In order to better govern the country, China formulated a series of laws and regulations in ancient times, in which the state will adopt different punishment methods for different criminal means.
Some punishments are still within the scope of the human body, but some punishments can cause serious damage to the human body. Among these forms of punishment, there is a form of punishment called exile, which in most cases targets the relatives of prisoners and exiles them.
In ancient times, it was usually thousands of miles to escort exiled female prisoners back and forth, but the servants all wanted to fight to go, why was this?

Exile first appeared in the late period of clan society, after which there were also records of exile in The history of our country, but not every dynasty has a punishment of "exile".
"Exile" was really incorporated into the law during the Sui Dynasty, and according to the official remains of successive dynasties, the penal colonies of criminals in each dynasty were different, but these places all had one thing in common - very remote and barren.
When prisoners are escorted to their destination, they have two options, one is to join the army to guard the border, and the other is to reclaim the wasteland. There are also dynastic exiles who may have become slaves.
For modern people, a distance of thousands of miles seems to be nothing, but for the ancients, thousands of miles of distance means that there may be no way to see their families in this life, plus most prisoners need to wear heavy shackles, many people can be described as tortured on the road, which makes prisoners on the road either find ways to escape, or find ways to find death, so as to avoid facing the next torture.

Those sentenced to exile do suffer a lot, and although the servants do not need to wear heavy shackles like prisoners, they still encounter various situations on the road, so many servants will use various means to avoid becoming exiles as much as possible. However, when the prisoners sentenced to exile become women, the servants will be very happy and even rush to go.
As for the servants, they would rush to escort the female prisoners, mainly because most of these female prisoners were also the wives of the commandments or the women of the official family, and they met many people when they were developed, plus the prisoners usually had some protégés, and these people usually took some money to make sure that the family members of the prisoners could suffer less on the road.
In addition, although the servants are also in the system, because they are relatively low-level staff, each person does not have much money for a year.
If they can take over the work of escorting female prisoners to carry out exile, they can not only get some money, but also some jewels hidden by prisoners in the process of escorting, which are usually several times higher than their own money, and the servants will naturally go happily.
Another important reason is that although the conditions on the way to exile are relatively poor, they are much freer than life in the county, and for those officials who have a good sense of the world, escorting people sentenced to popularity is equivalent to "public-funded tourism".
The most important thing is that female prisoners are not very strong in personal combat compared to male prisoners, and they do not need to worry about female prisoners killing themselves at all times, so many servants will rush to escort female prisoners.

Exile is a relatively important punishment in ancient times, although this punishment is not as bloody as the "death penalty", but its cruelty is not less than the "death penalty", otherwise there would not be so many people in history who died of exile.
For those exiled female dependents, they will be very distressed when they learn that they have been sentenced to exile, but for those female prisoners who have helped to take care of them, their exile journey may be better, after all, the servants will also help in the money.
As for the women prisoners who are completely neglected, a large part of them will die on the road, and even if they do not die on the road of exile, they will lose their lives due to overwork, which is really very pitiful.
