Chapter 1754: Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Zhang Shifan glared at him fearfully.
Seeing these workers scolding him and getting angry, he was so angry that his face turned livid.
Chu Xuanchen deliberately revealed this matter in front of these workers, certainly to use public anger against him.
He had become the target of public criticism, and he was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would really take advantage of him, so he gritted his teeth and had an idea in his mind.
He glared at Chu Xuanchen bitterly, gritted his teeth and said: "I am an important minister of the imperial court, and I am busy with military affairs every day. How can I take care of these things?
If there is really a mistake in occupying their land, it may be because my housekeeper did not do his job well and accidentally made a mistake. This has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that Zhang Shifan finally admitted, Chu Xuanchen said: "In that case, what do you think Master Zhang should do?"
Zhang Shifan glared at Chu Xuanchen, anger boiling in his chest, and killing intent jumping in his eyes.
He said word by word: "Come here, go to Zhang Mansion to find Butler Liu. If he really accidentally occupied the villagers' land by mistake, I will ask him to check it one by one and return it on the spot.
Prince Li, is this okay?"
"Master Zhang is fair and strict, but this steward has seized farmland and forced people to die. He cannot just return the land.
According to the law, he should be killed!"
Chu Xuanchen said.
"Yes, this housekeeper deserves to be killed!"
The workers also shouted.
Zhang Shifan's face had turned into an angry lion, "Okay, Prince Li, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
This aroused public outrage, and since there were both witnesses and material evidence, he had no choice but to sacrifice the housekeeper.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen looked at the landowners angrily, "In addition to the housekeeper who deserves to be killed, you rich people who dare to seize people's land and kill people should also be killed!"
When the landowners heard this, they were all so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and trembled all over.
They quickly looked at Zhang Shifan, hoping that Zhang Shifan would 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 weakened and they knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. You guys have realized your mistake. You guys will never dare to do it again!"
Chu Xuanchen's body overflowed with the majesty of a king, "These landlords have seized people's land, killed dozens of people, and committed heinous crimes. I will punish them severely in accordance with the law.
Moli, take people to raid their homes, take back all the land they have seized, and return it to the people!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Moli held his hand.
"Chen Xi, drag these bullies to Caishikou, read out their charges in front of the people, and then behead them immediately!"
Chu Xuanchen said angrily.
When Chen Xi heard this, his heart trembled.
Why did the prince ask him to be executed?
Could it be that the prince suspected him and was trying to scare the monkeys?
It seems that this prince is ruthless, ruthless and terrifying.
He was very worried and had to say quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he waved to the officials behind him, "Come here, hurry up and arrest these greedy bullies and take them to the vegetable market for execution!"
Immediately more than a dozen officials went to arrest those landlords.
The landowners were already paralyzed and trembling with fear.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen deal with these landowners, the villagers and workers nearby all cheered.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is truly the great master of Qingtian!"
"Great, these landowners will finally be beheaded, and our land will be recovered!"
"Yes, we have endured so many years of hardship and can finally take back our land. Thank you, Your Majesty."
