Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 483 The Imperial Censor defends himself! Fusu is calm and unhurried!
When other ministers heard Chen Bai's words, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at his cleverness.

Chen Bai didn't know why Fusu impeached him, so he took the initiative to speak out.

Saying that I have not formed a clique for personal gain is telling Your Majesty.

Fusu impeached him, perhaps because he did not submit to Fusu.

If Your Majesty listens to it, he will doubt Fusu's motives for impeachment.

Some ministers looked at Chen Bai. It was indeed not easy for him to take over the position of Chief Censor.

Meng Tian looked at Chen Bai with a hint of disdain on his face.

He also understood the meaning of Chen Bai's words, which was that Prince Fusu impeached him because he did not ally himself with Prince Fusu.

Li Si frowned slightly and looked at Fusu. He didn't understand why Fusu suddenly wanted to impeach the Imperial Censor Chen Bai.

However, Li Si believed that Fusu impeached Chen Bai not because Chen Bai refused to surrender.

"Fusu, why do you want to impeach Chen Bai?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu calmly without showing any attitude.

Fusu glanced at Chen Bai, then looked at the First Emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Chen Bai for abusing his power to allow others to do bad things and accept bribes, and he also wants to benefit from the construction of the road."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and said all the words he wanted to impeach.

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Chen Bai.

They didn't expect Fusu to impeach so many people, and once Chen Bai's impeachment was confirmed.

It is inevitable that he will be thrown into death row and executed at a later date.

When Chen Bai heard the fear in Fusu's eyes when he impeached him, he quickly regained his composure.

"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu is slandering me."

"I have been careful not to abuse my power, but you mentioned that I accepted bribes."

"The minister lives in a dilapidated courtyard. If I really accept bribes."

"I will definitely live in a spacious mansion, why should I live in a shabby courtyard?"

"As for what you said about me wanting to gain benefits from building the road, that is nonsense."

"Your Majesty personally ordered the construction of the road in Daqin, and Xiao He was the person in charge of the construction of the road."

"Even if I wanted to benefit from building the road, I don't have the guts to do it."

"Prince Fusu has slandered me so much, please Your Majesty, please help me."

Chen Bai said this while kneeling on the ground with a look of grievance on his face.

Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard what Chen Bai said. Chen Bai was the Imperial Censor.

There were many ministers in the court who had dealings with him, and some of them had visited Chen Bai's home.

The place where Chen Bai lived was indeed a dilapidated courtyard, which could not be compared with their mansion.

Fusu said that Chen Bai accepted bribes, but they didn't believe it.

Some ministers also began to believe what Chen Bai said at the beginning. Fusu impeached Chen Bai perhaps because Chen Bai did not surrender to Fusu.

When Meng Tian heard Chen Bai's words, his face showed anger. He didn't expect Chen Bai to be so good at quibbling.

He made himself appear so aggrieved if he hadn't known everything in Yunzhong County.

Chen Bai's sophistry is likely to make him doubt Fusu's words.

Li Si frowned and looked at Fusu. He had also been to Chen Bai's house once.

Chen Bo received him in the dilapidated courtyard.

There were only a few servants in the courtyard, which was too few for Chen Bai, the Imperial Censor.

Li Si looked at Fusu. He wanted to hear what Fusu's evidence was.

Ying Zheng's face remained calm. He looked at Fusu and asked, "Fusu, do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone in Qilin Hall also looked at Fusu, and Chen Bai also looked at Fusu.

He now looked aggrieved, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He thought that he usually hid well and should not attract Fusu's attention. But today Fusu impeached him for the crime he had committed.

Chen Bai was wondering who leaked his information to Fusu.

He didn't think Fusu could impeach him for no reason.

Fusu glanced at the aggrieved Chen Bai, then looked at the First Emperor and said, "My father!"

“Living in a dilapidated courtyard does not mean you won’t take bribes.”

"And living in such a shabby courtyard can better hide the bribes you receive."

"I asked my father a few days ago to cancel my attendance at the morning court for the time being."

"I left Xianyang City these days and headed for other cities."

"First, to see the customs and practices of other cities, and second, to see how the people in other cities live."

"I have come to a county not too far from Xianyang City, called Yunzhong County."

"This county is about to build a road. Song Lun, the county magistrate of Yunzhong County, is a good county magistrate."

"Post a notice to tell the people of Yunzhong County that County Magistrate Song Lun will be personally responsible."

"There is a powerful family in Yunzhong County. The head of this family is called Wang Yu."

"This person used to be arrogant and domineering in Yunzhong County and did whatever he wanted. Ever since Song Lun came to Yunzhong County to serve as the county magistrate."

"Wang Yu's family has become more restrained, and the lives of the people in Yunzhong County have also improved a lot."

"Wang Yu knew that Yunzhong County was going to build a road, so he approached Song Lun to participate in the construction and gain benefits."

"Song Lun rejected Wang Yu's request, and Wang Yu was dissatisfied with Song Lun."

"Wang Yu also didn't want to give up the benefits of building roads, so he found someone to support him."

"The people who supported Wang Yu used their power to remove Song Lun County Magistrate from his post and sent a crony to serve as County Magistrate to collude with Wang Yu."

"The person who backed Wang Yu was the Imperial Censor Chen Bai!"

Fusu looked at everyone in Qilin Hall and explained the reason for impeaching Chen Bai.

Qilin Hall became quiet again, and everyone's eyes turned to Chen Bai.

What Fusu said made sense, and they had also heard of the county town of Yunzhong.

As the Imperial Censor, Chen Bai had the power to appoint officials.

It is easy for Chen Bai to replace a county magistrate.

Now they began to believe that Fusu and Chen Bai did have problems.

When Chen Bai heard Fusu's words, his face turned pale and he was filled with fear. He didn't expect that Fusu actually went to Yunzhong County.

After knowing that he was the person backing Wang Yu, Chen Bai quickly regained his composure.

He knew that he had to defend himself now and not let Fusu's words come true.

"Your Majesty, I do not know any Wang Yu, and I have never dismissed the magistrate of Yunzhong County."

"It must be someone else supporting Wang Yu and framing me."

"I am innocent, Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Chen Bai had a look of grievance on his face as he looked at the First Emperor and bowed.

Chen Bai can only pray now that Fusu has no actual evidence.

He also arranged for other people to secretly remove the magistrate of Yunzhong County.

After finding out that there was nothing wrong with him, he could only deny it.

The other ministers did not speak and looked at Fusu.

They believed Chen Bai just now, but now they don't dare to believe it.

Now we can only look at the real evidence from the time of Fusu, otherwise it is still very difficult to convict a Censor.

"Fusu, what evidence do you have?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and continued to ask questions.
