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

Chapter 38 Does your family’s deity protect the spirit?
"Then just follow it first. After all, they are just rumors and cannot be true."

Min Zhong made a mental note of the Xie family, but he didn't take it completely to heart. At this moment, Manager Min didn't know how much he regretted not establishing a good relationship with Xie Yuchuan earlier.

Wu Liang is a servant of the Min family. He only talks about what he knows and does not interfere.

Min Zhong was worried that he would be robbed by the bandits when he passed Panlong Ridge on his way back, so he pulled the caravan to follow the exile team. It didn't matter even if the journey was delayed, the key was to get through the miserable bandits' den safely.

Wu Liang glanced at the two figures not far away and reminded Min Zhong: "The two people over there have been following me for a long time."

Min Zhong looked over and said with a smile: "I know they are the two little brothers selling straw sandals just now."

Dongzi sold her straw sandals and happily sat in the car with the money to get her wife. The strong Gao Shanhe followed along easily and effortlessly pushing the small wheelbarrow.

Dongzi asked: "Brother Shanhe, how far do you think Liaozhou is? When I was selling straw sandals just now, I heard them say that the place where they were exiled was at the northernmost border, Liaozhou."

Gao Shanhe shook his head, "I haven't been there."

"I heard it's so cold that we can't grow food. It's so miserable to sleep in a snow pit in the winter!" Dongzi muttered to himself the information he had learned before.

As Gao Shanhe was pushing the cart, he remembered something and asked Dongzi: "Do you still remember what Sister-in-law Qionghua said one day and in the middle of the night when she suddenly sat up and didn't retreat from the fever?"

Dongzi was stunned, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Remember! Sister-in-law Qionghua said that there will be a great disaster in our village in the future, and the whole village will not survive unless...unless we meet a noble person to help!"

After Dongzi finished speaking, he clasped his hands and raised his head after a while: "It seems to be this year, right? Brother Shanhe."

Gao Shanhe looked solemn and whispered to him: "I always feel that the noble people mentioned by Sister-in-law Qionghua are among the people in front."

Dongzi turned and looked forward, "Huh? They are all a group of prisoners who are going to be taken to the north. How can they be nobles?"

Gao Shanhe couldn't explain clearly, but there was always a feeling in his heart that told him that he couldn't miss the family named Xie.

Doesn’t their family have a household god?
We are all gods, can we also help other people?
Dongzi didn't quite understand, so Gao Shanhe said: "After crossing the river in a while, you go back to the village to deliver a message to Uncle Gao, and I will follow them."

"Row."

He didn't hesitate to do anything Gao Shanhe said.

The team was sparse and finally reached the edge of Songjiang River step by step.

When they arrived at a place with water, both the officials and the prisoners needed some supplies, but Xiong Jiushan refused to stop and let the officers and soldiers drive the prisoners forward. They had to cross the river in one go before repairing on the other side.

Otherwise, if we relax here, the prisoners will be even less willing to move, and there will inevitably be a lot of trouble. It is better to escort them all to the opposite side.

The Min family's caravan also had the same intention.

The two sides made a tacit understanding and went straight to the bridge across the river in front of them without stopping.

Songjiang Bridge is built at the narrowest place in the entire Songjiang River. It is a must-pass for many people going north and south.

In other places, both sides of the stone bridge would probably not have to charge "gate fees" like the city gates, but Songjiang Bridge does not.

The exile team and the caravan passed over the bridge one by one, and the rushing Songjiang water flowed by beneath their feet. The rich water vapor hit their faces, and the sound of the rushing river was heard in their ears, which made people feel inexplicably comfortable.

When Xie Yuchuan passed by the bridge, he saw a merit monument erected on one side of the bridge. On the front were the three characters "Songjiang River" in regular script, and on the back were the fonts were slightly smaller and engraved with several family names.

Headed by the Qiao family, Uncle Qiao Pu.

