Chapter 215 Exiling Prisoners
Chapter 215 Exiling Prisoners
After her mother and aunt understood the situation, Shen Xingmian stopped worrying. Good steel must be used on the blade, and she had to return to space to work.
Three days later, Shen Zhiheng went home for a visit and was shocked when he learned the news.
We have been neighbors for many years. Although we don't move around very much, we are still very familiar with each other, especially since our daughter used to run next door every day when she was a child. Even if he is in the north, he still knows something about the situation.
He was filled with gratitude at that time. The more he felt he owed his little daughter, the more grateful he was to the couple next door.
Later, he heard that their family had suffered great changes. The mountains were high and the rivers were far away, and it was too late to help him. He felt very uncomfortable for a while.
Now, he feels much better now that he can take the person back to his home and let Yanyue have an elder who is connected by blood to love him.
He went to find Shen Xingmian specifically and wanted to hold another reception banquet in the evening to clean up all the bad things in the past.
Of course Shen Xingmian had no objection, even though they hosted a banquet for the two grandma that night, as well as Wanrong's grandma's husband who came to visit the next morning.
But since grandpa felt it was necessary, she was also very happy to have him, the head of the family, give a solemn welcome.
Xiao Yanyue would stay with her grandmother after practicing kung fu in the past three days. Shen Xingmian kept working hard without being disturbed, and planned to take the "inventory" in his hand with his grandfather and send it to the military camp together.
If a carriage is sent to pull it, ten cars are not enough. If she runs it, one trip will be enough.
save time and energy.
This dinner was obviously no longer as restrained as the first day, but the three of them were still a little nervous when they saw Shen Zhiheng, the rumored northern warrior.
Shen Zhiheng expressed a warm welcome to their arrival and asked them to treat this place as their own home. Don't be restrained and just find Mian Mian if you need anything.
The three of them stayed together for a few days and all had a deep understanding of Mianmian's family status. Knowing that there was nothing that this little girl couldn't solve, they all nodded obediently.
Shen Zhiheng was afraid that they wouldn't be able to let go, so he didn't say much. He ate quickly and went to deal with military affairs so that they could feel more at ease.
After Shen Xingmian finished eating, he hurried out and caught up with his grandfather to show him his achievements in the past few days.
Shen Zhiheng's reaction really made her happy. The shocked look in his eyes didn't look like he was pretending at all, haha.
"It's only been a few days, and Mianmian has already produced such a bunch of treasures?!"
Shen Xingmian raised his head proudly and said with a smile: "Well, grandpa now knows what kind of treasure I am, right?"
"Nonsense. We only know this now. We have known it for a long time, okay?"
The grandfather and grandson laughed loudly, and even the group of people still in the dining room could hear it clearly, but they didn't know what they were talking about so happily.
Early the next morning, Shen Xingmian went to the military camp with his grandfather. After placing the weapons, he filled up the granary and provided enough feed for the animals.
Seeing how everyone was busy everywhere, Shen Xingmian felt that she was simply the plus version of the snail girl.
After returning home, life passed smoothly and slowly. One day, my grandfather came home and brought back the news that the group of people who had been exiled with them had finally arrived.
Unlike other people who can stop at any time, the exiled prisoners cannot stop. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, they have to trek all the way.
Needless to say, we suffered a lot on the road. Those who survived were all emaciated and looked like zombies.
The number of people was more than half less than when they fled, which shows how difficult it was along the way.
The officials were also very unhappy. They had never taken on a job with such a bad timing in their lives. They couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year, and they didn't even have a stable place to celebrate the New Year.
These prisoners must continue to be escorted on their way.
Later, they squeezed the exiled prisoners even more harshly. Those who survived had money hidden in their bodies, while those who were not prepared at all had already died of cold and starvation on the road.
After handing over to the government, the officials planned to wait until spring before going back. At least they could sit in a carriage instead of walking.
Moreover, they also collected a lot of money along the way, so they can feel more comfortable when they go back and make up for the sins they suffered when they came here.
Originally, there was a limit on the number of people who could die when escorting prisoners. If half of the people who arrived there died, it would not have much effect on the construction of the penal colony.
But this time is an exception. There is a big problem with time, so the limit on the number of people is relaxed.
They may be scolded when they go back, but they will never be punished.
For those officials who have worked hard all the way, as long as they are not punished and receive a cent of the collected money, the trip will not be in vain.
After listening to her grandfather's description, Shen Xingmian felt that those prisoners were really miserable. If he had committed a crime and was so heinous, he would have deserved to suffer no matter how much he was punished.
But it is really too miserable for someone who has been implicated or simply framed to suffer like this.
"Grandpa, how will those prisoners be dealt with?"
"Usually we arrange accommodation first and then allocate work. It's all dirty work and very hard work." Shen Zhiheng's tone also sounded unbearable. Among those people, there were even some whom he could name. Not a bad person.
"Grandpa, you are the most powerful person in the north now. If you want to help them, you can do it. Who can restrict you? Or do you have any worries?"
Shen Zhiheng was silent for a while, and finally said firmly: "No, I want to help them."
Shen Xingmian also became happy: "Okay, then I'll go with grandpa to help them take a look. I'm freezing and hungry all the way, so I'm definitely not in good health."
"okay."
The grandfather and grandson led the troops to the place where the exiled prisoners were settled that day. They set up pots and distributed hot porridge and steamed buns so that those people could have a full meal first.
Someone recognized Shen Zhiheng. Unexpectedly, the general who was sentenced to exile could actually go to the north before them and continue to be a general after escaping.
This ability is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Those people didn't say anything, but honestly made hot porridge, took the steamed buns, and went to the side to eat with great gratitude.
It's just that my eyes will still peek from time to time, weighing in my mind.
The emperor had caused them such misery. If they continued to be common people in Linyue, what awaited them would be endless hard work.
Who wants to live like that?
They didn't do anything wrong. Who doesn't know that the prince's party is being desired?
Who can be willing to be tortured like this because he is related to the prince? Who doesn’t have some revenge in his heart?
Now, General Shen, who was also framed, is right in front of them and is doing well. Why can't they defect to their new master?
