First he called Ke Xiucai and his wife, and then he called Ke Muqing "big sister".

"Dad, eldest sister, just follow the team in a moment. I have already said hello to my colleagues in advance." Yin Tang lowered his voice when he said this.

"There will be a carriage following us over there. Inside is the former Mrs. Li San, who has reconciled with the third wife of the Li family. I heard from colleagues in the capital that she is also following us. Everyone turns a blind eye as long as she doesn't get in the way. We are on official business, so no one cares about her."

Yin Tang just came over to say hello and give a few words, and then left in a hurry.

When Ke Muqing heard that he mentioned the former Mrs. Li San, she immediately became curious and turned to look at a carriage over there that was as simple as her own carriage.

But the former Mrs. Li San was sitting in the carriage and did not come out. Standing outside the carriage were a maid and a groom holding a whip. As soon as Yang saw Ke Muqing, curiosity was almost written on his face. He took two steps towards Ke Muqing and spoke in a lowered voice. "My master, I know about the Li family. It is said that the Li family's exile is related to my previous master's family. It is a coincidence that my previous master's family is also among the prisoners who were exiled to Lingnan today."

Yang Yi also took the opportunity to talk about his relationship with his former master's family. He was waiting to set off and let his family know when he was on the way.

Ke Muqing looked at Yang Yi, "Say."

"The Li family was originally a third-rank military general in the capital. They were colleagues with my former master's family, the Huang family, but the Li family's official position was higher than that of my former master's family."

"The officials of the Li family were built by the husband of the Li family who fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. The Li family had great military exploits and had been stationed in the frontier for more than ten years. After taking the throne, the Li family was recalled from the frontier. Only then did the Li family settle in Beijing. .”

"Some time ago, my former master denounced the Li family in front of me and listed many charges. All the men of the Li family were thrown into prison. Since then, the military power of the Li family has been taken away. All the men of the Li family who are over fourteen years old have been All the kings were beheaded, and the remaining female relatives and husbands under the age of fourteen were all exiled to Lingnan."

"My former master, Mr. Huang, thought that he would be able to rise to the top with this contribution. He even thought that he could fill the vacancy in General Li's military position. But I didn't expect that in order to calm down the public anger, I would put the knife on the Huang family's neck again."

"The old man and uncle of the Huang family were also beheaded on charges of corruption, and the rest of the Huang family were exiled to Lingnan together."

Yang Yi sneered when he said this, "It's really interesting today that the Li family's family members and the Huang family's family members were sent into exile at the same time."

"Master, the people exiled from the Li family are just the few in the team, the old, the young, and the two women."

"You see, the oldest member of the Li family's team is the old lady of the Li family. On her left is Mrs. Li. Next to Mrs. Li are her eldest daughter and second son. Her eldest daughter is now fifteen this year. It turns out that both of them are We were about to get married, but because of the Li family incident, we were called off."

"The second wife of the Li family is behind. There are two husbands in the second room of the Li family. One of them happens to be fourteen, and he is also very lucky. If he had been born two months earlier, he would have been beheaded this time. The younger one is only twelve this year."

"The three children led by Mrs. Li are the children of the third room of the Li family. The eldest husband is twelve years old, the middle one is a ten-year-old girl, and the bottom one is a seven-year-old husband."

"The former Mrs. Li San on the carriage was the mother of these three children. When the Li family incident happened, Mrs. Li San and her husband returned to their parents' home. She thought she was a ruthless person, but she unexpectedly followed them."

Ke Muqing said, "She is a smart person. She can save one by one. At least she and Li Guijia will have more freedom. She will follow them all the way. At least she will have someone to take care of the Li family."

Yang nodded, "General Li is a good person. The men of the Li family are all brave and good at fighting. Unexpectedly, they all fell into the conspiracy of the court. It is a pity." "The old lady and the three ladies of the Li family are also good people. The men of the Li family enter After being imprisoned, they burned all the deeds of sale of all the servants of the Li family, and freed the servants who had served them loyally for many years. They also dispersed the family property so that the servants could return to their hometowns and live in peace, without having to be exiled with the Li family. suffering."

"When the Li family came out of the capital, the servants were all thinking of their master's kindness and sent them all the way, preparing food and shoes."

"My former master's Huang family is different." Yang Yiyi said, "As soon as the Huang family's son was arrested, several wives of the Huang family competed to share the Huang family's property. Even the children of our family were in their eyes. money."

"Before the charges against the husband of the Huang family were settled, the old lady and several ladies sent us servants to the dental shop, and sold us for money and divided the houses among them."

"It's ridiculous to say that, but the Huang family's family members were also sentenced to confiscation and exile, and the Huang family didn't leave a penny."

Yang Yi pointed at the noisy group of people not far behind the Li family's team and said, "Master, look, that group is my former master's family, and it is also the third master. But in addition to the third master who is a concubine, the Huang family One room, the other two rooms are full of wives and concubines, and the children are born in litters."

"The Li family has a good family tradition. The sons of the Li family have family rules. Only those who are forty and have no children can take concubines." Yang Dao said, "After they are both military generals, the young men of the Li family are all heroic. Let's look at the young men of the Huang family. Gentlemen, all of you are fat and empty-headed."

Ke Muqing glanced at what Yang Yi said about the Li family and the Huang family. Yang Yi was not talking nonsense about this. Indeed, he could spot the difference in family tradition between the two families at a glance.

Even though the children of the Li family were wearing wooden shackles and shackles, they still stood there without losing their bearing as military generals. No matter how tired they were, they could stand up straight and never slump.

And a group of children from the Huang family were crying and shouting that they were tired.

Ke Muqing returned to the carriage, and Yang Shuangshuang and his children were still sleeping soundly in the carriage.

The children got up early and fell asleep again soon after washing and getting on the carriage. The noise outside could not wake any of them up.

It was foggy in the early morning. Ke Muqing tucked in the quilts of several children. After waiting for a short while, he heard the yamen servant waving his whip and shouting to start. After a while, Yang Yi also drove the carriage forward. gone.

The exile team was very long, but they had to travel every day, and they had to walk at least forty or fifty kilometers a day, so the walking speed was not slow.

If someone falls behind, the good-tempered yamen officer will yell at the top of his lungs. If he encounters an impatient yamen officer, he won't even bother to say a word, and the long whip will fall directly on the person.

After walking about ten miles, Yang Yi suddenly opened the carriage curtain and whispered to Ke Muqing, "Master, someone has been following us secretly. They have been following us since we came out of the county seat, and they have followed us for ten miles."

"Don't worry, we just pretend we don't know what to do." All Ke Muqing could think of was what Ke Zhaodi might have mentioned to her.
