Chapter 73 adults want big things(2/2)
The checkpoint was very simple and there were not many soldiers and horses. However, facing the army of soldiers and horses with fierce flags, they were not afraid at all and refused to let them go. Mrs. Chu did not come to greet them, but many officials from the capital came.
"Sir, it's like this. It's not a check on you, but a check on the number of people and identities." They explained, "In order to avoid spies, the government needs to keep track of the number of people coming in and out of the capital. It is not aimed at adults and does not waste time."
Well, the two adults looked at each other. Since they wouldn't waste time, wouldn't let them get out of the car, and wouldn't search them around, then just tolerate it.
After all, it is an important part of the capital.
The carriage quickly moved forward again, this time without encountering another checkpoint, but there was crying outside the carriage.
Why is there crying?
I saw a lot of people on the road earlier, and they were all very happy. As Liu Fan said, the security in the capital was gradually stabilizing and order was in order.
"Mr. Wu, look quickly." His companion, Mr. Zheng, whispered, lifting the car curtain and pointing outside.
Mr. Wu, who was missing an arm, climbed up with difficulty and looked outside. On the other side of the road, there was a group of soldiers and horses guarding more than a dozen people. They were all men, old and young. They were tied in a string with ropes. Most of them were crying.
What's going on? It doesn't look like these people are rebels. Are they spies?
Are there so many spies in the capital?
"They are not spies." The official next to the car saw them looking out and explained, "These are people who broke the law and were convicted by the government and were dragged to do labor."
Break the law? Convict? Do hard labor?
But it seems that these people are ordinary people, and some of them are well-dressed...
What kind of crime is being committed by those who fight in these troubled times?
Apart from liaison with rebels, what other crime deserves to be sentenced?
