As soon as the news of the death of the ginkgo tree in front of the Xiaoling Hall reached the palace, the emperor immediately sent the Ouchi guards to protect these ginkgo trees closely. These sword-wielding guards around the emperor are absolutely loyal to Zhu Di, and this is the first time that people are allowed to approach, so the scene is still the same as it was at the time of the crime.

Zhang Fu was asking over there, while Wang Xian and Wu Wei were carefully observing the ginkgo trees.

Wang Xian has not studied much in this area, but Wu Wei is an expert, he has been planting herbs with Dr. Wu since he was a child, and he knows very well about ginkgo trees with high medicinal value.

"The sudden death of a ginkgo tree that has been growing for more than ten years may be caused by pests, it may be burned by fertilizer, drought and flooding." Wu Wei was digging and digging beside a dead ginkgo tree, and said to Wang Xian in a low voice: "As for the man-made methods, there are more than a dozen ways to make these tree gods die without realizing it." ”

Wang Xian squatted aside and asked in a low voice, "Don't others know these methods?" ”

"There are more capable people in the court." Wu Wei pouted and said, "My lord, when they eat dry rice?" It's just pretending to be confused. ”

"You mean they don't know what they say?" Wang Xian asked.

"It's true that no one dares to meddle." Wu Wei said: "Otherwise, you can always say a Ding Mao." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tree roots that had just been taken out of the soil and said, "My lord, please see, the roots of the tree are black and rotten, which is obviously damaged by blisters, can the adults of the Ministry of Works not be able to see it?" To be clear is to know without saying anything! ”

"It hasn't rained much in the last month." Wang Xian thought about it.

"It doesn't rain much." Wu Wei nodded and said: "It's true that Ginkgo biloba is afraid of waterlogging, but it won't rot the roots when it's idle." ”

"This soil doesn't look so damp." Wang Xian twisted the soil on the ground.

"yes, dig down and see." Wu Wei picked up the shovel and began to dig the soil one by one.

"What are you doing here, stop!" Seeing this, the old eunuch hurried over to stop him.

"The tree is dead." Wang Xiandao.

"Now it looks like it's dead, but the ginkgo tree has a fake death, do you dare to say that it won't come back to life?" The old eunuch glared and said, "Besides, what kind of place is this?" What if you dare to break ground casually and disturb Emperor Taizu? ”

"Then how did you plant this tree?" Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said.

"Then ......" The old eunuch was speechless, and after a while, he paused: "If it doesn't work, even if you want to break ground, you have to tell the emperor about it!" ”

"No need to be clear, the emperor has already given me the right to act cheaply." Zhang Fu, who was originally interrogating the little eunuch, also came over at some point, stood behind the old eunuch with his hands and said: "As for Taizu, I also prayed when I visited him just now, and if his old man does not agree, he will lower the warning." After such a while, it is still so quiet, it can be seen that Emperor Taizu also wants to find out the truth. ”

Zhang Fu deserves to be a decisive commander, and when he cuts through the chaos with a quick knife, the old eunuch has nothing to say.

"Go, help dig together." Seeing that the old eunuch was silent, Zhang Fu ordered his subordinates to dig the tree pit with Wu Wei, and then dug down more than two feet deep, Wu Wei suddenly stopped moving, and the next moment, he threw the shovel in his hand and jumped into the pit. When he stood up, his hands stained with mud actually held a handful of mud, and said loudly:

"There's water down there! That's why the ginkgo tree died suddenly! ”

"How?" Zhang Fu hurriedly asked.

"Ginkgo trees are especially afraid of waterlogging, and when the roots are soaked in water for a long time, the roots will rot, and then the leaves will fall, and the whole tree will die!" Wu Weidao.

"Why is there water down there?" Zhang Fu frowned and said, "After so many summers, there has been nothing to do, how can it rot in this season?" ”

"I think it has something to do with the ground." Wang Xian, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke at this time: "I see that the walls of these tree pits should be all stone, and the water can't seep out, so they will accumulate in the tree holes." ”

"Dig it all up!" Zhang Fu immediately ordered, glanced at the old eunuch again, and said, "Don't just watch, send someone to help!" ”

"Yes." The old eunuch had no choice but to nod, and several strong little eunuchs joined in with shovels, and the digging speed increased sharply, and after a while, they dug into the hard stone wall, and sure enough, as Wang Xian said, these tree pits were all three-foot deep pits carved out of the stone, and then filled with soil and planted trees.

"Why didn't you do anything after so many years ago?" Zhang Fu asked in a deep voice.

"It's the season, as soon as the rainy season in Jiangnan comes, the weather is hot." "Trees need a lot of water in summer, so the water in the tree pit is just used to replenish the evaporated water. Saying that, he said in a deep voice: "But ten days ago, it was still warm and cold in early spring, and the ginkgo tree did not need much water at all. ”

"Makes sense." When Zhang Fu heard this, he looked at the old eunuch with a somewhat cold gaze and said, "Is there any rule on how the Divine Palace Supervisor should water these ginkgo trees that month?" ”

"Yes." The old eunuch wiped his sweat and said: "There are corresponding regulations for the corresponding months, for example, from May to September, if it rains no more than three inches in seven days, you need to water it once......"

