Although Shen Wu and Lu were very worried about their daughter and son-in-law, this matter was not something they could have the final say on.

On the seventh day after Changsheng returned, his injuries were almost healed, and Shen Chunsheng and Dong Ting also returned from the provincial capital.

Shen Chunsheng's guess was correct at the beginning. Tongzhi Yang was transferred away the year before last, and the current Tongzhi is surnamed Wang.

The two men found out this information after stuffing a lot of silver outside the yamen.

They were afraid that they had made a mistake, so they made some further inquiries in the provincial capital, only then did they confirm that the person had really been transferred.

Shen Chunsheng thought that they had come here without accomplishing anything. If they just went back like this, they would be afraid of delaying the rescue of Changsheng. Thinking of this, Shen Chunsheng gritted his teeth and took Shen Dongting to squat outside the government office for two days. After finding out which official was Wang Tongzhi, he shamelessly followed him all the way when Wang Tongzhi left the office. Finally, he stopped Official Wang's sedan chair in a remote place.

Lord Wang did not show up at first. He heard the servant report that someone was stopping the sedan chair from across the sedan chair. Then he asked through the curtain what the visitor wanted.

Shen Chunsheng knew that if he introduced himself right away, Lord Wang would not recognize him, so he introduced himself as Lord Yang first and showed him the token.

It was not until Lord Wang heard Lord Yang and looked at the token that he lifted the curtain and revealed his face.

Lord Wang is a skinny middle-aged man with a goatee and sharp eyes.

Although the jade pendant was not Lord Yang's token of loyalty, the patterns carved on it were not something that ordinary people could use.

He looked at the two Shen brothers and saw that they looked like ordinary people. He did not look down on them. He thought that the person behind them was not simple. Lord Wang immediately restrained his official authority and asked what was the matter.

At first, the brothers Shen Chunsheng were nervous when they were stared at by Lord Wang. It was not until Lord Wang asked them that Shen Chunsheng mustered up the courage to tell him what he wanted.

However, Shen Dongting was careful and only presented the Ganoderma lucidum to Lord Wang, while he kept the ginseng, saying that he would give it as a thank-you gift after the task was accomplished.

When Lord Wang saw the Ganoderma lucidum that was as big as a washbasin, he was stunned and quickly agreed.

Unfortunately, when the people Lord Wang sent to Yunmeng County came back, they were disappointed to learn that Changsheng was fine.

He can't accept the gift if the matter is not settled, right?

If it was an ordinary person with no background, he would have accepted it, but these two people obviously had backgrounds. He heard from his subordinates that the brothers' brother-in-law was rescued by someone from the capital.

As a result, he could not do such things even more. If it got out in the future, it would affect his official reputation.

But Lord Wang was unwilling to send back such a big Ganoderma lucidum.

He heard that the mother of the Minister of Personnel was not in good health and needed precious medicinal materials for medicine. The moment Lord Wang saw the Ganoderma lucidum, he thought of this.

If such a large Ganoderma lucidum is sent to the capital, next year's promotion assessment will not be a problem.

Lord Wang was determined to get the Ganoderma lucidum. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea.

He sent someone to invite the Shen brothers and told them directly that the man had been acquitted, but it was not his credit. Then he took out the Ganoderma lucidum and returned it to the Shen brothers.

The two brothers Shen Chunsheng were naturally very happy to learn that their brother-in-law was fine. When Shen Dongting saw Lord Wang returning the Ganoderma lucidum to them, he happily wanted to take the thing back, but was stopped by his eldest brother.

"Sir, since this gift has been delivered to you, it means that you have a connection with it. There is absolutely no reason to take it back. You should accept it quickly!"

Lord Wang did not expect Shen Chunsheng to be so generous. Such precious Ganoderma lucidum is extremely rare. It is understandable if he gave it away for a request. But now the two Shen brothers have nothing to ask for, but they still gave such precious Ganoderma lucidum to him. Could it be that they have something to ask for?

"You... do you have something to ask for?" Lord Wang thought so and asked.

Shen Chunsheng shook his head and said, "Sir Wang, since my brother-in-law is safe, we two brothers have nothing to ask for. Let's pack our bags and return home."

Lord Wang laughed, but never mentioned returning the Ganoderma lucidum again.

But he thought to himself: This kid is smart. If these two people take the Ganoderma lucidum back, he will naturally have plenty of ways to take it back on the road without anyone noticing.

However, whether these two people can survive is another matter.

When the two brothers of the Shen family came out of Lord Wang's house, Shen Dongting was still a little unhappy.

"Brother, Lord Wang didn't do anything, why did you give him such a big Ganoderma lucidum? Fortunately..."

Shen Dongting thought that it was a good thing that he didn't take out the ginseng at that time, otherwise, it would all be given away for nothing.

Unfortunately, his mouth was covered by his eldest brother, "Shut up! Let's talk about it when we get back!"

After saying that, Shen Chunsheng took him back to the inn where they were staying.

Shen Dongting was not completely stupid. He knew that he was carrying a treasure and couldn't tell anyone about it outside, so he obediently followed his elder brother back to the inn.

After they closed the door, Shen Dongting started to complain again, "Brother, Lord Wang said he wanted to return the things, why did you give them to him?

But... didn't I say that? Changsheng was acquitted and he didn't help at all. This is too much of a loss!"

Shen Chunsheng glanced at his brother and asked, "Do you think Lord Wang likes that thing?"

Shen Dongting thought about it, and recalled the moment when he took out the Ganoderma Lucidum, Lord Wang's eyes lit up. "I think he should like it. It's so big and valuable. If it were me, I would like it too, but...does his liking for it have anything to do with us giving it to him for free?"

"How is it not related?" Shen Chunsheng rolled his eyes at his brother and explained, "Let's not talk about the fact that they helped to get the information. Is it appropriate for us to take the things back? Let's just say that this Ganoderma lucidum has been exposed to outsiders. We just took it back from Lord Wang. How do you know that nothing will happen to us on the way back?"

Shen Dongting was stunned. "No way... Lord Wang is a senior official... How could he..."

"No matter whether Lord Wang can do it or not, we can't take that thing. And don't let anyone know about that thing. Let's pack up, eat something, and rent a carriage to go back in the afternoon."

Shen Dongting was still a little unconvinced. That was a really big Ganoderma lucidum, and he just gave it away like that. It really hurt!

"Hmph, this Ganoderma lucidum is not yours, you don't feel sorry for it!" Shen Dongting couldn't help but say.

How could Shen Chunsheng not feel bad? The things were not his, but they were also his sister's. Giving away such precious medicinal materials for his sister like this made him feel more distressed than if they were his own.

But he had a brain, and he still remembered the flash of surprise on Lord Wang's face when he saw the Ganoderma lucidum, and the barely perceptible reluctance and ruthlessness on his face when he said he would return the Ganoderma lucidum to him.

At that time, Shen Chunsheng had a hunch that the Ganoderma lucidum must not be taken back.

If things go wrong, not only will they lose the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, but even the lives of the two brothers will be in danger.

Logically speaking, Shen Chunsheng, a farmer, shouldn't be so observant, but who made him have two pairs of identical twins at home?
