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

"Zhang's Mansion? Huh, you really came prepared!" Zhao Si sneered again and again and took back his saber.

He looked around and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, take him to the prison and keep him under strict guard. He is not allowed to leave! I will report this to the prince right now." "No!" The soldiers took the order. , dragged Qida away.

Zhao Si let out a long breath, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.

"I didn't expect that people in the Zhang family would also be thinking about the pesticide formula." He thought to himself: "This pesticide has just arrived in the disaster area, and someone is already thinking about it. I'm afraid there will be more excitement in the future." Thinking of this , Zhao Si’s face became solemn.

He walked quickly towards the county government office, preparing to write a letter to Chu Ze immediately to report the matter.

A few days later, the official in Fengyang said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" Chu Ze was studying something attentively.

After hearing the announcement, he said without raising his head: "Come in." A guard walked into the study quickly, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zhao, who went to deliver pesticides to the disaster area a few days ago, The four masters wrote that a suspicious person was found in the local area pretending to be the prince's confidant. "

"Oh?" After hearing this, Chu Ze finally raised his head and asked with interest: "Who is so bold as to dare to do tricks in the disaster area? Has anyone been caught?"

"My lord, I have been arrested." The guard replied respectfully: "The man claimed to be from the Zhang family. On the order of his lord, he pretended to be your crony, named Qi Da, with the intention of spying on the pesticide formula. Zhao Zhao Your Excellency has imprisoned him and is interrogating him strictly, awaiting your instructions."

"Zhang Mansion? Ha, that's interesting." Chu Ze sneered, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He stood up and walked slowly in the study, frowning as if in deep thought.

The guard knelt aside, not daring to express his anger, for fear of disturbing the prince's train of thought.

After a long time, Chu Ze stopped, turned around and asked, "Who is the master of the Zhang Mansion closely related to in the court? Have you heard of him?"

The guard thought for a moment and replied respectfully: "I don't know."

He thought to himself: "Could it be that the Zhang family was inquiring about the pesticide formula, and there were other forces behind it? But what are they trying to do? Do they want to seize the credit and take the pesticide as their own?"

For a time, various speculations swirled in Chu Ze's mind, making him more and more uneasy.

"Since the Zhang family dares to cause trouble in the disaster area, don't blame me for being rude!" Chu Ze snorted coldly and said with a cold light in his eyes: "It seems that I have to go to the disaster area myself!"

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask this question." Li Xing came to Chu Ze and asked cautiously: "Do you suspect that there is someone behind the Zhang family?"

Chu Ze sneered and asked: "Do you think people from the Zhang family would go to the disaster area to inquire about pesticides for no reason?"

Li Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It is indeed impossible. But even if there is someone behind the Zhang family, so what? Pesticides have contributed to disaster relief. This is a fact that is obvious to the whole country. How can they deny it? "

"Humph, you are so naive!" Chu Ze glanced at Li Xing and said coldly: "Although pesticides are life-saving medicine, if they fall into the hands of evildoers, they may also cause catastrophe!"

Li Xing was stunned and nodded seriously.

Chu Ze sighed and said helplessly: "Although pesticides can kill locusts and protect crops, their toxicity cannot be underestimated. If someone with intentions takes advantage of this, they can secretly do some tricks in the pesticides to increase the toxicity."

"As long as pesticides are deliberately contaminated on humans and animals during spraying, countless lives can be killed unknowingly! By then, pesticides will become murder weapons, and we will be saddled with unwarranted charges that will never be overturned. "Also, if pesticides become murder weapons, it can damage the prestige of the court and even cause civil unrest."

Li Xing felt a chill in his back and couldn't help but shudder.

He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the people in the Zhang family want to use pesticides to frame us? Is there even a bigger conspiracy?"

"That's right." Chu Ze nodded, his eyes as sharp as a knife and said: "So this matter must not be taken lightly! We must find out the Zhang family's conspiracy as soon as possible and kill all the masterminds behind it, so as to avoid long nights and endless dreams!"

Li Xing nodded heavily and clenched his fists.

"I understand!" He said firmly: "I will do my best to help the prince find out about this matter, and I will never let the traitor succeed!"

"Very good!" Chu Ze glanced at Li Xing approvingly and asked, "By the way, is there any other news from Zhao Si?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Si sent someone to send a letter back to the mansion. He said that he had interrogated the spy named Qi Da and confessed that he was ordered by Palace Master Zhang to find out about pesticides. There is not much else to say." The guard replied respectfully.

"Okay, I can rest assured that Zhao Si is doing the work." Chu Ze nodded, and then ordered: "Go and reply to the letter and tell him that I will leave immediately and will arrive in a few days. Let Zhao Si continue to work hard, and be sure to Put that Qida to the bottom of his head and see what else he has to say!”

"No!" The guard took the order, turned the horse's head, and left quickly.

Chu Ze watched the guards go away, but his mind was full of thoughts.

"Zhang Mansion, Zhang Mansion, what are you planning on doing?" He murmured to himself: "Is it really just for the benefit of pesticides, or is there something else?"

Chu Ze closed his eyes and reorganized Palace Master Zhang's actions in his mind.

"It's really unreasonable!" He roared in his heart: "I developed pesticides with good intentions in order to relieve the victims and stabilize society. These people with ulterior motives dare to make fun of people's lives. It is simply unforgivable!"

Chu Ze stayed up all night, with the Zhang family's conspiracy constantly swirling in his mind.

At dawn, Li Xing came to Chu Ze's study and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Chu Ze said in a deep voice.

Li Xing walked into the study and saw that Chu Ze's eyes were green and it looked like he hadn't slept all night. He couldn't help but said worriedly: "My lord, you haven't rested all night, have you? Do you want to take a rest first?"

Chu Ze waved his hand and said tiredly: "It doesn't matter, this little thing won't bother me. It's up to you to tell me about the second batch of pesticides."

Li Xing nodded and said: "Prince Qi, the second batch of pesticides has been produced and is waiting to be shipped to the disaster area."

"Very good." Chu Ze stood up, walked a few steps in the study, and said thoughtfully: "For this second batch of pesticides, you will personally sit in the government office and supervise their careful sealing, and there will be no mistakes. I will personally lead the troops tomorrow, Send pesticides to the disaster area and investigate the details of the Zhang family."

"Your Highness will go in person?" Li Xing was surprised and said quickly: "This kind of dangerous errand should be left to your subordinates." (End of Chapter)