"What about February?"

"In February, it doesn't rain more than an inch in 10 days before you need to water."

"How much water?"

"Half the amount."

"Have you ever had rotten roots before?" Zhang Fu asked.

"Nope." The old eunuch shook his head and said, "This amount has been explored for many years, and it has never gone wrong." He wiped his tears and said, "There should not be water under this tree pit, and it is this water that kills these trees." ”

"And where does all this water come from? Did it fall from the sky, or did it seep up from the ground? Zhang Fu asked with a dark face.

"Stone pits, can't seep into water." The old eunuch's tone was already weak.

"That's what fell from the sky!" Zhang Fu said in a deep voice: "It has hardly rained during this time, if it weren't for your overwatering, how could there be so much water in the tree pit?" ”

"This, we don't know what to do." The old eunuch wiped the beads of sweat rolling on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Dig a few more tree pits!" Zhang Fu ordered in a deep voice, and then instructed the commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard who followed him: "

Immediately send troops to surround the Divine Palace Supervisor and keep everyone under guard! ”

"This ......" the commander of the imperial mausoleum guard made Deng Shi's face look embarrassed, he only listened to the emperor's command, although Zhang Fu was a Qin cha, but it was still one layer worse.

"If you don't want to do it, put my people up!" Zhang Fu sank his face and said in a gloomy voice: "If you get away with one, you will be an accomplice!" When the time comes, the emperor will not blame his father for not reading the robe! ”

"......" The commander of the Imperial Mausoleum Guard thought of the thousands of brocade guards outside the dismount, and he was stunned, and the co-authors were here to arrest people. His horizontal arms can't reach his thighs, and he doesn't need to offend the British Duke for the sake of the Divine Palace Supervisor, not to mention this kind of case of copying the Nine Clans.

So the next moment, the commander clasped his hands into fists and said, "The last general will obey the orders of the grandfather!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and shouted: "Go and bring someone to surround the prison of the Divine Palace, and no one is allowed to let go!" ”

"Don't make a lot of noise." Zhang Fu frowned slightly and said, "Hugh is going to disturb Emperor Taizu!" ”

Everyone in the field of this sentence shuddered, although there was a clear sun on their heads, everyone felt that their bodies were gloomy, as if Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang really opened his eyes and looked at them faintly.

The old eunuch of the Divine Palace was so frightened that his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground and wept. The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard couldn't help but tremble his teeth, and he was slapped on the shoulder, so frightened that he almost screamed, hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, and slowly turned back with a frightened face, but saw that it was Wang Xian who was patting himself.

The commander glared at Wang Xian in annoyance, lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to scare people to death?" ”

"I called you twice, but you didn't respond." Wang Xian said with an innocent face: "I said Brother Zhang, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I, I'm not afraid...... "Commander Zhang's lips trembled slightly.

"I'm obviously scared." Wang Xian sneered: "It seems that you also have a part in this matter?" ”

"No, no, it's nothing to do with me!" Commander Zhang hurriedly denied it.

"Who does that have to do with that?" Wang Xian asked without letting him gasp.

"...... with him" Commander Zhang realized that he had been deceived as soon as he spoke, and hurriedly changed his words: "I don't know what to do!" ”

"Really?!" Wang Xian showed a suspicious look, he had been in Beizhen Fusi for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would be contaminated with this terrifying aura.

"King, Lord Wang, don't, don't deceive people too much!" Commander Zhang looked at Zhang Fu again, and saw that the grandfather with the same surname was also looking at him with a gloomy face, and he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and said to the side of his heart: "Although you are from Beizhen Fusi, this official is the commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard, and you don't want to move me without the emperor's order!" ”

"What are you excited about?!" Zhang Fu took a step forward and glanced at the other party coldly, the aura in front of the Xiaoling Hall suddenly changed, and Commander Zhang felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be coagulated, and his always strong body couldn't stop shaking.

"Stand firm!" Zhang Fu took another step forward, walked in front of Commander Zhang, reached out and grabbed his wrist and said, "You can also go with us!" ”

"Let go of our commander!" The personal soldiers commanded by Zhang stopped doing it, although the other party was the first soldier of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't watch him take people away.

Zhang Fu looked at Tiandao casually: "Do you want to rebel?" Saying that as soon as he put on his hands, Commander Zhang, who wanted to break free, snorted sullenly, covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and hurriedly hissed and ordered: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

The soldiers were unwilling to say: "My lord! ”

"I told you to stand down, are you deaf? Do you want to kill Lao Tzu? Commander Zhang roared.

"Be quiet!" Zhang Fu's brows furrowed.

"Yes......" Commander Zhang immediately softened and whispered to his subordinates: "You must act according to the orders of the grandfather of the country, don't worry about the official, the official is innocent, just explain it clearly to the grandfather." ”

"That's what it sounds like." Zhang Fu snorted and let go of his hand, Commander Zhang hurriedly moved his wrist sweating profusely, his face was cloudy and changeable, he was thinking about whether he wanted to escape, but when he thought of Zhang Fu's unfathomable martial arts, and then thought about his family in the capital, he had no idea at all......
