Chapter 177 Lei Yungong was arrested

The spring was bright, and a beam of sunlight shone through the window on Li Zhang's face. The birds outside the window were chirping and kept waking up. Finally, Li Zhang finally woke him up. However, when he opened his eyes, he did not rush to get up. Instead, he lay on the bed and enjoyed the rare peace. Tokyo City was too prosperous, and every morning there was traffic and traffic was very lively. Even in the deep courtyard, he was still affected by noise, which was far less peaceful than here.

Li Zhang lay on the bed for a while before getting up and washing up, then left the door. This was a huge house, several times larger than his mansion in Tokyo. Speaking of which, this was originally an imperial village, and of course there were special people to manage the imperial village. Generally, the eunuchs sent from the palace, and this house was built by the eunuchs who used to manage the imperial village.

"These eunuchs really enjoy it. I don't know how much it cost for such a large house?" Li Zhang looked around and then stepped into the front yard. That day, he lived here after he came to the imperial house. Luo Chongxun also told him that Liu E had already said that as long as the potatoes were planted successfully, the imperial house would be rewarded, so this house would naturally belong to him.

"Master, breakfast is ready!" As soon as Li Zhang arrived at the front yard, he saw an old man rushing forward and bowing. The old man's surname is Zhou, and he is the Lizheng of the outside farm. This farm is full of tenants from the imperial farm. Although the land of the imperial farm belongs to the emperor, they only need to hand in a certain proportion of grain every year. As long as the eunuchs in supervising do not exploit them too ruthlessly, their lives are still good compared to ordinary tenants.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Lizheng!" Li Zhang immediately thanked the other party. The owner of the house, the former eunuch, had long been transferred, and the servants in the house were taken away. Now he is the only one in the house, which is not convenient for food, so Li Zhang took care of a few people from the outside village. Unexpectedly, Zhou Lizheng actually came here in person. Usually, his daughter and daughter-in-law cooked, and his son was responsible for cleaning the house.

"You are polite, you are all things I should do!" Zhou Lizheng said again. The old man was very smart. He had long seen that Li Zhang was not an ordinary person, so he deliberately cursed him when he saw Li Zhang. Of course, the most important thing was that after Li Zhang came to the imperial village, he announced that he had reduced some miscellaneous taxes set by the eunuch in the past, so that they only needed to pay the rent from the imperial village. This made Zhou Lizheng very grateful to Li Zhang.

Now Li Zhang came to the restaurant in the front yard, and then Zhou Lizheng's daughter-in-law served the meal. Although it was a bit simple, it tasted okay. After Li Zhang finished eating, he stepped out of the yard. The surrounding area of ​​his house was empty. Zhou Lizheng's village was one mile away from Li Zhang's house. It was probably because the manager at the time disdained to live with the tenant.

Two miles ahead of the house, there are the army led by Hu Yan Shouxin, with a total of 500 people, but usually two of them are patrolling outside, so there are usually only 300 people in the military camp. Hu Yan Shouxin is extremely strict in governing the army, and he trains these hundreds of people to cry and mom every day. However, this is true. The soldiers of this battalion gradually become more fierce, and unlike other troops, it seems a bit slow.

Li Zhang immediately stepped out of the yard, then walked along a small field path, and after passing a small river in front, he came to a fertile field. He saw that potatoes had been planted in the fields. After the potatoes sprouted, Li Zhang cut the potatoes into small pieces and planted them in the field. Because the spacing was relatively large, he planted about five acres in total. Of course, this was not planted by himself, but Zhou Lizheng found several tenants who could live in it, and it took him a day to plant it.

"See Li Ban read!" Li Zhang stepped across the river on the small bridge on the river, and immediately a patrol soldier came forward to salute. This potato is now the top priority. Hu Yan Shouxin arranged for the soldiers to patrol for twelve hours a day. Usually, no one was allowed by Li Zhang, so no one was allowed.

"Thank you guys for your hard work!" Li Zhang said with a smile at this time. Then he went straight to the field to see the growth of the potatoes. The reason why he did not leave after planting the potatoes was mainly to see the growth of the potatoes. After all, if something went wrong, he would find a way to remedy it.

I have to say that potatoes are easy to live. Now these potato sprouts have just been planted for a few days. Not only have they survived, but some have also started to grow leaves. It seems that it will not take long, and this place will become lush and green. Li Zhang plans to harvest potatoes again in half a year, and then plant them after germination, and strive to expand the potato planting scale to the entire imperial village within one year.

