Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

On that day, the exile team received no food at noon or in the evening, except for two steamed buns in the morning.

Because the prisoner was exhausted, he failed to reach the post station tonight and had to sleep in the wilderness for another night.

Because the exiled prisoners did not receive any food, Gu Li did not want to cook anything too conspicuous, lest he attract hatred and cause trouble for Jiang Yining. He simply steamed the remaining thirty or so scallion pancakes with water, and the family ate a hot meal.

Even if Gu Li wants to keep a low profile, he can only take care of himself and cannot control others.

Among the exiled team this time, the people from Prince Chen's Mansion, who had been quiet the entire time, had no contact with Shi Henian since the beginning of the exile.

But tonight, he found Shi Henian.

There were only twenty servants in Prince Chen's Mansion who were arranged to be exiled, and ten of them came to Shi Henian tonight.

They all stood in front of Shi Henian, bowed and respectfully called out, "Master."

Looking at the completely unfamiliar face in front of him, Shi Henian frowned slightly.

The original owner had a good memory, and he was very sure that he did not know the people in front of him, at least he did not find anyone familiar in his memory.

"I am no longer of that status. Now my property has been confiscated and I have been exiled. You don't have to follow me." Shi Henian said.

To be honest, he didn't trust other people's men.

Or someone who has never appeared in my memory.

"Master!" Shi Henian's words made the ten people in front of him kneel down in unison: "We are loyal to the master, not to any status."

Seeing that these people were determined to stick with him, and noticing that Wang Dashan looked over from time to time because the prisoner ran to his side, Shi Henian was not sure how many of these people he could trust, and said indifferently: "I have nothing to protect you now, so disperse."

Seeing Shi Henian's cold attitude, the ten people were about to say something else when they heard the sound of a carriage approaching.

Three carriages came galloping over, instantly attracting the attention of the exiled prisoners.

Apparently, Gu Li's desire to keep a low profile is simply not working.

"Master, I am late." Five people got off three carriages. They were all dressed in black and looked to be around twenty years old.

He walked quickly to Shi Henian, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

The faces of the five people who came this time matched the ones in Shi Henian's memory.

The five of them were Shi Henian's original bodyguards, namely Xin Bai, Sen Ze, Miao Shuo, Yan Jun and Yao Kai.

Shi Henian matched the faces and names of these five people one by one, and his expression almost couldn't hold back.

Is this gold, wood, water, fire and earth?

It's still one against another, and they form a circle.

Knowing from his memory that these names were chosen by the original owners themselves, Shi Henian was speechless for a moment.

"Why are you here?" Shi Henian asked puzzledly.

Logically speaking, these five people were his bodyguards and were convicted of the crime.

Either exile or selling out.

Since they were not in the exile team, they were obviously betrayed.

"Master, after the five of us were sold, that person returned the indentures." Xin Bai, the most stable of the five, spoke first, and at the same time took out five indentures and handed them to Shi Henian: "Thinking of the master's suffering, the subordinates hurried over."

Shi Henian checked the indenture and found that there was indeed no problem.

Moreover, in the original owner's memory, these five people were loyal to him.

But what he was more curious about right now was who bought Xinbai and the other four, and was so kind as to return the indentures to them and set them free.

"Do you know who that person is?" Shi Henian asked.

Xin Bai shook his head truthfully: "None of us have ever seen the buyer. The matter of buying us and giving us the indenture was handled by a servant."

"I am a commoner now. Since you have regained your freedom, you don't have to follow me anymore." Shi Henian said as he returned the indenture contract.
