Chapter 115
During this period of time, even though she was protected by the guards of Zhizhou Mansion, Mu Qinghong had been worried, fearing that one day those officials would rush over and take her back to suffer further.

Now that she was back in Zhizhou Mansion, her grandfather's words of comfort made her feel at ease, and she began to eat comfortably with the fresh meat slices her mother put in the bowl.

Mrs. Zhang was still thinking about the conversation between her grandfather and grandson. She looked a little dazed and asked tentatively: "Hong'er, you said you met the chief official? Where did you meet him? They are now a what's the situation?"

"Mom, why are you asking this..." Mu Qinghong was still chewing pieces of meat in her mouth, glanced at her vaguely, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway...I came back safely, and my grandfather also said that the head official is not Don’t you dare to give him this face..."

Mrs. Zhang frowned, always feeling uneasy in her heart, and then asked: "But Hong'er, you are walking on a narrow path, how could you meet an official official by such a chance?"

"Mom, why are you so verbose!" Mu Qinghong seemed to be starving and was eating his meal, muttering impatiently, but he still replied: "I met their entire exile team! Dad saw me, You were still shouting there to attract the officials!"

Speaking of this, Mu Qinghong kicked her foot in annoyance and complained with a displeased face: "Mom, you are right, dad is not worth following us, he will only cause trouble!"

She drank a big sip of tea, which finally relieved her worries. Seeing her mother's worried look, she comforted her: "Mom, you don't have to worry... Now that my grandfather is here, we no longer have to worry about being caught by the officials." gone back!"

Compared with her youngest daughter's relaxation, Ms. Zhang couldn't feel so at ease. She looked at the full moon in the sky, suddenly remembered something, and sighed.

"Your grandfather actually hijacked the ship transporting the officers in order to save us. If this...if this matter is revealed, it will be a crime of beheading!"

Hearing this, Mu Qingshuang, who had been eating in silence, suddenly raised her eyes, with a calm expression, and retorted coldly: "It may not be for us."

"Shuang'er, how can you say that about your grandfather!" Mrs. Zhang scolded her, and her heart sank with this sentence.

The three of them were quiet again. The food on the table was cooked by the prefect's best chef. It tasted delicious and was just enough to satisfy the mother and daughter who had not yet eaten.

Mrs. Zhang had something on her mind, and the sorrow between her brows was lingering. Both of her daughters were unsatisfactory. The eldest daughter was cold and ruthless, and the younger daughter was petite and brainless. After all, they were not people she could rely on. .

It's just... Chao'er is not around now, but he is very filial, but mother and son are not of the same mind, and he doesn't know what kind of life he will live with his eldest brother.

Ms. Zhang missed her son who was somewhere and ate two more bowls of rice.

……

The deportation team got up early in the morning and started on their way as usual. The officials shook their whips and raised their voices to wake up the sleepy prisoners one by one.

The sky was still dark at this time, with only sporadic sunlight leaking from the horizon, and it wasn't even fully dawn yet.

The prisoners were full of complaints in their hearts, but they did not dare to express their resentment and offend the officials, lest they receive a vicious whip in vain.

The narrow mountain road was rugged, and officials were scattered around the prisoners, walking with lanterns.

Walking like this, you can hear "Ouch" screams from time to time. Someone tripped over the rocks on the ground and fell down.

Li Jiang looked at the prisoners who fell down and bruised their knees from time to time with a cold expression. He still waved the officers forward, but only allowed them to slow down a little.

They had to get to Tongzhou as soon as possible. He vaguely felt that there was something fishy about Mu Qinghong.The exile team walked non-stop until it was completely dark, and they saw the gate of Tongzhou in the distance.

Two big characters were written on the huge plaque: Tongzhou. The stone gate was slowly closing, and two guards were standing outside counting the last batch of people entering the city.

If they were a step later, they might have to sleep in the wild again tonight.

Li Jiang hurriedly sent Wang Xiaoer to take the token to discuss with the guards guarding the city gate. After all, a large group of them could not enter the city at the same time according to regulations.

Wang Xiaoer took the order and stepped forward with the square official badge. He only said hello to the two guards without even needing to waste any words.

The two guards looked at each other, nodded in agreement, waved their hands, and shouted: "Open the city gate!"

With a heavy muffled sound, the city gate that had been slowly closed reopened.

"Thank you brothers for this convenience."

Wang Xiaoer didn't expect that the Tongzhou guard was so easy to talk to, so he thanked him happily and returned to Tou'er happily.

Ruan He was standing not far away, and noticed with keen eyes that the guard who opened the door ran away in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.

She raised her eyebrows in confusion, feeling something strange in her heart, but she couldn't figure out the reason for it, so she had to suppress the weirdness in her heart first.

Their entire exile team entered Tongzhou City smoothly. They originally planned to find an inn to stay in and then go to Zhizhou Mansion tomorrow.

At this moment, as soon as Mu Zhengbai stepped into Tongzhou, his waist straightened up again, and he walked vigorously, as if Tongzhou was already his territory.

He straightened his back, and after the whole group entered Tongzhou City, he walked directly in front of Li Jiang.

"Mu Zhengbai, what are you going to do again!?" Wang Xiaoer was discussing something with his boss. When he turned around and saw Mu Zhengbai approaching with a smile on his face, his expression suddenly became fierce, he frowned and scolded.

During these days, Mu Zhengbai had been frightened to death by the whips in the hands of these officials. Now he met the fierce eyes and trembled with fear.

He also remembered that his father-in-law was the magistrate of Tongzhou, and he felt confident.

"Master Li, my father-in-law is the magistrate of Tongzhou. We have all come to Tongzhou, so we have to pay a visit. What do you think?"

Li Jiang looked at Mu Zhengbai up and down with cold and suspicious eyes, staring at him with fear in his heart, and coughed heavily to hide his guilt.

"What do you think, Mr. Li?" Mu Zhengbai raised his voice, wishing that everyone present could hear it clearly, and said, "It is better to rest at my father-in-law's Zhizhou Mansion than to find a random inn to spend the night. "
