Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 4: Empty the Marquis Mansion, eat and drink when it’s time

"Xie Jinrong, accept the order!"

Xie Jinrong and Xie Anhuai's hair was disheveled, their bodies were covered in blood, and they were unconscious. How could they receive orders.

Xie Anfeng knelt down in silence and accepted the imperial edict.

After the imperial decree, the mansion was quiet for a moment, and then there was a burst of crying.

It was Leng Luo, deputy commander of the Xiuyi Guards, who announced the decree. He looked at the people in the former Marquis Mansion and sneered, are you crying now? Did you go early?
He waved his hand and said coldly: "I ordered to confiscate my home!"

The embroidered guards, who were like wolves and tigers, immediately rushed towards the warehouse.

Xie Xiangxiang is wearing a snow satin coat with peonies and gold embroidery, the lapel is embroidered with dense patterns, a pink brocade skirt, and a phoenix hairpin with pearls in her hair, which is lustrous and round.

At this time, she clenched her slender hands and knelt in a daze without getting up. Her originally bright face was pale.

[Why did you suddenly order the house to be confiscated? Time is running out]

[Does King Xi know? Does your precious concubine know? 】

The old lady held her hand in fear: "Xiangxiang, please contact King Xi quickly to save us. You are a noble daughter of a noble family and cannot be exiled!"

Xie Xiangxiang looked at the majestic Leng Luo, gritted his teeth, and said sternly: "Master Leng, yesterday the precious concubine sent an order to confer this little girl as the concubine of King Xi."

"Your Majesty never mentioned it." Xiuyiwei only listened to the emperor's orders. The emperor said that the Xie family had 108 prisoners, so no one should be left behind.

"My lord, you can send someone to call King Xi, and you will know after asking." The old lady said firmly, "The precious concubine not only pointed out the eldest lady to King Xi as a concubine, but also pointed out the third lady to the Crown Prince Chengen. .”

"Then ask Concubine Guigui to come and tell this envoy in person." Leng Luo said with overwhelming force.

"You..." The old lady wanted to scold Leng Luo for being bold, but who dared to offend the embroidered clothes guard?

Little Shen's teeth chattered: "Mother, will King Xi come to see Xiang'er?"

"Yes." The old lady said firmly, "Prince Xi will definitely come."

Xiuyiwei searched around the house and was confused.

There was nothing in the warehouse, not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, not even a strip of cloth!
"Sir, the warehouse is empty."

Leng Luo's heart trembled, and he glanced at the old lady with bloodthirsty eyes. The old lady trembled in fright.

Lonely after the house was searched, Leng Luo's face was ugly, his eyes swept away, and he said with an imposing manner, "Hand over all the valuables on you, and only keep a piece of clothing. Don't force me to be searched."

The meaning behind the words is self-evident.

The female relatives suddenly panicked, and with tears in their eyes, they took off the pearl hairpins on their heads, the jade bracelets on their wrists, and the necklaces on their necks.

Soon, a team of escort officers came over, saluted Leng Luo respectfully, said a few words briefly, and then took over the former Wuyi Houfu clan exiles.

The leading officer was tall and strong, with a strong air.

"Listen to the Xie family, I am Li Rong, the captain of this escort. All exiles, please give everyone a moment to change their clothes and travel lightly. You are not allowed to carry gold, silver, food, changes of clothes, etc.! How dare you? Those who disobey will be killed on the spot! The place of exile, the barbaric land of Lingnan!"

After he finished speaking, Xiao Shen asked: "Master Li, my father-in-law and husband-in-law are both injured. Can you drive two carriages?"

Li Rong smiled coldly: "You think you are going to go sightseeing in exile? You are driving two carriages, why don't you carry an eight-carriage sedan? Do you want to pull another silver carriage?"

Everything in the house has been confiscated, not to mention the carriage, not even a piece of wood. When he was injured, he asked his family to carry him.

In addition, all maids and servants will be resold, and all proceeds from sales will be confiscated.

Each room stood still and did not move. You can't bring anything of value with you. When you go back to your room, you will feel sad when you see the things.

The Holy Father suddenly announced the decree, and Xie Yanyan was caught off guard.

Ancient times were different from the 22nd century. It was too difficult for a woman to leave the family and start her own business, and running away was even more nonsense.

She originally wanted to break up with the Hou Mansion openly and openly, but fate was not as good as fate. The emperor made a surprise attack and the imperial edict came hard and urgent.

We can only take one step at a time.

