Just After Transmigrating as the Female Side Character, I'm About to Be Exiled

(Transmigration + Slow Romance + Female Side Character) Tong Wen Yao woke up one day to find herself transmigrated as the young lady of the Tong family.


She didn't enjoy the la...

Chapter 15 Imperial Edict

Zhang Li glared at her fiercely with a cruel look in his eyes, but when she thought of the Tong family's situation, she straightened her chest to show that she was not afraid.

Anyway, I have already offended the Zhang family by speaking today, so I'm afraid I'll have to be careful to avoid them in the future.

Second Uncle spoke again at this time, "You also caught a hare in the woods yesterday. Just give it to us as compensation!"

Aunt Du was also a little anxious at this time, and immediately opened her mouth and blurted out, "You want to eat shit, and you want my rabbit meat." After the second uncle glanced at her, he immediately shut his mouth. Even if the Tong family member is not a soldier, the aura on his body is still frightening.

After hearing this, Zhang Li gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, very good, why don't you go and give the rabbit to them." After this incident, the two families had a grudge against each other. When Tong's mother came back and heard what they had said, she couldn't help but look worried.

"I heard that Zhang Li has a good relationship with Officer Zheng. Will he make trouble for us later?" She couldn't help but analyze while holding his hand.

Tong Bo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "We can't rule out this possibility, so we have to cheer up. We can reach Yuguan County tomorrow."

While it was still early in the morning, everyone couldn't sleep because Aunt Du said there was a ghost. The weather had turned cold, so they gathered around the fire and boiled some water to drink so they could cook food later.

Tong Wen Yao was gnawing on the rabbit leg with gusto. No wonder they refused to take the rabbit over. It turned out to be a fat and tender rabbit. They made a lot of money this time.

Aunt Du was still terrified of ghosts, easily startled by the slightest movement. Seeing her like this, Zhang Li felt irritated and resentful of the Tong family. Humph, they ate meat every day, but just because they took two fish, they kept demanding compensation.

"Stop crying and give me the other rabbit." Aunt Du's eyes widened, not understanding why he wanted another rabbit. Seeing that he wanted to hit someone again, she hurriedly handed him the rabbit from the bowl.

Zhang Li weighed it a few times with his hands, then gritted his teeth and carried the rabbit out.

In the morning, after eating noodles, they packed their luggage and prepared to set off. The weather was cold today, so Qian's mother took out clothes from the package and gave them to everyone to wear. These were hastily bought by her family at the clothing store after they learned that they were exiled. Some of the clothes did not fit well, but they had to make do with them.

The adults each took on an extra layer of clothing, and the children, who were afraid of the cold, took on two layers. Tong Wenyao only took on one layer, as she was wearing warm clothes underneath and wasn't too cold, so it didn't take up too much clothing and could be left for the others.

She frowned as she touched the thin fabric. It was wearable now, but if the weather got any colder, the thickness of the fabric wouldn't be enough. So, she decided to rush to Yuguan County and settle down there as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the officers soon called in the number of people and set off. Along the way, if they slowed down a little, the officers would urge them to hurry up. Even when they went to the bathroom, they had to go in a hurry. But she saw that others did not do this, which made her a little annoyed.

Tong Wenyao was thinking about letting Guaiguai go and scare them. But she looked down at Guaiguai on her chest and couldn't help but frown. Ever since the weather turned cold, Guaiguai had been hiding in her pocket. Although snakes hibernate, it had never hibernated since she took it over from her master and raised it. So she thought Guaiguai didn't need to hibernate.

But it didn't look like it was hibernating, and was still quite active in her pocket. It was just that she had become less willing to go out. Could it be... afraid of the cold? Thinking of this, she took Guaiguai out and noticed that its tail was trembling. The corners of her mouth twitched.

She was really afraid of the cold, no wonder she didn't like to go out. Then she continued to put it in her pocket to keep it warm. Thinking of this, she was urged to walk faster by the officer behind her.

Thinking this, he walked faster. In the distance, he could see the city gate. This was the first time Tong Wenyao had seen such a high city wall since she traveled through time. From a distance, it seemed to be more than 30 meters high. There were many people queuing at the city gate. After Tong Wenyao arrived, the officers asked them to wait nearby while they went into the city to exchange documents. They also told the officers how many people were there when they arrived and how many were left.

As Lord Chen spoke to the guard, he glanced over before entering the city gate.

Generally, most exiled people went to work in mines or to build siege walls. If they paid for their own redemption, it was possible, but they could not leave the state.

The city structure of the Gan Kingdom was prefectures, counties, and towns. The prisoners were being assigned to Cangzhou, which was why Master Chen had entered the city with the paperwork. After waiting for over two hours, Master Chen finally emerged. This time, the handover team had been decimated, leaving only a few scattered families, including Aunt Mo's family and two less familiar ones.

Next, they had to go to Yuguan County to hand over the paperwork, and that was the end of their trip. Seeing Tong Wenyao looking at them, Tong Bo approached and whispered to me, "These two families are also military families." As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them exchanged a glance. It seemed like the emperor was playing a big game; otherwise, why would he have all the military generals in the same county?

However, when I was reading the book, it seemed that the current emperor did not have many years left. By then, the fight for the throne would surely cause great suffering to the people, so the most important thing was to store more food.

After walking for another three days, they finally arrived in Yuguan County around four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone in the team had a happy look on their faces, but they were a little depressed when they thought about having to work non-stop in the future.

At this time, there were only their team of people at the city gate, no one else.

Master Chen made the Tong family kneel down in public and took out the imperial edict.

Seeing this, the second uncle hurriedly knelt down with his entire family, "By the will of Heaven, I deeply regret the affairs of the Tong family. I have been unable to sleep day and night. I hereby pardon the crimes of the Tong family prisoners and allow them to live as civilians."

The Tong family looked at each other in bewilderment. This... Tong Wen Yao was shocked. She had thought that the emperor would issue them an imperial edict, but she didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder the people of the Tong family were able to fight in the battlefield and win military merits in the later period, but why did the emperor take an extra step and let them be exiled here?

Seeing that everyone in the Tong family was shocked, Lord Chen reminded them, "Hurry up and accept the order." He was a military general but his brain was not as bright as his elder brother, so on the battlefield, he obeyed the general's orders, killed many enemies, and was even given the title of fierce general, but he almost lost his life for this, all thanks to his willpower. Even if he survived, he ended up with a cripple, and had to be an idler at home. If you say that in the battle of Ancang Mountain with his elder brother, everyone knew in their hearts that their Tong family was wronged, but so what, they were still pushed out by people in the court. Fortunately, the emperor knew them and left them a glimmer of hope.

Tong Hong finally reacted and hurriedly led the family behind him to bow and kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
