"What's going on..."
When the Chief Censor came back from the palace, his face turned pale when he saw the scene in the mansion.
"Master, I don't know. There was a sudden heavy rain, and then the mansion became like this. Even the big trees were chopped down. It was like a disaster..." The servants said nervously.
He couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard on the road, saying that the Chief Censor had done something wrong and would be punished by heaven.
In the sedan chair, he thought it was just nonsense from the people, but when he returned to the mansion and saw this scene, he was shocked and vaguely frightened.
The news of the natural disaster in the mansion spread immediately, and everyone was talking about it.
The Chief Censor didn't believe it, but he was still worried, so he hurried to the temple to burn incense and pray.
"Please bless me, Buddha, and may everything go well in the mansion." He had just put in a few incense sticks, but the incense suddenly broke, as if it was twisted off by some unknown force. He was immediately startled.
He stepped back repeatedly, but bumped into something. When he looked down, he saw a bright red coffin. He screamed in fright.
"Buddha, you must protect me..."
Just as he opened his mouth to pray to God, he turned his head and saw several white shadows flash past from behind the statue, and his psychological defenses finally collapsed.

In the cellar was all the stolen silver he had embezzled. After seeing the silver, he was shocked: "Is this really a punishment?"
boom!
A loud thunderclap struck, as if confirming his words.
A loud thunderclap seemed to strike him, judging him. He sat down on the ground with a pale face.
The next day when he went to court, the Chief Censor appeared in the court with a pale face and in a daze.
Xiao Shengxing sat high up in the hall and said, "The national treasury is empty. I intend to expand it. What are your opinions, my dear ministers?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.
This is clearly asking for money, but they are not willing to pay.
"Since my dear ministers have no objections, I have decided that from today onwards, we will collect money to replenish the national treasury. I will reward those who donate the most money, and I will also reduce the punishment for those who have committed crimes."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers began to talk about it.
Amidst the discussion, the Chief Censor stepped forward and said loudly, "I wish to donate the money in my palace to the national treasury. I hope my humble contribution will contribute to the prosperity of this peaceful and prosperous era."
