Five-year-old cute baby: traveled back to ancient times and became a grandmother

Chapter 452: It’s not a sin for a man to cry.

They were already feeling despair, and the summons officer's words immediately made the few people who had just arrived under the tree burst into tears.

"I am the only one left in my family." The person who spoke was choked with sobs.

Once someone spoke up, the others couldn't help but start talking too.

"As soon as my parents left, I was driven out by my brother and sister-in-law. I had no choice but to join the army. I didn't expect..."

"I do have people at home, but my brother and sister-in-law are young, and my family doesn't have the money to redeem me. I'm worried about whether I can get a pension if I die like this."

The person who was speaking looked at the interrogator with anticipation. After all, the interrogator was the only one here with the title of Shangguan.

Interrogator: “Uh, this…” How would he know?

Normally, if you die on the battlefield, you will definitely receive a pension.

But this group of people hadn't started fighting yet, and they were captured along the way, so it is highly likely that they will not receive any pension.

The interrogator opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Everyone present could see his hesitation, and the sadness and despair on their faces deepened.

It’s okay for those who are alone, as they can still have some comfort, but they have no family around them, and if they don’t have any pension, then there is no pension.

Those who still have people at home, such as the one who just said that only his younger brothers and sisters are left at home, could not help but shed tears and sob, "Mom and Dad, I am useless and unfilial. I am afraid that I can no longer take care of my younger brothers and sisters..."

When one person cries, the people around him will soon start to shed tears as well.

At this time, no one cares about the shameful crying of a grown man.

Besides, isn’t there a saying that goes, “A man doesn’t shed tears easily, only because he’s not sad enough.” It’s not a sin for a man to cry…

The interrogator opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he thought of his miserable state now, his nose suddenly felt sore.

He was the only one in his family. Otherwise, he would not have taken his family belongings and banknotes with him when he went to war.

Oh, yes, banknotes.

He gave the Baiyu Army six hundred taels of silver notes. Logically speaking, that should be considered as self-redemption, right?
Thinking of this, he wanted to find someone to ask.

But when I looked up, I saw that the Baiyu Army was all dressed in the same clothes. It was impossible for an outsider to tell them apart.

There was nothing on these White Feather Army soldiers that could distinguish officers from ordinary soldiers, and the interrogator looked at them for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this time, hearing the noise, the interrogator stood on tiptoe and listened attentively.

"That's my money, my money. What are you doing? Why can't I redeem myself? I want to redeem myself..."

When the interrogator heard the shouting, he was delighted, because he still had more than three hundred taels on him, so if possible, he would also redeem himself.

However, soon, the interrogator stopped thinking and lowered his head silently.

Because the person who took out the money was a captain of a thousand men, not only did he fail to redeem himself, but his money was taken away by the Baiyu Army.

Bai Yujun's reason was also very simple: "Don't the food and drinks along the way cost money?"

In this way, even if other people have money on them, they will keep silent and hide the money secretly.

The interrogation officer quietly hid the money in a more secret place, wondering in his heart why the Baiyu Army did not search their bodies, as if they did not know that everyone would have some silver and money on them.

How could he know that after two days, these people would voluntarily hand over the money, so the people in Taohua Village would not need to bother searching them.

At this time, a White Feather Army soldier came and shouted to the messenger officer and his group under the tree, "Alright, stop reading. All of you who don't have any letters to send, follow me."

The summons officer and his group looked at each other, all nervously following. After walking a few steps, someone couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

Bai Yujun: "Don't ask too much, you will know when you get there."

One person was escorting thirty-six or thirty-seven people, and the ropes used to tie them up had become short, with one rope for every seven or eight people.

To be exact, they have been wearing handcuffs since they were captured.

The interrogation officer studied it and found that the handcuffs seemed to be made of steel, light and delicate.

This made him marvel. If such good steel were placed in other countries, they would probably be treasured.

The Baiyu Army actually used it so wastefully. I don’t know whether to say it is a waste of resources or that Taohua Village is so rich that it doesn’t care at all.

There are only two ways to open handcuffs. One is to use a special key, and the other is to have a sharp blade that can cut through iron like mud.

The summoner had only heard of the sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud, and had never seen it, let alone have it.

Even though there was only one Baiyu soldier escorting more than 30 of them, these people still did not dare to think of escaping.

After all, there were three dogs running back and forth nearby. Once someone made any movement, they would be stared at fiercely, as if they were going to pounce and bite them in the next second.

So even if there really is a dagger that can cut through iron like mud, it would be extremely difficult to escape.

It didn't take long for their team to reach their destination.

The interrogator took a closer look and saw that it was a construction site.

The construction site is very large. In some places, buildings have already been built, while in some areas, walls have just been built or even foundations have just been laid.

It was lunchtime, and about two hundred people were queuing up in an orderly manner to get their meals.

Seeing strangers coming, these people all looked at the interrogator and his entourage, their eyes full of curiosity.

When he saw the interrogation officer and his group of people handcuffed and lined up in a row, he seemed to understand and whispered something to the people next to him.

At this time, the person in charge of the construction site walked out quickly from the wooden shed.

"Coming?"

Bai Daqi frowned and muttered, "Is there only this few people?"

"This is too few. Didn't I apply for 120?" The Great Wan Kingdom has 20,000 soldiers.

The person being escorted was Bai Dabao. He spoke in a neutral voice to maintain his persona: "It's good to have someone. We are short of people elsewhere."

Bai Daqi: "Can't you think of another solution for me? As you can see, I'm under a tight deadline."

"It's not tight in any way." There are only two thousand people. Some of them need to be taken from You County and Ancheng, and other construction projects in Junji Town also need people, especially the mine, which has a large amount of work.

Bai Dabao: "I have delivered the people to you. There are thirty-seven of them in total. Once you have selected them, I will hand them over."

"Okay, okay..." Bai Daqi nodded and said, "Then give me a little more in the next batch, even if it's three, five, six, or seven more."

"Hmm!" Before leaving, Bai Dabao glanced at the wooden shed. Wow, there were chilled watermelons. It was a pity that he had to maintain the image of Bai Yujun, otherwise he would definitely eat half of it.

The interrogation officer and his entourage seemed to come to their senses at this time, and finally understood what Bai Shanquan had said before.

It's good news that their lives were not taken.

But the bad news is that they were captured and forced to do labor, and it seemed that they had no idea how long they would have to do this labor.
