After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 100: Troublesome banditry across two state capitals

Chai Jin sat down next to his father, "Xie Yuchuan is not here. Miss Xie Er is resting with her family. I don't want to disturb you, so I just gave it to you."

"Then...you didn't ask about the medicine to cure the cough?"

Chai Jin nodded, "I'll ask again next time I have the chance."

Chai Ji's face was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much. He still knew a lot about what his son Chai Jin was doing. If he felt that the time was not right, he could just wait.

"That's okay. There's still some medicine from the Xie family, so there's no rush."

The coughing in the carriage next to her was obviously not as frequent and urgent as before after a night. It was rare for Mrs. Chai to sleep for a while today, and the Chai family and his son were happy.

The father and son were silent for a while.

Chai Jin: "Xie's medicine is really effective. After just one night, my mother's cough has improved a lot."

Chai Ji: "Your mother has an old disease that occurs every year. I wonder if the Xie family would be willing to exchange a few more pills with ours."

Chai Jin doesn't know either.

Mrs. Chai was lying in the carriage and heard the conversation between her husband and son outside. She turned to the person next to her and said, "Take out my pair of blood jade bracelets and prepare them."

No one knows better than her whether Xie's medicine works or not.

Last night and this morning, after taking just two doses, she felt that the pain in her throat was reduced by two or three points, and her energy and energy, which had been sluggish for a long time, seemed to have returned a lot.

She thought that her body would not last long on the road to exile.

Unexpectedly, there is no end to the road, which gave her a little hope.

Chai Jin specially went to the Min family caravan to change the tea leaves.

Xie Wenjie thought that the Chai family was rich and even had things like tea. In fact, the Chai family just had some extra gold and silver money on the road, and happened to encounter a caravan selling goods. It was not difficult to exchange some good things with the merchants.

Min Zhong followed the exile team all the way and had already figured out the identities of several important criminals in the team.

The Chai family was a family with special connections. On the way to exile, the Chai family's female relatives still had carriages and horses to use. Chai came in and offered to exchange for some good things. How could Min Zhong refuse?

After Chai Jin left, Min Zhong and Wu Liang also said, "The Chai family is very powerful. Others lived a miserable life in exile, but they are much better."

Wu Liang agreed, but in his heart, he actually felt that the Xie family, who always kept a low profile in the team, looked even more unusual.

After leaving seclusion, it is better for everyone to go their separate ways and go their own way.

The team rested in the tea shed for a while, but no one from behind caught up.

Cheng Ye felt that he could wait no longer and ordered to continue on his way.

There was a roar on the ground, everyone picked up their luggage and continued walking north under the scorching sun above their heads.

According to what the Gaojia villagers said before, after passing the tea shed and walking along the road ahead, we can reach the official post station in about two hours.

"In two hours, if there are no problems on Master Xiong's side, we should be able to catch up."

The prisoners staggered forward, walking on the shortcut guided by the villagers. Although this detour was passable by vehicles and horses, it was too winding and twisted, and the large group of people wasted the effort of nine cows and two tigers. An hour later, we safely arrived at the Guanjia Station near the Panlong Mountain Range.

Xiong Jiushan was not here, so Cheng Ye went to the inn to sign in.

At this time, the sun was high in the sky, just after noon.

Everyone was so hungry after walking that they finally reached their destination, and the tired people fell back on their horses.

Cheng Ye was even more ruthless than Xiong Jiushan when he led the team. He didn't even let them rest during the journey through the forest. He walked for two hours and took the team to a safe place before letting them rest.

This post at the junction of Jingwei Mansion and Gyeongju Mansion is larger than the one in Songjiang Town, but no matter how big it is, it can't accommodate so many people. The arrangement was similar to the previous arrangement. The prisoners were camped in a spacious area for the night. The escorting officers were arranged to rest in rooms in the post station in shifts. Those with higher titles had single and double rooms upstairs, and ordinary police soldiers were downstairs. You can also sleep in Datongpu.

After leaving Gyeongweifu and entering Gyeongju, the most obvious change is the temperature.

The Yi Cheng of Qingzhou Station was well-informed. He quickly received the news as soon as this group of exiles left the capital, and he had already made preparations to receive them.

When the team arrived, they found that the leader Xiong Jiushan was not there, and the person who came to sign and take custody was actually an adjutant.

"This..." The little official in charge didn't dare to make the decision anymore and went up to ask for instructions.

Qingzhou Yi Cheng was woken up just after falling asleep. After listening to the report from his subordinates in a daze, he rolled his eyes twice and said, "The escort officer is not here. How did this official business come about? You go and count the people outside and check the list. If If there is any discrepancy, only they are allowed to camp, and the procedures cannot be passed casually.”

When the clerk went down to reply, Cheng Ye understood in his heart what this Qingzhou Yicheng meant.

The number of people in the team is definitely not enough. Xiong Jiushan and the others haven't come back yet, so they can't pass this procedure. It's justifiable and it's not an embarrassment.

But things on the road are never so rigid, and there is room for maneuver wherever money can open up the joints.

Cheng Ye and Xiong Jiushan travel a lot, so they can handle this kind of thing easily.

The money was sent upstairs, and not long after, he went through the procedures on the book, saving the trouble of the adults coming back.

Cheng Ye went out to inspect the resettlement situation of the prisoners. The soldiers beside him couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that this postmaster from Qingzhou has such a big appetite. Even ten taels of silver can't stop his mouth."

"Guarding traffic arteries, greeting people and sending them off, these are all fat jobs. Ten taels of silver are not considered normal."

"I wonder if the adults can come back today."

"If we don't come back, we can't go any further. Let's just wait here." Cheng Ye said.

No one else has an opinion.

After passing the inn, walking forward is the most dangerous part of the road. Panlongling is full of bandits. How many people can't figure it out? There is no one to suppress the bandits on these two sides?

Cheng Ye had heard Xiong Jiushan talk about this matter, "The Panlong Mountain Range spans two states and is difficult to deal with."

In the exile team.

Soon, everyone settled down around Gyeongju Station.

The officials made fires to cook, and among the prisoners, those who had some conditions also began to prepare rations. Unfortunately, there is no river here, so drinking water is a problem.

There is a rare well water inside Gyeongju Station. There is no shortage of water, but it is a pity that ordinary people cannot enjoy it.

After Zhang Dayi helped the Xie family settle down, he silently observed the surrounding environment, studied for a while, and then said to Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie: "I see that the officers are not in a hurry. They may spend the night here tonight. "

Xie Wuying raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's just past noon, the ones behind are not leaving?"

Zhang Dayi stroked his beard and said, "I guess the escorts have to wait here for Xiong Jiushan and the others to come back. The escort is not there, so they dare not walk the road ahead, not to mention there are so many helpless people in the team. .”

Xie Wenjie also looked around and found that the escorting officers were indeed relaxed and not in a hurry.

"I hope Brother Six will come back soon."

After setting up camp, not long after, the aroma of rice wafted up.

Far away in the imperial city of the capital.

A figure quickly ran towards the royal study. When he arrived at the palace gate, he panted and said:
"Hurry! Go and report! Long live Qin Tian Jian has something important to report!"
