Chapter 109 Gu Clan Members Exiled
Next, continue on the road for a while.

Gu Hua and his companions met the people of the Gu family who were sent here by officials from the Jiangzhou City Government to join the exiled people at the Huaiyang County Post Station.

The three clans recognized by Daxuan are the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan.

The paternal clan was the clan that wrote Gu Hua, who had left the family, back into the family tree for the sake of property. They were the relatives of Gu Hua.

The maternal family refers to Gu Hua’s mother’s direct blood relatives, her grandparents, and her mother’s brothers and sisters.

...Married sisters from the maternal family are not included.

The mother of this body of Gu Hua has passed away, and the only family left in his maternal family is Uncle Chen.

Wife's family. How can Gu Hua, a female head of the family, have a wife's family? This can be omitted.

"An evildoer."

The first words Gu Hua heard when he met the Gu family members were from such an unfriendly voice.

"Are you a troublemaker?" Gu Hua smiled slightly, and said sarcastically, "Isn't this your own choice?"

"you……"

Gu Hua raised his hand: "I have already left the family and established a new branch. You are not insisting on including me in the family tree again. This will implicate me and make me blame others."

Gu Hua looked at his uncle who was glaring at him viciously, and smiled freely, saying sarcastically, "After I left Jiangzhou City, you bribed the officials and sold my shops privately for profit, why didn't you blame me for being a member of the Gu family?!"

Don't think that just because she went to the capital she didn't know what they did to the shop she left behind after she left, in collusion with government officials.

The reason why Gu Hua pretended to sell the Gu Mansion before leaving was to prevent them from doing such a thing.

Sure enough, Gu Hua did not underestimate the shamelessness of the Gu Hua family.

Hearing the crying, Gu Hua turned around.

"Cousin, grandpa passed away not long after we left." Gu Chen said crying.

Her fourth cousin Gu Jiqing, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a guilty look and some other emotions.

Gu Hua came over and said in a low voice: "My condolences."

"It's all your fault, bitch. If it weren't for you, my grandfather wouldn't have died so soon."

Gu Hua paused when he heard the voice, and seeing the married Gu Yun, he asked with a puzzled tone, "Why are you here?"

In ancient times, the nine clans were punished, which actually included four clans from the father's family, three clans from the mother's family, and two clans from the wife's family. A married daughter was within the attack range of the nine clans, but a son-in-law was not.

Everyone knows that the three clans will not be affected by the disaster, especially the married women.

"What else could it be? Because she was divorced by her husband's family." A woman from the Gu clan said with some gloating.

"Shut up, you foul-mouthed slut." Miao had originally looked at Gu Hua gloomily, but now, in order to protect her daughter, she started quarreling with the woman.

"Be quiet, who's causing trouble? Take them all out and give them a good beating, and they'll behave themselves."

The guarding bailiff was annoyed by the noise and shouted angrily.

More than a hundred people from the Gu family were implicated this time.

Gu Hua smiled when he saw that most of the people present were close associates of the third branch of the Gu family.

However, she still saw a few families who were sitting in another corner, keeping a distance from those in the third room, and looking at her with neither joy nor anger.

It can be seen that these people resented being implicated by her, but they did not hate her to death. If I am not mistaken, these people are all members of the Gu family who are not more than five generations away from the Sixth House.

.........

The next day, the exile team continued on their journey.

Ten days later, Gu Hua and his team first came face to face with the famine refugees. They asked who had seen refugees begging from exiled prisoners.

Gu Hua said they had met before: "..."

"Please give us something to eat!" A group of ragged victims stopped the exile team.

Gu Hua looked at the nearly 100 people, most of whom were elderly and children. The few women looked like they were being abused. His eyes darkened.

He reached out to stop the Shen family and Uncle Chen who had sympathy on their faces, and raised his chin towards the nearby forest. "It seems there are still people hiding there."

The two families then looked carefully and saw a figure swaying in the woods between the mountains.

Gu Hua called Ergui and asked him to tell Wang Geng about their findings. No matter what the relationship between the exiles and the officials was at other times, they were a group at this time.

Ergui walked over and explained the situation. Wang Geng and Gu Hua looked at each other from a distance and reached some kind of consensus.

At this time, a kind-hearted exile distributed some of the food he had with him to the refugees. However, instead of receiving gratitude from those people, more people reached out to ask for more.

By the time those who had donated alms realized that something was wrong, the refugees took the opportunity to snatch away their bags, including some people from the Gu family.

Seeing that they not only robbed things but also knocked people to the ground, everyone realized how terrible it was for the victims who had not received any relief from the court for a long time.

The men hiding in the woods in the mountains wanted to rush out and join those people in robbing their group of exiles.

Then Wang Geng and all the yamen runners drew out the big swords hanging on their waists, and with the cold sword light flashing, they mercilessly hacked to death several victims who had attempted to rob.

"Boss, we don't have as many people as them, and our weapons are not as sharp as theirs. Do we still want to rob this pair of exiled prisoners?"

"What are you robbing for? Don't you see that they have already developed murderous intentions towards those old immortals, as well as women and children..."

The victims left tactfully.

Wang Geng was also an old man who escorted exiled prisoners. He was very good at prioritizing certain things. He did not send people to chase the exiles just because they injured a few prisoners while robbing things.

Instead: “Keep on the road.”

Perhaps because of what happened before, the people from the fourth room did not get close to Gu Hua and the others along the way.

Fortunately, this time they and those family members who were not close to Third Uncle's family were all following not far behind Gu Hua. Gu Chen brought people over to protect them, so nothing happened.

Later on the way, Ye saw that Miao also disliked Gu Hua, so she wanted to find someone of the same kind to chat and make trouble, but was discovered by the careful Bai Zhenzhen.

Soon after, Ye was called away by Uncle Chen, and no one knew what was said to her behind her back.

After that, Ye became much more obedient and no longer bothered Gu Hua for no reason as before.

Even Chen Ze, who had always been a dissolute man, was educated by his uncle Chen and his elder brother Chen Ling during this period. Although he was still influenced by the Ye family and didn't like Gu Hua very much, he was not so rebellious anymore.

Only Chen Man, whose engagement was broken off due to exile, still saw Gu Hua every time, with hatred in her eyes but a flattering smile on her face.

Gu Hua, who knew the reason, also expressed his understanding of her hatred. In ancient times, girls attached great importance to marriage. It was normal for the girl to feel unhappy because he was involved in her being broken off.

Some members of the Gu family had their bags stolen by the refugees, and all the food and water they brought with them were gone. Some people then set their sights on Gu Hua.
