From beginning to end, Chen Mo never revealed his identity as a cultivator. The only possibility was that he was a martial arts practitioner and a practitioner who didn't like to talk.
At least that was the impression given to others, so the butler's conversation with him was also full of politeness.
"All right."
Chen Mo glanced at Chu Wushuang, and after making sure she was still safe, he followed the housekeeper and left the main hall.
"Little brother, please."
After leaving the main hall, he entered a side pavilion and passed through. It was a pavilion, but the flowers planted on both sides were replaced with white chrysanthemums. The fragrance wafted up, giving it a hint of purity.
The housekeeper and Chen Mo walked to the middle of the pavilion: "Sit down!" The latter was not polite and took his seat generously: "Little brother, thank you for your hard work for the long journey." The old housekeeper was the first to speak.
Chen Mo said crisply: "Did you write the letter?"
"Um...yes, but..."
The housekeeper was stunned by Chen Mo's blunt words. As soon as his formula was disrupted, his words were out of order: "This little brother... what is your relationship with Master Lin?"
"Chu Wushuang is my senior sister." Chen Mo didn't intend to tell the truth: "Master has something important to do, so I ordered you to accompany me."
The butler's breath was stagnant, and he smiled subconsciously and said apologetically: "It seems that you are also an immortal, and you were just a little rude. Please forgive me!"
“He who does not know is not guilty.”
Chen Mo's intuition told him that there was something slightly abnormal about Chu Du. He just wanted to help Chu Wushuang get revenge and did not want to get involved in other things.
So he went straight to the point and asked the housekeeper: "Chu Chengfeng, how did you die?"
"well!!"
Mentioning this matter, the housekeeper sighed heavily: "When I was alive, in order to eradicate the roving forces in Chudu, I killed the gangsters and bullies in the city. As a result, I suffered fierce revenge from them... "
"The whereabouts of the master have been exposed. There are several archers ambushing them, as well as dead soldiers, swordsmen and axemen... We fight to the death, alas!!!"
When the housekeeper said this, tears were streaming down his face, and Chen Mo also figured out that this was completely an act of revenge by a gang, and it was basically confirmed.
However, a small gangster actually knows how to set up an ambush and dares to sneak attack on a first-class official. This is really courageous. If there is no expert guidance behind him, I am afraid he really won't be able to do it.
Chen Mo analyzed it briefly and decided to hold back for now. What if what the housekeeper said was false?
He couldn't listen to one side of the story, so he was ready to get information from others to support his judgment.
"Alas." Chen Mo also sighed: "Have all those involved in the operation been caught?"
"The two leaders ran away and only captured some useless minions. They should be on death row now."
Chen Mo knew almost everything he wanted to know, so he patted the butler on the shoulder: "I don't know what to say, please forgive me."
The butler said with a grateful face: "With the immortal master here, I am sure that my revenge will be avenged as I wish. Little Liu Fan, I would like to thank the immortal master for coming all the way!"
After saying that, he knelt down to Chen Mo, who made a show of helping him up. The two pushed for a while but failed to kneel down, so they said some words of thanks and returned immediately.
Chen Mo knew in his heart that the butler named Liu Fan looked down upon him very much. From the conversation, he thought that he was not very old and not very capable, so he was probably a useless person.
If the housekeeper really wanted to kneel down, how could it be Chen Mo's turn to be humble here?
For these characters who are used to seeing big shots, it is a difficult thing to suddenly ask them to lower their profile.
However, Chen Mo didn't have the bad taste of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. As long as he could avenge Chu Chengfeng, nothing else mattered, and he wouldn't pursue it after thinking about it.
...
Not long after Chen Mo returned to the mourning hall, the housekeeper went out with two middle-aged men. He probably wanted to exchange information about Chen Mo with them. .
"Second elder brother, fifth elder brother is here!!"
Chen Mo had just meditated for a moment when he heard someone from Chu Mansion shouting loudly. The two elder brothers must be the second prince and fifth prince of Chu State. The fact that they came together showed that they were grasshoppers on the same rope.
Chu Wushuang was also standing among the female relatives at this time. Chen Mo put on a white robe and was inconspicuous, quietly observing the two extraordinary princes.
The second prince is extraordinary, his eyes are very spiritual, and he has assisted Emperor Chu in reviewing memorials for many years. He also has an aura of calmness and self-reliance. Although he is also visiting in white, he is a little more gentle than the others. breath.
As for the fifth prince, his long braid was combed behind his back, and his whole person showed a sense of heroism. He did not look like a prince, but a bohemian knight. The thick calluses on his hands confirmed this from the side.
"Second elder brother, fifth elder brother, I'm sorry for missing you from afar!"
Chen Mo saw that the square-faced middle-aged man was the first to step forward to say hello, followed by the thin middle-aged man. Now he could easily tell who was the second oldest and who was the third oldest.
"Alas!" The second prince clenched his fists in grief and waved his hand towards the void: "Uncle Chengfeng... Alas, these damn bastards, investigate! We must get to the bottom of it!! We must punish them as well as the Nine Clans. Not an exaggeration!!”
The square-faced middle-aged man said: "We have found out that it was the Wufu Gang who was responsible. Except for their gang leader and military advisor, everyone else has been caught."
"Hong Lan, you are responsible for this matter, and you must not let anyone doubt you!!"
The second prince immediately spoke to the person behind him, as if he wanted to take over this matter. The fifth prince, named Hong Lan, immediately took the order: "Second brother, don't worry, this matter has been taken care of by my brother! "
The two sang in harmony, leaving the square-faced middle-aged man at a loss for words. The second prince held his hand tightly again: "Fansheng, don't be too sad. You still have two brothers like us. We need help." When you arrived, you told us that we can discuss everything! Do you understand?"
"Second Brother, the prisoner has been placed on death row. No one is allowed to enter except under the emperor's instructions. You and Hong Lan's kindness... Fansheng here understands it well!"
After saying that, Chu Fansheng bowed deeply to the two of them to express his apology.
The surprised expression on the second prince's face flashed away, and then he smiled gently: "Really? It doesn't matter... Since it is the imperial edict issued by the emperor, I won't add any unnecessary details, but you... ..Take care of yourself!"
"Thank you, second brother, for caring!"
At this time, everyone in the main hall seemed to have made an agreement and bowed to the two princes. How could Chen Mo and Chu Wushuang understand this? Under the display, the two straight waists looked very abrupt in the crowd.
He had seen so many beauties that it was not surprising. The second prince's eyes quickly passed over Chu Wushuang's face, and then looked at Chen Mo.
His look was very special, and the second prince had to say that even though he had read everything in the world over the years, he had never seen such a look.
In this person's eyes, there is a little more fear of power. No, it is more reasonable to say plain. With a hint of disdain, it transcends the constraints of the world. Just one glance left a deep impression on the second prince. The impression is vaguely like that of facing the young Emperor Ama.
