  Chapter 2188 The two sisters in the Guizi scroll are in trouble, eagerly looking forward to Lang's heart

   "That's the only way to go, Chengfeng, let Ziying do her best." Ye Xianggao couldn't help but sighed: "The state affairs are difficult, everyone must work hard."

Qi Yongtai frowned, but finally nodded, "I will write a letter. I think Ziying should know the general idea. If it is possible, she will not stand idly by. By the way, Daofu, Dali Temple has recently successively sentenced people involved in Jiangnan conspiracy. There are quite a lot of people involved in the Niyi case, and the impact is not small."

The division of labor in the cabinet, because Li Tingji retired due to illness, now there are only four cabinet ministers in the cabinet. The Ministry of Industry, plus the Department of Transshipment Salt Envoys, Shibo Department, Qi Yongtai Management Department, Ministry of Rites, Zongren Mansion, Zhan Shi Mansion, Imperial Academy, Guozijian, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Li The three talents manage the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Taipu Temple, and the Department of Pedestrians. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division are independent, and the chief assistant Ye Xianggao directly intervenes.

  Because Emperor Yonglong was delirious and unable to see things, Lieutenant Long Jin actually directly connected with the chief assistant Ye Xianggao.

"It's been delayed for a long time, and it really can't be delayed any longer. Long Jinwei's prison, Dali Temple, the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and even the prison of Shuntian Mansion are all overcrowded. The people below are urging either to be released as soon as possible or to be sentenced as soon as possible. There is no way to go down, so we can only sentence a group first and release some on bail."

  Li Sancai was also very troubled by this matter.

The conspiracy in Jiangnan involves too much. Prince Yizhong has been in Beijing for decades. Who can say that he has nothing to do with him? It is said everywhere, many things cannot be investigated in depth, but you can't do it if you don't investigate what is on the surface, it is difficult to explain to the people of the world.

Just one of the four kings, eight lords and twelve lords in Wu Xun, almost all of them are involved in it, but these dozens of families that followed the Taizu to fight the world have branched out from Long Xungui, and the branches have spread out. I don’t know how many families Yes, the relationship with Prince Yizhong is different in depth, some are pure courtesy, and some are actually involved in it. It is very difficult to identify the relationship inside, and many of them can't say a word in the end. In short, it can only be dealt with in a general way with a stroke of a pen.

Moreover, most of these people have in-law relations with military officials in North Korea, Chinese and Chinese. Civil servants are better, and there are fewer marriages with Wu Xun. The handling also needs to be carefully screened. Some people have to be dealt with, but not too heavy.

There are also some people who consider that it can still play a role in recovering Jiangnan in the future, so they don't care about it, or shelve it first. All in all, it is too complicated. All three felt that their heads were huge.

"Well, that's the only way to go." Qi Yongtai just asked. He knew that because of Feng Ziying's marriage, he had a close relationship with the Jia family in the eighth family. Now the Jia family is temporarily released on bail, but there are still some relatives who have been exiled. Yes, so one more question.

However, Li Sancai understood the purpose of Qi Yongtai's extra question, smiled and said: "Most of the people who are exiled this time are going to the border of Shaanxi, how to do it specifically, because Shaanxi is still a war-torn area, so the inspectors over there will come. The specific arrangements are."

  Qi Yongtai stroked his beard and nodded. This Li Sancai is also a transparent person, and he knows how to arrange it without saying anything.

  *******

  Feng Ziying did not know that Shi Xiangyun, Qin Keqing and others were already on their way to exile when they received the letter. They estimated that they had already crossed the Yellow River and entered the front line of Fugu and Jiazhou.

It is said that there were more than a hundred people exiled in this group, and most of them were the family members of the criminals who committed the treason case in the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, they were going to go on the road one after another, going to Shaanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and Liaodong respectively, but they were simply merged together later. All will be distributed to Shaanxi.

Compared with Liaodong and Yunnan-Guizhou, Shaanxi is pretty good. Especially for northerners, Yunnan-Guizhou is really too difficult to accept. Most of them will lose their lives once they go there. Although Shaanxi is a little barren, at least in terms of climate and soil. acceptable.

   "Generally speaking, how do you arrange the exile of prisoners from Beijing?" Feng Ziying put away the letter and asked Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan was a prison official, so he was very clear about the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, "Not necessarily, as far as I know, in Shaanxi, they are basically sent to Suzhou and Ganzhou, where they are handed over to the military guards for labor. Such as farming, herding horses and sheep, or doing chores such as laundry."

   "Suzhou and Ganzhou?" Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows in surprise, "So far away?"

"My lord, this is exile. They are all criminals and dependents. Can they be kept in Xi'an city to eat and drink? Can it be called exile?" Wang Wenyan still didn't understand why Feng Ziying suddenly asked this question. What's the meaning.

