Exiled 3,000 miles away? Don't worry, Madam has space.

Chapter 39 Handed over to the Xie Family

Before he reached the door of his house, the strong men from yesterday appeared, surrounded him, and put a knife to the one-eyed old man's neck.

Liu Zi came over and snorted unhappily: "What a stubborn old man, the Second Prince invites you to the capital for a gathering, that is your blessing.

Not only did you not appreciate it, you even dared to run away. You are really tired of living!"

The one-eyed old man didn't say anything, but just looked at Liu Zi quietly.

When Liu Zi met the old man's eyes, he didn't know why he felt a little panicked, because his eyes were too empty, as if there was nothing worth remembering in the world.

Fearing that the one-eyed old man would kill him in order to avoid going to the capital, Liu Zi asked the strong men to capture the old man and tie him up.

The one-eyed old man did not resist and let the strong man tie him up obediently. He looked very happy to accept the situation, which was completely different from his previous attempt to escape.

The one-eyed old man seemed to have accepted his fate, but also seemed not to.

"Humph, why didn't you just listen to me earlier? Why did you waste so much of our time? You old bastard, I'm telling you, when you go to the capital and see the Second Prince, you must tell him everything you know without holding back a single thing."

The one-eyed old man lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Zicai didn't care what the one-eyed old man was thinking. In his opinion, the other party couldn't escape and could only follow the people arranged by the second prince to go to the capital.

"Okay, now that we've caught him, let's quickly send him to the Second Prince. I guess the Second Prince must be waiting anxiously." Liu Zi urged.

The strong men thought so too. One of them took out two silver notes of 100 taels and put them in Liu Zi's hand: "This is the reward from the second prince."

When Liu Zi saw the two hundred taels of silver, he was so happy that his eyes almost narrowed into a line.

The strong men escorted the one-eyed old man away. Liu Zi returned to the inn and went straight to Li Dali's room.

"Boss, I have found the person. This is a gift to you." Liu Zi gave Li Dali a silver note worth fifty taels.

Li Dali nodded with satisfaction and put away the banknote.

"It's quite fast." Li Dali said with a smile.

Liu Zi smiled from ear to ear: "Yeah, that stinky old man escaped before, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch him, but I didn't expect that I would catch him this morning when I stayed at his house."

Li Dali responded: "Now that we have found the person, let's get on with our journey."

More than a day has been wasted, and Li Dali just wants to set off quickly.

Afterwards, Li Dali ordered other escorts to urge the exiled prisoners to set off.

When the Xie family and the Liu family father and son heard the news, they were stunned for a moment, then quickly packed up their things, left the straw hut, and walked out of the inn.

When the Feng family members passed by the Xie family, they all looked at them with resentment, especially Feng Lao San who was lying on the cart, whose hatred could be described as deep-rooted.

The Xie family looked indifferent and didn't care about the looks of the Feng family. Anyway, the conflict between the two families was very deep and could not be resolved, and there was no need to resolve it.

As usual, the Xie family and the Liu family father and son walked at the end of the exile team.

When they walked out of the town gate, a carriage happened to pass by them. The curtains were blown up, and Ye Qinglin saw the one-eyed old man sitting inside.

The one-eyed old man also saw Ye Qinglin and gave her a very faint smile, which contained a hint of relief.

Ye Qinglin paused and opened her mouth to call for help, but the car had already gone far away.

Ye Qinglin sighed helplessly. The one-eyed old man’s bag was still in her space!

"Alin, the coachman is the strong man who came to see the old man that day." Xie Xu said slowly.

Hearing this, Ye Qinglin blinked her eyes, with a worried look on her face: "Then the old man is in danger, and that bag..."

"Maybe the old man has a way to get out. We are exiled prisoners and cannot help him. But the old man chose to hand the bag to us. He must have found out our identities. Maybe we will meet in Yongcheng, Cangzhou."

Ye Qinglin hummed softly, thinking that this was possible.

As they talked, the two started talking about Xie Xu's master.

"We have been waiting in Qinghua Town for more than a day, but Master has not shown up. Could it be that Master has not received your message?" Ye Qinglin asked suspiciously.

Xie Xu pursed his thin lips into a line, his stern face sank slightly, and he spoke quietly: "With Master's personality, he would definitely come here as soon as he received my message. If he didn't come, he might have encountered something, and it would be quite tricky."

Ye Qinglin didn't say anything, but believed what Xie Xu said.

"Alin, judging by the progress of the exile team, it is estimated that they will return to Huilin Town the day after tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, I will trouble you to go to a noodle shop to ask."

"Okay." Ye Qinglin nodded in response.

Although Liu Yueshi gave some self-defense powder, Ye Qinglin felt that it would be more secure if Xie Xu's master was around.

On the other side, the one-eyed old man stretched his neck to look at the figures of the Xie family.

The sturdy man in the car saw it and snorted disdainfully: "Old man, are you still waiting for someone to save you? Don't dream, no one will save you.

By the way, what you just saw were exiled prisoners. The ones walking at the end of the team were members of the Xie family from the Wuning Marquis’ Mansion. The one lying on the cart was the former Wuning Marquis Xie Xu, who has now become a waste.

You want the Xie family to come and save you? Forget it. They are in a difficult situation now, so how can they care about you? "

The one-eyed old man silently lowered the curtain, leaned against the carriage, and slowly closed his eyes.

He had already handed over the late emperor's decree of succession to the Xie family and did not violate the late emperor's instructions.

This time when he went to the capital, it didn’t matter whether he was dead or alive. Even if he died, he was not afraid.

Because the decree of succession is in the hands of the Xie family, when they open it that day they will discover the secret inside.

Thinking of this, the one-eyed old man raised his lips slightly and felt relieved.

In order to hurry up on the journey, Li Dali only gave everyone three incense sticks of time to rest at noon, and then continued on his journey.

The sun is going down.

They stayed overnight in the woods.

Li Dali waved his hand and asked people to go to the woods to find food.

After a while, a wolf howl was heard, which frightened the escorts.

The last wolf attack and the deaths of Hetian Erhai and others are still fresh in my mind.

Especially Liu Zi, he saw with his own eyes Tian Erhai and others being torn to death by wolves.

"Boss, there are wolves. Could it be the same group from last time?" Liu Zi panicked.

Li Dali was also panicked. The last experience was deeply engraved in his bones and gave him nightmares for several days.

"The wolf howling is so far away, it must be on the other side of the mountain."

Liu Zi was terrified: "But...Boss, what if the wolves come over here?"

Li Dali was also worried, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the Xie family.

Liu Zi caught a glimpse of Li Dali's eyes and understood instantly. He approached Li Dali and asked cautiously, "What if we throw down the Xie family as bait?"

Li Dali said nothing and glanced at Liu Zi.

Liu Zi understood what Li Dali meant, and continued to speak along his lines: "Anyway, the number of people exiled by His Majesty is not that large. His Majesty will definitely not blame us for the death of the Xie family.

As for Cangzhou Yongcheng, we don't have to worry about it. The officials there won't care about it at all. There are so many exiled prisoners every year, how can they care about it? "
