Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 163

   Chapter 163 Arrest

  Cheng Maoming laughed and waited for Qi Shuo to explain his intention.

   He wanted to see what Prince Jing was going to do.

"I went to Jinxiu Street that day, and found a few people acting sneakily, back and forth as if stepping on the spot. I thought, Jinxiu Street is a face among the many streets in the capital, and I will show it to Yu Liu soon. Come here, if these people do any damage, wouldn't the whole world be ridiculed..."

  Cheng Maoming's temple jumped.

  What did Prince Jing want to say, I never realized that this was a chatter!

   As for Qi Shuo's mention of someone acting sneakily, Cheng Maoming didn't take it to heart.

  The capital is prosperous and prosperous, but what is the lack of a small night for nothing?

   This is the responsibility of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and they can't get into the eyes of Jin Linwei.

Qi Shuo finally finished laying the groundwork, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said lightly: "Since we have met, we can't turn a blind eye, so I arranged for guards to follow, but I did not expect to make a surprising discovery, these people are hiding in the place where they live. Lots of gunpowder—"

   "Pfft!" Before Qi Shuo could finish speaking, Cheng Maoming spit out a sip of tea.

   He choked for a moment, coughing until tears came out, and asked with red eyes, "The prince said what did they hide?"

   "Gunpowder."

  Cheng Maoming was shocked and speechless.

  Why did Prince Jing say these words in such a plain tone, so that he was not mentally prepared at all!

   "Is the prince sure it's gunpowder?"

  Qi Shuo nodded: "Sure. Visually measure the weight of the gunpowder. Once it is ignited, the consequences will be disastrous."

   "Where do they live?"

   "They live near Changchun Street, and it is very convenient to go to Jinxiu Street."

   Cheng Maoming's eyes sank.

   If there are casualties when the Yuliu messenger arrives, it will be an earth-shattering event.

   But he still has many doubts.

   "Prince...why did you tell me this?"

   Qi Shuo was astonished: "The first thing that came to my mind was the Grand Governor. Or, are there other yamen better suited to handle this matter?"

   Cheng Maoming was silent.

   was actually a little moved.

   "So the prince thinks they intend to bomb Jinxiu Street?"

   Qi Shuo said sternly: "I just guess that they may do evil, and bombing Jinxiu Street is also a possibility, or they may guess wrong, maybe they just like to store gunpowder and play."

  Cheng Maoming: "..."

   After a while, he said, "It's not easy for the prince to discover this."

  Qi Shuo remembered Lin Hao's words, and a smile overflowed his lips: "It's purely a coincidence."

  Cheng Maoming silently looked away.

   Prince Jing laughed so strangely!

Qi Shuo took a sip from the teacup, and said indifferently, "I think it's okay to pay more attention, if you make a mistake, you'll be fined, if these people really have bad intentions and are killed by the Governor in advance, that's a great achievement. One piece."

  Cheng Maoming's heart moved, and he said calmly: "That is also the credit of the prince."

  Qi Shuo smiled: "I am a leisurely and wealthy little prince, what kind of credit do you want, don't scare me, the governor."

   Cheng Maoming gave Qi Shuo a deep look: "If there is a situation, I will tell the prince in time."

   Prince Jing made him more and more impressive.

   Thinking about the world's impression of Prince Jing, Cheng Maoming sighed.

  A lot of people and things can't be seen on the surface.

   But what does this have to do with him, it's obviously not a bad thing for a smart person like Prince Jing to be good friends.

   "Then I would like to thank the Governor." Qi Shuo got up and left.

  Cheng Maoming immediately arranged for his most trusted subordinates to lead people to raid the places of Chen Mu and others.

  According to the information provided by Qi Shuo, these people would go out during the day, and the two stayed behind. If you want to catch everything in one go, naturally you have to wait until those people come back.

   Dozens of Jinlin Guards were quietly hiding nearby, waiting patiently.

  The sun moved west a little bit, and the sky gradually sank. In that humble house, people entered one after another.

   "How many are there?"

   "Six, it seems that there is one less."

   "Then just wait."

   Waited for another quarter of an hour.

  The twilight has cast a dark veil on the street of the house, and the lurking Jinlinwei is anxious.

   "Boss, are you still waiting?"

  , headed by Jin Linwei, stared at the door with a heavy expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "Close the net!"

   gave the agreed signal, and the Jinlin Guards who were hiding in various places gathered together and kicked open the courtyard door.

   It was just when the smoke from the kitchen was about to eat dinner, and a few people were sitting around the stone table in the courtyard chatting, and the sound made several people bounce.

   A team of Jinlin Guards rushed in, holding a long knife in their hands, aggressively.

"You are--"

   In order to hide, these Jinlin guards all wore casual clothes.

   "Jin Linwei investigates the case." Jin Linwei, headed by him, showed his waist card and strode inside.

   "Sir, have you misunderstood, we are all good people who keep their own feet——"

   "Grab it." Jin Linwei, the leader, said coldly.

  For Jin Linwei, it doesn't matter if you arrest the wrong person, if you really arrest the wrong person, just let it go. Do the arrested ones still complain about grievances? If it's not wrong, that's fine.

   So grabbing it first is the most worry-free and labor-saving.

   Several people didn't expect that there was no room for manoeuvre. After hearing the order of Jin Linwei, the leader, their expressions changed, and they fled everywhere.

   Seeing them running away, Jin Linwei, the leader, was even more certain, and said loudly, "None of them are allowed to go away!"

   There are eight people in the yard, and there are dozens of Jinlin guards, so everyone has to face three or four Jinlin guards.

  Although these eight people were outstanding, they gradually fell behind.

  The sound of fierce fighting rang out with the darkness of the night. The neighbors looked around and saw Jin Linwei, who was guarding the surrounding area with a long knife.

In the chaos of   , a man hidden in the dark stared there with a grim expression, and clenched his fists hard.

   These officers and soldiers came without warning, how did they leak their tracks?

  Du Qing——

   Chen Mu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stepped back.

   "Stop!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, and someone came with a knife.

  Chen Mu ran away.

   "There's another one here!" Jin Linwei, who was chasing behind, shouted loudly.

   Chen Mu simply turned around and killed Jin Linwei who was chasing after him.

  The young body spurted blood, Chen Mu deftly avoided it, rushed into the night, and the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from behind.

   More footsteps sounded, and the shouting continued.

   He kept his feet and the wind whistled in his ears. It was obviously the spring wind blowing in the green world, but it was a cold wind for him, and it formed a solid ice in his heart.

   The knock on the door was urgent, and a question came from inside: "Who?"

  Chen Mu gritted his teeth: "It's me."

   After a little hesitation, the door was pulled open.

  Chen Mu stepped in.

  Du Qing plugged the door, a little surprised by Chen Mu's embarrassment: "How do you—"

  A hand was as fast as lightning, grabbing at his throat.

   In a short period of time, it was just a few moves, Du Qing was angry and startled: "What are you crazy about?"

  Chen Mu was even more angry and showed no mercy: "I want to ask you why you told me!"
