The scorching sun was scorching, and thirty or forty people from the Xu family, all of whom were wearing white linen prison clothes, marched forward amid the shouts of the soldiers.

The female dependents are not as strong as the men, so in order to hurry, the shackles on the men's bodies have been removed, and they are holding the elders, wives and children of the family with their hands, sweating profusely. Because it was so dry, my lips began to chapp.

The soldiers were polite to them, and did not move except shouting. There was no disrespect for the ladies of the Xu family, which made Xu Qirong breathe a sigh of relief. They were followed by the subordinates of the Xu family, carrying burdens, and when they saw that the masters were thirsty, they took the kettle, said a few good words to the soldiers, and then obtained permission and went forward to serve the masters to drink water.

Xu Qiyu shouted that his feet hurt and was coquettish with Xu Zhou's family, Xu Zhou's stepped forward and begged the soldiers, but he was also allowed to let his subordinates follow behind with Xu Qixuan on their backs.

Xu Qirong found Xu Tingyuan and Qi among the crowd, and the two were following Princess Pingtai and wanted to help her go, but Princess Pingtai pushed them away with a cold face and refused their support.

Qi was smart enough to pull Xu Tingyuan to stand beside Princess Pingtai, so that he could block the dazzling sun.

How could the Xu family have suffered such a crime!

Xu Qirong's heart was sour, but he also understood that this kind of treatment was much better than that of other exiles. There was no Xu Tingjin among the people, and Hua Yude had already told Xu Qirong on the way that Liang Wenjing and Duan Xu had punished the nine clans, and the Xu family killed Xu Tingjin...... Thousands of knives were cut, and I heard that the blood stained the entire execution table red.

When Xu Qirong knew, he burned three incense sticks in the direction of Caiyue's tomb. When people die, the lights go out, and the grudges between the previous life and this life, Xu Tingjin is already clean.

Besides. Xu Tingjin's two sons, Xu Cheng and Xu Jin, were both sent into forced labor, but their wives and daughters and Xu Cheng's youngest son were exiled with the rest of the Xu family.

Xu Qirong vaguely felt that Xu Tingjin angered Emperor Chen Qian, not because of rebellion, but for other reasons. That's it. She didn't need to dig deeper.

Seeing that the Xu family was in front, Hua Yude instead pulled the reins and slowed down. Only far behind them. When the people in front of him finally couldn't walk anymore and stopped to rest at a tea pavilion, Hua Yude also stopped and asked Qiu Nong and Cai Liu to take out dry food and distribute it to everyone.

Xu Qirong quickly finished eating the dry food in his hand. began to thank Hua Yude. Hua Yude looked at Xu Qirong with a strange expression, Xu Qirong's ears were red, and he was a little ashamed. People say that she is grateful for her kindness, and she is so grateful to people, it is indeed a bit like she wants to break off the relationship with others. I had to stop my mouth, half loud, and sighed under Hua Yude's gaze: "I...... There will be a period later. ”

Hua Yude said: "We will naturally have a period in the future." ”

Xu Qirong was stunned.

Hua Yude said again: "But what are you telling me about this now?" ”

Xu Qirong pointed to the tea pavilion over there: "Gong Lao De sent us so far, and he has already caught up with his father." Isn't Degong going back to his life? ”

Hua Yude's name in the palace is Hua De, and some people call him Hua Gonggong. Some people call him Degong, he has never said in front of Xu Qirong that he is Hua Yude, but he doesn't want to mention the past. Therefore, Xu Qirong followed everyone to call him Degong.

Hua Yude waved his hand and pointed to the boy who was pouring his burden: "I also want to go to Shu with you." ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, and said, "You don't have to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hua Yude laugh and said: "Shudi water conservancy is difficult, and Your Majesty has difficulty sleeping and eating, so I was sent to take a look, but I didn't run this specifically for you." If you go to your father like this, you will inevitably cause criticism, and you will suffer all those hardships in vain, so it is better to go with me. ”

Xu Qirong's face flushed, and as soon as Hua Yude spoke, she realized that she was making herself amorous. I only felt that the roots of my ears were hot, so I covered my ears with my hands and sulked behind a big tree. Hua Yude knew that she had misunderstood, and there were so many opportunities to tell her that he was ordered to go to Shu to do something, but he didn't mention a word, and only said it when she was ugly.

Seeing this, Hua Yude touched his nose, and was pulled by Tong'er to take pills, feeling a little embarrassed, he was really a little ...... to play tricks on a little lady like this Lose face!

When the soldiers in front of them drove the Xu family on the road again, Hua Yude also took Xu Qirong on the horse and went up. Walking is always slower than riding a horse, in fact, they can rest for a while, anyway, they are on the official road, and they will not be unable to catch up for a while. It's just that Xu Qirong suddenly saw his relatives, so he was naturally reluctant to let them out of his sight. Hua Yude asked her to get on the horse without waiting for her to speak, and he was also understanding her.

Gao Bo got Xu Qirong's orders, and took advantage of the fact that the soldiers in front of him were not paying attention, and found an opportunity to talk to Shen An. Shen An instructed Shen An's family again, and Shen An's family took the opportunity to send water to the master halfway, and told Xu Tingyuan and Qi the news that Xu Qirong was behind, knowing that Xu Qirong was safe and sound, Xu Tingyuan and Qi were relieved.

