106. Chapter 106 I need a single room



Ji was so happy that he put the big knife on the table. "I'll give you the new house, but you don't even have a wife. Can you sleep in such a big bed by yourself? Do you want me to find you a mother to hug you when you sleep?"

Ji Tai was straightforward and had been catching thieves and maintaining public order in the imperial city for many years. Chu Mingyang, a third-generation ancestor, often jumped in front of him, and the two of them had been playing a cat and mouse game. It was always that Ji Tai arrested him, and the right prime minister would bail him out the next moment.

"Jita, I gave you face. Didn't I?"

Chu Mingyang has a bad temper. When he is in a good mood, he can tolerate you spitting shit on his face. But when he is in a bad mood, even the king of heaven can't control him.

Ji Tai was used to quarreling with him, and she would start a quarrel whenever she opened her mouth. She didn't expect that she would offend Chu Mingyang this time. He was most afraid of people mentioning his dead mother.

The fan in his hand flew towards Ji Tai's face. Ji Tai was caught off guard and was hit directly. His nose started bleeding immediately and he wiped his face with it, making his face look even bigger.

The fist as big as a bowl smashed towards Chu Mingyang's fair face...

There was a loud commotion in the hall.

【Brother, the fight has started.】

Those who like to watch the fun don't want to make a big deal out of it. If Su Mibao wasn't a little baby, she would have wanted to run into the living room to watch the fun right away.

After a while, Ji Tai covered his scratched face, gasped, and strode out, followed by the group of people.

Chu Mingyang was lying on the floor of the hall, his nose and face were all bruised, and he was cursing in a shrill voice.

"If you have the guts, beat me to death. If you can't kill me, just wait and see. I will dig eight hundred holes in your ancestral grave. I am not even surnamed Chu."

At the entrance of the post station, Lu Zan and more than 20 Zhaowei looked at Ji Tai with a look of sadness, "Let's go, hurry up and go to Tianlong Post Station overnight."

Tianlong Station?

Lu Zan's expression didn't change, but he was cursing in his heart.

Two hundred prisoners have been running around for a whole day since this morning, and have not eaten anything. Many of them have injuries that have not been treated. They were also fed a poison pill.

It takes another thirty miles to reach Tianlong Post Station. Ji Taizhen is a reckless man who doesn't treat prisoners as human beings at all.

Lu Zan was unhappy, but he didn't say much.

Although Ji Tai and he were both deputy commanders, Ji Tai was the emperor's man.

[Have Zhaowei and the Imperial Guards left? 】

Su Mibao looked at the backs of the group leaving. Tsk tsk, Chu Mingyang solved her big trouble with a fight. This guy is also a lucky treasure.

【Now that they are gone, we can spend money to get a single room. 】

Su Zhenbei finally felt relieved. There were no imperial guards or Zhaowei, only ordinary escorting officers. Not only would his younger sister be much safer when she went out, he could also find a chance to contact Su Liu and Su Jiu.

"Everyone be careful, carry Master Chu upstairs to the Tianzihao."

Zhou Fuan ordered the officers to quickly carry Chu Mingyang to the No. 1 room on the third floor.

"If you want to stay in a large dormitory room with 30 people, you have to pay 100 coins per person. If you want to stay in a single room, you have to pay 5 taels of silver per room. If you don't have money, you can find a place to stay overnight, such as in the front yard, in the back yard, in the stable, or under the eaves."

Finally, an official came out of the hall and stood by the door, shouting to the prisoners in the yard, "Tonight, each person will be provided with a black steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable soup for free. If you want to eat something better, a white steamed bun costs 20 wen. A mixed flour steamed bun costs 10 wen."

"Isn't this simply robbery? Outside, 100 coins can buy a piece of cloth, but a piece of cloth is gone after sleeping for one night?"

Su Ma muttered softly, a white steamed bun only costs one penny outside.

"The escorts rely on these to make money on the road. Otherwise, what's the point of traveling through mountains and rivers? It would be better to stay in the government office and have some free time."

