Rain in Daze Township

A petty official who knew that "you will not be killed if you miss the deadline" lived a life enveloped in a torrent of lies. In the spring of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin, Zhao Jia, the clerk of Yangwu County, copied the newly issued "Corporate Code" and saw a line - "Water and rain will eliminate prosperity." If it rains and delays collection, there will be no penalty. In the autumn of the same year, he was sent to escort 900 garrison soldiers to Lishan Mountain to build the imperial mausoleum, and was trapped in Daze Township. The commander of the village, Chen Sheng, climbed up and raised his arms, shouting "If you miss the deadline, you will be killed." Zhao Jia knew this was false. He opened his mouth to shout, but Wu Guang's hand held his shoulder. Nine hundred pairs of eyes looked at him in the rain. He fell silent. From then on, he was included in an ever-growing team, from Yangxiayi to Zhixian, and from Chenxian to Xiachengfu. He served as Zhang Chu's journal, drafting messages, writing notices, and recording his experiences. He lived with two sets of pen and ink - one set for others to read, and the other hidden in bamboo slips for himself to read. A story about the silent one. In every era there are people who know the truth, but not everyone tells it.
