After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 531 Silencing
On the day when these exiled prisoners were escorted out of Chang'an, Haitang and her brother Hai Jiao ran out of the city to watch on the pretext of practicing riding skills.

From a distance on the high slope, they saw the huge group of people walking farther and farther northwest along the avenue, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

If they hadn't seen the number of people in this team with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that the Sun family had deployed so many people just around Chang'an. When Du Boqin was arrested, none of these people were exposed, which shows how deeply they hide!

Hai Jiao whispered: "In the previous life, the Sun family always calculated accurately when plotting against the Zhou family. It may not all be the result of Du Boqin and a few dead soldiers who came from the capital. I'm afraid these people are also involved! The Zhou family has nothing to do with it. I didn't pay attention to the fact that there were so many spies from the Sun family appearing under my nose, no wonder they kept harming their descendants!"

Haitang thought for a while: "Didn't you say that the Sun family has purchased a large amount of property in Lintong County? It's not surprising that these people can be hidden. The local officials have all been managed by the Sun family, and no traces have been exposed. The Zhou family has How could they be suspicious? But even though the Sun family had put so much effort into buying property and arranging people, they couldn't get anything good in their previous life. At most, after the Sun family fell, a few more clan members could escape smoothly. That's all. But even if they escape the court's arrest, they can't continue to live openly and with their original identities. No matter if they change their names or leave their hometown, the Sun family will no longer be glorious. "

Hai Jiao sneered: "Even so, it's too cheap for them to be able to save so many lives! When the Sun family is proud, do you think his family will be honest? I don't know how many bullying and fish-meat-town activities they have done in private. Woolen cloth!"

He is a Jinyiwei secret agent, and he was ordered to keep an eye on Mr. Sun Ge's gang members, so he naturally knows something about these things. Of course Haitang would not refute him, and comforted him: "In the last life, it was the last life. In this life, their family will never be able to live so easily. Such a large number of people were sent to Liubian, and the industries in Lintong County were also confiscated by the officials. Even if the Sun family is not injured, it will definitely be in pain for a while. Without these people, and without Du Boqin and the two nuns from the Tang family to act as internal agents, they will not be able to do anything in Chang'an! "

Hai Jiao thought about it and said with a smile: "This is the right thing to do! When you are the elder of the court, you are a dignified high-ranking official, and you have the support of the emperor's concubine. It's not like you don't have real power in your hands. If you want to fight, you should fight with others openly! Go to the guards! It is really beneath the status of a meritorious general of a country to try to harm his descendants! How can such a person be allowed to remain in a powerful position? If he and his family continue to act arrogantly, the country and the country will be destroyed. It’s in the hands of their surname Sun!”

Hai Jiao secretly made up his mind and must find a way to spread more "slander" around his cousin Xie Wenzai so that he could convince the Zhenguo government. This time, he must bite the Sun family. It's rare to catch the Sun family, how can we let them get through easily? !

What's more, now the Zhou family has decided to strive for the merit of serving the dragon again and help the eighth prince ascend to the throne. This was also the emperor's intention. For this reason, the emperor was able to give the third wife of the Zhou family a lighter sentence in Mrs. Ma's case. In this case, how could the Zhou family not fight back against the Sun family? How about restraining Mr. Sun Ge to prevent him from continuing to interfere with the ownership of the reserve? !
The team of exiled prisoners walked far away. Haitang watched their figures gradually disappear at the end of the road, and then looked away: "There are quite a lot of soldiers escorting the prisoners. Are you trying to prevent them from escaping halfway?"

Hai Jiao came back to his senses and sneered: "Not only do we have to prevent them from escaping, we may also have to silence them along the way!"

Haitang blinked and turned to look at his brother.

Hai Jiao said calmly: "You don't go out much on weekdays, and you haven't been to Dusi Yamen recently, so you didn't recognize it, right? Although half of the officers and soldiers escorting this group of prisoners were under the command of Dusi in Shaanxi, the other half were from Beijing. They were the group of people who came with Guard Lin. Although a few of them followed Guard Lin out of the city, the rest were stationed at Dusi Yamen. It was agreed that Dusi would not need to assign errands to them. They would only listen to the instructions of Ma Shangyi and Guard Lin, and they were originally prepared to serve as messengers for Xiao Jin and the palace. If there was no reason, who would entrust them with the task of escorting the prisoners to the border and they would go on their way obediently? Is it true that these two thousand miles are easy to travel, are they going to enjoy the scenery at the border?" Haitang suddenly realized: "Then they will be silenced halfway, or will they go to the border town..."

"Who knows?" Hai Jiao shrugged and did not elaborate. However, he still had some guesses in his mind.

Among the officers and soldiers escorting the exiled prisoners, half of them were from Chang'an. I heard that they were all new recruits who were going to be assigned to various guard stations and Qianhu Stations in the northwest. Only a few veterans were sent by Tu Rong. After escorting the prisoners, , He wanted to return to Chang'an to recover his life. The new recruits followed the team escorting the prisoners so that they could take care of them on the way. They would leave the team halfway and go to the guard station where they would serve. When all the new recruits left the team, apart from the prisoners, there were only soldiers and horses from Beijing and Tu Rong's people left in the team. It would be much easier for them to silence the prisoner.

Along the way, there are mostly desert areas that are sparsely populated. That group of prisoners didn't know the way, so they just took the people to the ravines that deviated from the official road. After walking thousands of miles, they were tired and weak. The officers and soldiers surrounded the people and killed them as they wanted. Even the corpse, after ten days and a half, there may not be much left. The surrounding beasts will be taken care of.

Even if someone is extremely skilled and lucky, and is lucky enough to escape with his life under the heavy siege of officers and soldiers, where can he escape to? Even water is hard to find in the wilderness, and wild animals can be encountered at any time. Even if you escape to a populated place, it will either be a den for horse thieves or sand bandits, or a guard station where officers and soldiers are stationed. The former will not allow people with unknown origins to live, while the latter will only tie up fugitives and report them to the police. They are both dead ends.

This group of people was destined to die on the road to exile.

Their cases were tried in secret, and they avoided people when they left the city. As long as Tu Rong remained silent and the death row camp in the border town cooperated, who would care about their lives?
The Sun family's minions in the northwest area are always beaten by everyone, and no one will pity them.

Haijiao thought and sneered. There was no need for him to elaborate on such a bloody and cruel thing to his little sister. No matter how smart the little sister is, she is still a girl and young, so there is really no need to let her know too much. What should I do if I am scared?
Haitang had no intention of asking further questions. She had lived in the palace for so long in her previous life and knew that some things should not be studied in detail. She was only thinking about one other thing: "It seems that the emperor is eager to silence the Sun family's minions. I feel that his treatment is a little too harsh. Does this mean that his attitude towards the Sun family has changed a lot?" big change?"

Hai Jiao thought for a while: "I also think, why do a group of small minions have to kill them all like this? It is enough to send people to the death row camp in the border town, but they have to kill them halfway... I guess the Sun family has acted too outrageously in recent years, the emperor He couldn't bear it any longer. He might be thinking about Mr. Sun's achievements and Concubine Sun's favor in the past, and he was reluctant to deal harshly with the Sun family, but what else did he have to worry about? I’m afraid the Sun family won’t feel sorry for me.”

Haitang raised her eyebrows: "If that's the case, the Sun family has now been confirmed to have colluded with Mrs. Ma, and used her connections to collect a large amount of kerosene, which is suspected to be related to the Kunning Palace fire. Will the emperor take the opportunity to target the Sun family? Making trouble? And what method does the Sun family plan to use to get rid of this trouble? "