Housekeeper Su looked at Old Madam Su, who also frowned. They couldn't stay in the yard with so many injured people in their family.

"We have all been searched by you, officers. We have no money."

"Sir, please be kind to me. We have a mother and children at home."

"Sir, please be kind enough to let us stay in the hall or the kitchen."

Wu Hai impatiently kicked the prisoner closest to him.

"Stop complaining, if you have money, pay it quickly, if you don't have money, get out of here."

"Mom, we have many wounded and children. Can we have a single room?"

Su Chengyi came over and stood in front of Old Madam Su and asked.

Madam Su glanced at Song Jinhe. Now, in the entire Su family, except for the clothes and jewelry she and Nanny Su wore when they left the palace, the only things that were not confiscated were the things sent by Song Jinhe's family.

"Mother, then listen to your husband. We have a large family, but I'm afraid it would be unsafe if we were separated."

Song Jinhe actually wanted to ask for another double room so that Zhenbei and Seventh Sister-in-law could both lie in bed. However, it was not convenient to let these two lie in one room alone.

If there was one room for boys and one for girls, she was worried that the men would not be able to take good care of the children.

"Just take one. It's safe for us to live together, and if we have something to discuss at night, we can discuss it together as a family."

Old Madam Su thought to herself that this was the first night of exile from the capital, and the whole family was in one room, away from the eyes and ears. She would sort out things later and let Zhenbei explain things to everyone.

"Then I'll pull the donkey cart and the cart to the backyard and I'll watch from there."

Steward Su was worried about the donkey cart, and was also concerned that the broken cart would be stolen by the prisoners.

"Grandpa Su and I will watch the cart together and keep watch at night separately. If anything happens, I can run fast and inform everyone in time. Besides, we two can sleep in the donkey cart, so we won't feel cold under the shed."

Su An had always been running errands for the Third Young Master, Su Si Nan. He was very active and strong, and he had practiced Kung Fu with Su San for several years. During this journey, despite his young age, he was in good spirits.

Old Madam Su was very satisfied with this arrangement.

After everyone discussed it, Song Jinhe gave the silver to Wu Hai.

"Sir, can we borrow a fire from the post station kitchen to boil some hot water for the wounded and sick, and cook some rice porridge for them to drink?"

Wu Hai took the silver handed over by Song Jinhe, looked at Song Jinhe's smiling face and thought to himself,

[Madam, your son is someone the Queen Mother asked me to take care of. I was just worrying about how to send him medicine to treat his injuries. It's great that you came to me now.]

"Pay one or two taels of silver and you can go to the kitchen to borrow a fire or a pot. By the way, if you don't have medicine, I have some here. I can give it to you for money."

[Oh no, did I say something wrong? What if this lady doesn't have much money, or she needs to spend money on many things on the road and is reluctant to spend too much money on medicine? Then I'm going too far. Should I lower the price myself? ]

Su Mibao was held by her grandmother, and she couldn't help but laugh when she heard Wu Hai's inner voice from the other side.

This guy looks ferocious, but I didn't expect he has a soft heart. I really didn't realize it.

"It would be better if the officer has medicine to sell us."

Song Jinhe thought to herself, the medicines my elder brother sent are all at Mi Baobao's place, they are all top-quality medicines for injuries, and there are also medicines sent by the King of Yan. Which one is not better than your official? However, the official came to her door, obviously wanting to make money, and she couldn't refuse the official's face.

"Take it."

Wu Hai pretended to be very casual and threw a bottle of medicine to Song Jinhe. "It's the leftovers, not much. Just give me one or two taels of silver."

[Oh, if I say too little, others will be suspicious. But if I say too much, it will be even worse. Oh, I am so worried. I have to find another person quickly so that I can discuss things with him.]

"Second Madam, can you book a room for us? We are women and we are both injured. It is not good for us to squeeze together with those men. Otherwise, it would be fine for us to squeeze in with you."

Suddenly, Lu Xianglian, with a dusty face, squeezed in.
