MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 166 Opening a new world

“There is also the one lying on the ground!” Mr. Tan pointed at the fainted waiter, “Drag him down to play twenty big boards too.”

Although Xiaoer fainted, he could not escape the punishment he was going to receive.

 The culprit has been eliminated, only...

 Plop!

 Boss Wang noticed that Mr. Tan was looking over and quickly knelt down.

Although he can be arrogant in front of people like Mr. Li, in the end he is just a civilian. When facing a high official like Mr. Tan, he seems to be a bit unworthy.

 “Master Tan, I...”

He wanted to defend, but Mr. Tan waved his hand and interrupted him.

 It seemed that he only believed what the teacher said. In fact, he had already found out what happened on the way here.

If he hadn't arrived in time, Boss Wang might have taken action against the teachers.

It’s just that Boss Wang hasn’t hurt anyone yet, so he can’t be accused without reason.

“If Master Tan and that master don’t mind me, I’m willing to apologize to a few of you.”

Having been a boss for so long, Boss Wang could still guess a little bit of Mr. Tan's struggles, so he quickly gave him a step back.

"No!"

Mr. Tan, however, waved his hand and looked at Mr. Chen, "I have already held a banquet at home. Teacher and Mistress, if you don't mind, please move away."

 “How could it be?” Mr. Chen waved his hand.

 “In addition, what does the teacher plan to do with this person...”

 Master Tan still couldn't think of a good solution in the end, so he could only ask Master Chen for advice.

Master Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Why don't we let him give out porridge in the city so that beggars like him can have a bite to eat."

Master Tan nodded. When he was the county magistrate, he solved the beggar problem so that the people in the county could eat. However, there were still many beggars from outside entering the city.

 He was able to prevent the people under his rule from being displaced, but he was unable to ensure that people in other areas had food to eat.

 In short, Mr. Chen’s punishment not only vents his anger, but also brings benefits to the people.

　　 Kill two birds with one stone.

Master Tan sighed in his heart, he is worthy of Master Chen.

“The little one understood, the little one immediately asked people to give him porridge.”

When Boss Wang heard Master Chen's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly to agree, for fear that they would regret it.

And he kept yelling in his heart, he is crazy.

With such a high status, why would you deliberately wear such clothes to test him?

 Isn’t this intentional?

However, he did not know that Mr. Chen had already been deprived of his official position at this time, so he could only wear such simple clothes.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Tan Shuxian will take Mr. Chen and his family back home.

After they left, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief and started talking.

“That person is actually the teacher of the county magistrate?”

“That’s right, you can’t even tell if you wear this kind of clothes.”

“I don’t know who the magistrate’s teacher is?”

 “You should be a very high official in the capital!”

There was a person in the crowd with a strange face, and he wanted to rush out and tell everyone that the teacher of the county magistrate was not a high official at all, but an exiled prisoner.

 But when he thought about his mission, he chose to shut up.

 Actually, if he could solve Chen Yuan by speaking, he would speak without hesitation.

 After all, although he has been prepared for it for a long time and was trained as a dead soldier, he still hesitates when it comes to actual action.

 But he quickly strengthened his belief and hid in the crowd again, waiting for the opportunity.

Mr. Chen and his entourage arrived at Tan Shuxian’s home. The servants had already prepared bath water and new clothes.

After several people took a bath and changed clothes, they entered the banquet.

Tan Shuxian took Mr. Chen to reminisce about old times, while Chen Xue and her mother concentrated on the delicious food.

 …

 “Damn it!”

 Outside the city, among the exiled troops, Zhang Yiquan looked at the porridge in the bowl, filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy.

Why, why are they also exiled people, they can only eat steamed buns and drink porridge, while the Chen family can go to the city, eat well, drink well, and go shopping.

Had he not been able to contact Jingcheng, he would have wanted to report the Chen family.

They are not in exile at all. They don't look like exile at all.

The jealous Zhang Yiquan couldn't eat at all, so he gave the porridge to his son.

 However, in the middle of the night, Zhang Yiquan woke up from hunger and could not find anything to eat.

 He began to regret giving his son dinner. Where could he find food in the middle of the night?

 There was no other way, he could only imitate the ancients and make cakes to satisfy his hunger, but who knew that the more he thought about it, the more he would get hungry.

 Finally, he woke up his mother and dug some tree roots for him.

Although Zhang Yiquan didn’t want to eat it, he couldn’t help it in the end.

After taking a bite, he felt inexplicably delicious, as if he had opened up a new world.

 …

 The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Xue's family got up early and had a delicious breakfast.

I slept very comfortably last night and took a hot bath. The fatigue from the journey disappeared instantly.

Although they can take a hot bath every night and sleep comfortably, they are sleeping in a space, and they still have a little worry that the space will be exposed.

Now you don’t have to worry about that at the county magistrate’s residence.

Tan Shuxian also wanted Mr. Chen and his family to rest for one more day, but Mr. Chen refused. The exile team had already been delayed a lot of time, and if it was delayed for one more day because of waiting for them, everyone would be punished by then.

And if this matter reaches the capital, his opponents will definitely make a fuss again.

Tan Shuxian also thought of this, so instead of persuading him, he asked someone to pull a cart full of supplies.

“Teacher, the southern barbarians have a long way to go, so these materials can be of some help.”

Mr. Chen took a look and saw that it was not boxes of money, but some food, medicinal materials, and clothing.

However, before leaving, Tan Shuxian handed Chen Xue a bag of silver. Although it was not much, there were dozens of taels. For Tan Shuxian, who was neither greedy nor robbing and had only been in office for a short period of time, and only received a salary, it was considered a lot. .

 “Most of the disciples’ money was sent home, so…”

Tan Shuxian said a little embarrassedly, but Master Chen shook his head and motioned Chen Xue to return the money to Tan Shuxian.

Although he is called "penniless" by others, to be honest, he is really not poor. His daughter has moved all the money here.

Compared to himself, Tan Shuxian has an old mother, is young and has not yet married, and his salary is not high, so he is the poorest.

"We have enough supplies." Mr. Chen pointed to the carriage, "And we are not traveling, so we don't need money."

"But you still need to take care of things on the road." Tan Shuxian advised. Although he was not greedy, he also knew that there was no money to do things, and it would be difficult to get things done without taking care of things.

Especially on the way to exile, if you don’t spend money on things, I’m afraid...

Mr. Chen had to take out Xie Yunshang’s name and tell him that several of Xie Yunshang’s men were also protecting them.

 The name of General Pingwei is naturally known to everyone.

 So, Tan Shuxian felt relieved.

 Chen Xue's family returned to the team, and Xu Tian had already asked everyone to pack their things and prepare to set off.

 Tan Shuxian also invited Xu Tian to dinner yesterday, but after the meal Xu Tian said he was worried about the exiled team and came back. Tan Shuxian also sent a Yamen servant to help look after the team.

 Seeing that the Chen family would bring back a carriage almost every time they went out, everyone was immediately envious.

PS: Is anyone watching?
