Unlike Shanhaiguan, there are no steep mountains and narrow mountain roads, and there are some plains nearby. And there is a small village here, which was still small when the Xia Kingdom was founded at the beginning of the country, and in the past few years, under the governance of several generations of emperors, it has multiplied, and the scale has been much larger than before.

Ye Xuemei's appearance is too conspicuous, if she shows her face in this small village, I am afraid that it will cause everyone to talk and unnecessary trouble, so she used a veil to cover her face.

The prisoner took some broken silver and went to exchange some steamed buns from the villagers, and while the group was eating, they saw a woodcutter who had returned from chopping wood walking in front of them. At this moment, another farmer with a hoe caught up with him from behind and shouted, "Brother Li, Brother Li......"

The woodcutter stopped and looked back at the farmer, a smile appeared on his face, and replied, "It's you, Brother Fang!" What are you going to do in such a hurry? ”

The farmer lowered his voice and said to him, "I heard that the village chief has captured some prisoners and said that they are going to be escorted to the palace. ”

"Prisoners?" The woodcutter was surprised, "Is there anyone in our village who has committed an accident?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

The farmer shook his head and replied, "It's not from our village, I heard that it's the family of a concubine in the palace." ”

"Concubine? Did the concubine do something? The woodcutter continued.

"It is said that he was a talented man of the first emperor, surnamed Ye, who was supposed to be buried when the first emperor died, but later escaped. No, His Majesty in the palace sent someone to her home to arrest her relatives, who knew that her relatives had already learned the news and wanted to escape from the country. Thanks to the cleverness of our village chief, who saw through this group of people, he reported it to the top and arrested him. ”

Listening to the farmer's answer, the woodcutter surnamed Li couldn't help but sigh: "It's really pitiful, the first emperor was just a talented person when he was here, and the first emperor passed away, and he had to be buried with him." Thinking about it, Ye Cairen must be very young, and he is unwilling to die like this, but even her relatives have to suffer with it! Do you still want to check it out? ”

"Of course I have to go and see it, those prisoners are going to be taken to the palace of the dead, I haven't seen those dignitaries yet, go and see, what they look like!"

"Yes, let's go and see what the hell is going on!" So saying, the woodcutter followed the farmer away.

However, they didn't know that the Ye Cairen they were talking about was beside them at the moment.

Gongliang Yuzhi looked at Ye Xuemei on the side, deeply worried about her, after all, it was her family, how could she stay out of it.

Because of the veil covering her face, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but when she saw the unformed steamed bun that she was holding in her hand, she already knew that she must be uncomfortable in her heart.

He sighed silently in his heart, and said to the prisoner on the side: "Prisoner, you go to the front to inquire about the situation and see what it is!" ”

Mi was ordered to go and hurriedly went to investigate the situation. After a stick of incense, he came back, and after he came back, he bowed to Gongliangyu and said, "Lord Wang, I just went to inquire, and there were indeed prisoners who were escorted from Liyan a few days ago. It is said that he was originally going to flee to Wu from here, but he was later captured and prepared to be escorted back to Liyan. How do you know that the guards on the way are not strict, so that they can escape again. It's a pity that after all, they are all old and weak women and children, and they can't escape at all, and when they were found by the village chief here, they reported to the leader of the escort, and then they were arrested again, and they are kneeling in front of the ancestral hall for trial at this moment! ”
