Chapter 236: Jinling City Gate
After Shen Qingzhou's words, the smile on Ji Ying's face changed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. No, you didn't even think about it, wondering if they were framing you.

In fact, the matter had little to do with him. He was just ordered by Duke Qing to do this in order to curry his favor. However, he failed in his mission and was just bumped into by Mei Changsu and seen by Shen Qingzhou. He really regretted it.

He can't afford to offend either of these two people. The Jiangzuo League can make his Shuangsha Gang unable to make a living on the water, and Shen Qingzhou can make him unable to gain any benefit on land. It's too scary.

For Shen Qingzhou, doing justice is what he values ​​most. He is not afraid of receiving unjust, false and wrong cases. He will just convict the wrongly accused party. Anyway, it is justice anyway.

There were also many false accusations in Tanzhou, but with the reminder of the Song of Righteousness, he was so clear-headed that many people gave up the idea.

However, now is the feudal era, and the flow of information is not very smooth. People outside the continent do not particularly know about this.

He was taking up the post this time. In essence, he was already the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, so he could naturally take on cases. Even after arriving in the imperial capital, he had no intention of changing his style.

Even when he came to the center of Daliang, he felt that he could do something big. Sanyang County and Dongyang Prefecture did a good job, but in Tanzhou City, although he was still doing justice, he was still a little restrained. He was afraid that he would be too harsh and it would be difficult to come to the imperial capital.

"Shen Zheng, Lord Shen, I am the steward of the Duke Qing's Mansion, and he is my servant. There may be any misunderstanding. Lord, you should be discerning. The local manager of the Shen family business has always had a long-standing relationship with my Duke Qing's Mansion." A middle-aged man with a bit of arrogance on the side bowed and said.

This is not a threat, it's about building relationships. The Shen family business is all over the world, so it's normal for them to have relationships with local tyrants. Of course, it's not considered dependence. Today's Shen family business is a behemoth, and many people want to get more things and make more money.

He was also trying to flatter himself. He knew some small shopkeepers, and the local big shopkeeper had direct conversations with Duke Qing.

"Nonsense. Order Shenjia Village to find out what happened in the area. There is no clear explanation. All materials from Shenjia Village are not allowed to enter the area. The local agent has been temporarily removed." Shen Qingzhou's words directly determined the outcome of the matter.

"Yes." A man in the middle standing aside was writing in his hand. The butler of the Duke of Qing's Mansion changed his expression greatly. Is this such a joke? This is all money.

But people around Shen Qingzhou knew that this was his character. It would be abnormal if he knew something was unfair and did nothing about it.

Today, the Shen family business has the confidence. Since they have the goods on hand, they are not afraid of the local people colluding to be agents. This is all money.

"Sir Shen, I was talking nonsense. I hope you can forgive me." The housekeeper knelt down directly. This cut off the financial resources of the Duke Qing's Mansion. The local agency was the private business of the Duke Qing.

He didn't think Shen Qingzhou was talking nonsense. Others might not know, but those of them who had some connection with the Shen's business didn't know that Shen Zheng was the key to the rise of the Shen's business.

"There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean." Shen Qingzhou didn't say anything more. What was there to say to a butler?

As he chanted in a low voice, the speed of the sailboat began to increase. Although he was curious about Mei Changsu, this was not the right time to meet him. The other party would enter the imperial capital sooner or later, and he had to use him to drive out the next group of people before he would have a chance to take the throne.

Moreover, the other party is Jiang Zuo Meilang. If he can get him, he can get the whole world. He has no intention of silencing him. Now that the two of them are communicating, it must be known to outsiders.

"When you go to Beijing, you can look for the Shen family company to escort you." The sound of thunder spread far away, surprising Mei Changsu, Fei Liu and others. Judging from the sound, his martial arts skills must be quite good.

The sailboat gradually went farther and farther away, and then, more than a dozen huge cargo ships appeared immediately, which was unexpected. "Old man, I am the general manager of the 14 states of Jiangzuo of the Shen family business. You can get on my ship. Master Mei, how are you these days?" A middle-aged man in his forties bowed to Mei Changsu on the small boat.

"Manager Zhang, I didn't expect that you would be traveling in person this time." Mei Changsu said.

"The headquarters sent a message that if Lord Shen is harmed in the slightest here, I will no longer be the shopkeeper. My uncle also sent a message that if Lord Shen is dissatisfied with anything, he will make me return to Sanyang County and kneel in the ancestral hall.

Boss Ji, what you did today is the first time that Lord Shen has encountered such a thing since he left Tanzhou. It makes me feel very embarrassed. "Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Ji Ying.

"This, Shopkeeper Zhang." Ji Ying wanted to cry, this is the God of Wealth.

"Since you have connections with the Duke of Qing's Mansion, the Duke of Qing will not accept any goods for the time being. From now on, the Shuangsha Gang will reduce its share by 80% for sea transport escort."

"Manager Zhang, you absolutely can't do that." Ji Ying was really about to cry. Escorting at sea was a lucrative job, and the Shen family business was well-traveled and willing to share the money. However, the money didn't matter who it was given to. Since then, their power had declined greatly, and they had no ability to retaliate. If he lost his share, others would make up for it.

"Master Mei, we are going back to the Langzhou headquarters to report this matter to Manager Shen together with the other managers. See you later."

"See you later." More than a dozen huge ships left.

"Master Mei, he is ignorant. I hope you can show some leniency for him." They left, and Ji Ying looked at Mei Changsu with an even more bitter expression. There was also a great god here, and this was the most important thing.

The Shen family business has risen in recent years. It is powerful and can bring in profits, but that is extra. The Jiangzuo League has the final say in the Fourteen Prefectures of Jiangzuo. The Shen family business is, after all, just a business. It's just that no one will offend it, and some even try to curry favor with it, because it can bring you huge benefits.

"The river water is cold. Before spring comes, brothers from the Shuangsha Gang should not go into the water." After Mei Changsu finished speaking, he also floated away. Ji Ying really felt that this day was worse than death. Fortunately, he still had a share in the business and could go into the water again after spring. He didn't kill them all, but his income was bound to fall.

……

The city gate of Jinling.

Shen Qingzhou traveled along the way and finally arrived in Jinling City. He could actually arrive earlier, but he went to the area around Jinling City to investigate. He had to be prepared for what to do next.

This Jinling city did disappoint him a bit. The city was prosperous, but outside the city, it seemed like two different worlds.

He has made up his mind to improve Jinling City. The first step is to build roads and sell houses. Cement has been proven in Dongyang Prefecture.

On the city gate tower, Shen Qingzhou, dressed in plain clothes, was watching several people fighting below the city. A beautiful woman wearing silver armor and looking very capable was fighting with two men who looked like young masters.

He estimated that the combat power of these two young men could reach the seventh rank. As for this woman, she was still limited by her female strength and was not much different from He Daoren. In fact, she was a little worse than him and could be considered to have just entered the ninth rank.
