Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Outside Chang'an City, the Qin family and their party walked with difficulty.

One of the servants was driving a carriage and walked in the front. On the carriage were their bedding, food, pots and pans and other supplies.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhao was in shackles, his wife Nie Yunniang held his arm tightly with one hand, and her second daughter Qin Zhen with the other.

Qin Heng was also in shackles, and was carrying the luggage they had packed in the prison on his back. His son Qin Han and daughter Qin Jia were holding tightly to the hem of his clothes on both sides.

Qin Yu from the third family followed Qin Sheng.

Qin's mother (identity changed and renamed) was holding her newborn granddaughter, and Lu Songli supported Mrs. Qin, and occasionally took turns holding the baby with her.

They all walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Several guards scattered around them to monitor.

Lu Songli found that the road at this time was really difficult to walk, the road was uneven, and there was snow on the ground, it was very difficult for adults to walk, let alone children.

This is still the official road around Chang'an City. As they go further and further, the road will only become more difficult.

Moreover, they were walking in the wild, and the north wind was unbearable.Fortunately, they were all wearing thick windproof clothes, otherwise they would probably all be sick after half a day.

Thinking that they will have to travel like this for the next three or four months, Lu Songli's scalp tingles. Fortunately, he has made some preparations, otherwise this day would be really sad.

Another good thing is that the severe cold in the 24 solar terms has passed, and the next solar term is Lichun, and the weather will gradually warm up.

After leaving Chang'an City, after walking for about seven or eight miles, Xu Zheng saw that the women and children of the Qin family couldn't move anymore, so he found a leeward slope to rest for a while.

After stopping, Xu Zheng brought them some dry food.There is no water, they are preparing to boil some snow water to drink.

Lu Songli returned the baby in her arms to Nie Yunniang and asked her to take it aside to nurse. Qin's mother would naturally go to help.

Qin Sheng looked around, then walked to the side.

"Why are you going?"

"I'm thirsty and want to eat some snow." After he finished speaking, he asked her hesitantly, "Do you want it?" If he wanted it, he would dig a clean one.

Lu Songli looked at him speechlessly, not to mention whether it was clean or not, it's so cold, you won't get a stomachache if you eat it?But she also knew she had no choice now.

After Qin Sheng finished asking, he remembered his mother said that women should not eat cold food, so he frowned.

Drinking water was indeed a problem, Lu Songli glanced at Xu Zheng's side.

Qin Zhen was still a five-year-old girl, upon hearing the words of this little uncle Qin Sheng, she asked softly, "Father, I'm thirsty too, can I eat snow?"

As soon as he said this, the other children couldn't help but licked their lips, obviously thirsty too.

The children are very sensible and did not ask for hot water or anything.

"Don't eat yet, wait for me for a while." After Lu Songli finished speaking, she walked towards the guards.

Lu Songli found Xu Zheng and other escorts and guards, "Masters, can you remove the shackles from my husband and the two uncles? We promise not to run away. In fact, there is no place for us in Chang'an. This road is icy and snowy, where can we go if we want to run?"

"The three big men are still wearing handcuffs, and they won't run away. They ran away. Don't we women and children want it?"

"If their handcuffs are released, they can also help carry more luggage, and we can walk faster, sir, are you right? If you are not at ease, then remove the locks when you are on the road during the day, and when you rest at night, Put them back on."

While speaking, Lu Songli handed the money in his hand to Xu Zheng.

The money was given to her by her father when he was out of the city just now, and she was not sure if anyone saw it.She took out all of them, and didn't keep one or two.If the wealth is revealed, it will be a disaster if it remains on the body.

Besides, the backup she arranged earlier will come in handy soon.People from Yang Wei's Escort must be waiting ahead to meet them.

The most urgent task now is to see if the shackles and locks on the hands of the three of them can be released.If it doesn't work, you can find out, and use this to see if there are any people in the guards. They have great malice towards them, and you can take precautions against them in the future.

She dared to make this request with some basis.

The exile system has certain written standards. First, Chang'an City is used as the starting point, and it is divided into three grades according to the length of the distance. These three grades are two thousand miles, two thousand five hundred miles, and three thousand miles.

The Qin family was exiled in Pingzhou, which is later known as Liaoyang City, Liaoning.Chang'an is about [-] kilometers away from Pingzhou, and the exile distance is more than [-] miles, which means that the Qin family was exiled according to the highest level.

There is also a time limit for the guards to escort the prisoner. They must escort the prisoner to the place within the specified time and complete the task, otherwise they will be punished.Almost all dynasties have express regulations on this, escorting prisoners to walk fifty miles a day.

Walking three thousand miles, a person in poor health will definitely fall over.Prisoners wore shackles and anklets, and they worked extremely hard. Most people died when they couldn't get anywhere.

