"Sister You San has always been by Uncle Feng's side. She is a capable person. Her martial arts skills are not much inferior to those of the original Liu Erye. Uncle Feng now has an unusual status and takes her with him wherever he goes."
Although Shi Xiangyun had been in prison before, Baochai, Daiyu and Tanchun often visited her in prison. Naturally, they also talked about Feng Ziying's current trip to Shaanxi.
It is inevitable to talk about the various twists and turns that Feng Ziying encountered on the way to Shaanxi, including being attacked and assassinated.
Shi Xiangyun also realized that Feng Ziying was now promoted to the governor of Shaanxi and had become the most popular frontier official in the Zhou Dynasty. She even attracted unscrupulous attacks from enemies from all sides, so Sanjie You's skills were put to use. , can be said to be inseparable even for a moment.
"Sister Yun, if you follow what you said, we are all going to the bitter cold place over there, which is thousands of miles away from Xi'an. If we go there, won't we have to freeze to death and starve to death there?" The woman sitting next to Qin Keqing He couldn't bear it any longer, his face turned pale, and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes. "I thought that after leaving the prison, I could find a place in the countryside, as long as I could live a stable life, even if it was a little harder, but I never thought that Will you be sent to such a bitter and cold place?"
The woman's tearful words silenced the women on the donkey cart. It was too ignorant to say such words.
How can one be innocent after being released from prison? It's just a slight leniency given that everyone is a prisoner. Do you really think that you are an innocent citizen and can live freely like ordinary people after you leave the prison? It's too simple to think.
"Sister Mu, this kind of thing is not up to us." The woman sitting next to Shi Xiangyun was wearing a snow-white and plain skirt, and her tone was very calm, "We are all criminals, and we are guilty of the same crime. We are not going out to visit relatives and friends, but we are sent into exile. To be precise, we are all prisoners, and we will also serve our lives in the future."
The words of the woman in white made the woman who was called the sister of the Mu family even more desperate. She bit her lip and let tears fall from her cheeks, "Zhongtang, according to your wishes, we can only spend our whole lives doing hard labor in that cold and cold place. Until death? Rather than that, it would be better for me to commit suicide earlier, why bother to suffer that lifetime of suffering in vain?"
The woman's words also touched the hearts of the other women in the donkey cart. Instead of working hard all their lives with no hope, it would be better to die.
"That's not necessarily true." The woman in white shook her head, "It also depends on the intention of the court. If we wait until Jiangnan is pacified, the court may be more liberal and treat us leniently. In addition, if the court encounters a great event, maybe There will also be a general amnesty for the whole world, then we will have a chance to be pardoned, and then we can survive."
"Ah?" These words gave all the women in the car a surprise. Someone immediately asked: "Zhongtang, what kind of happy event can make the world amnesty?"
"For example, the new emperor's accession to the throne, the pacification of Jiangnan, or the defeat of the Jurchen in Jianzhou, it can all be regarded as a great joy for the court." The woman in white thought for a moment before adding: "Or it can also be regarded as the Shaanxi rebel army being completely wiped out. , it depends on what the court thinks."
Hearing the conversation between the woman in white and the women in the car, Shi Xiangyun's heart had already flown to Xi'an.
Brother Feng is in Xi'an City, and he is also the governor of Shaanxi. She is also an official, so she naturally knows the power of the governor of a province. Even the chief envoy and the inspector have a higher rank than the governor, but they still have to obey the governor's orders, because the governor is He patrols hunting on behalf of the sky, and also holds the titles of the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Brother Feng told himself before leaving the capital city that he would find a way to ensure his safety. He originally said that he would be sent to Guizhou, but now it has been changed to Shaanxi. Maybe Brother Feng played a role in it.
Shi Xiangyun still doesn't know what the final result will be after coming to Xi'an, but she has absolute confidence in Feng Ziying.
Brother Feng would never leave her alone and let her live in Suzhou, Ganzhou. This was something she was extremely confident about.
"Sister Yun, what are you thinking about?" The woman surnamed Mu, who had been complaining all the time, couldn't help asking when she saw that Shi Xiangyun had not spoken and was just staring out the window in a daze.
"Ah, it's nothing. I was just thinking that since we are all here, let's stop thinking about it. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought. There is no end to the road. We have all reached this point. What else is there? A bad situation cannot be accepted?" Shi Xiangyun said calmly.
Qin Keqing naturally understood what Shi Xiangyun said, but the other women in the car didn't quite understand. But the woman in white named Zhongtang frowned slightly, "Sister Yun, I heard that the governor of Shaanxi, Mr. Feng, and We have a close relationship with the Jia family, and you are a relative of the Jia family, so you can be considered a relative of the Jia family, maybe he can help you?"
