Coolie camp.

This place is actually Liangshan Prison, located on an island in Liangshan Inner Lake, surrounded by water on all sides.

Originally, it was only used to imprison some local ruffians who were captured by Liangshan. Later, as Liangshan grew larger, the number of people imprisoned there also increased.

Corrupt officials, shady bureaucrats, thugs, bullies... you name it, they've got it.

However, these people dared not blast spikes while in the labor camp.

The rule here at Liangshan is that, depending on your crime, you have to stay in a hard labor camp for a few years. Through this labor reform, you will have the opportunity to regain your freedom.

If you perform well during this labor reform process, you can receive commendation, which can shorten your labor time and help you be released earlier.

But if you don't cooperate here and cause a disturbance, then I'm sorry, you'll be on the execution platform of the Liangshan Military Law Department!

After Zhu Tong was arrested, he originally planned to just get by in the labor camp. But who would have thought that after staying in the labor camp for a long time and seeing the changes that happened to the people there, Zhu Tong actually regained his hope for life.

Later, he took the initiative to help the Liangshan soldiers in the labor camp guard prisoners, and semi-voluntarily became the leader of the labor camp.

Later, Ren Yuan saw that he was doing the job quite well, so he officially put him in charge of the labor camp. Later, Shen Qing and Lin Ren were all people Ren Yuan found to help Zhu Tong.

For Zhu Tong, his current dream is that one day, everyone in the labor camp will be able to complete their rehabilitation and regain their freedom!

But this wish was too difficult to fulfill, especially after Guan Sheng was arrested. Zhu Tong felt that his wish was probably impossible to achieve.

Guan Sheng, also known as Guan Dadao, is incredibly stubborn. No matter who tried to persuade him before, he remained unmoved.

Ma Jun's Tang Bin almost got into a fight with Guan Sheng in the labor camp because of an unpleasant conversation!

At that time, Zhu Tong really couldn't do anything about Guan Sheng, and even said to Guan Sheng at one point:

"I'm telling you, Guan, either you should reform yourself properly, or you should just lie down over there and stop causing trouble, okay?"

If it weren't for the fact that the two looked and dressed similarly, which made Zhu Tong instinctively feel closer to them, he wouldn't have bothered to talk about Guan Sheng at all!

Because Guan Sheng never properly completes his missions in the camp.

While others were sweeping the floor, Guan Sheng was meditating.

While others were farming, Guan Sheng was practicing martial arts.

While others were carrying manure, Guan Sheng was sleeping.

Zhu Tong had no choice but to report to Ren Yuan, saying that Guan Sheng was beyond his control and that Guan Sheng's behavior had caused considerable dissatisfaction among the other laborers in the camp, which would be detrimental to their rehabilitation in the long run.

Ren Yuan didn't say anything after he found out.

That same day, he took Sun An, Bian Xiang, and Lin Chong to the labor camp. The four of them went together and had a "very friendly" exchange with Guan Sheng.

I don't know the specifics of the process, but Guan Sheng became much more obedient after that.

However, Guan Sheng's initiative to approach Ren Yuan today still surprised everyone.

"Guan Sheng, speak, what is it?"

When Ren arrived at the labor camp, he saw Guan Sheng sitting in Zhu Tong's room.

Hmm, not bad, you look great, and the arrogance on your face isn't as much as it used to be.

"I heard that Chief Ren has captured Daming Prefecture?"

In the past few days, many people have come from Daming Prefecture. Since Liangshan also arrested some local ruffians and hooligans in Daming Prefecture, a group of people have been imprisoned. Guan Sheng must have heard the news from these people.

"Yes, I destroyed Daming Prefecture. Do you think I shouldn't have done that?"

"That's one of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty! Chief Ren, what are you doing?! Are you trying to raise a flag and rebel?"

Well, Guan Sheng's question was still as impulsive as ever.

"Hey, I'm just an extra here today."

When Ren Yuan saw it, he immediately felt that he had come for nothing.

