Chapter 5: Starting with Raiding and Exile 2
Soon everyone was thrown into prison and exiled the next day. It wasn't just Jiang's family that was exiled; there were also three other families: the Gu family, the He family, and the Yang family, all of whom were minor officials.
The entire clan was exiled, including a large number of collateral relatives and illegitimate children, making up a grand exile procession of 4.5 people.
The original Jiang family belonged to the main branch, and there were also the second and third branches, which were sons of the old master Jiang's concubines. However, they were separated by the old lady Jiang early on. There were also some collateral branches within the five clans. As for the married daughters, they were spared.
Qingmo was also helpless. She wanted to run away as soon as she transmigrated, but this was ancient times, an era where imperial power was supreme. Where could she run to?
In ancient times, without household registration documents, one could not move an inch. One could only wait five years for the old emperor to pass away and for the new emperor to ascend the throne and grant a general amnesty.
Looking at the hundreds of wooden crates in the space warehouse, she instantly felt that she was capable again. No pain, no gain.
Anyway, she has supplies in her space, so she can still live comfortably. She also wants to take over all the warehouses in the mansion, but is it reasonable for others to find nothing when they raid a house?
If things went wrong, she would be exiled or beheaded. Although she loved money, she loved her life even more.
Outside the Shili Pavilion in Shangjing, relatives from various families came to deliver luggage and silver notes, but the Jiang family did not. They didn't know how their scumbag father could be so bad. Bah, what a rotten person.
My feet were blistered from walking all morning, so during my lunch break I secretly put two sanitary napkins in my shoes, and they made me feel much more comfortable.
The escorting officers and soldiers were given a hard, black steamed bun. Qingmo secretly covered it with her sleeve and replaced it with a steamed bun from her spatial storage. It was alright, just a bit dry.
After all, who eats steamed buns without having some side dishes?
Female prisoners were all handcuffed, while male prisoners were handcuffed and shackled. They could remove them, but they had to pay money and go thirty miles outside of Beijing.
Qingmo secretly ate a Power Pill and a Body Strengthening Pill this morning. Although she's not as delicate as before, she's still tired. Power Pills can't make you walk for so long without getting tired, but they do improve her physical fitness a lot.
Thirty miles outside of the capital, Qingmo found fifty taels of silver and used it to remove the handcuffs from the officials, feeling much more comfortable.
She used her mind to organize the items in the space. There were a total of more than 52,000 taels of silver notes, most of which were found in the First Madam's room. She had become rich overnight.
Most people had some silver notes on them, which they secretly hid in their undergarments. When their homes were searched, they wouldn't be stripped naked; they would only take their jewelry and silver.
Her adoptive parents didn't give Qingmo a single glance the whole way, until they saw her remove her handcuffs. Immediately, Aunt Xu and her younger brother came over.
Aunt Xu: "Mo'er, where did you get the money to remove your handcuffs? Do you have any silver hidden on you? Quickly take it out and give it to your mother."
Qingmo looked at Aunt Xu with a cold expression, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Aunt Xu grabbed Qingmo's sleeve and started searching her body.
"You brat, can't you hear me? You've gotten too bold! You dare to leave? Hand over the money."
Qingmo slapped Aunt Xu across the face, making her head buzz. After all, this was Popeye, the Sailor Man who had taken a power pill.
Qingmo is really irritable. Starting with exile is not a good start at all. It's completely different from what she expected. After walking for so long, she really feels like dying.
She'd never walked this far even in modern times, and it's July now, scorching hot, she's completely wilted, and yet Xu Shi still comes jumping around in front of her, it's really hard not to take action.
Aunt Xu was a little dazed from the beating. When she came to her senses, she went berserk. She had actually been beaten by her eldest daughter, who was usually so quiet that she wouldn't even utter a sound after being hit three times with a stick.
Xu: "You dare hit me? You dare hit your mother? You wretched girl, are you crazy? I'll beat you to death today!" After saying that, she rushed forward to hit Qingmo.
With a spray of foam, Qingmo kicked Xu Shi two meters away, knocking out one of her front teeth.
"You think I'll just hit you whenever I want? Do you need to pick a day? I don't know if I'm shameless or not, but I think you're pretty shameless. Get lost and don't mess with me."
Xu was kicked so hard she couldn't get up for a long time, and the original owner's younger brother was so frightened he stood there stunned.
He never imagined that his usually quiet second sister would beat their mother so ruthlessly. He thought that if she beat their mother, she wouldn't beat him, right?
The people around didn't dare to make a sound. After all, this girl was no pushover; she had kicked a man weighing about 100 pounds two meters away.
Fortunately, it's dinner time now, so it won't delay our journey. Unless someone gets killed, the officials won't interfere. But if someone causes trouble while we're on the road, they'll get a few lashes.
The Jiang family members all glanced at Qingmo, but no one said anything. After all, it was obvious that this second girl was different and had become difficult to provoke.
Even the original owner's father only glanced at Qingmo before ordering someone to help Aunt Xu back home.
