Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Volume I Chapter 1741 Strange Official

When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he didn't make a sound, and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.

According to Su Cheng's words, he immediately judged that he and Chen Xi were in the same group.

When he was in the imperial city, he would often send people to investigate the details of these officials.

His people had already told him about Jiangzhou officials, so he knew most of them well.

This Chen Xi is clearly a huge corrupt man, yet he pretends to be an upright official.

His so-called love of eating vegetables, people often pick vegetables for him, but there is another mystery behind it.

For example, someone gave him a basket of Chinese cabbage. It was only cabbage on the surface, but underneath it was hidden treasures such as gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, and emerald cabbage.

Those who give bribes are just giving gifts in the name of giving food.

People who don't know it often see people giving him vegetables, and they really regard him as an upright official, but they don't know that this is a trick he secretly accepts bribes.

He and Su Cheng conspired together to commit corruption and formed an interest group long ago.

They could fool the people below, but they couldn't fool him.

He pretended to believe Su Cheng's words, and said: "Master Chen is sympathetic to the difficulties of the people, and he is dedicated to serving the people. Everyone here should learn from him."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone replied.

At this time, Su Cheng pointed to the official in green clothes and said, "My lord, this is the judge Yang Shixun."

The official in green clothes came out immediately, trembling, and stammering: "Your official... Yang... Yang Shixun, see... the prince."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Seeing this, Yang Shixun blushed with anxiety. He glared at the crowd angrily, "You...why are you... laughing at me?"

Su Cheng immediately gave him a disgusted look, "Okay, Mr. Yang, you can't even speak clearly, don't dirty the prince's ears, you go back first."

After finishing speaking, he said to Chu Xuanchen: "I'm sorry, my lord, this Lord Yang is like this, he stutters and stumbles, don't be angry."

"It's okay, I think this Lord Yang is quite interesting." Chu Xuanchen said.

At this time, Su Cheng pointed to a short and thin official who was dozing off on a chair and said, "My lord, this is Yu Wenxian, the warden. He is in charge of Jiangzhou prison affairs."

That Yu Wenxian was taking a nap, but when he heard his name, he jumped up in fright, "Who, who is my name?"

Seeing him like this, Su Cheng was furious and said, "My lord, you smell like alcohol, did you drink too much today? Do you know what occasion this is? How dare you drink too much on such an important occasion?" You came to see the prince so drunk, you simply didn't take the prince seriously."

Hearing what Su Cheng said, Chu Xuanchen sniffed lightly, and sure enough, from Yu Wenxian's direction, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

His face suddenly darkened.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Su Cheng stared at Yu Wenxian with a look of complacency.

Yu Wenxian was startled by Su Cheng, and quickly stood up straight, but because of his long-term drunkenness, his waist was sore and his legs were weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Fortunately, Yang Shixun who was next to him helped him, so he stood still.

After standing still, he yawned, then shook his head, and said drunkenly: "I'm an official, Yu Wenxian, see the prince."

Chu Xuanchen stared at him coldly, "Okay, Mr. Yu, if you haven't sobered up yet, I think you'd better go back and sober up before coming back."

"Did you hear that? Yu Wenxian, why don't you retreat quickly? Come on, drag Mr. Yu down, and don't let him stain the eyes of the prince!" Su Cheng said, and immediately pushed Yu Wenxian in disgust. .
