Lonely non-good minister

On the white wasteland, the government officials shouted loudly and drove a group of people to move forward slowly. The group was all women. In the cold winter, their clothes were thin, their hair was disheveled and covered with filth. Their hands and feet were shackled, and their expressions were numb. , not knowing where he is going.

Before their frozen hands and feet lost the last bit of support, they finally saw a village in the wilderness that was about to be buried by snow. The village stood alone on the wilderness, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

The yamen drove them all in and found a room and locked it up. Although the house was dilapidated, it could protect them from the wind and snow. Everyone huddled together to keep warm. After the yamen locked the house, they also hid in a room.

Not long after, there was the sound of horse hooves outside. The Yamen servant heard the sound and came out. When he saw several army officers and horses, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Army."

Several military commanders ignored them and went straight to the room where the women were detained. After unlocking the door, they kicked the door open and several pairs of malicious eyes swept over them one by one.

"They are all the daughter of an official family. If the man in the family hadn't committed a crime, he would still be embroidering in the boudoir right now." The yamen servant smiled with a smile on his face.

The military commander snorted coldly: "What's wrong with the daughter of an official? A few years ago, there were even noble ladies from high families who sent it."

"Yes, yes, yes." The yamen servant hurriedly agreed. Seeing the military commander reaching out, he hurriedly handed over the official document: "According to the usual practice, they have been deregistered, and even the Tingwei Mansion cannot find out."

"There are no people seeking death on the way this time?" Army Sima glanced sideways, meaningfully.

The yamen servant licked his face and smiled: "We have come this far, why should we pay attention to those things? If we can survive, it will be enough."

The military commander read the official document and went to another room to hand over the seal. Several other military commanders leaned against the door and looked at them with critical eyes, commenting on them as if they were buying something.

With such an offensive move, no one can guess what these people are going to do with them, but they are unable to resist. From the day of their exile, their fate has been determined, so they have suffered torture and humiliation along the way. I also endured it one by one.

"Okay." The military Sima outside had already finished the handover with the Yamen servants, and the sound of conversation blew into the house along with the wind and snow: "The wind and snow are too heavy today, we will set off tomorrow. Tonight, brothers, let's rest here for the night. .”

As soon as they finished speaking, several people burst into laughter. The yamen servant stood aside and did not respond, and only dared to show a contemptuous expression by turning his face away.

Before their laughter subsided, someone else rushed in on horseback. The military commander and the government officials were both stunned. Only when they saw that the person leading the way was the government servant who was escorting the prisoners together did their nervous expressions relax a little.

"Have the official documents been sent?" The Yamen servant who was following the army Sima stood up and asked.

The officer leading the way didn't dare to say anything. He got off his horse and came to them with a troubled expression. He kept gesturing backwards, almost saying "something bad is going to happen" was written on his face.

Wei Yan drove his horse forward, glanced at them coldly and said loudly: "The Governor has ordered that 28 exiled female relatives be brought back to the Xiping County Yamen Prison for temporary custody. No one can do anything without the approval of the Governor." Assign placement.”

He came to rob people, but the military commander naturally refused to agree, and someone immediately stood up: "Exile is not a civil matter, what does the governor have to do?"

"According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, exile is not directly under the jurisdiction of the military. It is handed over to the local county captains to investigate the crimes and then deal with them according to the law. The governor is in charge of civil affairs, but has the power to supervise the judiciary." Wei Yan said with great enthusiasm: " Naturally, we have the right to deal with the issue of exile."

The Army Sima still refused to give in: "The official document has been handed over to the commander. If the governor has any doubts, please report to the commander. We will only listen to the commander's arrangements." "The governor is in the commander's residence." Wei Yan glanced at them: "Let them go quickly. "

As soon as he gave the order, all the government servants he brought dismounted and came forward. The military commander wanted to argue, but was hurriedly stopped by the people around him.

Who in the entire northwest doesn't know that the Governor is the current Ninth Prince, and that he and their coach are brothers. This is a matter between the two brothers, and neither of them can afford to offend them. It's better to accept this kind of thing, and they are the ones who are unlucky if they take it too seriously.

The yamen officer opened the door, looked at the room full of people, took out official documents and began to count the people. After confirming that all 28 women were there, he asked them to leave immediately.

At Song Fu's Mansion, it was already dark when he came back from outside. The Prime Minister of Xiping County had been waiting at the palace for a long time. As soon as they met, he said: "Sir, the person responsible for escorting the exiled people this year has arrived."

"Yeah." Song Fu was very tired and really didn't want to talk: "Let's just arrange it how it was originally arranged."

The Prime Minister of Xiping County looked troubled: "They mistakenly sent the official document to the governor."

Song Fu held up the tea cup and looked at Jun Cheng: "How could he do such a stupid thing? Did he ask?"

"The governor pressed forward with the inquiry. It was the first time for the escorting yamen officer to do such an errand. He was frightened and confessed. The governor had already ordered people to bring everyone back to the yamen and temporarily imprison them in prison."

Song Fu was not in the mood to drink tea anymore. He put down the tea cup and sighed deeply.

The matter of disposing of the exiled female relatives was decided in private, and no one would talk about it openly. Song Yuan stepped in and had to explain to her. Song Fu really had a headache.

Although they had little contact with each other, Song Yuan was a stubborn person, and it was not easy at all to communicate with her about such matters.

"Sir, it is not a bad thing for the governor to ask for things to be done according to the laws of Wei, but this kind of thing has been decided from the beginning and affects the morale of the army. If you explain it carefully, the governor will understand." Xiping Juncheng was very optimistic: "It's all sin. The members of my family are exiled here again, and even if they are dealt with according to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, they will not end well."

Song Fu didn't say anything, and Song Yuan came while he was still thinking.

Her face turned pale and she looked listlessly without much energy. Only her eyes were exceptionally clear. She glanced at Xiping Juncheng and then looked at Song Fu seriously.

"Fifth brother."

Song Fu calmed down and said, "You're still sick, why did you run out? Looking so weak, is it because you didn't take the doctor's medicine well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. I'm feeling much better." Song Yuan sat down and said, "This morning, an official document was delivered to me by mistake. Only when I read it did I realize that it was for Fifth Brother, but I saw what was written on it. , I felt that maybe the Tingwei Mansion didn’t make it clear when transferring the prisoner, so I temporarily detained him in prison.”

She took the initiative to come over to talk about the matter. Seeing that Song Fu had no intention of speaking, the Prime Minister of Xiping County wanted to speak for him. Unexpectedly, Song Yuan did not give him a chance and continued: "I remember that women are not allowed to enter without permission in the army, so in I wonder if the officer who handed over the prisoners was confused and reversed the list of men and women. I saw that the official document said that men were guilty of crimes and women were sitting together. In this case, the ones who were sent to the army and sentenced to hard labor were considered to be men. How could they be women? Woolen cloth?"
