In the days that followed, Li Shen wandered around the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion, nominally waiting for the delivery of money.
Li Shen's character must buy some souvenirs wherever he goes. This was his travel habit in his previous life.
I sleep when I get on the bus, pee when I get off the bus, take pictures when I get to a scenic spot, and don’t know anything when I come back.
Li Shen was wandering around, but he made Dang Renhong anxious.
"Captain, the arrangements have been made."
"Well. Don't let them out yet. We will take care of them after King Ji leaves."
Dang Renhong said with a gloomy expression.
Today, a family wanted to stop Li Shen from suing. Fortunately, Dang Renhong arranged for people to guard the outside and arrested the person who was about to sue.
His men originally wanted to kill people and silence them, but at this juncture, one more thing was better than one less thing, so Dang Renhong ordered people to guard the family.
After Li Shen leaves, he is not allowed to come forward, and his men can deal with the family.
"Captain, I always feel something is wrong. Prince Ji has been wandering around the city for two days. Is he looking for something?"
Dang Renhong's staff asked.
"What are you looking for? Looking for evidence of my crime. Do you think he can find evidence of my crime just by walking on the street every day?"
Dang Renhong said disapprovingly.
"Captain, I think it's better to test it out. Let's see what does His Highness Prince Ji mean?
If he really passed by here and we got in touch with him again,
The governor will definitely become rich and powerful in the future, but if he comes for us, the governor will have to make plans early. "
Dang Renhong thought about what his staff said, and there was indeed some truth to it.
If Li Shen could be dragged into the water, he would be relieved.
Thinking of this, Dang Renhong ordered his servants.
"Come here, go get the tea set I made last month."
The servant brought over a long box. Dang Renhong opened it and took a look. His eyes were full of reluctance, but he finally closed the lid.
"Let's go and meet King Ji for a while. Let's see if he is a human or a ghost."
Li Shen was currently discussing matters with Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui in the big tent.
"Your Majesty, the visiting sharp knives are starting to come back. I got some information and found a few victims."
Xue Renguihui reports.
"Oh, what did you say?" Li Shen asked.
"Dang Renhong has two cronies, one named Ma Wei and the other named Zhang Hu. With the help of Dang Renhong's power, these two men do all kinds of evil.
He helped Dang Renhong make money, bullied men and dominated women, secretly increased taxes, and cleverly created a name for himself.
Some people say that there were at least dozens of civilians forced to death by these two men.
Moreover, both of them were greedy for money and lustful, and caused harm to many young wives in common people's families who had not yet left the government. Ma Wei was so kind to married women that he forced a married woman in a village under his jurisdiction to
It is said that Ma Wei harmed no less than 500 women from good families. He also collected the private body hair of these women and made a writing brush named Gong Yin Hao.
Zhang Hu was in a similar situation. He harmed no less than a hundred women from a good family and his family had thousands of acres of fertile land.
They helped to collect Dang Renhong's money. "
After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Wang Xuance was surprised, and Li Shen was even more so, frowning.
These two people are so arrogant, do they really think they are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away?
"Rengui, continue to let Sharp Blade investigate and visit, it's not just the two of them, there must be others.
This time we will give the Guangdong Governor's Mansion a bright future. "
"Reporting to your lord, the Commander-in-Chief of Dang Renhong would like to see you."
Just when Li Shen was making bold words, the guards outside reported.
Li Shen and the other two looked at each other, not knowing what Dang Renhong was doing at this time.
"Invite the party commander to come in." Li Shen ordered.
After a while, Dang Renhong walked into the big tent.
"Your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
"Oh, the Party Governor is too polite. We are partners, so don't be so polite in the future." Li Shen said with a smile on his face.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Dang Renhong said.
"Come, sit down and drink tea." Li Shen gave up his seat to Dang Renhong and poured a cup of tea for Dang Renhong himself.
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji." Dang Renhong sat down.
"I wonder why the party commander is here today?" Li Shen asked curiously.
After hearing this, Dang Renhong immediately smiled, turned around, took the box from his staff and put it on the table.
"Your Highness, please take a look." He said and opened the box.
There was a set of tea sets neatly placed inside, all blood red without any impurities.
"Soapstone?" Li Shen guessed doubtfully, but he didn't show much interest.
He also has chicken blood stones in his house, and they are all top quality.
What Li Shen is curious about is that Dang Renhong made the soapstone into a tea set. What is the use of it?
Soapstone is not resistant to high temperatures and will affect the color and transparency of the stone if used for a long time.
Otherwise, Li Shen would have made a set long ago. He even used jade from Tubo, but it was easy to deform after high temperatures.
So Li Shen lost interest when he saw it was chicken blood stone.
"No, Your Majesty, this is not chicken blood stone, this is my jade produced in Lingnan.
We call it chicken blood jade, produced in Lingui County, Lingnan.
This jade can withstand high temperatures and does not deform, making it the perfect choice for making tea sets.
However, chicken blood jade is also a rare thing in the local area, so it is worth a lot of money. It took Xiaguan several years to put together this set.
It took three months to make it, and I haven't used it yet.
I brought it to King Ji today..."
Dang Renhong explained to Li Shen with a smile.
"Chicken blood jade?" Li Shen was surprised. Chicken blood jade is a good thing. but.....
"Director of the Party, although I am young, I have been taught by His Majesty since I was a child. It is better to take your chicken blood jade back. I will not accept it.
I have been honest throughout my life and have never taken ill-gotten gains. I cannot let down His Majesty's teachings. "
Li Shen waved his skills, looking like a gentleman.
Dang Renhong was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that the way he gave gifts was wrong?
He looked at Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui. Could it be because these two people were there?
But that's wrong, shouldn't these two be King Ji's confidants?
"Dang Commander, what do you want me to do for you? But I am a member of the royal family. How can I, Li Tang, break the rules I have set for you?
This king has always enforced the law impartially. You should also know that I am an envoy of the Tenth Path. How can I know the law and break it?
Today you bribed me, and I will forgive you because you are an old minister.
But there won’t be a next time. Got it? "Li Shen said seriously.
Li Shen's words left Dang Renhong speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.
He came today just to see Li Shen's attitude. If Li Shen accepts it, it means that Li Shen is not a gentleman.
Even if he commits a crime in the future and he finds out about it, he can still bribe him with money or use it to blackmail him.
But he didn't expect that Li Shen would be so decisive. Isn't it said that King Ji was the greediest?
