The accounts recorded Yuan Fu's experience, process, events, and related personnel.
In fact, Yuan Fu had even left behind the other party's handwritten letter. Some people had even signed their names.
"I really didn't expect that there would be so many parasites in my Chang Shan Kingdom!”
Liu Chen was so angry that he started laughing. He had suppressed the great clans, but he had never imagined that this was only the tip of the iceberg!
"Yuan Fu, do you know your sins?" Liu Chen said coldly.
Yuan Fu was unable to defend himself. With a thud, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Spare me, Your Highness! In order to become the Prime Minister, I spent a huge amount of money. If I don't accumulate wealth, I won't be able to continue my promotion.”
From Yuan Fu's appearance, it seemed as if he was taking bribes as a matter of course.
This caused the surrounding commoners to curse out loud, wishing they could drown him in saliva.
"Humph."
Liu Chen coldly snorted and said,""As the Prime Minister, Yuan Fu knowingly broke the law and took bribes. He was removed from his post as Prime Minister and was executed!”
Hearing Liu Chen's punishment, Yuan Fu was completely stunned on the spot, and his face turned somewhat pale.
Even Guo Jia, Qiushou, Tian Feng, and the others found it hard to believe!
This was a member of Runan's Yuan family, a family of four generations and three dukes. Even in the entire Great Han Dynasty, it was a first-class family!
Liu Chen did not give any face at all. Wasn't this making enemies with the Yuan family?!
"Your Highness, I am the Minister of State appointed by the Imperial Court. You must report to the Imperial Court before making a decision," Yuan Fu wailed.”
"This king has said it before, this is the Changshan Kingdom, this king has the final say here!”Liu Chen said coldly. After embezzling so much of his money, he still wanted to leave? Dream on!
"Men, drag him down and behead him!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged Yuan Fu away. Regardless of whether he was the Minister of State or anything else, Liu Chen had the final say in Chang Mountain.
"Your Highness, I'm a close relative of the Yuan Family in Runan. Even if you don't want to be a monk, you should at least be respectful! Deacon Yuan is one of the three dukes of the current dynasty!"
Yuan Fu actually used Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui to threaten Liu Chen.
"This is this Prince's Changshan Kingdom, not your Yuan Clan's Runan County!”Liu Chen said coldly,"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the commoners. It's useless even if His Majesty comes!"”
"Your Highness, Your Highness…"
Yuan Fu found it hard to believe. He didn't expect that bringing out the three dukes of the Yuan Family would be useless. Instead, it had angered Liu Chen.
In disbelief, Yuan Fu was dragged away by the soldiers. As the commoners watched, he raised his hand and slashed down, and a head rolled down.
"Lord Qingtian!"
"Your Highness is our father and mother!"
"As expected, only Your Highness is truly considerate of us commoners!”
The commoners all knelt down and kowtowed, calling Liu Chen selfless. Yuan Fu, who had a noble background, was also mercilessly beheaded.
If it were anyone else, they would have already had a good chat and each of them would have drunk three cups of wine as punishment. To them, the commoners were just livestock that they could command at will!
Qiushou and Tian Feng wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, they gave up. This was not a choice!
It was just that they did not expect that Liu Chen would actually choose the commoners over the aristocratic families!
Liu Chen did not care about the voices around him. Instead, he looked at Hua Tuo and the other doctors."Divine Doctor Hua, can this old farmer's body be saved?”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. After our treatment, this old farmer's life is no longer in danger. However, I suggest that he be sent to a clinic and receive comprehensive treatment.”
Hua Tuo looked at Liu Chen with eyes full of admiration.
This was the first time he had seen an honest official who did not hesitate to offend the aristocrats to seek justice for the common people.
Liu Chen nodded. He then coldly looked at Zhang and said,
"I took 20 mu of old farmland by force, worth 20,000 yuan. Considering that I made up for my mistakes, I will be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane, fined 100,000 yuan, and serve three years of hard labor!”
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhang said gratefully after escaping death.
"The old farmer's 20 mu of land will be returned to its original owner. The fine of 100,000 yuan will be divided into 20,000 yuan as compensation for mental damage and medical treatment!”Liu Chen continued to judge.
This made the old farmer's family shed tears of gratitude!
Not only did Liu Chen return justice to them, he returned the land that had been stolen by trickery. He did not expect that there would be monetary subsidies. This made their family laugh through their tears, thanking Liu Chen for saving their lives!
"Zilong."
Liu Chen looked at Zhao Yun and handed the account book to him." All the relevant personnel above are to be arrested and brought to justice! Those who dared to obstruct or escape would be killed without mercy!”
"Yes, sir! I will obey!"
Zhao Yun took the accounts and left with a murderous aura. The entire army of tens of thousands of soldiers immediately followed behind and headed to the counties in all directions of the Changshan Kingdom.
Today, the Chang Shan Kingdom was destined to not be peaceful, especially for those despots and aristocrats!
After everything was settled, Liu Chen and the others left one after another amidst the voices of the commoners calling him Lord Qingtian.
Guo Jia also blended into the crowd and left.
By the time Liu Chen thought of this person and looked around, Guo Jia had already disappeared into the crowd.
"What are you looking for, Your Highness? Is there anything I can do for you?”Qiushou asked in confusion.
"After this king designed it, the commoners were very puzzled. However, a man quickly explained it. This king feels that this person must be a talent.”
"I didn't expect to disappear in the blink of an eye."”
"Your Highness, should we send someone to investigate?" Tian Feng asked.
"There's no need. If I'm here, I'll naturally visit again. If not, the melon that is forced is not sweet." Liu Chen didn't mind.
This was also the reason why he didn't know that person was Guo Jia.
After a pause, Liu Chen looked at the two of them and said with a smile,"Yuan Fu is corrupt and has accepted bribes. Now that the position of Prime Minister is vacant, I still need the two of you to assist me in governing Chang Shan.”
"Lord, this is my duty!”
The two of them said in unison.
Liu Chen nodded in satisfaction. The Minister of State was appointed by the Imperial Court. He had long wanted to find an excuse to replace him with one of his own, and now he had finally found an opportunity.
Moreover, he could even make a move on those great clans.
This matter could be said to be killing two birds with one stone!
"You enjoy the three times increase in food production from this king's farmland, but you don't even want to borrow books. Other than causing trouble and dragging you down, you've accomplished nothing.
"Now is the perfect opportunity to remove all of them! Chang Mountain could only have one voice in the future! That is this king's order!"
Liu Chen thought to himself.