Lu Songli believed that these chief officers had requirements on the survival rate of the prisoners.

So she guessed that in the future, when the prisoner couldn't stand it, the guards would relax the restrictions appropriately, such as asking the prisoner to remove some locks or something.

Because the prisoner has no possibility of escape in that environment, and because of the complicated terrain, walking will also be hindered.Of course, except for those who commit crimes that are extremely vicious, or have high force values, they will not be considered for taking the lock.

Xu Zheng flipped his hand, just in time for others to see the silver.

"You go back first, we need to discuss this matter."

"It's ok, I'm sorry to trouble you. If you can't take off the shackles, we can understand your difficulties. But if that's the case, can you give us some hot water?"

Before Xu Zheng could speak, a young guard under him said, "Head, give them some hot water?" He actively offered convenience, all because the other party was too sensible, and what he said made people feel comfortable .

Xu Zheng nodded, "Yes, you can handle this matter."

So the young guard took a porcelain basin for their own use and poured half of the hot water for Lu Songli.

Lu Songli estimated that it weighed three catties, so she thanked her and went back with the water.

Xu Zheng glanced at her, then looked away.His third sister-in-law is really good at doing things, building bridges and passing ladders, many things will happen naturally, and he didn't feel bad, and the relationship between the two of them has always been well hidden.

Lu Songli is not stupid, now it is obvious that the judge is on their side, is there any benefit for her to expose the relationship between the two parties?

After Lu Songli left, Xu Zheng divided the money, "You heard what she said just now. I think what she said is also reasonable. I agree to release the handcuffs of the three of them, and let them go during the day." Hurry up and lock it at night, what do you think?"

"Boss, we have no objection." Several guards took the money and said with a smile.

Zhao Long weighed the silver in his hand, and his eyes were still sweeping over the Qin family, especially Lu Songli, who was his focus of investigation.

Sensing his malicious gaze, Qin Sheng's eyes darkened, he pulled Lu Songli behind him, and blocked the other party's sight with his body.

Zhao Long made an objection, "I disagree!"

Xu Zheng's face darkened, "Why? Don't forget that our trip has a time limit! We have to escort people to Pingzhou within two and a half months. You will be responsible if it exceeds the time limit?"

"The three brothers of the Qin family all came from martial arts backgrounds. What if they escaped if you uncuffed them?"

After all, if the prisoners are lost, they will face extremely cruel punishment when they return to the Yamen.

But Xu Zheng said, "Zhao Long, you are really thinking too much. It is true that they are three big men, but don't forget that they are still wearing handcuffs. Besides, the six of us, can't we see Three sick and elderly female relatives and five young children? As long as a few of them are held hostage, they will not dare to move."

The two groups of people are actually not far away, and their volumes are not too low, so the people on the Qin family's side can really hear it.

The three brothers of the Qin family lowered their heads slightly, thinking disapprovingly, if there is a real contest, the six of you might not win.

But this time, they also saw something. There was something wrong with Xu Zheng, the officer, and the other party was a little biased towards them.

Both Lu Songli and Qin Heng did not inform each other of the backhands they prepared.One is, there is no time, from their marriage, to the news of Qin Yue's death in battle, to the death of the first emperor, to the Qin family being confiscated and sent to prison, one thing after another happened.The second is that the less people know about this backhand, the better.

"No matter what you say, I just don't agree." Zhao Long bit this point to death.

"Zhao Long, don't mess around. It's not the first time that everyone has escorted a prisoner into exile. Everyone knows what will happen in the end, whether or not to release the prisoner from the shackles. Now it's just a little bit ahead of time. Daddy It’s not easy for everyone to make such a long trip during Chinese New Year. I believe everyone wants to send people there safely, and then come back safely. At this time, give them a little convenience, and we can save some trouble.”

"That's right, Deputy Chief Zhao and Chief Xu are right. We only have two and a half months. In fact, the time is very tight. Like now, it took more than half a day to walk seven or eight miles, which is too slow. gone."

"Zhao Long, you don't need to say any more. That's it, if the prisoner is lost, I will be responsible, okay? You answer my question just now, you refuse to let them uncuff during the day. If this trip, we Can you take responsibility for not sending them to Pingzhou on time?" Xu Zheng forced him.

Zhao Long still didn't speak.

"If you say you can be responsible, then I don't understand. If you can't, just listen to me. If you don't say anything now, I will assume that you can't be responsible." After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he sent someone to give the three brothers of the Qin family Released the shackles from his hands.

Those who can take this trip have been checked before departure.

He has a chief escort, a deputy escort, and four guards. He has already greeted these four guards, but the deputy escort named Zhao Long is not allowed to enter.He originally thought of a way to replace the person, but found that he couldn't.Now I can only find opportunities to find reasons to suppress him.
