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

Chapter 6: Inside the nest

Cars and horses are approaching.

Not King Xi!

The carriage is the old lady's eldest daughter, and the horse is Xie Anfeng's colleague.

Xie Anfeng's colleague was the deputy general of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

It was hard to say anything else, so my colleagues could only console him with words such as "The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, take care of yourself." They also gave Xie An two large packages, which were collected by everyone, about 500 taels of silver, as well as some clothes and bread.

Xie Anfeng thanked him, and Jiang Shuang went to pick up the package naturally.

Xie Yanyan grabbed it and said, "Second brother and I are strong enough, so we can carry it."

Jiang Shuang didn't think much about it. The package was indeed heavy.

Xie Yanyan took the package and immediately transferred half of the money, bread, and clothes into the space.

Anyway, the package was lying around, and no one could count how many things were inside.

The eldest daughter of the old lady gave the old lady two packages, three hundred taels of silver, some clothes and some lotus leaf buns.

The old lady was dissatisfied and complained: "The husband's family I chose for you at the beginning was not only rich, but also a minister of the third rank. After traveling thousands of miles, what can you do with three hundred taels of silver? Your brothers are all members of a big family. Your father and your brother's legs are still broken, so the money is not enough to hire a doctor."

The eldest daughter said sadly: "Mom, my husband didn't ask my daughter to come at all. My daughter came here secretly. Mom, please understand my daughter's difficulties."

The old lady's face dropped: "Is it difficult for you? Is it difficult for us?"

The eldest daughter kept silent, thinking that you didn't ask for it? If the eldest brother hadn't engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, could the Xie family have collapsed overnight?
But she didn't want to say it anymore. If she went to Lingnan, she would probably never see him again in her lifetime.

Carriages kept coming from far away, but most of them were relatives of branch families or other exiled families. Xie's family room had always been quiet.

Li Rong saw that the time was almost up, so he said hello, and the other riders got on their horses and shouted: "Let's set off."

The old lady panicked now, King Xi didn't come!

To say that the imperial edict was issued suddenly, some people may not know the news for the time being, but King Xi and Concubine Gui Bao will definitely know it as soon as possible.

"Xiangxiang, what's going on?" The old lady was anxious, and little Shen was also anxious. Could it be that these thousands of miles really have to be measured on foot?
Xie Xiangxiang's face turned pale, and he felt a lot of despair in his heart. Could it be that the tragedy of the previous life was about to happen again?
After resting for an hour and setting off again, the old lady's legs suddenly no longer belonged to her. She shouted to Xie Qingmu: "Tell Fang and the fourth girl to come down and give your father and me the carriage."

Xie Qingmu muttered: "Isn't my father carrying the second brother on his back? What kind of carriage do you want?"

"You want to exhaust us to death? Your father's leg is injured. Don't you know how uncomfortable it will be to carry him?" the old lady said majestically, "vacate the carriage immediately!"

Mrs. Fang was almost furious, but she had been suppressed by the old lady for a long time. She was unhappy but did not dare to say anything. She watched helplessly as Xie Qingmu drove her, her daughter Xie Tingting, and her son Xie Yao away.

She pulled the carriage and cried: "Ms. sir, even if you don't pity me, you still pity Ting'er and Yao'er, right? Yao'er is your only son!"

The old lady shouted fiercely: "Ms. Fang, do you want to ride on this man's head?"

Xie Qingmu pulled Fang's hand, ruthlessly pulled the three of them out of the car, and gave the car to the old lady.

Xie Jinrong immediately lay down in the carriage.

The two bastards in the long house shouted: "My father also wants to drive the carriage. It doesn't matter if we carry him, but after a long time, my father's legs will definitely become useless."

The old lady always felt sorry for her eldest son, but her leg was injured again and she would definitely have to get into the carriage.

So after Xie Jinrong, Xie Anhuai and the old lady got on the carriage given by the Fang family, everyone in the third room could only walk on foot.

Xie Qingmu begged: "Mom, there's no way to sit in the carriage, can I sit on the shaft? I'm really exhausted."

