When he heard Chu Xuanchen's words, Zhang Shifan glared at him fearfully.
When he saw the workers scold him and become agitated, he was so angry that his face turned ashen.
Chu Xuanchen deliberately exposed this matter in front of these workers in order to take advantage of the public's anger to deal with him.
He was now the target of public criticism, and he was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would really submit a memorial. He gritted his teeth and came up with an idea.
He glared hatefully at Chu Xuanchen and said through gritted teeth, "This official is an important official of the imperial court. I am busy with military affairs every day, so how could I care about these things? If I really wrongly took their land, then it could be because my housekeeper was incompetent and accidentally made a mistake. This official has nothing to do with this official. "
Seeing that Zhang Shifan finally admitted it, Chu Xuanchen said, "Since this is the case, what does Official Zhang think we should do?"
Zhang Shifan glared at Chu Xuanchen angrily. Anger surged in his chest and killing intent danced in his eyes.
He said word by word, "Someone, go to the Zhang residence and find Housekeeper Liu. If he really accidentally took over the villagers' land, this official will have him verify everything and return it on the spot. The Emperor of Li, is this fine? "
"Official Zhang is fair and impartial. However, this housekeeper forcibly took over the farmland and forced people to die. Just returning the land is not enough. According to the law, he should be beheaded! "Chu Xuanchen said.
"Yes, this housekeeper should be killed!" The workers also shouted.
Zhang Shifan's face had already twisted into an angry lion, "Fine. The Emperor of Li, don't worry. This official will definitely give you an explanation."
He had already aroused the public's anger, and there were witnesses and evidence. He could only sacrifice the housekeeper.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen angrily looked at the landlords, "Other than the housekeeper who should be killed, you rich people who dare to forcibly take over the villagers' land and force people to die should also be killed!"
When the landlords heard this, they were all covered in cold sweat and trembled from head to toe.
They quickly looked at Zhang Shifan, hoping that Zhang Shifan would plead for them, but Zhang Shifan completely ignored them.
They suddenly realized that Zhang Shifan was unreliable.
They were so scared that their legs went soft and they fell to their knees, "Your Highness, please have mercy. We know our wrongs and we won't dare to do it again!"
Chu Xuanchen exuded the majesty of a king. "These landlords forcibly occupied the land of the commoners and caused the deaths of dozens of people. They have committed heinous crimes, and Wang wants to punish them according to the law. Mo Li, take some men and raid their homes. Take back all the land they've taken and return it to the people! "
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Li cupped his hands.
"Chen Xi, drag these bullies to the market and announce their crimes in front of the people. Then immediately behead them!" Chu Xuanchen said angrily.
When Chen Xi heard this, his heart trembled.
Why did the prince ask him to supervise the execution?
Could it be that His Highness was suspecting him and wanted to make an example out of him?
It seemed that this prince's methods were thunderous and ruthless. He was very terrifying.
His heart was very nervous, but he had no choice but to quickly say: "Yes, Your Highness."
After saying this, he waved his hand at the officials behind him, "Come, quickly arrest these greedy bullies and take them to the market to be executed!"
Immediately, more than ten officials went to arrest the landlords.
The landlords were already paralyzed with fear and trembling all over.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen deal with the landlords, the nearby villagers and workers all cheered.
"Your Highness is wise, Your Highness is really a righteous man!"
"Great, these landlords are finally going to be beheaded. We can also take back our land!"
"That's right, we've suffered for so many years and we can finally take back our land. Thank you, Your Highness."
