"Stupid, what do you know!" An old man scolded him sharply: "This is obviously the old man giving the prince of Chu a dismount, so that he doesn't dare to act rashly!" ”

"That's it, the prince of Chu has been getting carried away recently, and this arson is to teach him a lesson!" Another middle-aged man also chimed in.

"You're right!" The young man nodded hurriedly and said, "I will remember this place clearly, and I will definitely set it on time tomorrow!" ”

The butler nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to lead the family to look at the rest of the woods.

Li Xing noticed that there were also a lot of dry firewood, straw, and other flammable materials scattered in the forest.

Once on fire, the consequences are unimaginable!

"Remember, after dark you bring torches and set fires in these places at the same time." The housekeeper pointed out a few key positions one by one.

"Yes!" The family members spoke in unison.

"Retreat quickly after setting fire, leaving no trace." The butler admonished.

The family members nodded their heads again, their expressions solemn, as if they had already painted the scene of the sea of fire in their hearts.

Li Xing quickly rushed to a hidden hut outside the city and met Zhao Si.

"Zhao Si, is there anything new over there?" Li Xing asked eagerly.

"I heard a suspicious group of workers talking about sabotage of the railroad next month." Zhao Si said in a deep voice: "What did you learn about over there?" ”

"I also found out that the Li Mansion is planning to set fire to the forest, but the time should be set for the end of the month, that is, tomorrow." Li Xing frowned.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

"We must report back to Chu Ze immediately." Li Xing said.

"That's what we mean, let's go and report to the prince quickly." Zhao Si also agreed.

The two quickly set out on their way home.

Li Xing was nervous in his heart and said: "The Li family has a lot of conspiracies this time, the prince will definitely have a countermeasure, I just hope that we will report it quickly and don't make any mistakes!" ”

The two quickly came to Chu Ze and knelt down to report: "Lord Wang, the ministers have found out that the Li family has arranged to set fire to the forest at the end of the month!" ”

Chu Zejing listened to the two of them describe what they had seen and heard, and said, "I see, what you said is reasonable." It seems that the Li family is planning to use fire to divert attention and create chaos. ”

Li Xing and Zhao Si both nodded heavily.

Li Xing thought secretly: "The prince is really vigilant, and he deduced the purpose of the Li family with a sharp point. ”

"If you set fire to the forest, you will inevitably attract workers and guards to put out the fire." Chu Ze continued to analyze: "In this way, the door of the railway construction site will be wide open, and their traitors will be able to destroy the railroad tracks!" ”

"The prince's speculation is extremely true!" Li Xing exclaimed: "The Li family's conspiracy was seen through by the prince, it was really a clever calculation!" ”

"That's right, this must be the trick of the Li family!" Zhao Si also suddenly realized.

The three of them glanced at each other and knew about the conspiracy of the Li Mansion.

Chu Ze thought about it again and again, and decided to make a plan, first secretly ambush heavy troops in the forest, and wait for an opportunity to wipe out the Li family's gangsters.

"Everyone, I decided to use a plan to set up an ambush and wipe out the Li family!" Chu Ze made a clear announcement in front of Li Xing and Zhao Si.

Subsequently, Chu Ze told the two of them his plan, he first sent people to pretend to be workers at the construction site, and secretly monitored those spies planted here by the Li family.

At the same time, Chu Ze also ordered that all the flammable materials such as hay and branches be watered in the woods.

At the end of the month, even if the Li family entered the woods, they could not set them on fire.

In this way, the arson plan they prepared will be completely frustrated, so that we can get all the stolen goods.

Then we pretended to create chaos and spread false news to the construction site, saying that the trees were on fire, and asked the workers on the construction site to come out and help put out the fire, and when the spies felt that there was an opportunity to destroy the railroad tracks, we would catch them all.

This kind of arrangement can be described as a clever plan, and it is easy to work everywhere!

"The prince is wise!" Li Xing and Zhao Si responded in unison.

Li Xing thought in his heart: "The prince made a decisive decision, and he must have made a thorough arrangement. We just need to follow the prince, and we will definitely show our strength! ”

"You two continue to monitor the movement of the railway site, and it is important that nothing is overlooked." Chu Ze commanded.

"Yes! We will not be dishonored! The two stood up and saluted.

So, Chu Ze quietly mobilized a group of brave servants and ordered them to hide in various key positions in the forest and wait for the opportunity.

When these people received the order, they all showed excited expressions.

Late the next night, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion led more than a dozen family members to the edge of the forest quietly.

"Do you remember the location? Later, they will set fire to these places at the same time. The butler whispered.

The family members all nodded heavily, and they couldn't wait to light the torches in their hands.

One of the young men opened his mouth and yawned loudly, and said stupidly: "Oh, this work is too hard, I am so sleepy when I come to the forest at night to set fires!" ”

An old man next to him immediately glared at him viciously and said in a low voice: "Less nonsense!" Who would dare to neglect the big things that the master personally commanded?! Try talking again, believe it or not I'm ripping your mouth off! ”

The young man was startled, covered his mouth, and nodded profusely in sweat.

The butler snorted, ignored the young man's complaints, and waved his hand: "Go ahead, light all the fires according to the position I just said!" ”

The family members immediately gathered around the haystacks, and all of them had excited and cruel expressions on their faces.

"Come on, set fire!" With the order of the housekeeper, the family members lit the torches and threw them into the haystack.

"It worked!" "The old man is wise!" The family members cheered as they watched the raging fire.

However, to everyone's surprise, the spark was extinguished in one fell swoop, and there was not even a single flame in the haystack!

"What's going on?!" "Why can't the fire be lit?!"

The housekeepers were stunned, and they picked up torches and tried repeatedly, but they could not always light the haystack.

"What's going on?!" The butler's face turned pale in an instant.

With trembling hands, he took out a torch from his arms and lit it himself, but the spark was extinguished with a "snap".

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on.

An old man stepped forward to inspect it in fear, only to find that the haystack had been watered beforehand.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Lao Ding blurted out, his voice trembling.

At this moment, he said, "Drink!" A thunderbolt came from the forest.

I saw Zhao Si with more than 20 servants from all directions, and immediately surrounded the people of the Li Mansion.

"Put your weapons down! Those who act rashly will be killed! Zhao Siyi waved his hand, and the officials were full of swords and guns, and they were heavily guarded.

Everyone in the Li Mansion looked like ashes, and only then did they know that they had fallen into Chu Ze's trap.

"It's over, it's all over!"

"The master is going to kill us!"