   "Hmm." Feng Ziying rubbed her forehead, and asked again: "Is there no other place of exile? Or can you only go to those places? Isn't it possible to use it as a slave?"

Wang Wenyan blinked his eyes, and seemed to understand something, "Sir, this place of exile is usually designated by the procuratorate, and theoretically it is used for labor, which is justified everywhere, but it is usually to go to Suzhou. And Ganzhou."

"That is to say, where should the Procuratorate decide where to go?" Feng Ziying rubbed her chin, "Now the four guards in Xi'an are going to be rebuilt, which involves the production of robes. I think it will require a large number of manual labor, so it can be placed in the city of Xi'an." ,..."

  Wang Wenyan laughed, "Of course, there is a special craftsman's workshop in the capital, and it does need a large number of people. My lord, someone from Jia's house was exiled here?"

"Well, I'm still a female family member. I'm going to be exiled for thousands of miles. I don't know how long it will last." Feng Ziying said absent-mindedly: "I don't know how many martial arts are involved in this conspiracy in the south of the Yangtze River." Folks, there are as many as a thousand people imprisoned in the capital city because of this, Prince Yizhong has done a lot of harm."

   "It doesn't stop there. Once the imperial army goes south to capture Jinling, I don't know how many people will be involved in Nanjing. I reckon that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will be wiped out." Wang Wenyan is also infinitely emotional.

   "Not necessarily. In classical Chinese, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are all cunning people. It is normal to bet on both ends. If there is any trouble, they will find a way out first. I guess the court has received many votes." Feng Ziying sneered.

Wang Wenyan also laughed, "It's inevitable. If such a big family doesn't use this method, how can there be any eggs in the nest? These gentry families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they have no survival wisdom. They have long been annihilated in the chaos of war." gone."

   While Feng Ziying and Wang Wenyan were talking, Shi Xiangyun, Qin Keqing and others had just crossed the Yellow River and entered Shaanxi.

There were no less than a hundred people in their group, old and young, women and children, and since they were all prisoners or their family members, the court did not make it difficult for them, and even bought them ten or twenty donkey carts, so that seven or eight people could squeeze together in one cart. , so staggeringly came.

The carriage swayed and swayed, making people dizzy. If it was before, neither Shi Xiangyun nor Qin Keqing would be able to bear it, but the half-year prison disaster has already made their hearts almost tossed, and their lives are dark. It made them feel that their lives were worse than walking dead, so when they learned that they were exiled, they even breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was a result.

Starting from the capital city all the way to the west, the route they took was similar to that of Feng Ziying and his party. However, after passing through Datong, they still went all the way west, crossing the Yellow River from Laoniuwan, and going south to Yan'an Mansion. Xi'an.

During this journey, everyone was throwing up in the dark before, but after three or five days, everyone gradually got used to it. It was the duty to add cold steamed cakes and pickles, and it was the Feng family who said hello. With money stuffed, the situation is better. You can eat some hot cooking cakes, and occasionally you can add some meat.

After all, it is a criminal, if it is too ostentatious to be reported by others, it will inevitably be punished again, and the incident will go to the Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there must be another disturbance. This team of hundreds of people hates others The mentality of being rich abounds. Why are you going to be better than us when everyone is in trouble?

   "I heard that Fugu County is in front of you." Shi Xiangyun said quietly: "This is considered to have entered the realm of Shaanxi."

   "Isn't that not far from Xi'an City?" A woman sitting next to Qin Keqing asked.

"It's still far away. I heard that Shaanxi is too far away from the south to the north. I'm afraid it's not as close as the capital city to here, at least it's more than a thousand miles away." Shi Xiangyun had inquired before, shaking He shook his head: "Besides, it's not the land when we arrive in Xi'an. I heard that our exile is in Suzhou, Ganzhou. From Xi'an to Suzhou, Ganzhou, I'm afraid it's about as far away as Xi'an to Jingshi City. If you go all the way down, you may not be able to get there in three months,..."

  The girls on the donkey cart all gasped, thinking that Xi’an was already far away, but they didn’t expect that the distance from the place of exile to Xi’an was even farther than from the capital to Xi’an. Isn’t this on the horizon?

  Another woman sitting on Shi Xiangyun's right hand couldn't help but shiver, "Sister Yun, is Ganzhou and Suzhou still in the territory of Dazhou?"

"Why not, it's just that it's on the western border. I've heard the story about Banchao's emissary to the Western Regions. It is said that he passed there." Shi Xiangyun glanced at Qin Keqing, "Keqing, your mother-in-law's sister , Second Sister You and Third Sister You originally lived in Ganzhou, do you know?"

Qin Keqing sighed, and nodded: "I've heard that both of them are concubines for Uncle Feng now, maybe we haven't seen each other for a long time, but my former mother-in-law seems to go to Feng's house very often now. .”
