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

"The people from the Zhang family want to cause trouble, so let's give them a 'surprise' to let them know that our people are not easy to mess with!"

Everyone understood and smiled evilly.

At this time, the scout came to report: "Mr. Zhao, the people from the Zhang family have arrived outside the village and are waiting for you to speak!"

Zhao Si smiled coldly and waved his hand, indicating to his subordinates to stand still.

He squinted his eyes and stared in the direction of the village entrance, as if waiting for something.

"Master Zhao, I dare to ask this." A confidant on the side asked quietly: "Why don't we arrest those people directly, but let them go to the village to spread rumors and cause trouble?"

Zhao Si snorted and said in a deep voice: "You are just not careful enough. Since the people from the Zhang family dare to blatantly come to cause trouble, they must be well prepared. If they act rashly, I'm afraid they will scare the snakes and let them run away. ”

"But..." The confidant wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Si raising his hand.

"Let's let them go to the village to 'perform'. When they spread the rumors and the evidence is conclusive, wouldn't it be great if we can take down them in one fell swoop?" Zhao Si's eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. .

"When the time comes, let them know that there will be a price to pay for spreading rumors and causing trouble!" The confidants suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

"Master Zhao is indeed far-sighted, and my subordinates admire him!"

"Hmph, a mere Zhang family dares to act wild under my nose. You really don't know how to live or die!" Zhao Si snorted coldly, staring into the distance with burning eyes, seemingly confident.

On the other side, the housekeeper of the Zhang family, who had no idea that he had fallen into a "trap", was still in the woods outside the village, giving instructions to the servants behind him with a proud expression.

"We will blend in with the villagers later, pretend to have heard news from the next village, and say that the village where pesticides were used is haunted, killing many people, and scaring them out of their wits!" the housekeeper said conspiratorially.

"Yes, sir! Make sure those villagers don't dare to use pesticides anymore!" The servant on the side agreed with a sly smile.

"Also, if we meet those wandering businessmen, we will exaggerate the dangers of pesticides to them so that they will not dare to say good things for Chu Ze anymore!"

"No! I understand!" All the servants nodded and bowed, with flattering expressions on their faces.

"Very good!" The housekeeper nodded with satisfaction and waved: "Let's go and meet those foolish men and women to see if they still dare to believe that Chu Ze!"

After that, the group of people walked towards the village with a proud smile on their faces.

As everyone knows, danger is approaching quietly...

"Master Zhao, people from the Zhang family have entered the village!" The scout guarding the entrance of the village quickly ran over to report.

"Very good!" Zhao Si raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and winked at the confidants beside him: "Give me the order to have the ambush men and horses stand ready. Once the Zhang family's people reveal their flaws, they will be caught immediately!"

"No!" The confidant took the order and left quickly.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the village seemed a little strange.

"Have you heard that? People in the next village used pesticides and killed people!" Zhang's housekeeper pretended to be frightened and sow discord among the villagers.

"Ah? Really? It's too scary!" Some villagers exclaimed, their faces changing drastically.

"Pesticides harm people, what's the point? We can't use them anymore!"

"That is, I would rather starve to death than take harmful drugs!"

Seeing that the rumor was about to be confirmed, Zhao Si's subordinates in disguise saw the opportunity and immediately jumped out to refute. "Nonsense! Pesticides are a gift from the prince, how can they harm people?"

"Exactly! If pesticides are really harmful, why would the prince let us use them?"

When the butler saw this, his expression changed, and he quickly took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Why does the prince care about our life and death? As long as it can make him famous and have a prosperous official career, how much are the lives of a few peasants worth?"

"Nonsense! Your Majesty is clearly doing harm to the people, how dare you slander others?" The old farmer waved his fist angrily and pointed at the housekeeper.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the housekeeper sneered and waved his hand, and the servant behind him immediately showed his weapon and pointed it at everyone threateningly.

"Shut up, everyone! What I said are all facts. Why do you dare to speak for Chu Ze?" the housekeeper roared.

"W-what do you want to do?" The villagers were so frightened that they backed away and looked at this gang of thugs in horror.

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded: "You are so bold and unruly that you dare to act wild here with the intention of inciting people's hearts. Who ordered you?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhao Si leading a team of fully armed sergeants, charging over menacingly.

"These are officers and soldiers... How come there are officers and soldiers?!" The housekeeper was shocked, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

"Master, we're in big trouble now! We've actually run into an official. What should we do?" The servants were also panicked and looked at the housekeeper for help.

The housekeeper forced himself to calm down and said bravely: "Don't panic! As long as I'm here, who dares to do anything to us?"

"Sir, what do you mean? Didn't you see that we are saving these villagers?" the housekeeper pretended to be innocent and asked loudly.

"Save the villagers?" Zhao Si sneered: "You are obviously trying to sow discord and damage the reputation of pesticides, right? It's really unreasonable!"

"Nonsense! We have well-documented reports of pesticides harming people!" the housekeeper yelled, holding his neck.

"Really?" Zhao Si narrowed his eyes and said in a colder tone: "Then you will provide evidence? Or are you just talking nonsense and deliberately spreading rumors to cause trouble?"

The housekeeper was speechless, his face turned pale, and there was more and more cold sweat on his forehead.

"Your Excellency, we have really heard about what happened in the next village, so we came here to remind the villagers. We have no ulterior motives!"

Zhao Si snorted coldly, piercing the housekeeper with his eyes like a knife: "Don't think that I don't know, you are obviously from the Zhang family, and you have been ordered by Zhang Hongru to cause trouble, right?"

"This... this..." The housekeeper panicked and stammered in confusion.

"Come here, capture them for me and take them back to the county government for strict interrogation!" Zhao Si ordered.

The sergeants immediately rushed forward, set up the butler and the servants, and dragged them outside.

"Let me go! You have no right to arrest me! I'm a member of the Zhang family!" the housekeeper yelled, struggling desperately.

"Just because you are Zhang's lackey, I have even more reason to bring you to justice!" Zhao Si sneered again and again: "You dare to cause destruction under my nose, you underestimate the laws of Dazhou!"

"Damn it!" The housekeeper was furious and turned around to yell at the servants: "Why are you still standing there? Put down these officials and let's get out!"

After that, he turned over and broke away from the sergeant's restraints, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed Zhao Si fiercely. (End of chapter)
