By the next day, the news that Chu Mo had been assassinated on Buyun Street last night immediately spread throughout Kyoto.

At the same time, rumors that the assassins who assassinated him were all killed by lightning quickly spread throughout the city, and it became a strange story among the people of Kyoto City.

In particular, it is said that Chu Mo is the reincarnation of a saint and is blessed by the heavens, and it is even more popular in the city, and the people say that the prince of Chu is the reincarnation of a saint, and Chu will definitely prosper.

For a while, Chu Mo's prestige quickly reached its peak, and the people were eager to force Chu Yunxiu to abdicate immediately, and directly let Chu Mo, the crown prince, succeed to the throne of Chu Huang and lead the Chu State to prosperity.

Fortunately, Chu Mo knew in his heart that Chu Yunxiu was still a Ming Jun, and he loved himself very much. Otherwise, he was really worried that in order to stabilize his throne, Emperor Chu would get rid of him, the crown prince who had seriously threatened his throne.

What made Chu Mo even more helpless was that he had shown such a high level of poetry and literary talent before, and he had done so many good things for the people of Chu State.

As a result, the prestige accumulated is not as high as the reputation caused by the rumors caused by the assassination this time!

"If I had known this, I should have made myself like a god descending from the heavens, and who would dare to oppose me in the future?" Chu Mo said secretly in his heart.

The rumors in the city are getting more and more lively, but after a few days, many versions have been derived.

Some people say that Chu Mo is the reincarnation of a saint and has been blessed by the sky. Some people also say that Chu Mo descended from the gods, and those assassins were killed by him with heavenly thunder.

Some people even said that whatever reincarnation was false, Chu Mo must have practiced some peerless martial arts, so he easily killed those assassins.

Chu Mo didn't care too much about these messy rumors, as long as these rumors were still beneficial to him, the more the people liked to discuss, the more important he was in the minds of the people of Chu State.

This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to accumulate prestige, and Chu Mo will naturally not let it go.

However, in the past few days, he has been staying in the prince's mansion, and he has not even gone to the early court. Emperor Chu sent someone to visit, and Chu Mo only replied a few words, without mentioning anything about the assassination.

Emperor Chu had no choice but to send someone to thoroughly investigate the assassination, and soon found out that the assassins who assassinated Chu Mo on Buyun Street were the old subordinates of Zhao Ning, the uncle of Emperor Zhao, and they came to Kyoto to assassinate Chu Mo this time in order to avenge Zhao Ning.

In this way, it makes sense, why would the soldiers of Zhao State run thousands of miles from Zhao State to Chu State to kill him as a prince of Chu State.

But for this matter, Chu Mo felt that it was not so simple.

So after he returned to the prince's mansion with the snow that night, he immediately asked Li Jin to find out about this matter, with Li Jin's ability, plus in Kyoto City, there are only a few people who have always wanted Chu Mo to die.

Therefore, it only took Li Jin one night to find out the head of the eldest prince.

But Chu Mo only knew the truth about the entire assassination incident, and he had no conclusive evidence to prove that the assassination on Buyun Street that night was related to the eldest prince Chu Sheng.

Therefore, in the past few days, Chu Mo has been asking people to look for evidence that can point to the eldest prince.

After waiting for a few days, Li Jin finally brought good news.

"Your Highness, the person you want has been found. ”

Chu Mo stood up excitedly and hurriedly asked him, "Those people, where are they now?"

"According to His Highness's wishes, all of them have been arranged to live in Wangjiang Tower. ”

"Okay, quickly accompany Gu Gu to Wangjiang Tower. Chu Mo showed a cold smile and said secretly: "The boss and the fourth have tried to kill me several times, I didn't have the time to take care of you before, now it's time to clean up!"

Soon, Chu Mo followed Li Jin and came to Wangjiang Tower together.

Li Jin took him into a well-guarded room, and as soon as he entered it, Chu Mo saw a group of people sitting inside, and when these people saw someone coming in, they also stood up one after another.

Li Jin immediately stepped forward and said: "This is His Royal Highness Chu Mo, the crown prince of our Chu State, you people, if you want to live, you will honestly tell everything you know." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

"We were all forced by the eldest prince, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be gracious and spare us from death!"

As soon as they heard Li Jin's words, these people in the room immediately knelt down and begged Chu Mo for mercy.

They were all related to the assassination, and some of them were responsible for helping the eldest prince buy off the city guards and arrange for Zhao Ning's old troops to enter Kyoto.

There are also those who are responsible for settling those Zhao Assassins, and those who are responsible for sending letters between the Great Prince and those Zhao Assassins.

And, at the beginning, let those Zhao State assassins take the middleman of the line of the eldest prince Chu Sheng.

As long as he has these witnesses, plus some evidence involving the eldest prince in their hands, even if he tries his best this time, he doesn't want to get rid of himself.

And he deliberately asked Li Jin to arrange for these people to live together in Wangjiang Tower, just to tell them that he already knew everything and let them cooperate obediently.

Therefore, as soon as these people saw Chu Mo coming in person, they were immediately frightened and begged for mercy.

"If you want to live, you have to listen to Lone. Chu Mo said to them.

If these people were amnesty, they all nodded in agreement, and they all listened to Chu Mo's orders.

Chu Mo nodded, and said lightly: "As long as you are willing, report the behavior of the eldest prince in the court, and tell him about colluding with the assassins of Zhao State to kill Gu, and Gu will ensure that your life is worry-free." ”

But when they heard that Chu Mo asked them to report the eldest prince, these people suddenly hesitated again, and looked at each other one by one, and the people who had shouted that they were all listening to Chu Mo were now all quiet.

Their reaction, Chu Mo actually expected it a long time ago, after all, the eldest prince Chu Sheng still has some deterrent power, not to mention that these people are doing things for Chu Sheng, they must have a handle to be pinched by Chu Sheng.

Otherwise, with Chu Sheng's character, it would be impossible to hand over such an important matter to them.

Just as they hesitated, Li Jin immediately stood up and angrily reprimanded: "You dogs, colluding with foreign enemies and murdering the prince, that is a big crime of the Nine Clans. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, as long as you come out to testify against the Great Prince, you and your family can spare your lives, don't you know how to be grateful to Dade? Don't you really think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not dare to kill your nine clans?"

Chu Mo also said: "Lone knows what you are worried about, you are afraid that the eldest prince will gain power in the future, and after becoming the emperor of Chu, he will come to you for trouble because of this matter." Don't worry, this time Gugu will definitely make him never turn over!"

"That's right, our current crown prince is so talented and outstanding, how can the throne of Chu State fall into the hands of the eldest prince!"

"That's right, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm willing to stand up and testify!"

"I do, too. ”

"I'm willing to testify!"
