldn't it be putting yourself in crisis?
Therefore, if officials who are exiled for ordinary crimes have the opportunity to return to Beijing, they will basically not go too far.
If you don't have the chance and don't have the money to support it, then I'm sorry.
They were sneaking around this big man, but they didn't have much impression. He was probably not a real person, he was probably a gangster who committed murder and swindled goods.
Several people looked at each other, and one person said: "I have a question for you."
The man ignored them, and just went to help the beaten people up, saying in a low voice: "Even if we have committed crimes, we are still human beings."
"Hey, are they human?" Several household heads and their subordinates burst into laughter. One of them cursed, and with a "pop" the whip was whipped.
As a result, their eyes were dazzled when they saw that the whip fell into the hands of the big man for some reason. He remained motionless and his eyelids were drooped. The whip was wrapped in his hand, but he could not move.
Several other people screamed and helped, but without even seeing how he made a move, the whips of those people fell into his hands.
Several people looked at each other, there is such a powerful person here?
Why don't they know? It seems like they need to find out more about it from their superiors.
One of them had quick legs and immediately went to ask the head of a thousand households.
The big man didn't even look at them, and gave them the whip back, then carried the few who couldn't move aside to let them rest, while he walked aside and continued working.
Seeing how secretive he was, several officers and soldiers did not dare to step forward. They knew how much they weighed, and ten or eight of them would not be his opponent.
Of course, they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Even though this guy is very powerful, he is a man of iron rice and steel. Let’s see if he eats a few meals.
Therefore, because of this incident, when noon arrived, several officers and soldiers refused to distribute meals.
Only when the coolies couldn't bear it anymore did they start dividing.
The amount of food eaten is half of usual.
The soup was originally clear and watery. It was said to be rice, but not even rice soup.
When the big man came up with a bowl in his hands, the officers and soldiers who were sharing the food looked at him with their nostrils, and with a slurp of soup spoons, they poured the porridge directly on the ground.
The big man stood motionless, with the wind blowing his beard and messy hair, giving him a silent and chilling air.
The officer and soldier couldn't help but trembled, but refused to show weakness, shouting, "The ones behind you will be knocked down if you don't eat."
Those people behind immediately crowded forward, stretched out their hands, took the gruel, and drank it quickly.
But the big man remained motionless and stretched out the bowl again.
But no one paid him any attention.
There was even a group of able-bodied coolies who came over and looked at him sideways with an unkind look on their faces.
Everyone knows that even if they are working as coolies, there are still some people who do it easily and arrogantly, and that is that group of people.
Their families are rich, and they are also part of some small gangs, or some gangsters from small docks, and they have someone covering them.
The officers and soldiers here usually take advantage of them, so they will naturally treat them preferentially.
