Chapter 441 She will only be our host
"Miss, there is someone following us secretly." Chen Lu saw that there was no one, so he spoke
"who?"
"This person has no ill intentions, he just followed us all the time, and also met Miss Baizhi and the others," said Chen Lu
That's ok, I guess they know each other.
"It's okay, just be careful on the way. Just call me by my name, I won't tell my brother." Wen Jiu said with a smile
"Yes," Chen Lu responded quickly. After being reminded by the wine, he straightened his body and dared not show his respect for the young lady. If they could insert others, it might not be impossible. The young lady was right.
In fact, Wen Jiu didn't think so much. This person walked and stopped along the way. She believed in her brother, and even more in Gu Xiao's methods. She thought that since he wanted the little brother to stay, he would definitely let the little brother rest assured. The last siege must have been to strangle the hidden equipment inside! Even if someone wanted to plant it and had already left the capital, they would not waste that effort. The court would be so lively now.
"Let's repair here and hurry up tomorrow morning. After we cross that mountain, we will enter the territory of Qiongzhou." After Chen Lu finished speaking, everyone sat down on the ground tiredly. Looking in the direction he just pointed, they understood that this would be their home for the rest of their lives!
At this time, a carriage followed and entered the dilapidated temple.
The man looked at Wen Jiu and did not speak directly to him. Instead, he said to Chen Lu, "Sir, I am passing by here. Can you please let me squeeze in with you? Otherwise, I have nowhere to go. I am afraid, and my son is even worse."
"........" Chen Lu didn't want to pay attention to him. A grown man said he was afraid. Forget it. Considering that he had a child and might get to know the young lady, he agreed.
At night, everyone went to sleep
"owner"
"..."
Wen Jiu looked at the silent Zhao Ruying and raised his eyebrows. He hadn't seen this child for a year or two. She had grown taller and her youthfulness had faded. "How come you don't call me mother anymore?" Wen Jiu teased him.
"Boss, I was ignorant before and missed my mother's love too much." Zhao Yingru blushed and scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Okay, Zhao Lang, shouldn't you be doing sea business? Why are you here?" Wen Jiu asked in confusion.
"Go back to the boss, we heard about it..., so I asked Li Gao to take Jiaming to the sea first, I'll come to see if there's anyone who needs help." Zhao Lang and the others were very anxious when they heard it, Li Gao said that they would take a long-term view, so he could only come here with his son first.
"I'm fine. If I want to leave, no one can stop me. It's just that my grandfather doesn't want to be charged with any crime." No one could stop Wen Jiu.
"But this journey has been really hard. How can the boss endure this hardship?" Zhao Lang looked at the stunning woman in front of him. She was so delicate and pampered before. How could this spoiled young lady endure this journey?
"I am a little tired, but it's okay. Since you are here, I don't need to send you a message. You can take Ruying to Qiongzhou first. I want to do business there. I don't want to suffer there." Wen Jiu smiled
Zhao Lang was flustered by the smile, but was brought back to his senses by Zhao Ruying's bump. "Yes, then I'll leave a few people to protect you."
"We will probably be able to enter Qiongzhou tomorrow. The journey has not been smooth, but we have come here too," Wen Jiu said softly.
Zhao Lang understood that someone was secretly protecting her and them, so he said with a bitter smile.
The next day, before daybreak, the owner of the carriage left, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion, as they thought he was really staying overnight.
"Father, even if the princess has become an exile, you can't expect her to be with you. Her brother is still the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is said that Prince Rui and the East Factory Supervisor are both taking good care of her." Zhao Ruying said with a serious face.
"Oh, you are so sensible now? I am not stupid, so I understand. I have understood it for a long time." He understood it a long time ago, but he did not see Mr. Su San this time. The princess said that there were bandits on the way, so he did not ask any more. But he could clearly know that this master attached great importance to his family. Judging from her current appearance, Mr. Su San must have gone somewhere else.
