MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 8 cruel
Chapter 8 Cruelty
The government officials looked at each other. It was not that they had not heard of this rumor, but some of them did not believe it.
So a yamen servant took advantage of Chen's father's daze and touched his pocket, then turned to his companion and shook his head.
Really penniless.
I didn’t expect the rumors to be true!
Thinking of this, the yamen servant couldn't help but look at Chen's father sympathetically. Although he was just a small yamen servant, he had at least dozens of taels of silver in his pocket, and he could visit Yihongyuan from time to time.
As for Chen Yuan, a third-rank official, he was penniless, so it was hard not to sympathize with him.
Receiving the sympathetic look from the government servant, Chen’s father felt complicated and wanted to explain loudly that my family was really not poor.
He was a little confused as to where this rumor came from. He was detained for only a few days. How could he feel that the world had changed so much.
However, he turned to look at his daughter. She seemed to have said that her family was poor, and he was a little confused.
Chen Xue had already thought of the reason. To put it simply, the censor was there at the time, so she took advantage of the situation and cried about poverty to prove that Chen Yuan was not corrupt, and then the censor believed it.
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that compared to other aristocratic families, the Chen family had developed at the time of his father and had only a dozen years of foundation. For aristocratic families, they were indeed poor.
However, he also knew that it was almost impossible to overturn the verdict.
After the perfunctory process was over, everyone heard the yamen servant’s voice, “Why are you so stunned? Why don’t you hurry up and get on your way.”
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of whips.
There are hundreds of people in the exile team, and the corruption case involves not only his Chen family, but also other officials.
It's just that most of the servants have been bought, and only a small number have been exiled with them.
Moreover, other people are not as decent as Chen Xue's family. Most of them were whipped and then inked, so many of them were supported by their family members.
Some people could not bear the flogging and died suddenly, which was considered a relief and had no chance to experience exile again.
But no matter what, everyone was shackled and had to walk with difficulty, even Chen Xue's family was no exception.
However, Chen Xue didn't want to suffer this. After all, these shackles were worn on her body, and the constant friction as she walked could easily turn her arms and ankles into a **** mess.
And it is easy to get infected after being injured, especially in ancient times when there was no penicillin. Once infected, there was no cure.
So, Chen Xue had to spend a hundred taels of silver to exchange for weak water in space. It was not the legendary weak water, but it had the same name.
This bottle of weak water can be made as light as a feather by just dropping a drop of it on an object, which is very suitable for the shackles on her body.
Of course, she did not forget to give it to her parents. After all, there will be more things to bring out in the future, which will be exposed sooner or later. It is better to find a good reason to tell them.
Moreover, he is in a different world and is still on the road of exile. Only his parents can rely on him and protect him.
The excuse she made was given to her by the master. She had told Chen's mother before that the things in Chen's house were hidden by the master, and she also became a disciple of the master, so these were given by her.
The ancients were more superstitious and easily believed in mysterious and mysterious things. Although they felt that the master whom their daughter worshiped was as powerful as a god, they quickly accepted it.
“I’ll forget it!”
Father Chen shook his head, "As time goes by, everyone will find that we are not injured by the shackles. It is easy to suspect that you are women, and no one dares to see whether your wrists are really injured, but I am different..."
So, he would rather suffer some hardships and protect his wife and daughter. They don't need to suffer.
Chen Xue has actually considered this for a long time. After all, she will have to take out food and other things in the future, which will be exposed by then. However, considering that she has not left the capital yet and all the informants are there, it is better to keep a low profile.
After thinking about it, she cut a few pieces of cloth from the space and asked her father to tie them to her wrists and ankles, where the two shackles rubbed, so as to avoid friction as much as possible.
On the road of exile, you must ensure good health in order to reach your destination.
Then, she turned to look at the maid Xiaodie who had been quiet and silent. She was originally talkative and now it was as if she had her mute point tapped.
However, it is normal to think that she is only sixteen years old and her house was confiscated and exiled suddenly, which is a little unacceptable.
Xiaodie and the original owner grew up together and were as close as sisters. Even if she was asked to leave before the house was ransacked, she was unwilling to do so. Instead, she insisted on being exiled with her.
Such a loyal little girl, how could she treat her badly?
So, Chen Xue also put a drop of weak water on her shackles. Xiaodie was very surprised, but she was very smart and didn't ask any more questions.
"Snapped!"
“Go faster, why are you dawdling!”
Suddenly, Father Chen was whipped on the back. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Chen Xue turned around angrily and saw one of the yamen servants who wanted to blackmail them just now. He heard them chatting before and it seemed that his name was Zhao Guang.
At this time, he had a fierce look on his face, staring at them fiercely, holding a whip in his hand, and seemed to want to take action.
“I’m leaving now, I’m leaving now!”
Chen's father quickly protected his wife and daughter and followed the team. Although they were not left behind, Chen's father knew that the king of **** was easy to mess with and the little devil was difficult to deal with.
Zhao Guang's face darkened as he saw the Chen family mingling with the team. He was one of Guo Qiang's men. This time he received the mission and had to kill Chen Yuan as soon as possible.
So, he looked for an opportunity to anger Chen Yuan and force him to take action, so that he would have an excuse to draw the sword.
As the officer in charge of the exile, he had the right to take action when the prisoners rioted, so he could justifiably kill Chen Yuan and complete the task.
However, Chen Yuan endured it, which made Zhao Guang look ugly. He has not yet left the capital, so he did not dare to take action blatantly, but the superiors were urging him.
Thinking of this, he touched the poison in his arms and sneered in his heart. There are many ways to kill a person.
“It’s still within the capital, so the government officials don’t dare to be too arrogant. After a while, they will become more aggressive, so we try to keep a low profile and don’t provoke them.”
While Chen's mother was distressed about the injury on her husband's back, Chen's father waved his hand to show that he didn't mind and instead reminded them.
Chen Xue nodded, expressing understanding, and continued to move forward with everyone.
The shackles on her body became lighter, like foam, so she couldn't feel the weight at all and walked very easily.
But the rest of the team was different. None of them had suffered like this. In addition, they had been flogged, so after a while, some people fell to the ground.
When the government officials saw this, not only did they not understand, but they waved their whips on them and told them to get up quickly.
Chen Xue narrowed her eyes when she saw this scene. It could be said that this was the first time she had seen the cruel side of ancient times.
Some things from the previous life are not useful in this world. If you want to survive in this world, you must adapt to this world.
However, before that, she still wanted to quench her thirst.
“Mom, let me wipe your sweat!”
Chen Xue said, pretending to wipe Chen's mother's sweat, but actually fed her a few green grapes.
As expected of her mother, Chen’s mother reacted quickly. When she discovered that Chen Xue was stuffing something into her mouth, she did not suspect anything else, but immediately opened her mouth to cooperate.
Feeling the sweetness in her mouth, Chen's mother was puzzled. Where did Xiaoxue get the grapes? Not to mention they were quite sweet.
As for Chen’s father, Chen Xue did not feed him. Instead, she put the grapes into his hands and asked him to eat them by himself. Then he walked and ate the grapes.
Oh, by the way, I also forgot about Xiaodie's existence. After all, I don't know why, her sense of existence is so low, and I don't know if it's because she doesn't speak.
After feeding Xiaodie a few grapes with her backhand, she walked and ate the grapes.
She has also planted grapes in the space, but it will take some time to receive the goods. The current inventory is enough for her to eat for several days...if she eats grapes like melon seeds.
