"No!" The men also nodded their heads repeatedly.

Zhao Si looked around, his eyes like a torch: "Remember, this operation is related to the prestige of the imperial court, and it is also related to the safety of the people." You must do your best, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"My subordinates understand!" All the scouts responded in unison, grinding their fists and eager to try.

Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone is in place, let's get ready to act." ”

The scouts quickly dispersed, each dressed up.

Zhao Si turned around and instructed another group of people: "You give me strict guards of those Zhang Mansion stewards, don't let them die, and at the same time continue to interrogate non-stop, don't let them have a moment of rest, and be sure to pry useful information out of their mouths." ”

"No!" The subordinates took the order and left.

An hour later, Zhao Si came to the prison again, only to see several housekeepers tied up with flowers, kneeling on the ground with a disgraced face, looking terrified.

"Give me an honest explanation!" Zhao Si shouted: "Why do you want to destroy pesticides?" ”

The housekeepers looked at each other, and no one dared to squeak.

Zhao Si sneered and said contemplatively: "What, want to pretend to be dumb?" Well, I'll loosen your mouth for you! ”

With a wave of his hand, the jailers understood, drew their whips, and crackled them.

"Ahh Spare your life! The housekeepers screamed and rolled on the ground.

"To say or not to say? If you don't explain honestly, I'm welcome! Zhao Si shouted angrily.

"The villain says, the villain says everything!" A housekeeper kept kowtowing with a sad face.

"Say it! Who instructed you? Zhao Si narrowed his eyes.

"Yes...... It's the master of Zhang's house, Zhang, Zhang Hongru! The butler said in a trembling voice.

"He ordered us to take people to spread rumors and tarnish the reputation of pesticides."

"Why?" Zhao Si asked.

"The master of Zhang's house said that if pesticides were promoted, his grain business would not be successful." The butler replied tremblingly.

"So he wants us to stop people from using pesticides at all costs."

"It's another set of rhetoric"

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where did you get those weapons you brought?" How could Zhang Fu have so much sophisticated equipment? ”

"This ...... This villain doesn't know. The housekeeper hesitated and said, "The villain is just acting on orders, and he doesn't know anything else." ”

"Come on, torture me!" He shouted.

"I'd like to see how long they can get their mouths hard!"

"Don't! The villain is really just a minion, and he doesn't know anything else! The butler cried out in horror.

At this moment, the jailer hurriedly came to report: "Lord Zhao, when the subordinate was interrogating another housekeeper, he said that he had leaked his mouth and mentioned what 'Emperor Yuan'!" ”

"What?!" Zhao Si was shocked: "Quick, take me to see the housekeeper!" ”

He hurriedly followed the jailer to another cell, only to see a butler hanging from the torture rack, covered in wounds and dying.

"What are you talking about Qi Kingdom? Tell me more about it! Zhao Si stepped forward and grabbed the butler's collar and asked sharply.

"Villain...... The villain heard the master of the Zhang Mansion mention ......" The butler endured the pain and said intermittently: "He said that if this operation is successful...... What Yuan Zhaozong...... Emperor Yuan will have a heavy reward......"

"Emperor Yuan?!" Zhao Si gasped, and a storm was set off in his heart.

Zhao Si hurriedly came to Chu Ze's mansion and reported to him about the interrogation of the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion.

"Lord Wang, when my subordinates were interrogating those Zhang Mansion stewards, they overheard a shocking news!" Zhao Si said with a solemn expression.

"Oh? What's the news? Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and motioned for Zhao Si to continue.

Zhao Si took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "One of the housekeepers mentioned that Zhang Hongru once said that if this operation is successful, Emperor Yuan will have a heavy reward!" ”

"What?! Emperor Yuan?! Chu Zehuo stood up, his face changed suddenly.

"That's right!" Zhao Si nodded: "When my subordinates heard the word 'Emperor Yuan', they were also taken aback. Zhang Fu actually colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, this is simply a rebellion! ”

Chu Ze frowned tightly and paced back and forth in the hall.

He had a lot of thoughts in his heart: "Emperor Yuan...... Could it be someone from the royal family of the previous dynasty? Zhang Fu dared to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty, this is the rhythm of rebellion! ”

"Lord Wang, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Zhao Si asked cautiously.

Chu Ze pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Zhao Si, you immediately send someone to Fengyang, and let Li Xing bring someone to come immediately! Be sure to hurry up and make no mistakes! ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" Zhao Si received the order and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" Chu Ze stopped him, took a brush from the desk, and quickly wrote a secret letter.

"You asked someone to go to Li Xing with this handwritten letter, and asked him to immediately take my warrant and go to the Fengyang guard general to transfer troops for reinforcements, and he will definitely fully cooperate."

Zhao Si took the secret letter and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, your subordinates will definitely live up to your trust!" ”

Chu Ze instructed again: "By the way, select another group of capable scouts, enter the Zhang Mansion at all costs, and continue to inquire about the news."

No matter what means are used, we must find out the relationship between the Zhang Mansion and the previous dynasty! “

"No!" Zhao Si answered the order.

Chu Ze watched Zhao Si leave, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

"Zhang Hongru, you dog thief! How dare you attempt to rebel! How unreasonable! He rebuked inwardly.

"No matter what tricks you have, I will never let you succeed!"

Chu Ze clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He secretly swore that he must find out the conspiracy of Zhangfu, protect the people, and maintain the Ming Dynasty!

This night, Zhao Si led a team of scouts and quietly approached Zhang's mansion.

"Be careful, everyone, be sure to be unaware!" He lowered his voice and commanded.

"No!" All the scouts should be in unison, and they are all ready to fight.

"Action!" Zhao Si gave an order, and everyone immediately sneaked inside and outside Zhang's mansion and began to collect information.

Zhao Si took the lead in blending into the mansion, pretending to be an ordinary subordinate, carefully observing every move around him.

"Huh? What is that? His gaze fell on a closed door, and his brow furrowed slightly.

I saw that the door was locked, and there were two housekeepers guarding the door, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"Look at this battle, there must be nothing good in it!" Zhao Si secretly thought in his heart and decided to find out.

He snuck around to a paper window, pulled a tool from his bosom, and picked the lock.

"There it is!" Zhao Si lightly pushed the window in, only to see that the room was brightly lit, and several people were talking in a low voice.

"If this operation is successful, we will be able to ascend to the sky in one step and enjoy wealth again!" An old voice said, it was Zhang Hongru! (End of chapter)
