Chapter 249: The Deceived Princess Nihuang

The most important point is that she doesn’t know whether Shen Zheng has anything to do with this matter. Although she is in the Marquis’ Mansion, she is also very concerned about major events.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu are vying to win over Shen Zheng. What if he is the one chosen by the Lovers' Circle in order to win him over?

On the contrary, Mei Changsu does not have this concern. He definitely cannot be the candidate for the Lover's Wrap. The one who uses this thing must be one of the ten candidates. No one else can do it.

Moreover, Mei Changsu did not side with either the Crown Prince or Prince Yu, and seemed to be helpful to Princess Nihuang, so it was normal who would be the candidate.

Moreover, on the second day, she was very glad that this time, of the ten candidates for the duel, except for Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Princess Nihuang’s relationship, and the envoy from Beiyan, the rest of the candidates were not invited.

Of course, although this matter has not been publicized, it has attracted the attention of the whole city and many people have already opened their hands.

"Sanyang, place your bet on Mei Changsu to win. Then, within two months, I will enforce the law and ensure that there will be no more gambling houses in Jinling City." After Shen Qingzhou knew about this, of course he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, he also started his own plan. In Tanzhou, although there were still gambling houses and brothels, basically, the bosses themselves were bored and had no time to spare.

Brothels, gambling houses and prostitutes are not illegal. This is a feudal society. However, people certainly would not allow you to sell your children or force women into prostitution because of gambling.

In this situation, there are too many ways to create such an unreasonable area. Of course, those who can do this have connections, but it is useless. Shen Qingzhou will not tell you this at all.

"Yes, sir." Shen Sanyang bowed and said, and he didn't even need to ask where the winning money would be put. It would go directly into the Jinling government city construction fund.

"Sir, Tanzhou has delivered the Law Stele, and there is also news from Duke Qing. Duke Qing has quietly entered Jinling City." Shen Sanyang reported.

"Starting tomorrow, apart from the government office, this mansion will no longer receive outside guests except for court sessions. As for Duke Qing, don't worry about him for now. Let's talk about him after Third Son and the others come back." Shen Qingzhou said.

Duke Qing must do it, but he must have evidence. When his people return from Langzhou, Duke Qing will be executed.

The people he sent out were all direct descendants of Shenjia Village. Although they might not hold high official positions, they had extremely high status in the Shen family business and could mobilize a lot of resources.

Either his nephew, or the old clan leader's relative, or even the clan leader's grandson, he put them by his side and told them to listen to his brother.

Of course, even if you have status, you cannot bully the weak. This is something Shen Qingzhou cannot tolerate.

……

Outside the government office, a group of people were looking at the stone tablets, curious about what they were. When the bailiffs finished placing them, everyone was a little confused about what they meant, as not many people could read.

However, someone soon explained that these were the laws of Daliang, all of which were engraved on these eighteen stone tablets.

Shen Qingzhou had someone carve this stone tablet in Sanyang County, and then brought it to Dongyang Prefecture and Tanzhou. It followed him all the way. He wanted to prove his determination and also to let everyone know about the law. He wanted to popularize it.

Although it is a feudal society, the laws are on the side of good people. Although he has the power to destroy them, these are his weapons. As long as he wants, who can destroy the laws he believes in?

Inside the palace, Mei Changsu also warned Princess Nihuang to be careful with what she ate and drank if she entered the palace.

There are already quite a few fully armed guards in the hall. This is a martial arts competition. What if His Majesty gets hurt?

The three boys showed up and looked energetic, but Princess Nihuang was also a master and had seen their sword formation, so she was definitely no match for Baili Qi. When she asked Mei Changsu, he just shook his head and said nothing.

When they started fighting, everyone was shocked. It was too fast. The swordsmanship of these three children was very fast. If it was just that, it would be fine, but it was fine at the beginning. After less than ten moves, Bailiqi was actually at a disadvantage. Bailiqi was angry, but he was also timid in the fight. Many people could see what he was guarding against. Some people began to think divergently, maybe it was Bailiqi's weakness, Mei Changsu also saw it.

