"Master! This is the ration for our family!" The old man cried, covering his chest, but seeing the menacing look on his face, he still didn't dare to step forward.

Xie Yunshu had just finished eating and was looking at the persimmon tree carefully. His original intention was to draw a picture of the persimmon tree so that he could pass it around to everyone who knows about this wild fruit.

Who knew that I would see such a scene!

He thought of what Ye Zhen had just said about the fish being poisoned if not handled properly, and immediately looked at the officers and soldiers with slightly cold eyes, and said: "You just deducted food, but you actually robbed people of their rations and beat the guilty people.

, Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

When the officers and soldiers saw that it was Xie Yunshu who had spoken, they couldn't help laughing.

"Retribution? Don't you think this is funny, Mr. Xie? Prime Minister Xie is known as an upright official throughout Daxia! A good official! But in the end he ended up being beheaded! I heard that Mrs. Xie was angry to death! Your mother

He committed suicide because of his love! Even you, the best young master in the capital, had your legs broken and was exiled! What do you mean by retribution?"

As the officer and soldier spoke, several other officers and soldiers also burst into laughter.

"That's right! He's such a scholar, but he still believes in retribution! It's really funny to say that!"

Xie Yunshu heard them laughing at him so unscrupulously, his handsome face looked cold and gloomy.

When the words of reminder came to my lips, I couldn't help but swallow them tightly, tightened my thin lips, and looked at them coldly.

These officers and soldiers killed the fish and then cooked a large pot of fish soup like Ye Zhen did.

The fish soup cooked quickly and gave off a tangy aroma.

The officer and soldier grabbing the fish couldn't help but eagerly scooped up the first bowl. He didn't care about scalding it, blew it a few times and started drinking.

Several other officers and soldiers, including Yang Aofei, were not in such a hurry because they were hot.

Just when they were about to drink the fish soup, the officer and soldier who drank it first suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was twitching continuously.

Finally, he stretched out his legs, froze in place, and died suddenly on the spot.

Yang Aofei reacted first, smashed the bowl and roared: "This fish is poisonous!"

Several other officers and soldiers looked frightened and said in a low voice: "But those criminals have all eaten just now, and they are all fine - could it be Mr. Xie who said that this is retribution -"

Those officers and soldiers watched the dead officer kick the criminal and steal the fish. The criminals were fine even if they ate it, but he died after eating the fish soup.

Isn't this retribution?

retribution?

Yang Aofei doesn't believe this nonsense!

He said with a cold face: "What retribution! This fish must be poisonous!"

"But why are those criminals okay after eating them?" these officers and soldiers muttered in a low voice.

"That means someone poisoned him! It must have been the criminals who poisoned them when they were fishing just now! Bring the criminal who caught the fish over! Poison the officers and soldiers! According to the law, they can be beaten to death!" Yang Aofei said angrily

said.

Several officers and soldiers had no choice but to escort the old man who was fishing just now.

"Tell me! Did you poison the fish? It killed the officers and soldiers!" Yang Aofei asked with a vicious lie.

When the old man saw the corpses of the officers and soldiers, he was so frightened that he became paralyzed!

"Sir, please forgive me! I didn't! I really didn't! I originally wanted this fish to be my family's old snack! How could it be poisoned!" The old man knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You still talk so hard! He was foaming at the mouth when he died! He was convulsing! He was obviously poisoned! You are the only one who has touched this fish! Who else has touched this fish! Drag him out and beat him to death!" Yang Aofei concluded immediately.

"Sir, please forgive me! I really didn't poison you! Where can I find poison in this wilderness! I really didn't poison you!"

The old man kept crying and howling.

Ye Zhen was packing things in the tent when she heard the old man's miserable cries and rushed out immediately.

Seeing several officers and soldiers beating the old man, Ye Zhen immediately ran over and shouted: "Stop! What are you doing! Although we people are expelled and exiled! But you can't use lynching!"

When the old man saw Ye Zhen, he couldn't help crying and said: "Thank you, madam! I went fishing just now! The officers and soldiers obviously robbed my fish to cook, and now they have eaten it to death. This officer has to say that it was me who surrendered."

The poison will kill you! Where can I throw the poison?"

Ye Zhen was about to say that the puffer fish was poisonous and they were poisoned because of improper handling.

