Chapter 36 Arrival at the Post Station
Whether it was Li Yuntai's recruitment or the Shen family's humble request for help, it was just a minor episode to them. Under the urging of the escorts, the exile team moved again.

These people have been living a life of luxury for years, and each one is more delicate and petite than the other, especially those women who are kept in seclusion and never go out of the house. Walking so much has already exceeded their limits.

But then, no matter how they begged or how much they complained about the hardship and fatigue, the escorts did not let them stop to rest.

It was not until the end of the You hour, when the sky had completely darkened, that the team of hundreds of people arrived at the Daze County Post Station. By then, everyone was exhausted, but it was not so easy for them to rest.

"Behave yourself, everyone. If anyone dares to run away, I will break his legs."

At the post station, the escorts untied the ropes for them one by one. Zhao Shan stood in the front and warned them fiercely. He made sure that they all listened to him before continuing, "If you need a separate room or want to eat something good, you can find the post station officials. As long as you have money, you can have everything. If you don't want to spend money, you can sleep in the courtyard or stay in the woodshed. In addition, you don't seem to like the steamed buns we distribute. From now on, we will no longer distribute them one by one. If you need them, come to us and get them yourself."

According to the rules, exiles cannot book a room alone, but rules are dead and people are alive. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can choose any room in the post station. This is also one of the main sources of income for them and the post station officials.

Can I book a separate room?
Hearing this, many people laughed as if they were relieved. At least they could sleep well at night, right?

"Sir, how much is a private room?"

There were also some people with more flexible minds who grasped the key point. Given their current situation, the price would definitely not be cheap, so it would be better to ask clearly.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears quietly. They had just been exiled and hadn't really suffered any hardship. They all had some money in their hands, so if possible, they would of course like to get a room alone.

"One room costs thirty taels of silver, no matter how many people you have."

Zhao Shan did not answer. The official at the post station rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"What?!" Thirty taels? Why didn't he just go and rob?
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Thirty taels of silver, could their room be inlaid with gold and silver?
"Sir, thirty taels is too much. Can you give me less?"

After a short silence, someone asked tentatively, they did have some money, but they all had families to support, and today was only the first day, and they had already spent all their money, so what would they do in the future? Even though most of them had no concept of money, they knew that they had to save some, otherwise they would die on the road to exile.

"You think it's too expensive? The woodshed is free, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this, the officials at the post station pretended to turn around, with an extremely arrogant attitude. They knew better than anyone that these people had just been exiled, they were rich and could not stand the hardship, so if they didn't kill them now, when would they?
"···"

The post station suddenly fell silent, and many people couldn't help but have red eyes. They didn't want to cry, but were angry. Before being exiled, they were all children of powerful families. How could they have been ridiculed and despised like this?

However, the situation was stronger than the people. In less than a day, the escorts had taught them how to bow their heads and how to swallow their anger.

"and many more."

Ignoring the others, Shen Xiangwan stopped the post station official, walked up to him, took out a silver note of 100 taels and handed it to him: "I want two rooms, can I choose the upstairs?"

She had plenty of money, and thirty taels or three taels made no difference to her. Instead of staying here and listening to them arguing, she might as well find a quiet room to rest. She was tired after walking for a whole day.
