Ren Ang quietly spread out his Spiritual Energy to look, to his surprise, it was a man in his early thirties. His face was full of malice, and his pair of cold eyes were filled with evil and scheming.
— He had intentions for himself.
Ren Ang immediately came to this conclusion.
The two pearls in his hands slowly rolled, but his mind quickly turned away:
From the looks of it, this person was not a cultivator, nor was he a feng shui master, much less an official. He was likely a follower of some powerful force, so he might not be able to guess his real situation. Then it should be... A problem that his father had gotten himself into?
For example, knowing that he was Young Master Ren Family and thus wanted to use him to threaten "Father" or something like that.
However, Ren Zihua did not spread the rumours that he had found a cheap son, and did not have the intention to let him off the boat to greet everyone.
Ren Ang rolled his eyes. Coupled with the night bandits, the other party had intentionally robbed them, but failed, and then set fire to the boat and killed them all. A dispute over party friends in the imperial court?
Ah, foolish mortals, they don't do anything serious except kidnap and extort.
Ren Ang curled his lips in disdain and threw the two pearls in his hand around.
Some sharp-eyed officials on the shore saw the child lying beside the window on the second floor of the ship. Although they didn't know his identity, they could only watch as he played with the bead in his hand …
F * ck! Who was the devilish brat that was so wasteful? What if he dropped the bead in the river? A pearl the size of a walnut! It was still pink! It wasn't priceless, but it was priceless!
The county magistrate's eyes widened as he clutched his chest, looking as if he was about to suffocate.
Back then, he had also wanted to help the old master find a good item so that he could hand it over to the old master so that he could find a better place when his time was up … If he had been able to get this pair of Ocean beads, what would he have to worry about?
Ren Zihua noticed that everyone was weird, and turned around to look at the river, at the same time as he talked with the county magistrate and the rest, he looked towards the official ship.
Then, his expression slowly darkened.
When the child packed his bags and brought them on the boat, he went through a routine inspection. At that time, the child did not have such an expensive item on him, so Ren Ang made it clear that he was very poor and spent all his money.
A very 'poor' child suddenly took out such a pair of pearls as a plaything, and even used it in front of everyone …
The veins on Ren Zihua's forehead throbbed slightly. His official observed his words and hurriedly interrupted him. He said that there were still some matters that needed the lord's approval to send out as soon as possible.
None of the county officials were idiots as they quickly sent the Imperial Commissioner to him, offering him gifts as well as filial piety.
This was an old practice, Ren Zihua did not want to challenge the old customs, so after pushing it a little, he removed the things that were too precious and returned them to the official, instructing him to accept the real Earth Mask. Then, he stepped onto the pedal in big strides.
After the official ship was loaded, they set sail. The county officials who were guarding the ship began to discuss in private:
"May I ask whose child that is? He actually followed the official ship to the disaster area. This is nonsense! "
"Since they are on the official ship, they are naturally the family members of the official accompanying the ship. Maybe he was a child from the relatives in the Lord Ren? It might just be because I want to show off and gain some credit. "
"How is this possible!?" You think the disaster area is having fun? If one didn't pay attention and got infected by an evil disease, even the deities of the Great Firmament would not be able to save him! Lord Ren can bear to let his child suffer? "
"Did you notice what the child was playing with? That was a priceless pink pearl! It's that big! " The speaker gestured with his hand, his face full of envy.
"To be able to pass such precious jewels to a child for him to play with. From this, it can be seen that that person …" It's not too clean. Everyone looked at each other in tacit understanding and sighed in their hearts: As expected, their gifts were too disrespectful, the Lord Ren looked down on them!
He didn't know how many people were worried about what kind of things he would be able to get for himself in the future. Only the county magistrate, who was full of righteousness, frowned. His heart was slightly disappointed.
He had always thought that the Lord Ren was just like the rumors in the capital, a clear government official. Would the magistrate casually show a pair of pearls to his children? It seemed that the rumors were not necessarily believable! The matter that he had requested was a little difficult to deal with.
Just as he was deep in thought, the Master by the side reminded him, "Master, why did the Lord Ren not mention about the attack?" Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see the traces of a ship being attacked!
Lord Wang was shocked, [If there is an accident on the river under his rule...] His evaluation this year was bad! When his term was up, forget about promotion, it was possible for him to be demoted or left idle!
With this thought, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Lord Ren, this is... Protect him?
Who knew that Master would have another opinion: "Could it be that Lord Ren and the rest have taken care of the water bandits and obtained the benefits without revealing anything?" This can explain why a child can use pearls as toys! Perhaps the benefits collected by the water bandits would be more than just a small amount!
The others had already guessed what the Grand Master was trying to say, but they all agreed with his words as if they all had the same ambition.
As long as they did not throw the water bandits' matter at them and their governance was not good, the Lord Ren would silently make a huge fortune. They did not have any objections!
Those who were truly aware of the situation secretly vomited blood.
What good stuff! That was corrupt! Bribery! Madan! If his brothers had such good stuff, why would they need to take money to work for him!
The bandit leader, who had managed to escape with his life, was wounded in his heart.
Ren Zihua got on the boat and went straight to Ren Ang's residence.
Ren Ang was not playing with pearls this time, he was playing with a lion s embroidered ball and a piece of white jade paperweight, and an agate jade with golden footsteps. Jin Bu was carefully cleaning the plants, as well as the sand in the river.
Once Ren Zihua entered the room, he saw the object on the table.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "I couldn't tell, but you really have quite a few treasures."
Ren Ang lazily glanced at him and continued working hard, casually answering:
"This is for my wife."
"From where?" Ren Zihua did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He picked up the white jade paperweight and fiddled with it, realizing that it was indeed a good item. Moreover … It does not look like an object of this dynasty. He had done some research on antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as their playthings. This carving technique was clearly out of step with the current trend.
Finally, on the side of the paperweight base found two small seal characters: Wen Tai.
Ren Zihua suddenly opened his eyes wide!
Wen Tai. The hermit of the previous dynasty, the great calligrapher, the great scholar! Legend has it that at that time, the Monarch wanted to invite him to be his master, but he was rejected!
A single word was hard to come by!
Although it's just a piece of paperweight, not a scrap of calligraphy or painting, it's still a priceless treasure!" Imagine, which scholar would not want to have a masterpiece by his side? Even if it was just spiritual energy!
Ren Zihua temporarily forgot the purpose of his visit and directly held the paperweight in his hand. He coughed lightly and said: "I really love this paperweight. Let me enjoy it for a few days first, then I'll find other interesting things for you." He thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't you go to my room and take away everything you see."
Ren Ang:...
Shameless! Stealing from the children!
