Chu Lixuan initially thought that Jiang Bilian alone had deceived the prime minister and his wife.
It turned out that the vicious old witch, mother and daughter, conspired together.
He just said, just because Jiang Bilian cried a few words, how could the Prime Minister marry a stupid girl instead?
Chu Lixuan was particularly grateful to the old witch and her daughter at this time.
However, he will not let go of the vicious mother and daughter.
"Wait for tomorrow morning, arrange for a few people to deliver some food to our first and second bedrooms, but not to the third bedroom. Prepare some to sell to the officials, and then tell the lady about the conversation just now."
Chu Yi said loudly . Said yes.
They admire Madam especially now. Previously, the Marquis asked them to store grain, but they only thought it was to store some for them to eat later.
After hearing his wife's words that day, they realized that a drought was coming, so Chu Yi and the others bought a lot of food.
Who knew! It was actually such a terrifying locust plague!
Fortunately, Chu Yi and the others had food in their hands and were not panicking.
Chu Lixuan's subordinates also have families, and this locust plague will not affect their relatives for the time being.
Chu Yi is Chu Lixuan's most capable general and a general of the Chu family army. Some of his subordinates are children of small aristocratic families.
Therefore, many of them have family members and tribesmen, and they have saved food in advance this time.
Chu Lixuan ordered some other matters to his men and entered the space.
Looking at his sleeping little wife, his heart was full of tenderness and he couldn't help but kiss her.
However, he didn't dare to wake her up, so he stayed close to her, hugged her gently for a while, and fell asleep deeply.
Jiang Xinyan's biological clock woke up. There was no day or night in this space. She shook Chu Lixuan awake.
"Husband, is it time to get up?"
"Well~" Chu Lixuan woke up behind his little wife again.
He also had enough sleep, so he quickly helped her get dressed, and the couple appeared in the carriage after eating.
The darkness before dawn was broken, and soon there was a glimmer of light.
"Dong dong Qiang... get up, get up and hurry up." The officials shouted irritably.
They and the prisoners were all woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. The temperature difference between day and night was so great that they were scorched to death during the day and extremely cold at night.
Officials usually sleep at the inn, so they don't prepare quilts for the journey.
Before the locust plague, even if I didn't arrive at the inn on time.
You can also buy food from the common people, and the officials will make a profit from the price difference.
They can also decide which prisoners are not pleasing to the eye and not sell to them. For example, Chu Lixiang spent one tael of silver to buy a meat bun.
After the locust plague, people rushed to the city to buy food.
Therefore, the officials and servants also had nothing to eat. They were hungry and even more miserable without blankets.
With a glimmer of light, we might as well be on our way!
The prisoners stayed on the official road for two consecutive nights, and the rich ones even ate some wild vegetable steamed bun soup.
The poor prisoner went without food for two days and two nights. Although the food at the inn was expensive, it was much cheaper than what the unscrupulous officials sold!
No matter how poor the prisoner was, he still had food distributed to satisfy his hunger when he arrived at the inn.
He couldn't get into the inn, and the officials were greedy for the rations that originally belonged to the prisoners.
The hungry prisoners, tired, exhausted, and sickly exiled team couldn't move any faster!
The officials whipped their whips and crackled, but it was of no use. They couldn't just drag them all away and bury them alive!
We could only move forward at a snail's pace. After walking all morning, we only walked about ten miles.
The frustrated officials were also hungry and thirsty, and there was no water in the pool beside the official road.
