When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and even showed a relaxed smile, not only because of Xie Yunshang's words, but also because of Xie Yunshang's attitude.
After all, compared with the previous general, Xie Yunshang was much better.
Not only does he look handsome, but he also has a great attitude.
They really needed to rest. First they went through the riots, and then they were forced to walk for several days and nights by Captain Sun without much rest. Then they experienced the attacks by bandits. At this time, they just wanted to find a place to rest. They were always worried and too tired. .
Seeing that everyone was hungry and thirsty, Xie Yunshang even distributed all the grains escorted by the government officials to everyone so that they could eat enough.
But other government officials did not dare to stop it. After all, it was originally food for prisoners. Even though it was meant to be eaten for a long time, Xie Yunshang used it all at once.
"Mr. Chen, is this what you eat on weekdays?" Xie Yunshang picked up the hard steamed buns, his face looked a little unhappy, and he felt a little sorry for Mr. Chen.
"Um..."
Mr. Chen touched his nose, a little embarrassed to tell him that in fact they didn't eat this kind of food, they had always been popular for spicy food.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, you have suffered!"
Xie Yunshang thought of this and suddenly felt guilty. If he had returned to the capital earlier, he might have been able to avoid Mr. Chen being framed, and Mr. Chen would not have to suffer this kind of hardship.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will find a way to help you clear your grievances. I will guarantee it with my life!"
"Forget it!"
Mr. Chen shook his head. "I accept your wishes. Your Majesty has already made this matter clear. No. It may change. If you want to force the case to be overturned, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"
He actually guessed that it was impossible for His Majesty to protect Zhang Yiquan based on the minister behind him. There was obviously someone more important behind him.
The identity of this man is self-evident.
Therefore, he knew very well that the identity of that person was so important, and his family was lucky to be alive now. If he thought about overturning the case again, he would probably anger His Majesty.
Not only that, it will also implicate those who want to overturn his case and plead for mercy on his behalf.
"But Mr. Chen..."
Xie Yunshang was a little anxious, "Sir Chen, although I have never been to the Southern Barbarians, it must be as bad as the frontiers, or even worse..."
He had seen people exiled to the frontiers. , many people died before reaching the road, and even when they reached the border, they only had half their lives left.
Even if they still have half a life, they will not enjoy the blessings when they get there. They will do all the dirty work.
Washing and cooking, plowing and farming.
Even when the enemy attacks, they will be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength.
Even if Xie Yunshang and his father would not abuse prisoners like this, other soldiers would when they were away, and almost all soldiers believed that these prisoners should be treated like this.
Their treatment is similar to that of prisoners.
Precisely because Xie Yunshang knew this, he wanted to avoid Master Chen from having such an experience.
Originally, he thought Master Chen was exiled to the border so that he could secretly take care of him, but who knew that he was actually exiled to the Southern Barbarian region where he had a narrow escape from death.
This made him more determined to prevent Lord Chen from being exiled to the Southern Barbarians.
Mr. Chen was deeply moved when he saw him thinking about his family so much. He didn't expect that his small act of kindness at that time would turn out to be... This also shows that his efforts to save people at that time were indeed worthwhile.
However, he didn't save Xie Yunshang for any reward, and he didn't want the innocent person to be implicated by him.
So he vaguely revealed that this matter was not simple, and even speculated on the identity of the person behind it.
Xie Yunshang frowned. No wonder his father said at that time that this matter was not simple. The exile of the Chen family was the best outcome. At that time, he thought that his father did not want to spend a big price to take action...
Now think about it, if his father hinted at other things, If the general pleads for Mr. Chen together, I am afraid that His Majesty will become more determined to get rid of Mr. Chen.
"I understand." He nodded, "I will be careful and will not act rashly until I find a perfect solution."
While the few people were chatting, they had already arrived at Pingyin County.
Xie Yunshang had already sent his men to the county seat to inform the county magistrate, so the county magistrate led people to greet him at the city gate early.
After all, the person coming was the famous General Pingwei.
He is a small county magistrate, and General Ping Wei's rank is higher than him by who knows how much, even if it is not in the same system.
Besides, General Ping Wei can inherit the title of Marquis Pingyuan even if he has no military exploits. In the past, he had no place to curry favor with him, but now that he finally met him, how could he not go up and curry favor with him.
So, he transferred all the government officials from the county seat, opened the city gate, and welcomed General Pingwei.
Xie Yunshang and others saw the county magistrate from afar. Before they even got close, the county magistrate hurried over and saluted Xie Yunshang respectfully.
"Pingyin County Magistrate Xu Yuan has met General Pingwei!"
"Master Xu, you're welcome!"
General Pingwei returned the greeting with fists clasped, without any airs.
"General, you're welcome, just call me by my name!" Magistrate Xu said in fear.
"Master Xu is older than me. How can I call my elder by his first name? If my father hears this, he will be punished."
"This..."
Magistrate Xu looked helpless, but he was relieved in his heart. Although it is just a title, it can reveal a person's character.
Obviously, General Pingwei was easier to talk to than expected, which made Magistrate Xu, who wanted to curry favor with him, immediately overjoyed.
"These people have just experienced a bandit attack, please ask Magistrate Xu to make arrangements!"
Xie Yunshang did not forget the people behind him, and he did not treat them as prisoners.
"No problem!" Magistrate Xu nodded, and General Ping Wei spoke. How could he refuse? Even if he couldn't owe him a favor, he could still gain his favor.
"These are..."
He asked his men to settle the prisoners, and Magistrate Xu looked at Mr. Chen. After all, he came here with General Pingwei, so he was a little curious about his identity.
"This is Mr. Chen...for some reasons, so..." Xie Yunshang did not say much, but showed respect for Mr. Chen.
Magistrate Xu was a little surprised when he saw this. He knew that General Pingwei called him "sir" just because of his age.
But he could see that General Pingwei called him Master Chen not because of his age, but because he really respected him.
Therefore, this made Magistrate Xu more and more curious about Mr. Chen's identity.
Judging from his appearance, he is obviously an exiled prisoner. What does he have to do with General Pingwei?
Is it because of him that General Pingwei appears here this time?
However, didn't I hear that General Ping Wei accidentally saved the team that was attacked by bandits just when he was passing by?
In any case, since General Pingwei respected Master Chen so much, Magistrate Xu felt that this was an opportunity. As long as he took good care of Master Chen, he might be able to make General Pingwei have a better impression of him.
Even if you don't mention it to yourself in the future, maybe after something happens to you, so after saying a few words, you can help yourself.
