Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 142 Enthusiastic Prince Jing

  Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jin Linwei, had a hunch that he would be scolded when he entered the palace, but as expected he saw the cold face of the emperor.

   "Did you hear about Miss Lin being kidnapped when she was in Spring?"

   The General's Mansion and the Prince Jing's Mansion were going out to find people. Naturally, Jin Linwei reported the change. Cheng Maoming hurriedly said: "I have heard about it."

   Emperor Tai'an snorted coldly: "Things have been going on for the past year, but they haven't been resolved. Commander Cheng, you really disappointed me."

  Cheng Maoming immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake, knowing in his heart that the emperor was dissatisfied with the fact that the real person Mingxin had been missing for a long time.

   But he did his best, he just blamed that Mingxin Zhenren was too cunning and too capable of hiding.

   "The main culprit who kidnapped Miss Lin is up to you to interrogate yourself. Be sure to find out."

   "The minister leads the order."

   When Cheng Maoming retired, Emperor Tai'an asked King Wei: "Did the two girls in the General's House save themselves?"

   "Yes, they not only escaped, but also subdued two gangsters."

  Emperor Tai'an's eyes were deep, he didn't know what to think of, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "After all, she is a tiger girl in the general door. It's fine. Liu Chuan, send some gifts to the general's mansion to shock the two girls."

   This is not to investigate the matter of Lin Chan's abduction.

   King Wei secretly let out a sigh of relief.

   He couldn't say that he liked Miss Lin, but he didn't like other girls much. He didn't want to have to choose a concubine again.

   After Cheng Maoming left the palace, he went straight to the Shuntian government office, where two criminals were being tried.

   This is already the second day of the incident. Cheng Shu came to Shuntian Mansion again to inquire about the progress.

   The person who was actually in charge of the case was a push official surnamed Zhu, who was polite, but the progress was disappointing: "Both of them didn't speak up, and there was no clue for a while."

   "Don't speak?" Cheng Shu frowned, "Isn't there a need for punishment?"

   Zhu Tuiguan twitched the corner of his mouth.

  This one is not from Jin Linwei, so "punishment" is quite a slippery saying.

   "Have all the means you should have, but these two people are very hard-mouthed."

   "That means the punishment is useless. If it is used properly, there are still mouths that can't be pryed open?" Cheng Shu was quite dissatisfied.

   Cheng Maoming, who came over, heard this and couldn't help but look at Cheng Shu more, thinking that this young man has potential.

   "Zhu Tuiguan, take someone to **** the two criminals and hand them over to Governor Cheng Da to take them away." The Shuntian prefect who accompanied Cheng Maoming said.

   Zhu Tuiguan went to the prison to pick up people.

  Cheng Shu said hello to the governor of Shuntian and Cheng Maoming.

   "This is Cheng Shu, the grandson of the old lady of the General's House." The governor of Shuntian introduced Cheng Shu's identity to Cheng Maoming.

  Cheng Maoming smiled and said, "I have seen it. Master Cheng is working in the imperial city, right?"

  I don't know if he heard the words just now, or because of the same surname, Cheng Maoming had a good impression of this young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes.

   "The kid is serving as a bodyguard in the imperial city." Facing the intimidating commander of Jinlinwei, Cheng Shu restrained his spontaneity, but did not flinch, "Are those two scoundrels handing over to Jinlinwei for interrogation?"

   "Yes." Cheng Maoming patted Cheng Shu on the shoulder, "Young Master Cheng, rest assured, Jin Linwei is not afraid of being tough."

   "Thank you, Lord Cheng!" Cheng Shu clasped his fists.

When    left, the governor of Shuntian gave Cheng Shu a deep look, thinking that it was really strange that this embarrassed boy actually caught the eyes of Commander Cheng.

  Cheng Shu saw with his own eyes that the two gangsters were taken away by Jin Linwei, he walked back with his head sullen, and was stopped on the way.

