golden scales

Chen Liujin hid at the corner of the street, clinging to the cold wall, holding his breath, his chest felt like it was on fire. <The latest chapter of Genius Son with Black Belly Kiss> Please remember the URL of this site: .Finally, he couldn't help breathing heavily, and the white mist from his mouth rose up, forming a small cloud, covering his head.

"Here! Don't run!" Someone saw the white cloud and shouted loudly.

"Copy it!" Someone shouted again.

Chen Liujin's eyes widened in horror, and he struggled to stand up. The sharp and piercing bamboo whistle sounded in his ears.

Three officers and soldiers of the inspection department in long jackets and bamboo armor rushed up.Each of them held a wooden shield in one hand, and a five-foot-long wooden staff in the other. They wore leather caps on their heads, and they looked like menacing gods.

This kind of equipment made it impossible for ordinary people in the city to resist.Once the inspectors form a powerful army formation, they can even fight a hundred with ten.

Behind the officers and soldiers of the inspection department, there are people from several nearby neighborhoods, holding hammers and wooden pestles in their hands. They are obviously good people who have heard the whistle and rushed to support.And those who blew the bamboo whistle had already rushed to the two alleys next to them, completely surrounding Chen Liujin in the middle.

Chen Liujin's eyes soon filled with despair.He saw those people blowing bamboo whistles, their chests and backs were all marked with font numbers, and they were holding three-foot-long iron rulers in their hands.

These people used to be yamen servants, white servants, and public servants in the county... Now the imperial court has pulled these people out and set up a yamen called "police station".These policemen are all locals, they are familiar with the terrain, and they can recognize heads accurately. Once they are staring at them, it will be difficult to escape.

Seeing the people on both sides rushing over, Chen Liujin squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and shouted loudly: "I am a good family member, I have done nothing wrong!"

The wooden stick hit Chen Liujin's shoulder hard, knocking him down to the ground.

A policeman sat on Chen Liujin's back.Grab Chen Liujin's joints, pull it backwards, and quickly bind his hands with ropes.

"I'm a son of a good family..." Chen Liujin cried.

"A good family? Where's the household registration book!" An older policeman stepped forward and asked sharply, "Who is your name, where do you live, and how many people are there in the family? What do you do for a living, tell me!"

"I'm from out of town, I haven't registered yet..." Chen Liujin hadn't finished speaking, and before he had time to beg for mercy, a stone was stuffed into his mouth, which still smelled like river mud.The policeman sitting on his back pulled out a straw rope more than a foot long, and quickly strangled Chen Liujin's mouth, preventing him from spitting out stones or screaming.

The older policeman took the red seal and hit Chen Liujin hard on the forehead.Immediately, there was an extra vermilion mark with the word "refugees" on it.

The other police officers pulled Chen Liujin up, quickly slapped him all over his body, shook their heads and said, "Nothing."

"Take it away." The old policeman waved his hand.

Chen Liujin couldn't speak, he could only choke up and cry.He knew that these policemen didn't care whether you were a local or a foreigner, as long as you didn't have a registered permanent residence, you would be taken away for hard labor.

In a Town God's Temple where he settled before, thirty or fifty beggars were taken in by the police and the inspection department to check their household registration.Where are these beggars willing to register?Naturally, they were all taken to hard labor.Among them, a few stronger ones refused to accept their fate.He wanted to run out, but was shot dead by the archers of the inspection department on the spot.

Fortunately, the wall of the Chenghuang Temple suddenly collapsed.Chen Liujin just escaped with a few clever beggars.Unexpectedly, it is very difficult for this county without a registered permanent residence. I wanted to ask for a living, but when they saw him, they ran away and yelled, and finally called the police.

The original dungeon in the county has been converted into a cellar, and the imperial court has built a high-walled prison outside the city.Specializes in people.Chen Liujin was quickly thrown in, but the straw ropes on his hands and mouth were not untied.He originally thought that someone would come to interrogate him, so he could kneel down and cry bitterly, begging the Shangguan to register him with a household registration, even if he was boarded, he would not be able to work as a hard laborer.

Unexpectedly, things backfired.No one came for interrogation at all.At noon, two people who looked like inspectors came, connected the prisoners in the prison with hemp rope, and drove them out like cattle.

