    Chapter 198 Li was arrested

    The sweet potato eating competition was extremely successful, which not only enlivened the atmosphere of Chang'an City and gained Li Zhen's popularity, but also successfully promoted sweet potatoes in Chang'an City.

    Li Zhen believes that it won¡¯t be long before sweet potatoes will bloom all over the Tang Dynasty. By then, the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat.

    You know, before the large-scale cultivation of sweet potatoes, the Ming Dynasty could not even feed a population of 100 million.

    But after the large-scale planting of sweet potatoes, the Qing Dynasty could feed a population of 400 million people.

    In the era of the Tang Dynasty, population was the productive force and the guarantee of national strength. It can be seen that sweet potatoes have extremely important strategic significance.

    However, except for Li Zhen, no one today can think of this level. Even Di Renjie did not realize the importance of sweet potatoes.

    For several days, there was a lot of traffic outside Li Zhen's house. First, Cheng Yaojin came. When they met, he said to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, I heard that sweet potatoes are delicious, and I, Old Cheng, also want to try them."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Yuchi Jingde and others also came over and happily asked Li Zhen for sweet potatoes.

    Li Zhen took a look and realized that these four veterans were all his die-hard supporters, so naturally they couldn't neglect them.

    Li Zhen said: "It's better to come here than to see it. Since several old generals are here, I will put on a sweet potato feast."

    Afterwards, Li Zhen had people put out roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato syrup, vermicelli made from sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, and dried sweet potatoes. The old generals enjoyed the food.

    After eating, Li Zhen also asked people to bring two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes for each person to go home and feed them to his family.

    It made several old princes so happy that they said Li Zhen was very interesting.

    Several old princes left the Prince's Mansion happily and returned home with a full load. As soon as Li Zhen entered the mansion, someone else said at the door: "Wang Fangyi and Cheng Chuzhi would like to see you."

    "These two guys are really dogs, and they have very good noses." Li Zhen scolded with a smile, thinking that these two people must also be here for the sweet potatoes.

    At that moment, Li Zhen asked someone to bring some sweet potato products to the two of them, which made Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi very happy.

    As soon as the two left, Xue Rengui, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu and others also rushed over.

    I want sweet potatoes again!

    Li Zhen looked helpless. She really didn¡¯t expect that these sweet potatoes were so popular. If she continued to give them away, she would never be able to give away all the sweet potatoes.

    Li Zhen gave Xue Rengui and others a lot of sweet potato products.

    I thought it would be fine this time.  Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the little miracle doctor Sun Qingqi also came, looking for sweet potatoes.

    Li Zhen was naturally not stingy and gave Sun Qingqi a lot of sweet potatoes. In short, for several days, there was no peace in Li Zhen's house.

    All the dignitaries from Chang'an, including Li Zhenran, came to ask for sweet potatoes.

    Since there were a lot of sweet potatoes, Li Zhen was naturally not stingy and agreed to these people's requests one by one.

    Within a few days, Li Zhen heard that sweet potatoes were already being sold on the black market in Chang'an. The price was so high that she could only buy ten kilograms of sweet potatoes with her usual money.

    Even so, it has a price but no market.

    Li Zhen was confused, who took the sweet potatoes and sold them on the black market?

    Li Zhen asked someone to investigate and found that the sweet potatoes sold on the black market turned out to be Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi.

    Li Zhen¡¯s nose was almost flat and crooked. She thought to herself that Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi were his direct descendants, so how could they sell the sweet potatoes they gave them?  Short of money and red eyes?

    So Li Zhen had Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi called over and questioned them face to face.

    "Lao Cheng, Lao Wang, are you two selling the sweet potatoes on the black market?" Li Zhen asked.

    "Ahem um Your Highness, we have no choice but to do so," Cheng Chuzhi said.

    "What's the last resort? I would like to hear it." Li Zhen curled his lips.

    Cheng Chuzhi said: "His Royal Highness, Lao Wang and I, General Qianniuwei, have not been promoted for almost two years. As you know, promotion now relies on connections and gold and silver. We are sorry.  To trouble the prince, I have no choice but to take out the sweet potatoes given by the prince and sell them to collect some money to honor my superior."

    "That's it." Li Zhen nodded, thinking that she really ignored these two brothers, and immediately said: "In that case, I will give each of you five thousand catties of sweet potatoes, but you remember, rare things are more valuable, and thousands are more valuable.  Don¡¯t sell it all at once, just sell a hundred catties a day, so that you can get more property.¡±

    "As for your official positions, leave them to me, Thousand-Year GuardianThe general and prison guard generals are now vacant. I will inform your highness to let you two get these two positions.  "

    "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"

    Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi were overjoyed and thanked Li Zhen at the same time.

    The night is as dark as ink. In the pitch-black night, you can't see your fingers. The dark clouds cover the moonlight and starlight.

    Changsun Wuji¡¯s Mansion, in the secret room.

    Changsun Wuji was sitting on a chair, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, but his eyes were not on the book, but looked at his son Changsun Chong beside him.

    For this son, Changsun Wuji had high hopes. He believed that among his sons, Changsun Chong was the smartest and most capable, and the hope of the Changsun family also rested on him.

    Changsun Wuji looked at his son and asked calmly: "Is the matter done?"

    "Father, the man has been found. I have ordered the servant to be killed, leaving only Mr. Li, who is now secretly imprisoned by me."

    "Very good, Ms. Li is a key figure. As long as she can bite out the prince, then we can impeach the prince on the grounds of misconduct."

    "That's true. It's just that Mrs. Li has a very tough mouth. She probably fears that if she bites out the prince and fails to bring him down, she will be the one who dies."

    "Well, we can use some extraordinary means. In addition, we can also ask Li to recruit. Li framed Zhang Liang for treason just to stay with the prince. As long as this is confirmed, Li Zhen will never be able to stand up again.  day." Changsun Wuji said in a dark voice.

    "It's not easy for Zhang Liang to rebel. Besides, I'm afraid this is not possible." Changsun Chong said.

    "It doesn't matter whether Li Zhen framed Zhang Liang or not. It depends on whether we can prove it. If the evidence is sufficient, then Li Zhen will not be able to argue, and nothing will become something."

    "That's it, kid, I understand." Changsun Chong suddenly realized.

    "Father, don't worry, tonight, I will definitely make Li speak!"

    In the dark cell, Ms. Li was tied to a cross piece of wood, her head lowered and she didn't speak.

    Since her husband was killed and she was arrested, Ms. Li has not said a word.

    In fact, Li received a reward from Li Zhen and gave her a strong man. Li was very satisfied, but she did not expect that one day, a group of masked men came and not only killed Li's husband, but also  Brought her here.

    Ms. Li was so disheartened that she thought she might as well just die, but she couldn't make up her mind if she really wanted to die.

    It was at this moment that a thin young man came to her (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
