Chu Ze watched coldly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Now the conspiracy of the Li Mansion has finally dug up the root cause, and he can justifiably arrest them!

"Remember it clearly, write it down word for word!" Chu Ze instructed the officials.

"Yes!" The officials took note of these confessions.

The next day, Li Yue, the old man of the Li Mansion, didn't sleep all night, thinking that the housekeeper and the housekeeper sent out yesterday had not yet reported the news.

The old man felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

It didn't take long for a family elder to run back in a panic and say incoherently, "Patriarch, it's not good! The housekeeper and they were all arrested by the government! ”

"What?!" Master Li's eyes widened and said, "Caught? How so! ”

The old man of the clan hung down deeply and replied tremblingly: "It is said that they were caught by the officials of the government when they set fire to the woods...... Now they are all being held in the Yamen prison on charges of arson and destruction of the railroad tracks! ”

"Oops!" Master Li's face turned pale instantly, and he said, "Could it be that our plan has been seen through?!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The patriarch also broke out in a cold sweat and said, "For some reason, the fire we set in the woods couldn't be lit. At this moment, the official suddenly came out and captured everyone! ”

Master Li's legs weakened and he sat back in his chair.

He remembered everything he had arranged last night, and it was such a failure, what a big joke!

"Chu Ze! It had to be him! Master Li gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "He must have set a trap to make us so embarrassed!" ”

The clan elder was also confused: "I don't know how Chu Ze could detect our plan, this is really unexpected!" ”

After the Li Mansion learned the news that his conspiracy had been revealed, the high-ranking members of the Li family suddenly panicked.

Li Yue, the patriarch of the Li family, immediately gathered all the high-level leaders of the Li family for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Chu Ze, a villain full of benevolence and morality, actually used such despicable means to calculate my Li family!" Li Yue shot the case and was furious.

A clan elder also wailed: "Chu Ze simply wronged our Li family!" ”

"Exactly! We must fight back and make Chu Ze pay! All the ministers were also excited and responded positively.

"However, Chu Ze already has the evidence of our guilt in his hands." Another clan elder reminded: "He can expose the crimes committed by our Li family at any time, which is extremely unfavorable to us. ”

"You're right." Li Yue pondered for a moment, and had to admit that the current situation was unfavorable and said: "Chu Ze has already mastered our handle, we must keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble again." ”

"Okay, we can only swallow our anger for the time being, so that Chu Ze thinks that we have succumbed. When he slacks, it's not too late for us to take revenge. Li Yue secretly clenched his fists.

Chu Ze and the others discussed how to deal with the Li Mansion, because what was caught was only a housekeeper and some family members of the Li Mansion, and it was difficult to bring down the entire Li Mansion based on their confessions alone.

Chu Ze muttered: "The Li Mansion is huge, and it is indeed difficult to hit the foundation of the Li Mansion with the confessions of these few small characters alone. We still need more evidence to set the story of the Lee Mansion on the head. ”

Li Xing also frowned and said, "Yes, just based on the confessions of the housekeeper and the family, the Li Mansion can still quibble that they did it privately. We must investigate further and find out more shady scenes at the top of the Li Mansion. ”

Zhao Si clenched his fists and said, "That's right! Such a powerful force as the Li Mansion must still be hiding many unsightly criminal deeds. We must uproot all of them! ”

At this time, the Li Mansion sent Li Fu, a descendant of the clan, to the Yamen, and said to Chu Ze with a smile: "This incident is purely done by Jin Xuehai's remnants to bewitch the housekeepers and family members of our mansion, and it has nothing to do with my Li Mansion. I hope that the prince will be aware of everything, and don't misunderstand my Li Mansion. ”

Chu Ze sneered and said, "Do you think I'll believe these words? With the power of the Li Mansion, how could they be ignorant of the actions of the family? How long do you want to quibble? ”

Li Fu's heart sank, and he knew that if he continued to quibble, he would only ask for trouble, so he had to say in a low voice at the moment: "What the prince said is that my Li Mansion does have negligence, but it is not intended to be evil. I also hope that the prince will be gracious, and don't blame my Li Mansion too much. ”

Chu Ze looked at him like a dog, and snorted coldly with disdain: "In this way, your Li Mansion really doesn't know anything about what the housekeeper and others in the mansion are doing?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Fu replied in a loud voice: "My Li Mansion doesn't know anything about this, this is Jin Xuehai's remnants taking advantage of the fact that there are spies in my mansion, and it has nothing to do with the Li Mansion!" ”

"You fox, you want to continue to quibble!" Zhao Siyi slapped the table and said angrily: "How can the high-ranking officials of the Li Mansion know nothing about the behavior of the family like you? You are clearly complicit! ”

Li Xing also sneered: "A typical unloading and killing donkey, putting all the responsibility on his subordinates." Do you think we're going to be deceived? ”

Li Fu panicked in his heart, and had to say more flatteringly: "The prince is wise, it is indeed my Li Mansion that has been negligent. I also hope that Wang Ye Haihan will give us a chance to repent and reform myself. ”

Chu Ze snorted coldly and said, "This kind of chaos has occurred within your Li Mansion, which shows that your family has been in chaos. For such a thing that endangers the country, I originally wanted to punish him severely to make an example! ”

Li Fu was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded: "The prince is serious!" I, the Li government, admit that we are wrong, but we have absolutely no intention of harming the country. Please also ask the prince to be enlightened, and give us a chance to repent! ”

Chu Ze pondered for a moment, and finally said: "In this case, your Li Mansion must openly admit your mistakes in front of the people and compensate my yamen for the losses. I will tolerate this matter once, if there is a next time, you and I will only have to turn around and conflict! ”

Li Fu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" I, the Li government, will obey the order to publicly admit our mistakes and do our best to compensate for all losses. I also promise the prince that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future! ”

Chu Ze nodded, and then let Li Fu and the others leave.

Li Xing saw Chu Ze let the Li Mansion go, and couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, with the power of the Li Mansion, they will definitely make a comeback." Can a single public confession of mistake be enough to suppress them? ”

Chu Ze groaned: "What you said is not unreasonable. The forces of the Li Mansion cannot be underestimated, and it is difficult to fundamentally attack them by just admitting their mistakes. ”

"Exactly!" Li Xing echoed: "I think the Li Mansion will never give up, we must be vigilant!" ”

"You're right." Chu Ze nodded and said, "Although we let go of the Li Mansion this time, we can't take it lightly. You continue to spy on the movements of the Li Mansion, and report any changes immediately. ”

"Yes!" Li Xing and Zhao Si responded to the order, went down to arrange personnel, and carried out Chu Ze's orders. (End of chapter)