This name is somewhat familiar to Xie Yuchuan. He was the headmaster of Zhizhen Academy in Beijing. He opened a wide range of schools and did not reject poor students. He was quite famous among scholars.

When he was in the northwest, he had a friend who came from Zhizhen Academy and was very grateful to Uncle Qiao Pu.

It turns out that the ancestral home of the Qiao family is Songjiang.

He only crossed the river with a brief sweep. Behind him, Xie Wuyingzhen held the water bag in his arms carefully and carefully along the way.

The surging river makes people like it, especially a group of disgraced prisoners who have been walking for a day.

Standing on the bridge, you can hear the sound of gurgling water in your ears, and feel the cool steam on your face. Some prisoners stopped on it to feel it for a while, but were kicked off by the officer! "Don't stand on the bridge! Leave quickly!"

"Ugh……"

After crossing the river, the leading old government servant took the people to choose a resting place.

It was still dark, so the officers gave the prisoners time to go to the river to quench their thirst and get water, or to wash themselves.

Today, I have made up half of my remaining journey. Calculating the next journey, it should not delay the arrival of the next stop. Xiong Jiushan’s intention is to let everyone relax.

It is not good to be too strict. If you are more tolerant, the prisoners will be more obedient.

Where there are rivers, there are also wild animals, so you should pay attention to the surroundings when taking a rest.

Xie Wenjie patted Xie Wuying on the shoulder, "Let's go, Hezhi, to fetch water from the river."

Xie Wuying wanted to say that there is something in my water bag... She met Xie Wenjie's eyes, turned around and gently put the water bag into Xie Yuchuan's arms.

"Brother Six, help me take a look."

He got up, collected the water bags from other Xie family members, and went to the river to fetch water with several other Xie family members.

Among the prisoners, not many had water bags. Most of them rushed directly to the river, scooping up water with both hands and gulping it down.

When the brothers were fetching water, not far from the door was the unjust heir apparent from the Dongbohou Mansion who was sent away because he refused to marry the princess.

The people in Dongbohou Mansion have little contact with the Xie family.

Like Ruan Hanlin, who was exiled together, he was a scholar, and Xie Jia was a martial artist.

In the Dongbohou Mansion, there is one branch of the old family, and another in the capital. The whole family is based in the southeast. Old Dongbohou also got this title by accident. Before he died, he even mentioned it to his son.

"It's easy to get the title of Marquis, and I'm afraid it will be easy to leave in the future. Don't take it too seriously. You can't take your family back to the southeast."

After the old marquis died, the new marquis established a family, but the title was not passed on to his son, which angered the emperor. The family did not go back to their hometown in the southeast and went straight north.

Xie Wuying looked at the unlucky prince of the Hou family with curiosity.

"Dong Bohou is also very powerful. He even dared to refuse Princess Shaoyang's marriage proposal."

"Princess Shaoyang is a womanizer by nature. No one wants an outstanding son to marry Shaoyang's consort, let alone the only son of Dongbohou Mansion."

Xie Wuying nodded: "Yes."

By the river, the former young marquis Chai Jin poured water, bent down and washed his face.

He also heard the Xie brothers chatting next door.

There's no other way, his ears are better than the average person's.

Unlike the Xie family who were constantly troubled along the way to exile, the people in the Dongbohou Mansion seemed to be invisible among the team.

The other branch of the Chai family in Jingmen, although their status is not as high as theirs in the Hou family, they are worse than the head family because they are good at talking about things. They passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom directly. Now they also have their own power in the court.

Although he was implicated, he didn't complain too much because he was from the same clan. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor's anger was only on the Hou Men branch.

Before leaving, he had arranged for the official escorts to be escorted by the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, the Chai family members were treated well on the road, and apart from being tired, they suffered a lot less physical pain.

But the Chai family has a problem right now.

So when Xie Wuying and the two finished fetching water, he suddenly came over.

"Excuse me, may I ask if the gods of your family protect your soul?"
