It can be seen that there are quite a few people in this team who have been punished. They are basically supporting each other. Even after leaving the capital for such a long time, they still haven't had the money to buy a horse-drawn carriage or donkey-drawn cart, and they don't even have a cart. This shows that the people in this team are definitely not welcome.
Looking at the officers escorting the prisoners, they were not easy to deal with. Each of them had a ferocious look. This team showed that they would not be able to reach the end, which was also the meaning of the above.
The family was waiting for these people to pass by, and someone nearby was gossiping.
[Oh my god, what a sin! This is the Zhenbei King's family, right? Not only have they not been on the battlefield in all these years, but they've also been withholding military supplies and not releasing them to the battlefield. I heard quite a few soldiers have starved to death.]
[Alas, they even dared to participate in a rebellion with the Third Prince, born to that maidservant. When His Majesty discovered this, he immediately stripped them of their titles and exiled them to Qiong Island. These people are truly useless. The Prince of Zhenbei was once a great general with illustrious military achievements, yet he was investigated and punished in just a few years.]
[Who told them to join the rebellion when they couldn't enjoy their good life? It's all their own fault. Looking at their current state, I guess they don't have any money at all. There's no telling where they can go.]
After hearing this, the old man's pupils shrank violently. He looked at the ragged man in front of him, rubbing his fingers non-stop, with no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
The old lady looked at the old man's expression, and silently stood up to block his view so that others could not see the old man's expression. The old lady knew something about her husband's life experience, and was worried that he would be seen, so she stood up to block him.
Watching the line of prisoners slowly move past and stop in front, the old man winked at his wife, then quietly walked around to the front with his granddaughter.
Wang Shiyu was not stupid. She could sense her grandfather's extreme excitement. She glanced at the line of prisoners in front of her, closed her eyes, and sorted out a bundle of dry cakes from the oven, as well as a lot of wound medicine her grandfather had gotten, five silver notes of one hundred taels each, and some silver coins to give to the officials.
Just as she was ready, her grandfather came to pull her and started to take a detour. The direction she was taking seemed to be the place where a prisoner had just gone to the toilet. Because the other party was a man, Wang Shiyu stepped back.
She walked behind her grandfather to avoid seeing things she shouldn't see. She was already a grown-up girl and had to avoid some things.
The bag that was smuggled out was a bit heavy, so I pulled my grandfather's hand and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
The old man looked down at the bundle in his hand, smiled, touched Wang Shiyu's greasy head, continued walking forward, and saw two old men beside the tree.
Looking at that familiar face, the old man's tears suddenly flowed down. He had not been in contact with people in the capital for so many years, but he did not become a stranger with the passage of time.
"Uncle, aunt."
The old man who had just finished relieving himself and was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed heard these words and looked towards the source of the voice.
Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar face.
"Did you mistake me for someone else? I don't seem to be your uncle."
The old man didn't remember whether he knew this person or not, but in order not to implicate him, he refused to say that he knew him. When their whole family left the capital, not only did no one come to see them off, even the families of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law sent documents to sever ties.
Who would dare to approach them now? In order not to implicate others, he refused all the gifts given to them by the common people along the way, for fear that the man above would harm them.
The old lady over there also quietly accompanied her husband. When she was young, she accompanied her husband to the battlefield. When she was old and was suspected by her superiors, she accompanied her husband to Qiong Island to start a new life without any regrets.
It's really hard for my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. They were the legitimate daughters of a wealthy family and should have been able to call the shots in the backyard of the mansion, but now they have to suffer with them.
