Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 149

   Chapter 149 Remembering

   The alley is neither long nor short, Cheng Shu strutted his two long legs with the strength to suckle, and soon saw the light at the entrance of the alley.

   That is the morning sun trying to break through the darkness and sprinkle the morning light on the world.

   He rushed out like a fly, and suddenly saw a child standing there blankly.

  Cheng Shu hurriedly ducked to the side, because he turned too fast and couldn't stand firm, and fell to the ground.

   The frightened child burst into tears.

   A man rushed over and hugged the child: "Bao'er, are you alright?"

   The boy kept crying and pointed at Cheng Shu.

   "What's the matter with you, you are rampaging in the early morning!" The man glared at Cheng Shu.

  Cheng Shu, who was sitting on the ground, stared straight at the father and son as if frightened.

  The crying boy hiding in his father's arms, his anger-faced father—he thought of something and jumped up suddenly.

  The man hugged the child and quickly dodged, only to see the rampant boy approaching excitedly.

  The man hurried away with the child, scolding as he walked: "I encountered a neuropathy early in the morning."

   As soon as he turned his head, he found that the neuropathy actually took two steps in this direction, and immediately his face changed and he started to trot.

  Cheng Shu kept staring at the father and son, until the man in black dragged another man in black out of the alley, and then he remembered to continue running.

   He turned around and nearly bumped into someone.

  The man stretched out his hand to support him: "Brother Cheng."

   The familiar voice made Cheng Shu's tense spirit suddenly relax: "Shizi, why are you?"

   Qi Shuo turned his gaze to the entrance of the alley.

  Cheng Shu followed and saw that the man in black came over, because he was not walking fast with a person, and he looked more and more terrifying.

   He touched the saber in one hand and the robe in the other, ready with both hands: if he can beat him, he will fight, if he can't beat him, he will run with the prince.

   "Prince." The man in black stood still and saluted Qi Shuo.

  Cheng Shu suddenly looked at Qi Shuo, full of shock: "Sir, what's going on?"

   "He is my subordinate." Qi Shuo explained.

   "What about this?" Cheng Shu pointed at the man in black who was being controlled.

   The man hung his head and didn't react. He didn't know whether he was dead or fell into a coma.

   With Qi Shuo's calmness, after hearing Cheng Shu's question, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but after thinking about the relationship between the other party and Ah Hao, he endured it, and replied seriously: "This is to kill you."

  Cheng Shu: "..." He felt that Prince Jing was mocking him!

   "Why did he kill me?" Cheng Shu stepped forward and tore off the unconscious man's masked black turban, looked and looked, "I haven't seen it before."

   It was quietly dawning, and there were many people staying not far away, curiously pointing at this side.

   Qi Shuo said, "Let's go to Jinlinwei to meet Governor Cheng Da and talk about it."

   When Jin Linwei was mentioned, Cheng Shu excitedly patted Qi Shuo's arm: "Sir, I remember!"

   Qi Shuo was overjoyed, but he was calmer than Cheng Shu's excitement: "Let's talk about it at Jinlinwei."

   "Okay." Cheng Shu paused before taking a few steps, "I almost forgot, I'm going to be an errand today."

  Qi Shuo pointed at the unconscious man in black: "When I encounter this kind of thing, I don't feel at ease on the job. I'll send someone to take a leave of absence on behalf of Brother Cheng."

  Cheng Shu nodded and rushed to Jinlinwei with a lot of questions.

   Cheng Maoming heard that the two were coming, and immediately put down the affairs at hand, and was surprised when he saw the two men in black: "This is-"

   This kind of dress, at first glance, is dedicated to robbery.

   "Brother Cheng went out this morning and was attacked in an alley." Qi Shuo pointed to the unconscious man in black.

  Cheng Maoming's eyes flashed a cold light, and he looked at the other man in black: "Then this is the man of the prince?"

"That's right." Qi Shuo nodded and explained calmly: "Yesterday, I found that two criminals died of poisoning in Guiya, so I guessed that there were ghosts, so I deliberately spread the news that Brother Cheng had seen the criminals, to see if we could get rid of them. The inner ghost was brought out, but I didn't expect the fish to really take the bait."

  Cheng Shu was dumbfounded: "Sir, you thought yesterday that someone might assassinate me?"

   "Just try it out, the other party is too impatient."

   also proves the eagerness of those behind the scenes to disguise their identities.

   "But how do you know they'll do it in that alley?"

   "After drinking with Brother Cheng and returning to the house yesterday, I arranged for my subordinates to investigate. The road that Brother Cheng used to take from the General's Mansion to the Imperial City is the most suitable alley for hands-on work."

  Cheng Shu touched his nose in embarrassment.

   He was also drinking. He didn't know how to lie down on the bed until the end of the drink. Prince Jing even arranged these when he went back. This difference is too annoying.

  Cheng Maoming walked up to the man in black and looked at it: "I haven't seen this man before, but I already know it in my heart. The prince, give me this man."

   If it wasn't arranged by the surname Zhao, he wrote the word "Cheng" upside down.

   Qi Shuo nodded to his opponent, and his subordinate handed the unconscious man in black to two Jin Linwei.

   "Take good care of people, and if you make mistakes, you will come to see them." Cheng Maoming warned his subordinates.

"Yes."

   Cheng Maoming raised his hand and patted Cheng Shu's shoulder: "Don't worry, Young Master Cheng, I will arrange someone to protect your safety when I look back."

   "Should be useless."

   Cheng Maoming looked puzzled.

  Cheng Shu subconsciously straightened his back and said in a low voice, "I remember."

  Cheng Maoming was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Who is the offender?"

   "He is a soldier of the Xuanwu camp."

   Cheng Maoming's pupils shrank, obviously shocked.

   "Xuanwu Camp? Is Cheng Gongzi sure?"

   Xuanwu Camp is one of the Beijing camps, stationed on the outskirts of Beijing on weekdays.

"Sure. I was attacked and ran out of the alley and almost ran into a boy, and I suddenly remembered when I saw the boy crying loudly in his father's arms. I was walking on the street last year, and a boy was just because he was close to him. I was hit and cried, and the man who scared the boy was the one who wanted to commit the crime. I just glanced at random at the time, and I didn't leave a deep impression, so I never thought of it.” Cheng Shu kind of cleared the fog. Happy, "That person is wearing the clothes of Xuanwu Camp, you can't go wrong."

   "It's easy to know the origin." Cheng Maoming stroked his palm.

  Since he is a soldier of the Xuanwu Camp, he must know two people who are going to commit crimes, and then check the upper peak that governs them, and the line will be clear.

   By this time, Cheng Maoming instinctively felt uneasy.

   Being able to use the soldiers of the Xuanwu battalion and killing people in the Jinlin Guard, he is likely to find out a big trouble.

  But if you don't check it, it's impossible. First of all, the emperor can't explain it.

   At this time, a Jin Linwei walked in quickly: "The Governor, I have found the old king who is in charge of the torture tool!"

   "Where are the people?"

  Jin Linwei paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "In the abandoned dry well in the backyard of the yamen."

   Cheng Maoming heard this, raised his foot and walked out.

   Qi Shuo and Cheng Shu looked at each other and followed silently.

  The Jin Linwei saw that Cheng Maoming did not stop him, but he was surprised but did not dare to talk much, and the group quickly rushed there.