Xu Tingyuan didn't think about things so many twists and turns, but Qi was a human spirit. Immediately, let Shen's mother bring a message to Xu Qirong, telling her to follow behind, and don't show up before she arrives in Shudi. First, they didn't want Xu Qirong to suffer this crime with them, and secondly, Xu Qirong appeared so suddenly, and it was difficult to explain it to others. At that time, Xu Qirong was missing, and what Qi said to everyone was that the eldest young master of the Hua family and the second young master of the Cao family both came to the door to propose marriage, and they made a little ugly at the door, so they immediately sent Xu Qirong to the Shen family in Jinzhou.

Except for Princess Pingtai, Gao Bo, Cai Liu, Qiu Nong and the people in the palace, no one knew about Xu Qirong's entry into the palace. When he arrived in Shudi, it could be said that Jinzhou got the news and sent someone to escort Xu Qirong over.

Mother Shen took advantage of everyone's inattention, and found an excuse to sneak over to Xu Qirong's side and relay Qi's words. Then he took Xu Qirong's hand in his hand, patted Xu Qirong's hand comfortingly, and sighed: "Good boy, I've hurt you." ”

Xu Qirong shook his head: "Daddy, they are the ones who are guilty." ”

Mother Shen cautiously glanced at Hua Yude, who was riding the same horse as her own lady, but finally held back the words in her mouth. Miss is an assertive person, and what she says at this time embarrasses Miss.

Then he turned around to find Qiu Nong, knowing that Qiu Nong's whole body was fine, so he was relieved and secretly returned to the crowd.

Hua Yude saw that Xu Qirong was a little depressed, and wanted to comfort her, but Xu Qirong was a smart person, and she must understand what he wanted to say, and it didn't matter if she said it or not.

After thinking about it, he said, "Your stepmother is a rare smart person. ”

Xu Qirong came back to his senses and nodded with a smile: "Of course she is extremely smart. Then I wanted to say how the Qi family subdued her father and her father's concubine, and the words came to my lips, only to realize that it was inconvenient to say these words to a man, so I held back the words again.

And then suddenly there was a snort.

"What's wrong?" Hua Yude is a little unclear.

Xu Qirong frowned: "I have an aunt who should be by my father's side, but I haven't seen her from just now to now." ”

The aunt is also a subordinate, the emperor is gracious, the Xu family is not a slave, if there is no deed of sale, you can leave by yourself, if there is a deed of sale, you can also go to the master to redeem yourself. If your aunt is concerned, you can also go to your lord and ask for a letter of resignation.

Hua Yude thought about it, but still didn't say this to Xu Qirong, but said: "Maybe there are other reasons, when the evening comes, I will ask Shen's mother quietly, and you will know if you ask." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Does that aunt have a good relationship with you?" ”

Xu Qirong shook his head: "It's just that her uncle is my husband, so take care of one or two." ”

Hua Yude was relieved at this time, he had heard that the prince had mentioned a female dependant of the Xu family from Dali Temple, because it was just a concubine, so he thought that Chen Jinkun was faint again, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, that little concubine should be Xu Tingyuan's concubine, but I didn't expect the prince to leave people like this. As for the life and death of the concubine now, Hua Yude is not clear.

In the evening, I asked Shen's mother to ask, and sure enough, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took Yi Shuiman away, and later said that he was pitiful to Yi Shuiman, gave Yi Shuiman a sum of silver, and sent the person back to Yi's house. As for the truth or falsehood, Shen's mother doesn't know either.

Xu Qirong frowned, Yi Shuiman is the Yi family, Jiangzhou's medicinal material business has obviously gone into Hua Weijing's hands, what is Chen Jinkun going to do with Yi Shuiman now? What's more, for the Yi family, Yi Shuiman is already a dead person. If there is even the slightest possibility of returning to the Yi family as a young lady, it is impossible for Yi Shuiman to stay by Xu Tingyuan's side and be a concubine!

Xu Qirong thought about it, found a pen and paper and wrote a letter, and asked Gao Bo to find someone to go to Beijiao, what Chen Jinkun wanted to do, she couldn't do anything at this time, all she could do was to tell Yi Pingzhi about it.

After walking for a month and a half under the sun, I finally arrived in Fuzhou. Because the trip was too slow, Xu Qirong sent Gao Bo first, so as soon as he arrived in Fuzhou, he saw Gao Bo bringing people to greet him.

Hua Yude said goodbye to Xu Qirong, greeted Tong'er, and rode away. Xu Qirong got into the carriage prepared by Gao Bo and went to wait outside the county office.

After the soldiers drove the Xu family to the county government to register and make a register, the Xu family was released. Xu Qirong watched Qi help Princess Pingtai out of the county office, his eyes were sour, he didn't want them to be watched by the people outside the county government anymore, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to get into the carriage prepared by Gao Bo.

There are many Xu families, and Gao Bo has prepared ten carriages, and each carriage has to squeeze three or four people. Outside the carriage, there was a mighty stream of dusty people. I don't know if these people came out of the county government, and I thought that a big family moved to this Fuzhou.

Knowing that Gao Bo had bought a house and everyone had a place to stay, everyone in the Xu family finally breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