Shi Xiangyun was shocked and quickly shook his head: "Brother Feng did help the Jia family, but I am not a Jia family, and the relationship is far apart. I am afraid that Brother Feng doesn't even know that we were sent to Shaanxi. These little things It's definitely not the governor's fault..."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't know. We have to report to the Shaanxi Punishment Bureau anyway. At that time, you might as well ask someone to bring a letter to him." The woman sitting next to the white-clothed woman is slightly older and is wearing a twilight mountain purple jacket. The young woman in the skirt took the words and hesitated for a moment before adding: "Normally we shouldn't bother others like this, but now we are in such a situation. We are all weak women. We have to go to Ganzhou and Suzhou in such a bumpy way. , I’m afraid that some of our group won’t be able to make it through..."
"Maybe we can benefit from your glory and don't have to go to the bitter cold place over there?" Qin Keqing teased Shi Xiangyun for some unknown reason.
"This is related to the fate of us people. Miss Shi must not be restrained and coy. She must beg Master Feng." The young woman in a green dress with a Buddha head sitting in the corner was not so particular. , spoke even more straightforwardly: "We are all convicts, what else can we do to keep our body and face down? If we really end up in Suzhou, Ganzhou, and if any petty official or soldier in the army wants to humiliate us, we will not do it." There is nothing you can do. Go and beg Mr. Feng at this time. He is also a relative and acquaintance of yours, Ms. Shi. It is better than calling the sky and the earth to be ineffective at that time."
The people in their carriage were all acquaintances they met in prison. After staying in the imperial prison for a long time, the control was not so strict. Later, they had time to relax, and everyone became familiar with each other after going back and forth. .
The woman surnamed Mu was Mu Han, the legitimate daughter of King Dongping. She was originally engaged to Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, but unfortunately something happened before the marriage could be consummated.
The woman in white was actually Shuitang, the biological sister of Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County. She was once regarded as a good match for Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying had never thought about marrying a martial arts woman, so she never discussed it.
This young woman in the purple skirt of Mushan is the sister-in-law of Shuitang, the princess of Shui Rong, the eldest daughter of Zhen Yingjia of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and the biological sister of Zhen Baoyu.
The young woman with the Buddha head and blue shirt is Mu Han's sister-in-law, Mu Liu, and is also the daughter of the Liu family of Duke Li.
After all, except for Shi Xiangyun and Qin Keqing, who were barely relatives, the other four women were all relatives.
This is how the Wuxuns in the capital were originally. It was the most normal thing to marry each other, but now they are both prosperous and disadvantaged. The Jiangnan conspiracy has suddenly implicated these Wuxun families.
The other women all set their sights on Shi Xiangyun, which made Shi Xiangyun feel even more pressured. However, she also knew that she could never accept this kind of thing at once, not to mention whether Feng Ziying could do it. It depends on whether there is any embarrassment in it. Although Shi Xiangyun believed that Feng Ziying would not put himself in danger, this was different from taking the initiative to ask for something.
"Sister-in-law Mu, I am afraid that this kind of thing cannot be solved by asking for help. The country has laws and the court has laws. Although Brother Feng is the governor, I am afraid there are many people below watching him. He has just arrived, how can he do it? Are you acting arbitrarily?" Shi Xiangyun saw that everyone was a little disappointed in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it in his heart: "When we get to Xi'an Mansion, I will naturally inform you. As for our fate, we may have to decide on our destiny."
It's very vague, but all the women here have experienced it in the back palace, and they can vaguely understand the meaning of Shi Xiangyun's words. As long as Feng Ziying knows that Shi Xiangyun came to Shaanxi and was exiled, what will happen? Feng Ziying must understand the operation. The only danger is that Feng Ziying only cares about Shi Xiangyun but refuses to care about others. That would be terrible.
Everyone who has been in contact with Shi Xiangyun during this time knows that she is an innocent and kind-hearted person. If she can successfully arouse her sympathy, she may be able to help find a way to stay in Guanzhong Plain no matter what happens. , don’t go to the most remote place to suffer.
The woman in white here, Shui Zhen, is the smartest. She knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and immediately changed the subject and never mentioned it again.
She understood that it was definitely impossible to ask Shi Xiangyun to show any attitude now, and it might arouse the other party's resentment. Anyway, it would take at least a month to go to Xi'an, and there would be plenty of time to grind down Shi Xiangyun.
But since that day, everyone has had some worries. It used to be that they didn't know the inner connection, so everyone was confused. But now there seems to be some hope that they can stay in Xi'an and not go to that bitter cold place. , can even be taken care of, and have the opportunity to work safely and leisurely, naturally no one is willing to give up all this.
