MTL - Exile the Whole Family! The Koi Girl Farms and Flies the Whole Family-Chapter 2 Arrive at Lingnan
Chapter 2 Reaching Lingnan
Zhao Xiang sighed guiltily: "Ya'er, it's my father who made you suffer!"
Zhao Liya glanced at him, feeling a little complicated.
He didn't know that his daughter was actually dead.
The whole family was originally happy and harmonious, but they didn't want a catastrophe.
Zhao Liya shook her head slowly, and smiled: "Don't blame Dad, no matter what Dad does, Dad has his reasons. Besides, everything we have was originally given by Dad, and there is nothing wrong or not. Let's go to Lingnan first, Lingnan It should be good, and we will definitely be able to live a good life in Lingnan."
Right now, I can only think so, take one step at a time.
Heart relaxed slightly, Zhao Xiang relaxed a little, his eyes lighted up, "Okay, Daddy's Ya'er has grown up and is sensible! You are right, we will be fine in Lingnan."
"Yes, I will."
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, Zhao Liya suddenly felt a sense of intimacy from the heart. Is this the instinctive power of blood connection?
She secretly told herself that from this moment on, she will be the Zhao Liya of this world! What about exile? She, Zhao Liya, swears that she will make a living in that closed, remote and difficult place!
When I started on the road again, although my steps were still heavy and out of breath, I no longer had that lifeless despair.
On the road to exile, under normal circumstances, it is required to travel fifty or sixty miles a day. This night, I spent the night at a post station in Anding Town, fifty miles away from Beijing.
The third-class steward of Duke Li's mansion really came, and with a black face, he exchanged two thousand taels of silver bills for a nice carriage, and took away Zhao Liya's divorce letter.
That’s right, the Government of Liguo has a tough attitude, only two thousand taels.
Zhao Liya's lion opened his mouth and was ready for them to bargain on the spot, so he was not too disappointed.
With the carriage and bank notes, the Zhao family was all relieved.
God knows how hard and torturous it was on the fifty-mile journey today to arrive at the post station in Anding Town. Everyone had blisters on the soles of their feet, burning with pain.
Two nine-year-old twins, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, were so tired that they cried. Zhao Liya couldn't bear it, and took turns carrying them for a while.
Original mother Deng also wanted to carry the child, but how could she bear it? When he got up, he staggered and fell to the ground, but broke his knees on both sides. Gritting his teeth in pain, he continued on his way, only to find that his knees were horribly red and swollen when they arrived at the post station.
Fortunately, there is a carriage.
Zhao Liya quickly calculated in her mind how to spend the money and how to maximize the role of the carriage
She discussed it with her parents, and then offered three hundred taels to Mr. Liu: "It's been so **** the journey, I have a little kindness, let me have a cup of tea first."
Among the officials responsible for the **** and exile, although the leader Liu Tou'er kept a cold face and scolded and forced him to go on the way, he didn't deliberately find fault or make a move. To Zhao Liya's family, this is a big deal. out of luck.
Liu Touer took the bank note with a big hand, with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say, let's go together all the way, just hope it will be safe and smooth, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right, don't worry, we are all easy!" Zhao Liya nodded with a busy smile.
Liu Touer means that as long as they don't cause trouble, everything else is easy to discuss, and Zhao Liya is right in his arms.
Zhao Liya is not worried that the **** officials will steal money openly, there are rules and taboos for each line, and only a very few frenzied people will do such insidious things. What's more, they don't know how much silver they have.
Da Qin law, to **** exiled prisoners, must ensure that 80% of the prisoners arrive safely, otherwise the **** will be punished.
Knowing this, Zhao Liya feels more at ease.
The meals provided to the exiled prisoners at the post station are only hard old miscellaneous grains and coarse wotou, and they live in dark and damp firewood houses.
If you want to eat well and live well, you have to get the money yourself.
Zhao Liya didn’t intend to be wronged when it came to food and lodging. The road of more than 4,000 miles was in the traffic conditions of ancient times.
Otherwise, even if you make it to Lingnan, you probably won't live for many years.
That night, they spent a tael of silver in exchange for white flour steamed buns and chicken soup. I spent another two taels of silver to get two simple rooms with beds.
The things in the post station are ridiculously expensive, which is no different from stealing money.
But there is no way, in other people's territory, they can only be slaughtered by others.
Their family is a criminal and is not allowed to move freely, so Zhao Liya had to beg Liu Boss to buy some things for them with money and made a list. Clothes, shoes, socks, blankets, commonly used medicines, food that can withstand storage, etc. need to be stocked.
Where did Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi need to handle these trivial matters in person? Before he knew it, Zhao Liya was making up his mind about everything on the road.
With these things, when we go on the road the next day, everyone is much more at ease.
In any case, there is a guarantee along the way. This guarantee, if nothing happens, can guarantee that they will reach Lingnan alive
Alive is the only thing they need to care about right now.
Departed in early February, all the way to the south, the weather is getting warmer every day. On the road, they watched the vegetation sprout, the mountain flowers bloom, and the green leaves and fruit covered the branches. From the cold spring to the scorching sun. The road was smooth, windy and windy, and bumpy, and finally arrived in Gaolian County, Nanjun Prefecture in mid-May.
This is the final destination of their family's exile.
"It's finally here!"
Liu Touer and his entourage returned to Beijing after handing them over to the Gaolian County Yamen, but Zhao Liya's family will live here from now on, perhaps, there will be no chance to leave again!
Following the departure of Touer Liu and his party, they are completely cut off from everything in the capital! Zhao Xiang and Deng's eyes were red, and their hearts were full of sadness and sadness.
Zhao Liya is not the original owner, so she doesn't feel that way. The two children are still young, so they don't know. But Zhao Liya can understand her parents' emotions, the capital city is their hometown.
The next day, the family was led to the resettlement village by Yu Gongcao, who was in charge of managing the exiled prisoners.
The group asked Yu Gongcao to hire a donkey cart. Horses are rare these days, Zhao Liya is very knowledgeable, and as soon as Yu Gongcao hinted, she even donated the horses and carts to the county government.
After leaving the county town, the road was bumpy and swaying, and finally arrived at the destination after about an hour.
"Here, Yancun is just ahead, go by yourselves."
Outside the village entrance, Yu Gongcao said to the village. He thought it was bad luck, so he would not set foot in Yancun easily.
"Thank you, sir, for your hard work!" Zhao Liya bent down to thank you.
Hearing her thank you, the Zhao family quickly expressed their gratitude together.
Gong Cao has no rank and no rank, so it is said that he should not be called "adult", but he is still very happy to be treated with such respect.
You must know that in the past when he led people over, seeing this desolate place where the weeds were taller than people and there was nothing to be desired, those people were all worried and even cried bitterly. Not to mention thank you, there were even some people secretly staring at him with resentful eyes—really, what does it matter to him? He's just running errands!
The Zhao family was so polite, they asked him to take a high look.
It's a pity that I have come to this place, in this life and in the next life, I don't even think about having a bright future.
