A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Madam Xie never expected that there would still be people who cared about the Xie family and believed that the Xie family had been wronged.

She was over sixty years old, and her children and grandchildren had been passing away one after another; her health was no longer robust.

Because of her special status, the emperor granted her a pardon and allowed her to be exiled without any shackles.

With her daughter-in-law's help, she slowly stood up, her eyes already red as she looked at the ordinary people kneeling on the ground below.

Although her hair was disheveled and her clothes were dirty, her aura as the Duchess remained undiminished.

She stood there, seemingly the pillar of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

"On behalf of the Xie family, I thank you all for believing in the loyalty and bravery of my Xie family!" The old lady Xie bowed deeply to the people in front of her, her momentum undiminished.

Upon seeing Madam Xie, the old woman with white hair slowly rose and placed a basket full of eggs that she had brought about a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) in front of the old lady.

"Madam, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find it offensive and please accept it."

Other people also placed the various supplies they had brought on the ground.

There is wheat flour, rice, soybeans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pork, and so on...

Madam Xie was worried about the eldest sister and wanted to help her, but she was already in poor health and had been forcing herself to stay upright.

After spending two days in the dark and damp cell, her old leg injury flared up again.

She has been able to persevere until now entirely thanks to her daughter-in-law's secret support.

She had been standing there for a short time, and her legs had started to tremble. She almost fell as soon as she took a step.

Fortunately, someone helped him up, so he didn't lose face in front of the people.

The old woman saw that Madam Xie had almost fallen. She waved to the old lady repeatedly and said in a trembling voice, "Madam General, please take care! I won't bother you any longer." Then she wiped away her tears and turned to leave, leaving the old lady with plenty of dignity.

Soon, all the common people left the pavilion, looking back repeatedly as they were driven away by the yamen runners.

The area outside the pavilion was still bustling with activity.

Some family members came to deliver supplies, some severed ties with relatives in person, and some didn't even show up, only sending a letter of severance...

A somber atmosphere enveloped the entire area outside the pavilion.

Relatives come quickly, but leave even faster.

Seeing that no one else would come, the bailiffs immediately herded all the prisoners into one spot.

"Stay where you are and don't move around. We'll set off in half an hour." After saying this, the constable returned to his position to prepare for lunch.

Lunch for the Su and Shen families has been prepared.

I made fragrant white rice for lunch.

Two servings of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, one serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and braised pork belly and stir-fried pork tenderloin with wood ear mushrooms, all served with rice porridge.

The value of this meal alone was several times greater than the porridge and steamed buns I ate every day before entering the capital.

The overpowering fragrance is carried everywhere by the wind.

Most of the exiles could smell it.

The people in the exile group were all pampered officials who had eaten much better food than the Su family.

But they haven't had a proper meal in the past two days in prison.

Some family members brought them dry food, but they didn't have a pot to cook hot food, so they could only eat it dry.

Some prisoners were even unilaterally cut off from their families and had no food at all.

The irresistible aroma wafting from here makes me think this must be the most delicious food in the world.

Many people glared resentfully at the Su family's group, eager to snatch all the food.

Even the meals of the yamen runners next door weren't as good as those at the Su family's house.

The yamen runners' meals consisted of mixed grain steamed buns with a large pot of stew, which also contained a fair amount of meat.

They were enjoying their own food when they smelled the delicious aroma from next door, and suddenly their own food didn't taste as good anymore.

The leader of the yamen runners was Xue Bufan, the General of the Imperial Guard.

He was in charge of the constables responsible for the exile procession.

Of all the yamen runners, only he was wearing the bright golden armor of the Golden Guard, which made him look imposing.

Xue Bufan raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Gangzi, the yamen runner opposite him.

Liu Gangzi immediately understood Xue Bufan's meaning and bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go get you some more dishes right away."

After saying that, he put down the steamed bun in his hand and casually wiped his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, he led a dozen or so constables and walked imposingly toward the neighboring house.

Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai kept a wary eye on the yamen runners.

With so many yamen runners, it's possible that some might dislike them and try to take advantage of them.

Unexpectedly.

The dish had just been cooked when a group of yamen runners strode menacingly toward them.

Not only Shen Shuli and her father saw it, but most of the Su and Shen families also saw it.

Su Ding'an glanced at Su Yunhai, then leaned closer and whispered, "Dad, are these people here to cause trouble?"

Su Yunhai knew that his third brother was quick-witted and had been performing reasonably well recently, so he was worth giving him a few pointers.

He whispered, "I don't know. Let's see what their purpose is. If it's something trivial, we don't need to offend them."

He didn't mention that his family would definitely have to deal with these yamen runners along the way, since if they wanted to secretly help Mu Wanjun, they would definitely have to follow the exile procession all the way.

In any case, it's essential to maintain a good relationship with these yamen runners.

but.

The one who commands these yamen runners is none other than the Golden Guard!

The Su family must be on the blacklist of the entire Jinwuwei system, and the Jinwuwei will inevitably find excuses to make things difficult for the Su family.

in this era.

A person in a position of power wants to deal with an ordinary citizen who has no background or connections.

Even if they are peasants from afar, they have tens of thousands of ways to get away with it and won't be held accountable afterwards.

Su Ding'an seemed to understand but not quite, and asked in confusion, "We're not under their jurisdiction, so how can they possibly have authority over us?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunlin, who was standing nearby, patted Su Ding'an's head hard with his big hand and grinned as he explained to his nephew.

"You don't understand. Although we are just passing through, if these yamen runners really have any designs on us, they can easily frame us for crimes like trying to break prisoners. We would definitely be doomed. So, it's best if we don't offend them."

Su Ding'an instantly understood, and the two families of Su Chang'an and Su Ping'an beside him also listened.

They looked at the constables with a hint of unease in their eyes.

Before the constables even approached, Su Yunhai stood up early, greeting them with a fawning smile.

"Greetings to Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here?" Su Yunhai asked humbly.

He had no choice but to back down at this point.

There were more than 300 yamen runners, and many demons and monsters with different intentions were hidden among them.

Their team is full of lowly servants; if they offend these constables, who knows what will happen to them?

Seeing that these people were somewhat sensible, Liu Gangzi straightened his back even more.

"Fatty, get these two meat dishes for us to try. Here's your tip."

Liu Gangzi threw a handful of copper coins at Su Yunhai, scattering them all over the ground.

Su Yunhai's anger surged, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

The anger in the hearts of the Su and Shen families was instantly ignited when they saw this scene.
