Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 807: Big commotion in Prince Chu’s mansion!

An hour later, news came from the Prince of Chu's Palace.

In order to find the murderer as soon as possible, the King of Chu prepared to summon painters and paint Mo Yingying's portrait as soon as her health improved.

In order to complete this task as quickly as possible, the Chu Palace offered generous conditions. Anyone who was a painter could sign up and gather at the Chu Palace in five days.

Regardless of whether you can draw a satisfactory portrait or not, you will get ten taels of silver just by going.

Anyone who can draw a complete portrait will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!

Anyone who can draw a portrait that satisfies Mo Yingying will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!

Such generous conditions immediately attracted many painters, and they all went to the Prince Chu's Palace to sign up.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. This matter quickly fermented and the news also reached the palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After listening to Zhao Ming's report, the emperor showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"He made such a big fuss, even spending a lot of money to hire a painter, could it be that he really didn't kill Mo Yushan?"

From the very beginning, the emperor had already determined in his heart that Chu Ning had secretly killed Mo Yushan.

But now it seems that this is not the case, otherwise why would Chu Ning spend a lot of money to hire a painter.

"Zhao Ming, do you think Chu Ning did this?" The emperor asked Zhao Ming with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Ming lowered his head and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, given the character of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if you really want to kill Mo Yushan, wouldn't it be better to kill him in the court?

There are many officials in the court who are attached to the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys in the court will be more deterrent. There is no need to send someone to assassinate them. "

In fact, the reason is very simple, and the emperor has always understood it in his heart, but he just doesn't want to believe that Chu Ning has such a broad mind.

But now Chu Ning's actions, coupled with Zhao Ming's words, made the emperor realize that he was wrong.

But even so, the emperor wanted to use this incident as an excuse to take down Chu Ning!

There is no other reason, Chu Ning’s power is too great now and he must be suppressed.

Thinking of this, the emperor snorted coldly: "I don't care about these, as long as he doesn't find the murderer, then he is the murderer!"

Chu Ning is very careful in what he does. We finally caught Chu Ning's weakness, so how could we give up so easily?

Zhao Ming lowered his head and stopped talking immediately.

Having been with the emperor for so many years, he understood the emperor's character and knew that once a decision was made, it was difficult to change it.

What's more, this time the most favored Fourth Prince died, and the emperor was still furious, so naturally he was unwilling to give up.

If the King of Chu fails to find the murderer this time, he will probably be punished.

Although he sighed in his heart, Zhao Ming didn't dare to say these words out loud.

At the same time, in a large house in the city, a young man was listening to his subordinates' reports with his hands behind his back.

In the dark and dark secret room, I couldn't see anything.

The young man said in a cold voice: "The King of Chu is looking for a painter with such fanfare, it must be because Mo Yingying saw your appearance!"

But the man kneeling on the ground said in panic: "No, this is absolutely impossible. We all covered our faces that night. How could she see what we look like?"

"is it?"

The gloomy young man snorted, "Are you sure you covered your face the whole time?"

"This……"

The panicked voice hesitated for a moment before whispering, "We did cover our faces when we killed Mo Yushan that night, but we took off the face coverings when we disposed of the body and set the fire later."

"Snapped!"

The gloomy young man slapped him with his backhand: "Asshole, the person hasn't even been found yet, and you're so careless in handling the body!

Humph, no wonder Chu Ning was so eager to find a painter, it must be that Mo Yingying was hiding in the dark and saw your appearance. "

The man who was beaten turned pale and quickly explained: "This is impossible. It's dark at night. How could she see our appearance clearly?"

"idiot!"

The gloomy young man slapped her again with his backhand: "When you set fire to the corpse, the fire was so bright that she could see your appearance clearly if she wasn't blind!

Humph, so many people are being played around by a little girl. If I were you, I would just find a piece of tofu and kill myself!"

After being scolded like this, the man kneeling on the ground suddenly stopped talking.

It was indeed because he did not think things through, which not only led to Mo Yingying being rescued, but also to his appearance being seen by others.

But at this point, he was powerless and could only ask in a low voice: "It was my negligence. Please tell me what to do next?"

The gloomy young man narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes: "What else can we do? Of course we have to kill Mo Yingying. We must not let her get the portrait out!

You guys have met her, so I'll leave this matter to you. Although she is in the palace, we can't just sit there and surrender now. We have to give it a try!

How about this, you guys disguise yourself as painters and go to the Prince Chu's mansion, then sneak into the backyard and kill Mo Yingying!"

With no other options left, he had to take a risk. Although the risk was great, it would all be worth it if he could kill Mo Yingying.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely kill Mo Yingying this time. If I fail, I will not come back!"

After saying this, the man stood up, bowed, turned around and left resolutely.

In the secret room, only the gloomy young man was left, squinting his eyes and muttering to himself: "If this fails, the sky of Kyoto City will probably collapse."

Then, his eyes were cold, he clenched his hands, and sneered: "Chu Ning, I don't believe you are so powerful that you can find me here!"

After saying this, the man turned and left.

An hour later, at the Prince of Chu's Palace.

After the painter recruitment notice was posted, painters came to the palace to sign up in an endless stream.

The entrance to the palace was crowded with people, some coming to register, some coming to watch the fun, and some guards from the palace maintaining order.

The applicants lined up in two lines and registered at the tables on the left and right sides of the palace. Behind the tables were two men who looked like legal advisors, writing their names furiously.

Such a hot scene made Ran Ming's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but shout: "Hey, hey, hey, if you are not painters, don't stand here!

I tell you, if anyone dares to deceive His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I will be the first one to not forgive him!"

After saying that, Ran Ming's whole body burst into energy and he picked up the huge stone lion at the gate of the palace with both hands.

Under the surprised eyes of the crowd, Ran Ming took one step at a time, and with every step, the ground cracked.

This shocking scene made everyone's faces change drastically, and they retreated in fear.

The killer hidden in the crowd was shocked when he saw this and his face looked a little ugly.

Of course, those who were planning to come to the palace to defraud money were now so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"I...I have something going on at home, so I won't sign up!"

"My wife is about to give birth, I want to go back and see her."

"It's not easy to make money in this palace. I think I'd better forget it and remove my name."

Many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation were frightened and retreated.

Ran Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He put the stone lion down with both hands, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Sign up now. Five days later, when Mo Yingying's health improves, you all come to the palace and draw the murderer's appearance based on her description!"