Xie Yanyan looked at Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu who were stunned, and dragged them quickly to the backyard, giving orders as they ran. "This journey is estimated to take more than half a year. You should put on Hu clothes and boots suitable for long distances. Bring me a pair of my brother's Hu boots. Embroidered shoes cannot be used for long walks."

"Brother, you go to the kitchen immediately and see if there are any cooked chicken, duck or meat. One stick of incense is enough to make you full."

She collected all the bird's nests, ginseng, and various medicines stored in the old lady's big room.

Seeing Xie Yong change into his attire and boots and walk out the door, she waved her hand and all the clothes, shoes, and bedding in the second room were emptied into the empty space.

The three brothers and sisters went to the front yard and handed the roast chicken and bird's nests to Xie Anfeng, Xie Ning and their sister-in-law Song Linngling.

"Eat, it won't change anything if you don't eat. It's not a violation to be full."

"Don't think so much, just go to the frontier to defend your country and reclaim wasteland for the Qin Dynasty."

Xie Yanyan looked calm, unscrewed a chicken drumstick, and stuffed it into the hands of his nephew Xie Yusheng, "Ah Sheng, eat the drumstick."

Three-year-old Xiaotuanzi was also exiled. He was wearing a small brown linen garment with a slanted lapel. The yellow hair on his head was soft and limp, and his face had no flesh at all.

Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning looked at the calm Xie Yanyan and felt reassured. Yan'er was right. It's not like they had never been to bitter and cold places. Eat!

Leng Luo and Li Rong looked at the family indifferently.

The old lady and Dafang were frightened and stretched their necks in anticipation of King Xi's arrival.

The Sanfang and other tribesmen were crying and complaining.

The person in the second room was so calm that he changed into a pair of black clothes and boots, and was busy eating roast chicken without fear.

It's inexplicably funny, but it also makes people admire it.

At three quarters of noon, the whole family left the house.

The Xie family, 108 in total, staggered along with the other prisoners who were exiled this time, embarking on a long road to exile.

Walking along the street, rotten vegetable leaves, mud balls, and rotten eggs made the once aloof young lady suffer physical and mental abuse for the first time.

Xie Xiangxiang is like a delicate peony that has been suddenly beaten by wind and rain, feeling indescribably broken.

Xie Yanyan's expression was indifferent, his sleeves hanging down on both sides, and his rhythmic strides, showing a sense of unruliness and freedom.

Xie Yanyan's father, Xie Anfeng, worked hard all by himself. After making meritorious service at the border, he was transferred back to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and became a tooth guard. Half a lifetime of hard work, all in vain.

The eldest brother, Xie Ning, was a member of the Yulin Guards. He had a promising future, but he was also implicated.

The people on the street didn't know much about what was going on in the Hou Mansion. They only knew that those who were exiled were definitely not good people. Can good people have their homes confiscated and be exiled?
Rotten vegetable leaves hit their bodies and heads one after another. Xie Anfeng, his father and his son, protected Xie Yanyan, Song Linngling and Xiaotuanzi from all directions, feeling sad and desperate in their hearts.

Both Xie Jinrong and Xie Anhuai had their legs broken by the emperor. Xiao Shen asked the two concubines to take turns carrying Xie Anhuai, and the old lady asked Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning to take turns carrying Xie Jinrong.

The old lady said that the first and third houses were both scholars, not as good as Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning, who were both military generals with rough skin and thick flesh.

Jiang Shuang cried and cried, but kept supporting the old lady, and her character as a good daughter-in-law remained intact.

Xie Yanyan glanced at her with impatience and boredom.

Sister-in-law Song Linngling is pregnant, and nephew Xie Yusheng is only three years old. Jiang Shuang doesn't take care of his family, but he still licks the old lady?
Not long after, outside the city, a filthy man from the former Hou Mansion stood on the roadside, looking back at the capital, looking sad and confused.

Exiled to the wild land of Lingnan thousands of miles away, will he be able to see his hometown again in his lifetime?

Xie Tingting kept crying: "Without any silver or carriage, how could we reach Lingnan alive!"

Other female members of the clan also kept crying, feeling tired, having sore feet, thirsty, and complaining.

The guards had serious faces and did not beat or scold anyone very harshly. They only urged everyone to leave as soon as it was dawn.

But Xie Yanyan saw the forbearance in their eyes.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, outside the city of Kyoto, there was a ten-mile long pavilion.

Li Rong ordered them to rest here.
