68 Chapter 068, exile

——Eastern Chu State, on the outskirts of the capital.

A group of prisoners wearing prison uniforms and shackles were walking slowly on the desolate dirt road. Their hair was disheveled, their clothes were dirty, and their expressions were blank, numb, or resentful.

"Hurry up! Anyone who is going to grind and chirp again, be careful that my whip doesn't have eyes!"

A messenger sitting on horseback swung the long whip vigorously in his hand. The whip swung on the ground and made a crisp 'click' sound. If it hit a person, it would definitely bruise the flesh.

Among the prisoners being escorted were men, women and children, the oldest was in his sixtieth year with white hair, while the youngest was only a five or six-year-old child.

There were about fifty prisoners in this group, but they were divided into several groups. Everyone was supporting each other, and they were obviously from different families.

At dawn, they set off from the prison cell in the capital. It is now 07:30 am ([-]:[-] in the morning), and they have been walking for more than half an hour, but the team is still less than five miles away from the city gate.

With such a tortoise-like speed, it's no wonder that the escort officers couldn't help but wave their whips.

"Bah! A bunch of scumbags, they have to be beaten and scolded to get strong." Another guard sitting on horseback spat at the prisoner team.

"Okay, Ma Liu, these people are pampered and pampered, and they have a carriage to travel when they go out. How fast can you expect them to go?"

Another tall guard who followed the prisoner team couldn't help but persuaded Ma Liu who was on horseback.

"Hmph! They deserve to be exiled. Look at their delicate skin and tender flesh. They were all raised with the hard-earned money of the common people. These people have no good things!"

Ma Liu didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and still cursed at the prisoner team indignantly, with a fierce face and unfriendly eyes.

"Hurry up!!"

The Song family at the back of the team also struggled to walk. They were all old and young, women and children, and the only adult man was also bruised and in a coma at this time, all walking on the back of 15-year-old Song Jingze. .

"Xiao Ze, are you okay? Why don't you take the big aunt to carry it, so you can take a rest." Su Lianying followed her nephew, supporting her youngest son with her hands.

"I'm fine, I can go."

Song Jingze gritted his teeth and carried his second brother behind his back. Ever since the imperial decree was read that day, their Song family had been ransacked. Without giving them any time to prepare and react, they were seized by a group of guards. Caught in prison.

This wave of operations caught them off guard, and they were directly accused of crimes without even giving the Song family a chance to defend themselves.

Afterwards, the whole family was locked up in prison for three full days, but the second brother was taken away by the officials last night, and was dragged back by the officials until this morning.

At that time, the second elder brother was covered in bloodstains. Obviously, he was tortured, and because he couldn't bear the pain all over his body, he fell into a coma.

The hateful thing is that these officials didn't give them any wound medicine at all, and didn't give the wounded time to adjust, so they rushed them out of the capital.

Right now, the second brother who was the pillar of the family has fallen, and he and Brother Cheng are the only sons of the Song family left, but what can the seven-year-old nephew do?If you don't support yourself, what will the family do?
