The spring is bright, a beam of sunlight shines on Li Zhang's face through the window, and the birds outside the window are also chirping non-stop, and finally wakes Li Zhang up, but he didn't rush to get up when he opened his eyes, but lay on the bed and enjoy this rare peace, Tokyo City is too prosperous, every morning is very busy with traffic, even if it is in the courtyard of the deep house, it will still be affected by the noise, far less peaceful than here.

Li Zhang lay on the bed for a while, then got up and washed up, and then went out of the door, this is a huge mansion, several times larger than his mansion in Tokyo City, speaking of which, this is the Imperial Village, and of course the Imperial Village will have special people to manage, usually eunuchs sent by the palace, and this mansion was built by the eunuchs who used to manage the Imperial Village.

"These eunuchs are really going to enjoy it, I don't know how much it cost to spend such a big mansion?" Li Zhang looked around at this mansion, and then walked to the front yard, after he came to this imperial village that day, he lived here, and Luo Chongxun also told him that Liu E had already said that as long as the potatoes were successfully planted, this imperial village would be rewarded to him, so this mansion was naturally his.

"Master, breakfast is ready!" As soon as Li Zhang came to the front yard, he saw an old man walking forward quickly and saluting, this old man's surname is Zhou, he is the inside of the Zhuangzi outside, this Zhuangzi is all tenants of the Huangzhuang, although the land of the Huangzhuang belongs to the emperor, but they only need to hand over a certain percentage of grain every year, as long as the eunuchs who supervise do not exploit too ruthlessly, their life is still good compared to ordinary tenants.

"It's right to have Lao Zhouli!" Li Zhang immediately thanked the other party and said, the owner of this mansion, that is, the original Tai Supervisor, has long been transferred, and the subordinates in the house have also been taken away, and now he is alone in the house, and it is not even convenient to eat, so Li Zhang took care of a few people from the Zhuangzi outside, but he didn't expect this Zhou Lizheng to come in person, usually his daughter and daughter-in-law cook, and his son is responsible for cleaning the house.

"You're welcome, sir, these are what I should do!" Zhou Li said again, this old man is very shrewd, he has long seen that Li Zhang is not an ordinary person, so he also deliberately stammered when he saw Li Zhang, of course, the most important thing is that after Li Zhang came to Huangzhuang, he announced that he had reduced some miscellaneous taxes set by the previous Tai Supervisor, so that they only needed to pay the rent of Huangzhuang, which made Zhou Lizheng also very grateful to Li Zhang.

At that moment, Li Zhang came to the restaurant in the front yard, and then Zhou Lizheng's daughter-in-law sent the meal, although it was a little simple, but the taste was okay, after Li Zhang finished eating, he stepped out of the yard, his house was surrounded by an open space, Zhou Lizheng and their Zhuangzi was a mile away from Li Zhang's house, it is estimated that the original steward disdained to live with this tenant.

Two miles in front of the house, there is the army led by Huyan Shouxin, a total of 500 people, but generally there will be two patrols outside, so there are generally only 300 people in the barracks, and Huyan Shouxin governs the army very strictly, and every day these hundreds of people practice crying dad and mother, but it is precisely like this, the soldiers of this battalion are slowly becoming a little more fierce, unlike other armies that seem a little slow.

Li Zhang walked out of the courtyard at the moment, and then walked along a field path, after crossing a small river in front, only then came to a fertile field, only to see that the field has been planted with potatoes, after these potatoes sprouted, Li Zhang cut the potatoes into small pieces and planted them in the field, because the spacing is relatively large, so a total of about five acres were planted, of course, this is not planted by himself, but let Zhou Lizheng find a few tenants who can live, and it took a day to plant.

"See Li Ban Reading!" Li Zhang stepped on the small bridge on the river and crossed the river, and immediately there were patrolling soldiers who stepped forward and saluted, this piece of potatoes is now the top priority, Huyan Shouxin arranged for the soldiers to patrol for twelve hours a day, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach without Li Zhang's permission.

"Brothers, hard work!" Li Zhang also said with a smile at this time, and then he went straight to the field to see the growth of the potatoes, the reason why he didn't leave after planting the potatoes was mainly to see the growth of the potatoes, after all, if something went wrong, he would have to find a way to remedy it.

I have to say that potatoes are good to live, now these potato sprouts have just been planted for a few days, not only survived, but also some have begun to pull leaves, it seems that it will not take long, here will also become lush, and Li Zhang plans to harvest potatoes again in half a year, and then plant them after germination, and strive to expand the planting scale of potatoes to the entire Huangzhuang within a year.

After checking the growth of potatoes, Li Zhang stood up and continued to walk forward, he was going to go to Huyan Shouxin to chat for a while, although the scenery in Huangzhuang was beautiful, but it was too boring, the only person who could talk to him was Huyan Shouxin, but usually Huyan Shouxin also had to train the army, and generally would not leave the barracks.

