When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 127: Allocation of Exile

Shen Hongling touched the mark of an exiled prisoner on her face. It had faded and only a little bit remained. It was because her mother asked them to put some dust on that place to cover it up that no one noticed it.

They didn't know whether this matter had anything to do with Gu Hua, but the Shen family also discovered that except for them, the marks of exile branded behind the ears of Gu Hua and his group and several children had disappeared earlier.

However, the branding was not obvious behind the ear and was ignored by everyone.

"Second sister, third sister, when Sister Gu was asked by our aunt to stay and accompany us, she accepted the surrender of our aunt and the Shen family."

Shen Hongxuan had clear and bright eyes, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes. She was not tall, had thin arms, and her cheekbones were still prominent. She was thin, so she looked light and fluttery.

But compared to her two sisters who knew martial arts, Shen Hongxuan's eyes had a hint of wisdom from being well-read, "Sisters, don't worry that Sister Gu will ignore us."

Madam Shen looked at Shen Hongxuan with admiration, then turned around and gave Shen Hongling and Shen Hongwei a cold look, "You two are typical examples of strong limbs but simple minds. Our Xuan'er is smart and can think things through."

"Aunt." Shen Hongxuan blushed shyly when she was praised by Mrs. Shen.

"What are you ashamed of?" Madam Shen said sadly, "Your eldest sister was born in our military family. She is a bit reckless and simple by nature, and is not suitable to enter the palace as a concubine.

However, after your father, second uncle, and brothers died in battle, the emperor ordered her to be taken in in order to appease the troops they led, but she died tragically in the harem. "

"Mother."

“Aunt!!”

Madam Shen tried hard to hold back her tears, her eyes turned red, and she choked up: "From now on, there will only be a few women left in our Shen family, mother and me. We will have to rely on you three sisters to support this family."

Shen Hongling, Shen Hongwei, and Shen Hongxuan also had red eyes...

Wang Geng took all the exiles who were brought to Shuzhou alive to the Shu Ya and detained them in accordance with the regulations. Then the local authorities assigned them to various places of exile according to the severity of their crimes.

First of all, there are the Chen family, the fourth branch of the Gu family, the Shen family, Dagui, Ergui, Han Jinyan and the four younger brothers he left behind, and Gu Jikun and his gang.

Wang Geng knew their relationship with Gu Hua. When Dagui secretly stuffed a bag of silver into his hand, he realized how thoughtful Gu Hua was.

"Brother, help them find a good place."

An official in the Shuzhou government office who often interacted with him quietly put a bag of silver into his sleeve pocket and said with a bright smile, "Okay, okay, we in Shuzhou have also been affected by the drought in the past two years.

If you want to talk about a good life, life is hard anywhere in this situation."

Wang Geng also knew this, but he still said, "Brother, just help them find a place where they won't die of thirst at this time."

"Okay, then let's go to Laifu Town, Dashan Village." The official finally gave his suggestion, "I heard there is a river there that has not completely dried up. If we are assigned there, at least we will have water to drink for a short period of time."

Wang Geng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Then assign them there."

So, several families and Dagui, Han Jinyan and others were assigned to certain places.

Settle the group of people led by Gu Hua.

Then Wang Geng narrowed his eyes and waited until the officials of the summer court sent other heavily sentenced exiles to places under government control to do hard labor. The Gu clan members and Wang Hanyou and Wang Hanzhong were reluctant to take out the few silver coins they had hidden on them to exchange for a better place.

Even if the crime they were exiled to was not serious, they were still assigned to those poor villages halfway up the mountain where it was difficult to survive even in good weather.

It was not until the official loudly mentioned the allocation of land to the Shan and Sun families that Wang Geng handed over the silver that the two families had asked him to negotiate for.

The officials of Daxuan were rotten to the core from top to bottom. Every time the officials in the government office sent a family to exile, they would try to read it out loud to see if there were any resentful people who were willing to pay for a good place.

The official took the purse and shook it secretly. It was obviously lighter than the first time, which made him frown. "Then let's distribute it to Yunwu Village, which is not too far from Dashan Village."

Now it was Wang Geng's turn to frown.

He had escorted exiles to Shuzhou no less than ten times, and he knew where some of the exiled prisoners went.

There is nothing much in the whole Shuzhou, just a lot of mountains.

For example, there is Dashan Village in Lai Fu Town. There are many mountains there, but at least there is a river that is not small.

In other places, it may not be considered a good place, but in Shuzhou, a place with many mountains, little land and poor resources, Dashan Village is not in the best location, but it is indeed a good place here.

The village not far from Dashan Village mentioned by the officials of the summer government, Yunwu Village, is not far away if it is on the plain. But in this place surrounded by mountains, the place they mentioned is at least an hour's walk away.

I think it was because they paid too little bribe and were disliked by this greedy official, so he assigned them there in a neutral way.

……

Along the way, Gu Hua always felt that the Shuzhou here was like the current Bayu region of Sichuan.

This has also been a battleground for military strategists in Sichuan since ancient times.

Xiao Junlin's fiefdom was the entire Bashu.

The terrain here is complex, with mountains, hills and basins intertwined, forming a natural barrier, making the area easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Throughout history, the land of Bashu has often become a battlefield between separatist forces and the central government.

For example, the establishment of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, the multiple wars between Shu Han and Cao Wei in the later period, and the wars during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period were all closely related to the land of Bashu.

"We're here." Xiao Junlin reminded, "What are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think much about it." Could Gu Hua say that some places in this fictional ancient time were very similar to some places in modern times?
"Don't think about anything, just get off the carriage." Xiao Junlin's tone was tough, but his actions were gentle. He got off the carriage first and helped Gu Hua down, then handed the children to Chunlan, Xia He and others who were waiting nearby.

Gu Hua's five maids were arranged by Ye Ping and Ye An early today to sit next to the prince's carriage they were riding in. The officials of Shu County successfully mistakenly believed that they were maids brought here by the prince's palace.

Because of the appearance of the children, Prefect Wang Lian finally understood why Prince Li Xiao Junlin had insisted so strongly on not allowing the people in the carriage to be assigned to the place of exile.

"It's a pity that I learned that Prince Li was coming to Bashu. I had some thoughts about this. I don't know the identity of the woman who was with him. How could she be exiled?"
