Chapter 106: Good intentions do bad things

In the exiled team, because there was no harassment from Captain Sun, Chen Xue and the others no longer had to worry about this or that, and they could enjoy life well.

Especially, because there are guards, Lord Chen doesn't have to worry about someone breaking in directly, lifting the curtain and finding that they are not there.

Moreover, because Xu County ordered a cart of supplies, they could also eat good things openly.

Of course, wealth is not exposed.

They still choose to hide in the space to eat, of course, the people eat outside, and the food they eat is naturally sent by Xu County.

In fact, when Chen Xue was in the county seat, she packed a lot of street snacks.

Because the space has the ability to keep it fresh, even if it is freshly bought, it will not spoil for many days, and it is still fresh.

Therefore, she bought a lot of food.

Although a lot of money was spent, it was not lost, and before leaving, General Pingwei and Xu Xianling both gave a lot of silver.

Lord Chen refused, but what does it have to do with her Chen Xue.

Anyway, she didn't refuse to come, after all, who didn't know that her father was "penniless".

………

"There is only one bowl of porridge and one steamed bun per person!"

At lunchtime, the official was distributing lunch to everyone, but the official who was making porridge suddenly stared at the prisoner in front of him.

"You look like you've already beaten it just now!"

A hint of panic flashed across the prisoner's face, but he was still very calm, "I didn't, I just came." ”

The official stared at him deadly, "Impossible, my memory is not so bad!" ”

"I really don't." The prisoner cried with a sad face, "This official, are you mistaken, I really just came." ”

"Huh!" The official sneered, "Although you have changed your clothes, you have not changed your shoes, and the smell on your body cannot deceive." ”

"I ......"

The prisoner's face suddenly became ugly, and then he looked at everyone and shouted, "Everyone help me testify, these officials don't give me food, even if they frame people......"

When the words fell, I saw a few men next to him echo, "That's it, let's find General Pingwei and Xu Xianling to call the shots!" ”

"You ......"

The new officer's face suddenly became very difficult to look at, but unlike Captain Sun, these old fritters, he was a member of the exile team for the first time, and his personality was not that bad.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, although he was angry, he did not take out the whip and scolded them, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, they had just come over, and if they didn't do a good job and were known by the county magistrate or General Pingwei, wouldn't it be ......

"What's going on!"

Xu Tian found out about the movement here, and hurried over, and the prisoner saw Xu Tian's eyes light up, and then quickly ran over and complained to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian looked at the officer, and the officer quickly explained, "I obviously saw that he knew that he made a bowl of porridge and took a steamed bun, and now he is running over again......"

"Forget it!" Xu Tian glanced at the prisoner and sighed, "This matter ends here. ”

A bowl of porridge, although there is a lot of rice, is still porridge, not full, and it is nothing for the prisoner to eat a little more.

Seeing this, the prisoner hurriedly thanked Xu Tian, and then quickly ran away.

But the official frowned and came to Xu Tian's side, "Captain, if everyone is like him, then our food won't last a few days......

"yes." The old official next to him also spoke, he was the official who had been in the exile team from the beginning, "There is a rule on the amount of food they eat, if these foods are eaten, it will be difficult to replenish them!" ”

In fact, the imperial court did not really stipulate the amount of food to be eaten to exiled prisoners, but there was a conformist rule, which was basically a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.

Like Xu Tian asked them to thicken the rice in their porridge, it was already that, what if......

"Captain, it's not a good thing that they're overfed, what if they riot again?"

Xu Tian interrupted them, "What if they starve to death?" ”

How could they starve to death, the old servant complained in his heart, in the past, he gave the prisoners less food, or the dregs and stone cakes did not starve them to death.

However, now that Xu Tian is the captain, how dare he disobey Xu Tian's orders.

…………

After the prisoner left, the prisoners who had attached him before also hurriedly followed, and several people quickly got together.

"It works!"

The prisoner couldn't help but say excitedly, they had known Xu Tian's character for a long time, and they had also confirmed the personalities of the other officials these days, which were completely different from the previous ones.

Therefore, they can completely bully these officials.

Moreover, even if Xu Tian, the captain, knew about it, he would favor them, so there was a situation where they changed their clothes and beat more food.

"Then tomorrow, let's take turns to change clothes and go again, two bowls of porridge can be full, and we can save two steamed buns."

"Yes."

"While these servants are not ready to bully now, let's get more food."

"But...... I'm just worried that other prisoners will report us when they see us like this......"

"What are you afraid of!"

A man said with an indifferent face, "It's a big deal to pull them in, we have a lot of people and we are strong, it's a good thing for us." ”

"That's right, I found out, as long as we are united, others will not dare to bully us, even those officials...... If you want to move us, you have to weigh it when the time comes......"

If Captain Sun was still in power, they would naturally not dare to do this, but now it is Xu Tian, and they know Xu Tian's character very well.

He has a good attitude towards prisoners, and will favor prisoners as long as it is not a special matter.

It's not illegal for them to take more food, Xu Tian didn't say anything, so they were naturally even bolder.

…………

Xu Tian didn't know it, because of his temporary soft-heartedness, it made a big mistake, and the prisoners also began to form gangs.

Moreover, in order to allow the prisoners to eat better, Xu Tian also let them be free, that is, on the way to exile, as long as they did not escape, they could go into the woods to pick wild vegetables, and catch fish in the river.

It is even possible to go hunting in the woods at noon or in the evening, as long as they do not run away, and they can feed themselves by whatever means they want.

This move, of course, was approved by the prisoners, but it also caused problems for the officials.

They had to patrol the woods at lunch and in the evening, and then count the number of prisoners every day to make sure that the prisoners had not escaped.

Fortunately, General Pingwei was worried that they would not be able to control the situation of the prisoners because of their small number, so he arranged more official servants for them.

One official is in charge of four or five prisoners, and fifty or sixty officials, which is already the largest number of officials in the exile team in recent years.

It's just that the prisoners have been freed, their ambitions have grown, and they have gone from barely enough to be fed, and now these prisoners plan to live better.

Of course, they didn't think about comparing themselves with the Chen family.

Although they couldn't see what good things Chen Xue and they ate, the Chen family ate better than them.

They say that it is impossible not to envy, and without a backer, they can only rely on themselves.

As a result, many prisoners formed gangs, and when they found that someone had hit their prey, they began to snatch their prey by means of coercion and inducement.

It was okay at first, but later on, it even started to kill people.
