He didn't expect that he just came to arrest him casually and caught Chen Xi taking bribes on the spot.
It can be seen that Chen Xi usually accepts a lot of bribes.
If Yang Shixun hadn't told him that Chen Xi's house had a cellar full of gold and silver treasures, he really wouldn't have come to arrest him.
He immediately said: "Chen Xi, I have received a tip-off and someone has accused you of corruption and bribery.
Say that your embezzled gold and silver treasures are hidden in the cellar of your home.
Come here, open the cellar for me, I want to find out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo Li and others immediately walked to the yard. There was a cellar full of radishes and cabbages in the yard. The soldiers immediately moved the vegetables from the cellar away and found that there were several thick boards blocking the bottom.
They moved the board away again, and in an instant, everything inside was exposed.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw that there were many antique jades, gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver, and bags of grain piled high in the cellar!
Everyone quickly exclaimed, "Oh my God! This cellar is full of money and food. This Chen Xi is really a greedy man!"
"This cellar is really big, there should be a lot of treasures hidden there."
"This Chen Xi is so smart. Others thought it was vegetables, but who knew it was all gold and silver?"
Seeing that the treasures he had embezzled for many years were discovered, Chen Xi's body softened and he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down. This must be a misunderstanding. This official is not corrupt, there is no..."
"Chen Xi boldly, you have stolen and gained, and you still dare to quibble! Come here, count all the treasures and grains he embezzled, hand them over to the government office, and use them all for disaster relief!"
Chu Xuanchen said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mo Li and others said.
After Chu Xuanchen finished giving his instructions, layers of chill had already gathered in his eyes.
He stared at Chen Xi and said through gritted teeth, "The people in Jiangzhou are suffering, not having enough to eat or clothing to keep warm.
As a parent and official of the people, you are greedy for profit, corrupt and pervert the law.
Come, list all his charges, drag him to the execution ground, read out the charges on the spot, and execute him!"
"Ah... Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
Chen Xi didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen would really dare to kill him. He was already trembling with fear and his face was ashen.
Chu Xuanchen stared at him coldly, "You are corrupt and use power for personal gain. Even if I kill you, it will be an easy matter.
Today, I will do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for the people.
Someone, drag him to the execution ground and execute him immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Chen Xi was dragged to the execution ground, and the beheading officer read out his charges on the spot. He was beheaded amidst the spitting of the people.
Chu Xuanchen sent people to search his home, and also checked several of his accomplices, and found that all of his accomplices were huge corrupt.
He immediately ordered people to arrest all those people, ransack their homes, and then put them in jail. After the evidence of the crime was found, they would be dealt with according to law.
The common people cheered when they saw that corrupt officials were caught and they received food and money from the government.
King Li's move was really pleasing to the people and made people applaud.
When Zhang Shifan learned that Chu Xuanchen had killed his right-hand man, he was so angry that his crown split and he became furious.
Such a good Chu Xuanchen dares to kill his people, so don't blame him for being rude.
The last time he bribed martial arts masters to assassinate Yun Ruoyue was unsuccessful.
This time, he will kill them as well as his wife to avoid future trouble!
