Quick Wear: To get home quickly, do the task

Just for this reason, Yuan Feng is willing to coax Zheng Changying every day.

The growth of the little Void Beast has reached a bottleneck. No matter how hard it tries to absorb resentment, there is no change. Although Xiaoxu didn't say anything, Yuan Feng could see the anxiety in its eyes.

The time point at this time was the second day of the Zheng family's exile.

If he had come a few days earlier, he could have avoided the fate of exile.

It should be said that the Fourth Prince intended to rebel, and he deserved to be exposed and imprisoned. It was also normal for Zheng Changying, as the Fourth Prince's consort, to be implicated and imprisoned as well.

The original owner's family was accused of collaborating with the enemy, and of course they were wrongly accused. But it's not like there were no signs at all.

The Fourth Prince had long secretly wanted the Zheng family to join him, otherwise he would not have planned to make Zheng Changying his principal wife.

Yes, Zheng Changying was plotted against.

As the general who defends the country and holds military power, how could Zheng Shizhong allow his eldest daughter to marry the prince?

After Zheng Shizhong's eldest daughter got married, he also told his family to try not to have too close contact with the prince's mansion. His family knew the seriousness of the matter, and Zheng Changying had no objection to this.

But the Fourth Prince couldn't even get Zheng Shizhong on board with the position of principal wife, so how could he be willing to accept this?

So when he accompanied Zheng Changying back to her parents' home, he placed a letter of treason in Zheng Shizhong's study.

Zheng Shizhong is not at home all year round. None of the men in the Zheng family likes to read. This study is more of a decoration. The only one who often comes to the study is the cleaning boy, but unfortunately he is illiterate.

So no one really noticed this extra letter.

The Fourth Prince originally planned to use this letter to force Zheng Shizhong to take action when he needed to force the emperor to abdicate, and if he did not agree, he would drag the entire Zheng family into the water.

But no one expected that before the Fourth Prince was ready to force the emperor to abdicate, his intention to usurp the throne was discovered by the Crown Prince's men, and the evidence was solid.

After the Fourth Prince was imprisoned, he still hoped that Zheng Shizhong could speak a few words for his son-in-law, so he did not reveal the matter of the letter.

The accident happened when the Minister of Revenue came to visit the Zheng family.

Zheng Shizhong himself was away from the capital for most of the year, and there was no mistress in the mansion who could go out. He had been counting on the eldest young lady, but the eldest young lady had only been in charge of the household for half a year and had already caused a lot of jokes.

In desperation, Old Madam Xiao had to continue to manage the household.

The old lady was already old, and managing the affairs of the mansion was already very tiring. She was really unable to socialize among the various mansions and the backyards. Besides, it was not appropriate in terms of seniority.

The eldest daughter was imprisoned. Although the Zheng family was not implicated, it was impossible for Zheng Shizhong, as a father, to say that he was not worried at all, but he could not say a word about the royal family's affairs.

Not only was he worried about his eldest daughter, but his youngest daughter was about to marry into the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Zheng Shizhong was also worried about what his in-laws would think at this critical juncture.

In order to show how much he valued his youngest daughter, he specially invited the Minister of Revenue to his study to appreciate an ancient painting he had acquired earlier.

The Minister of Revenue was a scholar, and Zheng Shizhong's move was intended to please him, but he did not expect that the Minister of Revenue would accidentally discover the letter.

After discovering the letter, the Minister of Revenue did not make it public, but took the letter directly to the emperor to report it.

The emperor trusted the Zheng family. Even though the evidence was conclusive, he felt that it was unreasonable.

What was Zheng Shizhong's intention in collaborating with the enemy?

All the Zheng family members, young and old, are in the capital. Not only is Zheng Shizhong in a high position and powerful, but several generations of his Zheng family, including his own father, died in the northern border. To put it bluntly, both sides have long since developed a real hatred for each other, as you killed my father and I killed your grandfather.

Moreover, he claimed that he was not a tyrant. When Zheng Shizhong was fighting outside, he never did things like withholding military pay or sending people who knew nothing to supervise the army.

The emperor believed that he and Zheng Shizhong were a good match for each other, but now the evidence is here... and it was his in-laws who reported it, so he can't ignore it.

In the end, he was sentenced to confiscation of property and exile.

However, the emperor had other plans. He was old now, and in a few years at most, when the prince ascended the throne, he would show mercy and let them come back.

In the life in which Zheng Changying was not reincarnated, the Zheng family also had this problem. After the prince ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty, and Zheng Shizhong's family was still valued after they returned.

However, in that life, Zheng Changying was tortured to death while in confinement.

......

As the emperor was willing to let the situation go, he originally planned to exile only the three male members of the Zheng family, father and son. The old lady and her three-year-old granddaughter were planned to be confined to a farm in the capital, while the fifteen-year-old original owner could only enter the Jiaofangsi.

It was the old lady who pleaded for mercy, preferring to have the whole family exiled rather than let the original owner go to the Jiaofangsi. That's why five adults and a child were exiled together.

With the help of her mother's family, the eldest young lady divorced Zheng Changqi as early as when Zheng Jia was imprisoned.

The four yamen runners who were escorting the suspect were led by a man named Wang. He had a younger brother who had served as a soldier under Zheng Shizhong and respected Zheng Shizhong very much. Captain Wang also tried his best to help him along the way.

All the shackles, bracelets, and anklets that could be removed from everyone were taken off, leaving only the wooden shackles around the necks of the three adult men.

In this way, they can sell the goods to the Zheng family at the same time without delaying their daily journey. There is also a time limit for the yamen runners to send people to the place of exile and then return.

"Rest for a while and eat some dry food, then continue your journey in the afternoon."

Following Captain Wang's order, everyone stopped.

It is the hottest summer day now, and even the yamen runners can't stand the scorching sun at noon.

Yuan Feng took the old lady and Zheng Xiaobao to find a shady place on the side of the road, and the original owner's father and brother also sat over.

He took the package from Zheng Shizhong's back, opened it, took out two meat patties and gave them to grandmother and Xiaobao first, "Grandma, Xiaobao, eat some first." Then he gave them to Zheng's father and son.

The exile happened suddenly, without any prior warning, and the family had no time to prepare anything.

The Zheng family was kind enough to return the indentures of all their servants when they were exiled, so that they wouldn't be exiled with him. The food in the packages was prepared by the grateful servants.

"Changfeng, Xiaobao, you should eat more. Life on the road of exile is completely different from life at home. You need to be full to have the strength to walk. Shizhong, you, Changqi and Changlin should also eat more." Xiao, who was speaking, looked somewhat worried.

What she didn't say was that the meat pie could only be eaten for two days.

The servants still had some life experience. The weather was too hot, so not only could meat patties, but even white flour pancakes could not be kept. So they prepared more coarse flour pancakes that were difficult to bite, and the coarse flour pancakes could be kept for a few more days.

Looking at the three or four-year-old child in front of me, and a little girl who had just come of age, I didn't say these truths out loud.

She was not worried about the three men in the family. Needless to say, her son and Changlin had been on the battlefield all the time. Even Changqi had been to the battlefield and had suffered a lot.

The two girls were different. They were raised in pampered condition since birth. The distance between the capital and the exile place in the southwest was more than 2,000 miles, and it was unknown whether they could survive until then.
