Sheng Nanxi glanced at him and saw Sheng Dehai, who was dishevelled and dirty, yelling at the top of his lungs.
Sheng Dehai's face flushed red. He felt that everything that had happened from last night to today had almost pissed him off.
First, a thief came out of nowhere and robbed me of everything, and also poured sewage all over me.
I wanted to quickly complete the task assigned by my uncle, and then take a good bath.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he was also sentenced to exile. He was searched and changed into prison clothes, and then he was sent to exile.
놛Now my body was sticky and smelly. The dregs of sewage had been blown by the wind into icy shards that were stuck in my messy hair.
I felt cold, tired and hungry.
What's even more infuriating is that the family of the eldest wife who was exiled was always taken care of by the officials on the road and took advantage of them in various ways.
An old saying goes that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth.
Sheng Dehai was standing in the cold wind, gnawing on a stone-like black steamed bun, but he saw the people in the big house eating large, soft white steamed buns while warming themselves by the fire.
The long suppressed grief and anger broke out completely, swallowing up the last bit of rationality. He shouted loudly, asking the officials to give them the same treatment as the first wife.
Seeing that the officials were busy eating dry food and ignored him, he began to criticize the "heartless" people in the eldest wife.
"Li Zhenyi! We in the Sheng family haven't even divided our rooms yet! Why are you doing this to our roommates?! Can you bear to let us freeze outside?!"
"They say that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. How can you be such an elder sister-in-law?! You get a good place to eat and drink, while we are left outside starving and freezing?!"
“…”
"Sheng Yichen! You bastard! There are so many things in your bag, but you only feed them to that damned girl Sheng Nanxi, and don't know how to use them to honor your elders!"
"She doesn't need to hurry. Just give her a couple of sips of soup so she doesn't starve to death. Why does she need to eat such delicious food?! Why don't you share some of the things in your bag with us, so that others won't scold you for being disrespectful, unkind and unjust!"
“…”
Sheng Dehai was talking a lot outside. He just felt that the people in the first house were still as easy to talk to as before. He wanted to force them to share some of their food with him.
The people in the first room had already seen through 놛's true face. They were all too lazy to pay attention to 놛.
The old fellow became more and more ruthless as he spoke, and he even started to curse Sheng Nanxi.
Now everyone in the big room was furious. Sheng Yichen raised his fist and prepared to go out and have a good "reasoning" with him.
But someone acted faster than 놛!
“Pah—”
The crisp sound of a whip hitting flesh echoed throughout the valley.
Then, the deputy captain Liu Ming shouted:
"You old bastard! I don't even want to bother with you, but you keep talking! There are only a few people who have the final say in this exile team. I can give preferential treatment to whoever I want! Do I need you to give me instructions?!"
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
Liu Ming looked very angry and whipped Sheng Dehai hard several times.
"How dare you accuse the first wife of being disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust?!"
"I just heard it! You old fool, you have been cursing the people from the big house all the way!"
"You slandered the Third Young Master for not respecting the elderly, and caused your First Wife to be exiled; those who cursed the First Wife should be killed..."
"I ignored you, which is a kindness! If I wanted to be with the people from the Sheng family's eldest branch, I would have beaten you long ago! With your behavior, you still want others to share food with you?!"
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
Liu Ming had a look of indignation on his face, and each whip was more severe than the last.
"Wuwu... Sir... Sir, I was wrong... Sir... Please spare my life, I won't dare to do it again..."
Every time the barbed whip hit, a trail of blood and flesh flew.
The old wounds on Sheng Dehai's body had not yet scabbed over, and several new wounds had appeared on his body.
The pain made him cry and hide everywhere.
Deputy Constable Liu Ming sneered repeatedly, and not only did he not stop, he even increased the strength.
"Oh! You know you were wrong now? It's too late!"
"The rules of our exile team: Those who violate the order will be whipped 20 times! Don't want to be beaten? Pay silver to redeem it!"
“Woo woo woo…”
Sheng Dehai was robbed of everything before he was exiled, how could he have any money now? !
He just begged and twisted his body as much as he could to dodge.
Liu Ming's whip seemed to have eyes. No matter how I tried to dodge, it would always land on me accurately.
Sheng Dehai was beaten so hard that he cried for his parents and screamed in agony.
However, all the dozen or so concubines looked as if it had nothing to do with them.
These people followed Sheng Dehai before, but it was just a show. Now they know Sheng Dehai is unreliable, and they all think about how to protect themselves. Even if some of them have hidden private money, no one is willing to pay to redeem him.
As the principal wife, Zhang sat further away from them.
Originally, she was caught having an affair last night and was going to be divorced and sent home. Zhang felt that her life had hit rock bottom.
Who would have thought that after being sentenced to exile, Sheng Dehai actually said that giving her a divorce letter would be too easy for her, and he refused to divorce her no matter what. As a result, she had no choice but to be exiled with this family!
Now Sheng Dehai also knew that Zhang's two sons and one daughter were no longer his own, and he had no good face towards the three of them.
Zhang was also too lazy to bother herself. She took her two sons and one daughter and sat far away from the people in the room.
Seeing Sheng Dehai being beaten, she felt extremely relieved. How could she care about his life or death?!
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
"Ouch! Sir, please...please...wuwu..."
Knowing that Sheng Dehai couldn't come up with a single cent, Liu Ming's men showed no mercy and whipped him ten times before stopping and returning to the place where the officers rested.
Sheng Dehai was left lying half dead on the snow, covered in blood...
Seeing Uncle Xiao, the accomplice who caused the whole family to be exiled, being beaten, Sheng Nanxi felt happy, but she couldn't help but frowning her delicate eyebrows.
According to the original book, Li Feihu, the leader of the escorting exile team, was indeed a relatively upright man, and he never made things difficult for the people of the Sheng family's eldest house from beginning to end.
But this deputy captain named Liu Ming is the extra character she created after changing the plot...
Although Liu Ming gave the Sheng family's eldest wife many benefits along the way, Sheng Nanxi always felt that there was something weird in these benefits.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that 놆놛 just stood up for the eldest wife and taught Uncle 괗 a lesson.
Although the situation has calmed down now, the surrounding prisoners look at the eldest wife with more jealousy and resentment.
These actions of 놛 don't seem like 놆 is helping 놛 us. It seems more like 놆 wants to put 놛 us on a pedestal, arousing everyone's jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Eventually it aroused the public outrage of all the exiles!
Make all the fugitives become enemies of the Sheng family’s eldest branch!
So here comes the problem, Uncle Ko is obviously the uncle of the king.
Sheng Nanxi guessed without hesitation that the uncle sentenced the first wife to exile. On the one hand, he wanted to teach the uncle a lesson for his incompetence, and on the other hand, he wanted to monitor the first wife.
But this official named Liu Ming was obviously not on the same side as Uncle Gui.
It is also said that in addition to the uncle and the emperor, someone else has planted people in the exile team, trying to kill the eldest branch of the Sheng family!
Sheng Nanxi's mind was working frantically, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
But at this moment, Liu Ming's rather flattering voice suddenly rang out from above:
"Old madam, eldest madam, and two young masters, I have always looked up to the reputation of King Qin, so I can't help but want to help you."
"You must be tired after walking all this way. The snow is heavier further north, and it's hard to walk, let alone you're pushing a wheelchair."
"It just so happens that we have a donkey cart with some empty seats. You and your family can take turns sitting on it and rest for a while while we hurry on our way."
Seeing Liu Ming coming over familiarly, he was about to help the Sheng family get a few things.
Sheng Nanxi couldn't help but tighten her hands, and pulled the dirty ground.
