"Everyone is relieved. Judge Liu, you can place the blacksmith here, but our imperial village has other things, so we can't place too many. If there are only these people behind you, you can place them!" Li Zhang finally spoke out and said.

"You are..." When Judge Liu saw a young man like Li Zhang coming forward, he seemed to have a higher tone than Hu Yan's position of keeping his trustworthy position, which made him a little confused.

"I am the companion to your Majesty, and I am now in charge of this imperial village." Li Zhang said with a smile and said.

Judge Liu was also shocked when he heard that Li Zhang was actually Zhao Zhen’s companion. Although his companion was not of grade, he was a person around the emperor. Moreover, those who could be the companion to the emperor must be deeply trusted by the royal family. Such a person was not something he could offend. Therefore, he immediately said very politely: "It turned out to be Li Baodu. I just rude!"

"Mr. Liu, don't be polite. Do you have only so many people in total? Are there any requirements for placement here?" Li Zhang smiled again.

"There are 321 craftsmen who were placed in this place, all behind me. They will definitely bring some charcoal and iron materials to create some utensils needed for the imperial tombs. So we need to build a workshop in a place. You don't have to worry about eating, you just need to provide daily water." Judge Liu immediately introduced, and he did not dare to make too many requests to Li Zhang.

"No problem, the imperial village is full of farmland, which is not convenient to accommodate too many people. However, there is a wasteland in the west of the imperial city, which is enough for you to build a workshop. As for water use, I can organize people to deliver it to you." Li Zhang nodded immediately when he heard this, and it was nothing more than a place and necessary water use, and it was not burdened with the village.

"That's great, thank you for reading!" Judge Liu saw Li Zhang agreeing. Although it was not in the imperial village, it was almost the same, and as long as there was water, it was enough. After all, it also required a lot of water to build iron tools.

Seeing that Li Zhang agreed to arrange these blacksmiths, Hu Yan Shouxin didn't say anything else. At that moment, Li Zhang personally brought Judge Liu to the wasteland next to him. In fact, this wasteland was right next to the gate of the imperial village, covered with low shrubs and grass. After the craftsmen came, they immediately found tools to clean up the place. Li Zhang also asked Hu Yan Shouxin to ask someone to help, which made Judge Liu very grateful to Li Zhang.

The materials for the workshop were all on the ox cart behind. In a short while, the shed for ironwork was built. The stove, bellows and other tools on the car were also removed and moved into the shed. It was getting late now, and Li Zhang also sent someone to bring drinking water and vegetables. The food was brought by them. They set up a big pot to boil water and cook. Li Zhang then said goodbye with Hu Yan Shouxin and others. Judge Liu originally wanted to keep Li Zhang for dinner, but they were too simple here and were worried that Li Zhang would not be used to eating, so he finally sent Li Zhang away in person.

In the next few days, as long as Li Zhang was fine, he would come to the blacksmith workshop next to him for a walk, and occasionally he would give him some vegetables and meat, which made Judge Liu's favorable impression of him. The blacksmiths in the workshop also recognized him as a generous boy. Every time he came to the workshop, many people also scrambled to say hello.

As he gradually got familiar with each other, Li Zhang also heard more news from Judge Liu that these blacksmiths were mainly responsible for the construction of various metal utensils needed for the imperial tomb. According to Judge Liu, if the imperial tomb is completed in the future, this blacksmith will also withdraw half of its men and keep it, because the maintenance of the imperial tomb will also require a large number of men, and craftsmen from all walks of life will also leave some.

But at this moment, news came from the capital again, and Kingsoft's verdict finally came down. The place where the exile was in the north was not in the south, which made him feel relieved. However, even in the north, it was not a good place, but in Qingzhou in the north, which was the place where the border with the Dangxiang people. Although Dangxiang nominally relied on the Song Dynasty, there were still conflicts from time to time, and Qingzhou was not peaceful.

When Li Zhang rushed home, Mrs. Jin and Jin Xiaomei and her daughter also immediately thanked him. Although Jinshan was still exiled, she at least saved her life, and as long as Jinshan survived five years in Gyeongju, she could come back.

"When will Jinshan leave the capital?" Li Zhang asked immediately after a few words of politeness.

"The verdict said that he would leave Beijing immediately. I guess he would leave early tomorrow morning. My younger sister and I plan to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to guard it, and prepare some food to see my son off." Mrs. Jin replied immediately. After Jinshan's verdict was concluded, Lu Wu would also often help inquire about some information.

"I still have time today. I'll go and ask for the exact news. Let's see off for Kingsoft tomorrow morning!" Li Zhang stood up immediately and said. He didn't expect that time would be so hurrying. If he came one day late, he would probably not be able to see off for Kingsoft.

