Chapter 41 Chen Siting's Viciousness
Feng Cha looked at the long line in front, and the people from the Su and Jun families walking together.
"Miss Chen, hurry up. We must reach the post station tonight. Otherwise, with all this snow and no place to rest, many people will freeze to death. As for Su Hanchu and the others, I will naturally discuss this with the other two officers."
As he said this, he rode his horse towards the team in front.
"drive…………"
It was completely dark, and the team finally arrived at the post station with the help of the reflection of the snow.
As soon as the rooms were assigned, Chen Fang whispered something to Chen Siting, and Chen Siting went to Feng Chatou's room. At the door, she deliberately spread out her cloak, revealing the jade pendant around her waist, and reached out to touch the jade pendant.
After entering the door, he bowed and raised his arm, revealing the jade pendant at the waist of his cloak.
"Captain Feng, Si Ting has something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Feng Cha glanced at the jade pendant on her waist, which was a representative jade pendant of the royal family.
"What does Miss Chen want to say?"
Chen Siting sighed and spoke.
"Hey, Captain Feng, I'm worried about everyone. There's still no sign of the six people from the Su and Jun families. The snow is so thick outside, and they've been hungry all the way. I'm afraid they've really escaped.
According to Tianyuan law, if a convict escaped, the escort would be fined three months' salary and whipped thirty times. If two or three convicts escaped, the punishment would be doubled.
How much punishment should be given to these five people? You escorts have worked very hard to escort us all the way to the northwest. If you are beaten because of us exiles, then we are truly guilty of a grave sin."
Feng Chatou was just a rough man who liked to speak directly. He looked at the jade pendant on Chen Siting's waist. The Chen family was indeed very resourceful. They dared to reveal the jade pendant like this, just to tell others that the Chen family had climbed up to other royal backers.
"Miss Chen Er, earlier, this officer had already discussed with the other two officers and decided to wait a little longer. Of course, what you said is not unreasonable. It's just that everyone knew that the Jun family wanted to bury Jun Linfeng, and it was also agreed upon by several officers after discussion.
There's no other way now except to wait for them to catch up with the team and then teach them a lesson. Perhaps Miss Chen Er has any good suggestions."
When Chen Siting heard this, a hint of success flashed in her eyes.
"Captain Feng, Su Hanchu is the Su family's most beloved daughter, Su Lichuan is the head of the Su family, and Jun Moye is also the current head of the Jun family. If these people plan to escape, they will definitely leave a message for the Su family or the Jun family.
It would be better to torture the people from the Su and Jun families severely. This way, we can find out whether Su Hanchu and his companions really escaped. If so, the officers can come up with a corresponding plan as soon as possible, otherwise everyone's journey will be delayed."
Upon hearing this, Feng Chatou fell silent.
"Miss Chen Er, this isn't the first time I've helped the Chen family. For the sake of Prince Duan's concubine, I've spoken for the Chen family even when they weren't in my group.
Now it's my turn. If I can help your Chen family, I will. I'm just an escort of exiles, and I don't want to cause too much trouble."
Chen Siting smiled and spoke when she heard this.
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me that among the several messengers, he is most optimistic about Feng. Feng is a man of measure and knows what to do and what not to do. It is really a waste of his talent for him to be a mere messenger."
Upon hearing this, Feng Chatou looked at Chen Siting with a bit of inquiry.
"Miss Chen Er is better at speaking than your sister."
Chen Siting continued to speak with a smile after hearing this.
"Captain Feng, a good horse is common, but a good horse trainer is hard to find. A person's future sometimes requires more than just opportunities; one must strive for it. Captain Feng, do you want this to be the last time you escort the exile to the northwest? It depends on whether you know the current situation."
Upon hearing this, Feng Chatou suddenly smiled.
"Miss Chen Er is right. The Jun and Su families must know whether Su Hanchu and the others have escaped. Thank you for reminding me, Miss Chen Er."
Chen Siting spoke with satisfaction after hearing this.
"Then Si Ting will go back first. When she meets the Crown Prince one day, Si Ting will definitely tell His Royal Highness about Feng Chatou's diligent and good deeds."
Feng Chatou looked at Chen Siting's back as she left and fell into deep thought. This was not the first time he had escorted exiled prisoners to the northwest. Due to environmental reasons, he would even get frostbite on his hands and feet every time he escorted them in winter.
Moreover, no matter how hard or tiring this job is, there is no future in it. It is better to take this opportunity to take a chance, and maybe you can change the fate of yourself or even your family.
At the Su family's side, Wei Furong was leading the Su family's people to burn the firewood they had picked up. However, the firewood was not easy to light because it was soaked by the snow or frozen.
Su Yang looked unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, big brother wouldn't really abandon us and run away with the Jun family, right? Everyone has been talking about it today. If big brother really ran away, it would bring trouble to our family."
Wei Furong glanced at Su Yang coldly, put the hay on fire in her hand, walked to her side, and looked at her fiercely.
"Yang Rufang, I've been putting up with you for a long time. Listen carefully, you'd better stop talking nonsense and don't do anything unpleasant for me, otherwise, get out of the Su family."
Yang Rufang was dissatisfied when she heard this.
"Wei Furong, why are you so fierce? Don't be so arrogant just because you're the eldest sister-in-law. You know how much time has been wasted just by looking at the sky! Now there's no sign of eldest brother, so can't I ask a question?"
Wei Furong just felt so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
"Yang Rufang, over the years, when has your eldest brother not been thinking about the Su family? Is it necessary for you to be suspicious of him here? You should hurry up and collect some more firewood or find a way to start a fire. I think you are too idle."
Upon hearing this, Yang Rufang walked to Old Madam Su in dissatisfaction.
"Mother, look at my sister-in-law. My daughter-in-law is just worried about the Su family, so she asked one more question."
Old Madam Su straightened her cloak.
"Boss's wife, did the boss leave you any words last night? It's really late now."
Wei Furong restrained her expression after hearing this.
"Don't worry, mother. Lichuan won't abandon us. Besides, Lichuan has always been very filial to father and mother. How could he ignore them? We just need to wait patiently. Who knows, they might catch up with us soon."
Then he turned his eyes to Su Lishan.
"Second brother, I hope you can take good care of your own wife. Our Su family is no longer what it used to be. Saying the wrong thing could worsen the Su family's predicament or even cost you your life."
Upon hearing this, Su Lishan stepped forward and pulled Su Yang over.
"You're the only one who talks too much every day. Don't say such things in the future. I believe in you, brother. If you're free, why don't we go out and collect some more firewood?"
Su Yang followed him out reluctantly.
Suddenly the door of Su's room was opened.
Several escorts held swords and whips and shouted harshly.
"Everyone from the Su family, come out to the yard."
