Mu Yun'an felt that the man looked familiar. She looked at it carefully and asked in surprise, "Isn't that Shen Zhixu?"
It's just that Mu Yun'an has never seen him wearing official robes, so he almost didn't recognize him, but that face was indeed Shen Zhixu's.
The people around were still kneeling, but there were a few carriages parked near Mu Yun'an that stood out.
Shen Zhixu looked over here and happened to see Qingying driving the car.
He was stunned for a moment, then got off the execution platform and walked over quickly: "Prince, Princess, are you back?"
Shen Zhixu was pleasantly surprised. There was no news about their visit, which was really worrying. Now that he saw Xiao Chengyi and others coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Yun'an looked at Shen Zhixu and joked with a smile: "How many months have we not seen you? Mr. Shen has been promoted? Not to mention that I almost didn't recognize you when you first wore this official robe."
Shen Zhixu was a little embarrassed. He explained: "Your Majesty received the letter from the prince and knew that Yunzhou Magistrate Meng Tonghui had a problem, so he sent a subordinate to be the supervisory censor to investigate clearly."
Mu Yun'an nodded: "I see, I thought His Majesty sent you to Yunzhou to be the prefect."
Shen Zhixu said shamelessly: "I'm just afraid that the regent won't let him go."
Xiao Chengyi snorted: "You are narcissistic."
While he was talking, someone came over. He was also wearing an official robe, but his rank was obviously not as high as Shen Zhixu's.
He came over and asked: "Master Shen, who are these?"
Shen Zhixu introduced him: "It's the regent and the princess who were sent as envoy to Mobei and they have returned."
When the man heard the regent and the princess, he hurriedly knelt on the ground to greet them: "Your Majesty Liu Zhengchun, please see the prince and the princess."
Xiao Chengyi looked at this man named Liu. He was about thirty years old and looked upright.
Even when he saw him, he remained calm and behaved in a measured manner. He asked: "Are you the magistrate of Qixian County?"
Liu Zhengchun was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Xiao Chengyi to know him. He nodded and said, "Yes, he was the county magistrate in Qixian County before he was promoted to official position.
After Meng Tonghui's accident, His Majesty asked his subordinate to take over the post of Yunzhou Magistrate."
Xiao Chengyi nodded and said: "Master Liu has managed Qixian County very well. If Yunzhou City is handed over to you, I will feel relieved."
Liu Zhengchun felt a little excited when he heard this. He thought that he had joined the officialdom at the age of eighteen and had been the county magistrate of Qixian County for ten years. He had never been promoted because he disdained the flattery of the officialdom.
I thought that this would be the end of my life, but who would have thought that His Majesty would promote him with a decree.
And the regent actually knew that he was such a little-known official.
The depression he had felt for so many years disappeared instantly when he heard Xiao Chengyi's words.
Liu Zhengchun said: "I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations."
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "Get up."
Liu Zhengchun stood up and heard Xiao Chengyi ask: "Have all the charges against Meng Tonghui been found out?"
Liu Zhengchun replied: "We have found out clearly that when Meng Tonghui was the governor of Yunzhou, he accepted countless bribes, oppressed the people, and settled cases indiscriminately.
There are countless unjust cases in his hands. After Mr. Shen and I convicted him, we have been investigating the unjust cases in his hands to bring to justice the real culprits who are at large."
Mentioning this, Shen Zhixu became very angry: "You don't know something, this man named Meng is simply extremely bad.
When we collected evidence of his crime, there were hundreds of people suing him, so by killing him like this, I felt like we were giving him an advantage."
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Yuan Hao is really stupid and incompetent."
Such a moth has been harming the people for decades and has not been discovered. This is not due to the king's incompetence.
He will definitely not be trapped within the palace walls in the future and only listen to the prosperous kingdoms written by those officials.
