Of course, this "transfer" also had a purpose for the officials who were escorting them.
As for its purpose, we'll see later.
Upon hearing Yang Yi's shout, the exiled group swallowed hard and reluctantly followed him to the official post station.
They didn't have Ouyang Yuqing's guts to buy things so casually.
If they disobey, the barbed whip could be used against them at any time.
The entire group walked for fifteen minutes before reaching the official post station.
Yang Yi led his men into the post station, where he found the person in charge and exchanged travel permits.
The person in charge of the post station counted the number of people and exchanged travel permits.
After the exchange, Yang Yi led the exiled prisoners to the post station hall to wait.
He then instructed his subordinates to collect food and daily necessities for their journey of exile.
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Yang Yi looked at the group of exiled prisoners who were waiting for him.
He said to the exiled prisoners, "Later, I will allow each of your families to send one person out to buy daily necessities for your journey through exile."
However, prohibited items cannot be purchased. These prohibited items include things like knives, guns, clubs, and drugs.
You better make this clear: if I find out that any of you are carrying contraband...
You should all know that while one or two people might die on the way to exile, I have a quota for deaths.
In a little while, those sent out to purchase supplies are not allowed to escape.
Of course, if you weren't stupid, you wouldn't have thought of running away so soon after leaving the capital.
I'm not afraid of you escaping. If I catch anyone who tries to escape...
"Hehe," then you're not far from death.
Okay, now you can discuss with your family who should go out to buy supplies.
But before buying supplies, shouldn't we...?
Seeing Yang Yi's actions, Shen Yingying thought to herself, "Heh heh."
She thought to herself: What a scoundrel! He's begging money from an exiled convict.
Shen Yingying thought to herself.
Some of the exiled prisoners began to confirm her idea.
From the exile procession emerged a middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat sleazy appearance.
He bowed and scraped as he walked up to Yang Yi, took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his sleeve, and handed it to Yang Yi.
Sir, you must have had a hard time escorting us on the road. Keep this money for a cup of tea.
Yang Yi looked at the man and said, "Hmm, you're very perceptive. Go and choose someone to go out and buy supplies."
"Yes, sir!"
The middle-aged man did not leave after answering his question.
Yang Yi glanced at him and asked again, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The middle-aged man heard Yang Yi ask him a question.
He hurriedly bowed and scraped to Yang Yi, saying, "Sir, it's like this, I have elderly people and young children at home, could you allow me to buy an oxcart?"
This way, the officials' journey to exile would not be delayed.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Yang Yi thought to himself: Damn it, buying an oxcart? Is this a trip to enjoy a life of luxury, or a journey to exile?
However, he thought that since Ouyang Yuqing already had a horse-drawn carriage, why would he care about an oxcart?
Besides, having an oxcart does make traveling much more convenient.
So he said to the middle-aged man, "Buying an oxcart... is not impossible, but the risk of buying an oxcart would be too great for me..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man took out a twenty-tael silver coin from his pocket and handed it to Yang Yi, saying, "Sir, I understand... This is my tribute to you."
Yang Yi took the silver note and glanced at its value.
He glanced at the middle-aged man again and said, "Alright, what can I do? I'm just a kind-hearted official."
I grant your permission. Send someone out to buy it.
The middle-aged man immediately heard Yang Yi agree.
He quickly said to Yang Yi, "Thank you, sir, I'll go right away."
