My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.
Chapter 8 The Road Out of the City
Gold sealing is also called tattooing the face. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, all prisoners sent to exile must have words tattooed on their foreheads as a mark of the person being sentenced.
This is done firstly to prevent the prisoner from escaping, and secondly to humiliate the prisoner and damage his dignity.
There was a square table placed in the corner of the square. Two writers used knives to draw a large bloody mark with the word "prison" on the prisoner's forehead, and then stained it with black ink, which will last forever.
The prisoner struggled continuously due to the fear and pain of his skin being bruised and bleeding, but he was restrained by the guards and screamed continuously for a while.
The Qin family were demoted to common people and were not considered prisoners. They were exempted from punishments such as wearing prison clothes, tattoos, and shackles. They were sitting or standing aside, trembling with cold and fear.
Su Yunwan sat next to the stretcher, tucked Qin Junyi's cloak, and injected the wood healing power into his body without leaving a trace.
Qin Junyi, who had lost his martial arts skills, was weak and weak and did not notice any abnormalities. The relief of pain was attributed to internal healing and a night's rest.
Cen Yiyi came to the other side of Qin Junyi and put on a pitiful look: "Cousin, I'm scared."
Qin Junyi avoided suspicion and said, "You go and accompany your grandmother."
"..."
Cen Yiyi left and went to take a look at Su Yunwana, only to see her eyes were calm and calm, watching the golden seal without sadness or joy, not caring at all about her approach.
She secretly resented it and decided to take the elder route.
After all the prisoners were tattooed, the men put on willow leaf iron shackles weighing forty or fifty kilograms, and the women put on wooden hand shackles. They formed a group of five and lined up in two rows.
"It's getting late. We can set off after traveling fifty miles a day!" Zhong Wei, the leader of the expedition, mounted his tall horse and raised his sword to give orders.
As the heavy doors opened on both sides, the deportation team was vast and slowly moved towards the outside of the city.
When we passed through the busy city, it was already bright, and many city residents stopped to watch. They either whispered to each other, or made comments, or even worse, picked up stones and weeds on the roadside and threw them at the prisoners, cursing that corrupt officials deserved to be exiled.
Some prisoners were unable to dodge and their heads were smashed by stones, causing them to bleed profusely.
When they saw the Qin family at the end of the team who had not changed into prison uniforms and were not restrained, the onlookers gradually became quiet when they heard that they were from Prince Qin's palace.
They have not forgotten that the old prince died six years ago, and the Turkic army marched straight in, and will soon arrive in the capital. It was Qin Junyi who was in danger at the funeral and was ordered to do so. After several years of bloody fighting, he finally drove the Turkic enemy troops out of the country and signed a truce contract that was beneficial to his own side.
Suddenly, a purse flew from the second floor. Su Yunwan reached out to grab it and thanked a girl at the window. The girl smiled shyly.
With her taking the lead, others also threw money bags, and the woman threw in the rice, noodles, vegetables and meat they had just bought, making Su Yunwan dumbfounded.
They knew very well the principle of flying separately when disaster strikes, so they threw all their things towards the stretcher at the end.
Everyone in the eldest house was overwhelmed, and they felt grateful but also awkward: they were the ones who rewarded everyone in the past, but today they have become the objects of mercy.
Su Yunwan narrowly caught the cabbage that was about to hit Qin Junyi's head and took a deep breath.
The people were so enthusiastic that she could hardly bear it!
When he was approaching the city gate, Qin Junyi, whose eyes were red, endured the pain and struggled to sit up. He raised his hands and thanked the people who were silently seeing him off: "Thank you all for seeing me off. I am grateful and disrespectful, but I can't repay you. I wish you all the best, peace and happiness!"
Su Yunwan, who was supporting him, also bowed slightly and bowed, thanking the simple and pure people.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!" "Your Majesty, live well!" "Your Majesty, have a nice journey!" the people shouted, and those with sensibility secretly wiped away their tears.
Qin Junyi nodded to everyone. Su Yunwan helped him lie down and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
As soon as they left the city gate, the eldest lady began to ask for money: "Ms. Su, give me all your money."
Qin Junyi immediately said hoarsely: "Mother, these children need to be used."
"Ask mom for it when you want it."
Su Yunwan sneered: "When will it be the back house's turn to take care of the expenses of the front yard? You may have stretched your hand too far."
Among the dozens of people in the Qin family, the one she hates the most is none other than Pei. If you dare to ask her for money, you won’t be afraid of having her hand chopped off!
"Ms. Pei, you have overstepped your bounds!" Qin's mother scolded and ordered, "Everyone, please hand over all the money you just received. Brother Yi will be in charge."
Nowadays, the status of women is low, and men are the leaders of the family. Money income and expenditure are all managed by men, and women have no right to interfere. It's just that for the sake of convenience, wealthy families will hand over some affairs to the back house for management, and the person with the highest authority is still the head of the family.
Pei didn't expect that instead of asking for the money, she would actually have to hand it over. She saw other people obeying the order and handing it over to their eldest son, so she had to take out the most deflated purse and throw it away.
The people in the third room were full of jealousy. They were walking in front and wanted to turn back to pick it up, but they were blocked by the official. Not only did he not even touch a vegetable leaf, he was also whipped several times for staying there.
They tell themselves over and over again: The untouchables only have a few copper coins, and they don’t add up to much money.
But I’m still so angry!
"Yun Wan, I'll receive it from you first."
As soon as Qin Junyi finished speaking, Pei's eyes widened, while Su Yunwan directly put all the money bags into the cloth pocket he was carrying.
This cloth bag was specially given to me by a caring aunt who saw that everyone was giving away too many things.
"Hurry up! Don't stop!" After more than an hour of walking on the way out of the city, the team's speed slowed down visibly, and the officials waved their whips and kept driving them away.
When they reached a high ground, many prisoners looked back at Kyoto and shed tears.
They know that most of the exiled people will end up buried in a foreign land. Can they come back?
"Ahead is the Ten Mile Pavilion!" Zhong Wei, who was riding a horse, shouted loudly.
As soon as they heard the word "Changting", the exhausted people got motivation again.
After walking for more than half an hour, the team finally arrived at Changting, the place where they said goodbye to Beijing.
At this time, several farewell people were already waiting outside the Changting Pavilion. They hugged and cried with the target prisoner.
Others are looking forward to it and are full of anxiety, even the Qin family is like this.
"Mom, will uncle and the others come to say goodbye?" Qin Ruolan asked uncertainly.
Mrs. Pei insisted: "Yes, we will be there in a minute."
In the past, she used the housekeeper's convenience to send a lot of benefits to her parents' family. Now that her family is in trouble, they will definitely come to send her gifts.
But Su Yunwan knew that her parents would not show up until the team set off.
"Uncle Zhuang! We are here!"
When Qin Ruoshan saw someone emerging from a donkey cart, she waved her hands and shouted in surprise, and everyone in the four rooms quickly came over to greet him.
This is done firstly to prevent the prisoner from escaping, and secondly to humiliate the prisoner and damage his dignity.
