Chapter 5: Freedom is Rare
The next day, Chu Li visibly improved, and the wounds on his body were not very painful.
Chu Mubei's gloomy expression after a night finally eased a little, and he motioned to his lieutenant general to take one hundred taels of silver to Chen Xianyue, which was regarded as a diagnosis fee.
Chen Xianyue refused to accept it, her children had walked for a long time, and their legs were about to be wasted, and she wanted a carriage that could take them to Meicheng.
She was about to speak, when a herald came in the distance on horseback, hurrying forward.
I saw him walk up to Chu Mubei, kneel down to say goodbye, and then whispered a few words, Chu Mubei looked at Chen Xianyue and them with an unnatural expression, Jiang Luo met his gaze, but he immediately avoided it.
"Jiang Yushi is an upright official, and his relatives have fallen to such a point...... Chu Mubei hesitated.
The herald told him that the yacha in the capital had informed several nearby prefectures and counties of the Jiang family's escape, and that they had already sent people to search for him.
The rest of the Jiang family has been arrested, and only Jiang Yushi's concubine and three children are still missing.
Coincidentally, these four people were actually bumped into by them.
"Major General...... Yang Taishou's people will arrive immediately, let's take the initiative to send people over, right? The adjutant suggested.
"No, I can't. After all, they saved Li'er, I can't ......" Chu Mubei took down the sword from the carriage and prepared to send someone to send the four of them away in the carriage.
The adjutant general stopped and knelt down in front of him, "Major General! The Jiang family is a big crime of rebellion, do you want to implicate adults? ”
……
"Major General!" A team of yacha dressed in dark blue embroidered with red edges arrived on horseback, and the leading man was none other than Xu An, who escorted the Jiang family's relatives all the way from the capital.
Jiang Luo secretly said that it was not good, he didn't expect them to escape for so long, and they were still caught!
"Let's go."
Jiang Luo pulled Chen Xianyue's sleeve and reminded in a low voice. But Chen Xianyue saw that the person who came was already frightened and her legs were weak, and she trembled like a sieve, unable to move.
"Major General, I heard that you caught the Jiang family's prisoner."
Xu An took Yang Taishou's people to dismount and ask for peace.
Chu Mubei's face couldn't hold back, "Who are you?" ”
"The villain Xu An is the official of the government."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and even took advantage of the gap to ask for peace and glanced back at Jiang Luo and them.
"What should I do......" Chen Xianyue cried, they must have known that the yacha named Pang Zhou died, and this matter would definitely be suspected of them.
It's over, it's over!
She can't let people hurt Jiang Luo, she can only resist all the charges herself.
"It is said that Lord Qinzhou Assassin Shi Chu has a good way of governing the realm, and the family education is even stricter, presumably the young general will not have anything to do with the fugitives, right?" Xu An had a respectful smile on his face, but he was questioning why the Jiang family's relatives would go with the Chu family.
Chu Mubei's lieutenant general is quite old, and he has always followed Chu Tingshi's side, and he is used to seeing the storms in the officialdom. He immediately stepped forward, half threatening and half dissociating, "The servants of the Gongfu are really imposing!" Yesterday, my major general led his troops to hunt down the kidnappers, and all of them were rescued from the kidnappers. ”
"As for the family members of the anti-ministers that you speak of...... There is no inscription on their faces, how can we know their identity! ”
Xu An got up and bowed again, "Since that's the case, the villain will take the person away." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, his men immediately stepped forward and tied up the four of them.
Jiang Luo's mood fell to the bottom, and she looked at Chu Mubei pitifully, her eyes full of anticipation and pleading.
Xu is eyes were too hot, Chu Mubei's heart sank, but he ...... Incompetent.
Chen Xianyue and Jiang Ran knelt on the ground and begged for mercy......
Xu An dragged the four of them out of the team, and Chu Mubei's adjutant general glanced at his own young general, and immediately understood, he stepped forward to stop them, and stretched out his hand to stuff them with some silver.
"They saved the third lady of my family, and they are considered the benefactors of the Chu family, please be kind to you." He softened his tone.
"If you come to Qinzhou in the future, my family will not treat you badly."
"Don't worry." Xu An took the silver two with a smile, and his voice was a little flattering.
They rode horses and dragged Chen Xianyue and the others behind with ropes.
In this way, it stopped for four or five days before returning to the original official road. The rest of the Jiang family had been waiting in place for a long time, and in order to prevent them from escaping again, the adult men were all wearing shackles of dozens of catties.
"Your family is also reunited." Xu An scolded, "Let's settle the score!" ”
"Cheng'er! Luo'er! Jiang He was annoyed and happy, thinking that they could escape, but he didn't expect to be caught back.
"Great uncle." Jiang Cheng greeted weakly.
"My Cheng'er, you have suffered." Mrs. Jiang held him in her arms, and couldn't help but cry.
Yang Taishou arranged for four more yacha to escort them to Lingbei together with the four yacha in the capital before.
Since Xu An arrested the Jiang family's people back, he was beaten twice in three days! I asked them why they were looking for death, and they actually fled.
Jiang Luo and the other siblings escaped because they were not very old. But she also concluded from the scolding words of these yacha that these people did not know that Pang Zhou was killed by them.
The obvious cut marks on the neck of Kepangzhou...... Unless it was because of the wilderness of that place, his body was ruined by wild beasts, so Xu An and the others did not find any traces of him being mutilated!
At night, Xu An held a horsewhip in his hand, and he pointed at Jiang He and scolded, "Ye was very happy in the capital!" You anti-thief masters will not talk about it with you! I still want to escape! ”
"You want to kill you!"
Syllable!
The high horsewhip fell on Jiang He's body, and Jiang He snorted, slammed his head against the wall, and bled all over the ground.
Xu An still didn't give up, and he had to chase and fight.
Jiang Luo got rid of Chen Xianyue's hand and stood in front of Jiang He.
"Official! It's not that we're going to run away, it's ......," she looked up with her childish face, her eyes misty, "because we saw Pang Ye being bitten to death by the beasts in the woods...... We fled for fear of suspicion. ”
"Get out of here!" Xu An was stunned and lost his mind for a while before pushing her away.
She stubbornly stood in front of Jiang He, her small body against Xu An.
She reached out and touched the hardness of the wall, and said unhurriedly, "Xu Ye has used the strength of so many surrounding states and counties, could it be that he just wants to arrest us and kill us?" ”
You must know that although the escorted yacha can abuse the prisoners, if all the prisoners die on the road, they will not be able to get the documents of the place of exile, and they will not be able to return to the capital to pay errands.
"What do you mean?" Xu An looked at her inquiringly, and it was clear that she was a malnourished girl, and she actually had such momentum and insight.
"I mean, if you beat and scold at every turn, our Jiang family is not a soft bone, it's a big deal to commit suicide together, and let you carry the body to Lingbei for a business."
