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

Chapter 883 Dandy Boy
"It turns out it's the Chen family in the capital. I'm disrespectful!" Li Kuo said with a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Chen has to do with coming to Fengyang?"

"I heard that your land is a treasure, with green mountains, green waters, and beautiful scenery, so I came to invest in real estate. I want to start a career with Mr. Li." Li Xing spread his hands and smiled broadly.

"You've come just in time! You and I are going to have a good chat over wine today, and we need to cultivate our relationship as early as possible!" Li Kuo laughed heartily and beckoned for the wine and delicacies to be served.

Li Xing was not polite and immediately ordered his entourage to open the troupe and invited a group of female artists dressed in coquettish costumes to add to the fun.

The two families sat on the floor and had a hearty drink.

Li Kuo was usually very happy about his achievements. Seeing Li Xing's heroic spirit, he immediately became happy.

The two of them had drank several jars of wine while chatting and laughing. Li Kuo didn't drink well and was already a little drunk.

Li Xing took the opportunity to say:

"Brother Kuo, does he know the most popular investment direction in Fengyang? I hope Brother Kuo can enlighten me so that a foreigner like me can get familiar with the local area as soon as possible."

"Haha, you have found the right person!" Li Kuo burped, patted Li Xing's shoulder and said, "I know everything here, and you have a good friend like me to ensure your prosperity! "

"That's great!" Li Xing clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Brother Laokuo has given me some advice, I'd be very grateful!"

"What's the point!" Li Kuo waved his hand and said, "We are all brothers, what's there to hide? Just ask, keeping it will open your eyes!"

Li Xing nodded secretly. This Li Kuo was indeed an outspoken person. If he drank a little bit, he could get some inside information.

"I heard that your Li family has some disputes with the Chu Prefect?" Li Xing asked casually, pretending to be: "I don't know the details, but I hope Brother Kuo will make it clear."

"That bitch officer Chu Ze!" Li Kuo's expression changed, and he slammed his fist on the table and said, "It's all his fault for occupying our Li family's land to build that damn railway. I'm so angry that I can't sleep at night!"

"No wonder the Li family turned against him!" Li Xing also pretended to be sympathetic and said: "He doesn't understand the rules so much. I don't think the Li family can tolerate this kind of behavior."

"Humph, is he the only one who deserves to be in trouble with my family?" Li Kuo drank another cup and said angrily: "I have already made arrangements secretly to find someone to deal with him! Wait and see, we will see if he is still arrogant! "

Li Xing secretly noted that the Li family really had a grudge against Chu Ze and had secretly planned revenge.

This is a huge threat and must be paid special attention to.

However, after all, Li Kuo drank too much and spoke fluently, so he couldn't completely believe his drunken words.

"Okay, Brother Kuo, let's not mention him today." Li Xing persuaded with a smile: "Let's have a good talk and have a drink! I'll be counting on you for future cooperation."

"Haha, okay, okay!" Li Kuo seemed to have woken up and stopped this dangerous topic: "We will cooperate well in the future and make a fortune! Let's drink happily today!"

In order to further gain Li Kuo's trust, Li Xing continued to invite him to eat, drink and have fun.

The two had fun every day, and their relationship became closer.

On this day, the two of them were drinking tea and admiring the moon on the flower floor.

Li Kuo was very drunk, and the secrets in his mouth gradually leaked out.

"The old man has made arrangements. On the eighteenth day of next month, we must give that Chu Ze a showdown!" Li Kuo put his arm around Li Xing's shoulders, his voice a little erratic due to drunkenness.

"Oh? How will we deal with him then?" Li Xing asked pretending to be casual.

"We have bribed the railway workers and are preparing to destroy the railway tracks on that day next month!" Li Kuo lowered his voice and said, "By then Chu Ze's plan will be over!"

Li Xing secretly remembered this information without any surprise on his face. He continued to drink and persuade Li Kuo, "Okay! It's time for Chu Ze to clean up. I wish the old man a sure chance of victory!"

The two drank heavily until Li Kuo, with his cheeks flushed and smell of alcohol all over his body, finally passed out drunk on the table.

Li Xing then quietly left in his cloak and rushed to the meeting place with Zhao Si. The meeting place was located in a secluded cabin outside the city. It was the coded location they had agreed upon in advance.

Li Xing came to the hut and reported the news with a special knock on the door. A response came quickly from the door, and then a gap was opened.

Li Xing ducked in and saw that Zhao Si had been waiting for a long time.

"I've got important information. The Li family is planning to destroy the railway tracks on the eighteenth day of next month!" Li Xing reported in a low voice in the dark.

"I also heard some rumors here. They seem to be targeting key points on the railway tracks." Zhao Si also said in a voice that only two people could hear.

The two of them looked at each other and saw confirmation in each other's eyes - the Li family's conspiracy was about to be implemented!

"It seems that we must report back to the prince as soon as possible and let the prince be more vigilant." Li Xing clenched his fists.

"You are right. I think the prince is likely to mobilize troops for defense." Zhao Si nodded.

So the two ended the meeting and rushed back to report the news to Chu Ze.

"Prince Magistrate, the Li family has already taken action!" The two said and reported everything they saw and heard.

After hearing this, Chu Ze fell into deep thought. He pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and said, "It seems that we must make arrangements in advance to deal with it."

"Zhao Si, you go back to the construction site immediately and keep an eye on every move of those suspicious people. Notify me if there is any movement." Chu Ze ordered.

"Li Xing, you continue to trick Li Kuo and try to obtain their detailed plans. We must fully understand their actions."

"Yes!" The two of them accepted the order and quickly disappeared like a bird throwing itself into the forest to execute the order.

Li Xing wanted to get more inside information from Li Kuo, but Li Kuo was obviously not the person Mr. Li trusted most, and his knowledge was limited.

In desperation, Li Xing could only continue to talk patiently.

Just one day before the end of the month, Li Xing finally got some news from the drunk Li Kuo - the housekeeper of the Li family took dozens of servants and hurried towards the railway construction site in the east of the city.

Li Xing immediately became alert.

He pretended to be unwell and told Li Kuo that he was a little dizzy and might need to rest.

Li Kuo was drunk and didn't think much and asked him to rest.

Li Xing left the flower building quietly and rushed towards the east of the city without hesitation.

He must personally find out why the Li family members suddenly appeared there.

Soon, Li Xing was hiding in the woods to the east of the city.

He held his breath and listened carefully.

I saw the housekeeper of the Li family leading the servants to inspect a haystack in the forest.

"Look carefully, this is where the old man ordered us to set fire tomorrow." The housekeeper put his hands behind his back and walked slowly around the haystack.

Several servants followed behind, looking at the direction of the haystack intently.

"Set fire?" A younger servant asked in confusion: "Why did the old man set fire to the forest on this day at the end of the month?"