“If you keep using this excuse, I won’t keep you company. Liangshan is very busy right now. If you’re going to stay in the labor camp, then stay there.”

"If you don't want to stay put, my senior brothers are here now, and they will come and have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

Ren Yuan's tone was unfriendly.

"Chief, calm down, calm down."

Upon seeing this situation, Zhu Tong immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Did you make him too comfortable?"

Ren Yuan turned to Zhu Tong and asked.

"Zhu Tong, Guan Sheng doesn't seem to understand his place. He's just a prisoner, and he's only interested in being someone's dog. Don't let him have it so easy!"

"Chief Ren, you've gone too far! When have I ever been a dog?"

The contempt in Ren Yuan's words probably provoked Guan Sheng, who suddenly stood up and stared intently at Ren Yuan.

"Heh, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Let me ask you, do you even know whose territory Daming Prefecture is?"

Ren Yuan asked Guan Sheng.

"If Chief Ren is asking about the Prefect of Daming Prefecture, then it is Liang Zhongshu."

After being glared at by Ren Yuan, Guan Sheng calmed down a bit and replied.

"Do you know how much money Liang Zhongshu embezzled in Daming Prefecture?"

"That adds up to about seven million strings of cash! Guan Sheng! Tell me, seven million, how much of that is the hard-earned money of the people?"

Guan Sheng was also shocked by the number. Seven million strings of cash! He never thought he would have so much money in his life!

"Liang Shijie is Cai Jing's son-in-law. He embezzled so much money. Has the court said anything about it?"

"No! The imperial court will even praise him as a good official! Because of Liang Shijie's seven million strings of cash, three million will be given to Zhao Ji! To be used to build palaces for him to enjoy!"

"Do you know where those three million strings of cash came from? That's my senior brother Lu Junyi's family fortune!"

"With a court like this, you're still so devoted to it? What are you if not a dog?"

Ren Yuan's words were like a knife to the heart, making Guan Sheng's already red face turn even redder!

"Well, those are a minority..."

Guan Sheng was trying to salvage the situation when Ren Yuan interrupted him directly:

"How much are you, Guan Sheng, worth?"

"Why do you ask?"

Guan Sheng frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Let me tell you! Wang Wancang, the garrison commander of Daming Prefecture, could afford to pay 500,000 strings of cash to save his own life! What about you?"

"Five hundred thousand strings of cash! It is true that Daming Prefecture is one of the four capitals of the country, but which ordinary family in Daming Prefecture can have five hundred thousand strings of cash!"

“But Wang Wancang has it! Just because he is the garrison commander of Daming Prefecture, just because he can bribe his superiors, he has it!”

"How much does a garrison commander of a major prefecture get? Five hundred thousand strings of cash! What if I rebel against this kind of court and this kind of officialdom?"

Ren Yuan reached out and pointed at Guan Sheng, continuing to speak.

"Guan Sheng, if you weren't a descendant of Guan Yu, who do you think you are? Liangshan doesn't need another one like you!"

"You dare to ask me today if I'm rebelling? Let me tell you, your ancestor Guan Yu could ask me that, but you, you're not worthy?"

"It was Gao Qiu who sent you to attack my Liangshan, right? Fine, when Gao Qiu is arrested, I'll make sure you're there to watch."

"You want to be the court's loyal dog? I'll grant your wish!"

"Zhu Tong! From now on, double this guy's workload!"

"I don't want to see a prisoner so comfortable!"

After Ren Yuan finished cursing, he left immediately. He was really busy and didn't have time to talk too much with a stubborn person!

“Brother, brother, calm down. Actually, Guan Sheng wants to back down, but he just gets stubborn whenever he sees you. He's actually figured things out recently…”

Zhu Tong saw that Ren Yuan was angry, so he quickly followed him out.

"Is this a sign that he's come to his senses? Make him do ten days of hard labor, then get out of here!"

"Want to go back to the court and be Gao Qiu's dog? Then I'll grant his wish!"

"Our Liangshan Mountain doesn't need another one like him!"
