Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

After Jiang Zui and Qi Chen hastily finished serving tea, Liu Yu, seeing that Qi Chen was not someone who could be easily fooled, hurriedly told him to leave.

Not long after they left, a group of soldiers suddenly burst in.

They were all menacing, and the leader, a general of the Imperial Guard, shouted, "Men, surround them! Don't let anyone in or out!"

"Yes."

Since Jiang Hongsheng was not present, Liu Yu was the one who came forward. "Sir, what important matter do you have to discuss?"

The Imperial Guard General produced the imperial edict and announced:

By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: General Jiang Hongsheng of Zhenyuan has formed cliques for personal gain, colluded with the enemy, and plotted rebellion. The evidence against him is conclusive, and he shall be executed according to the law. However, considering his many years of service on the battlefield, I hereby remove him from his post as general, demote him to a commoner, and exile him and his descendants to the border region of Lingnan. This is my decree.

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Liu Yu nearly collapsed to the ground, urgently seeking confirmation from the other party, "Impossible, no way! My general would never rebel! Your Excellency, is there a misunderstanding? There must be a misunderstanding, right?"

At this moment, Liu Yu was no longer the arrogant and domineering woman who had bullied Qi Chen just now; she had become a madwoman.

Qi Chen, standing beside Jiang Zui, looked deeply worried, gripping Jiang Zui's hand tightly and whispering, "Husband..."

He had barely opened his mouth when Jiang Zui stopped him with a look in his eyes.

He knew that exile was a foregone conclusion.

The Duke of Fuguo was wealthy and had a marriage alliance with the Zhenyuan General's family, which is why the emperor was wary of him.

As for the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, Jiang Hongsheng became arrogant because his merits overshadowed the master, and he was reluctant to relinquish his military power.

As for the Ministry of Revenue's office, it was because the Minister of Revenue, Zhao Yongnian, was Jiang Hongsheng's man.

"Madam, this matter is settled. General Zhenyuan has been flogged a hundred times and is waiting for you in prison."

After saying that, he turned to the officers and soldiers and ordered, "Search thoroughly."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the news, the concubines, maids, and servants all tried to escape with money, but they were caught by the soldiers.

After a thorough search, the officers and soldiers ransacked the entire Zhenyuan General's Mansion. Then, they searched everyone's bodies and took out all valuable jewelry, money, and other valuables to prevent anyone from hiding them.

Make him change into prison clothes.

At this moment, everyone in the mansion, whether masters or servants, knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Qi Chen was just a young man and had never seen such a scene before. He was so scared that he clung tightly to Jiang Zui's arm and wouldn't let go, unwilling to leave Jiang Zui's side for even a moment.

Jiang Zui comforted her softly, "It's alright, don't worry, I'm here."

He paused, then asked, "Ah Chen, do you...do you want a divorce?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chen was instantly stunned. He abruptly removed his hands from Jiang Zui's arms and questioned, "Why...why did you say that?"

"Ah Chen, as you can see, we just got married yesterday. If we divorce, you can continue to be the young master of your Duke of Fuguo's mansion. You don't have to come with me to that remote, backward, sweltering Lingnan region," Jiang Zui explained.

"No... I don't want to... We must still have a way, and there's my father. Father will definitely save us." Thinking of this, Qi Chen's eyes lit up instantly, filled with anticipation.

Jiang Zui sighed: Alas...

Jiang Zui did not tell Qi Chen that the Duke of Fuguo's family would also be exiled with them. First, he was afraid that the other party would not be able to bear it.

Secondly, based on his current public image, it's impossible for him to have known about this beforehand.

In less than half a day, the once magnificent Zhenyuan General's Mansion has become dilapidated.

Outside the imperial city, at the residence of the Duke of Fuguo, the residence of the Minister of Revenue, and at the residence of Jiang Hongsheng, who had been beaten unconscious, everyone was dressed in prison clothes. All the men had shackles around their necks and leg irons on their legs, and their hair was disheveled, making them look extremely wretched.

When the officials escorted Jiang Zui and the others to the location, Qi Chen noticed the presence of the Duke of Fuguo's residence along the route of exile. He rushed forward anxiously and asked, "Father, Father, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you..."

