Chapter 356 The genial white tyrant

The Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty is under construction. Now the entire project is coming to an end. Workers and peasants who were collected from the people have received wages from the state and returned to their homes to prepare for the autumn harvest.

The workers who stayed on the Imperial College construction site are all criminals of the court. Using criminals as labor is the old rule of the Qin Dynasty. Although the laws of the Qin Dynasty have become much more relaxed after Hu Hai's reform, they have not benefited the criminals.

After the labor service, some serious prisoners reached the season for the death of the autumn. Originally, there was no rigid time limit for the killing of criminals in the Qin Dynasty, but Hu Hai said that the death of the autumn was to commemorate the heaven and earth and thank the harvest year.

Therefore, the autumn of the people has become the death period for these serious prisoners. The so-called death of a man is good at speaking, and the bird is sad when he is about to die. Now facing the autumn decision, these serious prisoners have given up the opportunity to go back and wait for death and chose to stay on the construction site of the Daqin Imperial College.

"Just as Xiaobai said, we will die if we die. Leaving such a college built by ourselves is worth the vain." A middle-aged man laughed and carried a bag of lime powder behind his back. The lime that penetrated out covered his exposed shoulder skin. The sun of the autumn tiger shone on his bronze skin, and sweat flowed down, causing the white ash to erode his skin.

"Brother Xiong Fu, you are not afraid of death, but I am unwilling to give up! I have never met a woman before. Do you think I will live in this life if I am wronged?" A young man said with a frown.

This man looked only about twenty years old, like Xiong Fu, carrying a bag of white gray.

Beside them, Bai Ba, who was also carrying white gray, did not say a word, and walked forward with a groan.

Xiong Fu suddenly looked at Bai Ba and smiled, "Xiaobai. You have been a general before, but according to me, you are still a young man, you have never touched a woman."

Bai Ba raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Lao Xiong, I'm going to tell you that when he led the troops to fight, he was just focused on fighting and never thought about his own affairs. He is indeed a young man."

If Li Jian saw Bai Ba at this time, he would definitely think that he had changed. In addition to his appearance, he still looked at people, and his attitude towards speaking were like a different person. He was not as sharp and irritable as before, but warm.

Xiong Fu carried the lime and walked to the place in three steps, thrusting the lime and throwing it into the designated pool. At this time, the bell for lunch break came, and the three of them patted each other's lime on each other, and then walked towards the porridge shed where the lunch was distributed.

Xiong Fu slapped his chest and said with a smile: "It's a pity for you two little kids. Xiaobai is capable. If he is lucky, it's not a joke to be a general. It's even more a pity for Xiaozhuang. I heard that you and Gai Nie have learned swordsmanship, is it true or false?"

Xiaozhuang looked at Xiong Fu and said seriously: "I have really learned swordsmanship, but I have been implicated by the master's family before I have killed anyone. I have entered the prison."

"Hahahaha--" Xiong Fu smiled unceremoniously: "I am different from you. I have never met an opponent when I traveled all over the country. It was because I accidentally slept with Zhao Gao's daughter and was greedy for a while. After a few more times, the people who were arrested took it while they were weak. Originally, the emperor could go out when he killed Zhao Gao and pardoned the world, but he was framed by those grandsons and could not be forgiven."

Speaking of this, Lao Xiong looked at the laborers in the other direction with a cold light in his eyes. They were also death row prisoners, but they were from another group. The leader was a strong man without hair, with strong muscles all over his body, and he was obviously not a good person.

Bai Ba and Xiao Zhuang looked at the strong man with a hint of joking on their faces.

"Xiaobai, Xiaozhuang, after this labor service is over, we probably should go on the road. Not to mention anything else, Lao Xiong must treat Bald Qiang with his own hands before he sets on the road. You two can stop his subordinates at that time. I only need one stick of incense. If I can't kill him in one stick of incense, I, Lao Xiong, will be incompetent." The cold light in Lao Xiong's eyes almost condensed into a steel knife.

Xiaozhuang was ready to try, eager to try. Bai Ba nodded, with a warm smile on his face, and there was no trace of coldness on him.

"You little guy, you are not kind-hearted. What I hate the most is you two little guys." The bald Qiang seemed to feel the malice of Xiong Fu and the others, and actually brought a group of people to make trouble while taking the lunch break.

Xiaozhuang's face turned cold, and Xiong Fu's fists were clenched. Only Bai Ba was still warm, and he didn't even look at Bald Qiang, and said softly: "Old Xiong, Xiaozhuang, let's go for dinner."

"Eat?" A man of big and thick jumped out from behind Bald Qiang, pointed to Bai Ba's nose and shouted: "Brother Qiang doesn't let you eat, you can't eat-ah--"

Before he could finish his words, a scream came out of his mouth.

Bai Ba's originally honest hand suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing the man's outstretched fingers, and his facial expression suddenly folded. With a crisp sound, the man's fingers bent towards the back of his hand, presenting a terrifying and horrifying angle.

"So brave." Bald Qiang's face shook, he stepped forward and said with a cold face: "The work on the construction site is about to be finished, and then it will be Qiu Jue. Our affairs will be resolved today."

"That's great!" Xiong Ju and Bald Qiang were mortal enemies. They made enemies for the prison boss, but now they have not escaped the death disaster from the amnesty. They are also considered to be a pair of brothers in distress.

"Come on!" Bald man stroked his arm and rushed up.

Before the old bear could fight back, he could only hear the rapid sound of horse hooves. At the same time, a whip shadow flew over, directly wrapping the bald man's waving arm. The whip went backwards, and the bald man's tall body flew up and fell directly behind, smashing several bags of lime, and instantly turned into a white snowman.

"Li Jian, the general of the Great Qin chariot and cavalry, was ordered to come and call people." After a silence, Li Jian actually appeared on the construction site by himself, jumping his horse and whipping.

Behind him, the lieutenant responsible for managing the construction site trotted and followed, pointing at Bai Ba in front of him, and panting, "General Cheqi, this is the prisoner Bai Ba that you are going to find, and you will be asked to kill him in the autumn." As he said that, he pointed to Bai Ba and said loudly: "Bai Ba, your good thing has come, why don't you come to see the general quickly."

Bai Ba knew Li Jian, and the two were old opponents. At this moment, he took a step forward, bowed his fists, and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Bao defeated the army, please see General Cheqi and Cavalry."

Li Jian looked at Bai Ba, laughed, jumped off the horse, grabbed Bai Ba's hand, and said, "I have received the decree from Your Majesty, allowing you to follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. This is what I wanted to come out with the yin left by my grandfather."

Bai Ba looked at Li Jian, and the warmth on his face fluctuated for the first time, and after a while, he returned to his original state. He turned around and pointed at Lao Xiong and Xiaozhuang and said, "These two people are going too." After pausing, he pointed to Bald Qiang and said, "And he is there."
