After Li Shen returned to the palace, he immediately called for Xue Rengui. When Xue Rengui arrived, he was taken to Li Shen's study.

"Rengui, how is the training of the Blade now?" Li Shen was talking about the Blade Special Forces.

"We have just finished the wilderness survival training and are repairing at the camp." Xue Rengui replied

"Okay. Now you arrange for them to go out. The number does not need to be more than 50 people. Go to Tongzhou Fuyamen and bring me the family members of Tongzhou Governor Wei Yuanzheng and Feng Shanwu. They have to do it in secret. They have been training for so long. It should be time to test them." Li Shen ordered

"It's Your Highness. I'll go back and make arrangements right away." After saying this, Xue Rengui did not hesitate and retreated after accepting the order.

Li Shen liked this, he would execute orders without hesitation, and he would never ask why even if he was arresting an official of the imperial court. This is called loyalty.

Of course, loyalty must be rewarded accordingly, otherwise why would people work wholeheartedly for you? Xue Rengui has long said that Wang Renyi will never treat those around him badly.

And Li Shen did it. Today, Xue Rengui's family lives in a mansion. The wife takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, and also hires several maids. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune. That's why he was so loyal to Li Shen.

Sitting in the study, Li Shen began to think about it. Although it was apparently done by the Cui family and the Wei family. But it must have been jointly discussed by the family. Five surnames, seven hopes, and eight families are closed together.

The "five surnames and seven hopes" are the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan.

The "Eight Families of Guanlong" are the Li family of Longxi, the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Yang family of Hongnong, the Xiao family of Lanling, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Qinghe.

Together, these dozen companies accounted for all the profitable industries in all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty, as well as more than half of the civil and military officials in the country, plus all the officials and minor officials in parentheses. This is why Li Shimin is so afraid.

They represent a very large interest group. Li Shimin sent Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to patrol the country more than once to investigate corrupt officials.

But as long as a child of aristocratic family is found, the final result will be dismissal from office at most. Not only will there be no punishment, but even the illegal income will not be recovered.

Li Shen now just wants to think of a trick that can make these aristocratic families injured and bleed some.

A head-on confrontation would definitely not work. He didn't have the strength, and Li Shimin wouldn't agree. Li Shen thought like this all night.

The next day, Li Shen took people to the cement-burning workshop in Nanshan and had a kiln emptied.

There were only a few trustworthy people left who could make kilns, and Li Shen wanted to make glass.

In fact, it was possible to make glass during this period, but firstly, it was colored, and secondly, the quality was not very good.

However, it was still sought after by nobles. Li Shen had seen one in the palace. All Li Shen had to do was to make transparent glass.

This is something I have learned in high school, but I have never actually practiced it. Quartz sand, caustic soda and quicklime.

After crushing and mixing according to the proportion, it was fired at [-] degrees. Li Shen's cement kiln fully met the requirements. The next step was the process of constantly changing the proportions to select the best one.

Two days later, the sharp blade on the mission secretly brought back Feng Shanwu's family and Wei Yuanzheng.

Li Shen asked people to arrange for Feng Shanwu's family to be brought to Huangzhuang, saying that they were the family members of the invited craftsmen. He also specially sent someone to notify Feng Shanwu. Feng Shanwu burst into tears when he found out.

Wei Yuanzheng was taken to the No. [-] granary guarded by the sharp blade. It was actually a large cave. Li Shen had specially asked the guards to dig it and built a base similar to an air raid shelter with reinforced concrete.

When Li Shen led people into the warehouse, he heard someone yelling.

"Who are you? I am an official of the imperial court. Let me out quickly."

"I am from the Jingzhao Wei family. Why are you arresting me?"

"Is that Wei Yuanzheng inside?" Li Shen turned around and asked Xue Rengui.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard from the team that it was easy to catch him. He was drunk at the time." Xue Rengui affirmed.

"Are the Wei family so ungrateful?" Li Shen curled his lips. "Open the door"

This is a temporarily converted cell with nothing in it, just a room, not even a bed.

A messy middle-aged man in Chinese clothes sat on the ground and stood up immediately when he saw someone opening the door.

But a young man came in, followed by several guards.

"Who are you and why do you want to arrest me? I am a court official, and arresting a court official is regarded as rebellion." Wei Yuanzheng calmed down immediately when he saw someone. There is a chance to talk to someone.

"You know it's good to scare people with rebellion. If you are so smart, guess who I am. You can definitely guess it," Li Shen said with a smile.

Wei Yuanzheng looked Li Shen up and down and suddenly his eyes widened and he screamed: "Are you King Ji Li Shen?"

Li Shen was not surprised at all that he could guess his identity and smiled at him and said: "Look, isn't this quite smart? I said you can definitely guess it. Are you surprised to see me? Not disappointed at all.”

Wei Yuanzheng calmed down immediately after knowing it was Li Shen. What he was most afraid of was not knowing his identity. Now that he knew it, he was not so afraid: "I don't know what King Ji wanted to arrest me for. Do you know that arresting court officials without permission is considered treason?"

Li Shen laughed when he saw Wei Yuanzheng's changes before and after, "Wei Yuanzheng, Mr. Wei, don't you really know why I arrested you?"

How about I give you a little hint, I caught Feng Shanwu. I also captured more than 200 Tongzhou soldiers.

And I killed six to seven hundred dead soldiers and three to four hundred cavalry. Does any of this remind you of anything? "

"Hmph, I don't know what you mean, Prince Ji. Feng Shanwu is indeed my Tongzhou Dianjun, but I don't know why he was captured by you."

Wei Yuanzheng will definitely not admit it. He still has his identity to rely on. He was already making plans in his mind. Li Shen would definitely not dare to do anything to him. The crime of killing the assassin was a very serious crime, and An Lu could not torture him.

"But Feng Shanwu has already confessed, saying that you ordered him to assassinate me. What do you think of this?" Li Shen was not in a hurry and just treated it as playing with him.

"There is no proof, how can you convict me based on Feng Shanwu's words. He is just a small Dianjun. He must be dissatisfied with me and framed me because I taught him a lesson.

I want to meet the saint, and I want to impeach you for setting up a private court and arresting court officials without authorization. You may not know yet, but my wife is the Queen’s niece. You’d better let me go now. I can remember that you were young and forget about it. "Wei Yuanzheng's attitude became more and more proud.

Li Shen wondered if the person in front of him was a fool, and he had already caught him. Do you know his true identity? Isn't he afraid of killing him unnoticed in this deep mountain and old forest?
