Zhuzi and a group of people were sent to a wilderness.
They were led here with ropes, looking at the boundless wild land with bewildered expressions.
Not far away, there was a group of people working enthusiastically.
Seeing them, someone immediately came over to lead them and, seeing the ropes on their hands, asked, "Are they offenders?"
"Yes, they are all offenders."
"What did they do?"
"This one, this one, and these two were lazy and sly, these three stole, and those three were troublemakers who initiated fights, all sentenced to ten months of labor reform." This was a new rule set by Zhao Hanzhang's county government.
All offenders, as long as it wasn't a matter of life and death, were to be switched from surveillance to labor reform, judged according to severity.
Severe cases still needed monitoring, while minor ones did not.
Zhuzi's offense fell into the category not needing supervision.