However, when Li Zhang came to the barracks, he was in a hurry and asked for a while to find out that Hu Yan Shouxin personally took two teams of people to inspect the imperial mausoleum today, Li Zhang wanted to go back, but he felt that he was bored at home, so he walked out of the barracks, and then planned to go around the Huangzhuang.

It's also a coincidence, just when Li Zhang just left the Huangzhuang, he happened to see Huyan Shouxin coming back with a team of people, which made Li Zhang also very surprised and asked: "Brother Shouxin, why did you come back so early?" ”

"There's something big going on over there in the Imperial Mausoleum!" Hu Yan Shouxin saw that Li Zhang also immediately threw the saddle and dismounted, and then said to Li Zhang with a solemn face.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked.

"Just now when I was patrolling, I met Commander Li who was in charge of the south, the other party was well-informed, and there were people he knew on the side of the Imperial Mausoleum, according to him, early this morning, Lei Yungong, the great eunuch who was in charge of supervising the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum, was arrested!" Hu Yan Shouxin immediately spoke again.

In fact, the guards are divided into five parts, one each in the east, west, north and south, and Huyan is in the east, and there is also a team of guards stationed at the construction site of the imperial tomb, responsible for the safety of the imperial tomb.

"What? Lei Yungong was arrested, is this news accurate? Li Zhang couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard this, Lei Yungong knew that he was the number one eunuch in the palace, and he was still in collusion with Ding Wei, even Liu E didn't dare to move him easily, so Li Zhang couldn't believe it for a while.

"Absolutely accurate, and the person escorting Lei Yungong is about to pass by us, and I heard that he is going to be escorted to Tokyo City for questioning." Hu Yan Shouxin spoke again at the moment, he knew that Lei Yungong was the person next to Zhao Zhen, and Li Zhang was Zhao Zhen's companion, and the two sides must know each other, so he hurried back to inform Li Zhang after hearing the news.

"Then do you know why Lei Yungong was arrested?" Li Zhang immediately anxiously asked, Lei Yungong was arrested, does that mean that Ding Wei is also unlucky? In addition, Li Zhang also thought that the backer behind the Jinshan family was Lei Yungong, and if Lei Yungong fell, their family would probably be implicated.

"I don't know about this, but the Imperial Tomb has been under martial law, it seems that something big has happened, if you just arrest one person, you don't need such a big battle." Hu Yan Shouxin frowned and spoke again, although he was in charge of inspecting the Imperial Tomb, he had a stubborn route, and without an order, he would never be able to approach the Imperial Tomb, so he was not very clear about the situation over there.

Li Zhang also frowned when he heard this, he didn't know what happened to the imperial tomb, he couldn't know the reason why Lei Yungong was arrested, and he didn't know if this matter would involve Ding Wei and the Jinshan family?

However, just when Li Zhang was pondering, he suddenly saw a group of people coming on the road to the west, and Li Zhang immediately stood up straight and looked over there, but soon saw a prisoner cart in the middle of this group of people, at first because it was a little far away, so he couldn't see who was in the prisoner car, but as the other party approached, Li Zhang finally saw that the person being detained inside was Lei Yungong.

Compared with the previous high-spirited, the current Lei Yungong can be described as extremely embarrassed, the hat on his head has long been knocked off, his gray hair is messy, his face is full of panic, and there seem to be more wrinkles on his face, and the whole person looks like he has aged by more than ten years all of a sudden.

Just when Li Zhang looked at Lei Yungong, Lei Yungong also suddenly saw him, only to see that his originally godless eyes suddenly burst into a desire to survive, and immediately turned over, grabbed the fence of the prisoner car with both hands and shouted at Li Zhang: "Li Ban read help, please see the friendship in the past, you must help me intercede with Your Majesty, after all, the old slave has hard work even if he has no merit......"

Lei Yungong seemed to regard Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen as his lifesavers, and he shouted all the way to the prisoner car, even if the guard next to him stabbed him down with a stick, he still struggled to stand up and shouted to Li Zhang, and finally until the prisoner car was far away, his voice gradually became inaudible.

Seeing Lei Yungong's embarrassed appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, he didn't have much friendship with Lei Yungong, and for such a big thing, even if he wanted to help, he was powerless, not to mention Zhao Zhen, he hated Lei Yungong more than anyone else, this time Lei Yungong was unlucky, Zhao Zhen was too late to be happy, where would he help him?

"Brother Shouxin, you can arrange a car for me, I want to go back to Tokyo City!" Looking at Lei Yungong who gradually disappeared at the end of the road, Li Zhang suddenly said to Hu Yan at this time, he didn't care about Lei Yungong's life and death, but the Jinshan family couldn't care about it, even if he was a small person, but as a friend, what he should do was still to be done.
