The wind howled, rolling up the snow and dancing wildly.

The sound of Praetorian boots landing on the hard bluestone floor struck gold and shattered iron, piercing the evening twilight.

At the end of the street, the people gathered at both ends, the water was impassable, the voices of discussion were incredible, and there was a loud buzz.

Loyal ministers and good generals, defending the family and defending the country, all the people were convicted, and they were copied today.

The people were shocked, some of them read the yellow paper of the proclamation and scolded loudly, and some of them loudly argued that they did not believe, and they were drowned in the cries of the wind and snow, and were suddenly covered by the sound of loud hooves.

The Praetorian Guards split into two columns and rushed along the mansion to outflank them, the gate was slammed open, and the wolf-like soldiers rushed in.

The leading general let out a long shout, waved his hand, and gave an order.

The mansion, which he had once entered with admiration, was in shambles.

Crying, shouting, screaming, running, mixed with the sound of wind and snow shouting, in an instant, chaos.

Lost in the twilight.

……

In the cold winter months, the snow is still very heavy.

Under the holy decree, the Xie family's full of men has been beheaded.

The family members were punished and assigned to the frontier to fill the army, and on the same day they were transferred from the gate prison to the outer prison of the Tieji Temple, and the dust settled.

Ladies and children, large and small, were bound by a long piece of hemp rope and tied in a string, and drove out along the long street.

As soon as Gu Guan's feet in thin-soled embroidered shoes stepped on the ground, a chill rushed from the bottom of her feet to her internal organs, making her shiver with cold.

The children couldn't stand it anymore, crying and crying, from the eldest sister-in-law to the third sister-in-law, they all picked up their children, hugged them tightly and wiped their tears, and their cries were broken in the wind: "...... Don't cry children, if you cry again, you will have a bad face. ”

It's even more uncomfortable when the time comes.

When Gu Wan saw her third sister-in-law, she suddenly put the child down, vigorously pulled the knot, and pulled her hand out, she pulled the child to the corner of the street, "Dad!" Mother! You save us, save us, save us, save us—"

The wind and snow roared, blowing the sound blurred, I couldn't hear it really, I saw that the middle-aged man and woman with a pair of sideburns dyed silver also cried, the woman covered her mouth and knelt down, and the wind came with an intermittent cry, "...... Daddy can't help it" "Holy Decree,...... convicted" "The supervisor was commanded by Liang Mingjing ......"

Any more will not really listen.

In the past half a month, there have been rumors in the capital, and more and more people have been involved in this case, and more and more people have been robbed of their homes and thrown into prison, and even affected the city, and now even the households on both sides dare not open the windows, the whole long street is silent, only the roar of the wind and snow is heard, and the family of the third sister-in-law dares to secretly come to see them off, which is extremely rare.

The messenger stood for a moment, then stepped forward and forcibly separated the two sides.

The cry resounded through the long street, and soon dissipated in the wind and snow, and the group staggered, was pulled by the long rope, and came step by step to the outer prison of the Iron Threshold Temple outside the city, and the door opened with a "babbling" sound, and was thrown in.

……

The outer prison of Tiejian Temple is located on the east side of Tiejian Temple in Yungang, which is rebuilt from the old military exercise ground of Yingyangwei, and the rows and half-old old barracks like beehives have now become prison houses, the advantage is that there are walls and kang bases, although it is cold, but it is good to shelter from the wind and snow.

I don't know if the young errand has a heart, this small cell has a pair of dilapidated tents, Gu Wan ripped it off, shook the dust vigorously, thought about it, and finally sighed, or divided it into two, half of it was draped on her mother-in-law who was over fifty years old, Mrs. Xun, and the other half was given to the third sister-in-law Zhang, who was holding her two-year-old niece, "Wrap it in Niuniu." ”

She was also very cold, but the young man really couldn't wrap herself.

Now that's the case.

Full of loyalty, out of the general into the phase, Xie is the founding of the famous general Xie Guanshan, after the title of loyal and brave marquis, hereditary replacement.

The original owner knows that each generation of the Xie family is worthy of the word loyalty, this generation of the head of the family Xie Xinxin has been stationed at the border for 30 years, and has repeatedly broken through the crisis externally, and internally he has pacified the "Miliang Rebellion" that swept the country ten years ago, saved the country, protected the people, and made great achievements.

The second uncle of the Xie family died in the border pass, and the third uncle is also, now the Xie family and the Xie family are from Rong, and they have followed their father to garrison the border pass and defend the imperial city for more than ten years.

He was the only one in the Xie family who was taken to the ancestral hall by his father that night, knelt on the futon to face the ancestors and ancestors, and warned him that he should never eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, let alone be greedy and derelict in his duties.

Xie Sanlang kowtowed, solemnly.

But in the blink of an eye, everything withered and shattered.

