Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Zhang Shifan gave him a fearful look.
Seeing these workers scolding him and agitating, his face was livid with anger.
Chu Xuanchen deliberately exposed this matter in front of these workers, it must be to use public anger to deal with him.
He has become the target of public criticism now, and he was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would really go straight to the book, so he gritted his teeth fiercely, and an idea came to his mind.
He glared at Chu Xuanchen resentfully, and said through gritted teeth: "I am an important minister of the imperial court. I am busy with military affairs every day, so how can I take care of these things. If there is really a mistake in occupying their land, it may be because my housekeeper is not effective. Accidentally made a mistake, it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that Zhang Shifan finally admitted, Chu Xuanchen said: "In this case, what should Mr. Zhang think should be done?"
Zhang Shifan glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily, with anger bubbling in his chest and killing intent jumping in his eyes.
He paused and said: "Come on, go to the Zhang Mansion and find Steward Liu. If he really accidentally occupied the villagers' land by mistake, I will ask him to check it out one by one and return it on the spot. King Li, this is the way to go." right?"
"Master Zhang is just and strict, but the housekeeper seized the farmland and killed people, so he can't just return the land. According to the law, he should be beheaded!" Chu Xuanchen said.
"Yes, this housekeeper deserves to be killed!" The workers also shouted.
Zhang Shifan's face turned into a furious lion, "Alright, don't worry, King Li, I will give you an explanation."
All aroused the public's anger, and there were all the witnesses and evidences, so he had to sacrifice the housekeeper.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen looked at those landlords angrily, "Besides the housekeeper who deserves to be killed, you rich owners who dare to seize the people's land and kill people should also be killed!"
When those landlords heard this, they were so frightened that they were dripping with cold sweat and trembling all over.
They hurriedly looked at Zhang Shifan, wanting Zhang Shifan to intercede for them, but Zhang Shifan ignored them at all.
They suddenly realized that Zhang Shifan was unreliable.
They were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they knelt down with a plop, "My lord, please forgive me, the little ones know their mistakes, and the little ones will never dare again!"
Chu Xuanchen's body overflowed with a strong majesty of the king, "These landlords seized the land of the common people, forced dozens of lives to death, and committed heinous crimes. This king will punish them severely according to the law. Moli, take someone to copy their papers. Home, take back all the land they seized and return it to the people!"
"Yes, my lord." Mo Li cupped his hands.
"Chen Xi, drag these bullies to Caishikou, read their crimes in front of the people, and behead them immediately!" Chu Xuanchen said angrily.
When Chen Xi heard this, his heart trembled.
Why did the prince call him to be executed?
Could it be that the prince suspects him and is trying to make an example of others?
It seems that this prince's methods are thunderous and ruthless with an iron fist, which is very terrifying.
He was very disturbed in his heart, so he had to quickly say: "Yes, my lord."
After finishing speaking, he waved to the officials behind him, "Come here, quickly arrest these greedy bullies and take them to the vegetable market for execution!"
Immediately, more than a dozen officials went to arrest those landlords.
Those landlords were already paralyzed and trembling from fright.
Seeing that Chu Xuanchen dealt with these landlords, the villagers and workers beside him all cheered.
"My lord is wise, my lord is really a master of heaven!"
"Great, these landlords are finally going to be beheaded, and our land can be taken back!"
"Yes, after so many years of hard work, we can finally regain our land, thank you, my lord." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
