Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Ye Qingyun and his family symbolically drank some tea and porridge and then stopped.

Ye Qingyun even started chatting with Li Tiezhu.

"Are you going to Zhuhai County?"

Li Tiezhu frowned, but still pointed the way for Ye Fei and the others: "Follow this road, and you will see the official road in half an hour."

"Just keep walking along the official road in that direction, and you'll reach Zhuhai County in two more hours."

Ye Fei did not ignore Li Tiezhu's frown just now, and Ye Qingyun naturally did not ignore it either.

He continued to ask Li Tiezhu: "Why did you frown when you mentioned Zhuhai County just now? Is there something wrong?"

Li Tiezhu sighed: "Actually there is nothing wrong, it's just that Zhuhai County has suddenly become a little strange recently."

"It seems to be saying that something big happened in the court."

Ye Qingyun and Ye Fei looked at each other and asked, "Is this a disaster that has occurred in various places?"

"No." Li Tiezhu shook his head: "Although I live in the mountains, I also heard about the disasters in various places when I went to Zhuhai County."

“But we have not been affected.”

"Anyway, the inspections in and out of Zhuhai County have become more frequent and stricter than before. Several waves of people have come during this period, and the atmosphere is very tense."

"From what people in the teahouse are saying, this must be a major incident at the imperial court."

"But compared to other places, there hasn't been any major chaos in Zhuhai County yet. If you go there, just be careful."

"You are also people in trouble anyway, so I don't think those people with ulterior motives would target you."

Ye Fei extracted some important information from Li Tiezhu's words, but she remained silent and did not interrupt.

After leaving Li Tiezhu's house, Ye Qingyun looked unhappy: "Fei'er, what do you think?"

“Why do I feel…”

Ye Qingyun didn't dare to say it out loud, but pointed to the sky: "What's the problem?"

Ye Fei was not so shy.

She said bluntly: "The most likely possibility is that the old emperor is about to die, and now those princes and ministers are busy fighting for power."

"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words..." Ye Qingyun was so scared that he wanted to cover Ye Fei's mouth:

"Fei'er, you can't say such things."

"If someone heard this, wouldn't there be a huge uproar?"

His eyes moved around the skinny dog ​​and skinny cat beside him, scaring them into expressing their loyalty one after another:

"Master, young lady, don't worry, we didn't hear anything."

"We are just beggars. If the master and the girl hadn't been willing to take us in, we would have died long ago."

"Besides, who would believe the words of two beggars?"

Both the skinny dog ​​and the skinny cat were so scared that their scalps tingled.

Why let them hear such words?

They wish they could go deaf...

They have always known that Ye Fei is not an ordinary woman, she is brave and capable.

But they never expected that Ye Fei would dare to say such words.

"Actually, we were just thinking about Li Tiezhu's family. When we left, we left them a small piece of silver."

"That silver was saved when we were beggars in Yuecheng."

"We were both wondering if doing this would cause trouble for the girl, so we were a little distracted."

Thin Cat explained while observing Ye Fei's reaction.

Although he had been with Ye Fei's family for some time, after hearing such outrageous words today, he was really worried that he would be killed to silence him.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

How could Ye Fei not see what the skinny cat and the skinny dog ​​were thinking?

"Thank you girl, thank you girl."

"Don't worry, young lady. Although we were beggars in the past, we are still loyal people."

"The girl has done us a favor, and we are willing to spend our whole lives repaying her kindness."

The skinny dog ​​and the skinny cat breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I managed to save my life.

.........

After reaching the official road, Ye Fei finally stopped to rest at Ye Qingyun's suggestion.

The skinny dog ​​and the skinny cat were more active and attentive than before. One of them stayed behind to look after the luggage and wait for instructions from Ye Fei's family, while the other went ahead to explore the way.

"Dad, do you have something to say?"

Ye Fei glanced at the thin cat not far away and looked at Ye Qingyun with some confusion.

It seemed that after talking with Li Tiezhu, Ye Qingyun became a little absent-minded.

Ye Qingyun sighed deeply: "Fei'er, do you know where this place is?"

"I know. Didn't Li Tiezhu just say that?"

"This is the territory of Zhuhai County."

"Then do you remember that we confiscated our property and exiled us five thousand miles away?"

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that this is where we are exiled?"

"No way, what a coincidence?"

"After such a big turn, we are still walking into a trap and delivering ourselves to the enemy?"

Ye Fei was speechless.

Lin Xue'e next to her was also waiting for Ye Qingyun's confirmation with an incredible look on her face.

Ye Qingyun looked at his wife and daughter and nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's here."

“When Li Tiezhu said this was Jinshazhou Zhuhai County, I remembered that this was where we were going to be exiled.”

"Since the incident with the exile team, we have been traveling freely on our own."

"Now that I suddenly remember my identity as an exile, it really seems like a lifetime ago."

"Master, do we have to... do we have to report to Zhuhai County?"

"Can't you just go?"

"Anyway, the exile team has long been dispersed, and most of the people are dead."

"As long as we don't reveal our identities, who would know or care about our origins?"

Lin Xue'e looked at Ye Qingyun eagerly.

"You're wrong. Someone will care."

"If we are just ordinary people in exile, we can naturally change our appearance and start a new life."

"But our family is not ordinary people. Someone will definitely come to track down our whereabouts."

"Besides, most of the exiled people are dead. Maybe someone will use this incident to make a fuss about it."

"All under heaven belongs to the king. Even if we don't report it now, we still need an identity to live in this world."

"We can't live in hiding forever."

"It's easy for us to create a fake identity for someone else, but it's very difficult to create a fake identity for ourselves."

Ye Qingyun explained patiently.

How could he want his family to be labeled as exiled criminals?

"Fei'er, Dad knows you are very capable."

Ye Qingyun looked at Ye Fei steadily: "But in this world, no matter how great a person's ability is, there are limits to what he can do."

Ye Fei understood.

Before, she had indeed thought about living in seclusion with Ye Qingyun and the others or getting a fake identity and living freely.

But now she knew that Ye Qingyun was unwilling.

Ye Qingyun is a man of this era. He hopes to live an upright life instead of hiding in fear for his entire life, fearing that one day he will be exposed and face punishment from the imperial power again.
