Yu Wenxian didn't say anything when he was pushed. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and walked out unsteadily. It was obvious that he was drunk.
Chu Xuanchen didn't expect there to be such a person among the officials.
He really didn't know how this person became a prison warden. If he was in charge of the prison, he might misjudge the case and cause many unjust cases to be committed.
He didn't know anything about these minor characters.
He would have to send someone to investigate later.
As soon as Yu Wenxian was dragged out, Su Cheng hurriedly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Your Highness, this Yu Wenxian is a drunkard. Not only is he always late and leaves early, but he also doesn't want to improve himself. This kind of person is a disgrace to us officials. If there's a chance, this official will definitely report him to the Emperor and ask him to remove him from his position and send him home to plant sweet potatoes. "
Chu Xuanchen didn't want to pay attention to these people. What he really wanted to meet was another person.
He said, "Lord Su, why hasn't Jiangzhou Governor Zhang Shifan arrived yet?"
Su Cheng was surprised. "Your Highness, you mean Lord Zhang. Lord Zhang has been very busy recently. He might be too busy with the flood control, so he'll be late."
At this moment, heavy footsteps came from outside.
A tall and sturdy man in his early forties, dressed in a green official robe, walked in hurriedly.
After the man walked in, his hawk-like eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed arrogantly on Chu Xuanchen.
Then, he raised his head and cupped his hands at Chu Xuanchen. "Jiangzhou Governor Zhang Shifan greets The Emperor of Li."
"No need for formalities." Chu Xuanchen coldly glanced at Zhang Shifan. When he saw the arrogant look in his eyes, his face immediately darkened.
He had investigated and found that Zhang Shifan was in cahoots with Su Cheng.
He was a first-rank military official and had control over Jiangzhou's military and political affairs. His prestige and power in Jiangzhou was even greater than Su Cheng's. That was why he was arrogant and insufferably arrogant.
Now that he saw him today, it was indeed so.
He must have been late on purpose today to give him, the imperial envoy, a show of strength.
"Why is Lord Zhang late?" Chu Xuanchen said lightly.
His voice was deep and unfathomable, making people unable to understand him.
Zhang Shifan immediately cupped his hands and said condescendingly, "This official didn't sleep well last night and is feeling a little unwell today. That's why I'm late!"
Chu Xuanchen's eyes turned cold when he saw that Zhang Shifan didn't refer to him as' this official 'and instead referred to himself as' this official '. However, he didn't lose his temper.
This Zhang Shifan could cover the sky with one hand in Jiang District and had 50,000 elite soldiers under him.
He probably saw that he only had 2,000 Xuance Army with him and felt that he was no match for him. That was why he dared to be so arrogant.
He said, "Wang's Wangfei is proficient in medicine. I wonder where Lord Wang is feeling unwell. Wang can let Wangfei take a look at you."
Zhang Shifan cupped his hands and raised his head. "There's no need, Your Highness. This official only has an old illness. I'll be fine with more rest. There's no need to trouble Princess. "
Su Cheng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Zhang Shifan's disrespectful attitude towards Chu Xuanchen. He hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Your Highness, since Lord Zhang is already here, would Your Highness please move to the dining room and try the food this official has prepared for Your Highness?"
Chu Xuanchen nodded. "Mn, alright. Everyone, go ahead and eat."
When it was time to eat, Su Cheng and Zhang Shifan sat at the same table as Chu Xuanchen.
Su Cheng ate the entire meal with fear and trepidation, but Zhang Shifan was arrogant and conceited the entire time.
Suddenly, he pointed at Mo Li, who was standing behind Chu Xuanchen. "This must be Commandant Mo? This official is a bit thirsty. Could you pour this official a cup of tea? "
