Chapter 262 Unexpected Disaster
"When golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless things in the world. A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. Our Lord Shen is really affectionate." Qin Prajna received today's news and knew about the confrontation between Lou Zhijing and Shen Qingzhou. As a woman, it was inevitable for her to envy Nihuang.
Qin Banruo suddenly had a desire to destroy. The women of the Hua tribe were known to the world as beauties. It would be very interesting if Shen Qingzhou's deep affection became a joke.
She was still a little dissatisfied. She was pretty, and she had met Shen Qingzhou before. He had never shown such care to her. In a feudal society, girls would also be jealous.
"The beauty is like jade and the sword is like a rainbow. I never thought that the sword energy came from him. This makes sense." Meng Zhi was also thinking. He and Nihuang fought and Nihuang was defeated after a hundred moves. He knew that the other party's internal strength characteristics had nothing to do with the color red.
……
"Mu Qing, come out." In Prince Mu's mansion, Nihuang was looking for Mu Qing everywhere. When Mu Qing heard the news, he had already run away.
When Lou Zhijing said the calligraphy "Beauty is like jade, sword is like rainbow", which was supposed to be known only to himself and his sister, Mu Qing knew that he was exposed.
He just said a few more words in the brothel, and who could have thought that the old fox had guessed what he said. He was drunk at the time, otherwise he would not have said it.
Mu Nihuang was very angry and ashamed. She had never expected that something that had already happened in the past would bring such trouble to Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Qingzhou helped him, but now, because of Mu Qing's message, Shen Qingzhou's thoughts were revealed, how embarrassed he would be.
Feng Qiuhuang, she herself didn't realize it until Lou Zhijing told her about it after this incident. To be honest, she was really embarrassed.
Perhaps there are no people like Shen Qingzhou in this era. Some of Shen Qingzhou's behaviors seem quite bold to Nihuang. She really feels that Shen Qingzhou is what she wants, and she is quite moved. However, being moved cannot be regarded as love. She can only blame it on the fact that they met too late. The two of them have met no more than five times, plus the existence of Lin Shu.
She now really feels sorry for Shen Qingzhou for making him bear such a reputation.
This incident also began to spread in Jinling City, causing many young ladies to become interested in Shen Qingzhou. He was a true talent, and the poems he could recite were classics.
I also envy Nihuang for having such a passionate pursuer, especially the brothel girl. Although the business has not yet opened, Shen Qingzhou's new poems have already been memorized. This is the treatment of talented people, and they can all compose music for dances.
Many women are envious. If they could get Shen Qingzhou to write a poem for them, they would become famous all over the world.
"Brother Shen." Shen Qingzhou was patrolling outside the city when he heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. Princess Nihuang was dressed in plain white with a lightly decorated headdress, simple and elegant.
"Princess, are you here to look for me?" The people around were very discerning and scattered aside.
"Brother Shen, this time, you came here specifically to apologize for me. Your seven words really helped me solve the current problem without delaying it. It's just that I was ignorant and leaked it in that fireworks place. I have already punished him severely and he can't leave the house for a short time."
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. I have no intention of hiding anything."
"If you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished. Nihuang also has to thank Brother Shen. The blame for the discussion in the capital this time is my fault." Princess Nihuang is different from other girls. She will not avoid trouble. This is also the style of people in the army.
"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. What Lou Zhijing said was all out of his mind. Princess, you don't need to take it to heart." What is the Feng Qiu Huang? Shen Qingzhou already knew where his problem was, but since it had already happened, he didn't care.
"That's good. No matter what, I, Mu Nihuang, owe you a lot." A life-saving grace, a helping hand.
"During this period, I often hear about this thing called cement. Is this the finished product?" The place that Shen Qingzhou checked was naturally the completed place where the camouflage had been removed. Nihuang also wanted to change the subject.
"Strictly speaking, this is called asphalt. As for cement, those are also used. They are also the most basic and important part of my subsequent construction plan." Shen Qingzhou did not hide it.
He didn't do this for nothing. He did make cement first and built roads with it, but later he found coal and was able to make asphalt.
"This." Mu Nihuang didn't care at first, but when she was walking seriously on this road called cement road, she noticed the difference.
"Yes, it is much simpler than the current road construction method, and the road will be extremely smooth, and the carriages can travel on it as if on flat ground.
Just think about it, if the whole world uses such roads in the future, it would be at least three times faster than if this road was built to the southern border.
