Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 233

   Chapter 233 found

  Cheng Maoming shook the portrait of Hu Da: "You have to eat and stay when you go out of the city. Knowing what the maid looks like in disguise, there is hope to find her back."

   Over the past year, due to the impetuousness of Emperor Pingle's side, there has been a lot of trouble, and the management of unfamiliar faces around the capital has become more and more strict, unless the maid does not enter the city, does not stay overnight, and chooses barren mountains and wild mountains to travel. In fact, even if the missing maid has the ability to survive in the wilderness, she can't completely avoid the official road.

   "I'll make arrangements now, and I'd like to thank the prince today." Cheng Maoming bowed his hands to Qi Shuo, thanked him sincerely, and hurriedly left Honglu Temple.

   "Master Ouyang, we also went back."

   "Prince and Lin Er, it's good to go." Honglu Siqing personally sent Qi Shuo and Lin Hao outside, and after watching the two go away, they did not go back to the yamen, but rushed to the guest house.

  If the missing Yuliu maid can't be found, he won't be able to beg good for him, the minister of Honglu Temple.

   On their way back, Lin Hao was a little worried: "Do you think the missing maid can be found?"

   "It depends on Jin Linwei's ability. We have already done what we can."

   The hawker who happened to sell candied haws passed by shouting, Qi Shuo bought a candied haws and handed it to Lin Hao.

  Lin ate a sugar-coated red fruit, and the sweet and sour taste made her no longer think about too heavy things: "Ah Shuo, have you noticed that Governor Cheng has a strange attitude towards you?"

   "He might be grateful for helping him a few times." Qi Shuo guessed casually and cared too much.

   For him, giving credit to Cheng Maoming is nothing but mutual benefit, and does not expect the other party to appreciate it. However, after dealing with him several times, the commander of Jin Linwei was not as ruthless as he imagined.

   "Maybe." Lin Hao still felt that something was wrong, but his intuition told her that it was not a bad thing, so he didn't look into it further.

   Instead, Qi Shuo saw that she had finished chatting and concentrated on eating the candied haws, a little unsteady: "Those three maids—"

  Lin Hao was startled, smiled and handed the candied haws over: "Ashuo, eat candied haws."

   Being so honest, how can he look like a little prince, no wonder in her previous life, she has always been the son of the sick child next door.

   In the young girl's smile, Qi Shuo took a bite of the candied haws.

   "Big Brother?" A shocked voice came.

   Qi Shuo looked over holding the candied haws, and saw his younger brother who forgot to close his mouth.

   "What?" Qi Shuo asked lightly, as if the embarrassment that passed by had never appeared.

   "Oh, it's nothing, I'll go first." Qi Huan pointed to Prince Jing's mansion not far away, said hello to Lin Hao and walked away quickly.

   Looking back, he couldn't help but talk to Qi Qiong about his elder brother's embarrassment: "Little sister, didn't you see that elder brother is eating candied haws while walking on the street!"

   Qi Qiong was also startled: "All alone?"

   "No, there is still Miss Lin Er."

   The little county master regained his indifference, even a little moved: "I said."

   Qi Huan blinked: "No, didn't you hear clearly, eldest brother, a big man is eating candied fruit on the street."

  Qi Qiong gave him a white look: "Big brother must be accompanying Ah to eat deliciously, all to make Ah happy. You treat him as you, and only make the Hua Niang on the Jinshui River happy."

   Qi Huan: "..." How could this compare him!

  Hu Da's portrait played a great role. Three days later, Cheng Maoming received a secret report that "Hu Da" was found.

   Cheng Maoming was overjoyed, and soon saw the missing Yuliu maid.

   The Yuliu maid who was hastily escorted was still wearing men's clothes, and her face had returned to its original appearance.

   "How did she disguise?"

   A Jin Linwei offered a small box, Cheng Maoming took it and opened it, holding a soft and elastic mask with his fingers.

   "What is this made of?" He rubbed the mask, but couldn't distinguish the material, so he put the mask back in the box, and carefully looked at the jade maid.

There may be preconceived reasons for   . The more I look at it, the more I think the jade maid looks like Hu Da.

   "Your name is Bailing, right?"

  The maid Yuliu stared at Cheng Maoming and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to see our lord."

  Cheng Maoming smiled: "You explain the problem first."

   Yuliu's maid pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.

   "The punishment." Cheng Maoming commanded with an expressionless face, and sat down on the chair.

   Yuliu Maid's eyes widened a bit, revealing disbelief.

   Just ask her and start using torture?

   Soon a Jin Linwei picked up a long whip and slapped the Yuliu maid with force, and the Yuliu maid immediately screamed.

   This scream did not affect the speed at which the whip fell.

  The burning pain swept through her body, making her face pale and sweating.

   "I'm from Yuliu, why do you torture me? Our adults will find you, and we will definitely find you—" the Yuliu maid shouted.

  Cheng Maoming rubbed his chin and his eyes flashed.

   Judging from the reaction of the jade maid, it was not a specially trained dead man, so it would be easy to handle.

   "Continue the torture." He spit out these words coldly.

  There are not so many hard bones in this world, and there is almost no possibility for ordinary people without special training to withstand severe punishment. As for how to explain to the Yuliu envoy in the future? Hehe, who said that the maid Yuliu was back.

  Jin Linwei dipped his whip in the salt water, and threw a beautiful whip flower on Yuliu Maid's body.

   Yuliu maid's skin was ripped open, and the salt water penetrated into the fresh flesh and blood, and the pain made people tremble.

   Seeing that the caning could not stop, she finally collapsed and shouted: "I said, I said!"

  Jin Linwei glanced at Cheng Maoming and got a signal to step aside with the whip.

  Cheng Maoming looked at the pale-faced Yuliu maid and sighed: "Cooperate early, or you won't endure hardship."

   Yuliu Maid's eyelids moved, tears streaming down her cheeks in pain.

   "Tell me, what's your purpose of quietly leaving the capital?"

   Yuliu's maid resisted with silence for a moment, met Cheng Maoming's icy eyes, and choked up, "Sir, let me send the news of the princess' death back to Yuliu..."

   "Where's the letter?"

   "No... no letters."

"Um?"

  The maid Yuliu shuddered subconsciously: "Really not, I am the princess' personal maid, and the news I bring back will be believed..."

  Cheng Maoming raised his eyebrows: "Then tell me how you got this mask, did you do it?"

   Intercepting the Yuliu maid who reported the message has completed the task for Jin Linwei, but the origin of the mask must be figured out, otherwise, someone will easily sneak out, and it will be hard to prevent.

   "No, not me."

"Who is that?"

   Yuliu Maid was silent again.

  Cheng Maoming chuckled: "It seems that the punishment is not enough. Come on, change the punishment."

   "I said!" The maid Yuliu shouted in horror, "The mask is... a man who trimmed flowers and trees quietly stuffed it for me..."

  A man who trims flowers and trees?

  Cheng Maoming's face sank.
