"stop."

"People in front, stop."

The people chasing behind shouted loudly and quickly caught up with them.

There were more than ten riders in total, all wearing official uniforms.

Yan Ruoli recognized the official uniform, which should be worn by the imperial guards of the capital.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the police officer from Anluzhou, and it was not the incident last night that came to light.

You Yong recognized the visitor, raised his hand to stop the exile team, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Master Lin, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has a decree for Gao Sheng and his family to return to the capital."

He opened the imperial edict and read out the decree.

You Yong and other officials and exiled prisoners all knelt down to receive the order, and the scene suddenly became dark and a large area of ​​people knelt down.

When the Gao family heard that they could go back, they were so happy that they cried with joy.

Great, the emperor has changed his mind and will not exile them.

They can go back and live a stable life again.

Master Lin saw that there were still many people who did not kneel down and asked, "Master You, who are they?"

You Yong glanced at Shi Xuan and others and said, "They are merchants passing by, not exiles."

Master Lin saw that the imperial edict was only for the Gao family, and others did not need to accept it. It didn't matter whether he knelt or not, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After he read out the imperial edict, he said, "Where is Gao Sheng? Come and receive the edict."

You Yong looked troubled and said: "Master Lin, you don't know. Master Gao accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms a few days ago and was unfortunately poisoned to death. His mother was also poisoned along with him."

Master Lin was shocked: "What did you say? The person who was poisoned to death was Gao Sheng? No..."

Having said that, he stopped abruptly.

Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun were both sitting on the carriage.

They had been busy all night last night and were a little tired, so they did not ride horses today, but sat in the car to adjust their breath.

Lord Lin came to announce the decree, but they all sat in the carriage and did not show up, so Lord Lin did not see them.

When Lord Lin first arrived, Ye Weiyun quietly told Yan Ruoli that Lord Lin was from the prince's side.

At this time, hearing what Master Lin blurted out, the two of them knew very well what the second half of what Master Lin had not finished said.

He must be thinking that the people who were poisoned to death were not the young Marquis and his mother?

It seems that the person who investigated last time told the prince wrong information after returning to the capital, so the prince sent Master Lin and his party to take Gao Sheng's family back.

Gao Sheng's mission has been completed. He no longer needs to be exiled. He must be taken back to be comforted or disposed of.

As for the imperial edict, I don’t know what excuse the prince used to get it.

Or is it a false edict?

Or maybe this matter was basically discussed between the father and son in the palace?

You Yong didn't know the secret behind this, so he told the truth: "Yes, it was Master Gao and his mother Liu who were poisoned to death by poisonous mushrooms."

Master Lin had a strange expression on his face. He glanced back and forth among the exiles and asked, "Where are the young Marquis and his family? Why aren't they there?"

What made him especially afraid was that he asked about the Ye family. After all, it was against the rules to allow exiled prisoners to ride in carriages.

You Yong had no choice but to answer: "The young Marquis is not in good health. He can hardly hold on during this trek. It happened that these merchants had carriages, so they arranged one for him to ride on. His family took care of him on the carriage."

While they were negotiating, Yan Ruoli had already taken out a bottle of potion from the space and smeared it on Ye Weiyun's face.

When she heard You Yong's words, she opened the curtains, revealing Ye Weiyun's yellow, terminally ill face.

Ye Weiyun was dying and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. Mr. Lin, please forgive me for not being able to greet you. I don't know if I can hold on to Nanzhou."

Master Lin originally wanted to reprimand him, but he was not used to exiled prisoners in horse-drawn carriages.

But after seeing Ye Weiyun's big yellow face and hearing him say something that he was afraid of not being able to follow the next sentence, he swallowed the reprimanded words hard.

He said coldly: "They are prisoners after all. Even if they can't walk, they can't take a carriage. They can take a handcart. Let his family push him."

You Yong said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is right. We are going to buy a trolley in the city ahead, but these merchants have carriages, so we will let him sit first. Otherwise, it will delay the entire team's trip."

Master Lin didn't say anything more, and said calmly: "I took the Gao family away, you can continue on your way."

After saying that, he led the Gao family back.

The Gao family followed him happily.

Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun watched them off in the carriage. Not far away, Master Lin said something to a subordinate, and the subordinate raised his whip and whipped the horse away quickly.

Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli looked at each other, and they both saw danger in each other's eyes.

Mr. Lin discovered that the news was wrong and that Ye Weiyun and Cheng Zhilan were not dead. He must have sent someone to bring the news back quickly.

So what action will the prince take next?

He will definitely send powerful killers to assassinate them, and the new people sent will definitely be much more powerful than the last group of people.

They cannot sit still.

After Master Lin left with the Gao family, You Yong looked at the remaining people and let out a long breath.

No officer escorting prisoners has ever been so unlucky as him. Prisoners disappeared one after another.

The Li family had just been taken away yesterday, and the Gao family had also been taken away today. In fact, the only ones left were the Ye family.

Although in their hearts, Ye Linjiang's family is no longer the Ye family, but his surname is still Ye after all.

Ye Linjiang and others felt even more panicked.

There were two other families walking with them before, but now that they were all gone and they were the only ones left, they seemed particularly miserable.

The eldest sister-in-law's family are also exiled prisoners, but they can ride in a luxury carriage. In comparison, he is really miserable.

Why, he was the one who was implicated, and he didn't break the law.

After Master Lin and others disappeared, the exile team started to set off again.

At noon, they came to a small town.

Yan Ruoli suggested to You Yong: "Master You, you see we have wasted a lot of time along the way. Now, we can all speed up. The only ones holding us back are them."

She glanced towards Ye Linjiang.

Ye Linjiang heard what she said and was shocked by what she said.

No way?In order to prevent others from holding them back, the officials wouldn't kill them, right?

He suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Everyone knows that the journey to exile for prisoners is very difficult, and it is normal for them not to be able to reach the place of exile alive.

If You Yong dislikes them and kills them, there is absolutely no problem.

You Yong also disliked Ye Linjiang's family.

Although he knew that the time wasted earlier was mainly because Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli had nothing to do with Ye Linjiang, he couldn't say anything and could only bully Ye Linjiang and others.

Seeing Ye Linjiang's fear, You Yong said deliberately: "Yes, they are the only ones holding us back. There must be a solution for those who hold us back."

Ye Linjiang was so frightened that his calves trembled and he almost knelt down to beg.