   "Prince?" Looking at Qi Shuo who was alone, Cheng Shu asked, "Are you going out?"

   Qi Shuo smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go to the yamen to inquire about the progress, but I didn't expect to meet Cheng Gongzi."

   Hearing this, Cheng Shu sighed: "I went to ask and there was no progress at all, but just now they were picked up by Jin Linwei."

   "Jin Linwei took over?" Qi Shuo pointed at the teahouse not far away, "If Mr. Cheng is not busy, let's go to the teahouse to talk."

   "Okay!" Cheng Shu agreed without hesitation, apparently what Prince Jing's mansion did yesterday made him feel a lot closer.

   The two took their seats in the teahouse, and Qi Shuo raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Shu.

  Cheng Shu hurriedly thanked him, and his views on Qi Shuo changed again.

   Although the residence of the General and Prince Jing were very close, he had little contact with the prince. He was born noble and sick, so he couldn't be offered as a porcelain doll, he didn't have such careful patience.

   Now, it seems that Prince Jing's son does not say anything else, at least he doesn't have the arrogance of the royal children in dealing with people.

   "Yesterday, Mr. Cheng said that the bigger gangster looked familiar?" After chatting a few words about Jinlinwei's people, Qi Shuo turned to the topic.

  Cheng Shu was stunned: "Ah, yes, it looks a little familiar, but I thought later, maybe because that person has a popular face."

   "Although there is such a possibility, after all, it is the main culprit who kidnapped Miss Lin. Master Cheng thinks about it carefully, so as not to miss the clue."

   "I really can't remember." Cheng Shu looked helpless, "I have a good memory. If I have seen it, I should have some impression."

   "Maybe it's just a glimpse of familiarity left by passing by. Where does Mr. Cheng usually go and who does he come into contact with?"

   "I often drink with my friends when I'm not on business, and the people I meet are a bit mixed." Cheng Shu scratched his head, "If I go and look at that dog thing again, maybe I'll remember something."

   Qi Shuo got up: "Then go have a look."

  Cheng Shu blinked: "Now?"

  Is Prince Jing so resolute?

   He also stood up, a little uncertain: "Jin Linwei just took the person away, I don't know if I can see him."

   "We are the victim, and it is understandable to pay attention to progress."

  Cheng Shu nodded, feeling that something was wrong again.

us?

   I didn't expect that Prince Jing's enthusiasm would actually take the affairs of the General's Mansion as his own.

  Cheng Shu felt warm in his heart and secretly decided to make this friend.

When    walked out of the teahouse, Qi Shuo, an enthusiastic young man, finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lin, are they okay?"

  Cheng Shu didn't think too much about it, and said, "Please read the doctor, it's fine, just have a good rest."

   "That's good." Thinking of Lin Hao's torn palms, Qi Shuo lowered his eyes to cover his turbulent emotions.

  Cheng Shu didn't know what Qi Shuo was thinking, and said casually: "It's that Ah Hao suffered some skin trauma, and my aunt was so angry that she scolded those two dogs for a long time."

   "Skin trauma?" Qi Shuo said calmly, "Yesterday I accidentally saw the second girl wrapped in a white cloth on her right hand, did she hurt her hand?"

  Cheng Shu had anger on his face: "What's more, there are bruises from the fight—"

   Realizing that this kind of thing is inconvenient to talk to the male, Cheng Shu stopped the topic in time, but found that Qi Shuo looked a little wrong.

   "Prince?"

  Qi Shuo slowly pulled the corner of his lips, so that his exposed emotions subsided: "The palace has a secret ointment made in the palace, which is very effective for skin trauma. I will ask the little sister to send two boxes to the second girl."

   "Thank you, Prince."

   "Young Master Cheng is very polite." Qi Shuo subconsciously glanced in the direction of the General's Mansion and pursed his lips tightly.

   He couldn't wait any longer.
