Chapter 237 First Meeting and Conspiracy

Mu Nihuang swung the swords in the two men's hands, rolled over, and kicked the two young men in the chest with her legs. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin could only use their swords as shields and were kicked to the ground.

Although it was a sparring match, Shen Qingzhou could see with his keen eyes that although both of them were restrained, the two young masters had already used 80% to 90% of their strength, while Mu Nihuang had only used 40% at most.

However, Mu Nihuang can be in the top ten of the Langya Masters List. Even though many people will not be on the list, it can be compared that the martial arts in this world are much worse than those in "Joy of Life".

"Are you okay?" Xiao Jingrui pulled Yan Yujin up and asked.

"Not bad. You've made great progress by being able to master these moves this year." Mu Nihuang smiled at the two people who stood up.

"Sister Nihuang, have I made greater progress?" Yan Yujin asked in a playful manner. He has a lively personality.

"Jingrui has made greater progress." Mu Nihuang said seriously, with a hint of deliberateness.

Even though these two young masters are insignificant in her hands, they are ranked second and tenth on the Langya Young Masters List. They are real young talents.

"Thank you, Princess, for the compliment," Xiao Jingrui said a little happily. It is always good to be praised.

"Does his family have a teacher from the Tianquan Sword Sect? I only have sister Xia Dong to teach me. Of course he is better than me." Yan Yujin said, and was patted on the back by Xiao Jingrui.

"All good, they have made great progress." Mu Nihuang said.

"Sister, next time don't test our skills as soon as you see us. There are so many people watching us. It would be embarrassing if we can't beat you." Yan Yujin said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll try you alone next time." Mu Nihuang said with a smile, preparing to turn around and leave.

"Hey, where have you two been?" Mu Nihuang realized something and turned around to ask.

"I went to pick up a friend. He was not feeling well, so I brought him to Beijing to recuperate." Xiao Jingrui said.

"Yeah." Mu Nihuang didn't care. She led her men to mount their horses and enter the imperial capital. Followed by about thirty soldiers, they slowly entered the imperial capital.

Suddenly, Mu Nihuang looked up. As an expert, she could feel that a pair of eyes were following her. She looked up and saw a young man in official uniform, with a bookish air and a hint of righteousness, staring at her and smiling at her.

Mu Nihuang's mind turned, and she was a little surprised. She saw the other party's official uniform, which was not something that an ordinary minor official could wear. A third-rank official, could it be Shen Zheng?

Shen Qingzhou has the Song of Righteousness and has acted fairly for many years. No matter why, he has cultivated this temperament.

Mu Nihuang also nodded slightly. She believed that one should be kind to others even when one was not sure of the specific situation.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. It sounded like there were many more people than the one she brought with her. When she turned around, she saw that a team of horsemen had stopped.

"Brother." Xiao Jingrui looked at Zhuo Qingyao who was riding one of the tall horses and asked curiously. Zhuo Qingyao nodded slightly and helped an old couple out from the carriage behind him.

He also saw Shen Qingzhou on the city wall. To him, the other party was the most important person in this occasion.

This time, according to the original plan, it was to report to the Censorate and then to His Majesty, but from the moment Shen Qingzhou was about to take up his post, this matter changed. The prince was not a fool, and he had known for years that Shen Qingzhou and Prince Yu were a bit close. Shen Qingzhou had helped the Ministry of Personnel in his promotion, but he was also in line with his own camp and did not completely side with anyone. He also returned the favor, and there was no problem with the Ministry of Revenue's allocation of funds to Tanzhou.

Especially as the Shen family business developed better and better and traded all over the world, they knew Shen Zheng's status in Shenjia Village and wanted Shen Qingzhou to assist them. With the huge wealth of the Shen family business, it would be a great help. The prince and Prince Yu were also short of money.

This time, it was Xie Yu who gave advice to the prince. Knowing that Duke Qing was bullying the local people, he specifically asked Zhuo Qingyao to escort an elderly couple to the capital to file a complaint.

Just go to the Jinling government office and file a complaint. According to Shen Qingzhou's character, he cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. Whether you do it or not, no matter what you do, you and Prince Yu will become alienated. This is a political struggle. It's not to kill you in one go, and it's impossible to kill you. I will use any means to do it. Even if it's a little bit in my favor, it's a good thing.

Moreover, this time, he also arrived in Jinling on time, with Mu Nihuang as a witness, so let's see what to do about this matter.

"Lord Shen, an elderly couple from Binzhou came to Beijing to file a complaint. I escorted them all the way to the imperial capital." Zhuo Qingyao said loudly.

"Who are you suing?" Shen Qingzhou spoke with such force that everyone inside and outside the city gate could hear it clearly. The reason why he came to the city gate was for this matter.

He wanted to be aboveboard and directly use the Duke of Qing as proof. There were many powerful people in the imperial capital. Before in Tanzhou, he could use a small official to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, but in the imperial capital, he had to find a bigger chicken.

"Sir Shen, I am suing the relatives of Duke Qing for depriving others of their real estate as private property, beating and killing people, and chasing them all the way. If it weren't for someone's help, we wouldn't be able to make it to the imperial capital alive."

"This is indeed the case. Sanyang, take them to the Jinling government office and let me investigate the matter carefully. Old man, I am Shen Zheng, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Yes." Shen Sanyang has cooperated with Shen Qingzhou for many years and has long been obedient to Shen Qingzhou's orders. It was all thanks to Shen Qingzhou that he was transformed from an ordinary, somewhat stubborn person to the sixth-rank guard he is today.

Many people inside and outside the city knew that this was the new governor of Jingzhao Prefecture who had accepted the complaint.

Mei Changsu was in the carriage and was not surprised to hear this. He knew very well that someone was plotting something. Shen Qingzhou was no fool and he was just going with the flow. Moreover, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, and Princess Nihuang were all players in the game. According to common sense, the old couple should have entered the city two days ago.

Shen Qingzhou felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at him. It was Mu Nihuang. Mu Nihuang was not a fool. This time, she went to the city to complain, which was too coincidental. She was being used. Now, her first suspect was Shen Qingzhou.

The 100,000 cavalrymen under her command were loyal to her and were very capable. Some things were clear to them once they thought about them, and she was not happy about this kind of conspiracy.

She knew that the other party was famous in the North for his talent and righteousness. She had guessed this in her heart just now, and now she was sure of it.

……

“Your Highness, Shen Zheng happened to meet the old couple at the city gate and has accepted the lawsuit. The entire imperial capital is aware of it.

Also present were Princess Nihuang, who had just returned from the southern border, as well as Zhuo Qingyao, Xiao Jingrui, and Yan Yujin. ” Qin Prajna, who was dressed in red, said to Prince Yu.

"What a coincidence! It's obvious that he had prepared for it in advance. It was a few days later than expected. He wanted Princess Nihuang to serve as evidence. She is really suitable." Prince Yu frowned.

"Your Highness, please do not harbor any resentment. This matter was designed by the Crown Prince's subordinates. Shen Zheng is not a member of the Crown Prince's faction. He is just too upright in his actions."
