Gongsun Baoyue suppressed the turbulent emotions, and for the first time seriously looked at the woman in front of her who was about the same age as herself.

She was wearing a short jacket with exposed arms on her upper body, overalls on her lower body, leather boots on her feet, and her hair was combed into a high ponytail. This style was so unique among girls in the northern capital.

Before meeting Xu Yue, Gongsun Baoyue didn't know that a woman could show so much skin in front of outsiders without being arrested and locked up in the ancestral hall.

The glaring sunlight from outside came in, forming a circle of light behind Xu Yue, and Gongsun Baoyue suddenly realized clearly that the new world and new rules were rushing towards her without any warning, without any warning!

Looking down at the paper full of words in front of her, she could recognize the words on it, which were the simplified characters specially used by Xu Jiajun.

Gongsun Baoyue knew and didn't know Xu Jiajun, the most powerful enemy.

She recognized their writing, knew some of their ways of doing things, and had some awareness of their military strength.

But more rules, such as the piece of paper representing Xu Jiajun's laws, was the first time she knew about it.

Gongsun Baoyue didn't know what kind of torture she was about to suffer, but based on her knowledge of the mine, this labor reform would never be an easy job.

Maybe, she will die there, quietly.

It doesn't make any difference whether you sign it or not.

Gongsun Baoyue twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically. With a woman like Xu Yue around, she had to sign if she didn't.

"Hands are tied, how can I sign?!" She was full of resentment as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xu Yue was not annoyed, raised her eyebrows, and turned around to help her untie the rope on her body. Just before Gongsun Baoyue was secretly about to make a move, she made two "clicks" and firmly cuffed her hands. in front of you.

Handing over the charcoal pencil, he helped the unbelievable Gongsun Baoyue to hold it steady. Xu Yue pointed to the place where he wanted to sign, "Sign here."

Gongsun Baoyue took a deep breath, stabilized her trembling fingers, and wrote down her name quickly.

White paper has only become popular in recent years and people are willing to use it for writing. Gongsun Baoyue not only writes well with soft pens, but also uses a carving knife. The hard pens on the paper are surprisingly good.

Xu Yue picked up the pleading paper and looked at it for a while, feeling even more satisfied.

It is good to be able to write, and there are many jobs that can be done.

"Let's go, I just want to go out, I will give you a ride along the way, after I go in, I will reform myself and strive to be a good person in my next life."

Xu Yue walked ahead without looking back at Gongsun Baoyue's ashen face.

Gongsun Baoyue followed Xu Yue with resentment, thinking about the crimes listed on the pleadings while walking.

What made Bingzhou's drought intensify, people were exiled, and there were countless casualties.

Indulging his subordinates in the palace to use torture privately, resulting in the death of twelve innocent merchants in prison.

And contrary to the principles of ethics, he forced marriage for a pair of cousins, which made the woman pregnant with a deformed fetus and eventually both mother and child died.

This is nothing, the section marked in red writes that she is a queen and a mother of the world, but she does not do anything for the people, increasing taxes, heavy corvees, and wasting money.

Gongsun Baoyue recognized the latter item, because as early as when Zhao Yuanji wanted to imitate Xu Jiajun to build cement roads, she guessed how the world would scold her.

But for the first few items, she really felt wronged.

The drought wasn't something she could save if she wanted to, and the refugees couldn't be appeased if she said so. All these measures were the result of discussions between the court officials and Zhao Yuanji.

And she just didn't do anything, is that also wrong?
The matter of the cousins ​​is even more ridiculous. She doesn't remember when she pointed out the marriage to such a couple. If it wasn't for the detailed date written on the pleadings, she wouldn't know. What the married woman wants to match is a pair of cousins ​​who don't live in five clothes.

Of course, even if he remembered it now, Gongsun Baoyue felt very speechless.

Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for major families to consolidate their relationship and join forces.

This person has always been married in the same circle, so it is very common for the next generation to get married.

How could it be wrong to put it here with her?Five years in prison?

As for the connivance of the palace servants to use torture privately, it's just a dozen merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the lowest rank, she is a dignified queen, so what if she let her subordinates deal with a few people?
Gongsun Baoyue felt that she had died wrongfully, but in the final analysis, she did not die.

Xu Jiajun didn't kill her, but threw her to the mine for some kind of labor reform. Could it be that he didn't dare to kill her?

Xu Yue turned her head and glanced at Gongsun Baoyue, and knew that the girl's mind had been poisoned, and it was indeed the most correct decision to let her go to labor reform!
When the two walked out of the Captain's Mansion, Gongsun Baoyue realized that the outside had changed drastically.

There are people everywhere along the street, and at a glance, there is a piece of turmeric, all Xu Jiajun soldiers wearing the same uniform.

It's already hot in April, and when the sun is at its heaviest during the day, even wearing single clothes feels hot.

These Xu Jiajun's military uniforms should be two sets together. Inside is a short-sleeved blouse (shirt) with a folded collar exactly the same as Xu Yue's, and on the outside is Xu Jiajun's famous four-pocket narrow-sleeved button-up button-down shirt.

He wears trousers with a bag on his trousers, and a two-finger-wide belt with a buckle on his waist. There are daggers, ropes, water bottles and other items pinned to him, and he can take them out whenever he needs them.

These are the Xu family soldiers walking around the city, and the soldiers of the Xu family army who stick to the important entrances and exits wear a light leather armor on top of the original six bags.

If you see someone in armor, you can tell at a glance that the other party has an extraordinary status in the Xu family army, at least he is a general.

Gongsun Baoyue had just walked out of the Captain's Mansion, but she couldn't tell the difference between men and women under the same uniforms of Xu's army, but when she walked to the street, she was very close, and she was surprised to find that among the soldiers of Xu's army on the street, there were five or six out of ten. All are women.

These female soldiers had the same short hair as the male soldiers, the longest not reaching the shoulders, and the shortest had their heads shaved.

Gongsun Baoyue was shocked, she couldn't move her eyes from the bald female soldier, and almost bumped into Xu Yue who stopped suddenly in front of her.

"Have you ever seen a girl with a bald head?" Xu Yue asked curiously.

Gongsun Baoyue swallowed, seeing Xu Yue's eyes, she was finally willing to look away, and proudly said with the corners of her mouth twitching:
"Captain Xu, have you ever heard of Kun (kun) punishment?"

Of course Xu Yue had heard of it. It was the punishment of shaving people bald or cropped. For the people at that time, it was a kind of torture.

"It's good to know." Gongsun Baoyue snorted coldly.She raised her chin slightly, indicating that she had seen bald heads before, she was not surprised at all!
Xu Yue kindly reminded her: "You also have to cut your hair short, there is no condition for you to keep such long hair every day in the prison."

Seeing the other party's face suddenly changed because of her words, Xu Yue was satisfied and continued to walk forward.
