MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 6 To avoid future troubles

Chapter 6 To avoid future troubles

  “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 thrown into prison for embezzling disaster relief food, and his whole family was exiled."

“He actually embezzled disaster relief food. This is a crime worthy of death, but he was just exiled...”

 Some people are very angry. You know, the weather has been abnormal in recent years, showing three years of drought, followed by 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 criticize with righteous indignation.

“Did you know? My relatives were also there when the Chen Mansion ransacked the house. It is said that not a penny was confiscated from the Chen Mansion.”

"How can this be!"

“Didn’t he say that the relief food was hidden at home?”

“Even if there is no relief food, there must be other food and silver at home. How is this possible for a dignified third-rank official who doesn’t have a penny at home?”

“I heard from my second aunt’s uncle’s niece’s cousin that when the court donated money for disaster relief, Mr. Chen donated 10,000 taels. It is said that Mr. Chen sold off his property and everything in the house to get the 10,000 taels.”

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

“But why didn’t the court release 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.

Jinluan Palace.

The emperor in dragon robes held a memorial with a frown on his face. This was written by the Censor.

“Xiao Lizi, do you think this is true or not? Is Chen Yuan’s family really so poor?”

 Had it not been written by a fair and strict censor, he would have doubted the authenticity of this matter, but he still doubted 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 bizarre.

"this…"

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

 There was no answer, and the emperor did not care. He did care about the request of the imperial censor, asking for a retrial of the case.

 Actually, he knew that this matter involved the Minister of Household Affairs, but behind it was his second son, the second prince.

 Besides, as an emperor, how could he easily revise the judgment he had already made with his golden tongue?

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 were separated, and Chen Yuan had to be tortured for a period of time before being exiled.

"If he has the ability in a few years, it's 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 Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Yuan's immediate boss.

 “Waste.”

"Incompetent bungler!"

 The Minister of Household Affairs slammed the table fiercely, his face turned livid. If the house search found that the Chen Mansion really had relief food, then Chen Yuan would not be exiled, but would be beheaded in public display.

 As soon as he dies, this disaster relief food embezzlement case will be over.

 At that time, he will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he 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 would be so poor... No." Guo Qiang shook his head, "The disaster relief food was obviously in the Chen Mansion, how could it have disappeared."

 “Where is the secret room?”

 Huchbu Shangshu knocked on the table.

"No."

Guo Qiang shook his head. I dug three feet in the ground and couldn't find it. Moreover, the secret rooms were all empty.

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

I copied it for a long time and felt lonely.

“Where is the tunnel?” Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue said calmly, “That mansion belonged to the former general, and there is a tunnel inside. Maybe they transported things 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!"

"This is not important." The Minister of the Ministry of Finance waved his hand, his eyes showing murderous intent, "It is 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 let them 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 his threat and shuddered immediately.

 …

 At 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 upright 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 what he knew but did not know his heart, so they were a little suspicious.

 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.

 Unexpectedly, His Majesty directly made a decision and beheaded the public to appease the public anger.

Everyone argued with each other, and finally the issue of exile came about.

But now, after they heard the Yushi doctor'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 our best to help in other aspects!” The imperial censor sighed.

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

“I’m going to take care of things. At least the Zhengyuan family will suffer as little as possible on the way to exile.”

Everyone talked about how to help. Of course, everyone also unanimously decided to send some silver to Zhengyuan.

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

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