By then, it will be much more convenient for people to do business, transport goods, and even travel abroad." Shen Qingzhou said, this is still an understatement, and he will not take out the thing called rubber.
That’s right, he also has a killer weapon, rubber. Nowadays, there are no tires on the outside of the carriage wheels. Ye Qingmei has indeed made a lot of things.
"It's really a very good thing." Nihuang murmured. She was obviously thinking in the wrong way. Shen Qingzhou was still not giving up on her and wanted to build this road to the southern border. However, she was not a little girl after all, and she immediately realized that she was thinking in the wrong way.
Shen Qingzhou at this moment was a look he had never seen before. After all, he was able to speak to the whole world, and the confidence contained in his tone shocked even Nihuang.
Nihuang left. After all, she only came to apologize and there was no need to stay.
In the palace at this moment.
"Interesting, this Shen Zheng is really interesting, his ability to solve cases is unparalleled. He is the Duke of Qing, but he also solved the case of the corpse hidden in the Jinglan Garden in Lou Zhi, in an orderly manner from receiving the case to closing it within just five days, without any mistakes. It's rare." Emperor Liang said with a smile. As for Eunuch Qilin, he said nothing. He was very sensible.
Emperor Liang must be happy, of course. Shen Zheng can only rely on himself in the future. He has offended the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, which is a done deal.
If he wasn't too young, he really wanted to promote Shen Qingzhou to the position of Minister of Revenue. However, thinking of this, he felt a bit of a headache because both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu wanted their own people to take the position.
Another half a month passed, and the road from the capital to the counties outside the capital had been paved. Now it had to be dried thoroughly before it could be put into use.
The road repair was almost finished, but people did not rest. Instead, there were more projects. The first was the department store planned by Shen Qingzhou. As for the residential buildings, they still had to be built in the city. Everyone was very conservative about the residential area.
He had also ordered the Shen family business to buy the land deeds of some ordinary residential areas in the city. The sellers were very happy and received a large amount of silver, which was far higher than the original value, at least ten times.
Demolition and foundation laying have already begun, and everything is proceeding in an orderly and synchronous manner. Even people in the entire city have noticed that Jinling City has changed.
However, this change has not yet reached the ears of the emperor. He is in the imperial city, and most of the dignitaries live in the inner city. They don't care much about the changes of the country bumpkins. Everyone is looking at the world.
They just know that Shen Qingzhou has done a lot, but they don’t know the specific changes. Some things can only be changed after they are done.
Now, according to Shen Qingzhou's plan, by the end of the year, he wants to let a group of people move into new houses, and the department store will also open. This is the template, and with these, the real estate business can start.
However, there are still smart people, such as Princess Nihuang and Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu once went to a civilian area and saw the thing called cement. Then he looked at the foundation which was much deeper than the normal foundation and had a terrible guess.
And the foundation was mixed with some iron. Since there was coal, Ye Qingmei had practiced the traditional method of steelmaking, so he could just use it. Anyway, he didn't build skyscrapers. Most of them were six stories high, so cement was enough. If it was too high, it would be unstable and too tiring for people to walk up. However, these things had nothing to do with him. He could see that Shen Qingzhou built this for ordinary people.
He had been paying attention to it, but the more he paid attention, the silenter he became. When the second floor was completed, he still didn't care much. With the technology of that era, a second floor was also possible, although most people couldn't afford it.
But when he started to walk on the third floor, he couldn't sit still anymore. This wouldn't be a disregard for human life, right? This was a place where people could live.
However, according to the spy's report, what he could think of was also thought of by some old craftsmen. They had all tested it and found that the house built with cement and iron was much stronger than the original house.
This cement has a strange effect, and there is also something called bricks. Shen Qingzhou took out too many things, and no one else could put them together except him.
This is still a residential area. There are more than ten buildings built. Most of them can accommodate all the original villagers. The rest will naturally be sold.
Outside the city, the department store that was being built as a landmark was being supervised personally by Shen Qingzhou at a very fast pace.
Moreover, he personally invested one hundred thousand righteousness on a huge rock at the foundation, just for a poem, his "Bamboo and Rock".
According to the general attack method, this building itself is enough to bear it. If it is more serious, "Bamboo and Stone" can passively defend.
According to his estimation, and the speed at which the positive energy dissipates, the building can be preserved for two hundred years. By that time, it would have been replaced with a new one.
He also installed the same on the other six-story residential buildings, but he didn’t need to put in so much talent.
He was busy with construction during this period and hardly took care of anything else except court meetings, until two months later, when he took on a case.
