Chapter 104 The Beginning of a Beautiful Life
Xu Tian had been lying in the county government office for a few days and his body had almost recovered. But when he came out, he found that he had become the captain of the yamen runners.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been lying there for not just a few days, but perhaps for decades!
Fortunately, he confirmed it again and again and found that he was not dreaming.
However, he also learned about what happened later from other people. In fact, Lord Chen had sent Eagle to convey the news about General Pingwei long ago. He also knew that it was Lord Chen and his men who held back the bandits and waited until General Pingwei arrived.
Therefore, after hearing these things, Xu Tian suddenly felt his blood boiling, and immediately felt that he was worthy of being Lord Chen.
And when he heard Chen Xue took out precious medicine to save him, he was immediately moved.
As for him becoming the captain of the yamen runners, he didn't feel anything.
However, when Xu Tian heard that Lord Chen had made great contributions but did not receive any reward, he felt it was unfair. Why?
Lord Chen was wronged to begin with, and now he's been rewarded for his contributions. This court...
He quickly found Mr. Chen, expressed his gratitude to them, and stood up for them.
Lord Chen didn't care. Seeing that Xu Tian was still brooding over it, he said that he would take care of their family on the rest of the journey.
Xu Tian immediately patted his chest and said that he would definitely make sure they had good food and drink before they set off.
Lord Chen: “…………”
How weird it sounds!
…………
Because the imperial court stated that it was up to Xie Yunshang to decide how to arrange the exile team, Xie Yunshang naturally would not be polite.
He selected a group of yamen runners from the county government office. Before letting them join the team, he first brought them to Lord Chen and told them that they must protect Lord Chen and his family when they encounter danger.
Even when you encounter something you don’t know how to deal with, you can ask Mr. Chen for his advice.
Of course, Xie Yunshang did not tell them that they just had to follow Xu Tian’s arrangements, and when encountering special circumstances they could follow Lord Chen’s arrangements.
Because he was worried about encountering bandits again, and although Xu Tian was upright, he didn't know how to deal with this situation, so he gave these yamen runners such orders.
But these yamen runners would not think about these things. They only knew that in the future team, they had to obey the arrangements of Lord Chen.
As for Xu Tian, the captain of the yamen runners...
What a joke.
Didn’t you see that he follows Lord Chen like a lackey every day, always praising Lord Chen and saying, “Lord Chen is great!” It is obvious that he obeys Lord Chen’s orders without hesitation.
Even the captain of the yamen runners is like this, so why should they go through so much trouble? They can just follow Lord Chen's orders.
Xie Yunshang didn't know what these yamen runners were thinking. Since the court asked him to make the arrangements, he didn't hesitate.
So he selected another group of men, asked them to change into the uniforms of yamen runners, and become yamen runners to protect Mr. Chen.
There are not many of these people, only four or five, but they are all masters, and each of them can fight against three at the same time and not be at a disadvantage.
With these people, even if we encounter bandits next time, even if we cannot eliminate them, we can still protect Lord Chen and the others.
When County Magistrate Xu saw Xie Yunshang's upright behavior, he immediately pretended that he saw nothing and even ordered his men to shut up. If they were found out, they would bear the consequences.
Xu Tian naturally had no dissatisfaction with General Pingwei's arrangement. On the contrary, he fully supported it.
After all, he knew that although he was appointed as the captain of the yamen runners by the court, he might not be able to control all the yamen runners under him.
And if they encounter bandits again, he doesn't want anything to happen to Lord Chen.
Because it had been delayed for several days, after Xie Yunshang made all the arrangements, the exile team was about to set off.
Before leaving, Xie Yunshang bought a batch of supplies for Master Chen, so that they could eat and drink well during their journey...
At this time, County Magistrate Xu also came out and showed his face, and sent a cart of supplies to Lord Chen.
He also said that if Mr. Chen needed anything, he could tell him and he would arrange it immediately...
“Enough is enough!”
Lord Chen quickly stopped them and said, if they continued like this, it would not be exile, it would be tourism.
With so many supplies, who could tell they were exiles?
Besides, if other people saw this, wouldn’t they be even more envious and jealous?
In fact, others are already jealous.
Especially Zhang Yiquan, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, his nails were deeply inserted into the flesh, and blood was dripping from his palms to the ground, but he ignored it.
“Why?”
He gritted his teeth and asked why his wife and son almost died, while the Chen family did not receive any punishment, but were treated with such courtesy and given so many supplies.
Jealousy, anger, hatred, all kinds of emotions overwhelmed Zhang Yiquan, making his hatred for the Chen family grow deeper and deeper.
…………
Chen Xue found an opportunity to take away the supplies in the carriages, and then only left three carriages. The original carriages were naturally retired, and they were too small. The new carriages now were new and spacious.
The poor pony was finally free.
No more having to do the work of three horses with one.
Soon, the exile team continued on their journey, because if they didn't continue, they would miss the time, and winter was coming, so they had to get to the south as soon as possible, otherwise these exiled prisoners would not be able to survive the winter and would be frozen to death.
The team quickly reunited, and Xu Tian still came to Lord Chen first, and the yamen runners also ran over. After all, didn’t General Pingwei say to listen to Lord Chen?
When Lord Chen saw the yamen runners running over, he was a little confused, especially when they asked when they would set off.
Why are you asking me when we're leaving?
Lord Chen was completely confused. Who was the yamen runner?
"Then let's go!"
Following Lord Chen's order, the bailiffs took their positions and urged the prisoners to continue.
Fortunately, the yamen runners selected by General Pingwei this time were not those with arrogant attitudes and domineering behavior. Although they were not like Xu Tian, they were not bad people either.
Therefore, they did not whip or scold the prisoners at will, but urged them loudly.
When a prisoner fell, the yamen runners did not whip or scold him, but waited for him to get up before letting him go quickly.
Lord Chen and his entourage followed at the back of the carriage. After all, there were convoys behind them, carrying food for the exile team.
Next to the carriage, in addition to the servants of the Chen family, there were also several yamen runners protecting it. These were the personal soldiers left behind by General Pingwei.
Although Lord Chen refused, after all, it was too high-profile. They were exiled and had bodyguards with them, which was a bit exaggerated. However, General Pingwei strongly requested, saying that if they encountered bandits again, what would happen to his aunt and Xiaoxue?
Lord Chen agreed.
These personal guards are very disciplined and now only obey the orders of Lord Chen. Without his order, no one can approach the carriage, not even the servants of the Chen family, as they will be stopped by these personal guards.
Therefore, Lord Chen could return to the carriage with peace of mind... and return to the space to continue farming.
