Wang Zhengli felt relieved when he heard Li Shen say to act according to the law, but he was also worried that Prince Ji would do something to take Wang Wanqing's life.

That's why I asked.

"Don't worry about this. I will enforce the law impartially and will never abuse my power for personal gain or impose lynching.

Someone go and call the Wannian County Magistrate over here."

Li Shen gave an order and a servant immediately ran out.

“Wang Zhengli, we will discuss the punishment later.

Since you say you are sincere, then tell me your sincerity."

Li Shen asked while drinking tea.

Wang Zhengli quickly replied:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, my Wang family is willing to make compensation."

"Oh? Then tell me, how much compensation are you prepared to pay?"

Li Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Zhengli.

"Well...my father knows that Wanqing was the one who hit someone first, so he is willing to pay 10,000 strings of cash as compensation, hoping to be forgiven by His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Wang Zhengli looked at Li Shen's glowing eyes and instantly felt his body go cold.

He had heard of Ji Wang's nickname of evil ghost, and no amount of money could feed him.

Sure enough, when Li Shen heard the ten thousand strings of cash, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and his face was full of disdain.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be shocked, because this is ten thousand strings of coins, which is ten million coins.

It is definitely a huge sum of money.

But for Li Shen, it was nothing special.

Seeing that Prince Ji didn't say anything, Wang Zhengli knew that there must be something missing, so he continued to ask tentatively.

"Since the prince is not satisfied, then... I will double the amount, how about 20,000 strings of cash?"

20,000 strings of cash? Wang Wanqing, who was standing by, was extremely shocked. If she beat him up and gave him 20,000 strings of cash,

She even wanted to be beaten up, no, she was indeed beaten up.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, I was also beaten by the guards of Prince Ji’s mansion. I hope Your Highness Prince Ji can calm down.

It is all my fault that I have offended His Royal Highness Prince Ji due to my lack of vision. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Wang Wanqing fell to her knees and begged.

Even she knew that 20,000 strings of cash was already a huge fortune.

The Wang family is weak now, and 20,000 strings of cash is not a small amount for them. As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she should bear the responsibility for the family at this time.

Li Shen narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that this domineering daughter of the Wang family actually had such courage and responsibility.

This made him look at him with more respect.

However, Li Shen still said to Wang Wanqing contemptuously:

“Daughter of the Wang family, you should be thankful that you are a woman. I cannot attack you directly, otherwise it will damage the reputation of my royal family.

Otherwise, do you think you will stand here peacefully?

You are arrogant and domineering, relying on the power of the Wang family to bully others and have no regard for the law.

You have to know that this is the Tang Dynasty, the dynasty of my Li family, not the previous dynasty.

Those you usually oppress are the people of my Li family.

Someone will punish you according to the law for your problem later, this time is just to teach you a lesson, this is not the time to do whatever you want in the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

"Yes, yes, yes, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is right, he should be punished, the Tang Dynasty has its own laws.

You should take this as a warning in the future."

The uncle and nephew quickly agreed.

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Shen nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, it's good for you two to know. Don't say that you are just a legitimate daughter of the Langya Wang family. In this Chang'an City,

Even the eldest son of a Duke's mansion has to behave himself.

Wang Zhengli, I heard that you are good friends with my uncle, Wei Sili. You can ask him.

In the families of princes and nobles, big and small, in Chang'an City, there is always a family with two playboys.

But look at them, which one would use oppression of ordinary people to show off his status?

If you want to show off your nobility, you should oppress those noble children of the same status. That will show that you are superior.

Look at me, the king. When have I ever oppressed innocent people?

This king has always hated evil and specifically targeted those evil princes and nobles."

Li Shen said this with a look of pride on his face. He felt that he was the light, sent by God to fight against evil forces.

Although he was also bullying others by taking advantage of his power, and was relying on his father's power, he was not ashamed of it at all, but proud of it instead.

His father is the emperor.

“Your Highness Prince Ji punishes evil and promotes good, hates evil as an enemy, and has always been a role model for the younger generation in Chang’an City, and a role model for our younger generation.

We are always imitating His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Wang Zhengli flattered the emperor without blushing or beating his heart, and even Wang Wanqing, who was standing beside him, felt embarrassed.

Does my third uncle have such no bottom line?

Wang Zhengli had been in Chang'an for many years, so of course he knew about Prince Ji's affairs, and he knew more than most people.

Because he was familiar with several of the playboys in Prince Ji's party, and was also good friends with Prince Ji's uncle, Wesley.

In their spare time, when they were drinking and chatting happily, they would often mention King Ji.

Because of their relationship with King Ji, it was something they boasted about after drinking.

Especially those playboys, who had originally followed Prince Ji and have now become officials, and have a bright future ahead of them.

When it comes to Prince Ji, they all have a kind of admiration for him and praise Li Shen to the sky.

He is like Zhuge Liang of our time, able to predict the future and know what will happen five hundred years in the past and five hundred years in the future. He is well-versed in both ancient and modern times, and no one can match him.

They also talked about the ideas that King Ji had instilled in them, that if you want to bully someone, you should bully people at the same level as you.

Bullying ordinary people is not a great skill, and it also lowers your own status.

Since that day, the public security in Chang'an City has improved and the crime rate has dropped by 800 percent.

This group of playboys transformed themselves into messengers of justice, running around in the 108 districts of Chang'an City, specifically picking on the playboys, bullies, and hooligans.

Return peace and prosperity to Chang'an

This also made Wang Zhengli quite fascinated.

What kind of person could manage to keep more than a hundred playboys in Chang'an City in line with his will?

Today I saw that it was indeed different.

"Your Highness, the Wannian County Magistrate has arrived. He is here with Chief Clerk Wang and Shopkeeper Wang to see you."

Wei Fugui is reporting from outside.

"Oh, they've arrived just in time, let them come in together."

Li Shen originally wanted to look for the two of them, but he didn't expect them to come now.

After a while, the three of them came to the front hall and saluted Li Shen together.

"See His Highness Prince Ji."

"Well, no gifts."

Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu consciously came to stand behind Li Shen. Wannian County Magistrate Di Zhixun stood up and asked:

"May I ask if His Royal Highness Prince Ji has summoned me here to ask for something?"

Di Zhixun, Di Renjie's old father, is still the county magistrate of Wannian County. Li Shen originally wanted to recommend him.

But it was rejected by Dickson.

Although Di Zhixun has always been the county magistrate, his political awareness was still very high during his years as the county magistrate in Wannian County.

Prince Ji is powerful now, but he has no influence in the court. If he is nominated to take the throne, some people will think that Prince Ji has ulterior motives.

This is very unfavorable to Prince Ji's future development. Before the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it would be best for Prince Ji to have no power in the court.
