Chapter 423: Do You Feel Wronged?

The imperial decree claimed no detection of the Tong Family's rebellion nor any connection between the Tong Family and the Prime Minister. It only held onto the fault of the Tong Family losing the hidden treasure and hence the decision to confiscate their property.

Though the treasure was forcibly seized by Prince Pingnan, it had come from the people.

If it wasn't for considering that the Tong Family had already spent thirty million taels on the people, they would have been doomed to imprisonment.

Losing something that belonged to the people was indeed a mistake!

The village was in an uproar when the imperial decree was released.

These days, villagers knew that there was a secret tunnel in the mountain, which likely held a vast treasure.

But for them, the key word in this matter was "likely".

If it might be there, then it was not.

Even though the Emperor Emeritus had arrived, they had all treated this matter as a tale.
