Chu Xuanchen glanced at them and said, "Please come in, everyone, let's talk in the room."
Afterwards, several people followed him into the room.
As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, several people suddenly changed their sluggish expressions, and all of them became serious.
Yang Shixun took the lead and said, "My lord, Zhang Shifan, Su Cheng and others cover the sky with their hands in Jiangzhou, spoil the common people, and damage the reputation of the lord. Does the lord want to bring him down?"
"You stopped stuttering?" Chu Xuanchen asked.
Yang Shixun smiled awkwardly, "My lord, in fact, I am not stuttering. To be honest, I am pretending to be stuttering."
"Fake it? Why are you doing this?"
"My lord, this Jiangzhou is the domain of Zhang Shifan and Su Cheng. They are extremely powerful and domineering in Jiangzhou. The lower officials are dissatisfied with their fish and meat people, and they don't want to join forces with them, so they have to pretend to be crazy and stupid. In this way, they will only enjoy making fun of the lower officials all day long, and relax their vigilance against the lower officials, and the black hat of the lower officials can be preserved until today." Yang Shixun said helplessly.
That Yu Wenxian also stood up. At this time, he did not smell of alcohol, but was clean and honest.
He said angrily, "Your Majesty, the same goes for Xiaguan and others. As the warden, Xiaguan is in charge of prison affairs, and he is often coerced and lured by them to ask me to do things for them. Sometimes when Zhang Shifan wants to protect someone, he will He will come to force the subordinate officials to make arbitrary judgments. In order to enforce the law impartially and avenge the people¡¯s grievances, the subordinate officials have to pretend to be drunk, pretend to have forgotten his orders, and do business directly, and the subordinate officials have offended them because of this.¡±
"The same goes for the lower officials. The lower officials don't like Zhang Shifan's way of running around in the countryside just because he is Su Ming's disciple. The lower officials don't want to be with him, but they can't fight him, and they are afraid of being persecuted by him. , I have no choice but to act in a low-key manner and be an official cautiously." Several other officials also echoed with anger.
Yang Shixun said, "My lord, we have a lot of evidence of Zhang Shifan, Su Cheng and others taking bribes and committing crimes. We are going to hand it over to the lord to deal with him and eliminate harm for Jiangzhou!"
"Oh? Then why didn't you give it to me before, but now?" Chu Xuanchen said.
"To tell you the truth, my lord, we didn't know you well before, and we were afraid that you would be no different from him. We didn't know that you are a good official until we saw that you worked hard for the people and couldn't get used to Zhang Shifan's style of work." .These evidences are too important and must not be handed over to their people, otherwise we will lose our heads, and we can rest assured only if we hand them over to the prince." Yang Shixun said.
"So that's the case. This king didn't expect this Shifan to be so domineering. You can present any evidence you have to this king, and this king will definitely punish him severely!" Chu Xuanchen shouted angrily.
"Yes, my lord." After Yang Shixun and others finished speaking, they hurriedly handed over all the evidence collected earlier to Chu Xuanchen.
They didn't trust Chu Xuanchen at first, and they didn't dare to hand over the evidence to him until they observed that Chu Xuanchen was a good official for the country and the people and was hostile to Zhang Shifan.
People in Jiangzhou have suffered from Zhang Shifan for a long time, and they all hope that Chu Xuanchen can do justice for the heavens and deal with him-
Finally, Yang Shixun also told Chu Xuanchen a secret about the upright official Chen Xi.
As soon as Chu Xuanchen heard the secret, he prepared to make an example of others and cut off Zhang Shifan's most important arm.
He immediately brought a hundred Xuan Ce troops, and went directly to the door of Chen Xi's house. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
