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

"As a prince, if something happens to you, what should you do?" "Don't worry." Chu Ze patted Li Xing's shoulder and said with a smile, "My little life is not that easy to lose. Besides, The Zhang family’s conspiracy must be investigated as soon as possible without any delay. I will go there in person so that I can give a deterrent to those with ulterior motives.”

Seeing that Chu Ze had made up his mind, Li Xing could only sigh and said, "Then I wish the prince a safe journey and a triumphant return as soon as possible!"

"With your words, I feel relieved." Chu Ze smiled and nodded, and then ordered: "By the way, you have to be careful and take precautions when I am not in the house these days. If there is any trouble, You have to report it to me immediately, you know?”

"No!" Li Xing bowed and responded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that my subordinates will act with caution and live up to their trust!" Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction and waved for Li Xing to retreat.

After Li Xing left, Chu Ze let out a long sigh and murmured to himself: "This battle is really hard to fight. What are the intentions of the Zhang family? How many interests are involved in the pesticide matter? It seems that this trip to the disaster area will not be easy.”

Early the next morning, Chu Ze led a group of elite troops to escort the second batch of pesticides and marched out of Fengyang City.

After several days of travel, Chu Ze and his party finally arrived at the disaster area. Outside the city gate, Zhao Si and the county magistrate had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chu Ze, the two people quickly stepped forward to salute. "See you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Si and the county magistrate said in unison, with respectful and excited tones.

Chu Ze waved his hand, indicating that the two of them would not be polite.

He looked around and saw that on the road outside the city gate, people were busy in the fields. Although they all looked sallow and thin, there was a sense of hope and joy in their brows.

"It seems that the effect of the pesticide is good." Chu Ze felt a little relieved, and turned to ask Zhao Si: "Did Qida use it? Did he say anything?"

Zhao Si shook his head and said helplessly: "Back to the prince, that guy is very tough and still refuses to tell the truth. His subordinates have tried all kinds of methods, but he just won't do it."

Chu Ze frowned and snorted coldly: "You really don't know how to live or die! Let's wait until the king personally interrogates him to see if he still dares to speak harshly!" After that, he strode towards the city, Zhao Sihe The county magistrate quickly followed.

Along the way, Chu Ze asked the two about the disaster situation and the use of pesticides from time to time. Zhao Si and the county magistrate answered one by one, with excitement on their faces.

"Your Majesty, since the use of pesticides, the crops have been getting better day by day, and the people are smiling." The county magistrate said excitedly: "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's magical medicine! If Your Majesty hadn't made the pesticide in time, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives here. The people will starve to death! "We will never be able to repay your kindness in our lifetime!" Zhao Si nodded with emotion.

Listening to what the two of them said, Chu Ze felt relieved.

He thought to himself: "Serving as an official will bring benefits to one party. If this pesticide can really help the victims, all my hard work will be worth it." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

"The Zhang family's conspiracy hasn't been fully investigated yet, and it's too early to be happy now." Chu Ze thought to himself, "We have to interrogate that Qi Da quickly to see what else he is hiding from us." Soon, a group of people Arrive at the county prison.

Qi Da was tied to an iron pillar with five flowers and his face was covered in blood. He had obviously been severely interrogated.

"Qi Da, I will give you a chance." Chu Ze stared at Qi Da coldly and said word by word: "To be honest, what is your master Zhang's plan for sending you to the disaster area? Do you want to Use pesticides to frame me?" Qida raised his head and stared at Chu Ze stubbornly without saying a word.

"I'll give you another chance." Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and said in an even colder tone: "If you don't tell me honestly again, don't blame me for being rude!" Qida had no choice but to say, hoarsely: "I already said it, I was just ordered to inquire about pesticides, and I have no other purpose. As for the frame-up you are talking about, I really don’t know.”

"Fart!" Chu Ze was furious, grabbed Qida by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"I tell you, if you don't tell the truth, I will make you live a life worse than death!" Chu Ze roared, "Come here, beat him hard until he tells the truth!" "Yes!" The jailer responded, pulled out the whip from his waist, and whipped Qi Da hard.

Qi Da screamed and rolled on the ground, but still refused to tell the truth.

"You bastard, do you think I'm a vegetarian?" Chu Ze was so angry that he kicked Qi Da in the stomach and shouted angrily: "Hit me, beat me to death!" Qi Da was beaten with bruises all over his body and was in extreme pain. , but always gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

When Chu Ze saw this, he was extremely angry.

He paced back and forth in the cell, staring at Qida with a gloomy look, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest first?" Seeing Chu Ze's anger, Zhao Si was a little worried, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Qida's oil and salt are not coming in, I'm afraid that nothing can be found out for a while. Why don't you go back to the office to rest and come back for questioning tomorrow?"

Chu Ze shook his head and said coldly: "I want to see how long he can keep his words!" After that, he ordered people to hang Qida up and continue to torture him.

Qida's screams were endless and echoed in the cell, making people's hair stand on end.

In this way, Chu Ze interrogated Qida for three days and three nights, but was still unable to pry his mouth open.

On the morning of the fourth day, Qida finally passed out and could no longer bear the torture.

When Chu Ze saw this, he became agitated.

He looked around, his eyes fell on Zhao Si, and said solemnly: "It seems that Qida is just an abandoned son of the Zhang family. He may really not know the inside story."

The next day, Chu Ze was hosting a banquet in the county government office to entertain some famous local folks. "Fellow folks, thank you for your trust and support to the imperial court!" Chu Ze raised his glass and said, "Thanks to your cooperation, the pesticide matter can be implemented smoothly. I dedicate this glass of wine to you!"

"Why, we have to thank the prince!" A white-haired old man stood up and said gratefully: "If the prince hadn't made the pesticide in time, we farmers would have all starved to death! The prince's Thank you, we will never forget it!”

"That's right, the prince's pesticide, it's really a miracle drug!" Another middle-aged man also said excitedly: "My grandson has been farming all his life, and this is the first time I have seen such an effective pesticide! Thanks to the prince's hard work, he developed it Use this magic locust-killing medicine to save us from fire and water!" Chu Ze sighed with emotion when he heard this. (End of chapter)
