As a civil official, Wang Changling valued his reputation the most. He was suddenly confiscated and exiled, and was labeled a traitor. The pain he felt physically was far less than the pain he felt inside.

But at this time, his old father, Wang Taifu, was injured and unconscious, and the whole family depended on him for survival. And with his elderly grandmother, he could only force himself to hold on.

After hearing what his elder brother said, Wang Changlin's face darkened.

Alas, isn’t it?

When the Wang family was prosperous, their relatives filled the capital, and their father's students were all over the world. But once they were convicted and imprisoned, even dogs avoided their Wang family.

At the Ten-Li Pavilion, the Wang family did not have any relatives or friends to see them off.

In addition, their house was suddenly surrounded and ransacked in the middle of the night, and they had no preparation at all. It can be said that except for the clothes their family members were wearing, the whole family did not have a single copper coin.

Wang Changlin couldn't help but turn his head to look at the carriage behind him. Fortunately, the emperor gave his younger sister a carriage, and there were some things in the carriage given by the empress dowager. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine how they would take their seriously injured and unconscious father and their elderly grandfather on the road.

But he couldn't say these words of relief.

It was the emperor who raided their house.

Not only did the emperor raid their home, he also forced my father to walk barefoot in the streets with a shackle on, shouting "I am guilty," trampling his dignity into the dust.

The most abominable thing was that the emperor even favored their little sister, a teenager. After favoring her and making her a beauty, he actually deposed her again and sent her out of the palace to be exiled with their royal family.

Everything the emperor did was a slap in the face of their Wang family, and each slap was harder than the last.

At this time, Wang Changlin could not tell his elder brother that it was a good thing that the emperor had given them a carriage.

"Everything in the past is just a dream. Changlin, our whole family is together, which is better than anything else."

Wang Changling sighed. He had been heartbroken these past two days, and had been thinking about his first half of life and the second half of his family's life.

He also figured it out.

The emperor is the ruler, and the Wang family is the subjects. If the ruler wants the subjects to die, the subjects have to die.

Think about the more than 100 members of Lu Taiyi's family being hacked to death on the vegetable market street. Think about that too many princes' and princesses' mansions, from centenarians to unborn babies, thousands of lives. All died with one imperial decree from the emperor.

Let's look at the Zhenguo Mansion. There were nine generals in the family, and each one died more miserably than the other. Only one male, Su Zhenbei, was left, and six soul-suppressing nails were inserted into his body. There were a group of women and children, but they were still so strong and alive.

The Wang family had dozens of people, and except for their brothers and father, everyone else was fine. The whole family was together, not one was missing.

So what if they were exiled? So what if they were registered as refugees? A new emperor appoints new ministers. As long as their Wang family survives and their descendants study hard, their Wang family still has hope.

Thinking of this, the decadent look on Wang Changling's face disappeared.

"Yes, brother, I will listen to you."

Although Wang Changlin didn't understand why his elder brother had suddenly gotten rid of the decadence he had experienced since the house was ransacked, when he saw the way his elder brother looked at the Su family, he knew in his heart that his elder brother must have been moved by the spirit of the women and children in the Su family, just like him.

Look at them, a group of women and children, with a seriously injured Su Zhenbei, they can deal with everything so positively. Their Wang family, with two grown men, him and his eldest brother, how could they be worse than the Su family's group of women and children.

(Haha, the Wang brothers, like everyone else in the capital, automatically ignored Su Chengyi. Su Chengyi: Am I not a man of the Su family?) The two brothers hurried to the carriage to see if there was anything they could use to protect their family from the rain.

The Wang family has always been headed by Wang Taifu. The brothers lived with their father and were used to their father arranging everything in the family. Now that they were in a disaster and their father was in a coma, the two brothers naturally turned their attention to the Su family. You know, the Su family has a talented young general named Su Zhenbei? The brothers had just asked Gu Yueyan about Su Zhenbei's injury.

They knew that Su Zhenbei was also seriously injured and was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. But in this way, the two brothers felt that they had regained their backbone. As long as Su Zhenbei could wake up for a while, they would arrange the affairs of the Su family properly.

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

Everyone was startled by the officer's shout.

It was noon and the sky suddenly turned dark. Although the exiles were sitting down to rest, they were still nervous. When the officer shouted, everyone stood up like frightened birds and quickly gathered to set off.

"Hurry up, you lazy bones, hurry up. If you can't find a place to stay at night, you will have to sleep in the open air."

Zhou Fuan felt a little uneasy. Looking at the sky, which had suddenly turned dark, he quickly called Liu Laoer and three others to come over to discuss the matter.

Liu Laoer was bitten by a poisonous snake, and Bai Suzi applied medicine on him. He was cured, but now his whole body is numb. He lies on the official's grain transport cart, unable to move.

Only Wang Laoba and Zhao Xiaoqi came to Zhou Fuan.

Zhou Fuan asked the two about the road conditions ahead and learned that the next six or seven miles were all uphill, and there was a section of the road that was particularly narrow with deep ditches on both sides. He immediately became irritated.

Most of the more than 300 exiles were women and children, and there were also several donkey and horse carts. Wang Laoba said that the narrowest section of the road could only accommodate one horse cart. Think about it, their officials had ten mule carts carrying food and bedding, four of which were filled with Chu Siwu's valuables. In addition to Chu Siwu's extra-wide horse cart. Their 40 escorting officials had to guard 11 carts and more than 300 exiles. And behind them were 40 Zhaowei and Jinwei, and 200 prisoners.

Zhou Fuan felt overwhelmed when he thought about all this.

In particular, he repeatedly asked Wang Laoba and Zhao Xiaoqi how far the nearest post station was. The two replied that the nearest post station was the post station in Yueyang Town, 150 miles away. Don't ask about the nearest town, it is Yueyang Town. What bothered Zhou Fuan the most was that there were only three villages in the 150 miles ahead. The village that was closer to the official road was called Da Liuzhuang, which was 60 miles away.

After repeated consideration, Zhou Fuan ordered the officers to order the exiles to set off immediately without any rest.

Zhou Fuan ran to Chu Mingyang's carriage. When Chu Mingyang was resting, he had someone set up a tent in front of the carriage. He was lying in it comfortably, and Zhou Fuan came in and asked him to pack up and leave. He looked unhappy.

"Why are you rushing us? It's not time to set off yet. Are you rushing us?"

"Secretary Chu, we have to leave..."
