Chapter 205 Chen Jiatong was exiled to the northwest
Ye Chutang and Song Jingning left the court and went to the back garden.
Rich businessmen, gentry, students and common people left one after another.
Only the officials remained.
Qi Yanzhou asked the Governor of Liangzhou directly, "Sir Governor, how do you plan to handle this case?"
The governor did not answer but asked, "Master Qi, do you want to make a big fuss, or make it small?"
If the incident becomes a big deal, the evidence of the emperor's murder of loyal officials will have to be made public.
If the matter is to be resolved, someone needs to be pushed out to take the blame for murdering the Qi family.
"Let's make a big deal out of a small one. I'll give the emperor one last chance. I don't want to rebel and make the people suffer unless it's absolutely necessary."
The Beichen Kingdom was on the verge of collapse, the people were suffering, and could not withstand civil strife, so he could only tolerate it temporarily.
Not making the fact that the emperor wants to kill the Qi family public is to tell everyone the Qi family's choice.
This is to prevent someone from using the name of doing good for the Qi family, pretending to be doing good for the country and the people, but actually pursuing personal gain.
The governor knew that Qi Yanzhou truly loved his people like his own children.
Otherwise, with the Qi family's background, as well as his ability and influence, he would have overthrown the imperial power and become the new emperor long ago.
He nodded solemnly, "Then let's do as Master Qi said and push someone out to take the blame. Who do you think is suitable?"
The most suitable person is naturally Cao Liang, but he respects Qi Yanzhou's ideas.
Qi Yanzhou glanced at Cao Liang, whose body had already stiffened, and said, "Let's close the case based on the old grudge between Magistrate Cao and the Qi family."
Anyway, the truth of the matter will not be buried just because the case is closed.
Everyone will only think that the Qi family is worthy of admiration for enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens for the people and the country!
The governor handed Cao Liang's confession to Qi Yanzhou.
"Master Qi, this is for you. It may be useful in the future."
Qi Yanzhou understood the hidden meaning of the governor's words and accepted Cao Guang's confession.
The governor looked at Chen Weiming who was still kneeling on the ground and asked coldly, "Master Qi, how do you plan to deal with Chen Tongpan?"
What he hated most in his life was people who destroyed the bridge after crossing it!
Chen Weiming was able to become Tongpan because his second son married Qi Qingyu.
As a result, after the Qi family got into trouble, he actually wanted to wipe out the entire Qi family.
Worse than beasts!
Chen Weiming knew that Qi Yanzhou would definitely not let him go, so he immediately turned his knees and faced Qi Qingyu.
"Qingyu, Shaoping treated you well, and I have never treated you harshly. This time I dealt with the Qi family because of the emperor's order, not my intention."
He still couldn't figure out why such a foolproof plan failed so completely.
After all, when the Qi family was being planned, the help of the Dragon Guards and Ye Chutang was not taken into account.
Qi Qingyu looked coldly at Chen Weiming, who had a look of regret on his face, without a trace of emotion.
"Master Chen, ever since you and Master Cao conspired to wipe out the Qi family and used my child to force me to betray my family, you never thought of asking me to let the Chen family go, right?"
The distant address showed her attitude.
Chen Weiming gritted his teeth and reminded her, "Qi Qingyu, you are now a wife of the Chen family. If the Chen family is finished, you and your children will not be able to have a good life!"
Since nice words are useless, we can only use threats.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Qi Qingyu, who looked unhappy, and said, "Sister, I can help you get a divorce."
Qi Qingyu thought of Chen Shaoping, who had his leg broken while protecting her and the child, and shook her head.
"Yan Zhou, I won't divorce you."
If they divorce, only she can leave the Chen family.
But she couldn't abandon her two children and her husband with a broken leg!
Chen Weiming was only assisting Cao Liang, and the crime he committed was not enough to warrant the execution of his entire clan.
Either they were reduced to criminal slavery or they were exiled.
She could accept both.
Qi Yanzhou knew that Qi Qingyu was stubborn and no one could change the decision she made.
He did not persuade her any further, and said to the governor of Liangzhou: "Confiscate the property of Chen Tongpan and exile him."
On the road to exile, he will find a way to make Chen Shaoping split up the family!
The governor understood Qi Yanzhou's meaning and nodded.
"You can confiscate the property, but it cannot be in the prosperous Tianshan County. It has to be in the extremely evil Linzhou City."
Linzhou City is a frontier area and has been plagued by wars for many years, so the Ye family was exiled here.
"Listen to the governor."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he looked at the two elders of the Qi family.
"Dad and Mom, don't worry about my elder sister. As long as she's alive, she can change her situation."
The two elders thought so too.
My daughter and grandson are going to the northwest with the Qi family. It would be great if they could take care of them along the way.
Qi Yanzhou instructed the governor not to take Qi Qingyu's body into custody during the house search.
Leaving her some belongings would allow her to be the head of the Chen family.
After giving the instructions, he went to the back garden.
Ye Chutang was chatting with Song Jingning about writing storybooks and storytelling.
The two of them have almost finished their conversation.
Since there were no outsiders around, Song Jingning did not hide his closeness to Ye Chutang.
He touched Ye Chutang's head and said with a smile: "Sister is really smart. She can make money and gain fame at the same time."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled brightly.
"Money is the lifeblood of a country, and reputation is the foundation of a country. If you have both, even an emperor has to be tolerant!"
"That's right. I'll go to Tianshan County first and lead the charge. You guys should follow me quickly."
Song Jingning withdrew his hand, looked at Qi Yanzhou who was a little jealous, and a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I'll leave my sister to you. Don't let her suffer any hardship or grievance."
Qi Yanzhou solemnly promised, "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of Atang."
Song Jingning believed in Qi Yanzhou's character and nodded.
"We will meet again in Tianshan County."
"Okay, uncle, will the Song family be implicated if we bring students to stand up today?"
"Even if the emperor is angry, he can't shake the foundation of the Song family."
Qi Yanzhou had no doubt about this.
The Song family has been in power for three hundred years. Although it has experienced ups and downs, it has never declined, which shows its ability.
"In this case, I feel relieved."
Ye Chutang glanced at the darkening sky and said, "Brother, it's getting late, you should go."
Song Jingning took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and stuffed it into Ye Chutang's pocket.
"These banknotes are all in small denominations, which are convenient to use. Don't treat yourself badly during your exile."
After saying that, he left the back garden.
Ye Chutang took Song Jingning's kindness into his arms and whispered to his back.
"Brother, have a safe journey!"
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang in his arms.
"Don't worry, I have arranged thirty people to secretly escort your brother. He will be fine."
Ye Chutang nodded and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
"I wonder what the dog emperor's expression would be after receiving the urgent memorial from the governor of Liangzhou, which was sent eight hundred miles away?"
