You are not exile, you are clearly traveling!

Chapter 107 Do Bad Things With Kindness

In the exile team, because there is no harassment from Captain Sun, Chen Xue and others no longer have to worry about this and that, and they can enjoy life well.

In particular, because there are guards around, Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry about someone breaking in directly, opening the car curtain and finding that they are not there.

Moreover, because Magistrate Xu sent a cart of supplies, they could eat well openly.

Of course, wealth should not be revealed in vain.

They still chose to hide in the space to eat. Of course, the servants ate outside, and the food they ate was naturally given by the magistrate Xu.

In fact, when Chen Xue was in the county town, she packed a lot of street snacks.

Because the space has the ability to preserve freshness, even the food you just bought will not go bad after being stored for many days, and it will still be fresh.

So she bought a lot of food.

Although he spent a lot of money, he did not lose money. Before leaving, General Pingwei and Magistrate Xu gave him a lot of money.

Master Chen refused, but what does it have to do with her, Chen Xue.

Anyway, she accepts everyone who comes. After all, who doesn’t know that her father is “penniless”.

.........

"Each person has only one bowl of porridge and one steamed bun!"

During lunch time, the yamen officer was distributing lunch to everyone, but the yamen officer who was making porridge suddenly stared at the prisoner in front of him.

"You seem to have been beaten just now!"

A trace of panic flashed across the prisoner's face, but he still said calmly, "I didn't, I just got here."

The yamen officer stared at him, "It's impossible, my memory is not that bad!"

"I really didn't." The prisoner said with a sad face, "My lord, are you mistaken? I really just came here."

"Haha!" The officer sneered, "Although you have changed your clothes, you haven't changed your shoes, and the smell on your body cannot be deceiving."

"I……"

The prisoner's face suddenly became ugly, and then he looked at everyone and shouted, "Everyone, please help me testify. These government officials don't want to give them food, but they still frame people..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several men beside him agreed, "That's right, we'll ask General Pingwei and Magistrate Xu to make the decision!"

"you……"

The new yamen officer's face suddenly became very ugly, but he was different from veterans like Captain Sun. It was his first time as a yamen officer in the exile team, and his personality was not that bad.

Therefore, when faced with this situation, although he was angry, he did not take out his whip and yell at them, and he did not know how to deal with it for a while.

After all, they had just come here. If they didn't do well and the county magistrate or General Pingwei found out, wouldn't it be...

"what happened!"

Xu Tian noticed the movement here and hurried over. The prisoner's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Tian, ​​and then he quickly ran over and complained to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian looked at the yamen servant, who hurriedly explained, "I clearly saw him and got a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and now he's running here again..."

"Forget it!" Xu Tian glanced at the prisoner and sighed, "This matter ends here."

Although a bowl of porridge contains a lot of rice, it is still porridge and is not very filling. It is okay to let the prisoner eat more.

Seeing this, the prisoner quickly thanked Xu Tian and ran away quickly.

But the yamen officer frowned and came to Xu Tian's side, "Captain, if everyone is like him, then our food will not be able to last for a few days..."

"Yes." The old government officer next to him also spoke up. He was the one who was in the exile team at the beginning. "There are regulations on the amount of food given to them. If the food is eaten, it will be difficult to get replenishment!"

In fact, the imperial court did not really stipulate the amount of food to be fed to the exiled prisoners, but there was a rigid rule, which was basically a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.

Like Xu Tian asked them to make the rice thicker in their porridge, that's already the case, if...

"Captain, it's not a good thing if they eat too much. What if they start another riot?"

Xu Tian interrupted them, "What if they starve to death?"

How could they starve to death? The old yamen officer complained in his heart. In the past, the prisoners were given less food, and even the chaff and stone cakes did not starve them to death.

However, now that Xu Tian is the captain, how can he dare to disobey Xu Tian's orders.

…………

After the prisoner left, the prisoners who had agreed with him quickly followed him, and they quickly got together.

"Sure enough!"

The prisoner couldn't help but said excitedly that they had known Xu Tian's character for a long time, and these days they had also confirmed that the characters of other government officials were completely different from the previous ones.

Therefore, they can completely bully these government officials.

Moreover, even if the captain Xu Tian knew about it, he would favor them, so they changed their clothes and bought more food.

"Then let's take turns to dress up and go tomorrow. Two bowls of porridge will fill us up, and we can still save two steamed buns."

"Yes."

"While these government officials are not easy to bully yet, let's get some more food."

"But... I'm just worried that other prisoners will report us if they see us like this..."

"What are you afraid of!"

One man said with an indifferent expression, "At worst, we can bring them into the group. There are many of us and it will be a good thing for us to become stronger."

"Yes, I have discovered that as long as we unite, others will not dare to bully us, even those government officials... If they want to touch us, they will have to think carefully when the time comes..."

If Captain Sun was still in power, they would naturally not dare to do this, but now it is Xu Tian, ​​and they know Xu Tian's character very well.

He has a good attitude towards prisoners and will favor them as long as there is nothing special.

Isn't it illegal for them to take more food? Xu Tian didn't say anything, so they naturally became more courageous.

…………

Xu Tian didn't know that his moment of weakness led to a big mistake, and the prisoners began to form gangs.

Moreover, in order to allow the prisoners to eat better, Xu Tian also allowed them to be free. That is, on the way to exile, as long as they did not escape, they could enter the woods to pick wild vegetables or catch fish in the river.

You can even go hunting in the woods at noon or evening. As long as they don't run away, you can feed yourself whatever you want.

This move was of course approved by the prisoners, but it also caused trouble for the government officials.

They had to patrol the woods during lunch and evening, and then do daily head counts to make sure the prisoners hadn't escaped.

Fortunately, General Pingwei was worried that they would not be able to control the prisoners with too few people, so he arranged more yamen for them.

One yamen officer was in charge of four or five prisoners, and there were fifty or sixty yamen officers, which was already the largest number of yamen officers in the exile team in recent years.

However, the prisoners have gained freedom and their ambitions have grown. From barely living to being well fed, these prisoners now plan to live a better life.

Of course, they didn't think about competing with the Chen family.

Although I couldn't see Chen Xue and the others eating anything good, the Chen family's servants all ate better than them.

They say it is impossible not to be envious. Without a backer, they can only rely on themselves.

As a result, many prisoners formed gangs, and when they found out someone had hunted prey, they began to use coercion and inducement to snatch their prey.

It was okay at first, but later on it even started to be deadly.
