Chapter 56: Exile
The news that Wang Xiaojian was sentenced to be punished by Wen Junshou and confiscated into the army reached the Wang family within a few days, and Mrs. Wang couldn't afford to be ill, and she died in a few days.
On the day Wang Xiaojian filled the army, he was escorted out of the city by the officials who escorted the prisoners, but met Xia Liyun outside the city.
She was waiting for him on the side of the road.
Not only Xia Liyun, but also the maidservants and maids she carried were also wearing white.
Wang Xiaojian was wearing shackles around his neck, fixed his hands and head, and was wearing prisoner's clothes, and was driven by the officials to stumble over, and when he saw Xia Liyun from a distance, Wang Xiaojian couldn't stop the tears.
And the two officials also consciously asked Wang Xiaojian to say goodbye to Xia Liyun, usually at this time, the exiled family will give them some silver, which is why the errand of escorting prisoners is very hard, and they are still rushing to do it, after all, escorting a prisoner will benefit much more than the salary issued in the yamen.
"Prince Wang, go and talk to your lady, let's get on the road." The two officials spoke kindly and urged Wang Xiaojian to go over.
Wang Xiaojian stumbled towards Xia Liyun, and Xia Liyun stumbled over with his subordinates.
"Xianggong, Xianggongβ" Xia Liyun cried in her mouth.
The little maid hurriedly set up a chair and table for Wang Xiaojian, and the maid also set up wine and food.
"Xianggong, are you hungry? Grab some food and drink to fill your stomach. β
Wang Xiaojian looked at Xia Liyun's red and swollen eyes from crying, and sighed: "I didn't expect that in the end, it was Liyun that you were sincere to me." β
"Liyun's heart, Xianggong should have known it a long time ago." Xia Liyun's words were exhausted and resentful.
Wang Xiaojian looked at Xia Liyun dressed in filial piety clothes, and cried again: "Although Wen Junshou did not immediately sentence me to beheading, but sentenced me to exile and charge the army, isn't it no different from death?" It's just the difference between dying early and dying late, and dying late is also a sin. β
Xia Liyun said: "Don't say frustrating words......
"Why don't I say something discouraged? You see you're wearing white to see me off, and you're ready for me to go here and never return, right? β
Only then did Xia Liyun realize that Wang Xiaojian had misunderstood: "What did Xianggong say?" Xianggong is still a living person, as long as he does not die, there is always a chance to survive, and my filial piety clothes are worn for my mother-in-law. β
Xia Liyun said and cried again.
Wang Xiaojian said "ah": "Mother, she-"
"Mother-in-law, she heard that Xianggong was exiled to the army, and she couldn't stand it, so she ......" Xia Liyun hid her face in a veil and whimpered, raised her head again, and said, "Originally, on the day Xianggong was imprisoned, my mother-in-law fell ill, but now she ...... She couldn't stand the blow......"
Wang Xiaojian was stupid, he originally wanted to ask Xia Liyun to take good care of his mother.
"Well, it's okay if my mother is gone, if she leaves, I don't have to worry about it, is everything done?"
Xia Liyun nodded: "The savings I can have in the family have been done for my mother-in-law, so I really can't take the money out to help your father-in-law ...... on the road."
Xia Liyun said and looked in the direction of the two officials.
The two officers were waiting impatiently, and when they heard this, their faces sank.
Wang Xiaojian was also surprised: "You came to send me, but you didn't prepare money to make money for me......"
"Xianggong, I ......"
Xia Liyun didn't wait to say anything, the official had already come to drive him away, and he didn't care about the wine and food, so he took the pot of wine away.
"Xianggong, Xianggong-" Xia Liyun ran after Wang Xiaojian and the servants, but the servants only pulled Wang Xiaojian to walk quickly, and Wang Xiaojian didn't want to look at Xia Liyun again.
I thought that this woman was in love with him, and she was reluctant to spend a penny and a half on him at a critical moment, which was bent on letting him die.
Wang Xiaojian was angry in his heart, and he walked faster than two errand soldiers.
And Xia Liyun saw that she couldn't catch up, so she didn't chase it.
The subordinates all chased after him, shouting: "Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun......"
Xia Liyun stopped, turned her head and said to them: "Okay, go back, Madame is gone, the young lady is also gone, and the son has also gone to fill the army, you should know whether you can come back or not, and I will be in charge of the Wang family in the future." β
In fact, during the days when the son was in prison, the Wang family was already in charge of Aunt Yun.
"Yes, Aunt Yun." The subordinates bowed their knees in understanding.
Not long after Wang Xiaojian left, his eyes turned black, and he regretted that he hadn't eaten the meal prepared by Xia Liyun before he went on the road, and the two officials came back to their senses at this moment and began to get angry.
"I said, Wang Gongzi, why is your mother-in-law so ignorant? Dare to love, this trip is thousands of miles away, are you going to let the two of us run for nothing? A servant scolded.
Wang Xiaojian was also not angry: "I don't have a mother-in-law, you forgot, Wen Junshou has already sentenced me to divorce, where do I have any mother-in-law?" β
"Yes, yes, yes, there is such a thing, it seems that he really ran away in vain," another official said angrily, "Damn, I hurt Lao Tzu to pay a lot of money for the relationship in order to rob this errand, so I want to lose my money?" β
If you can't get the money, let's beat people and get angry.
The two officials picked up the whip and whipped Wang Xiaojian on the left and right, and beat Wang Xiaojian and shouted: "Brother Guancha, don't beat again, if you beat again, you will die." β
"Isn't it your life to sentence you to the army?"
A servant kicked Wang Xiaojian to the ground: "Your Wang family has no money to hold a big banquet, and it is a big banquet that Quanqi has never had, where did the money come from?" β
Those money are not the money of the Wang family, and he doesn't know where Li Yueshu got the money.
Wang Xiaojian felt bitter.
"If you want us to say, the people of your Wang family are ready to let you die, so they will not pull out a hair like an iron rooster, and those who are a hundred times poorer than your Wang family will also express their ...... at this juncture."
In the distance, a carriage stopped on the side of the road for a long time, only to hear a female voice inside: "It's time to pass, don't go over, it's really killing people." β
It's Shen Changping.
The luxurious carriage suddenly arrived, and both the official and Wang Xiaojian were stunned.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage and placed a stool beside the carriage, and Jean helped out a handsome girl from the carriage.
Wang Xiaojian only felt that he couldn't open his eyes, the girl was so beautiful that she was like a fairy coming from the sky, and when she looked at it, she knew that it was Shen Changping.
I haven't seen Shen Changping for a long time, and Wang Xiaojian only feels like a world away.
didn't expect her to come to see him off, not only to send her, but also to send money to the official.
Wang Xiaojian watched Shen Changping ask the maidservant Qin'er to hand each of the two officials a big money bag, and the two officials could feel a sinking moment in their hands, which showed that this time the silver money was enough.
"I am the eldest lady of the Shen family, and Shen Sikong is my father." Shen Changping introduced himself like two officials.
The official understood and hurriedly picked up Wang Xiaojian from the ground and opened the shackles for him.
"Wang Gongzi is a scholar, and when he turns back on the road, he won't be allowed to wear this shackle, just take it."
Shen Changping nodded to the two officials and thanked them.
