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

Chapter 71 This broken team is really difficult to lead
Gaojia Village, on the east edge of the village.

The exile team of people and horses settled here with the consent of Zhenghe clan elders in the village.

Gao Shusheng, who was Li Zheng, brought some villagers to help set up camp. Basically, they didn't need to do anything themselves. They were just escorting the men to point out the suitable places.

There is a stretch of deserted houses in the eastern suburbs. Most of them are leaky and dilapidated, but they are not uninhabitable. There are also some thatched shacks, which can block a lot of cold wind and keep warm when sleeping at night.

The escorted officials certainly don't need to live here, but there are so many prisoners. It's definitely not possible for so many people to rest in the villagers' homes. The village is already taking a big risk to welcome them into the village.

No one knows what crimes the prisoners have committed.

The Min family's caravan entered the village in advance and had already finished helping Xiong Jiushan and the other officials, so there was no need for them to pay any more.

The officers and soldiers under Xiong Jiushan were very happy, and Xiong Jiushan did not refuse. In order to prevent the prisoners from causing trouble in the village, a centralized detention method was adopted. A dozen or dozens of people were divided into piles and placed in different houses. .

Those who cannot be accommodated are placed outside. The detainees have a good place to sleep tonight and are in a good mood. They don't mind temporarily letting the tents be used by the prisoners.

A few people were pulled out from the big tent and people were stuffed inside. The people on duty outside took over when the time came.

It was easier to deal with people who rebelled against discipline on the road. For fear that they would cause trouble in the middle of the night, there were also many shackles and shackles on them, and they were all dragged to an abandoned house and locked up.

The attitude towards their custody is much stricter than that of others. No matter what happens, as long as one person inside makes trouble, they all sit together. After a few lessons, there is no need for officials from outside to come in to clean up the wolves, tigers and leopards inside. The person in the same room was beaten up.

After being noisy for most of the day, the prisoners on the east side of the village gradually calmed down after having a simple dinner.

Thanks to the blessings of the villagers, the prisoners had an extra mouthful of hot water to drink tonight. They were all contented to lie down in the surrounding houses and tents sheltered from the wind and soon fell asleep.

Naturally, the main officials headed by Xiong Jiushan do not have to live with their prisoners here.

As soon as we set up camp, we were taken to the village by Manager Min and the villagers early and rested in a private house arranged in advance.

When outsiders enter the village late at night, the people in the village wake up early.

Some of the sleepy ones got up and yawned for a while. They heard people coming back from watching the excitement outside saying that they were not allowed to touch each other tonight, so they turned around and went back to sleep with their blankets covered.

We'll talk about it tomorrow after I've had enough sleep. What's the rush?

But there were also some people, knowing that there was a shortage of help in the village, so they got up to change their clothes and went to find Li Zheng.

With the caravan in front, the accommodation conditions for Xiong Jiushan and others were immediately improved. Four dishes, one soup, white rice and steamed buns were all available. Two pots of soju were placed on the dining table. The dinner was delicious. Before going to bed, Soak your feet in hot water, and the fatigue of the day will disappear.

After walking these days, I feel comfortable tonight.

Xiong Jiushan was very satisfied, and his attitude towards Gao Lizheng was much kinder, "Thank you."

Gao Lizheng said with a smile: "Adults, take a good rest, as a villain should."

Xiong Jiushan nodded, "There are a lot of prisoners, and some of them are extremely vicious, but Li Zheng and the villagers don't have to worry, those people will be strictly guarded by the officials, and they will never be allowed to enter the village to disturb the villagers. Please rest assured. But tonight is special, I hope Li Zheng can also tell others not to go near the camp where the prisoners are camped, in order to avoid any accidents that will be difficult to deal with."

Gao Lizheng and others nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, don't worry, sir! I will warn others when I get back."

"Well, that's good. We need to prepare some things on the way out of customs. Lao Gaoli and everyone will be there to help tomorrow morning." Xiong Jiushan said directly.

When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces.

With the words "Guardian in Charge", what else don't everyone understand?

Xiong Jiushan's meaning is clear, don't worry about anything, not tonight, let's talk tomorrow.

After Gao Li was waiting for others to exit, the adjutant beside Xiong Jiushan went to close the door and then turned back to wait for Xiong Jiushan to rest.

"Sir, why do I think the villagers in Gaojia Village are too enthusiastic? They don't have any ideas, do they?"

Xiong Jiushan stretched his feet in the hot water, supported the edge of the bed with his hands, and looked at the ground.

"It's indeed a bit abnormal." Another officer next to him who was still enjoying a drink at the dinner table said: "Maybe it's because the people in the caravan are more generous and they came here first."

Before, these escorting officials did not particularly like the people of the Min family caravan, so they followed their exile team.

After all, there are many people and many things to do, and it is easy to cause trouble.

But tonight everyone enjoyed a good life without spending any money. Many people showed a lot of goodwill to the Min family, and many prison officers also chatted with the people in the caravan privately.

Somehow, Xiong Jiushan could always think of the Xie family.

Probably in Songjiang Town, he saw with his own eyes how Xie Yuchuan prayed to gods. While waiting outside the village entrance, when thunder and lightning suddenly appeared above his head, his first reaction was to glance at Xie Yuchuan's location.

Really...

Xiong Jiushan felt that the idea in his heart was wrong. He could not associate any unexpected events with the Xie family.

But it is true that the people in Gaojiacun are somewhat enthusiastic.

According to common sense, people in ordinary villages would be very resistant to such a large group of prisoners and would like to let them cross the border quickly, but Gaojiacun did not.

And he didn't seem to feel much rejection on the faces of Gao Lizheng and other villagers.

It was normal for him to occasionally have a look of fear, but he found that Gao Lizheng's eyes were often looking eastward.

What is there in the east worth his frequent peeks?

Convict?

Prisoners pass by every year, and they have become accustomed to it.

With officers and soldiers in custody, as long as there are no major problems, there is no need to worry about anything.

Xiong Jiushan thinks a lot, and his natural intuition always makes him inadvertently think of Xie Yuchuan.

Before falling asleep, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. This team was really hard to lead.

Eastern suburbs prison camp.

The Xie family was lucky enough to be accommodated in a civil house tonight.

Although the house has been abandoned for a long time and is a bit shabby inside, it is much better than other houses. It is not ventilated.

Accompanying them to spend the night in the courtyard of this room were the Dong Bohou Mansion's family.

Zhang Hanlin's mother and son had been in and out of the Xie family for a long time. When the three families got together, they looked at each other and said hello to each other.

Zhang Dayi stroked his beard, sat on the wooden board and leaned against the wall, watching Dong Bohou's Chai family, young and old, coming in and out to settle down. When he finally left for official duties, he saw with his own eyes Chai Jin stuffing him with benefits.

The old gentleman's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Xie Yuchuan, who was not far next door.

He mouthed something.

"Looking at it like this, tonight is a coincidence arranged by the Chai family."

Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and glanced at the Chai family, his face remained calm and he just nodded lightly.

The Chai family came prepared.

　I felt bored until late at night (covering my eyes), so I updated my routine first, and updated it!
