Chapter 421: Divide and Break

Liu Qun was silent for a moment, and finally told Chen Mu everything he had encountered after entering Beijing to take the exam.

Chen Mu was listening, the more he listened, the more angry he felt, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he turned his head and glanced at the subordinates who followed behind him.

Seeing this, his subordinates immediately understood what Chen Mu meant, and when they turned around and left, they were ready to send someone to deliver the news and let the people in the capital carefully investigate the matter.

Chen Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of Liu Qun, he had already believed Liu Qun, this young man was full of books at a glance, and he didn't look like a reckless man who worked in the fields all year round.

Now the young man has lost his legs in order to save him.

Even if he saved the people in the royal family, he naturally deserved a heavy reward, a mere fifty taels of silver, and even to take care of the aftermath of this young man, which was the most basic.

Chen Mu thought for a moment and said to the young man.

"This matter, I will stand up for you, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, and when I finish the disaster relief, you and your mother can go to the capital with me."

"What belongs to you, I will take it back and hand it over to you, and I will never let others take advantage of this!"

Liu Qun and his mother glanced at each other, were silent for a moment, and finally nodded and responded.

This lord is honest and fair, and may indeed be able to help him regain his position.

Seeing that Liu Qun had taken care of the matter, Chen Mu sighed again, and he made a few points and asked a few villagers from other towns to help Liu Qun's family clean up the sediment in the house.

Liu Qun's legs were injured and he still needs to recuperate.

After finding a few more villagers to take care of Liu Qun, Chen Mu left the village and returned to his residence.

Chen Mu asked the secret guard to bring the person who was working on the mountain with the intention of harming him.

Several of them were dressed as ordinary farmers, but when they were pulled into the room by the secret guards, Chen Mu could still see the ferocity in their eyes.

Most of these people were assassins who deliberately disguised themselves as ordinary farmers.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked his subordinates to tear off the towel that was stuffed on one person's mouth.

Poison had also been placed in their mouths, and when they were caught by the guards, they tried to kill themselves by breaking through the poison sacs hidden in their mouths.

Fortunately, the guards were able to take advantage of their means, and after catching them, they immediately saw through their minds, unloaded their jaws, and took out the poison from their mouths.

After the towel on his mouth was torn off, they looked at each other, and the man who hit the head snorted coldly and said.

"We just want to kill you, a corrupt official, and we don't have anyone behind us!"

"One person does things and one person is responsible, if you want to kill or chop, listen to and respect!"

Chen Mu sneered.

These people are used to pretending, he slowly stood up, circled around them, and then, slowly, said in a slow manner.

"As the crown prince of the current dynasty, it is easy for me to thoroughly investigate the forces behind you, and now, I ask you about the forces behind you, because I want to leave you a way to live."

The eyelids of the arrested men jumped, but they still didn't say much.

Seeing this, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows again and said clearly.

"You claim that I am a corrupt official, but when I revealed that I am the crown prince, you did not show a look of surprise, it seems that you have known that I am the prince for a long time."

"Who is the man who sent you, who is so bold and intent on murdering the prince?!"

The assassins were stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to their senses.

Oh no, they've just been exposed!

"Since they don't want to confess the identity of the person behind them, let's drag them down, kill them directly, and just leave one alive."

Several secret guards swarmed up and dragged the man down.

The Assassins were taken to different rooms, all believing that their companions had been killed.

Those secret guards followed Chen Mu's instructions and pretended to say that their companions had recruited the mastermind behind the scenes before they were killed.

Chen Mu already had a few suspicions, and he arranged for the guards to say the names of different adults in the room, while observing the expressions on the faces of the assassins.

One of the guards was keenly aware that the assassin in front of him twitched slightly, as if he was a little weak and incredulous.

The guard was immediately convinced that the great man of his mouth was the messenger of the Lord.

He told Chen Mu the news, and Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

He asked people to send news to the capital to thoroughly investigate the power of the lord.

After having the results and judgments, Chen Mu had them imprisoned again.

When the Assassins were in the same room and met their companions, whom the Dark Guard had said had been executed, they stared in shock.

They immediately realized that they had been cheated.

"Did you just leak the news of the adults?"

Someone asked in a low voice, and the secret guard in the room immediately turned his head and glared, and at this moment, Chen Mu pushed the door and walked in.

Having already judged the identity of the adult who attacked him, Chen Mu directly said the name of the adult in front of several assassins.

"Xiao Yu, and the Xiao family? I didn't expect them to be so bold as to attack me. ”

Chen Mu sneered, and several assassins immediately changed their complexions, even when someone scolded angrily.

"Who is it? Who leaked the news?! ”

When they were held in solitary confinement, they didn't know if their companions had told the truth about the matter, and they were suspicious of each other at this time, but now when they heard Chen Mu tell the identity of the initiator, they were even more sure of their guesses.

There must have been a companion who leaked the truth!

The matter has been revealed, and there is no point in continuing to hide it, and in the face of the torture of the secret guards, they confessed the details of the Lord Xiao, the family behind him, and the accomplices who instructed them to do this one by one.

Chen Mu asked his subordinates to record the testimony of these people.

After confirming the identities of all the people who intended to do it to him, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to take people down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, and he actually used such a method to make them reveal the truth."

Chen Mu shook his head quietly.

"This is the only way to break the psychological defenses of the veteran Assassins, most of whom are suspicious, and who will not continue to hide anything by pretending that their companions have divulged the truth and presenting evidence."

"Get someone to investigate this time at once."

Chen Mu smiled coldly, his eyes gloomy.

The subordinates immediately responded, and were about to retreat, Chen Mu suddenly remembered something, he groaned slightly, and said.

"Wait, after getting the evidence, don't rush to attack them, wait until I return to Beijing to take care of this matter myself, this matter must be bigger."

If you don't kill the chickens and make an example, and just quietly let people solve those few families, this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future.

He is the prince of the court, if he does not use his strong skills, he will deter those with ill intentions.

Won't he be bullied by those ministers in the future?
