You are not exile, you are clearly traveling!

Chapter 6
"Have you heard?"

"The Chen Mansion was ransacked!"

"Really or not, isn't Mr. Chen the Minister of Household Affairs? How could it be possible..."

"What's the matter? No matter how high-ranking an official is, it's possible...I heard that Mr. Chen was imprisoned for embezzling disaster relief food, and his whole family was exiled."

"He actually embezzled disaster relief food. This is a crime worthy of death. It turned out to be just exile..."

Some people are very angry. You know, the weather has been abnormal in recent years, showing three years of drought, and then continuous heavy rains, resulting in no grain harvest and countless people starving to death.

The court finally raised food for disaster relief, but part of it was embezzled, causing more people to starve to death. How could such behavior not make the people angry?

Therefore, everyone immediately started to accuse with indignation.

"Did you know that when the Chen Mansion ransacked the house, my relatives were also there. It is said that not a penny was confiscated from the Chen Mansion."

"how can that be!"

"Didn't he say that he hid the disaster relief food at home?"

"Even if there is no relief food, there must be other food and money at home. How is it possible for a third-rank official to have no money at home?"

"I heard from my second aunt's uncle's niece's cousin that when the imperial court donated money for disaster relief, Mr. Chen donated 1 taels. It is said that Mr. Chen sold off his property and everything in the house to collect the [-] taels."

"I see, so that means we have wronged Mr. Chen?"

"But why hasn't the court released Mr. Chen?"

The people were talking a lot, and part of the latter news was naturally spread by the Censor, in order to prove it to Chen Yuan.

At the same time, he also wrote to the emperor and reported what he saw when he ransacked his house.

Golden Palace.

The emperor in a dragon robe held the memorial and frowned. This was written by the censor.

"Xiao Lizi, are you saying this is true or not? Is Chen Yuan's family really so poor?"

If it wasn't written by the impartial and strict censor, he would doubt the authenticity of this matter, but he still doubts it.

Chen Yuan was greedy, but the matter of sleeping on the bed board... and the fact that there was not even a grain of rice in the pot at home sounded a bit unbelievable.

"This……"

Xiao Lizi didn't know how to answer, so he had to pretend to be stupid.

The emperor didn't care when he didn't get an answer. He cared about the request of the imperial censor, asking for a retrial of the case.

In fact, he knew that this matter involved the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, but behind it was his second son, the second prince.

Besides, as an emperor, he could easily change the judgment he had already made.

However, the situation at Chen Yuan's home was beyond his expectation.

"never mind."

He shook his head and said, "For the sake of the imperial censor, let Chen Yuan be exiled with his family."

In normal exile, men and women are separated, and Chen Yuan will be tortured for a period of time before being exiled.

"If in a few years, he has the ability, it is not impossible to use him."

…………

"uncle!"

Guo Qiang's face was not very good, and he lowered his head and looked at the old man in front of him. The person in front of him was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Yuan's immediate boss.

"waste."

"Incompetent bungler!"

The Household Minister slapped the table fiercely, his face was ashen, if the search of the house found that the Chen residence really had relief food, then Chen Yuan would not be exiled, but beheaded for public display.

Once he dies, this disaster relief food embezzlement case will be over.

At that time, he, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, will be able to live freely.

But now, everything has been messed up by Guo Qiang.

"I, I didn't expect that the Chen Mansion was so poor... No." Guo Qiang shook his head, "The relief food is obviously in the Chen Mansion, so how could it disappear."

"What about the secret room?"

The Minister of Revenue knocked on the table.

"No."

Guo Qiang shook his head. I dug three feet and found nothing, and the secret rooms were all empty.

Thinking of this, he felt a stomach ache. It was true that he had never had his house raided before, but he had never felt as aggrieved as he did now.

After copying for a long time, I felt lonely.

"What about the tunnel?" Hubu Shangshu calmly said, "That mansion belonged to the former general, and there is a tunnel inside. Maybe they transported things away through the tunnel."

"I also discovered that tunnel." Guo Qiang also thought so, "But the other end of the tunnel is halfway up the mountain, and there are no traces of carriages, but we will continue to search!"

"It's not important." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance waved his hand, his eyes showing murderous intent, "It's important, yes, Chen Yuan must die!"

Guo Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I will send my confidants to infiltrate the exiled government officials and ask them to secretly deal with Chen Yuan."

"Don't miss this time, don't let anyone get caught, or else..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance snorted coldly, but Guo Qiang understood the threat and shuddered immediately.

…………

In the home of the imperial censor.

A group of people gathered together, and the imperial censor was still telling everyone what he had seen and heard in the Chen Mansion.

"You don't know that Zhengyuan not only sleeps on the bed board himself, but also Xiaoxue, the girl, sleeps on the bed board. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should also be considerate of your own girl..."

"Hey, I didn't expect that Zhengyuan would be so honest and upright. It's our fault. We shouldn't hesitate to let him suffer."

When everyone heard the words of the imperial censor, the image of Chen Yuan's family sleeping on the bed board appeared in their minds, and they suddenly felt heartbroken and guilty.

When they heard that Chen Yuan was embezzling, they did not firm up their attitude. Although they believed that Chen Yuan would not do this, they knew that Chen Yuan knew the person but did not know the heart, so they were a little suspicious.

And as many witnesses appeared, they became even more hesitant.

And the most important thing is that this matter involves too much, and His Majesty is also very angry and furious. He looks like he wants to punish severely. It seems that whoever opens his mouth will be held jointly and severally responsible.

However, in the end, conscience trumps everything else. They felt that the matter could not be easily concluded and requested a review by the third division.

But unexpectedly, His Majesty directly made a conclusion and beheaded the public to appease public anger.

Everyone argued hard and finally decided to banish him.

But now, after they heard the censor's account, they suddenly felt that they had wronged a good man.

So they signed a letter one after another, but they were all beaten back. But the result was that Chen Yuan's family was directly exiled without being tortured.

This barely gave Chen Yuan some dignity.

Although they were unwilling to give in, they also knew that this was the best result. After all, overturning the verdict would mean that His Majesty was wrong, which was impossible.

"Let's try to help in other areas!" Doctor Yushi sighed.

"I have a classmate who is a county magistrate in Lincheng. I can let him take care of me when Zhengyuan and his party pass by."

"I'm going to take care of it. At least the Zhengyuan family will suffer as little as possible on the way to exile."

You and I discussed how to help, and of course, everyone also unanimously decided to send some silver taels to Zheng Yuan.

After all, Chen's house was ransacked, but not a penny was recovered. This has spread throughout the Dayue Kingdom.

Everyone knows that Mr. Chen is penniless and his family is in dire straits.
