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

Chapter 884 Insight into the conspiracy
"Idiot, what do you know!" An old servant scolded him sternly: "This is obviously the old man giving Prince Chu a warning to stop him from doing anything rash!"

"That's right, Prince Chu has been getting carried away recently, and setting the fire this time is just to teach him a lesson!" Another middle-aged servant also agreed.

"You are right!" The young servant nodded quickly and said, "I will remember this place clearly and I will set the fire on time tomorrow!"

The butler nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to lead the servants to check out other parts of the woods.

Li Xing noticed that there were a lot of dry firewood, straw, and other flammable materials scattered in the forest.

Once it catches fire, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Remember, after dark you bring torches and set fires in these places at the same time." The housekeeper pointed out several key locations one by one.

"Yes!" the servants said in unison.

"After setting the fire, retreat quickly without leaving any traces." The housekeeper warned.

The servants nodded heavily again with solemn expressions, as if they had already pictured the scene of fire and sea in their hearts.

Li Xing quickly rushed to a hidden hut outside the city and met Zhao Si.

"Zhao Si, do you have any new discoveries over there?" Li Xing asked eagerly.

"I heard that a group of suspicious workers are talking about destroying the railway next month." Zhao Si said in a deep voice: "What did you learn over there?"

"I also found out that Li Mansion and the others are planning to set fire to the forest, but the time should be set at the end of the month, that is, tomorrow." Li Xing frowned.

The two looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

"We must report back to Chu Ze immediately." Li Xing said.

"That's what we have in mind. Let's report it to the prince immediately." Zhao Si also agreed.

The two quickly set off on their way home.

Li Xing was nervous and said: "The Li family has many conspiracies this time, and the prince will definitely have a countermeasure. I just hope that we will report it soon so that nothing goes wrong!"

The two people quickly came to Chu Ze, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the Li family has arranged to set fire to the forest at the end of the month!"

Chu Zejing listened to the two men describing what they saw and heard, and then nodded and said: "I see, what you said makes sense. It seems that the Li family intends to use fire to distract attention and create chaos."

Li Xing and Zhao Si both nodded heavily.

Li Xing thought to himself: "The prince is indeed alert and has accurately deduced the Li family's purpose."

"Set fire to the forest will inevitably draw away the construction site workers and guards to put out the fire." Chu Ze continued to analyze: "In this way, the railway construction site will be wide open, allowing their traitors to destroy the rails!"

"Your Majesty's guess is absolutely correct!" Li Xing exclaimed: "The Prince saw through the Li family's conspiracy, what a brilliant plan!"

"Yes, this must be the Li family's trick!" Zhao Si also suddenly realized.

The three of them looked at each other and understood the Li Mansion's conspiracy.

Chu Ze thought about it again and again, and decided to use his plan to ambush a large number of soldiers in the woods, waiting for an opportunity to catch all the Li family gangsters.

"Everyone, I decided to use a trick to set up an ambush and kill the Li family in one fell swoop!" Chu Ze clearly announced in front of Li Xing and Zhao Si.

Later, Chu Ze told the two of them his plan. He first sent people to pretend to be workers at the construction site and secretly monitored the spies planted by the Li family here.

At the same time, Chu Ze also ordered that all hay, branches and other flammable objects in the woods be watered with water.

At the end of the month, even if the Li family entered the woods, they could not set the woods on fire.

In this way, the arson plan they prepared will completely fail, so that we will get both the loot and the loot.

Then we pretended to create chaos, spread false news to the construction site, saying that the trees were on fire, and asked the workers at the construction site to come out to help put out the fire. When the spies thought they had an opportunity to destroy the railway tracks, we would catch them all. This kind of arrangement can be said to be a clever plan, and everyone is ready to work!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Xing and Zhao Si responded in unison.

Li Xing thought to himself: "Your Majesty made a decisive decision, and he must have made careful arrangements. As long as we follow your Majesty, we will definitely be able to flex our muscles!"

"You two continue to monitor the movements of the railway construction site and make sure there are no omissions." Chu Ze ordered.

"Yes! We will live up to our mission!" The two stood at attention and saluted.

Therefore, Chu Ze quietly mobilized a group of brave government officials and ordered them to hide in various key locations in the forest and wait for the opportunity.

After receiving the order, these people all showed excited expressions.

Late at night the next day, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion quietly led a dozen servants to the edge of the forest.

"Have you remembered the locations? We will set fire to these places at the same time later." The housekeeper whispered.

The servants all nodded heavily and couldn't wait to light the torches in their hands.

One of the young servants opened his mouth wide and yawned loudly, and said angrily: "Oh, this work is too hard. I come here to set fire in the forest at night. I am so sleepy!"

An old servant next to him immediately glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense! Who dares to neglect the important things that the master has personally ordered?! Try talking again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth off!"

The young servant was startled, covered his mouth and nodded in agreement, sweating profusely.

The housekeeper snorted and ignored the young servant's complaints. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and light them all in the positions I just mentioned!"

The servants immediately gathered around the piles of haystacks, with expressions of excitement and cruelty on their faces.

"Come here, set fire!" Following the butler's order, the servants all lit the torches and threw them into the haystack.

"Successful!" "The master is wise!" The servants all cheered as they looked at the blazing fire.

However, what surprised everyone was that the sparks went out in a flash, without even a blaze on the haystack!
"What's going on?!" "Why can't the fire be lit?!"

The servants were all shocked. They picked up torches and tried repeatedly, but they could not light the haystack.

"What's going on?!" The butler's face instantly turned pale.

With trembling hands, he took out a torch from his arms and lit it himself, but the spark went out with a "pop".

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

An old servant fearfully stepped forward to check carefully, only to find that the haystack had been soaked by water in advance.

"No, I fell into a trap!" Old servant Ding blurted out, his voice trembling.

At this moment, he said: "Drink!" A command like a thunderbolt came from the forest.

I saw Zhao Si leading more than 20 government officials from all directions, and immediately surrounded the Li family.

"Everyone put down their weapons! Anyone who acts rashly will be shot to death!" Zhao Si waved his hand, and the government officials were heavily guarded with swords and guns.

Everyone in the Li Mansion was ashen-faced, and then they realized that they had fallen into Chu Ze's trap.

"It's over, it's all over now!"

"Master is going to kill us!"
