Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Don't take it lightly, keep a close eye on their movements." Chu Ze ordered.

"Yes!" Zhao Si and Li Xing responded in unison
After Chu Ze sent Zhao Si and Li Xing, they quickly started action.

Li Xing mingled among the restaurants in the city.

That day he met a local official. The two drank a few glasses of wine and chatted.

"Oh trouble, it's really hard to get along now." Li Xing sighed deliberately.

"You are right." The junior official also sighed: "Since the new official took office, we old officials have no good fruits to eat."

"Haha, I'm in love because of the new officer." Li Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, he doesn't understand the rules so much. He doesn't play by the rules and overthrows all our old officers."

"That's right." When the junior officer heard someone say this, he became energetic and complained: "He also engages in site selection and collective decision-making, it's just nonsense! He doesn't even listen to the opinions of our official, it's so unreasonable! "

Li Xing saw the right opportunity and pretended to be drunk and said: "Anyway...he won't be able to offend us sooner or later. There are so many of us senior officials, there will always be a way to deal with him."

"Well, actually Master Li and the others are already planning it, but they haven't told the public yet." The little official slipped his words and hurriedly kept silent.

Li Xing's eyes lit up, but he couldn't ask any more questions. He toasted him with a smile and left.

At the same time, Zhao Si sneaked into the railway construction site and pretended to be a worker from out of town.

He skillfully learned the tone and behavior of other workers, and soon became familiar with several veteran workers.

"Brothers, why do we always hear about people from the Li family coming to cause trouble at our construction site?" Zhao Si asked, pretending to be confused.

"Humph, Li Mansion is just a worm who bullies the weak and fears the strong!" An older worker said disdainfully: "His master insisted that our land originally belonged to his family, so he brought people to threaten him and wanted to stop work on the construction site. ”

"That's right, that old guy obviously didn't object at the beginning, so what does he want to do now that he's regretting it?" Another middle-aged worker also said: "If it hadn't been for His Majesty's wisdom, we would have been scared away. Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, this construction site can "Proceed as usual."

"So that's it. It seems that the Li family is having some crooked idea." Zhao Si nodded secretly in his heart and continued to talk: "The Li family is too deceiving and goes too far. His family is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"Well, the Li family is a wealthy local family and has colluded with the officials. They are used to being domineering. Naturally, they will feel unhappy when they meet a new official like the prince." The old worker said mysteriously.

"Okay, everyone should work hard. I think the prince will protect us." Zhao Si ended the topic with a smile.

Zhao Si secretly observed at the railway construction site and found that several workers often gathered together and whispered.

On this day, Zhao Si pretended to be passing by and suddenly heard them chanting words such as "next month" and "start destroying".

Zhao Si's heart moved, these people were extremely suspicious.

They must be spies sent by the Li Mansion, planning to wreak havoc on the half-month day.

Zhao Si secretly noted their appearances, and then looked for opportunities to follow them secretly.

The place where these people met was very secret, hidden deep in an abandoned utility room.

Zhao Si held his breath and listened carefully, pricking up his ears.

"According to Master Li's instructions, we must destroy the railway track erection project on the first half of the month." A spy said: "At that time, Master Li will file a complaint, saying that the quality of railway construction is uneven, and for the sake of the safety of the people, it is recommended to stop the work for inspection."

"Yes, as a result, the prince's plan is forced to be postponed. When we complete the task, Mr. Li will get whatever rewards he wants." Another one also agreed.

After hearing this, Zhao Si secretly noted it down, then quickly returned and reported the discovery to Chu Ze.

"I see, the Li Mansion actually planned sabotage so blatantly, so little attention is paid to me!" Chu Ze said solemnly after listening to Zhao Si's report.

"They are determined to obstruct the construction of the railway and become my enemy, Chu Ze." A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes. In order to collect further evidence of the Li family's conspiracy, Li Xing decided to sneak into the social gatherings of local dignitaries again.

This time, he disguised himself as a wealthy businessman from other places and met several down-and-out old officials.

"Hey, where is this young man from?" A slovenly old official looked at Li Xing curiously.

"My surname is Chen, and I live in the capital." Li Xing replied with a smile.

"It turns out he is the young master of the Chen family in the capital. I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" The old official immediately smiled charmingly and said, "I wonder what you are doing when you come to Fengyang this time?"

"I heard that Fengyang is a treasure place, so I came to see if I should invest in real estate." Li Xing said jokingly.

"You've come just in time!" The old official's eyes lit up and he said, "I happen to know a few wealthy local families, and I can introduce them to the young master!"

"Haha, great!" Li Xing laughed and said, "You will take me to a local banquet later to make more friends."

"Of course!" The old official was extremely excited.

He thought that if he could get some benefits from this "rich businessman", his life would be easier.

As a result, Li Xing quickly got involved in a grand banquet held by a local dignitary.

"Dear friends, let me introduce that this is the son of the Chen family in the capital. He intends to purchase property and develop in Fengyang." The old official introduced Li Xing to a table of officials with a smile.

"Oh? The Chen family in the capital?" Several people looked at Li Xing curiously.

"Yes, I am here just for investment." Li Xing responded with a smile: "I wonder if there are any good places in Fengyang?"

"If you have money to do things, there are many good places in our local area!" One person immediately said enthusiastically.

"As long as the young master opens his mouth, we will try our best to help him!" Another person also answered.

Li Xing smiled and said nothing, wanting to come up with some useful words first.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, does he know about our local Li family?" A person asked tentatively.

"Li family?" Li Xing pretended to be confused.

The Li family is one of the richest in Fengyang, and the old man of the Li family is even more wealthy locally. He holds great power and has a domineering style.

The Li family not only owns vast acres of fertile land and beautiful houses, but the family also runs a variety of businesses.

The Li family now has its own mercenaries and servants, and can be said to be a major force in Fengyang.

The Li family seems to be very dissatisfied with the railway construction carried out by Chu Ze this time, so it is not difficult to understand why they sent people to make trouble.

Under the introduction of local officials, Li Xing quickly met Li Kuo, the young master of the Li family.

Li Kuo is the fourth son of the Li family. He usually eats, drinks, has fun and has nothing to do.

He was wearing an embroidered wedding dress and a gold silk hat, looking like a dandy.

"Hey, who is this?" Li Kuo looked Li Xing up and down.

"It's just Chen, a descendant of the Chen family in Beijing." Li Xing replied with a smile: "I have admired Mr. Li's name for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet him today!" (End of this chapter)
