Chapter 205: Cannon Fodder in the Confiscated Property and Exile Story 10
Jiang Ping could only desperately beg for mercy.
Although Aunt Wang had blocked her upper body, her arms and legs still had nowhere to hide.
Moreover, because Aunt Wang was pressing down on her, she couldn't run away even if she wanted to, like meat on a chopping board with nowhere to escape.
Finally, the soldiers stopped cracking their whips.
"See? This is what happens when you cause trouble. A prisoner still wants to see a doctor, a bunch of traitors, they all deserve to die. Even if I beat you all to death today, it's your own fault."
"None of you should cause trouble. If anyone dares to cause trouble, their fate will be even worse."
Everyone else saw how badly the three of them were beaten.
His body was covered in blood and gore.
No one dared to speak up, and no one stepped forward to help.
With Aunt Wang on top of her, Jiang Ping couldn't get up at all.
She could no longer feel her lower body.
I'm completely numb from the pain.
Aunt Wang's back was also whipped until it was torn and bleeding, her legs were still being pressed down by Jiang Ping, and she couldn't straighten her upper body.
Jiang Yangyi was also suffering, being pinned to the ground and whipped until his body was covered in bruises.
It was quite a struggle for him to get up.
Seeing his aunt and sister lying motionless on the ground, he quickly pushed himself over and helped his aunt up.
Jiang Ping's legs were in so much pain that she couldn't stand up.
Moreover, she felt very dizzy, but the pain also made her very alert.
Seeing the way the group was acting, Li felt very pleased.
Let's see how she tries to seduce the master now.
Moreover, in this state, it's unlikely they'll even make it to the place of exile.
They died on the road, and no one came to collect their bodies. They were left to rot in the wilderness. This is the fate of despicable people.
The officers and soldiers moved everything out of the Prime Minister's residence.
The front yard was piled high with them.
The boxes were counted and loaded onto the truck one by one.
Because a lot of things were found during the raid, the officers and soldiers didn't pay much attention to the jewelry people were wearing.
They also knew that they must have some silver hidden on them.
However, they did not intend to loot everything.
These people will then have to go to prison and on their way to exile.
Let's also leave some profit for the brothers in those places.
Everyone felt that many of these things were missing, but the officers and soldiers didn't mention it, and no one dared to say anything at this moment.
He was afraid of offending the soldiers, which would ultimately result in him being whipped.
I don't know who harbored them. If I reveal it, they might be pinned on them for harboring them.
If it were stolen by a servant in the mansion, reporting it wouldn't do any good.
If these officers and soldiers were secretly hiding the loot and planning to divide it among themselves, then reporting this would be like inviting trouble.
Anyway, these things don't belong to them anymore, so even if someone steals them, it has nothing to do with them.
Those items that were counted, registered, and packed into boxes.
Jiang He began the recycling process.
They only picked out small trinkets, and didn't touch the larger items that were on the surface.
That way, if something is missing when it's put into storage, suspicion will only fall on these officers and soldiers.
Even those who steal from their superiors will be punished.
Jiang He wasn't avenging Jiang Ping and the others; she was avenging her parents from her past life.
They were all taken to prison, and the whole family was locked up together.
The families imprisoned next to them were several others whose homes had also been ransacked and who had been exiled.
In the prison cell, they were only given a bucket of porridge and a bowl of steamed buns.
Other people who saw these things didn't want to eat them.
They had never eaten anything like this in their lives.
They would rather go hungry than eat this.
This is because they are not hungry enough and can still endure it, which is why they have the backbone to say they won't eat.
Later on, they all proved wrong and started scrambling to eat it.
Only Jiang He's family of three scooped up some porridge from their bowls.
This porridge was really thin, just watery broth.
The top part was water. Sun scooped it up from the bottom of the bucket and scooped out all the rice from underneath.
"He looks so poor and stingy. I don't know how there could be such a poor and stingy person in our Prime Minister's residence."
He even enjoyed his prison food.
“Some people are used to hardship, so they probably think prison food is delicious.”
The three of them squatted there, ignoring the sarcasm and ridicule from others.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had heard this kind of talk many times and didn't care at all.
If someone is locked up here and still has unrealistic fantasies, then they're truly a fool.
Being criticized won't hurt me, so let them be. If they don't eat it, I can have a couple more steamed buns.
You need to be well-fed to have the energy to travel.
Jiang Yangyi also came over and scooped up some porridge.
My aunt and sister are not doing well, so I'm feeding them some porridge.
Jiang Yangyi dared not go to the soldiers again this time, fearing he would be beaten again.
Then they really couldn't take it anymore.
Jiang Ping drank some porridge.
It was supposed to be porridge, but there wasn't a single grain of rice in it, just some water.
Her throat hurts.
Drinking some water to soothe your throat is also good.
Jiang Ping sat leaning against a corner of the cell and drank two bowls of porridge. She soaked a steamed bun in the porridge until it was mushy and ate a little of it.
Otherwise, you can't eat it by hand.
Aunt Wang forced herself to eat some as well.
She can't be hurt. If something happens to her, what will happen to her two children?
After a while, they came to collect the porridge buckets and basins.
Regardless of whether you ate it or how much you ate, it all has to be taken away now.
Jiang He and his family of three ate their fill.
The others were starving.
But even if they wanted to eat it now, there wouldn't be any left.
They only give you two meals a day in the prison.
When the second meal arrived, everyone else contradicted themselves and came over to take porridge and steamed buns.
They were all vying to come up.
Then the porridge bucket was overturned.
It was Jiang Yangxu who spilled the porridge bucket.
The porridge bucket was overturned, and since no one had served themselves, there was nothing to eat.
The eldest wife complained about Jiang Yangxu, saying, "All you ever do is squeeze in!"
Wouldn't it be better if he came to get his after they've finished?
They insisted on coming over to grab it, and now look what happened, they've overturned the whole porridge bucket.
No one needs to eat anymore.
Seeing the first wife's attitude, the second wife retaliated without hesitation.
If it weren't for the eldest son's family, they wouldn't have ended up in prison.
Ultimately, wasn't the fact that their home was raided and they were exiled because the eldest son's family chose the wrong side?
This is all owed to them by the eldest son's family.
The eldest son's family doesn't keep a low profile; instead, they're here arguing with them.
The porridge bucket was overturned. Jiang He and the other two looked regretfully at the porridge spilled on the ground and could only eat the steamed buns next to them.
In a little while, people will probably start scrambling for steamed buns.
This steamed bun fell on the ground. Should I eat it or not?
Seeing Jiang He and the other two eating steamed buns, everyone rushed towards the buns.
They were afraid that if they were any later, there wouldn't be any steamed buns left to eat.
The steamed buns were distributed according to the number of people, one for each person.
However, some members of the second branch of the family received two; both Jiang Linyun and Jiang Yangxu received two.
The eldest son's side felt they had lost out, so they took two more.
When Jiang Yangyi went to get them, there were no more steamed buns left.
The three of them don't have a single steamed bun. Aren't they going to go hungry?
"The steamed buns were meant to be one per person, but we didn't get a single one."
Jiang Yangyi wanted to take the steamed bun back.
