Chapter 238 Reward
"I already knew about this. I invited him to my house a few days ago for a chat but he declined. I had already guessed this would be the result. He met this couple on his way to take up his post. The prince must have been prepared for this. Where is the information about Binzhou?" Prince Yu said.

"A letter came from Binzhou saying that the Qingguo Mansion is ready, and the Qingguo Duke is willing to hand over the culprit and return the land. It won't cause much trouble. The merchant group headed by the Shen family business in Binzhou is ready to evacuate Binzhou, and the agents of the Qingguo Duke's relatives have all been removed.

Agents in other states have also received the news. If they find out who is the middleman, as long as there is any product flowing into Binzhou, all local agents will be removed. "Qin Prajna hesitated and said.

"Not capable of accomplishing anything." Prince Yu slammed the table. Duke Qing was his helper, and naturally, Binzhou was also his supporter. The Shen family business did business in Binzhou, and the local agent had a complicated relationship with him, which also brought him benefits.

He needs money. It would be strange if he wasn't angry if he lost this channel to make money.

"But from this incident, it seems that Shen Zheng has the final say over the Shen family business, so we must win him over." Qin Prajna said.

This was the first time Shen Qingzhou did this. The Shen family business had withdrawn its agency before, but not doing business in a continent just depended on a single word, and only Shen Qingzhou had the power to do so.

"This prince is aware of this matter." Prince Yu said.

He is a prince, so of course he is not afraid of a merchant group. Even if the Shen family business has become the top business in the world with its unique things, he cannot offend them. If the other party sides with the prince, then he will be really finished. Although the status of merchants is not high, those who have reached this point are entangled with too many powerful people who rely on the Shen family business for their livelihood. He cannot afford to offend them. If he offends them, the position of prince will be really further away.

"Your Highness, there is a piece of news that seems to be true." Qin Prajna said with a frown.

"What's the matter?" Prince Yu said.

"There is a rumor in Shenjia Village that Shen Zheng is about to reach the age of 20, but has not been married for a long time. If there is a beauty in the world, if anyone can let Shen Zheng marry her into the mansion, or if anyone can persuade Shen Zheng to get married and have children, Shenjia Village will definitely reward her handsomely. Zhangjia Village, which is adjacent to Shenjia Village, is also willing to reward her handsomely for this.

Moreover, the senior executives of the company all know that the huge wealth of the Shen family company will definitely be inherited by Shen Zheng’s future descendants.” Qin Prajna said.

She was a little reluctant to say this as it sounded a bit gossipy, but she also knew that this was very valuable information. Most importantly, she didn't want to tell Prince Yu that she wanted the daughter of the Hua clan to capture Shen Qingzhou. However, this matter could no longer be concealed, otherwise, she would definitely be suspected.

"Well, Shen Zheng is quite old and it seems that he is not married yet." Prince Yu thought. He understood why Qin Prajna mentioned this. She wanted him to start from here.

"I have asked someone to investigate this matter. Shen Zheng is too powerful, and people from the Shen family and the business dare not act on their own. In addition, he is dedicated to the public, and it is true that I have never heard that he has any past with anyone, and he does not have a homosexual tendency." Qin Prajna reminded.

Shen Qingzhou has been here for so many years, and he has never thought about these things. In fact, many people have reminded him openly or secretly, but he doesn't care. He has no elders, and the old man is gone. The clan leader can only remind him now, but he can't say anything. Shen Qingzhou is the one who can really make the decisions in Shenjia Village.

"I already know about this. Princess Nihuang has entered the palace, right?" Prince Yu said.

"Yes."

……

Day two.

After returning to the Jinling government office, Shen Qingzhou sat high in the lobby. This was the first time he had opened the office since taking office. Of course, this did not mean that it was his first time working. His tasks were not only to solve cases, the construction of the imperial capital was also within his authority, just like it was with Tanzhou, except that the country's political center happened to be in Jinling.

In the past few days, he has figured out what to do. First, he will do a good job in construction. The imperial capital, the area around the imperial city and the outside of Jinling seem to be two different worlds. He has to build roads first. As for money, he will ask the Ministry of Revenue for it and then squeeze the government office. Anyway, after he comes, many people in the Jinling government office will have to be cleared out.

"The yamen runners, come in twos and threes, remember the people here, and the future people, don't need to come again in the future." Shen Qingzhou's first sentence surprised everyone. Everyone knew that Lord Shen acted uprightly, but this was the imperial capital, not Tanzhou, and many people just held positions, not greeted, oh, it seemed that the gifts didn't even come in.

Many people thought that Shen Qingzhou would keep a low profile after arriving in the imperial capital, but who could have thought that he would be so tough.

"this."

"Chief clerk, is there anything wrong?" Shen Qingzhou's words left the chief clerk speechless. It was you who did it anyway.

"I obey your orders." The chief clerk bowed.

"Plundering land and hoarding slaves, what does Duke Qing want to do?" Inside the yamen, many onlookers felt that they had come to the wrong place.

"The person who is crying out for justice in Xuan Binzhou."

"mighty."

"I am originally from Binzhou City..." An old couple began to list the crimes of Duke Qing's relatives in the government office. Many people were shocked. Although it was not Duke Qing who did it himself, they all knew that if it were not for Duke Qing, how could others dare to do these things without his backing.

"You are doing this outrageously. This government will send someone to Binzhou right now. You can stay in the imperial capital for a while and stay at the government office temporarily."

In fact, someone had already started collecting evidence, but Shen Qingzhou had to do it openly and not make it seem like he was doing it in secret.

"Zhuo Qingyao." Shen Qingzhou said again. Zhuo Qingyao escorted the old couple to the imperial capital, so naturally he was also at the government office.

"Lord Shen." Zhuo Qingyao was a little surprised. Did he still have something to do? He just came here as supporting evidence.

"You were born into a wealthy family, but you also have a sense of justice. You stand up for what is right and uphold integrity. You deserve to be rewarded for doing so," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Sir Shen, this is what I should do, so I dare not ask for a reward. I have heard of your poetry and wonder if I can ask for a piece of your calligraphy." Zhuo Qingyao said quickly.

"Bamboo and Rock", "Going to the Frontier", "Joining the Army" and "Capturing the King" are all popular throughout the world, and that's how Shen Qingzhou became famous for his talent.

"This is feasible, but you know that our calligraphy is not a talisman." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Of course." Zhuo Qingyao simply wanted to ask for a word and establish a good relationship.

The next step was to judge some other cases. Zhengqige was very observant and did his job smoothly, which also allowed many people to know his style for the first time.

Some criminals, on the other hand, were not afraid at all, and some even made outrageous remarks, but Shen Qingzhou did not take it to heart. He thought that he did not dare to offend others like that, right?

After returning to the mansion, as arranged by his superiors, he wrote a couple of words, with four big characters "act bravely to do what is right". And when writing the word "brave", he showed off his skills by writing "Swordsman" in small characters.
