You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 31: Snatching supplies (Happy New Year’s Eve)

 “Master, Master, I have something to say!”

Mr. Chen suddenly became anxious. Let’s not say whether he can defeat these government officials. Even if they win, they will die.

  After all, the yamen officer was right. In the exile team, the crime of attacking an official was very serious, and they had the right to execute the prisoner.

Not to mention, they accused themselves of escaping.

No matter which one of them, these government officials have the right to kill them without punishment!

 But unless they offend the yamen servants to death, it is impossible for the yamen servants to kill people for no apparent reason. After all, their yamen servants have targets.

 The exile team must ensure that eighty or ninety percent of the people reach their destination. If too many people die, they, the government officials, will also be punished.

 So, under normal circumstances, these government officials mainly extort and exploit, and will not kill people.

 Unless Zhao Guang is in this situation.

But now, these government servants in front of them acted inexplicably, making Chen Xue and others look very ugly.

I definitely did not offend these government officials, so there is a high probability that Guo Qiang saw that Zhao Guang failed, so he asked others to take action.

 If this is the case, it will be a bit difficult to handle.

If it is just an ordinary conflict, it can be solved through bribery, but the mortal feud between them and Guo Qiang behind them cannot be reconciled.

 “It’s not that this matter cannot be accommodated!” The leading yamen officer suddenly changed his tune.

 Chen Xue and Mr. Chen looked at each other, and both saw joy and confusion in each other's eyes.

 So Master Chen stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Please let me know clearly."

"Hand over the supplies on the carriage behind you!" The government officials finally revealed their purpose. From the beginning, they had no intention of killing anyone.

 After all, there are too many prisoners around. Even if they kill the Chen family on the pretext of escaping, the prisoners around them may not believe it.

If anyone leaks the news, or if the people behind Xu Tian investigate closely, they will be dead.

Moreover, their initial goal was to collect the supplies on the Chen family’s carriage.

 “Materials?”

 Chen Xue and Mr. Chen suddenly realized that this was their purpose. If you put it this way, then they are not Guo Qiang's people.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. If they were not Guo Qiang's people, their lives would not be in danger.

 It's just that they are eyeing the supplies on the carriage, which makes it a bit difficult.

At first, a lot of supplies on the carriage had actually been put into the space by Chen Xue. If they opened it, they would definitely find that the supplies had disappeared.

 Besides, if they took away the supplies from the carriage, what would they use?

Even though Chen Xue has space, there are many things that cannot be used openly.

 If the supplies on the carriage are taken away, then the next time they eat meat or eat something good, it will arouse suspicion.

　　Since all the supplies have been taken away, where did they get the meat?

 “What? Not willing?”

The government officer snorted coldly, "I'm asking you to use supplies to buy your life. I already value you, so don't be shameless."

He didn't say something clearly, but Chen Xue and others could hear it. If they kill himself and others, they can get these materials for free.

Chen Xue and Chen Xue looked very ugly. It was impossible to fight with these government officials, and it was impossible to give them supplies.

 This is very difficult to do!

If you don't give them supplies and make them anxious, they might actually kill people.

Moreover, Zhao Guang and Xu Tian were blocked and it was impossible to help them, so they had to find a way to solve it themselves.

"The official... wants supplies, so of course we are willing to give them." Chen Xue suddenly looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry, "However, Master Yi Cheng took our money, but gave us a little supplies... this The official will definitely look down on supplies."

The yamen servant was a little baffled when he saw Chen Xue's sudden change of expression, but he just wanted to get the supplies, "It's up to us to decide whether he wants to or not."

“Then the official is coming with us.” Chen Xue led the way while pretending to be aggrieved, “The official should know that our Chen family is poor and has no money to buy supplies...”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Finally, we managed to collect the money and give it to Master Yi Cheng, but in the end, Master Yi Cheng only gave us an empty box and asked you to help us make the decision!”

When the government officials heard this, they suddenly realized that they were not at the scene at the time, so they did not know the situation clearly.

In the morning, I saw that Yi Cheng actually sent the Chen family to the carriage, and even gave him a bunch of supplies, which was a bit baffling.

 But now listening to Chen Xue's words, it is reasonable for them to spend money to buy supplies from Yi Cheng, which can explain why Yi Cheng is only so good to them.

However, they didn’t believe Chen Xue’s claim that he was tricked by Yi Cheng and that he only had a few supplies.

“Master Guan, our family is in a tight situation and we managed to scrape together a little money. As a result... please Guan Ye make the decision for us..."

"enough!"

The yamen servant interrupted Chen Xue and said that he was here to grab supplies, so why did he become the one who made the decision for them?

 Why does he not believe it because of the family's financial difficulties?

 Chen Xue saw that the yamen servant was a little impatient, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, she had already given an obvious hint.

She took the yamen servant to the old carriage, asked the servants to leave, and let the yamen servant do it himself.

The chief of the government officials winked, and soon a government official climbed onto the carriage, opened the curtain, and opened the box inside.

However, after opening it, he found that there was only a little something in the huge box, which immediately stunned the government officer.

 He ​​subconsciously opened other boxes and found the same thing. There were only a few cabbages in the huge boxes, and some were even empty.

This made the yamen servant look very ugly. He immediately ran out of the carriage and reported to the chief yamen servant.

"What?"

"empty?"

The head of the government office changed his face greatly, and the government servant quickly explained, "Brother Qian, it's not that everything is empty, but there are very few things."

What's the difference!

The head of the government office pushed him away, climbed onto the carriage, opened the box, and sure enough, he found that the box could hold more than ten kilograms of silver, with a few heads of cabbage lying quietly inside.

 Such a big box containing only a few heads of cabbage is a waste of money.

Unwilling to give up, the head of the government office opened other boxes. There was also not much in them, only a few kilograms of rice.

These few kilograms of rice didn’t even fill half of the box.

Then, he turned to look at the boxes piled high in the innermost part of the carriage. He quickly moved them down and opened them, only to find that they were empty.

 “Here comes someone!”

The head of the government office was a little angry. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and called to other men, "Bring me all the boxes inside."

Looking at the government officials carrying all the boxes down, Chen Xue, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

　　After Yi Cheng delivered the supplies to the carriage, she immediately collected them, leaving only a small amount of supplies.

 Firstly, it is safer to put it in the space. Secondly, one horse pulls two carriages. One carriage is full of people and the other is filled with supplies. This will tire the horse to death sooner or later, so the weight must be reduced.

So, Chen Xue collected the supplies, but left a few boxes with a few supplies in them as a cover-up.

Looking at it now, the previous approach was very wise. Aren’t these government officials trying to grab supplies now? Do you want empty boxes?
