Chapter 59 Their cells are not chained and they can come and go freely
The group continued to move forward slowly, walking at least twenty kilometers a day. The next city was just ten kilometers away, which was also their destination.
Of course, the place where the exiled prisoners were held was the dungeon of the local county government office. They were all locked up there and taken out early the next morning. During this time, the jailers would provide them with breakfast, but as for dinner, sorry, there was none.
If you eat too much, you might get the prisoners to cause trouble!
After handing over to the jailer in the dungeon, the officers can move freely. The journey of exile is long and lonely, and the brothel is their most common resting place.
In late autumn and early winter, the dungeons of various county governments are often full. If exiles are caught at this time, dozens of them will be crowded in one cell. Not to mention being able to lie down and rest, sometimes it is even difficult to find an open space to sit.
When the Liu and Shen families were imprisoned in two dungeons respectively, they received such good treatment.
On the other hand, the Xiao Wang family was imprisoned alone in the largest cell. Because of their special status and the fact that there were only about thirty people including the master and servants, although not everyone could lie down, the space was definitely large enough.
After being beaten and scolded several times by the officers on the road, and seeing the good treatment in Prince Xiao's Mansion, they dared not make trouble again. Besides, the jailers here would not care about your life or death, they would just lock you up and wait to hand you over tomorrow.
"Your Highness, you must be exhausted after sitting in the carriage for a whole day. Xiaowu will massage your shoulders and legs." Because they were exiles, Rong Mama and Shaoyao who were by Su Wanyan's side could not come in with them. There was still only Xiaowu serving Su Wanyan.
When Xiaowu saw Su Wanyan entering the dungeon and unwilling to sit down, he knew that she must be tired from riding in the carriage all day, so he walked over and helped her massage her shoulders and legs.
Su Wanyan was indeed tired of sitting, and did not refuse Xiaowu's kindness.
A carriage is not like their modern vehicles. No matter how comfortable the interior is, their bodies would not be able to bear staying in it all day long.
What's more, the original owner's body is not as good as his modern self. Even though he was not favored in the Su Mansion, he had never done any rough work. He did not get enough exercise and was still a little delicate.
He Bo finished making Ji Xiaohan's bed and came over, bowing to Su Wanyan, "Princess, I'm going to ask the jailer to buy some dinner. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Su Wanyan was tired after a long day of traveling. The others had walked all day. She thought for a moment, pulled out a silver note worth 100 taels from her sleeve, handed it to He Bo, and instructed, "Everyone has had a hard time walking all the way today. Have someone buy some meat so that they can eat their fill tonight and have the strength to continue their journey tomorrow."
The corners of He Bo's mouth twitched, and he took the banknote with both hands, "Yes. I will arrange it right away."
Your Highness, although the master has made all the arrangements along the way in advance, aren't you being too high-profile?
High profile?
Su Wanyan said she wasn't being high-profile at all. Don't think she didn't see the fawning and respectful manner in which the jailers treated them. Perhaps the secret guards had already taken care of that beforehand? Didn't they see that their cells were even unlocked, allowing them to come and go freely?
She took out the silver just to help He Bo shut others up, so that others would not see that their dinner was too sumptuous and arouse envy and jealousy.
