Chapter 7 Exile in Yelang County

The woman next to her saw the disappointed looks on everyone's faces in the Xu family and said, "Mrs. Xu, don't worry too much. I heard a few words from the uncle. The timber case in the court has been a big deal lately, and many people have been implicated. "

She looked around for a while, and then hesitantly said: "It is said that the Yushitai was going to impeach Uncle Zhu Guo collectively. Mr. Xu... took the lead... cough... and then was..."

Grandma immediately trembled and said: "The second child was killed to scare the monkeys?"

Xiao Huang immediately flattered me: "Mom, you can actually use idioms."

It was a pity that the flattery fell on the horse's leg, and both her grandmother and second aunt glared at her with unkind expressions.

Xiao Huang shrank his head and muttered: "They all look down on me. What's so great about reading a few books -"

Xu Zhenying was helpless. This lady was quite reserved in her words. She wanted to lead by example. Wasn't she just being encouraged to be the leader?
I really don’t know how the second uncle’s brain became the official of the fifth rank.

Could it be that it all depends on Master Taishan’s support?
After knowing the situation, Lian Qiuzhi didn't panic much and saluted the lady, "Thank you, Madam Fang, for informing me."

Mrs. Fang waved her hand and seemed to smile bitterly, "No need, being in the same cell is considered fate. What's more, I'm just telling you what I know."

Lian Qiuzhi comforted him: "Mrs. Fang, don't worry too much. I don't understand the big truth, but after all, Mr. Fang is a veteran of three dynasties. After many storms, he will not be in any danger for his life."

Mrs. Fang didn't seem that optimistic, but she didn't want to say more to the Xu family, so she just said perfunctorily: "Thank you."

Lian Qiuzhi turned around, and everyone in the Xu family surrounded her in the corner, all looking at her expectantly.

Grandmother Huang was the first to speak: "From the second child's family, what does Mrs. Fang mean...will we be beheaded?"

Xiao Huang patted her chest and said, "Mother, my second uncle dared to go against Uncle Zhu. Who is Uncle Zhu? He is the emperor's uncle! He was imprisoned without even seeing the words of a third-rank official. What can our Xu family do to fight with others? My second uncle is really confused about being an official!"

Lian Qiuzhi naturally wanted to protect her husband. Although she felt that Xu Deyuan did something wrong in this matter, the so-called husband and wife were of the same mind, at least they could not be seen by outsiders.

"Sister-in-law, it is the responsibility of Yushitai to impeach hundreds of officials. Zhu Guojiu covers the sky with one hand, and my husband is only fulfilling his duties."

"Hmph, that sounds nice." Xiao Huang didn't buy it, "Then why did Yushitai arrest the second one? I just heard what the lady said. It was clearly the second one who was confused and was instigated, so he shot the first one. I still know the truth!"

"This..." It was difficult for what Xiao Huang said this time to be reasonable. Lian Qiuzhi was unable to refute it for a moment, "Sister-in-law, what is my husband doing outside? How can I, a woman, evaluate it? Anyway, the matter is over, let's think about it. It’s useless to think too much, we can only wait for the imperial edict to be issued.”

As soon as I finished speaking, someone actually came.

Several government officials led the way. They bowed their waists sideways and said flatteringly, "My father-in-law, be careful where you step. The Fang family and the Xu family are all inside -"

Almost everyone immediately thought of one thing: the one who announced the decree was coming.

Everyone looked at each other, emotions of panic, fear, and panic flashed one by one. Several girls were so frightened that they hid in their own mothers' arms. Even Xu Lezhi was trembling like a quail at this moment, without any of the domineering behavior before.

The situation of the Fang family is not much better.

Not even an hour after he was released from prison, the imperial edict came immediately.

She heard someone from the Fang family crying and shouting: "It's over, it's over, it must be the decree to behead someone."

"Mom, I don't want to die -" The Fang family seemed even more panicked.

However, Xu Zhenying actually ran forward, but was held back by Miao and her eldest brother. Miao scolded: "Others hid behind, but you ran forward. Why are you so brave now?"

Xu Zhenying didn't want to reveal his flaws so quickly, so he just explained: "I just want to know earlier——"

The eldest brother Xu Huiming said: "There is no rush at this moment."

As she spoke, the elder brother held her hand a little tight.

It turned out that Xu Huiming was also very nervous, but she was just pretending to be calm.

Gao Yamen was a tall man, and as soon as he came in, the space seemed a little cramped. He shouted: "Fang family and Xu family kneel down to receive the order!"

Suddenly, everyone knelt down with cheers.

Xu Zhenying could only bend his knees and kneel in the corner. Then he heard a high-pitched voice read out the contents of the imperial edict mechanically.

Speaking of which, Xu Zhenying had never seen what the imperial edict looked like. She raised her head slightly, but she only saw the eunuch wearing blue clothes and a slender figure. The rest was invisible.

Xu Zhenying listened attentively. She was an engineering student and was not good at liberal arts, but she still had a good foundation in Chinese, so she understood the meaning clearly.

In short, the Xu family was exiled!We have to leave early tomorrow morning!

And it is modern Guizhou, which was called Yelang County in ancient times.

Xu Zhenying didn't know the map of this dynasty, and only had the memory of the original owner in his mind. Yelang County should be in the current Guizhou area. Legend has it that the sky is never clear for three days and the land is not three miles flat.

In the previous life, Guiyang had been developed and built into an important modern city, and she had even traveled there.She is still very impressed with Qianhu Miao Village, Xiaoqikong, Libo and other places.

But in this life, it seems that Guizhou has high mountains and far away rivers and a harsh climate, so few prisoners can even reach their destination alive.Exiling Yelang was no different from death to most people in the Zhou Dynasty.

Sure enough, as soon as the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, someone from the Fang family fainted and fell to the ground. Old Mrs. Fang shouted: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, brother Yao is sick again, where is his medicine?"

Someone cried and replied: "Old aunt, there is no time to clean it up, it is all kept in the backyard room."

The eunuch seemed to have a grudge against the Fang family, and said with a smile: "What kind of medicine should I take? I think the second master's health is not good. Instead of dying on the road in the open, it would be better to die in prison and have a better time."

"You filthy eunuch, even if our family is in dire straits, it's not your turn to be a cripple to add insult to injury!"

"Uncle, don't argue with him! It's not worth it!!"

"Hey, this old man has such a tough temper - I just don't know if life can be so tough too? Mr. Fang is wise in his life, but for some reason he refuses to leave a way for eunuchs like us to survive. He has repeatedly suggested that the Chief Supervisor should be abolished. I I wonder why my godfather is very polite to your family, so he wants to kill us all..."

The uncle Fang Zhi pouted at him, "Who is Li Ping? If the emperor hadn't been young, how could the late emperor have been left alone by an eunuch before his death? You cripples, relying on the late emperor's kindness to you, have no intention of repaying you. Lord, you only know how to gain power and gain control, and you have made the Great Zhou Dynasty a mess. If this continues, the 300-year-old foundation of our Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be destroyed in the hands of eunuchs like you!"
