Chapter 8 Cruel
The government officials looked at each other. They had heard of this rumor, but some of them didn't believe it.

So a yamen servant took advantage of Chen's father's daze and touched his pocket, then turned to his companion and shook his head.

Really penniless.

I didn’t expect the rumors to be true!
Thinking of this, the yamen servant couldn't help but look at Chen's father sympathetically. Although he was just a small yamen servant, he had at least dozens of taels of silver in his pocket, and he could visit Yihongyuan from time to time.

But Chen Yuan, as a third-rank official, was penniless in his pocket. It was hard not to sympathize with him.

After receiving the sympathetic look from the government servant, Chen's father felt complicated and wanted to explain loudly that my family was really not poor.

He couldn't figure out where the rumors came from. He was imprisoned for a few days, and he felt that the world had changed so much.

However, he turned to look at his daughter. She seemed to have said that her family was poor just now, and he was a little confused.

Chen Xue had already thought of the reason. To put it simply, the censor was there at the time, so she took advantage of the situation and cried about poverty to prove that Chen Yuan was not corrupt, and then the censor believed it.

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that compared to other aristocratic families, their Chen family was developed at the time of his father, and it only had a foundation of more than ten years. For the aristocratic family, it was indeed poor.

However, he also knew that it was almost impossible to overturn the verdict.

After perfunctory, everyone heard the Yamen servant's voice, "Why are you so stunned? Why don't you hurry up and get on your way."

Snapped!
As soon as the words fell, everyone heard the sound of whips.

There were hundreds of people in the exile team, and the corruption case involved not only his Chen family, but also other officials.

However, most of the servants have been bought, and only a few have been exiled with them.

Moreover, other people are not as decent as Chen Xue's family. Most of them were whipped and then inked, so many of them were supported by their family members.

Some people couldn't bear the whipping and died suddenly, which was considered a relief, and they had no chance to experience exile again.

But no matter what, everyone was shackled and had to walk with difficulty, even Chen Xue's family was no exception.

However, Chen Xue didn't want to suffer this. After all, these shackles were worn on her body and the constant friction as she walked could easily make her arms and ankles bloody.

Moreover, it is easy to get infected after being injured, especially in ancient times when there was no penicillin. Once infected, there was no cure.

Therefore, Chen Xue had to spend 100 taels of silver to exchange for weak water in the space. It was not the legendary weak water, but the name was the same.

This bottle of weak water can make an object as light as a feather with just a drop of it. It is very suitable for the shackles on her body in front of her.

Of course, she didn't forget to give it to her parents. After all, there will be more things to show in the future, which will be exposed sooner or later. Why don't you find a good reason to tell them.

Moreover, he is in another world, still on the road of exile. Only his parents can rely on him to protect him.

The excuse she made was given to her by the master. She had told Chen's mother before that the things in Chen's house were hidden by the master, and she also became a disciple of the master, so these were given by her.

The ancients were more superstitious, and it was easy to believe in those mysterious and mysterious things. Although they felt that the master worshiped by their daughter was as powerful as a god, they quickly accepted it.

"I'll forget it!"

Father Chen shook his head, "As time goes by, everyone will find that we are not bruised by the shackles. It is easy to suspect that you are women. No one dares to see whether your wrists are really injured, but I am different..."

Therefore, he would rather suffer some hardships and protect his wife and daughter. They don't need to suffer.

In fact, Chen Xue had already considered this point. After all, she would have to take out food and other things in the future, and it would be exposed at that time. However, considering that she has not left the capital yet, and the eyeliners of all parties are there, she should keep a low profile.

After thinking about it, she cut a few pieces of cloth from the space and asked her father to tie them to her wrists and ankles, where the two shackles rubbed, so as to avoid friction as much as possible.

On the road of exile, one must ensure good health in order to reach the destination.

Then, she turned to look at the maid Xiaodie who had been quiet and silent. She was originally talkative and now it was as if she was tapping her mute point.

However, it is normal to think that she is only 16 years old and suddenly her home is ransacked and exiled.

Xiaodie and the original owner grew up together and were as close as sisters. Even if she was asked to leave before the house was raided, she was unwilling to do so. Instead, she insisted on being exiled with her.

How could she treat such a loyal little girl so badly?

So, Chen Xue also put a drop of weak water on her shackles. Xiaodie was very surprised, but she was very smart and didn't ask any more questions.

"Snapped!"

"Walk faster, why are you dragging your feet!"

Suddenly, Father Chen was whipped on his back. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Chen Xue turned around angrily and saw one of the government officials who wanted to blackmail them just now. He heard them chatting before and it seemed that his name was Zhao Guang.

At this time, he had a fierce look on his face, staring at them fiercely, holding a whip in his hand, and seemed to want to take action.

"I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!"

Chen's father quickly protected his wife and daughter and followed the team. Although they were not left behind, Chen's father knew that the king of hell was easy to mess with and the little devil was difficult to deal with.

Seeing the Chen family mingling with the team, Zhao Guang's face darkened. He was Guo Qiang's man. This time he received the mission and must kill Chen Yuan as soon as possible.

Therefore, he looked for opportunities to anger Chen Yuan and force him to take action, so that he would have an excuse to draw the sword.

As the officer in charge of the exile, he had the right to take action when the prisoners rioted, so he could justifiably kill Chen Yuan and complete the mission.

However, Chen Yuan endured it, which made Zhao Guang look ugly. He had not left the capital yet, so he did not dare to take action blatantly, but the superiors were urging him.

Thinking of this, he touched the poison in his arms and sneered in his heart. There are many ways to kill a person.

"It's still within the capital, so the government servants don't dare to be too arrogant. After a while, they will get worse, so let's try to keep a low profile and don't provoke them."

When Chen's mother was distressed about the injury on her husband's back, Chen's father waved his hand to show that he didn't mind and instead reminded them.

Chen Xue nodded, expressing understanding, and continued to move forward with everyone.

The shackles on her body became lighter, like foam, so she couldn't feel the weight at all and walked very easily.

But the other people in the team were different, none of them had experienced this kind of suffering, and they were whipped again, so after a while, some people fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the yamen servants not only did not forgive, but instead swung their whips at them, telling them to get up quickly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xue narrowed her eyes. It can be said that it was the first time she saw the cruel side of ancient times.

Some things from the previous life are not useful in this world. If you want to survive in this world, you must adapt to this world.

However, before that, she still quenched her thirst first.

"Mom, let me wipe your sweat!"

Chen Xue said, pretending to wipe Chen's mother's sweat, but actually fed her a few green grapes.

As expected of her mother, Chen's mother reacted quickly. When she discovered that Chen Xue was stuffing something into her mouth, she did not suspect anything else, but immediately opened her mouth to cooperate.

Feeling the sweetness in her mouth, Mother Chen was puzzled in her heart. Where did Xiaoxue get the grapes? Not to mention they were quite sweet.

As for Chen's father, Chen Xue didn't feed him. Instead, he stuffed the grapes into his hands and let him find a chance to eat them, and then he walked and smashed the grapes.

Oh, by the way, I also forgot about Xiaodie's existence. After all, I don't know why, her sense of existence is so low, and I don't know if it's the reason why she doesn't speak.

After feeding Xiaodie a few grapes with her backhand, she walked while knocking grapes.

She has also planted grapes in the space, but it will take some time to receive the goods. The current inventory is enough for her to eat for several days...if she eats grapes like melon seeds.
