The next day, Su Sijin and others were escorted out of the city early in the morning and exiled to Lingnan as scheduled.
The city was peaceful, with no sight of the solemn and majestic guards.
Su Sijin looked in the direction of the palace and smiled with interest.
Sure enough, as she expected, the emperor did not announce the theft from the national treasury, and he dared not make the theft from his private treasury public, unless he wanted to be drowned in the spit of the people.
As for those corrupt officials, they dare not speak out, after all, it is ill-gotten gains obtained through corruption.
If we make it public, won’t the people from the Dali Temple investigate?
Can corrupt officials withstand investigation?
I'm afraid that in the end, the entire family will be in trouble.
Therefore, both the emperor and the corrupt officials had to swallow this loss.
Su Sijin whispered to the city guard beside her, "Why didn't I see the commander of the imperial guard today?"
The city guard didn't want to pay any attention to her, but seeing her eyes wide open and looking at her with admiration, he felt that she looked up to him.
So he moved closer, looked around, and then whispered, "The commander of the Imperial Guard was on his way back from his duty at the palace yesterday. Somehow, he fell into the moat and died."
A flash of light flashed in Su Sijin's eyes, "That's a pity."
Just say he won't see the sun today! And you still don't believe it?
An hour later, the prisoners arrived at Shili Pavilion.
Shili Pavilion is where relatives bid farewell to exiled people. Families who love their children will naturally arrange for someone to see them off.
You can send money and supplies, but not openly or with much fanfare. You can do it in private.
Qin Qing was distracted and nodded woodenly, "Did you hear that?"
The visitor growled impatiently, but Qin Qing remained unmoved, as if she had lost her soul.
People from the second and fourth branches of the Lu family came to deliver supplies.
"Oh! Is there no one from Duke Zheng's Mansion to send money to my sister-in-law? The journey has been so difficult, how can we get by without money?" Chen Chunhua pretended to be concerned, but in fact he was gloating.
Chen Chunhua proudly tossed the things in his hand, showing both pride and sarcasm.
"Jie'er, my son." A voice full of vicissitudes of life sounded, and at the same time slapped Chen Chunhua in the face.
Chen Chunhua, who was slapped in the face in public, left with a sour face.
Zheng Jie briefly expressed her longing for him to the Duke's wife, "Jie'er, your temper makes me really worried. The eldest of the Lu family is full of sick, disabled, small, and reckless children. What can you do?"
It took Zheng Jie a lot of comfort to make the old lady of Duke Zheng stop being sad and take out a few banknotes.
"Remember, you are a mother and the pillar of your children's life. You cannot fall. You must bring the children alive to Lingnan. Here in the capital, your father and brother will find a way to help Chang Gong clear his name."
Zheng Jie just wiped away her tears and said, "I am an unfilial daughter. I have made my parents and brother worry about me and run around for Chang Gong."
The old lady shook her head and reminded him again with concern, "You keep these banknotes for yourself. I will give you additional silver. This is open to the public. Do you understand?"
"Mother?" Zheng Jie looked at the old lady in confusion.
The old lady tapped her forehead with a look of dismay, "Your mother-in-law and your three brothers-in-law are unreliable. They are the kind of people who will eat you without leaving any bones. You should be more careful."
"For so many years, they have been sucking blood from the eldest son's family."
"What did that old hag do to you, Chang Gong, and the others? Don't you have eyes to see? Or do you have no brains to think?"
"If they had any regard for family affection, why would they have reached this point? Can't you see clearly? If you continue to be confused and cling to so-called foolish filial piety, the four Changgong children will have no way to survive."
The Duke's wife gnashed her teeth in hatred when she talked about Madam Lu.
The Duke's wife glanced at Su Sijin who was not far away and taught her step by step, "I heard that Chang Gong's wife defended her many times yesterday. It turns out that rumors are not to be believed. She is a good and kind child. If that old woman embarrasses the children, that child will not stand idly by."
"That child is a helper. I feel relieved to have her accompany you to Lingnan. Remember, the eldest son is the eldest son. Don't give your whole heart and soul to them just because they play the victim."
The Duke's wife picked out the most important things to teach Zheng Jie, fearing that she would be torn apart and eaten without leaving even a bone or a scrap.
"Miss, this is a letter that the Prime Minister asked me to give you. I told you to read it carefully." The nanny looked at Su Sijin arrogantly with disdain.
The nanny raised her head and said arrogantly, "Miss, don't forget that you are a girl trained by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion is your backer. As long as you work hard for the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not treat you unfairly."
Su Sijin's face turned dark. How could a slave who sold herself into slavery have such superiority? How dare he show off in front of her and act so noble?
It's really uncomfortable.
So if Su Sijin endured her, she would not be Su Sijin, "Pa, this slap will teach you how to be a slave. Remember, I am the master and you are the slave. It is not your turn to show off in front of me and teach me how to do things."
Su Sijin took the letter from her hand without even looking at it and put it in her arms.
The nanny covered her face and said angrily, "The general asked you to read the letter in front of me."
"Don't use Su Chun to pressure me." Su Sijin didn't take it seriously at all.
Suddenly, Su Sijin looked at the nanny with ill intentions. The nanny took a few steps back in fear, "What do you want to do?"
Su Sijin stretched out a hand and said simply and roughly, "Give it to me."
The old lady stared at Su Sijin blankly and asked dully, "What do you want?"
"How can I do something without money?" Although she didn't think Sun Chun would give her money, she wanted to try it first, just in case he got the money.
The nanny had a bitter face and took out two silver bills from her bosom. She originally wanted to swallow them, but she didn't expect that Su Sijin had become smart.
I actually thought of this aspect.
Su Sijin's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that he really cheated out the money.
She didn't expect Su Chun to give her money. It was so unexpected.
Su Sijin took the banknote in surprise, but the words she said were full of disdain, "Two hundred taels? That's just a small amount?"
The nanny was so shocked by her sudden change of attitude that she was at a loss for words. She nodded reluctantly, "The Prime Minister only gave me two hundred taels. He told you to burn the letter immediately after reading it."
Su Sijin paused as she was leaving, turned around and warned with a dark face, "Does the other side of your face need to be symmetrical?"
The nanny stepped back in fear, and then ran away, as if a ghost was chasing her.
Then, "Bang." He fell flat on his face. No, not dog shit, but a mouth full of cow dung.
The unusual noise attracted everyone's attention.
"Pfft." The funny side caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The nanny crawled several times in panic before she got up. She covered her face and ran away with her body lowered. She vomited violently as she ran, the kind of vomiting that was very disgusting but she couldn't help it.