After checking the growth of potatoes, Li Zhang stood up and continued to walk forward. He was about to go to Hu Yan Shuxin to chat with him. Although the scenery in the imperial village was beautiful, it was too boring. The only person who could talk to him was Hu Yan Shuxin. However, Hu Yan Shuxin had to train his army in normal times and would not leave the barracks.

However, when Li Zhang came to the military camp, he was idle and asked after asking. He found out that Hu Yan Shouxin personally took two teams to inspect around the imperial tomb. Li Zhang originally wanted to go back, but he felt bored at home, so he walked out of the military camp and planned to go around the imperial tomb.

It was a coincidence that just after Li Zhang left the imperial village, he happened to see Hu Yan Shouxin bringing a team of people back, which made Li Zhang very surprised and asked: "Brother Shouxin, why are you back so early?"

"There is a big deal in the imperial tomb!" Hu Yan Shouxin immediately threw his saddle and dismounted his horse when he saw Li Zhang, and then said to Li Zhang with a serious look on his face.

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

"I just met Commander Li who was in charge of the south while patrolling. The other party was well-informed and there were people he knew on the imperial tomb. According to him, this morning, the eunuch Lei Yungong, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, was arrested!" Hu Yan Shouxin immediately spoke again.

The guards of the imperial tomb are not just Hu Yan Shuxin. In fact, the guards are divided into five parts, one in the east, west, south and north. Hu Yan Shuxin belongs to the east part, and there is also a team of guards stationed on 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 had the largest eunuch in the palace, and he was also colluding with Ding Wei. Even Liu E didn't dare to touch him easily, so Li Zhang couldn't believe it for a moment.

"Absolutely accurate, and the people who escorted Lei Yungong were about to pass by us. I heard that they were going to escort to Tokyo City for guilt." Hu Yan Shouxin said again. He knew that Lei Yungong was a person next to Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang was Zhao Zhen's companion. Both sides must know each other, so after hearing the news, he hurried back to notify Li Zhang.

"Do you know why Lei Yungong was arrested?" Li Zhang immediately asked anxiously. Does it mean that Ding Wei is also in trouble? In addition, Li Zhang also thought that the backer behind the Kingsoft family was Lei Yungong. If Lei Yungong fell down, their family might be implicated.

"I don't know this, but the imperial tomb has been martial law. It seems that something big happened. If you just catch one person, there would be no such a big situation." Hu Yan Shouxin frowned and said again. Although he was responsible for inspecting the imperial tomb, he had a sticking route. If there was no order, he would definitely not be able to get close to the imperial tomb, so he was not very clear about the situation there.

Li Zhang frowned when he heard this. He didn't know what happened in the imperial tomb, so 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 Kingsoft family?

However, just as Li Zhang was thinking, he suddenly saw a group of people coming on the road to the west. Li Zhang immediately stood up and looked over there. As a result, he soon saw a prison car escorting between the team. At first, because it was a bit far away, he couldn't see who was in the prison car. But as the other party approached, Li Zhang finally saw that the person being detained inside was Lei Yungong.

Compared to his previous high spirits, Lei Yungong is now in a very embarrassing situation. The hat on his head has long been knocked off, his gray hair is messy, his face is full of fear, and there seem to be more wrinkles on his face. He looks like he has grown old all of a sudden.

Just as Li Zhang looked at Lei Yungong, Lei Yungong suddenly saw him. As a result, his originally unsightly eyes suddenly burst out with a desire to survive. He immediately turned over and grabbed the fence of the prison car with both hands and shouted at Li Zhang: "Li Banju, help me, please, for the sake of the past friendship, I must help me plead with Your Majesty. After all, even if the old slave has no credit, he will work hard..."

Lei Yungong seemed to treat Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen as his life-saving straw. He shouted all the way along the prison car. Even though the guard next to him stabbed him with a stick, he still struggled to stand up and shouted at Li Zhang. Finally, until the prison car left, his voice gradually disappeared.

Seeing Lei Yungong's embarrassing appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh. He had no friendship with Lei Yungong, and even if he wanted to help, he was powerless even if he wanted to help. As for Zhao Zhen, let alone Zhao Zhen disliked Lei Yungong more than anyone else. This time, Lei Yungong was unlucky, and Zhao Zhen was too happy, so how could he help him?
