As the villagers spoke, they actually knelt down to thank Chu Xuanchen.
Seeing that these villagers were all dressed in ragged clothes and were extremely thin and weak, Chu Xuanchen's eyes immediately turned red.
His eyes were deep red as he hurriedly went forward to help them up. "All of you, get up. As long as Wang is in Jiang Zhou, he will definitely uphold justice for you. Yang Shixun, go post notices on the streets and warn those bullies. If anyone has ever forcefully taken the land and property of the people, tell them to return it quickly. Not only do they have to return the land, but they also have to convert the harvest of the land into silver and return it to the people. As long as they can return it all within five days, Wang will let bygones be bygones. But if anyone refuses to return it, kill every one of them you find! "
Yang Shixun hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness."
After he finished speaking, he carefully looked at Chu Xuanchen.
At first, he thought that Chu Xuanchen was the same as Zhang Shifan and the others, a treacherous and corrupt official.
He didn't expect that after meeting him today, he would realize that he wasn't a corrupt official at all. Instead, he was a good official who sincerely wanted to uphold justice for the people.
He felt a trace of admiration for Chu Xuanchen from the bottom of his heart.
After he nodded, he hurriedly led the officials to post the notices.
When Jiang Ning saw this, he also looked at Chu Xuanchen and nodded in praise.
。
When the few landowners who hadn't been caught heard this, they were all terrified. This prince was so iron-fisted, they didn't dare to not return the land.
They were so scared that they fell to their knees and said to Chu Xuanchen, "Your Highness, we confess. We also took some of the villagers' land. We know that we were wrong. We will return the land to the villagers. Your Highness, please spare our lives! "
Chu Xuanchen coldly glanced at them. It seemed that killing the chicken to warn the monkey was quite effective.
He said, "Wang said that as long as you are willing to take the initiative to return the land and confess, Wang will let bygones be bygones!"
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy."
"Lord Zhang, bad news. When Steward Liu heard that you were going to punish him, he … he hanged himself and committed suicide!" At this time, not far away, a servant ran over and told Zhang Shifan.
Zhang Shifan was shocked. "What's going on? Why did Housekeeper Liu commit suicide? "
"He should know that the lord knows about his private occupation of the land. He was afraid of being punished, so he committed suicide to escape punishment, "the servant said.
Zhang Shifan immediately sighed. "The Emperor of Li, what a pity. My steward actually committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
He had already decided to end Housekeeper Liu's life when he had sent someone to call him.
Housekeeper Liu knew too many of his secrets, so of course he had to make the first move.
Now that Housekeeper Liu was dead, Chu Xuanchen couldn't produce any evidence, so he couldn't do anything to him. He could just push everything onto a dead person.
Chu Xuanchen took a deep look at Zhang Shifan. "Wang has already expected this."
"It seems that Your Highness was prepared for today's matter. This official has underestimated Your Highness's ability. His Highness has just arrived in Jiangzhou, but he is bold and resolute in his actions. I admire his iron fist! "Zhang Shifan gritted his teeth and mocked him before he left with his men.
Chu Xuanchen dared to make a fool out of him today.
Just wait, he definitely won't let him off.
He will take back the land that he spat out!
Chu Xuanchen looked coldly at Zhang Shifan's back. If he hadn't made arrangements beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to suppress these troublemaking landlords so quickly.
When he had ordered people to expropriate the land, he had already expected that there would be people causing trouble, so he sent Mo Li to investigate.
In the end, he found out that Zhang Shifan, Su Cheng, and the others had colluded with the landlords to occupy the land. Once he found out, he sent Mo Li to find the victims.