Only Meng Zhi could see that something was wrong, as well as Princess Nihuang, who was also in the top ten of the Langya Master List. As for the others, their vision was still quite lacking. Baili Qi himself was a master, and no one would have thought that he would gamble with his own fame. Therefore, they really thought that the sword formation had many uses.

Only Mei Changsu was calm and collected, winning the nods of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who both attributed this to his contribution.

After dozens of moves, the three men formed a T-shape. Baili Qi couldn't block with his hands and was surrounded by several people. The speed was so fast that even Princess Nihuang was a little surprised. In just five days, these three people who had never known martial arts before also got started, and their progress was quite fast.

Fei Liu was born a secret ninja. Even at such a young age, he was already one of the top five masters in the world, so naturally he had unique methods.

As a sword hit Bailiqi's back, Bailiqi staggered and finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. He was very similar to the last time, but the difference was that he was pretending this time.

Emperor Liang smiled like a flower. Although he was no longer worried about Princess Nihuang marrying into Northern Yan, it was still possible for him to use a few children to suppress Northern Yan's arrogance.

As for Shen Zheng, he already knew that Princess Nihuang had a bad impression of Shen Zheng. This was the best thing. Otherwise, the combination of one having money and the other having soldiers would keep him awake.

The other envoys also laughed. Princess Nihuang was too powerful. Several countries sent envoys to propose marriage to her. Baili Qi had originally been the most confident of being defeated, but was killed by Shen Qingzhou. Now he was defeated by a few kids and had lost all his face.

Next, Princess Nihuang and Mei Changsu deliberately snatched the three children, otherwise, it would be difficult to take them out. This time, while they were having fun, Emperor Liang didn't know the true identities of these people, so he let them go.

"With just this sword formation, there is no way we can defeat Baili Qi. His loss was so strange, could you please explain it to me, sir?" After leaving the palace, Princess Nihuang asked about her doubts.

"It's very simple to explain. In fact, it can be just one sentence. Baili Qi is from the Jiangzuo League."

"People from the Jiangzuo League?" Princess Nihuang was surprised.

"Su came to the capital to seek work, so naturally he had to make some preparations. He placed Baili Qi there in advance because he was afraid that some unexpected masters would appear on the stage. If the princess doesn't like something, he can be sent to solve it, which can also be a favor to the princess." Mei Changsu said.

"But, I still failed. I didn't expect that Lord Shen Zheng would rise so fast. This was really beyond my expectations." Mei Changsu was a little frustrated. He knew too little about Shen Qingzhou and originally thought that Baili Qi could do it.

"I have to thank Mr. Su for this matter, okay." Nihuang was a little touched. She had an inexplicable trust in Mei Changsu. Just as she was about to continue speaking, the Queen invited her to Zhengyang Palace.

Mei Changsu misunderstood and thought that it was the Queen who harmed Princess Nihuang. He only knew that someone was using a lover but didn't know who it was. Now that it was the Queen who invited her, she must be the Queen.

He still believed that Nihuang could handle this kind of thing. As long as she was prepared, the masters of the Langya List should not be underestimated.

However, after leaving the palace, he met Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui, and then learned that Liao Tingjie and Yan Yujin had made an appointment to play polo. His heart ached, and he knew that he had miscalculated.

Meng Zhi also came to find him, and he quickly made arrangements to let Mu Qing ambush outside Concubine Yue's palace, and informed the Queen, who would not miss any opportunity to suppress Concubine Yue.

At a certain moment, Shen Qingzhou flashed in his mind. Should he notify him? Forget it. The arrangements have been enough. He just hopes that Nihuang will not be fooled.

At this moment, Princess Nihuang felt relieved when she saw Concubine Yue drink a sip of water. She was really fooled. She thought that there should be no problem after passing Zhengyang Palace. The Queen invited her into the palace, which could only be because the Queen wanted to use medicine.

In Concubine Yue's palace, while chatting with Nihuang about past events in Yunnan, she received a report from a palace maid that the Crown Prince and Sima Lei had returned.

Hearing this, Nihuang felt something was wrong and prepared to say goodbye and go home, but as soon as she stood up, she felt a little dizzy.
