Quickly wear a life of peace
Chapter 189 Exile to Lingnan 4
The purpose of doing this is to make it easier for Song Qingning to get married in the future.
I can pick a good boy instead of those ugly ones.
Either he is an abandoned child who is not valued by his family, or he wants to get on the Song family's bandwagon but has no ability and wants to be a gigolo.
The Song family naturally looks down upon such people.
My daughter is doing well now, she is very smart, and she has a good family background. She also has an elder sister who is the prince's concubine. Naturally, she can choose a much better candidate for a husband.
The Song family had a good idea and Song Qingning was willing to cooperate, but things did not always go as planned.
Just one day before the emperor put down his pen, Censor Song was reported for accepting bribes.
Moreover, there were witnesses and physical evidence, and the charges were proven solid.
Under such circumstances, even his prince son-in-law could not protect him.
What's more, this was originally aimed at the Sixth Prince.
The cause was that the Second Prince failed to win over the Sixth Prince and wanted to teach him a lesson, and the Song family was in trouble.
Otherwise, how could anyone go to such great lengths to harm Censor Song, a contented person who usually only took part in trivial matters and had never offended anyone?
Censor Song was directly thrown into prison and his conviction would be decided after the trial.
The Song family was suddenly in chaos, and the three boys could no longer concentrate on their studies. Every day they went to the homes of Censor Song's friends and the Sixth Prince's residence to inquire about information and find ways to clear their father's name.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. The matter was confirmed by the emperor himself, and the other party was also very aggressive and had sufficient evidence. Unless evidence was found that the person had forged the case and made a false accusation, it would be useless.
However, the power of the Second Prince is not comparable to that of the Sixth Prince. Unless he goes to join another prince and seek help from other forces, he will have a chance to fight against the Second Prince.
As for joining the Second Prince, that is absolutely impossible.
There is no benefit in joining hands with such a petty, ruthless person. If he were to really sit on the throne, who knows what chaos the world would be in!
The Sixth Prince had never thought about the issue of positioning, as the risk was high and the return was low.
There would be no benefit for him if he won, and if he lost, his whole family would suffer a bad outcome, so he would not surrender to any prince.
But the Second Prince will be his enemy from now on. If he doesn’t help, will he not cause trouble?
The Song family spent this year in misery, waiting for the final judgment.
During these days, the women of the Song family have been busy. They have spent and given away the family's property, leaving only a little cash for use. The rest, including the dowry, has been gathered and sent to other places for safekeeping.
Everyone waited in fear until the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the emperor issued an edict to dismiss Censor Song from office, confiscate his property, and exile him to Lingnan.
Everyone knew why not much money was seized from the Song family. After all, there was still the Sixth Prince, so no one made things difficult for him.
The female family members temporarily lived in Song Qingya's dowry courtyard, waiting to go to Lingnan together in a few days. Even the elderly lady insisted on going with them.
Now that things had been settled, the Song family began to get busy preparing for the trip to Lingnan.
Mistress Zhang was afraid that her daughter would be wronged without her family's support, so she took out all her dowry.
Half of it was given to the Sixth Prince, hoping that he would consider these things and not mistreat his daughter.
Half of it was given to Song Qingya, because she was afraid that she would be troubled by the people in the Prince's Mansion, so she could spend money to avoid trouble.
All the servants in the house were sold again. With no servants left, old lady Jia ordered the three boys in the family to go shopping.
The members of this family no longer had to be shackled like prisoners and driven away by officials.
They just go along the way and can go wherever they want.
The journey was long, so first of all, we had to prepare several carriages so that all the women in the family could sit in them.
Moreover, everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation must be prepared along the way.
But Lingnan is a place with humid climate, steep and rugged terrain, and many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. How can people like them with delicate bodies adapt to it?
If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Therefore, it is important to have enough medicinal materials in case you get sick and have no cure.
Jia also asked her eldest grandson Song Ji Yang to go to the clinic to inquire about what medicinal materials were needed. It would be best if she could prescribe some commonly used prescriptions.
Song Qingning has been under the care of her aunt these days, and she is not allowed to go out of the house.
Xiao He did come and gave her all the money that the Niu family had earned during this period.
Xiao He originally wanted to go to Lingnan with the Song family so that she could continue to take care of Song Qingning.
But Song Qingning felt that it was unnecessary. It was not easy to come back from such a long distance. He couldn't let the whole family be separated by thousands of miles just because of him.
As for the tofu business, in fact, after they left, if the Niu family couldn't find a backer, it wouldn't be so easy to make money now.
Song Qingning could imagine how they would be forced to hand over the prescription, so she had no intention of accepting the money.
But Xiao He insisted on giving it, and said that the Niu family also had the same idea and insisted that she accept it.
Seeing how sincere they were, Song Qingning took Xiao He to find Zhang.
Although Zhang's family has declined in recent years, it is still a family with a good foundation.
As long as a talented person emerges, the Zhang family will be able to rise again. It will be no problem to protect the Niu family.
Song Qingning also explained it clearly to Xiaohe, although relying on the Zhang family would require paying 20% of the profits.
But it saved them a lot of trouble. Xiao He understood and was very grateful, and kowtowed to her again.
On the day of departure, a group of people wearing shackles and chains were lined up on the official road outside the city, guarded by officials, and one meter away from them stood people who came to see them off.
In addition to the Song family, there were four other families who were exiled.
One family was the former Runzhou prefect Gong Shuhong, who was also charged with corruption and abuse of power, but the entire family was imprisoned and exiled.
Gong Shuhong caused the deaths of many people in order to amass wealth, and was jointly reported by several candidates. After the facts were verified, he was beheaded and his three clans were exiled.
One family was the military general Cheng family. Because a playboy in the family had a conflict with a member of the royal family and beat the royal family member to death, the whole family was sentenced to exile.
The other two are more interesting. One is Zhou Siheng, the imperial physician in the palace.
I heard that he had killed one of the emperor's beloved concubines, leaving two bodies. The emperor was furious, so he sentenced him to exile as well.
The other family has the greatest background and is the descendant of the founding heroes, the family of Duke Weiguo.
The Duke of Wei was caught by the emperor because of problems with the military pay and food supplies sent to the border. He had his property confiscated, his head beheaded, and he was exiled.
When the Duke of Wei's mansion was raided, an incredible event occurred.
Nothing was found in their house. The storehouse was clean and there was not even a grain of food in the granary.
