My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The third master winked at his sons, but the five sons, three direct descendants, two concubines, all avoided the sight of him and the jailer.

They were frightened by Qin Junxian's beating and frightened by his murderous intention, so they did not dare to frame him at will. The most important thing is that they didn't get along with Qin Junyi much, so they couldn't make any mistakes at all.

That night, the three rooms of the Qin family completely broke up.

Early the next morning, Mother Qin woke up haggard and burst into tears: "It's all my fault! It's my fault!"

The eldest lady comforted her with soft words, but she sneered in her heart: It's not your fault!

It turned out that decades ago, the Turks invaded the border, and Qin Junyi's grandfather was ordered to go out.

The imperial court has an unwritten rule: when a general goes on an expedition, his family members stay in the capital. As a family member, Qin's mother must stay in the capital.

Qin's mother was reluctant to let her eight-year-old son live a military life, so she forced him to stay in the capital as a companion. Since then, the third master has never left the capital.

The third master, who was raised pampered and raised, is no different from other idle officials' children, and he doesn't have the character of a general at all.

This is why Qin's mother saw Pei's abuse of her eldest grandson more than ten years ago and proposed that she raise Qin Junyi, but the old prince firmly opposed it.

On this day, no one in the hungry Qin family was picky about the unpalatable food, and they ate all the prison food.

The third master who reported meritoriously received preferential treatment and was given a few extra home-cooked meals.

The third master contributed all to Qin's mother, hoping to exchange for her understanding. As long as Qin's mother was on his side, he would not be afraid of the first opportunity to retaliate.

At first Qin's mother was angry and unwilling to take it, but then she couldn't resist her strong appetite and scolded her while eating. Finally, the third master and his wife coaxed Qin's mother to calm down on the grounds that they wanted to leave blood for the Qin family.

Everyone in the first and fourth rooms were dumbfounded, but Su Yunwan was not surprised. It was Mother Qin's bottomless pampering that made the third master dare to take this step.

On the third night of his imprisonment, the dull atmosphere of the Qin family was broken. Qin Junyi came back!

At that time, everyone had just finished dinner, and the jailer led several black-clad guards and eunuchs to carry a stretcher into the prison.

Under the dim candlelight, Qin Junyi was on the stretcher. He was dressed in black clothes and there was no visible trauma, but his face was extremely pale. Sweat was constantly seeping from his forehead, and his cracked and peeling lips were bitten with a blood line. He was obviously suffering from great pain.

However, even so, the coldness of the iron blood tempered on the battlefield has not diminished at all, and the dark eyes are like a century-old ice pool, with a cold air and no anger.

"Brother!" Qin Junxian, who had excellent eyesight, was the first to see Qin Junyi and cried out sadly.

Qin's mother and Qin Ruolan burst into tears, but as a mother, the eldest lady looked sad and did not show much urgency. Cen Yiyi was crying so hard that she wished she could take her own life.

Su Yunwan clenched her fists tightly, and even though she was mentally prepared, a raging fire was burning in her heart. But as soon as she had the idea of ​​killing the Dog Emperor, she received a warning from the power: Don't trap the people in water and fire for selfish desires.

Only then did she remember that in order to prevent usurping the throne, the Dog Emperor had all his brothers and nephews who had the right to inherit the throne killed. If he died, the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty would inevitably fall into civil war and be torn apart.

At this time, the eunuch issued a decree of judgment. The entire Qin family was sentenced to a sentence of exile, which was second only to the death penalty. Because of the protection of the king, they were exempted from being sent to the army. They were only demoted to common people and were exiled to Youzhou three thousand miles away. Their descendants were not allowed to join the army or take imperial examinations.

Seeing the visitor turning around to leave, the third master asked eagerly: "What about me? Where about me?"

The eunuch made a characteristic mocking sound: "As a member of the Qin clan, do you still need to ask?"

"No! That's not what you said at the beginning!" The third master and his sons were all panicked, frantically demanding an explanation.

The eunuch spat: "Bah! What the hell!"

After the jailer sent the eunuch and others away, he turned around and said lightly: "The Holy One decreed the judgment personally, and there is nothing we can do about it. We have provided you with delicious food and drink these past two days. We have done our best to be benevolent and righteous!"

The third room was spitting out fragrant fragrance, and the jailer's face turned stern: "How dare you be dissatisfied with the imperial edict?"

As soon as these words came out, the curses stopped suddenly, and they were like ducks being strangled by the neck, their faces flushed red from holding back.

Qin Junyi closed his eyes lightly, frowned, and allowed his brother to input his internal energy to relieve some of the piercing pain in his heart.

He had already known what the third master had done, and his confession was lying in his arms. It pointed out the self-importance of stationing troops, withholding military pay, delaying military affairs, etc., which was vividly interpreted out of nothing.

However, now that there are so many people in the third room in the prison, it is difficult for one brother to resist, so he will endure it for the time being and wait until he is released from prison to sort out the situation.

"Cousin, have you had dinner?" Cen Yiyi in the cell opposite stopped crying and asked with choked sobs.

Qin Junyi nodded slightly, his eyes only stayed on her for a second, and then turned to look at his newlywed wife.

The many days in jail did not make her panic and haggard. But he still felt guilty in his heart. If she hadn't married him, she would still be a rich daughter of a wealthy family, with fine clothes and food.

Su Yunwan received his guilty look, smiled slightly, and untied his cloak: "Your Majesty, the cell is cold and cold, use this as a quilt."

"No, you keep it for yourself." Qin Junyi weakly refused.

Su Yunwan didn't listen, and asked Qin Junyu to catch up and throw it away.

With the body-heated cloak covering his body, Qin Junyi finally felt a touch of warmth in his heart, which had been falling into an ice cave for many days.

Qin Junxian exchanged his coat with the jailer for a bowl of lean pork liver porridge and a bag full of water.

After the things were delivered, Qin Junyi struggled to stand up and lay half on Qin Junyu, biting his thin lips slightly and frowning tightly.

He was given the most torturous punishment in prison - soul-destroying nails.

Five soul-killing nails penetrated into the spine, the martial arts were completely useless, the heart was corroded to the bones, and life was worse than death.

What's even more cruel is that there is a special device on the soul-destroying nail, which can only enter but not exit. If it has to be removed, it will damage the bone marrow and meridians, causing permanent paralysis.

Now he has become a disabled person who stays on the bed every day and endures pain all the time. And as long as the slightest movement, it will cause pain that can drive people crazy, and they will not be able to survive or die.

At this time, Qin Junyi's vision turned black. He only ate a few mouthfuls of lean meat porridge and then couldn't swallow any more.

The pain that exceeded the body's tolerance threshold made his stomach contract. He almost wanted to vomit, but he restrained it with great willpower.

After drinking some more water, Qin Junyi lay back on the stretcher. Under the influence of his brother's internal force, his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

*

At Mao o'clock the next day, morning light was approaching.

In the courtyard of Tingwei Mansion, a large group of people who were about to be exiled gathered. In addition to the Qin family, there was also the Chu Shao family of the Yulin Army Counselor, and some unkempt prisoners, totaling about 200 people.

The autumn wind is bleak and the vegetation is sparse. Many people cried softly, feeling uneasy and desperate about the upcoming trip.

There were 80 officers responsible for the escort, and they prepared several horses and donkey carts to transport supplies.

After counting the number of people, a government official shouted: "Everyone, line up to get the gold seal!"
