Chapter 209 Enter Yaozhou!
Yaozhou, Tongguang Mansion.

"Snapped".

The whip hit an old man.

The old man was skinny and knocked to the ground by a whip, trembling all over, begging for mercy.

"Forgive your life, spare your life."

"I'm not lazy, I'm really hungry and have no strength."

Facing the old man's begging for mercy, the arrogant supervisor sneered and said, "Old Zhang, I know you."

"Usually when I work, I cheat and play tricks, and I'm lazy everywhere."

"You met me today. Hmph, I'll give you another chance. If you cheat and play tricks again, if you can't complete the task, then no wonder I'm being rude!"

The overseer beat Lao Zhangtou severely again, and then let Lao Zhangtou go.

Old Zhang got up tremblingly.

His body was covered with bloodstains from whipping, and he looked very miserable.

"Hey, this dog supervisor."

"Old man, let me help you."

"Don't be lazy anymore, that dog has sharp eyes, you can't fool him."

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and whispered to Lao Zhangtou.

The old man is indeed being lazy.

And the way of being lazy is very hidden.

However, the overseer still found out.

The old Zhangtou said with a wry smile: "Old Shitou, that dog thing is indeed not a thing."

"However, he may not have discovered me, but targeted me. No matter what I do, he will teach me with various reasons."

"Hey, back then he was suffering like us haha, he was caught here to work as a coolie."

"In the end, he betrayed everyone and told Wen Xiangjiao the secret. Everyone's escape plan failed, but he became a supervisor."

"It's just a dog's power!"

Old Stone nodded slightly, but did not continue speaking.

Otherwise, they will be targeted by the supervisor again.

Soon, night falls.

After a hard day's work, the coolies can finally rest.

Lao Zhangtou and Lao Shitou are both exhausted now.

The two ate some porridge and steamed buns, and lay down on the straw pile.

With the wind blowing, Lao Shi couldn't help but miss his hometown.

Especially concerned about the three children in the family.

"Hey, I don't know how big girl, second girl, and Brother Yun are doing now?"

"Brother Yun is an honest man, I'm afraid he doesn't have much promise."

"The big girl has a tough personality, but she has a hot temper and is prone to trouble."

"Erniu is a good boy, she is dedicated to taking care of the house, but her character is too cowardly, if something happens to her, she will lose her mind."

The old stone is also called Shi Xiazi.

Blind in one eye, he was originally from the Liucheng family.

Originally, I came to Yaozhou to serve corvee.

But who knew that there was a rebellion in Yaozhou.

The government was expelled, and now Shi Xiazi was also caught by Wen Xiangjiao to work as a coolie in the quarry.

He misses his children at home.

miss home.

However, he couldn't leave the quarry, let alone leave Tongguang Mansion and Yaozhou.

He even felt that he would never see his son or daughter again in his life.

After all, it's hard to keep doing this.

Maybe one day, he will die of exhaustion in the quarry.

This is nothing new in the quarry either.

Almost every once in a while, the quarry will be replenished with new manpower.

The reason is because many people died of exhaustion in the quarry.

Shi Xiazi was also able to last for a few years because of his strong body.

Shi Xiazi and Lao Zhangtou are both "veterans" in the quarry.

Under such harsh conditions, they can survive in the quarry for several years.

It is very difficult.

"Hey, old Shitou, forget it, let's call you Blind Shi, after all, you are not old."

"Blind Shi, you have a son and two daughters in your family. The son hasn't mentioned a wife yet, right?"

"The old man has three granddaughters. The youngest granddaughter is a well-known beauty embryo, and she must be a beauty when she grows up."

"It's a pity that the old man can't go back. Otherwise, the old man can let his granddaughter marry your son. After all, you and I are close friends."

The old Zhangtou was still joking.

Blind Shi had saved old Zhang's life, more than once.

Otherwise, he would be old and weak, and no matter how much he cheated and played tricks, he would not be able to live in the quarry for a few years.

"Hey, old Zhang, just like you, with a beautiful granddaughter?"

"However, this is just thinking about it. My stupid boy is honest and dull, and without me at home, it is estimated that life will be difficult, how can he be a wife?"

"Hey, if there is still such chaos, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that my old Shi family will become extinct."

Blind Shi felt very helpless when he thought of Brother Yun's temper.

Old Zhang shook his head and said: "Yeah, I don't know if we can go back alive. Now that the army is in chaos, we probably won't survive. We are all going to die here."

The old man was also desperate.

Even, all the coolies are desperate now.

It has been such a long time, and the imperial army has not reached Yaozhou.

Apparently, the imperial court was also powerless towards Yaozhou.

At least for a short period of time, Yaozhou cannot be reoccupied.

They fell into the hands of the rebels, and they had to rely on luck to survive.

"Here we are, Tongguang Mansion in Yaozhou."

Shi Yun rode a tall horse and looked at a city in front of him.

This is the city of Yaozhou.

In fact, there is no way to come to Yaozhou safely by taking the official road.

You can't get around Yuanzhou.

However, who is Shi Yun?
Since you can't get around it, then force your way through.

Therefore, Shi Yun forcibly broke into Yuanzhou, and then passed through Yuanzhou to Yaozhou.

The border of Yuanzhou has actually been deserted for thousands of miles.

The cultivated land was also abandoned.

The Three Saints Sect has occupied Yuanzhou and even operated for a few years, but to be honest, nothing has changed.

Even more miserable than before.

After several years, Yuanzhou has not recovered.

This shows that despite the rebellion, the Sanshengjiao should not be good at governance.

The people are ruled by the Three Saints, and their lives are still poor, even more difficult than in the past.

The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering.

But obviously, the people in troubled times are the most miserable.

In troubled times, human life is worthless.

If it weren't for Shi Yun's tyrannical force, he probably wouldn't know how many times he would have died along the way.

"Are you sure, according to the information, my father is in Tongguang Mansion?"

Shi Yun asked the two followers behind him.

These two attendants are actually the intelligence officers of the Dagan court.

But he was sent by Emperor Yuan Cheng to follow Shi Yun.

Help Shi Yun find Papa Shi.

"My lord, we haven't found Old Man Shi."

"However, our people can be sure that the group of people who served in corvee like Father Shi were all arrested by Wenxiang Sect and brought to Tongguang Mansion."

"As for where Father Shi is in Tongguang Mansion, I don't know."

"After all, our manpower is limited, and it is difficult to contact the intelligence personnel once. They are also very dangerous lurking in the Tongguang Mansion. They will not pass on any information unless it is a last resort."

Shi Yun nodded.

He understood the difficulties of intelligence personnel very well.

However, for Shi Yun, it is enough to be sure that Father Shi is in Tongguang Mansion with the same batch of corvee workers!

There is always someone who knows Papa Shi.

"Let's go, enter the city first!"

Shi Yun waved his hand and walked slowly towards the city gate.
