Chapter 93 Don't be nervous, we are one family
No matter how you look at it, a hidden arrow in the sleeve is still a weapon, and they are prisoners, so it is hard to explain how they possess weapons.
If people like Captain Sun were discovered, they would definitely be charged with the crime of intending to attack yamen runners and escape.
Fortunately, Captain Sun is dead, otherwise...
However, Captain Sun died, and General Pingwei came. You should know that General Pingwei's reputation is known to everyone in Dayue Kingdom.
In addition, his reputation for integrity, perseverance and hatred of evil is well known to everyone.
If he knew that his family, as criminals, were hiding weapons, I'm afraid...
Therefore, Chen Xue and others did not care about General Pingwei's thanks and looked absent-minded.
They were thinking about how to hide the arrows on the bandits, or if they could throw a few more smoke bombs and tear gas bombs...
However, it seems a little late.
The bandits had already been caught, and even if they hid the arrows, the other prisoners around them could see their actions.
Just when they were anxious, they heard a voice beside their ears, "Master Chen"
"ah"
Lord Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and looked up at General Pingwei.
etc!
How does he know himself?
Lord Chen was a little confused, and then looked at General Pingwei and seemed to feel that he looked familiar.
"Master Chen, don't you recognize me?"
General Ping Wei quickly reminded him, "I'm Xie Yunshang, the boy who was rescued from the Sishui River more than ten years ago!"
After hearing this, Lord Chen suddenly remembered that this happened. At that time, he was not yet the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and had only been in the officialdom for a few years, so sometimes he had to work overtime at night.
And sometimes it is passive overtime.
That night, when he was going home after working overtime, he passed by the Si Shui River and heard some noise in the river. He found that a teenager had fallen into the water and was struggling desperately.
So, without thinking, he jumped into the river and rescued the boy.
He originally wanted to send the boy home, after all, it was dark and the boy fell into the water again, but the boy refused.
The young man asked Mr. Chen's name, remembered his appearance, and left alone. He was obviously worried that if Mr. Chen sent him back, his family would find out that he had fallen into the water and he would be scolded.
And the young man who fell into the water was Xie Yunshang.
At that time, Xie Yunshang was still very naughty. He fell into the water and secretly ran back home without telling his family, but he always kept Mr. Chen's life-saving grace in his heart.
So, from time to time he would run to Lord Chen's house to visit him and express his gratitude.
However, because he came frequently, he was later discovered by his family and was finally banned from going to the Chen family.
After all, their family is composed of military generals, representing more than just themselves. If the military generals have a close relationship with civil officials, it will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, which will not be good for both parties.
After all, one is a marquis and the other is the Minister of Revenue.
Originally, the two families had no connection, but suddenly one day, their relationship became inexplicably close. How could this not arouse suspicion?
For the emperor, once he became suspicious of his subjects, he would be in trouble, because the emperor did not need any evidence to do what he wanted.
Therefore, after being confined to his house, Xie Yunnan had no choice but to report the truth. The head of the Xie family, Marquis Pingyuan, came to express his gratitude in person, and then told the public about the matter, which dispelled everyone's doubts.
However, despite this relationship, the two families did not continue to have close contacts. After all, military generals and civil officials should be in opposition, not have close relations.
Therefore, Lord Chen and Marquis Pingyuan still maintained their previous relationship, and only occasionally visited each other during festivals or other times.
Moreover, the reason why Lord Chen was exiled instead of beheaded this time was that Pingyuan Hou also contributed to it.
Otherwise, the Imperial Censor and his men would not be able to defeat the Shangshu and his entourage, and would not be able to change the emperor's mind.
It was Pingyuan Hou and other military generals who strictly demanded a thorough investigation, but the emperor did not want to do so because it involved his second son, the second prince.
He was also very angry when he first learned about this, but after all, he was his own son, the second prince of Dayue Kingdom, so the emperor would not kill his son even if he knew about it.
Therefore, when others put forward the "mastermind Mr. Chen", the emperor went with the flow and even cut the Gordian knot by directly imprisoning the entire Ministry of Revenue, including everyone except the Minister of Revenue, and beheaded them in public.
At this time, the Imperial Censor and others knew Mr. Chen's character, so they pleaded for him.
The emperor just wanted to get to the bottom of the case as quickly as possible, so he naturally wouldn't listen to his ministers and just kill the man, and the matter would end there.
At this time, Pingyuan Hou spoke.
Pingyuan Hou is a royal relative after all, so the emperor naturally cannot ignore his words.
Moreover, Pingyuan Hou is a military general.
Pingyuan Hou said that this case cannot be easily dismissed and must be thoroughly investigated to give an explanation to the victims.
The emperor didn't dare to conduct a thorough investigation, as he would end up investigating his own son.
He knew that Lord Chen had saved the life of Marquis Pingyuan's son, otherwise Marquis Pingyuan would not have stood up for a civil servant.
So he gave face to Pingyuan Hou, and other civil servants also kept pleading for Chen Yuan.
In addition, the emperor also knew that Chen Yuan was innocent, so he thought of a compromise and confiscated the Chen family's property and exiled them.
It just so happened that the Nanman area had been invaded by the Nanman tribe some time ago, and almost all the prisoners who had previously opened up the land had died, so a group of new prisoners were urgently needed.
The emperor waved his hand and beheaded some of them in public, and exiled others.
In fact, those with background will be exiled, while those without background will be beheaded.
Anyway, the emperor knew that few of the people who went to the Southern Barbarians could come back.
When the prime minister was exiled, he was only exiled to places like Pingzhou, just for show.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Because he needed to avoid suspicion, Xie Yunshang seldom came to the Chen family. Later, Xie Yunshang was sent to the border by Pingyuan Hou for training, so he came to the Chen family even less.
As a result, Chen Yuan did not recognize Xie Yunshang at first.
“So it’s you!”
Master Chen suddenly understood, and Xie Yunshang smiled upon seeing this. Then, seeing Mother Chen, he also bowed and said, "Aunt Chen!"
"This is Xiaoxue, right? I haven't seen you for so long, you've grown up!"
Chen Xue was still worried that the arrow in her sleeve would be exposed, but who knew that General Pingwei would become one of her own.
She flipped through her previous life's memories and indeed found memories of Xie Yunshang. When Xie Yunshang came over as a child, her previous life kept calling him "Brother Yun, Brother Yun."
If it weren't for their fathers' status, I'm afraid their two families would have become relatives.
Fortunately, Pingyuan Hou saw this, so he took Xie Yunshang away very early and stopped him from going to the Chen family every day.
Afterwards, Xie Yunshang was sent to the border for training, which resulted in them not seeing each other for more than ten years. They almost forgot about this person.
But no matter what, we are now reunited.
And it’s easier to get things done with our own people.