At this moment, Li Zhang did not look for Lu Wu, but went to Kaifeng Prefecture prison and found the prison last time. After spending some money, he could easily find out the exact time when Kingsoft left Beijing tomorrow. Then he immediately went home and prepared some money, mainly to bribe the yamen runners who were escorted, so that they would not make things difficult for Kingsoft on the road. There was no way. This is the case in this era. Those yamen runners had low incomes. If they had no extra money, they would have been starved to death.

The next morning, Li Zhang took the Jin family and his daughter to leave the house together, and then walked out of Liangmen along Yonglu Street. Liangmen is the west gate of Tokyo City. Every time Li Zhang went to the imperial village, he had to pass here. In addition, prisoners exiled to the north usually leave the city from here and then turn north.

Tokyo City has been around for a long time, and even outside the city gate is very lively. In fact, there are so many people coming in and out here every day, so it has attracted many vendors to do business. There are more than a dozen teahouses for people to rest, and there are also big and small wine shops. Although the grade is not high, it is better because there are many pedestrians coming and going, so the business is also quite good.

Li Zhang ordered two tables of wine and food in a relatively large wine shop. After waiting for a while, a group of prisoners walked out of the city gate, with two yamen runners escorting him. Jinshan's fat figure was also very conspicuous among the prisoners. Li Zhang also came forward to stop the other party and explained his purpose, and prepared a banquet for the yamen runners, hoping that they would wait for a while.

In fact, not only Li Zhang saw him off by himself, but some other prisoners came to see him off, but they were not as generous as Li Zhang. Not only did they stuff money but also ordered the best banquet. So several yamen runners were very happy. They collected the money and untied the rope of Jinshan, and then went inside to drink. As for the other prisoners, they were not treated so well, and they could only wait outside. However, Li Zhang was worried that other prisoners would bully Jinshan on the road, so he asked the restaurant to prepare some food to give to the prisoners, and then took Jinshan inside to see Mrs. Jin.

"Mom!" When Jin Shan entered and saw Mrs. Jin, his knees softened and fell to the ground, and tears suddenly surged.

"My son suffers!" Mrs. Jin saw Jin Shan and hugged him. Although it was only a few days, Jin Shan did lose a lot. After all, no matter how Li Zhang asked someone to take care of Jin Shan, the food in the prison cell could not be compared with outside. In addition, Jin Shan probably didn't feel like eating, so she looked like she had lost a few times and the flesh on her face was loose.

At this time, the sister Jin rushed over, and the family of three hugged their heads and cried bitterly. After a while, she stopped crying under Li Zhang's persuasion. Then Li Zhang asked someone to bring the wine and food. He accompanied Jinshan's family to eat and chat. At this time, Mrs. Jin also took out the things she prepared. In addition to some clothes and dry food, there was also some money, but not much. It was not that Li Zhang was stingy, but that Jinshan was a prisoner. Taking too much money on the road would only cause trouble, so it would be better to wait until he arrived at the place and send someone to give him more money to handle it.

However, although there is not much money on the surface, in fact, in the clothes given to Jinshan by Mrs. Jin, there were several pieces of clothes with a few gold leaves sewn. In fact, the gold was smashed into thin slices. If you don’t search carefully, you can’t find it. This is money for Jinshan to save your life. After all, no one knows what will happen on the road. Leaving some money may save your life at critical moments.

Mrs. Jin pulled Jin Shan and kept reminding him, just to ask him to pay attention to safety on the road and take good care of himself. Jin Xiaomei kept picking up food for Jin Shan’s bowl. After half an hour, the yamen runners finished eating, Jin Shan ate some randomly, and then they were about to get up to go.

"Li Zhang, my mother and my little sister will entrust you with it!" When he left, Jinshan bowed his hand to Li Zhang again and said.

"Don't worry, I'm here, I will never let my younger sisters suffer a grievance!" Li Zhang said sadly at this time. I don't know when I will see you again when Kingsoft leaves.

Jinshan also trusted Li Zhang very much, nodded immediately, and then instructed Jin Xiaomei to take good care of her mother. Then he turned around and left resolutely, and the yamen runners tied the rope to his hands again.

Speaking of which, escorting prisoners is not like those on TV. If these things are worn on them, they may not be able to get exhausted to death if they go far. Therefore, ordinary prisoners only need to tie them with ropes. If a prisoner escapes in the middle, it will be a death sentence. Even if he is not caught, he will only be able to live incognito for the rest of his life.

After seeing off Jinshan, Li Zhang stayed at home for one more day, mainly chatting with Mrs. Jin and her daughter, so as not to be too sad. Fortunately, Mrs. Jin was very open-minded. However, Jin Xiaomei kept crying and even clamored to go to Qingzhou to accompany Jinshan. In the end, Mrs. Jin and Li Zhang finally persuaded her.

Li Zhang could not stay in Tokyo for a long time, otherwise Liu E would scold him again, so he quickly left the capital again. However, when he left, Li Zhang brought a big box. Because the things in the box were too important, he specially asked the wild dog to accompany him to the imperial village.
