Chapter 722 Happy New Year

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Come on, build a human wall so that none of the troublemakers can escape!"

"The military clerk will write down the names of the troublemakers. When we arrive in the Northeast Province, the list will be handed over to Lord Liang, who will report it to His Majesty. If the troublemakers are slaves, then the names of their masters will be reported!"

Captain Fan gave the order, and continued to whip Gu Xuan with the whip in his hand.

The four palace soldiers, three stewards, and the servants who served Gu Xuan used their bodies to block the whip for Gu Xuan, fearing that Gu Xuan would be crippled and they would be punished.

Seeing this, Captain Fan became even angrier.

The young masters were scared to death when they saw that Gu Xuan was beaten severely.

But the smart ones risked being beaten and came to apologize in person: "Captain Fan, calm down. It was all because of my discipline that the cunning slaves couldn't stand the hassle of traveling and ran out to cause trouble... Don't worry, once we enter the territory of Northeast Province, I will beat them to death immediately and will never let them cause trouble for you."

"Being beaten to death?" Captain Fan smiled, his smile full of sarcasm, and asked again: "Who are you?"

"I am a junior from the Bai family." said Master Bai.

There is a list of all those who were driven back, so even if they don't tell the truth, Captain Fan will be able to find it out.

So it is better to tell the truth. Maybe you can get some appreciation from Captain Fan, a straightforward man, and ask him to show mercy and not report the fact that the Bai family is not cooperating with the journey.

Unfortunately, he wishful thinking.

Captain Fan said: "You are just like those people who are doing nothing. Not only are you useless, but when something goes wrong, you also put the blame on the servants. Without your orders, how dare the servants cause trouble with the soldiers? You beat them to death at the slightest provocation and treat human life as worthless. You are the real butchers!"

Young Master Bai's face flushed red, he felt angry and regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come to get scolded.

Captain Fan yelled, "Get lost! Once their names are registered, we will naturally release them to serve you!"

Young Master Bai was so angry that he was shaking, but in the end he was not stupid enough to lose his temper. He was helped by his servants and returned to his car.

Captain Fan pointed at the people around him and shouted, "Remember this, all of you. The soldiers escorting you have only one master, and that is the current emperor. So unless your father is the emperor, it will be useless even if your father is the ancient Cheng Yong or the new Cheng Yong!"

"Also, according to His Majesty's decree, the first group of people who are relocating from Northeastern Province must reach the border of Northeastern Province before the first day of the Lunar New Year. Those who fail to reach the border will be considered traitors and will be killed on the spot at the least, or their entire clan will be implicated at the worst."

"If you want to disobey my order and destroy your family, then you can camp here and celebrate the New Year!"

The imperial power is supreme, who dares to disobey?
"Captain Fan, calm down. We know we were wrong and we will continue on our way."

"You little dog slave, what are you still doing lying there? Come back and continue on your way. If you don't reach the border of Northeast Province before midnight, I will beat you to death immediately!"

"Hurry, hurry, lift the young master into the car... Doctor, quickly ask the accompanying doctor to come and treat the young master's injuries." The third steward of the Gu family shouted.

But before the doctor had finished applying medicine to all of Gu Xuan's wounds, the large team started moving.

The Gu family's carriage was urged: "Gu family, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, you will implicate all of us and get us executed for disobeying the order!"

There was no choice but to move the Gu family’s carriage.

Due to the bumpy ride, the doctor's fingers poked Gu Xuan's wound several times, making Gu Xuan scream in pain.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. All the vehicles were running at full speed, and the servants who had no cars to ride in also ran. They ran very fast, fearing that they would be punished for disobeying the order if they did not reach the border of Northeast Province by midnight!
After traveling for half the night, the front of the large group finally rushed into the territory of Northeast Province before midnight.

"We've reached the border of Northeast Province. Our lives are saved, saved!" Everyone was delighted.

After walking forward for another half an hour, the tail of the large group also entered the territory of Northeast Province. Captain Fan gave the order: "Set up camp and rest here!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Captain Fan's order, set up camp and rest here!"