However, at this moment, Xie Yunshu grabbed her wrist and gave her a wink.

"I saw with my own eyes that after this uncle fished up the fish, it was snatched away by you, a subordinate! And he even kicked him! Where is the chance of poisoning? I see that you have done too many bad things! You have been punished by God! That's right!

It is said that taking away rations is like killing people's lives! Not only do you not wake up, but you also take people's lives seriously! Be careful to end up dead in the wilderness like him!"

Xie Yunshu has always been pampered since he was a child, and he has a natural dignity about him.

Yang Aofei was so frightened by him that he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Ye Zhen understood that Xie Yunshu wanted to scare Yang Aofei and get food for the guilty people.

She also echoed: "That's right! So many of us ate it! Nothing happened! Why did he, a man who did all kinds of evil, die suddenly after eating it?"

He snorted coldly and did not give any more orders to blame the old man. He said: "Drag him out and bury him! Then we are on our way."

Yang Aofei may have been frightened by the brutal death of the officer, so he actually ordered the officers and soldiers to share the food.

Each person is a dry steamed bun.

Although this food doesn't taste good, it's good for my stomach.

It's better than traveling hungry.

The group continued walking in the direction of Lingnan.

At this time, the destination is actually not far away.

The Lingnan area is hot and humid, with many mosquitoes and heavy fog, so the journey is really hard.

The group traveled day and night and finally arrived in Lingnan five days later.

They thought they could take a breather, but unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, the officers and soldiers from another group took them to a sugar cane field for hard labor.

"You will live here from now on! You have to cut sugar cane during the day and make syrup! Those who can't do the work will have no food to eat!" These officers and soldiers all hold whips dipped in salt water in their hands. If you whip them down, you can kill half a person.

Life.

Ye Zhen looked at the dark sugar cane trees in front of her and almost fainted.

Moreover, Xie Yunshu's legs and feet were inconvenient, so his movements seemed even slower when he was chopping.

"How do you work! Don't you want to eat? It's so slow!"

The officer and soldier immediately raised the whip and struck Xie Yunshu hard on the body.

Xie Yunshu immediately frowned in pain.

These people are simply cruel!

If you serve here, you may die in less than three days.

"What are you looking at! Work quickly! If you don't work, there will be nothing to eat! This is not a charity hall!" As he said that, the officer and soldier raised the whip again and struck Xie Yunshu on the body.

However, this whip did not fall on Xie Yunshu.

Ye Zhen rushed over and grabbed the whip with her hand.

The officer suddenly pulled out the whip, and Ye Zhen's hand turned red, almost bleeding.

Xie Yunshu's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Ye Zhen in disbelief.

She would actually rush out to protect him?

Xie Yunshu was shocked.

"This official! His legs and feet are inconvenient! He can't stand steadily. He needs balance when cutting sugar cane. Can you give him a job like lighting a fire?" Ye Zhen endured the pain in her palms and begged.

Originally, Xie Yunshu injured his legs and feet and could not do such heavy work.

Ye Zhen's request is reasonable and can be agreed to.

However, the officer curled his lips and sneered, and his eyes fell on Ye Zhen's face lustfully.

"What a deep love between husband and wife." The officer's eyes fell on Ye Zhen's face strangely, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and touched her face, saying, "It's not impossible to change jobs, as long as you

Follow me to the small room over there and stay for an hour, and I will give him another job when you get out."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhen's face turned dark immediately.

Xie Yunshu's face was also blue and black, so gloomy that he could shed water.

He looked at Ye Zhen and said in a deep voice: "I can do it. You go and do your work quickly."

Ye Zhen watched Xie Yunshu limping and chopping sugar cane with mixed emotions.

At this moment, the lustful official suddenly hugged Ye Zhen from behind and said eloquently: "Little lady! He is a criminal and a cripple, what are you doing with him!"

It's better to follow me, I can still let you eat delicious food here, just warm the bed, it is much more comfortable than cutting sugar cane!"

As the officer spoke, he couldn't wait to put his smelly mouth to Ye Zhen's and wanted to kiss her.

Ye Zhen was so frightened that she turned pale.

In order to avoid the trouble this appearance would bring to herself, Ye Zhen had darkened her face with cigarette ash.
