Expulsion

In the next three days, the victims who were still hesitant at first found Lao Kang to register one after another with the help of people around them.

All 4,323 victims who fled the famine have since settled in the boundaries of Chengyuan Villa.

From now on, they will all be the owners of the main village in Wanfu County.

The official who handled the household registration was a member of the Dong family. I heard that it was the matter of the Wanfu County Lord, so he handled the matter very quickly without any problems.

During these three days, Lu Yaoyao's Chengyuan Villa was very busy, and the first batch of cement was also produced.

Under the command of Lu Yaoyao, the craftsmen used cement, a brand-new material, to erect the gate of Chengyuan Villa.

Next, when Lu Yaoyao arrived, he did not rush to build a workshop or anything, but arranged for the villagers to first build a wall with cement on the boundary of Chengyuan Villa.

In Lu Yaoyao's words, from now on there are two worlds inside and outside the wall, and she will turn the villa into a paradise.

The movement on her side was not small, and the movement in the capital, no, to be precise, the movement in the court was also not small.

Although Gao Yanming has been dismissed from office, the subsequent pursuit of accountability continues.

The two riots in Jinyang this time are all closely related to him.

It was because of the sudden locust plague that Emperor Hongwen had no intention of dealing with him for the time being.

Now that the locust plague has been effectively controlled, the people who made me hate them so much in the past and had no way to deal with them will naturally be picked out to deal with them.

No, thanks to his secret gains, officials from the royalist faction wrote letters to impeach former left prime minister Gao Yanming for various violations of law and discipline during his tenure.

What about corruption and bribery, abusing power for personal gain, taking human life lightly, etc.

The list of accusations is simply too numerous to list.

This is clearly intended to completely rub Gao Yanming into the dust, leaving him with no chance to make a comeback.

But if someone steps on it, there will naturally be someone to protect it. After all, this thing involves more than just Gao Yanming and the Gao family.

Whether it is corruption, bribery, or using power for personal gain, there must always be a target, right?

The most directly involved among them is the Han family, as well as many aristocratic families, all of whom are related to each other.

If Emperor Hongwen were to convict him of this crime, not only would Gao Yanming be in bad luck, but the people involved would also be in trouble.

No, the aristocratic family could no longer sit still, and the officials of the aristocratic family began to step forward to protect Gao Yanming.

Emperor Hongwen's attitude was relatively firm at first, but as the turmoil in the family became more and more fierce, Emperor Hongwen's stamina became somewhat lacking.

No, in the end he was just sentenced to be expelled from the capital and never allowed to return, and no one from the Gao family was allowed to enter officialdom for three generations.

Gao Yanming was naturally dissatisfied with such a punishment and approached people from the Han family and other aristocratic families, hoping that they would help again.

However, no one paid any attention to him.

After all, if Gao Yanming were convicted of the previous crimes, not to mention the annihilation of the entire clan, it would at least be beheading and exile.

The family had already spent a lot of money to put pressure on Emperor Hongwen this time, and now it finally made Emperor Hongwen take a big step back. Naturally, it was impossible to push forward to retaliate for a wasted chess piece.

"Miss, the news has come back. Tomorrow Gao Yanming will take his family out of Beijing and return to his ancestral home, Jinyang."

Even though Lu Yaoyao has been so busy these days, she has not neglected the Gao family's attention at all.

"knew."

"Go and ask Luo Bai to come over."

Qiu Shuang retreated in response.

Soon Luo Bai came.

"Inform the Black Cloud Hunters who have not joined my army to gather early tomorrow morning and follow me to do some errands."

Luo Bai responded directly without asking a word.

He is now the commander of the imperial troops at Chengyuan Villa, and he is also aware of the news that has been coming from the capital in the past few days.

"Miss, let's go with you tomorrow."

"good."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, his eyes flashing coldly.

Finally, she had waited for this day. In a few days, the one-month period she had agreed with her grandfather would arrive.

When returning to Jiangdong to worship his mother, he naturally had to take Gao Yanming's head with him.

"master"

In the Gao family in the capital, all the servants in the house were busy packing their things.

The Zuo Xiang's mansion, which was originally full of flowers, is no longer what it used to be.

Gao Yanming, who had always been bright and energetic, now became decadent and slovenly, with a haggard look on his face, his clothes were wrinkled, his eyes had lost their sparkle, and he became gloomy.

I have to say that the Han family is quite good and did not make sarcastic comments about Gao Yanming because he lost power.

"Have everything been packed?"

After a while, Gao Yanming raised his head and looked at his wife, Mrs. Han.

This time, although the Han family later gave up on him, which made him very dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

Especially now, the verdict has become a foregone conclusion. If the Gao family wants to make a comeback in the future, they will have to rely on the Han family. He is a smart man and will not make trouble even if he is dissatisfied.

Because he knew that once there was a falling out, the Gao family would be completely destroyed. Without the help of the Han family, even three generations would be needed. I am afraid that from the next generation onwards, the originally brilliant Gao family would be lost to the public.

"It's already being tidied up. Master, you haven't eaten anything for a whole day. I've already sent someone to prepare it. You can eat something."

Gao Yanming nodded, and then said, "Little sister, over there."

"She has moved out with her children."

It was the Gao family who was punished this time, and logically speaking, the Gao family was also included.

After all, she was reunited with Xu Zhao and returned home. Su Ri'an was turned away at first, but wasn't he later taken back to the Gao family?

However, Gao Yanming finally begged the Han family for help and not to implicate the three of them, mother and son.

The Han family originally didn't intend to care about his request, but in the end they reluctantly agreed after the Han family came forward.

Hearing that the Gao family had moved out, Gao Yanming's originally absent-minded eyes regained some of their energy.

But he soon covered it up.

"Madam, I'm afraid you will suffer in the days to come."

Hearing this, Mrs. Han shook her head. Returning to Jinyang was indeed not comparable to the capital, but she didn't mind the suffering at all.

After all, she is the direct daughter of the Han family, and her father is now the head of the Han family. Even though he has lost his royal title, his life is not bad.

"We have been married for half our lives, please don't talk about this."

Gao Yanming nodded, and then a cold light gathered in his eyes, and his voice became extremely cold.

"Now that it's become like this, there are some things that you don't have to worry about."

"You still want to take action against Wanfu County?"

Han frowned slightly.

"Why should I leave the scene sadly, but she can fly as high as she wants?"

"Even if I want to leave, I have to take her with me."

Han didn't quite agree with his idea.

Speaking of which, they actually didn't have any deep hatred against Lu Yaoyao, but it was because of the Gao family that they came to oppose each other.

In the past, I had an identity, vented my anger for the Gao family, and taught the other party a lesson, but it was nothing.

But what now?

The Gao family is already finished, and it would be unwise in her opinion to provoke a county head who is deeply attached to the saint at this time.