There were about a dozen people strung on this rope, and as long as someone walked slowly, the two inspectors would poke their shoulder blades with the tip of their sticks, which was sore and painful, but it did not hinder the way.

They kept rushing until it was getting dark, and the two inspectors stopped at the gate of a post station. , One of them said loudly: "I will spend the night at the post station tonight. Anyone who dares to speak loudly, make noise and cry, or plot to escape will be killed without mercy!" In the stable, they untied the straw ropes on everyone's mouths one by one, and let them spit out stones.Immediately, he untied everyone's bound hands, used a noose, and tied them to the manger like an animal.

Although he was treated like an animal, he had to admit that it was much more comfortable, and he could even lie down and sleep, but he had to be careful not to be entangled to death by the noose.

Hope appeared in Chen Liujin's already desperate heart. Such a crude noose could be easily removed from his head.At that time, taking advantage of the darkness, he will naturally be able to escape!However, it is impossible to go east, and it is said that it is more severe than this side.Then the only way is to go west and go back to Henan, where there is no inspection department and police.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly lightened up and was pulled over by the silent inspector with one hand.The inspector clattered and took out the iron chain, tied Chen Liujin under the eaves opposite the stable, and put a huge lock on it.

Chen Liujin fell into despair again. Could it be that these inspectors can read minds?Know that you are going to run away?

The inspector pulled out a few young and strong people from the crowd, and locked them up with iron chains.

"Keep an eye on both of you!" The inspector who spoke before said loudly: "If one of the people in the stable walks away, all the people under the eaves will be beheaded! If one of the people under the eaves escapes, the people in the stable will be beheaded!" Just behead them all! Do you understand?"

A group of refugees were frightened, and Nuonuo dared not speak out.

The inspector took out another pancake and put it on a wooden bench in the yard: "If anyone wants to escape, the first one who shouts out will have pancakes to eat! The second one who shouts will be exempted from punishment! If you are late, eat the whip with the escapee. Do you understand!"

Everyone just stared at the snow-white pancake and swallowed wantonly, but still no one dared to make a sound.

The two inspectors checked again, and just now went into the house to warm up and eat while rubbing their hands.

After a while, a skinny figure came out of the house, struggling to carry a wooden barrel, and there was the sound of sloshing water in the barrel.

"Dinner is ready." The hoarse and strange voice made people shudder in the night sky.He used a wooden bowl to scoop soup from the bucket and fed it to the men who were sent to hard labor one by one.After finishing the soup, he would take out two alfalfa cornbreads from an inconspicuous little cloth bag next to the barrel and stuff them into the hands of these people.

When it was Chen Liujin's turn, Chen Liujin almost cried again.He hadn't eaten for two days, and he didn't expect that when he stepped into the gate of hell, someone finally gave him water and corn bread.

With these two buns alone, he gave up the idea of ​​running away.

"You're Boy Chen?" The ghostly old man suddenly said to Chen Liujin.

Chen Liujin tried his best to swallow the scum in his mouth, and his eyes widened: "You are..."

"Hong Lao Qi." The old man asked slowly, "What did you do?"

"I don't have a registered permanent residence..." Chen Liujin remembered the old beggar who was with him in the Town God's Temple, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"I went to register and was assigned to work here." Hong Laoqi laughed twice in a dry voice: "No one beats or scolds, so I just sweep the floor, lead the horse, and do chores. Two meals a day."

Chen Liujin's mouth opened unconsciously, as if he heard something incredible.He couldn't believe that there was such a thing in this world.Sweeping the floor and leading a horse can give you a full meal, this is simply nonsense!

"You refused to register with me when I asked you to register with me," Old Seven Hong clicked his tongue, "at your age and stature, you might be able to be assigned to the camp as a civilian husband, with three meals a day and every other day. You can have a meal in a few days! Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity." He continued to do his errands while talking.

Chen Liujin didn't suspect that Hong Laoqi was lying.

As long as there is a little bit of falsehood, it is impossible for this old man to live to this day. (To be continued..)

ps: This chapter is to explain how the protagonist squeezes out the war potential and makes full use of human resources.Although it looked very inhumane and disregarded human rights, but in that environment, if you didn't take thunderous measures, you could only watch Manchuria's iron hooves wreak havoc.What's more, it's impossible for the protagonist to activate the halo, and all the law enforcement officers of Ming Dynasty will consciously enforce the law in a civilized way... From the present to the past, it should be so.
