How did a good exile turn into a runaway?

Zhao Wencong thought he was causing trouble for him again. When he saw this situation, his face turned dark. The two people on the left and two on the left were wary of the surroundings.
The ones from the right and the second from the right just came today. When they saw this situation, they looked at each other and looked around cautiously. They were about to dismount and go to check, but they didn't make any move.

Four thin and ragged people emerged from the nearby bushes. Without saying a word, the four people moved quickly to lift the huge tree across the road.

It was obvious that he saw that the group of people in front of him were untouchable and wanted them to leave immediately, so he showed up and moved the wood away.
Shen Qiuge frowned a little strangely and asked Ju Da and others,
"There have been no wars or famines in the past two years. It seems that the condition of these people is caused by long-term malnutrition. How could this happen? And we have only left the city not long ago. Where did these people come from?"

Ju Da and the others were very surprised when they heard this. They were all not far away and the second one on the right naturally heard it too. He drew his sword and pointed it at one of them.
"Where are you all from? What's going on? You dare to intercept me. It's obvious that you are impatient."

The four people were already frightened and nervous when they heard this. The wood fell to the ground. One of them took the lead and knelt down, and the others also followed suit and begged for mercy.
"Spare your life, sir, spare your life. We had no choice. We escaped all the way without any money or food. We met a kind-hearted scholar on the road. He gave us an idea and said that we could block the road in this area. There are some people passing by. Rich people will give you a few cents, and we decided to do this because we have no way to survive. So far we have only asked for eight cents, and we have not attacked the old, weak, women and children, please spare your lives!"

The others did not refute what this person said, but kept kowtowing, and finally said in unison the words of begging for life.

"You said you escaped. Where did you escape from? Tell the truth. If it is true, I can let you go. If there is even half a word of lies, then you don't have to waste food anymore."

Zhao Wencong was indeed brought up with care, and his demeanor and tone immediately revealed his style.
He felt even more strange when he heard what the other party said. He had never heard of a disaster somewhere?What's more, if everyone really escapes here, then the matter will definitely be serious.

Grandpa Huang will definitely know, but there is not even a hint of news in the court, but the looks of several people do not look like they are lying.

The person who spoke at the beginning looked at Shen Qiuge and the others. The last few people looked at each other, as if they had finally made up their minds. The person said,
"Returning to the gentlemen, the younger one's surname is Guo Mingyang. Now I am the only one in the family. We are all from Quyang and live in Wuliang Village, Dongshan County, Quyang. We have known each other since we were children and have a very close relationship.

Later, someone was looking for a job and the young man was not willing to go. However, the elders from the neighborhood said that he was getting older and it was time to save money to marry a wife.

The younger one thought he was right, so he wanted to make some money. He invited a few friends and went up to accept the errand.
I originally said that I would go into the mountains to cut down trees. On the 30th day of the construction period, I would cut down the trees and use them to build houses for wealthy families. I agreed that I would pay [-] cents a day and have three meals a day.

The younger ones thought it was okay, so they went and walked into the mountain for five days. Who would have thought that we would be asked to dig in the pit, which is a fatal matter.

The little one was timid, and it was because of the little one's invitation that these people caused this disaster, so they had the courage to run away after a round of planning.

Originally, there were eight of us here, but now only four of us have escaped here. Woooooooooo~ I'm sorry for them.

We are registered as road guides now. We don’t have anything and don’t dare to go home anymore, so we want to run away as far away as possible, woo~woo~
Now I have fled to Shangjing, thinking that if I have some money, I can apply for a new household registration, so I came up with this plan. Masters, please forgive us, it is really not easy for us along the way."

The man started crying when he said something sad, but after stumbling, he still explained the matter clearly.
Shen Qiuge didn't look like he was lying when he looked at the other party. When the two people were carrying the wood just now, their expressions were obviously injured, "You are quite clever, but tell me how you escaped. Be careful. I'm done. This silver is yours."

Zhao Wencong's brows were furrowed all the time. He didn't know what he was thinking. After listening to Guo Mingyang's words, he suddenly reached out and took out a certain amount of money from his arms and said,
The silver was tossed up and down in Zhao Wencong's hands. Guo Mingyang was obviously tempted, swallowed his saliva and said,

"I'll be brave enough to tell you the truth, but can you let me go? Please!"

"Don't worry, I won't save your lives. If the facts are true, I will send someone to take care of your injuries and reset your household registration. I won't cause you any trouble."

Guo Mingyang turned his head and discussed with his brothers who had experienced life and death for a few words, then turned around and said,
"What happened was that it wasn't us who originally discovered it, but our dead brother. He noticed something was wrong when we were walking halfway, because he often went up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it in the city, so he was very familiar with the route.
As soon as we entered the mountains and walked for a few days, he noticed something was wrong and quietly told us to be careful.
We took a closer look and found that there were too many people in our team, and all the followers were very powerful, and they had obviously been trained.

Brother Zhang was the one who died. He had also practiced so he could tell at a glance. If it weren't for us, he wouldn't have died... ugh~"

While talking, Shen Qiuge and Zhao Wencong started crying again. Shen Qiuge and Zhao Wencong did not interrupt and allowed them to vent their emotions. When they had finished crying, they continued,
"Brother Zhang said that he had been in the mountains before and there was a mine that was strictly controlled. He also discovered it accidentally that time.
He was also very lucky at that time. He was asked by someone to go into the mountains to dig some medicinal materials. Because he was afraid of wolves, he sat on a tree to rest. Someone happened to pass by the tree where he was sitting.

The group chopped off the heads of three people, and then ignored them. They said, subtly and implicitly, that these three people were evil-minded and deserved to run away. Also, how much gold had been dug up this time, and whether the master would Give praise and the like,

Brother Zhang was so frightened that he hid in a tree and didn't dare to say anything. After he had gone a long way, he realized what he was doing and then quietly left.

This time he walked for five days in a row, and the route was in the same direction. He became more and more suspicious, and then he told us. We were frightened when we heard it.
Later we agreed and ran away halfway when we were about to get close to the place.

In the end, we were too nervous and accidentally let them notice that they were chasing us all the way. A few of us escaped by jumping from the cliff into the river, including Brother Zhang, Brother Li, Guo An and Zhao Liu. When he ran away, Zhao Liu was unlucky. When he jumped off the cliff, he hit his head and fell into the river, where he died. "

After speaking, he hit the ground with his fist in despair. Zhao Wencong gave the silver ingot in his hand to the second person on the right and asked him to take these people back and take good care of them.
Ask his father to investigate this matter. Is it true?The handover is over, and then we go back along the way.

Shen Qiuge just listened to the story the whole time. If someone interfered, she would naturally not interfere anymore. After all, he was also a member of the prime minister's family, so he was much easier to use than her.
But how big must this mountain be?After walking for five days in a row, Shen Qiuge became interested in this. After all, many talents and treasures live in such deep mountains.
When Guo Mingyang was talking just now, she listened carefully to the address he mentioned and planned to go for a walk in the mountains.
Zhao Wencong didn't know what the person next to him was planning. He was still thinking about what he just heard.

The governor of Quyang is Qian Sijing, the father of Concubine Wei. It is not known whether he was a participant in this matter or whether he was really unaware of it.

Wondering if you should go and see it yourself?By the way, I also help my father share the burden.
Zhao Wencong thought in his mind and quickly gave instructions.
Now that the road is clear, the group of people rides forward again, as if what just happened did not disturb their emotions.