When today's son likes to take Dan in his later years, he suddenly feels unwell in the middle of the year, and then he is sick for several months, which suddenly triggers the open and secret struggle between the princes and the parties, and the whole capital changes in an instant.

The Xie family is loyal to the king, the East Palace has supervised the country several times, and has obeyed the crown prince many times, and then because of the situation, he was personally arranged to support the East Palace by the current son, whether it is subjective or objective, it has been regarded as a faction of the East Palace.

Now that the kings and the party have risen up to attack the prince, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and his attitude is ambiguous, and the crown prince is forced to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

Obviously it was originally at the behest of the Son of Heaven, but now it has become a point of suspicion, once the "Lantian Collaboration with the Enemy Case" was revealed, it swept the entire border pass of the capital, countless civilian officials and military generals fell one after another, and the entire Zhongdu prison was overcrowded.

The Xie family was at the center of the storm.

After being falsely accused, the whole family was thrown into prison, and the three divisions were tried, and for half a month, "the evidence was conclusive".

The Son of Heaven was furious, and when the court issued a holy decree, the Loyal and Brave Mansion raided the family and seized the title, the men of the family were beheaded, and the rest of the people were sent to the border pass to fill the army.

As for why Gu Wan knew?

For the original owner was born again.

……

Mrs. Xun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang with her little grandson in her arms in front of her, was a good person.

She is the daughter of the Xie family's old friend, her father and brother were captured, and her mother and sister were both killed, leaving only an orphan girl, who was hidden in the firewood and haystack to escape a catastrophe, and was found by Xie Xinxin, who was a junior general at the time.

The Xie family is grateful for the old friendship, does not forget the trust in the letter, and makes a marriage contract, Xie Xin sincerely pities her for her ups and downs, and spoils and cares for more than 30 years.

So when her cousin met misfortune and traveled thousands of miles to come to Gugu, she accepted it without hesitation.

The original owner is the granddaughter of the county lord of Yongjia, but unfortunately the grandfather was involved in the Miliang Rebellion that year, and the knight was beheaded, her father divorced his wife, and her mother took her to the family of her relatives, fortunately, the relatives and family are very good, Mrs. Xun thinks about herself, treats her as her own, and does not dislike her life experience at all.

It must be known that the finger was married at the beginning, but it was just a joke, and there was no exchange of tokens.

It's a pity that only half a month after marriage, the husband's family was involved in the "Lantian Collaboration with the Enemy Case", the family was robbed, the father-in-law was beheaded, and the whole family was exiled.

The newlywed husband died of illness in prison, she traveled thousands of miles, but after a few years had to remarry her brother-in-law, and when her husband's family finally received a rehabilitation edict from thousands of miles, it was time for her to "die of illness".

Good people are not rewarded.

The Xie family has been a loyal martyr for the country for generations, but the men were sentenced to beheading on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, and their heads fell to the ground, and they were scolded all over the city.

Sitting there was the sister-in-law of the Xie family, who couldn't cry silently, and the twelve-year-old boy next to her endured her grief and comforted her mother.

The twelve-year-old is sensible, he has died of his father, and he does not want to be without a mother again.

Unfortunately, on the way to exile, this child was kicked into the river by the yacha because he secretly went to get clean drinking water for his family, and when he came back, he contracted a cold and died on the way because there was no medicine to cure him.

The sister-in-law of the Xie family is crazy.

The second sister-in-law of the Xie family was born in the door, and she is a strong woman, but it is a pity that she is guilty of being a military woman on the border, and she has too many difficulties to endure.

She tried hard to support the family, but unfortunately the eldest daughter of the fourteen-year-old suddenly disappeared, and when she found it again, this girl who was rough in the wind and sand but had good genes and first appeared in the shape of flowers and bones, appeared on the old bed in the small side room of the Juntuntun Chief's house, her clothes were broken, she was bruised, and she couldn't see it.

Juntuntun has been over forty years for a long time, with a big yellow tooth on his face, his mother-in-law is extremely fierce, and she scolded and dragged the girl with Chiguo out of the gate, and the two doors closed in front of the crazy second sister-in-law Xie.

That night, Xie Er's sister-in-law took out a sword she was hiding, climbed over the wall and crossed into the courtyard of the Juntun Chief, smashed open the gate, and hacked all 13 members of the Juntun Tun Chief's family to death.

She herself was shot with arrows.

The third sister-in-law of the Xie family was born in a tall family, weak and beautiful, she sacrificed the most for the Xie family, and in the military Hutun Town, where it rained a few times a year, there were many noble ladies and noblewomen who would rather die than suffer for a reason.

The feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and when it comes to that kind of place, the more beautiful it is, the more difficult it will be, since the commander made Zhu Mingyou be replaced, the Xie family's situation has suddenly become extremely bad.

In the end, this situation ended when the third sister-in-law walked into the second small outer house purchased by Yan Shichong, the new commander.