Jiang Zui followed closely behind and asked Qi Yi, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, eldest brother, second brother."

Qi Ze retorted defiantly, "That damned emperor actually framed the Duke of Fuguo's mansion for forming cliques, betraying the country, and treason! He deserves to die! And what's with the evidence? What rubbish! It's just something they fabricated to frame us."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chen's eyes darkened.

Yin Yue, who was standing nearby, changed the subject and asked, "Chenchen, how do you get along with your brother-in-law?"

Qi Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he said shyly, "Father~"

Upon seeing this, Yin Yue knew that her son was very satisfied with Jiang Zui.

Qi Chen: "Father, what should we do next?"

Qi Ze: "What else can we do?"

Qi Yi: "Sigh."

While they were having a pleasant conversation, things weren't going so well for Jiang Zhou.

When Jiang Zhou's house was raided in the morning, he happened to be away from the mansion. He had gone to the residence of the Minister of Revenue to find Zhao Xingyuan, and then followed Zhao Xingyuan and others here.

Upon seeing Jiang Hongsheng, Liu Yu immediately stepped forward, helped the injured Jiang Hongsheng up, and said, "General, what exactly happened? You devoted yourself to the Great Xia, yet the emperor cruelly exiled you. Is there any justice in this world?"

"Alright! Shut up," Jiang Hongsheng said through gritted teeth.

He did indeed intend to rebel, but before he could take any action, he was arrested.

The three families chatted for a while, and when it was time, the official escorting the prisoners angrily shouted, "Alright, enough reminiscing, it's time to set off."

Hearing this, Liu Yu asked nervously, "General, you...you can still walk?"

After being beaten, Jiang Hongsheng did not seek medical treatment. Instead, due to exhaustion, his wounds worsened, leaving him only able to lie down and unable to stand or walk.

Liu Yu approached the official and asked, "Sir, could you lend me a carriage? My master is truly unable to walk."

The official glanced at Jiang Hongsheng's condition and said without any mercy, "Whether you can walk or not is your own business. In any case, you can't delay our journey. Otherwise, you'll get a taste of the whip."

Helpless, Liu Yu had no choice but to have Jiang Zhou carry Jiang Hongsheng on his back.

Jiang Zhou had silver on him and bribed the officials so that he could wear shackles instead of cangues.

Jiang Zhou complained that it was too tiring and refused to carry the child, instead shifting the blame to Jiang Zui, saying, "Mother, you know my own body. How can I carry Father? Besides, shouldn't this be left to my eldest brother?"

Liu Yu thought for a moment, then called out in Jiang Zui's direction, "Xiao Zui, come here for a second."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zui said to Qi Yi and the others, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, I'll go over first."

As he spoke, he pointed in Liu Yu's direction.

"Okay, you go ahead, Chenchen, you come with me."

Jiang Zui walked up to Liu Yu and asked, "Mother, what is it?"

"Your father is injured and can't walk, so you'll have to carry him," Liu Yu said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Qi Chen, who was following behind Jiang Zui, immediately retorted, "Mother, Jiang Zui is wearing a shackle around her neck, how can she carry Father?"

Liu Yu then remembered that Jiang Zui was shackled and unable to carry anyone, so she coughed and said, "Mother forgot."

Just then, Liu Yu noticed that Qi Chen was not wearing any shackles and suddenly had an idea. "Xiao Chen, since Xiao Zui is wearing shackles and cannot take care of his elders, why don't you take care of them for Xiao Zui?"

"Father, I am a son, and I am so weak that I am afraid I can't even walk. If you ask me to carry you, please tell me first whether I can carry you."

I'm telling you, how can I, as a daughter-in-law, carry my father-in-law on my back? That's unreasonable.

I noticed that my second brother wasn't wearing any shackles, so I figured he must really want to be filial to our father.

Qi Chen looked so aggrieved that Liu Yu didn't know what to do.

"Although Zhouzhou is not under any shackles, she has been weak since childhood. Let me carry your father on her back," Liu Yu said insincerely.
