How can mortals fight against gods? The Xiao family is protected by gods, so this might be true.

Yu Huaqian swallowed his saliva, too lazy to watch Dong Wenfeng's joke, and waved his hand quickly.

"Don't look at it anymore. Lift General Xiao up and don't let him fall. Let's go quickly..."

Yu Huaqian gave some instructions and hurried towards the city gate.

Hand the Xiao family over to the officers quickly, and the rest will be none of his business.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and only reacted when they heard Eunuch Yu's voice. They quickly dismounted and ran to help Dong Wenfeng.

"General Dong..."

"Oh no, General Dong's head is broken..."

"Go to the clinic and call for help, General Dong Wen has fainted..."

.......

The soldiers were in chaos, carrying Dong Wenfeng, whose face was covered in blood, towards a nearby clinic.

As for the mad warhorse that ran away, no one even thought of chasing it.

The soldiers had been ordered around all morning and were exhausted, so their brains naturally weren't working so well.

The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Dali Temple all became busy, taking soldiers everywhere to look for clues.

These soldiers and guards had just followed the crowd and had not even had time to catch their breath when they were immediately called back to work.

The Ministry of Justice searched the house, the Ministry of War searched the house, and the Dali Temple also searched the house...

The soldiers who searched the houses became numb, and it was normal for the same house to be searched five times.

.........

“Madam Xiao, we will send you here. Take care on your way.”

Yu Huaqian wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke politely to Madam Xiao.

Finally, these hot potatoes have been handed over.

Old Madam Xiao frowned and looked at Yu Huaqian, not understanding why Yu Huaqian's attitude had changed so much.

She nodded slightly and didn't want to say anything to Yu Huaqianduo.

He looked down at Xiao Yunzhan lying on the quilt, wondering what to do next.

The four daughters-in-law couldn't carry Xiao Yunzhan far.

If you walk too slowly, the officers will not agree.

Yu Huaqian didn't care about Madam Xiao's attitude. He curled his lips and turned to the chief of the officials, Meng Zhuang, and said loudly,

"Master Meng, the journey of exile is very difficult. The women of the Xiao family are all weak and helpless. You don't need to bring bracelets and anklets. It's more important to hurry on your way."

As soon as the women of the Xiao family gathered around Xiao Yunzhan and squatted down, they heard what Yu Huaqian said.

They all raised their heads and looked at Yu Huaqian in surprise.

I don’t know what Yu Huaqian is up to, and why he suddenly pleaded for them.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. It seems that we need to be more careful on the road.

When Lin Yiran heard what Yu Huaqian said, she was slightly stunned and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

While she was casually tidying up the quilt, she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

Seeing that there was still some space above Xiao Yunzhan's head, she grabbed Xiao Yunzhan's arm and pulled him up.

When I took my hand back, I saw his ears move slightly out of the corner of my eye.

Lin Yiran curled her lips and smiled. It was hard for Xiao Yunzhan to endure for so long. It was not so easy to pretend to be dead.

A man can bend and stretch.

If you can be so patient, you will surely achieve great things in the future.

Meng Zhuang over there was also quite frightened.

To put it bluntly, these officials are marginal figures. They escort criminals and people in the capital look down on them.

Unless there are relatives in the family who have been exiled to their hands, you can be polite to them. Other Beijing officials look at them like dogs.

Meng Zhuang's pupils shocked and he looked at Yu Huaqian somewhat flattered.

This was a top-ranking eunuch beside Emperor Wu of Liang. Even the first-rank ministers were polite when they met Eunuch Yu.

Suddenly calling a small official "sir" is like the sun rising in the west.

Meng Zhuang clasped his hands together and nodded with a big smile on his face.

"Mr. Yu is right. We only have half a day left, so I won't wear bracelets or anklets for now..."

Not wearing them now doesn’t mean not wearing them in the future. Without the bracelets and anklets, what will happen if these prisoners run around?

To give Eunuch Yu some face, they were not allowed to wear bracelets and anklets for the remaining half day's journey.

When you set off tomorrow, you still have to take what you need with you.

Yu Huaqian understood what the officer meant, but he didn't say much.

He just wanted to do the Xiao family a favor on the surface so that they would not hate him and avoid being punished by God.

For things like this, it is better to believe it than not.

Especially now that so many incredible things have happened in the capital, he has to act with caution.

Anyway, it's just a matter of opening your mouth to sell something good, there's no loss.

"That's great. Let's set off early so as not to delay your rest at the post station."

Yu Huaqian looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Yu, for your advice. I have another question for you."

Meng Zhuang grinned with his yellow teeth, approached Yu Huaqian and asked in a low voice,

"Eunuch Yu, may I ask what happened in the capital? Usually, people can only enter but not leave, but today, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Can you tell me something?"

In the morning, they suddenly received the assignment to escort the family of the Duke of Zhenguo to exile in Ningguta, which almost shocked them to death.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been loyal for generations, so why were they suddenly exiled?

And didn’t General Xiao just win a battle? Why was he not rewarded? Instead, his property was confiscated and he was exiled?

Before he and his brothers had time to find out, they were suddenly driven outside the city gate to wait.

He was not allowed to enter or approach the city gate, which made him extremely curious.

A strong smell of bad breath hit her face. Yu Huaqian frowned slightly, trying hard to hold back his disgusted expression, and said softly,

"Mr. Meng, you may not know that all the residences of the civil and military officials in the capital have been robbed. The thieves are rampant and outrageous. The emperor had no choice but to order the city gates to be closed and the matter to be thoroughly investigated."

Yu Huaqian picked up some unimportant things and talked about them, but the thefts in the palace and the national treasury should not be talked about casually.

Emperor Wu of Liang directly ordered to keep silent about it, so who dared to spread the news?

Talking nonsense at this critical juncture is like risking your life.

"Thieves are so rampant now! It seems that a lot of money has been stolen."

Meng Zhuang's eyes widened in shock.

No wonder the Xiao family had no relatives to see them off when they were exiled. It seemed that their home was robbed and they had no money.

Hey ~

This trip was a loss. Without relatives to see them off, the prisoners had no money to honor them.

Looking at the prison uniforms they were wearing, it was obvious that they had been searched and they definitely didn't have a penny on them.

Everyone had disheveled hair and didn't even have a silver hairpin.

What bad luck!

Yu Huaqian nodded, "It's indeed a lot. It's getting late, Lord Meng should hurry up and leave. Remember, this matter is between you and me, and you must not spread it around."

"Thank you, Eunuch Yu, for the advice!"

Meng Zhuang clasped his hands together to thank Yu Huaqian, then turned around and waved.

"set off!"

Lin Yiran was about to stand up by pulling the corner of the quilt when she heard a quick and shrill voice coming from the city gate.

"Wait!"

"and many more!"