After the Lanyuan corpse case ended, he earned 150,000 talents, plus the accumulation of this period of time.
【Rank: Jinshi (513256/1000000)】
His talent has increased greatly. This kind of talent that can influence the world and he is also a character in the plot has provided too much talent. However, he is still not as good as the Duke of Qing. The other party has caused trouble in Binzhou. After all, the Minister of Revenue is not that excessive.
His talent finally exceeded 500,000, but it was probably due to a mistake. The self he summoned was only at the sixth level, not the peak. In fact, his original body was not divided into such fine pieces. It was his understanding of himself that divided it into such fine pieces.
When summoning other people, the stronger they are, the lower the level of their combat power will be, but they can all defeat the strong with the weak. As for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he estimated that when he reached the peak of Jinshi, he would be able to summon ordinary Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in their prime, which is the eighth level.
……
"Sir, the son of Marquis Wenyuan was killed in public by He Wenxin, the son of the Minister of Personnel, in Yangliuxin." Shen Sanyang said.
"So, is the evidence conclusive?" Shen Qingzhou asked.
"Ahem, someone from the Zhang family business came to report. They were entertaining the Sixth Prince and saw it with their own eyes. This is the case file of the incident." Shen Sanyang said, feeling a little embarrassed. The people from the Zhang family business were old acquaintances of his. They were originally local bosses in Sanyang County.
Shen Qingzhou understood that this was the person assigned by him to contact Xiao Jingli. He and Xiao Jingli had never met before, and there was no need to meet. He would not support Prince Jing like Mei Changsu did. His goal was that as long as it came to that point, Xiao Jingli would just wait to become the crown prince or ascend the throne, and be an emperor without real power. When it came to that point, it would be beyond his control. Besides, he was idle only because he knew there was no hope.
"Then there's nothing to say. Just surround He's house. If he refuses to come out, then we can just shout out He Wenxin's crimes. Oh, and remember to keep a close watch on him. Be careful that he might get cornered and end up exchanging prisoners."
"Yes." Shen Sanyang said.
"This matter will be handled in this way. I will be taken to the government office for custody. If anyone else visits me, they will tell me that I am ill and cannot see anyone.
By the way, Yang Liuxin is a brothel owner, right? There must be something else going on here. Let’s check out the key person who caused the conflict between the two people. If he’s a poor guy, just give him a warning. If he’s a bad person, get to the bottom of this case.
A murder happened in a brothel. All brothels in the city are ordered to close for rectification. Also, gambling houses, take this opportunity to check if there are any perpetrators. Also, I saw the file. Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang also went to Yangliuxin. You should check this matter first. Miaoyinfang will have to pay the fine in full and reopen in three months. "Shen Qingzhou explained everything one by one. He couldn't do everything by himself.
He thought of film and television. This death was related to Gong Yu. Otherwise, jealousy was normal, but death was abnormal.
"Yes." Shen Sanyang knew that Zheng Ge'er must have discovered something he didn't know, so he just had to obey.
"Uncle Yang, how is it?" Just after leaving the court, Shen Sanyang saw several younger generations, whom he had watched grow up.
"Call the captain of police, you, you, the rest of you, follow the old rules, check all the brothels and gambling houses in the city."
At this moment, Yang Liuxin had a murder case, and the people who suffered the most were not only the family members of the person involved, but also the owners of various brothels and gambling houses.
Although Shen Qingzhou has only been here for more than half a year, he has closed down this brothel and gambling house more than once or twice, and each time it took half a month at most and a week at least. It was really uncomfortable. Many people prayed that this time it should have nothing to do with them.
"Old Zhang."
"Master Shen, you are here, the best."
"Stop, Lao Zhang, you know we don't usually deal with each other, and we don't need bribes. I don't care about your little stuff, you know."
"I understand. This damn He Wenxin."
"I'll just pretend I didn't hear it. Remember to pay."
All the major gambling houses and brothels suffered unexpected disasters.
Three days later.
[Song of Righteousness: The host solves He Wenxin's murder, and the Shangshu privately replaces the death row prisoner. The Shangshu is demoted, and gains talent x 100000]
Prince Yu still made a stupid move, and Minister He loved his son dearly, but he was caught on the spot by Xie Yu and Earl Wenyuan and was deposed.
Shen Qingzhou didn't need to worry about this matter. Wen Yuanbo directly dragged the father and son to the palace to file a complaint. The matter fell in front of Emperor Liang. He had no intention of protecting it, nor would he protect it. He had to take responsibility for what he had done.
