Outside the city of Xiamen, more than ten miles away from the city, a slender black shadow is slowly moving along the official road in the direction of Xiamen City.

When I got closer, I realized that this slender black shadow was nothing else, but people with numb expressions and ragged clothes.

Each of them was carrying more or less luggage on their backs, and they were trudging with difficulty.

Although there is generally no snow in Xiamen in winter, in this winter, a cold wind blows, which still makes these thinly clothed people shiver constantly.

Beside these people walked these servants in soap-colored clothes, although the spirit of these servants was much better than that of the people with vegetables on their faces, but they still couldn't hide the dust on their faces, and it was obvious that they had also traveled a long way.

A yellow-skinned girl of about eight or nine years old snuggled up to her mother, looked up and said to her, "Mother...... I'm hungry! ”

The old and thin mother next to her stretched out her green muscles and calloused hands to caress her daughter's little head, and forced herself to comfort with sadness: "Big girl...... We'll have something to eat when we get to the city. ”

"Let's go...... Come on...... It's freezing cold, are you two planning to spend the New Year here? ”

The shouting and scolding of the errand rang out beside him.

The mother said to the errand officer with a smiling face: "This official, we haven't eaten for a day, can you show mercy to give us something to eat, we will thank you for your great kindness for the rest of our lives." ”

"I'm ......"

The horse-faced officer was furious, and he raised his whip and whipped it at the woman's back.

only heard a "pop", and a big hole suddenly appeared in the woman's already shabby clothes, revealing her skinny back.

"Do your mother's spring and autumn dream, Lao Tzu's own food is not enough to eat, I really want to give it to you, Lao Tzu drinks the northwest wind?

Lao Tzu caught up with this mission, and he has been bad for eight lifetimes, and he wants to send you poor ghosts here.

When you get here, you'll be on the ground, but I'm still going back, do you know? Damn, I don't know if those officials will give more rewards after arriving in Xiamen? ”

Although the woman who had been whipped turned pale with pain, she did not dare to shout out because of the obscenity of this servant, but lowered her head with red eyes and remained silent.

On the contrary, her daughter glared at the official angrily, pouted and said loudly, "Why did you beat my mother? My mother didn't do anything wrong, why did you hit her? ”

Faced with the girl's questioning, the horse-faced servant was so angry that he kicked her in a heel fight, and scolded in his mouth: "Little rabbit cub, if you are blind again, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

The girl was kicked to the ground and lay on the ground for a while unable to get up, and she cried.

Seeing this, her mother hurriedly ran over and hugged her daughter in her arms, looked at her crying daughter, and thought of her relatives who died on the way, her tears finally flowed, and the mother sat on the side of the road and hugged her head and cried.

Seeing this, the people who accompanied them all shook their heads and sighed, but now they themselves are unable to protect themselves, but they can't help at all.

Perhaps the mother and daughter looked too miserable, and another errand officer on the side also advised: "The boss of the Ma family, everyone is a villager, don't go too far." ”

"Am I too much?"

The horse-faced servant snorted coldly: "If it weren't for these poor ghosts, Lao Tzu would still be drinking wine on the fire at home, how could it be like this cold wind that has been blowing for more than two months in a row." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the mother and daughter who were sitting on the side of the road crying non-stop, and he was upset and walked up to the two of them with a whip and shouted: "Don't cry damn it, howl and mourn, and then cry believe it or not, Lao Tzu sent you to see your dead ghost husband and mother-in-law?" ”

The words of the errand officer did not stop the crying of the mother and daughter, perhaps because they had lost the desire to live, and the cry of the mother and daughter not only did not weaken but became louder.

Seeing that the mother and daughter, who were as weak as ants in their eyes, dared to disobey their words, the horse-faced officer couldn't help but feel a great loss of face, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he strode over, and the leather whip in his hand slashed at them, and for a while the cries and screams rang out.

The mother and daughter, who were already very weak, could not afford this beating, and after more than a dozen lashes, the mother and daughter were already dying, and the horse-faced officer continued to beat them unrelentingly.

Seeing this, the people next to them wanted to ask for mercy, but they were afraid of the obscenity of the difference in horse faces, so they stood on the spot and did not dare to dissuade them for a while.

In the end, an errand officer couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Enough, Boss Ma, if you continue to fight, you will kill people." ”

The horse-faced servant spat on the mother and daughter, and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid of a ball, the left and right are just stinky girls who killed men and mothers-in-law, and if they die, they will die, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, and they must be killed today." ”

With that, he raised his whip again and continued to whip.

"Pimple ......"

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from the opposite side.

The horse-faced servants and the crowd, who were about to continue to whip the mother and daughter, reflexively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw a puff of smoke and dust rising in front of me, and with the dust flying, a group of cavalry began to appear in front of everyone.

Seeing the cavalry that suddenly appeared, the faces of the officers changed, others didn't know, but they knew very well that once the cavalry of the brigade ran up, any person or thing in front of them would be crushed into powder, and now the official road was already crowded with these people, if it was rushed by the cavalry, the casualties would be great.

But what they feared did not happen, and the cavalry rushed in front of them and quickly slowed down, and then stopped in front of them.

It was only after the pair of cavalrymen stopped that everyone could see the appearance of these people clearly.

I saw that this group of cavalrymen were all tall and tall, all of them were wearing iron armor, each of them carried a fire gun behind their backs, a saber at their waists, and a red cloak behind their backs.

One by one, they were riding on horses, and their faces were grim, and they looked at these people in front of them, without any surprise or puzzle in their eyes, as if they were looking at a dead thing.

Although these cavalrymen did not say a word, they made the officials and the people in front of them feel extremely panicked and servants, and some timid children even cried.

Even people who don't know how to do it know that the team of hundreds of people in front of them is the cavalry of the Ming cavalry, the elite of the elite.

At this time, a cavalryman led by a cavalry asked loudly: "Are you an immigrant sent from the Shanxi government?" ”

Seeing that these cavalrymen finally asked, one of the leaders hurriedly walked out and said with a smile: "Back to this official's words, the villain and the others are the messengers who escorted the immigrants from Shanxi, and now they are about to enter the city on an errand?" ”

"Oh......"

The cavalry led by the cavalry rolled their eyes and saw the mother and daughter who were beaten and bruised on the side of the road, their eyes couldn't help but stare at them, and they pointed at them and said coldly: "What's the matter with them?" ”
