On the main street, there were many government officers, walking in pairs as they escorted a convict, their expressions serious. The procession seemed endless, indicating quite a number of convicts needed to be transported.
The convicts being escorted by the government officers wore identical clothing, all in narrow-sleeved short attires, with black fabric trimmed with gray margins. On their chests was a gray patch with the word "Zhao" embroidered on it.
Upon seeing the surname, Zhu Yu roughly understood the situation. She examined those being escorted closely, thinking their attire looked odd. If they were government soldiers, each one had a fierce look, and some even had scarred faces. Such appearances were undesirable for any prominent noble family, as it would be somewhat disgraceful to showcase them in public.
But if they weren't government soldiers, the conspicuous "Zhao" on their chests seemed to make sure everyone knew whose subordinates they were.
