Chapter 31 In the first sin, there must be a hidden secret
Starting from the morning, that is, from seven o'clock in the modern morning, because the men were injured, it was not until almost eleven o'clock that they crossed half of Yanjing City and walked out of the north gate. In Kyoto, prisoners are sent out of Kyoto through the North Castle Gate.
Soon after leaving the city gate, one of the officials who escorted them, one of them with a long face and thin lips, said in an indifferent tone: "Today's fifty miles, at your speed, how can you finish it?" You can't finish walking, you don't have time to eat during the day, you can do it yourself! ”
The privileged class of eunuchs had three meals a day, and after becoming exiles, they could only eat two meals a day. If you keep walking, how can a man in handcuffs and shackles eat? Don't you have to be hungry all the time!
The black noodles and brown rice that were given to them, Li Yao heard her mother Han say that it was impossible to fill her stomach. This complained that the prison food was a little rancid, and Han also persuaded her to endure the food, it turned out that there was still greater pain waiting.
Li Jin's mother, Wu, was directly angry, and she stepped forward and said angrily to the long-faced and thin-lipped official: "You are a dog fighting people!" These men were all punished with rods when they went out of the city. ”
"This is the rule, I will do errands according to the rules, you woman is rude!" The long-faced and thin-lipped official was explained in advance, so although there is a prince here, he is not afraid of offending people.
As he spoke, he glared and whipped Wu fiercely, only whipped Wu in suppressed pain. It wasn't until Wu's mother-in-law, Shen, and her children cried and begged that the official spared her.
After this happened, some people took pity on Wu's family, and some complained that she didn't know the times and offended the officials. But even so, an hour later, Mrs. Li looked at her daughter-in-law Han with a sad face and a pleading eye.
Han quickly grasped her mother-in-law's intentions. She found a good-faced official of the country, stepped forward and saluted again and again, and said sadly: "Lord Cha, you can do it!" Whoever has no parents and no children, and sees my old father and son being punished and having a hard journey, my heart aches so much as I am a daughter-in-law and a mother, and I can't wait to suffer for them. But you know, it's not going to work. You can do it, let them rest before they go. ”
There are two escorts in each family, and this person has been following Li Yao's family, and the Han family probably can also see that this person is responsible for escorting their family.
Li Yao followed by the side, she hugged Han Shi and bowed and said, "My lord, you can do it!" "King Kang's family, the Fu family estimates that because of their identity, it is really difficult to put down the shelf and beg, but at this time, her grandfather really doesn't look very good.
She followed, and saw that her unshaven grandfather was always looking up at the sky, almost shaking and falling to the ground. At this time, these women don't ask for help, and if they want self-esteem and identity, they will suffer in vain.
The official name of the country's character face is He Yong. He is a filial person, not to mention that Li Jimin is famous. Listening to Han's words, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, and wanted to make it convenient for Li Jimin.
But...... But this is not the time. Among the escorted officials, there was a person named Wang Changchun, who was from the Xu family of the Pingji Marquis Mansion. Because of this Wang Changchun, he really can't be the master.
At this time, Wang Changchun had already walked over, and he was the official with a long face and thin lips. He waved his whip and stepped forward to ask Han Shi fiercely: "I can't walk at the beginning, I can't hold on, what will I do in the future?" Do you want to be whipped if you don't go? As he spoke, he whipped Li Yao hard.
Li Yao and Han stood together. Seeing that his daughter was whipped, Han was extremely distressed and pulled his daughter to hide behind him. She knew that if she had a conflict with this man over her daughter, they would be the ones who would suffer. Therefore, she had to cover half of her face with her sleeve, tilt her head and wipe her tears all the time, and said nothing.
Regardless of Han's pull, Li Yao stood in front of Han's body. She raised her arm sideways to dodge the whip, and scolded angrily in her heart: "Devil, this dead thing! Although she didn't want Han to be whipped, why did the whip be whipped directly on her? ”
Seeing this, after a while, He Yong had to look at the Han family, and secretly shook his head with a look in his eyes, indicating that he really couldn't do anything.
The others kept an eye on the movement here, and when they saw that it was useless to plead, they were so disappointed that they stopped looking at this side. However, since then, He Yong walked beside Li Jimin, and when Li Jimin almost fainted, he would use a whip to put his hand on the handcuffs in order to borrow some strength to support Li Jimin.
Wang Changchun wanted to stop him, but the official who was walking with him grabbed him, looked at him and muttered, "Hey...... Leave everything on the line! Compared with the common people, the identity of these rogue officials and their family members is different, who knows if they have a time to turn over? In short, this is also unclear for a while. If there is a case, it will be us who are not hard in the background...... What's more, there are royal nobles like King Kang's family here! Besides, the status of these exiles was not low, and none of them had any old friends. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Jimin, and his meaning was very clear: These rogue officials can't say when they will have a chance to turn over, don't offend too much.
Since the founding of the country, Datai has been tolerant and polite to scholars, that is, scholars. Normally, the imperial court will not punish them with death, and the heaviest punishment is exile, so it is not certain when these people will have a chance to recover. Therefore, the general people of the three religions and the ninth rank are quite polite to these low-ranking officials from the scholarly family, so it is no wonder that this official is so persuasive.
Wang Changchun can also understand the deep meaning of this person. After deep thought, he said, "Then forget it." ”
Anyway, the Pingji Marquis Mansion explained that these people must be made to suffer something, but they didn't say how they should eat. Then he came in secret, why should he offend people in the open.
The granddaughter was whipped, and Mrs. Li didn't look at it. At this time, she approached her daughter-in-law worriedly and whispered: "It seems that I have just left the city gate, and the limelight is still tight, so let's think about it later." ”
"The daughter-in-law listens to her mother." Han replied respectfully.
Li Yao was whipped, and Li Yue sneered gloatingly. Because her face is dirty, when she smiles, her dirty little flower face is also quite happy. Her biological mother, Aunt Sun, did not stop her daughter's actions.
Aunt Liao dragged her son Li Da's hand and followed Han closely.
Aunt Chen and Li Pei's mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and walked very closely.
Li Yao's father, Li Mingqing, also had a few maids, except for Aunt Chen, Aunt Sun and Aunt Liao, who had children, who were exiled with them, and the rest were sold by the officials.
Han didn't like the old lady, but as soon as the old lady had an important order, Han immediately complied. It can be seen that Han is a good daughter-in-law who is reasonable and righteous. But Mrs. Li always doesn't wait to see Han, and this Mrs. Li is also wonderful.
didn't speak, Li Yao was thinking nonsense there. Obviously, the long-faced and thin-lipped official is not in charge of escorting their family, but he talks and counts in a cadre of officials, there must be something hidden here......
It's a long day, when you get to the post station outside the city, no matter how much you suffer, even if you survive this day. Wang Changchun said a few words to the people with him at this time, and then left first. The exiled families did not like him, and he left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