"She only knows our boss." Zhao Lang didn't know who he was talking to. Maybe he was talking to himself, or maybe he was talking to his past self.

Seven more days passed
"Jiu'er, are you tired?" Su Jinyu felt distressed
"Brother, I'm fine. You take care of grandpa. We're just ahead at Qiongzhou Prefecture." Wen Jiu was not really tired. She just wanted to have a good sleep. She was too sleepy. She wanted to sleep regardless of day or night.
"Brother, this is the list of these exiles." Chen Lu showed it to the soldier guarding the gate. The man took a look at the list. Someone else went to call out the names, but he hesitated. Chen Lu understood and secretly stuffed five taels of silver into the man's pocket. The man hurriedly said, "Well, we've called the names. Let's hurry up. We've been traveling all the way here, too. Let us pass!"
"Thank you, Brother Cha, hurry up and catch up," Chen Lu shouted.
"It's finally here, woo woo woo, mother,"
The exiles cried, some for their parents, some for their siblings, and some for their children. No one was relieved. Although they survived, what should they do in the future? What should they do?
"Brother Chen, I'm going to the government office first."
"Well, run faster."
Chen Lu and his companions walked at a moderate pace. Soon, the government officials arrived. Chen Lu was also stunned.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I am the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and my surname is Chen." Prefect Chen smiled kindly.
"I didn't know it was the Prefect Chen. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. How could he be the County Magistrate..." Chen Lu was wondering why he was not the County Magistrate. Even the position of County Deputy would be appropriate. How could he be the Prefect?
"Hahaha, I'm here to see County Magistrate Jiang. He's already seriously ill. Now that the official notice has been posted, I just happened to come and see him today." Prefect Chen laughed and talked about County Magistrate Jiang's illness.
"I am very worried. I don't know what happened to the county magistrate. I also know many people in Beijing. Maybe I can help the magistrate." Chen Lu thought about finding a doctor and applying for a good place for his two elder sisters.
"Yes, yes, yes, please ask for me. As long as we can cure the disease, even if it's just ordinary people like you, this government can give you the status of good citizens." These people were surprised by what Prefect Chen said. What did County Magistrate Jiang have that made Prefect Chen make such a big promise?
"Sir, the prefect, this Jiang County Magistrate...but these exiled prisoners..." Chen Lu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Oh, this, the exiles in Qiongzhou are different from those in other places. This place is just poor. The original official document here is to record merits for labor. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the government can give them good status. The Junior Master has also implemented it early. Once it is found that the people who have been granted good status have made serious mistakes, they will be exiled to that place. All officials of all sizes will be exiled." Prefect Chen was telling them
"So that's how it is," Chen Lu was chatting with him.
Su Jinyu and Wen Jiu looked at each other.
"What are the symptoms of County Magistrate Jiang?" Chen Lu was so anxious that he wanted to seek benefits for the young lady.
"Jiang County Magistrate has been working for the country and the people. I don't know if he has worked too hard. This government has never seen such symptoms before. The doctors here have limited medical skills."
Wenjiu took a step forward, wanting to hear
"He has abdominal pain. He could bear it two days ago, but today he is sweating all over. He almost bit his tongue and rolled on the ground. I can only give him painkillers, so this government..."
"It's appendicitis," Wen Jiu blurted out. Originally, Wen Jiu didn't want to say it, but after hearing what the nagging prefect said, he was in so much pain that he would probably die soon if he didn't get treatment.
"What color?" the prefect looked at Wen Jiu and asked
"Also called intestinal carbuncle" warm wine back
"Ah, intestinal abscess, it can't be cured, it's an incurable disease!" After all, these exiles came from the capital, so they naturally had more experience than those in the remote countryside.
Everyone was unhappy. This is an incurable disease. No wonder he was given a good status.
There were people who knew medicine and were eager to try it, but when they heard it was this disease, they immediately gave up the idea
