"That's natural! When the pesticide issue becomes a big issue, will the court still be in chaos? Then we can take advantage of the situation and coordinate internally and externally..."

Another cold voice answered, and Zhao Si pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"When the time comes, when our troops come to the city, who else can stop us?" Zhang Hongru said proudly: "Then, let the world know who is the real one..."

"Shut up!" The cold voice interrupted sternly: "Don't make this matter public! If anyone hears it, your life and mine will be in danger!"

Zhao Si was so excited that he trembled all over and quickly held his breath for fear of being discovered.

"Yes, yes, I know my mistake." Zhang Hongru said with a smile: "I will give the order now, and I must keep it strictly confidential and not let any news leak out."

"It's best this way!" The voice snorted coldly: "I have finally managed to set up this game, but I can't let it fall short!"

"This King"? !

Zhao Si's heart was beating wildly, and he could hardly suppress his exclamation.

"I am the king? Is he a king with a different surname from the Northern Yuan Dynasty? But from his accent, he is clearly a Han from my dynasty..."

He secretly speculated, but did not dare to act rashly.

"If you show up rashly, you may never come back. It's better to stay calm first and continue to inquire for information."

Zhao Si's mind was spinning and he quickly made a decision.

He quietly exited the room, came to the courtyard, summoned several scouts and ordered:

"You guys, keep an eye on me, and be sure to find out their identities!"

"Also, if you find any suspicious signs, report it to me immediately, without making any mistakes!"

Zhao Si's tone was solemn, obviously he had encountered a very difficult problem.

"No!" The scouts accepted the order and then disappeared into the darkness.

Zhao Si took advantage of the cover of night and drove straight to the county government office.

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

Zhao Si broke into the Yamen, not even caring about the etiquette of reporting.

"Why are you so panicked?" Chu Ze raised his head from the document and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates were in the Zhang Mansion and heard that a man who claimed to be 'my king' was conspiring with Zhang Hongru..."

In a few words, Zhao Si recounted the situation just now.

"The former prince?" Chu Ze's face changed slightly: "Can you hear the accent?"

"My subordinates heard his words as if I were speaking to Han people." Zhao Si reported back.

"Han? Could it be a king with a different surname from the previous dynasty?"

Chu Ze's heart trembled, and he had a vague foreboding feeling.

He paced in the hall, silent.

"There must be a conspiracy between the Zhang family and the previous dynasty..."

Chu Ze secretly speculated and had a lot of thoughts.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with it now?" Zhao Si asked for instructions.

"Oh, this is a tricky matter..." Chu Ze sighed.

"If it is true as you said, the former prince is hiding here, I am afraid he has been prepared for it.

I'm afraid the troops we brought to the county government are not enough to compete. "

"Then... shouldn't we just sit back and wait for death?" Zhao Si asked nervously.

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and then told Zhao Si:
"Immediately select a few capable scouts and secretly send them to nearby villages and towns to investigate.

Check to see if there are any suspicious people gathering or hidden troops. "

Zhao Si took the order and said: "My subordinates will do it now!"

After that, he cupped his fists and left quickly.

Chu Ze warned again: "By the way, you must give the order. You must be careful and don't alert the snake! The people in the Zhang family are very cunning. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, they will be alert."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand!" Zhao Si's voice came from outside the door.

Chu Ze sat back in front of the case, frowning and lost in thought.

"Zhang Hongru, you old fox really has no good intentions!

How dare you collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty and intend to rebel, it is a heinous crime! "

He was filled with rage and wished he could immediately lead his troops to capture the traitors.

But then I thought about it and shook my head secretly.

"No, it's too early to act rashly now. If you're not careful, you might alert the enemy.

We have to wait for Li Xing's reinforcements to arrive before we can be sure of success."

Chu Ze was calculating, with a sneer on his lips.

"Zhang Hongru, I want to see what other tricks you can do!
Don't blame me for being rude this time, I will definitely catch all of you rebels! "

On the other side, inside Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Hongru, who had just finished conspiring with the former prince, was in the study, pacing back and forth irritably.

"It's been so many days, why haven't there been any news?
Those losers must have died on the way, right? "

He slammed the table and cursed fiercely: "Idiot! If you can't do anything well, what's the use of raising them?!"

The housekeeper on the side knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowing.

"Master, please calm down! I will send someone to inquire immediately and find out their whereabouts as soon as possible!"

"Hmph! You'd better give me a satisfactory answer!"

Zhang Hongru glared at the housekeeper fiercely.

"If there is no more news, your head will be in danger!"

"Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it now!"

The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled and retreated.

Zhang Hongru was furious in the study, cursing and cursing for a long time, and finally got discouraged and sat back down heavily on his chair.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart: "Has this action been noticed by that boy Chu Ze?
Could it be that those idiots had their whereabouts exposed and were hunted down in one fell swoop? "

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's over, it's over, if this operation fails, how should I explain to the prince!
No, we have to find a way to remedy it quickly! "

He was wiping the sweat from his forehead while racking his brains to think of countermeasures.

"By the way, with the prince's support, why should we be afraid of Chu Ze?"

When Zhang Hongru was frowning, there was a commotion outside the door of the mansion.

He looked over and saw several servants dragging a housekeeper who was covered in bruises.

"You loser! What are you doing for everyone?!" Zhang Hongru rushed forward and grabbed the butler's collar.

"Master, have mercy on me! Didn't the little one finally escape..." the housekeeper begged.

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on? Where are the people? Why are there only a few of you left?" Zhang Hongru asked through gritted teeth.

The butler tremblingly recounted the story of his capture.

"What?! How dare you arrest people from my Zhang family?!" After hearing what Chu Ze and Zhao Si did, Zhang Hongru was so angry that he became furious.

"This is unreasonable! How dare a prince in name only be so presumptuous! This is simply too much!" Zhang Hongru slapped the table, furious.

"Come here! Go to the county government immediately and report the case. Tell me that the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion is missing. It must be the man named Chu who is behind it!"

"Also, send me a letter directly to the capital, and refer to Chu Ze's book, saying that he is derelict in his duties, perverts the law, and disregards human life! You must ask for an order to punish him!" Zhang Hongru ordered fiercely.

"This kid, I'm not done with you!" (End of chapter)
