Before daybreak, the police shouted to the prisoners in the courtyard to get up.

"We will be on the road in half an hour. If anyone wants to buy water bags and steamed buns, please send someone to buy them. We also have carts, one costs fifty taels of silver."

"It's only been one night, why is the price going up again?"

The prisoners murmured.

What are you looking at? Haven't you heard? There is plague in the east, fire in the south, and drought in the northwest. The price of white flour is rising every day. Don't blame me for not reminding you. This is the post station under the feet of the emperor. You can still see white flour. When you go further north, you may not even be able to eat black flour, let alone white flour. "

The official Liu Laoer cursed and said, "It was supposed to be a lucrative job. Damn it, these nearly 400 prisoners are either officials in Beijing or wealthy businessmen, but I didn't expect that each one is poorer than the other. Last night, the people who bought white steamed buns had not come up yet. The 200 exiles they escorted made more money."

Moreover, they were followed by the Zhaowei and the Imperial Guards. How could they have a good life on the road in the future? If they were angry, they would naturally vent their anger on the exiled prisoners.

Liu Laoer's eyes were fiercely fixed on the families of the exiled criminals. These people didn't have much money on them. If they wanted to make some money on this trip, they could only attack them.

Anyway, they were escorting exiles north, and there were two main ways to make money.

One is the open way, which is to extract money from these exiled prisoners. When they arrive at the exile place, the exiled prisoners are only half alive, and they are almost left with nothing but a piece of cloth.

The second way was to sell the women and children of the exiled prisoners as they went. They would all be reported dead on the way anyway. It was enough to save a certain number of them. The worst case was that they only had one-third left.

This time there were the remnants of the Eastern Palace, as well as the families of high-ranking officials and concubines of wealthy merchants. All of them were of top beauty. If we picked out the prettiest ones and sold them to brothels, we might be able to make a lot of money this time.

"Brother Liu, stop looking. Be careful of Captain Zhou."

The officer next to him was called Wang Laoba, and he pulled Liu Laoer's sleeve.

"Brother Liu, Brother B and I are selling steamed buns. Go and look at the cart."

Zhao Xiaoqi, who was holding a basket of steamed buns, winked at Liu Laoer.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The three of them were in the same group, and they had been escorting prisoners along this route for years. Because they were familiar with the route, they would lead the team every time there was an escort mission.

This was also their first time following Zhou Fuan's team. Of course, before following the team, the three had already inquired about the style of the team leader Zhou Fuan and Chu Mingyang.

Liu Laoer is the leader of this three-person team and also the deputy captain of the exiled officials.

A cart costs fifty taels of silver, so asking for a few more taels is no big deal. Naturally, Liu Laoer will get the profit.

"Mom, let's get the black steamed buns and vegetable soup first."

The Su family had packed up everything in the house when the officials started to move, and everyone had prepared things for the journey. Steward Su had harnessed the donkey cart and packed up the cart as well.

Su Mibao also put the shackles back on Su Chengyi and Su San before leaving the house.

"Let's buy two white steamed buns. Mother and the kids are here. When my eldest brother was delivering the things, those people were watching."

Song Jinhe looked at Gu Yueyan,

"Yan'er, what do you think?"

As usual, everyone listened to Song Jinhe about the Su family's affairs. Song Jinhe would also ask her mother-in-law for permission first. For some reason, she always looked at Gu Yueyan before doing anything.

As a mother-in-law, and the head lady of the Zhenguo Mansion for many years, she couldn't help but want her daughter-in-law to make decisions. It was really good to have someone to rely on.

Gu Yueyan's eyes swept over Su Mibao in her grandmother's arms.

Song Jinhe nodded, knowing what her daughter-in-law meant. Besides, they also had Mi Baobao, the lucky little star. With so many good things to guard, it didn't make sense to let the whole family starve. But since they were just starting their exile, they couldn't go too far.

"Mom, go buy some steamed buns. I'll get some soup."

Gu Yueyan and Song Jinhe exchanged glances. They wanted to take the opportunity to find out about the situation of the official.

"Madam, Young Madam, you guys take a rest, we'll go."

Huashan and Nanny Song are going.

"You wait."

Song Jinhe shook her head, and they stopped talking. No wonder the master didn't send them to buy it, it seemed that the master must have other plans.

"Go and hold baby Mi."

Old Madam Su handed Su Mibao to Song Jinhe's arms.

"Sir, we have many children and elderly people in our family. We want two white flour buns."

Song Jinhe carried Su Mibao to the place where steamed buns were sold and saw two officials, one tall and one short, selling steamed buns. It was just the beginning and not many people came to buy steamed buns.

Firstly, because I had just seen my relatives at Shili Pavilion yesterday, many relatives would include clothes and dry food in the packages they sent when they saw me off.

Secondly, it was too expensive. After only one night, the prisoners were not hungry enough to have to buy something.

Of course, more often than not, the prisoner’s family is discussing it or waiting to see if anyone will buy it.

Some prisoners even wondered if the officials would sell them at a lower price if not many buyers came.

After all, the steamed buns are ready.

"You want to buy steamed buns? Just two?"

Wang Lao Ba raised his green eyes and was about to ask why he only bought two, what a deduction. When he looked up, he saw the beautiful face of a woman.

[Oh, this woman is really pretty. Even though she is a little old, she is good-looking, with a thin waist and a big butt. You can tell she is fertile. If she is sold to a northerner as a wife, she will definitely be sold for a good price.]

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the tall and thin official with green eyes on the opposite side.

Su Mibao glared at the dog official, "Mother, this dog official wants to sell you on the road and give you to someone else as a wife and give birth to babies."

Su Mibao thought, if she walked fifty miles a day, and walked for another two days, she would be two hundred miles away from the capital. By then, she would not have to worry about so many things. Should she just kill this official?

[Oh, how come the little girl in this woman's arms is so pretty. I, Wang Lao Ba, deserve to get rich on this trip. Hehe, when I went to Mujiabao last time, the owner of Mujiabao asked me to find him a baby to make medicine. Tsk, this baby is so pretty, with this fat body and white skin, it will definitely catch the eye of the owner of Mujiabao. I have to discuss it with Brother Liu quickly, and the starting price is one thousand taels. We are going to get rich on this trip.]

Turtle?

Su Mibao Hehe, this dog official is actually called Wangba, no wonder he doesn’t behave like a human being?

Sold her to make medicine? Mujiabao? Why does it sound familiar?