Xie Tingting held on to the carriage shaft and said, "I have blisters on my feet. It's a carriage given to me by my grandfather's family. Grandma, can you let me squeeze it?"

Xie Yao also cried: "I have to take the bus, I'm tired!" The old lady shouted: "Third brother, take care of yourself, there are no rules at all!"

Xie Tingting's emotions finally exploded when the old lady pulled Xie Xiangxiang to the car's shaft: "You asked us to be filial, but you asked her to sit on it, why?"

"Just because she looks better than you and is more capable than you, King Xi will catch up to you sooner or later. What use can you do?" The old lady said without being polite at all, "Your grandfather and I are still alive, how dare you disobey your elders?"

Xie Tingting went crazy and yelled again.

There are more than 200 prisoners in this line, and each prison guard is in charge of a team of people. The prison guard in charge of Xie Jinrong's unit is called Liu Mingjie.

Hearing Xie Tingting's crazy scream, Liu Mingjie came over on horseback. Regardless of the reason, he waved his hand and whipped: "Why are you making such a fuss!"

Xie Tingting was unprepared, and the whip caused her neck and arms to become red and swollen.

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out: "You cheap slaves, how dare you whip me? They obviously robbed my carriage, but you don't know right from wrong, and you still whip me?"

Liu Mingjie was scolded as a slave, but without saying a word, the whip was whipped down all over his face.

"Tell me clearly, who is the slave?"

The whipping made Xie Tingting hug her head and huddle on the ground, crying loudly. The more she screamed, the harder the whipping became.

After a while, the exposed skin was torn to pieces.

Fang Xue hugged Xie Tingting, used her back to bear the whip, and begged: "Sir, she is a child and is not sensible. Please be kind and I will discipline her."

Li Rong came over and asked solemnly: "What's going on?"

"She called us slaves." Liu Mingjie didn't say anything else, except this point.

Li Rong shouted: "Be honest and understand the situation clearly. You are exiles and sinners, not noble young ladies. Remember your identity. If you don't understand current affairs, you will be beaten to death and buried on the spot."

The last sentence woke up all the arrogance from before.

No one dares to shout anymore.

Mrs. Fang supported Xie Tingting, looked at the old lady with hatred, and cursed in a low voice: "I don't..."

When Xie Qingmu heard it, he pretended not to hear it and resented his mother in his heart.

Why, in the carriage sent by his in-laws' family, even the third and third bedroom members were not qualified to ride in it, and all the carriages were given to the eldest brother and his family?

After leaving Shiliting, if anyone complains or cries again, all excuses will no longer be tolerated. As long as there is trouble, he will be whipped directly. If he can't stop it with one whip, then he will be whipped twice or ten times.

The people who complained the most when they came out of Kyoto were slapped on the head and face whenever they said a word.

Xiaotuanzi was so frightened that he shrank into Xie Ning's arms. Xie Lingyu whispered to Xie Yanyan: "Sister, they really all hold grudges!"

Perhaps to give them a warning, Li Rong did not arrange for everyone to stay in a hotel that night, but spent the night directly at a Tutu Temple at the foot of Yichuan Mountain.

The Tutu Temple has only one room with three stone walls and an open door. There is a gray plaque on it saying "Tugu Shrine" and there are no incense or offerings.

Jie Chai ordered everyone to collect firewood and the cook set up the stove to cook.

After the millet porridge was cooked, the prisoners lined up to get some hot soup. The soup is limited, only five or six people can get one bowl, and the whole family can share it.

In late spring in March, the spring is still chilly, and a bowl of hot soup is especially precious.

Xie Qingmu took out the cakes sent by the Yue family and distributed them to Fang and his children. Xie Yanyan took out the noodles given by the lieutenants and distributed them to Xie Anfeng and his brothers and sisters-in-law. Of course, Jiang Shuang also took one.

The old lady cleared her throat and said to Jiang Shuang and Fang: "Jiang, Fang, please hand over all the dry food and silver you received, and the whole family will distribute it uniformly."

　I’m so happy today. I saw my dearest friend Lin, Miaoyin 418, chasing after me on the first day. Thank you, dear baby!
