Chapter 163 Departure
The exiled team has recovered most of the people. Moreover, after these days of hard work, the officers and soldiers of the Zhizhou Prefecture, in cooperation with the officials, have carefully searched the entire Tongzhou. Basically, all the prisoners who should be found have been found. Now we continue. Staying in Tongzhou will only be a waste of time.

Li Jiang and other officials had already prepared dry food for the journey in advance, and gathered all the prisoners together early in the morning on the day of departure, waiting only to set off on the road in the afternoon.

The officials held a big basin filled with big steamed buns and shouted: "Come! We will set off in an hour. These are steamed buns generously donated by Lord Zhizhou. Everyone fills their stomachs and walks until dark in one breath. No rest!”

During the period of living in Zhizhou Mansion, the officials did not notice anything unusual about Zhang Zhizhou. On the contrary, Zhang Zhizhou had been enthusiastic about helping them search for fugitives and providing them with accommodation. Therefore, they all harbored misconceptions about Master Zhizhou. respected.

Except for the small group of prisoners living in the small courtyard, most of the other fugitives were locked up in the woodshed. The food was really poor, and they only ate one or two rough-wheat buns every day to barely satisfy their hunger.Now that they saw the big white steamed buns, their eyes lit up. After receiving their own steamed buns from the officials, they lowered their heads and started to gnaw hungrily.

Unlike them, Ruan He opened a small stove alone in his small courtyard, and the whole family ate well before going out, so they were not hungry at the moment.

However, like other prisoners, they also took a big steamed bun and gnawed it slowly in their hands, eating it casually as snacks.

Anyway, they still have half an hour to go before they hit the road. In this moment, they can finish the big steamed bun slowly. Even if they can't finish it, they can satisfy their hunger on the road.

Mu Zhengbai was munching on his big steamed bun. It was indeed a hard time, and his face was thin and he looked more and more haggard.

As if he was afraid of choking to death, he gnawed his own steamed buns in big mouthfuls and ate them all in a short while.

After finishing his own steamed buns, Mu Zhengbai licked his lips with unfinished thoughts and cast his greedy eyes on the steamed buns in Zhang and Mu Qinghong's hands.

In his opinion, now that they are leaving Tongzhou, the mother and daughter have nothing to rely on. They will have to rely on him in the future. What's wrong with him eating two more steamed buns? ?

During the previous exile, Mu Zhengbai did not dare to bully mother and daughter rashly. To a large extent, he was still afraid of his father-in-law in Tongzhou for fear of being liquidated later. But now it is very different!
"Give me the steamed bun!" Mu Zhengbai's greedy eyes were fixed on the big steamed bun, and he almost pounced on it, suddenly reaching out his hand towards the half-eaten big steamed bun in Mu Qinghong's hand. passed.

After the past few days, Zhang and her daughter are now very haggard. It's just that they don't have enough food and clothing on weekdays. They have to be punched and kicked by Mu Zhengbai for nothing, but they are wary of Mu Zhengbai, who is not a human being. Very.

Mu Qinghong's expression changed, and she hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid Mu Zhengbai's frantic lunging towards her, and firmly protected her food.

"Hong'er!" Ms. Zhang was afraid that her little daughter would be beaten by her biological father again in vain, so she quickly protected Mu Qinghong behind her and stared at Mu Zhengbai who was staring at him with vigilance.

"Master Hou, if you bully our mother and daughter again, I will call you Master Cha!" Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, looking like she was breaking a jar, and stared at him.

Mu Zhengbai was afraid that she would really call the official and get whipped for nothing, so he could only look at the big steamed bun with pity, then glared at the mother and daughter viciously, and turned around with curses in his mouth.

Seeing Mu Zhengbai turn around and walk away, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her daughter tightly, cried silently, and choked with sobs, "How could this happen, Hong'er?"

She didn't know why her father would give up mother and daughter directly, and she didn't know how Mu Zhengbai became like this. "Mrs. Zhizhou is here!" A voice suddenly shouted.

Li Jiang looked over following the sound and saw Mrs. Cui of Zhizhou, accompanied by several maids and grandmothers, walking towards them, obviously coming towards them.

Their last meeting was really not a pleasant one, but after all, she was Lord Zhizhou's wife, so Li Jiang had to greet her politely.

"Mrs. Zhizhou."

Mrs. Cui did not come here to cause trouble for Li Jiang, an official official. She glanced at Li Jiang lightly and said in a casual manner: "Master Li, I am here to see two people. After all, they are the blood of Master Zhizhou." Dear relatives, you must come over and take a look."

Mrs. Cui made a special trip here on Zhang Zhizhou's request to say goodbye to Zhang and her daughter. When she came over, her expression was particularly scornful and perfunctory, even a little impatient. She seemed to feel that she had to trouble herself for such a trivial matter. It's really troublesome to come here.

Hearing this, Li Jiang immediately understood. He turned his eyes and landed on the Zhang mother and daughter who were munching steamed buns in the corner. He nodded and agreed: "Madam, please do it. We are half We’ll be on our way in a few hours.”

Mrs. Cui didn't seem to listen to his words, and walked straight towards the team without even looking at him.

Li Jiang couldn't help but frowned slightly, and called to Wang Xiaoer who was standing aside, "Go and bring Zhang and Mu Qinghong out to Madam."

Wang Xiaoer also didn't like the eccentric and condescending Mrs. Zhizhou, so he could only respond in a muffled voice, and walked in front, calling for the Zhang mother and daughter to come out.

Ms. Cui walked over slowly, looking up and down at the haggard and embarrassed mother and daughter with scornful eyes, showing a little surprise.

She didn't seem to have thought that these officials did not treat Zhang's mother and daughter at all.

But this was not within the scope of Cui's consideration. She looked at the mother and daughter and said casually: "Master Zhizhou asked me to give you something."

As Ms. Cui finished speaking, the nanny behind her came forward, lowered her head, and silently handed over a large bundle.

When she saw the big burden, Mu Qinghong's pale face suddenly lit up with hope. She thought her grandfather had finally remembered them and was unwilling to let them suffer on the road to exile.

Even when she was reduced to sleeping in a woodshed, Mu Qinghong always believed that since her grandfather would hijack a ship to save people for them, he would definitely come to save them again, definitely!

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but show a look of joy, which seemed to be a reward for all the hard work. She thanked Mrs. Cui repeatedly and took the baggage.
