After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 144 Major General, be careful!
The scorching sun in winter seems to be wearing a layer of cold clothes. Although it looks warm, the temperature still doesn't rise.

Because Wang Chong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, temporarily transferred people, the exile team was delayed for more than half a day at the Gyeongju South Coast Post Station, almost consuming the time saved by the team's detour from the foot of Xishan Mountain again.

After Xiong Jiushan came back to take charge, adjutant Cheng Ye retreated behind him and led the other escorts to follow Xiong Jiushan's instructions to replenish supplies for the next journey from Qingzhou Station.

Gyeongju Yi Cheng took advantage of this and turned a blind eye, leaving the reception to the servants below. He washed and changed his clothes to prepare for another high-status adult who was about to arrive today.

Cheng Ye felt uncomfortable when he saw Qingzhou Yicheng's appearance. He grabbed the clerk who was working and asked around, "Why do you want to come here with such a grand ceremony?"

Cheng Ye was generous and worldly, and the clerk also received some financial benefits in private, so he didn't hide it from him, "I heard from someone other than Cui that a minister from the capital is coming to Qingzhou today."

"Executive member Cui? How could a member of the outside world have such good information?"

"Mr. Cui is not an ordinary person. As adults, you will know if you step forward."

The clerk didn't want to explain any more. Once Cheng Ye's men finished all the work and the two parties settled the bills, the trip would be over.

Cheng Ye went back to talk to Xiong Jiushan about this in detail. The expression on Xiong Jiushan's face did not change, as if he had already known about it.

"A Yi Cheng can eat and take cards as he pleases, even if he doesn't have many backers behind him."

Xiong Jiushan was indeed not surprised. He learned the lesson early in the morning.

In his opinion, if Qingzhou Yi Cheng did not bother to investigate the special situation of the Xie family prisoners in the team, he would just raise his hand.

The Xie family's identity is sensitive, so the Yi Cheng didn't even raise a hand, only losing a little money to deal with it.

but……

Thinking of what Qingzhou Yi Cheng said to him at the dinner table early in the morning, Xiong Jiushan still had a headache.

time does not wait.

The team cannot delay any longer. No matter how troublesome it is to cross Panlong Ridge ahead, it is important to get on the road first and think of countermeasures as we go.

Fortunately, there are still a few days left for him to prepare.

A huge group of people set out from the post station early in the morning with shackles on. After walking ten miles, there was no one behind them. After leaving the place where the government could easily check, in order to speed up the journey, Xiong Jiushan asked his men to remove the shackles of the prisoners and change their shackles. Although it is not convenient to move around with shackles on the hands, many prisoners still feel much more comfortable because the weight on their shoulders is reduced by 20 to 30 kilograms.

Cheng Ye and other officials did not agree very much, but Xiong Jiushan took the lead, and the others could not say anything.

When there are many people, everyone should put on the shackles and move forward; when there is no one around, try to move as lightly as possible under the premise of safety.

In order to ensure that he arrived at the destination of Liaozhou on time for handover, after research, Xiong Jiushan felt that the only way to speed up the process before leaving customs was to leave enough room for accidents on the way.

Many knowledgeable prisoners in the team also noticed Xiong Jiushan's thoughts.

Xie Yuchuan took off the shackles around his neck and handed them to other prisoners who were working as escorts. Zhang Hanlin's voice came from behind him.

"Xiong Jiushan is in a hurry?"

Xie Yuchuan raised his head and glanced forward, stretched his sore neck from left to right, pinched his wrist and thought for a while, then said: "It should also save everyone's physical strength."

"Save your strength?" Zhang Dayi smacked his lips and whispered to Xie Yuchuan as he walked: "I heard from Brother Wuying that Panlongling is not going well."

Xie Yuchuan: "Yes, it's difficult."

"Young General, please be careful." "Thank you, sir, for the reminder." Xie Yuchuan knew that Zhang Dayi's words were not only reminding him about banditry, but also something else.

Seeing that he understood, Zhang Dayi smiled on his face.

After the two families got closer, Zhang Dayi felt more and more that as long as the Xie family could survive, the future would not be too bad.

After all, with the blessing of the gods, when they arrived in the exile, the Xie family's children were strong and well-versed in literature, so they could always find a way to survive. If they were lucky enough and could make some contributions in the border areas, they would not have to worry about their recovery in the future.

Zhang Dayi has no worries and thinks quite openly.

Although the journey to exile was still difficult, my mentality was different, and the pain seemed to be less while traveling. It was not like before, when I was exhausted physically and mentally and had a dark cloud hanging over my head.

Xie Yuchuan's eyes lightly swept over Zhang Hanlin's profile.

The two of them walked together, Zhang Dayi's mother and the Xie family's female dependents were together. The Xie family had many female dependents, and they took good care of the old lady. The two families gradually became like a family.

Mrs. Xie also had one more talking peer. It was hard to travel on the road, and no one had the energy to talk. They could exchange a few words with each other from time to time during breaks.

Thanks to Tuhua's supplies, the Xie family avoided hunger on the road. Although they were tired, their condition was always much better than that of other prisoners.

After Xiong Jiushan came back, he didn't know what stimulated him, but he actually didn't let his officers deduct food from the prisoners anymore.

The government doesn't pay much for escorting.

If all of this is given to the prisoners, how much money will be left in the end?

Brothers, all the hard work going back and forth, isn’t that hard work in vain? !
Some government officials felt unhappy and whispered privately, and the words were passed around and finally reached Liu Chang's ears. He was also upset. Just now, he had fallen in love with a female prisoner. He had just touched her a few times before being scolded by Xiong Jiushan who was passing by. He thought he was not doing his job well and was being lazy and slippery.

Liu Qianwo was so angry that he reluctantly let go of the little lady and went back to complain to the old government servant who was taking him on errands.

"What's going on, Mr. Xiong? You looked wrong when you came back yesterday! You don't like anyone today."

The old yamen officer has been serving as an errand beside Xiong Jiushan, and he is regarded as the superior errand of the yamen officers. In previous years, the task of escorting prisoners was the job of their third class yamen officers, but this time there were more people from the military camp.

An old government official couldn't afford to mess with someone like Xiong Jiushan who had an official status. Xiong Jiushan was not a high-ranking official, but he would kill anyone if he was a high-ranking official. What's more, he, an old government official, had nothing but more experience.

When Liu Zai and the others were on official business, their hands and feet were sometimes dirty. He knew it in his heart, and he felt that Lord Xiong should also know it. He didn't ask much when he saw it before, but this time when he came back, even he felt that something had changed in Xiong Jiushan.

"Don't tell me, even I can see that something is wrong with you."

"Did you feel aroused by being taken away by the commanding officer?" Liu Jian really felt that the brothers would be uncomfortable if this continued.

The old yamen officer thought for a while and said, "There is also a possibility."

"What's possible?" Yamen servant Liu Che was curious.

The old yamen officer looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency received the news in advance from the Commander-in-Chief."

"what news?"

"How did I know!" The old government officer glared at him, "Go away! Go and do your work quickly. There is no need to guess back and forth. Let those people stop mumbling. Don't blame me for not reminding you that there are some words Forget it if you complain in your heart, it will be heard in your ears. Do you want to do the next errands well? "
