Chu Xuanchen glanced at them and said, "Please come in, let's talk in the room."
Then, several people followed him into the room.
As soon as they walked into the room and closed the door, several people suddenly changed their sluggish looks and became serious.
Yang Shixun took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shifan, Su Cheng and others are blocking the sky in Jiangzhou, preying on the people, and damaging your reputation. Do you want to bring him down?"
"You don't stutter anymore?"
Chu Xuanchen asked.
Yang Shixun smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, in fact, this official is not a stammerer.
To be honest, I am just pretending to stutter."
"Pretending?
Why are you doing this?"
"Your Majesty, this Jiangzhou is the territory of Zhang Shifan and Su Cheng.
Their power is overwhelming and they run rampant in Jiangzhou and dominate.
The lower officials were dissatisfied with the fact that they were just like the common people, and were unwilling to join in their evil deeds, so they had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, pretending to stutter.
In this way, they will only enjoy making fun of the official all day long and relax their vigilance towards the official. Only then can the official's black gauze hat be preserved to this day."
Yang Shixun said helplessly.
Yu Wenxian also stood up. At this time, he didn't smell of alcohol and looked clean.
He said angrily, "My lord, the officials and others are the same.
As the warden of the prison, I manage the affairs of the prison, and I am often coerced and induced by them to ask me to do things for them.
Sometimes when Zhang Shifan wanted to protect someone, he would come and force the official to make arbitrary decisions.
In order to enforce the law impartially and redress the grievances of the people, the subordinate had to pretend to be drunk, pretend to forget his instructions, and just go about his business, which offended them."
"The same goes for lower officials and others. They can't stand Zhang Shifan's arrogant and arrogant way of running rampant in the countryside just because he is Su Ming's protégé.
The lower officials did not want to associate with him, but they could not fight him and were afraid of being persecuted by him, so they had to keep a low profile and be cautious as officials."
Several other officials also echoed with angry faces.
Yang Shixun said, "Your Majesty, we have a lot of evidence that Zhang Shifan, Su Cheng and others have been corrupt, accepted bribes, and committed evil deeds. We are going to hand it over to the Prince so that he can deal with him and eliminate harm for Jiangzhou!"
"oh?
Then why didn’t you give it to me before, and why are you giving it now?”
Chu Xuanchen said.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, we didn't know you well before, and we were afraid that you were no different from him.
It wasn't until we saw that you worked so hard for the people and couldn't stand Zhang Shifan's style that we knew you were a good official.
These evidences are too important and must not be handed over to their people, otherwise our heads will not be saved. We can only rest assured if they are handed over to the prince."
Yang Shixun said.
"I see, I didn't expect Zhang Shifan to be so domineering.
If you have any evidence, you can present it to me, and I will definitely punish him severely!"
Chu Xuanchen shouted angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Yang Shixun and others finished speaking, they quickly handed over all the evidence they had collected to Chu Xuanchen.
They did not trust Chu Xuanchen at first. It was not until they observed that Chu Xuanchen was a good official who served the country and the people and was hostile to Zhang Shifan that they dared to hand over the evidence to him.
The people of Jiangzhou have been suffering from Zhang Shifan for a long time, and they all hope that Chu Xuanchen can do justice for heaven 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 this secret, he was ready to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and cut off Zhang Shifan's most important arm.
He immediately led a hundred Xuance troops and went directly to the door of Chen Xi's house.