Even Mrs. Xun, who is over fifty years old but has well-maintained fine skin and tender meat, has been molested and molested.

As for the original owner.

Someone from outside brought food, and the yacha came from the end of the two long rows of prisons with a large bucket, threw down a wooden plate, scooped a spoonful of unknown pasty porridge water into it, lifted the low window at the bottom of the wooden fence, and pushed through the wooden plate, and then threw down a bag of more than a dozen vegetable cakes.

A boy of about ten years old stood up, and he ran to pull the tub and the old cloth bag and put them in front of his mother and sister-in-law and nephew.

This is the old son of Xie Xinxin and Mrs. Xun, Xie Jiawulang, I don't know if the parents are old, or if they were born a little longer, this child is a little stupid by his father and brother, but he is a brave child.

Because he was protecting the original owner, he was knocked in the back of the head and fell unconscious.

Xie San's sister-in-law invited him to a doctor, and the diagnosis was "stupor" - the so-called stupor, that is, a modern vegetative person.

At that time, the original owner was getting older, and there were many pretenders, and it was difficult to move forward, and Xie Wulang needed people to wait for a long time to eat, drink, defecate, scrub and turn over.

The original owner finally remarried Xie Wulang.

It was forced, but it was also voluntary.

Five years later, the new emperor ascended the throne, the Lantian case was reopened, and the Xie family cleared their grievances.

When the Decree arrives on the north.

The Xie family burst into tears.

Mother-in-law Xun bought arsenic. Frost, first fed a cup to the little son who was not awake on the bed.

Then on the square table, a total of four cups were poured.

"Drink it, drink it, let's go to the ancestral grave of the Xie family together."

Mrs. Xun said with tears in her eyes.

The wind and snow are stripped, but there are only a few people left in the Xie family, four women who have experienced vicissitudes beyond recognition.

They finally waited for the day of Xie Zhaoxue.

But he didn't want Xie's lintel to be ashamed, and when he returned to Beijing, he was baptized by all kinds of eyes and laughed at shame.

Let them wash the stains with blood, put them in the coffin, and reunite with their husbands and children!

……

Gu Wan wiped his face.

It's really a bloody footprint one step at a time.

The difficulty of exile in ancient times, she has already gone through it in the memory of the original owner.

As for running away, don't think about it, if you can run away from the Xie family, the sisters-in-law of the Xie family have already run away with their children, they can not live, but they would rather exchange their lives for their lives and want their children to live.

On the way to exile, the names are called every day, and the method of joint sitting is used, which will implicate the clansmen's mother's family.

Moreover, there are many experienced people on the road to exile, and it is absolutely impossible for these women and children to escape easily.

Even if they really run away from one or two, then the rest of the people will suffer a big crime, and no one in the Xie family is willing to let the family back.

And the most important thing is that the Daqing Dynasty only updated the yellow book of household registration last year, and the household registration management system is quite strict, at least it is not something that a newcomer to the house in Gu Wan can easily get.

If they are found to have no household registration or guide, they will be punished with cane, regardless of whether they are men or women who are sent to the mines as slaves.

If they are fugitives, they will be executed on the spot.

…… The distribution of the mine kiln as a slave is to pierce the words and cut off the ears.

That's not as good as the military town, the distribution and replenishment of the army is only a military household registration, hard work must not leave without permission, there is a field.

Gu Wan touched the wooden basin, there was still a little residual warmth, she sighed and got up and took a few old wooden bowls stacked in the corner, scooped the paste, handed it to a few children, and stuffed one of the vegetable cakes one by one, "Eat first, no matter what, fill your stomach first." ”

Otherwise, when everything is cold, there is not even a trace of warmth.

Not for yourself, but for your children.

The Xie family wiped their tears, fed the children, and stuffed cakes into their mouths.

Gu Wan himself also picked up a vegetable cake and sat on the wheat straw pile with his knees and gnawed, the half-old wheat straw that had not seen the sun for a long time smelled of rotten, and he couldn't stop the cool air from rushing from his buttocks to his whole body.

Gu Wan wanted to look up to the sky and roar, what kind of is this!

It's just that it's better to be alive than dead.

After being smashed, she cherished her life.

But the question is, what to do about this dilemma?

Gu Wan thought about it, but he didn't think that escaping was much better than exile, at least, he still knew which good guy and which bad guy was if he followed the original trajectory.

She stroked her messy bun.

Well, probably, it seems that her only way to save herself is the only one who is said to be the first in Wuling, a young man with fresh clothes and angry hair, a famous man who can write and be martial, and who is actually about to be taken by a dog.

The subsequent tragic experience of this family is to a certain extent attributed to the weakness and loneliness of women and children. As long as there is an adult male family by his side, even if he is really exiled to the military town, the situation will be at least much better.

It is not uncommon for many families to be exiled to the frontier as military households, and it is not uncommon for them to take root.

Hey, so, he can't die of illness under any circumstances!
