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

Chapter 885 Is it on fire?

The servants were all desperate and sweating profusely. The housekeeper was filled with regret and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But facing the wolves and tigers of the government officials, they could only abandon their weapons and surrender.

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Prince Chu, you are so insidious! You actually used such despicable means to plot against us!"

Zhao Si smiled coldly and said: "Insidious? Despicable? I think you, the Li family, are the despicable and shameless ones. You actually want to set fire to the forest!"
"Hmph, you're cruel!" The housekeeper glared at Zhao Si with hatred.

At the same time, Li Xing also brought people to the railway construction site and spread rumors of "spreading forest fires".

"Fight the fire! The woods are on fire!" Li Xing shouted.

The workers were shocked when they heard the news. They ran over and asked, "There was a fire? Where is the fire?"

"There's a fire in the woods to the east, and I just saw the flames shooting into the sky!" Li Xing tried his best to act, pointing to the woods to the east, and shouted loudly: "The prince has already led people to put out the fire, let all of us go over and help. Extinguishing!"

"Oh my God! We have to put out the fire quickly!"

"The forest to the east was cut down by us sharpening our knives. Wouldn't it be in vain if we burned it?"

The workers panicked when they heard this, and rushed to the east to prepare to put out the fire.

Li Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to urge loudly: "Go and put out the fire! This fire can't burn!"

But he thought in his heart: "The stupid workers were easily fooled. They didn't suspect any of the lies I made up. How naive!"

When dozens of spies among the workers saw this scene, they all immediately got up to "put out the fire" and secretly drank, thinking that they finally had a chance to destroy the railway tracks.

"Workers, let's go put out the fire quickly!" a spy pretended to be panicked and urged.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and put out the fire!" Another spy also said, thinking to himself: "When these idiots run to put out the fire, I can destroy the railway tracks!"

These spies were scattered among the crowd. Some shouted, "Everyone, go put out the fire!", while others pretended to go to notify the government.

However, they didn't know that Li Xing had already secretly set up a dragnet at the construction site to monitor their every move.

Soon, when all the ordinary workers ran to "put out the fire," the spies showed stern expressions, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then quickly took out the sabotage tools from their hiding places and sneaked to the railway track.

"Finally, we have the opportunity!" A spy said excitedly: "This time we must smash the railway tracks and complete the master's mission!"

"Yes, such a good opportunity is rare!" Another spy also said: "When the master finds out, he will definitely reward us heavily!"

"Hurry up and smash this damn railway track!" The spies were extremely excited and raised their sledgehammers to smash it down.

At this moment, dozens of government officials suddenly rushed out from all directions, instantly surrounding them.

"W-what's going on?!"

"Why are there officers and soldiers?!"

"You guys still want to destroy the railway tracks?" Li Xing walked out of the crowd and sneered: "Your conspiracy ends here today!"

The spies' expressions changed drastically, and they were all stunned, and the tools in their hands fell to the ground with a "clack".

"It's over, it's over, I've fallen into a trap!" A spy moaned desperately.

"We are all doomed!" Another spy shivered, his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.

Li Xing nodded with satisfaction. Another conspiracy was exposed and shattered. The prince's wisdom was indeed unfathomable!
At this time, the workers who rushed to "put out the fire" gradually discovered that there was no fire in the forest area to the east.

"Where is the fire? There is obviously no fire in the east!" "Is it false news?"

The workers looked at each other, confused.

At this time, a cry came from a distance: "Everyone come back! Lin Huo is fake news!"

It turned out that Li Xing sent people to recall these confused workers.

"What, fake news?" The workers hurried back to the construction site and saw that the spies had been captured.

"It turns out that the spies of the Li Mansion wanted to take advantage of the chaos to destroy the railway tracks!"

The captured servants of the Li family and the housekeeper Li Tie were all dejected and their faces were as pale as paper. They were tied up by the yamen servants and brought back to the yamen.

Li Tie was still unwilling and shouted loudly: "Chu Ze, you bastard, you bully men and women, abuse public power for personal revenge, and you dare to detain people from my Li family for no reason! I tell you, this is a blatant violation of the law. Perverting the law!"

Seeing that he was unrepentant, the government officials wanted to cut out his tongue immediately.

Zhao Si shouted in a deep voice: "Li Tie, do you still dare to quibble? Prince Chuze has evidence. According to what we have seen and heard, your Li family is clearly plotting to set fire to the forest and destroy the railway tracks! How dare you say that you are innocent?" ?”

Li Tie's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Nonsense! You framed Li Mansion, and I tell you, Chu Ze will definitely pay the price for it!"

"What an impenitent scourge!" Li Xing also said angrily: "He is still quibbling. Put all these gangsters in jail. Let's see how long he can quibble!"

The government officials obeyed the order, tied up Li Tie and the servants one by one, and threw them into a cold and damp prison.

After a while, Chu Ze came to the cell in person and glanced at the prisoners coldly.

"You all know what crime you have committed, how long are you going to keep trying to quibble?" Chu Ze's voice was light, but it made people feel extremely cold.

Li Tie still refused to give in and shouted loudly: "Chu Ze, you are a corrupt official and do evil things. Our Li family is clean and upright, how can we do anything illegal and indisciplined? You have clearly wronged us!"

"Ha!" Chu Ze sneered and said, "I already have ironclad evidence of your conspiracy in my hands. Do you think I will wrongly accuse a good person? If you continue to quibble, believe it or not, I will execute you directly!"

Li Tie's face turned pale and he finally did not dare to speak anymore.

Chu Ze took out various evidences that Li Xing had collected before, and listed the conspiracy crimes of Li Mansion preparing to set fire and destroy the railway tracks one by one.

"You...where did you get these things?" Li Tie asked tremblingly, his face as pale as paper.

"Evidence collected through legal means, what else do you want to defend?" Chu Ze sneered.

Li Tie was speechless and finally did not dare to quibble any more.

"Okay, shut up, answer the officer's interrogation carefully, and collect all the evidence of your crimes one by one!" Chu Ze ordered in a deep voice.

So the officials began to interrogate the prisoners one by one.

Everyone had completely lost their fighting spirit and soon revealed all the Li Mansion's conspiracy.

"Woo hoo... The old man asked us to set fire to the forest late at night and create chaos..."

"We were ordered to destroy the tracks while fighting the fire... Ouch!"

All the prisoners cried and confessed all the crimes committed by the Li family.
