Chapter 63 If you feel bad and want to cry, just cry
Liu Neng had experienced this situation countless times and had escorted many batches of such prisoners.
In fact, this kind of situation is easy to deal with. Just give them a beating. He doesn't even need to do anything because the other officers have already done it for him. Each of them holds a whip and whips the ones who are shouting the loudest.
Among them, Jiang Xiuxiu was beaten the worst. She was hit three or four times and screamed in pain.
"You also want to remove the shackles, no problem. It's one hundred taels for each of you. Give me the silver and I'll remove you immediately."
When she heard that it would cost one hundred taels, the old lady immediately exclaimed, "It's so expensive, why don't you just rob it!" As soon as she said this, the officer who had just beaten Jiang Xiuxiu cast a cold gaze at her.
Old Mrs. Zhao saw his gaze and looked at her. She trembled unconsciously. Thinking of Jiang Xiuxiu being beaten just now, she didn't want to be beaten, so she immediately shut her mouth and dared not say anything more.
"Think it over. If you want to open the shackles, spend a hundred taels. If not, just leave."
This journey will take a long time, at least a few months and at most a year.
Anyway, there is no rush for them. Sooner or later, they will be freed from their shackles.
During this period, several officials paid silver bills and removed the shackles on their bodies.
Except for Jiang Nanfeng and the Ninth Prince Xiao Yuchen, the other officials implicated hardly held high positions.
Some people were inexplicably involved in this. When they thought that it was because of Xiao Yuchen and others that they ended up like this, they were angry but dared not say anything.
So now Xiao Yuchen has become a prisoner like them, but his reputation in the capital was too terrifying before.
They only dare to suppress their anger in their hearts and dare not vent it out.
Xiao Yujing gave Jiang Nanfeng five hundred taels of silver, which he took out from his private treasury. After all, he didn't have much silver left.
Originally, Xiao Yujing had the Treasure Pavilion as his backing, but the Treasure Pavilion was also robbed last time, and they suffered heavy losses. There was not much silver left in the mansion.
Being able to give Jiang Nanfeng five hundred taels of silver is already a lot.
Jiang Nanfeng also spent one hundred taels of silver to have them remove the shackles from his body.
He felt very painful about spending so much money at once, but there was nothing he could do. After all, they were prisoners now and others had the final say.
When he thought of this, his teeth chattered with anger. He didn't know which bastard had written a secret letter to the emperor, not only discovering their private soldiers, but also causing them to end up like this.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't know that Jiang Nanfeng was cursing her in his heart. She and Jiang Wenjin walked side by side. He kept his head down and walked silently.
I'm afraid he was hurt by what Jiang Nanfeng said just now.
"Jiang Wenjin, if you feel bad and want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in your heart."
Jiang Wenjin heard Jiang Nanyuan comforting him, he raised his head with red eyes, and tried to force a smile, "Big sister, I won't cry, why should I cry?
Now I have a mother who loves me, such a good elder sister, three uncles and grandparents.
I'm so happy, how could I cry?"
To be honest, Jiang Nanfeng and Zhao had been quite nice to him in the Marquis' Mansion before. At least they would visit him in his yard from time to time.
But as time went by, I learned that his health was getting worse, so I went there less often.
But for him, Jiang Nanfeng and Zhao had cared for him in the past, so it was not surprising that he felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable later, tell me. We still have a long way to go. If you are thirsty, drink some water from the water bag."
Jiang Nanyuan filled all of their water bags with the spiritual spring water from the space.
In fact, everyone in the Duke's Mansion is not in good health. They drink more of this spiritual spring water, although it cannot cure their diseases.
But at least it can help them relieve their fatigue and not be so tired on the journey.
Jiang Wenjin nodded and stopped talking to Jiang Nanyuan.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't care about him. She would glance in Xiao Yuchen's direction from time to time.
She felt very strange. Although he had a cold poison in his body when she saw him last time, he was not as weak as he is now.
Seeing him lying on the cart, dying, she would have thought he was dead if she hadn't accidentally seen his chest rising and falling just now.
I didn't expect that the antidote I found at random was actually the Ninth Prince Xiao Yuchen.
Now, by chance, I am on the road of exile with her.
No, I absolutely cannot let him know that it was me who killed him that day.
It’s better to stay away from him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyuan subconsciously took a step towards Lin Zhixue.
Lin Zhixue has been worried about Jiang Wenjin's condition. After all, she knew that he was not in good health, and she probably couldn't stop to let him rest along the way.
I should have bought a cart like the Ninth Prince. If Jiang Wenjin couldn't stand it, he could sit on the cart and push him.
Today was their first day on the road. These people were usually spoiled, but they had only walked less than five miles and they were already feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Liu, we really can't walk anymore. Can we take a break for a while?"
The speaker was Jiang Shan, the daughter of Jiang Nanfeng's younger brother Jiang Nanzhou.
Jiang Nanfeng is just too powerful, even implicating their second and third rooms.
As Jiang Nanfeng's official position became higher and higher, they also followed suit and came to the capital, but they bought houses outside and did not live in the marquis' mansion.
But because of Jiang Nanfeng's incident, the two of them had some resentment towards Jiang Nanfeng.
They haven't said a word since they met.
He felt very proud to hear these young ladies from official families calling him "Big Brother".
Liu Neng was very happy. It was almost morning, so he could eat before leaving. It was another good opportunity to make money.
He raised his hand high, signaling the team to stop and everyone to rest in place.
Those gentlemen and ladies were already extremely tired. When they heard that they could rest, they didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not and sat down on it without any image at all.
Some people's skin is so delicate that their feet may get blisters after just walking this short distance.
Seeing that everyone sat down to rest, Liu Neng asked the other officers to give everyone a black steamed bun.
This steamed bun is cold and hard, and it will probably hurt your teeth when you bite it. Jiang Nanyuan can't eat it.
Seeing that Liu Neng had white flour buns in his hand, she knew that he must be exchanging them for silver again, so she walked up to him and exchanged them for a few white flour buns.
Jiang Nanyuan just chewed the steamed bun dryly, feeling bored. She didn't know why, but she wanted to eat meat, and more importantly, roast chicken.
There was a roast chicken in the space, but she couldn't just take it out like that. After thinking about it, she came to Liu Neng again and took out a silver ingot for him.
"Brother officer, can I go to the nearby woods and hunt some rabbits or pheasants?
I promise to be back in a quarter of an hour. If I catch one, I'll give you one, okay?"
When Liu Neng heard about hare or pheasant, he licked his lips. He was also greedy, so he asked her to try it.
He was not afraid that Jiang Nanyuan would run away. After all, she was a weak woman, where could she run to? Besides, Lord Li was there, and he would not watch the prisoner run away.
"Okay, go ahead. You must come back in a quarter of an hour."
