Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

"exile?"

Hearing Gu Lang say this word, Chen Xing was puzzled for the first time. He had heard this word in TV dramas before, but in his perception, those prisoners were escorted away. In the past, these prisoners not far away were obviously escorted by prison cars.

"What?" Gu Lang looked at the doubt in Chen Xing's eyes, and asked intimately.

Hearing Gu Lang's gentle voice, Chen Xing felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the problem he was struggling with just now. He felt that his question was really difficult to talk about, and it would make him appear ignorant.

But Gu Lang looked at him, as if he had guessed what was on his mind, and continued in a low voice: "Is there something embarrassing that makes it difficult for the stars to tell me? If so, wouldn't it be too much?" Get out with me."

When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang say this, he immediately became anxious, looked at him and said anxiously: "I didn't, I just think my question is too stupid."

"I don't despise you." Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's anxious look, gently raised the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Who told you that you are a star."

Chen Xing became more and more embarrassed when he heard the words, and under Gu Lang's staring gaze, he said slowly: "I'm just a little curious, why do these prisoners need to use prison cars when they are sent to exile?"

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Gu Lang smiled softly, looked up at the team that was gradually going away, and said softly: "Theoretically, they should all walk there, after all, that would be considered a punishment. It's just a land of exile." Difficult, these people may not be able to survive there. Some county magistrates take pity on these prisoners and let these prison cars take them for a ride. When they leave the place under their jurisdiction and reach the edge of the exile, the prison cars will return. .”

After listening to Chen Xing, he felt that this rule was a bit strange. Since he had compassion for these prisoners, why didn't he just give him a lighter sentence, so that he wouldn't need to go into exile!

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's tangled face, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, looked at him and asked, "But I was wondering why they were all exiled and treated so well for them?"

Being guessed by Gu Lang, Chen Xing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, how could Gu Lang know everything.Although shy, he was very curious about the answer to this matter, so he looked at Gu Lang with a troubled expression, waiting for his answer.

Gu Lang didn't answer the question just now, but looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Do you know how the previous dynasty was in power?"

How did Chen Xing know about this? He has only been here for a short time, and he can't even figure out what happened in modern times. How could he figure out what happened in the previous dynasty.So, he honestly shook his head in front of Gu Lang, and honestly expressed that he didn't know about it.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's confused face, the curve of his lips gradually deepened, his eyes looked vaguely not far away, as if he was recalling a long time ago, he opened his mouth slowly,

"The former emperor is the uncle of the new emperor. The new emperor lost his father when he was young, so his uncle took the opportunity to take the throne. It's a pity that although the emperor grabbed the position, he didn't take the responsibility of his position. Everything he does depends on his preferences. In the court, the party members were allowed to be relatives. Therefore, a situation of collusion between top and bottom and corrupt officials was rampant, and those who did not cooperate with them or even wanted to overthrow them, they colluded with each other and exiled their whole family."

When Chen Xing heard what Gu Lang said, a guess gradually emerged in his mind.

Sure enough, Gu Lang continued: "There are local parents who sympathize with them, but they dare not help them blatantly, so they can only help them maintain their dignity in the end, hoping that they will have a better life in the future.

And the rule of using a prison car to see them off has been kept until now, but now it's not for them to survive, it's just to show the benevolence and righteousness of the local parents and officials. "

Chen Xing was dumbfounded after hearing this. He didn't know that there was such an allusion to seeing off a prison car. At this time, his mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know whether to sympathize with those good officials who were framed, or to be happy for these criminals now. The same treatment as those good officials feel worthless.

Looking at Chen Xing's distressed expression, Gu Lang put away the unfathomable expression on his face, and returned to the gentle and jade-like appearance in the past, stretched out his hand to rub his head, and said with a smile: "Okay Don't think too much about it, left and right are things of the past. The new emperor is a benevolent king, and under his rule, this country will get better and better!"

Chen Xing nodded, and the solemn look on his face dissipated little by little, and when he raised his head again, he returned to his usual optimistic look.

Seeing Chen Xing's coaxing, Gu Lang also showed a smile, and continued: "Didn't you say you want to go to the shop? Let's find someone first, he should know the rental information nearby."

"Hmm." Chen Xing didn't have any objections to Gu Lang's arrangement, after all, he has only been here for a long time, and he knows far less than Gu Lang.Chen Xing and the two left side by side, and walked towards the direction Gu Lang said together.

