Xu Zizhen didn't say anything. It had nothing to do with him whether the city was built in the east or west. Now he was just thinking about how to find Taoist Priest Xuanyi. If he guessed correctly, Jin Ren would not put her in prison.
That's too low level.
As they were walking, Su San suddenly whispered: "That yamen servant is not simple."
Xu Zizhen was startled and took a quick glance, but couldn't see anything wrong.
Su San said: "That person is very stable and has a sharp vision. He should be a master."
Xu Zizhen immediately understood that Su San's skills were not bad, and his vision was also high. She said that if she was a master, she would never be too low. But if she was really a master who was on par with Su San, how could she be a yamen servant? Even if she was a yamen servant.
The captain is not worth it.
Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen began to pay attention. Sure enough, he found that although the yamen officer looked lazy, his eyes passed over them from time to time, as if he was observing something. Xu Zizhen's heart moved. Could he be checking whether there were any gangsters among these sixty people?
Rebels coming in? It seems possible!
Su San was just simple and straightforward, but not stupid. He had already pretended to be hungry and weak when he realized something was wrong with the yamen servant. Xu Zizhen was a good fighter, but without serious training, ordinary people really couldn't tell his depth.
Come on, as for Xu Mo, there is no need to worry. He is just a second-generation ancestor who is just waiting to die. He has no skills to speak of and is not afraid of getting involved.
After half an hour, they finally arrived at the end of the field. Xu Zizhen looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. This place was supposed to be a lively area, but now it is in ruins. It is said to be a street, but there is no longer any street.
, most of the houses on both sides were destroyed, and many of them only had bare foundations and a pile of bricks and rubble.
The leading yamen servant stopped, stood in front and shouted a few words, roughly speaking, a new market was going to be built here, and craftsmen would come over later. What they, No. 60, had to do was clean up the place, and start from there.
Useable stone and wood were picked out from this pile of ruins and used to build Xinfang City.
The so-called Fangshi is a commercial and residential block, with shops along the street and people living upstairs. There is an open space at the other end of the Fangshi and a high platform is needed. It is usually empty and is only used during the lunar month, that is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the New Year's Day.
On the fifteenth day of the execution, to put it bluntly, this place is a execution platform.
Xu Zizhen has never seen the serious Xingtai, and today he has learned a lot. Fangshi is the busiest place in the city, and on the day of execution, the prisoners on death row will enter from Fangshikou and be escorted all the way to the end, which is the so-called
They were paraded through the streets and then executed on Xingtai. The largest number of people watched the execution here, far more than other places.
After the yamen officer finished his explanation, he sat aside and acted as a supervisor. The sixty people also started to get busy. It was still early before dark. Xu Zizhen had no other ideas. He could only mix in the crowd and clean up the ruins while grinding the foreign workers.
While spinning his mind.
He racked his brains along the way but couldn't think of a good way to save people. After all, he didn't even know where Taoist Master Xuanyi was being held when he came here this time. There was no place for a rat to drag the bastard, and besides, he only had
Accompanying Su San, Xu Mo is purely a soy sauce party and will not be of much use. It is said that there are no less than 50,000 Jin men stationed in Hejian Mansion. If his whereabouts are discovered, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings.
After much deliberation, he couldn't make up his mind. He sighed inwardly and could only wait until dark to go to his old house with Xu Mo, hoping to overhear some secrets from the Jin general who occupied his house.
The houses on Hebei Road are all made of wood and gray bricks. The bricks are not big, but it is troublesome to clean up. They have to be packed in baskets and transported out. Xu Zizhen is not in a hurry, thinking silently that Quan is left to the Jin people to dig their graves.
Suddenly, his hand paused and his movements stopped. He had just opened up a pile of bricks and tiles, but found a bloody arm inside. However, the flesh had already turned gray, and if it hadn't been too cold, it would have started to rot.
.
Xu Zizhen was in a daze for only a moment. He quickly rolled his eyes, his face was full of horror, and he screamed loudly: "Ah!"
The yamen servant was startled, and just as he turned around, he saw Queen Cang retreating a few steps after Xu Zizhen finished calling, and then she sat down on the ground, her face pale with fright. He rushed over in three or two steps, and found that it was just a dog.
With a broken arm, he couldn't help but kicked it away and cursed: "What are you screaming for? It's just an arm, not a dead person. Hurry up, don't make me slap you."
Xu Zizhen seemed to be about to cry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll take care of you now." As he spoke, he struggled to get up and moved sideways, as if he was extremely frightened, and cut the section
The arm picks it into the basket.
The yamen officer looked at him with contempt and looked away, but Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. What he did just now was just to make the bastard relax his vigilance and stop paying attention to himself. Now it seems
His goal was achieved, and although Xu Mo beside him didn't scream, he was equally frightened, with the same flawless look on his face.
And Su San had never received any attention. In the eyes of the yamen officer, she was just a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion, thin muscles and malnutrition, and could be completely ignored.
With more people and greater strength, a small half of the street had been cleared in only about two hours. However, the sun was gradually setting, and it seemed that we couldn't go on today. The moon rose, and the yamen officer stretched himself and stood.
He stood up and shouted: "Everything is tidied up, go back to eat and sleep, and start work early tomorrow."
Everyone responded sparsely, put away their poles and baskets, gathered together, and were led by the yamen servant to a house not far away.
There was nothing in the house. The sixty people gathered in the yard and waited. Not long after, several peasants came, carrying a bucket of hot soup and two baskets of steamed buns. Everyone present was given one, and that was it.
He sat on the floor and started eating.
Xu Zizhen, Su San and Xu Mo were just like real folk, immersed in eating, looking honest and timid without any flaws. After a while, when everyone had finished eating and drinking, the government servant took them to the backyard. There were two rooms with east and west wings, a total of ten
When he came, Xu Zizhen was a little surprised. The Jin people were so friendly to the people? Can they even let them sleep in the house at night?
The yamen servant stood in the yard and distributed the people casually. Xu Zizhen and Xu Mo were assigned to a room, Su San and several other women were assigned to a room, and the others also arranged their own arrangements in twos and threes. After the yamen servant made arrangements, he clapped his hands and left.
Not another word was said.
Xu Zizhen's heart moved, and he always felt that something seemed strange here, but there were other people in the room. It was not convenient to say anything to Xu Mo at this time. The two of them looked at each other and fell asleep on the floor without taking off their clothes.
Xu Zizhen didn't sleep well that night, and kept awake all the time. It wasn't until about three o'clock that Xu Zizhen finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyelids began to tremble slowly.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the house, followed by a series of sharp piercing sounds.
