The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Chapter 130 was written into the death list

The group of people took out simple pots and pans, picked up the white snow on the ground, put it into a large iron pot, and began to melt it.

During this kind of rest, they don't know how to light a fire to cook. In general, they just find some firewood, boil snow water, and take a casual bite of the dry food they make on weekdays.

Drinking the scalding water, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Stories full of stories, and the misery of these days apart, he has nothing to tell.

As for the Yu family, the Bai family, and the Liu family, it was as if they were breathing, and no one was curious about what happened to them these days, and no one came up to say a word to them.

Everyone was wearing thick cotton-padded jackets that they were not wearing for the time being, and sat on the spot, warming themselves around the fire, eating boiled snow water and dry food to satisfy their hunger. Even if they occasionally communicated, they were only talking in low voices.

This relationship can never go back to the past, and it can't go back to the time before their Zhang family left selfishly.

Even though they were already injured, Yu Zhengqing didn't intend to give them any medicine, but simply shared some food, everyone ate something good, took a short rest, and then planned to move on.

"Dad, now there are eight more of them, and their horses don't have sleighs. How can we get here?"

"It's okay. We'll be there in two more days at most. Even if we have sleigh cars, as prisoners, we can't ride in them. When the time comes, we may have to discard some of these sleigh cars."

"Why did you throw them away? We made these things with great difficulty and hard work. When you bribe those yamen servants, by the way, reveal the identity of Prince An Rong, and the situation in the imperial city. Who would dare to embarrass you?" you."

Yu Haojie has thought about these sleighs. He will definitely have two of them when the time comes, and even horses. Although their family also has some, it can be said that if they hadn't taken action, those bandits would have been killed. , and those officials did it, let alone getting these things, maybe everyone would be dead.

It was rare to see his younger brother interrupting to talk to him. Yu Zhengqing was naturally excited, but his expression remained the same.

"That's okay. I just don't know what will happen after meeting the Yamen servant. I'll just act according to the circumstances."

Because of Zhang Yuan and the others, although the children and women could barely hold each other and squeeze together to make room for them, their speed dropped significantly.

The next day, after noon, the group got off the sleigh and started walking forward.

Because they saw a stone house from a distance, standing in the wind and snow, and two people in official clothes, warming up outside the stone house, looking very comfortable.

The strong smell of barbecue rose into the sky along with the billowing white smoke. After walking for a quarter of an hour, the group put on their anklets and ropes again, and put on their prison uniforms.

"Hey, there's a new guy here again? There are a lot of people this time. What about Liang Chao? Are you new here?"

The two men in yamen uniforms saw a group of people and convoys approaching from a long distance away. Such a large group really surprised them, but what was even more surprising was that there were more than 100 criminals in this group.

And there are actually a lot of women and children left this time!

This was something Liang Chao had never done in more than ten years of escorting criminals.

Everyone knows exactly what it is!

After all, it was impossible to cross Jiuchong Mountain, pass through the hands of the natives and bandits, and still leave so many women and children behind, just with Liang Chao's old tricks.

The two yamen servants, covered in white snow, were sitting on low stools warming up by the fire. They looked at Yu Zhengqing who walked in wearing official clothes, without even raising their heads. Their eyes continued to fall on their barbecue, and the movements of their hands continued. Flipping the barbecue, with a careless appearance, it seems that he has already become accustomed to this land.

"Two officers, this is my first time leading a team. This time Commander Liang has been transferred and went to another place. If nothing happens in the future, I will hand it over to you two officers."

"Ah? Liang Chao was transferred? Why so suddenly? He actually has such shitty luck!"

One of the younger yamen servants was holding the barbecue in his hand. When he heard Yu Zhengqing's words, his calm expression finally showed a hint of surprise, and even a bit of envy in his eyes.

"Yes, he was lucky enough to meet a noble person who came down from above. Just flattering him and wanting to be transferred are not words from a noble person."

"Yes, everyone knows that the work in this wild land is hard. Liang Chao has been walking this road for more than ten years. He has made enough money in his pocket. Who is willing to stay if there is such an opportunity? Are you going to suffer in such a bitter and cold place? If it were me, I would be eager to leave as soon as possible.

Bring the booklet and follow me into the house to get it stamped! "

The older yamen servant put the barbecue in his hand into the younger yamen servant's hand. Facing the arrival of Yu Zhengqing and his entourage, he was careless. When he heard about Liang Chao's opportunity, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of sour envy in his tone. .

When Yu Zhengqing looked at these two people, he knew that they had been here for a long time.

Hearing what the old yamen officer said, he hurriedly took out the booklet he took from Liang Chao and handed it over.

On the booklet was the list of prisoners Liang Chao was escorting this time, as well as the number of prisoners left when the previous government officials handed them over to Liang Chao.

The prisoners who did not arrive must have died on the way. Even if they were not dead, the escorting officers would say they were dead.

After all, if they escaped, then the higher-ups would blame them, they would only say that they were ineffective, and they would definitely be punished.

On the road to exile, dead people are very normal, so those who did not appear in this booklet were also included in the death list.

Of course, Yu Zhengqing added the names of all the people who parted ways with them after killing the officials before, and put them in the category of the dead.

These people were dead in Yu Zhengqing's eyes, and they were considered dead in the hands of the government officials who took over this wild land.

Naturally, in the eyes of the world, they have since died, so even if they become fugitives, they can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests for a lifetime.

"What's the matter? There are quite a lot of people who were exiled this time. Although nearly a hundred of them died, there are still so many women and children left among your more than 100 criminals..."

Having said this, the old government official couldn't help but shook his head, signed his name on the book, then took out his official seal and printed it on it again.

Seeing that the old government servant who stamped his own seal without even checking whether the number of people on the booklet matched the number of living criminals, Yu Zhengqing couldn't help, but again Shrunk back.