They didn't even notice that the numb woman, who was originally staying in a corner of the prison car, suddenly looked in their direction, and after seeing Gu Lang's appearance clearly, she rushed to the side of the prison car with an excited expression , trying to reach out his hand as if trying to grab Gu Lang.

With a "snap", the heavy whip directly hit the woman's hand, and the woman immediately withdrew her hand.

The officer looked viciously at the dishonest woman sitting in the prison car, shook the whip in his hand as if threatening, saw the woman subconsciously trying to dodge, laughed contemptuously, and said with a sneer: "Be quiet! Don't make any fuss, or I will give you a good look."

Boss Qiao covered himself with a whip. At this time, with his burning and painful hands, he looked at the official who was threateningly staring at him, and nodded desperately.

The officer looked at her timidly, with a satisfied expression on her face. After spitting, she put away the whip in her hand, and went to chat with her colleagues with her hands behind her back.

Boss Qiao looked at the departing official, and then looked back at the direction where Gu Lang and the others were standing just now, only to see that there was nothing else there except an empty bamboo basket.

Boss Qiao thought of the scene she saw just now. The handsome scholar and the handsome brother were talking. The picture was as beautiful as a painting, and her tears fell unconsciously.At first, it was a soft sob, and then it was a loud cry, and it gradually became more and more heart-piercing.

She was wrong!She was so wrong!She shouldn't have had that bit of greed in the first place, if she hadn't moved that bit of greed, maybe she wouldn't have become what she is now!

Boss Qiao was crying heart-rendingly. The prisoners around him watched numbly, and the passers-by were also not surprised, pointing and watching the excitement.

The officer with the whip in his hand glanced at the woman who had just been warned and was now making a sound again. Just as he was about to raise the whip in his hand to teach her a lesson, he was stopped by the officer next to him.

The official looked at him and said with a joking smile: "Let her go, anyway, I won't be able to cry in the future."

The officer holding the whip glanced at the person who was talking to him, and then at the woman whose voice gradually became softer, put away the whip, "That's right, after all, you can't cry after you die."

Chen Xing followed Gu Lang out of the street full of shops and came to a neighborhood full of residents.

Looking at the alleys lined up in front of him, full of life, Chen Xing looked at a bare-bottomed child running past, and was a little curious about how the person Gu Lang said could live here.

When Chen Xing came back to his senses again, he saw Gu Lang, who was supposed to be standing beside him, had already reached the gate of a courtyard in front of him at some point, and gently knocked the bolt on the door.

After a while, a half-blind old man opened the door from the inside, looked at Gu Lang who was standing outside, and asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Lang looked at the old man, and said politely: "Old man, we want to rent a shop, so we came here specially to find out about it."

The old man glanced at the calm Gu Lang, then looked at Chen Xing who was curiously looking at the alley not far away, opened the door in front of him and let them in.

Gu Lang, who Chen Xing raised his foot to walk in, hurriedly followed him in. When he got inside, he found that although the yard was small, it was very clean. There was a young man in his early twenties under the tree in the middle of the yard. At this time, he was sitting on a rocking chair and rocking slowly.

After Chen Xing and the others came in, the young man glanced at them lightly, then slowly sat up from the rocking chair, looked at them and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Rent."

The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Lang who was talking, and continued: "What kind of look do you need? What is the price you can afford?"

Gu Lang immediately said what they had discussed at Gu's house, "We need a shop with a kitchen to do business with."

The man lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at them again, and said in a low voice, "I know a few places like this. Are you looking at the house now, or make an appointment to see it in a few days?"

Gu Lang glanced at the curious Chen Xing, and said directly, "Just today."

"Okay." You young man was also unambiguous, patted the non-existent dust on the clothes, and directly led Chen Xing and the others towards the shops he mentioned.

Chen Xing watched him lead the way on his own, and didn't talk to them. He felt that he was very different from those intermediaries in his previous life, so he pulled Gu Lang's sleeve curiously. When he looked over curiously, I asked out my curiosity, "Is this how he usually shows people around the house?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's undisguised expression on how a person like him does business, smiled lightly, and explained for him: "That's his style, although he doesn't look like it. It’s very reliable, but as long as you find something about him, you can basically satisfy the employer.”

Hearing Gu Lang's explanation, Chen Xing had a little more respect for the man in front of him. Just being able to get the employer to come to him and be satisfied with the work is already not easy.

While Chen Xing was talking to Gu Lang, the man had already brought them to the first store they wanted to visit.

The man stopped in his tracks, raised his chin, and said to the two people following him, "This is the first one."