When the young masters heard this, they cried with joy. They could finally stop to rest and eat. Captain Fan listened to their crying and spat on the ground. Bah, a bunch of useless people who only know how to enjoy themselves. They are much worse than the disaster victims three years ago.

Captain Fan thought of the disaster victims he had escorted... The one who left the deepest impression on him was a girl who told them about several kinds of medicine. With those medicines, everyone's colds were cured.

Captain Fan no longer remembered what the girl looked like, but he knew her last name was Qin. He also knew that after her family settled down there, they not only became rich, but also made great contributions.

Hey, Your Majesty did not waste the grain to save the victims. Look, this saved a powerful victim and brought so many benefits to the court!
Captain Fan smiled.

Someone asked him, Qianhu, what are you laughing at?

He replied proudly: "The victims I escorted back then have made great contributions. The Qin family that discovered the spies who had been lurking for a hundred years were the victims I escorted back then!"

……

While those cowards were still eating snow and freezing on the road, Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao's families had a good New Year.

After celebrating the New Year and eating dumplings, Qin Xiaomi went back to her room and fell into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until past midnight.

Grandma Qin could only knock on her door and call her, "Xiaomi, it's the first day of the new year, you have to get up early, hurry up, don't sleep any more, Xiaozhu, Fubao and the others have been waiting for you for half an hour."

Jiang Xiaozhu, Qin Xiaomai, Xiao Fubao, and Qin Jingyi had been squatting outside her door for half an hour, eagerly waiting for her to wake up so that they could wish her a happy new year and get lucky money.

Qin Jingyi was already a big kid, and he knew how to be shy. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Fifth Grandma, don't call me Sister Xiaomi. We can come back after breakfast."

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "No need to go back, wait a little longer, your sister Xiaomi has already woken up, and Grandma Wu heard the noise."

Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Yiqing opened the door and invited them in.

"Sister Xiaomi!" Jiang Xiaozhu entered the room immediately and bowed: "Xiaozhu wishes Sister Xiaomi a happy new year. May the new year bring new joy and good fortune. May Sister Xiaomi be blessed with good fortune, wealth and a mountain of gold!"

Qin Xiaomi's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she asked, "Who taught you this?"

So rustic!

Jiang Xiaozhu: "Master Xun taught me that."

Little Fubao nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Xun said that this is a very auspicious phrase, and it is most auspicious to say it on the first day of the new year."

He raised his chubby hands and said, "Fubao has learned it too. I'll tell Sister Xiaomi about it now."

Qin Xiaomi: "..."

Can I not listen?
I'm afraid that if I listen to it, this year will be a bad year.

But it’s New Year’s Day, how can I refuse others’ New Year’s greetings?
So Qin Xiaomi listened to four ridiculous New Year greetings.

"Be good, eat well, sleep well, and study hard." Qin Xiaomi praised them and gave them purses with New Year's money.

The four little guys took it, thanked her, and ran away together. They hid in a corner of the front bunk, secretly opened their purses, and saw that there were two gold and one silver nuggets inside. They exclaimed in surprise: "It's gold and silver. Sister Xiaomi is so generous this year!"

The four little ones cried and were very happy.

"Xiaomi gave you gold?!" Uncle Qin was so shocked that he wanted to make a doll to get the New Year's money.

However, he had no intention of following the trend and giving the little kids more New Year's money. Instead, he called his wife over, and after the couple sat down, he let the four little ones wish them a happy New Year.

Then, he gave the four of them red envelopes and said, "This is the New Year's money for you. You must be more obedient this year, grow up well, and learn skills well. When you grow up, you will be able to be filial to my husband and me. Do you understand?"

Influenced by Qin Cunquan, Qin Jingyi was the first to say, "Well, when I grow up, I will be filial to you."

"Yes, yes, Xiaozhu is also filial to you." Jiang Xiaozhu agreed and took the lead in opening the red envelope, but there were still only six copper coins inside!
