When they arrived near the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it was still early in the sky. There were several stalls selling breakfast not far away. The two of them found a place to sit down and ate slowly.

Before Gu Fei finished his bowl of noodles with soybean paste, he saw a group of people coming out of the Prison Department Prison.

There were two officials in front of him, followed by a group of people.

It was really just a string. These people were all strung together by ropes, and everyone had shackles around their necks. Fortunately, there were no shackles on their feet. It would have been difficult to travel with shackles.

There are two more officers at the end of the team, for a total of four.

There were six people in shackles. Old Madam Lu and her two aunts Gu Fei had seen them. There were also two teenagers and a girl who was Xiao Yu's cousin. Gu Fei had also seen them when she went to the Duke of Qin's mansion. .

Mrs. Lu's gray hair was disheveled, she was wearing a dirty prison uniform, and she walked forward with a dull expression.

When the group of people walked very far and were almost out of sight, Xiao Yu got up and followed them.

Gu Fei sat still, finished eating the noodles with soybean paste, gave her some money, and then followed Xiao Yu from a distance.

After walking for about half an hour, when they were approaching the South City Gate, Gu Fei dodged towards the street and teleported out.

Fortunately, she was familiar with this side of the South City Gate. It was here that the person from the Red Lotus Sect was found last time.

Gu Fei teleported to the vicinity of Nanshan, which was about ten miles away from the capital.

Turning out from the foot of the mountain, you can see many pedestrians and horses on the official road.

Perhaps because the weather is hot now, most pedestrians choose to go on their way early in the morning.

Gu Fei walked forward slowly, she wanted to choose a good place to start.

After walking about four or five miles, Gu Fei looked at the watch on her wrist.

It's half past eight.

She found the watch specially because she hadn't used it for a long time.

The clockwork was wound last night and the time was approved.

It was still early, and she had agreed with Xiao Yu that the time to take action would be around ten o'clock. If she took action too early, she was afraid that the news that the Qin family members had been rescued would spread back to the capital, and the capital might execute Duke Qin on the spot. Father and son.

Gu Fei walked neither fast nor slowly. When it was almost 9:30, he saw a straw shed set up under a big tree on the side of the road. A flag was picked out from the straw shed with a big word "tea" on it.

There were several rough wooden tables in the shed, with benches surrounding them. An old man with wrinkles on his face was sitting in the thatched hut. Seeing Gu Fei looking over, he hurriedly said hello, "Sir, it's hot. Come drink a glass of water and have a rest."

Gu Fei walked in with a smile, gave a few copper coins, ordered a bowl of herbal tea, and drank it slowly.

Not long after, several more tea guests came one after another. After drinking tea, they gave copper coins and left.

Only Gu Fei was still sitting there.

Gu Fei only drank half of a bowl of herbal tea after two quarters of an hour, and the old man selling the tea didn't rush her.

She glanced at her wrist and saw that it was already ten past ten. After reading the time, she pulled down her sleeves to cover her watch.

She craned her neck and looked towards the capital, and saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

The Qin family members came out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at about seven o'clock. They have been walking for an hour and a half. The weather is still very hot in July. After walking all the way, they are already very thirsty.

The eldest aunt saw that there was a tea shed in front of her and just wanted to drink water. She also saw that Mrs. Lu was stumbling, so she begged an official in front of her, "Uncle, can you stop at the tea shed in front and let us rest and drink water." "

The official snorted coldly, "How long have we been walking before we want to take a rest? If so, when can we reach Yazhou?"

"We can't rest now. We'll have to wait until the sun is shining at noon."
