Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 150 is him

   Old Wang had already been pulled up and lay on the ground beside the dry well, surrounded by some Jinlin guards, and they greeted Cheng Maoming.

  Cheng Maoming walked over with a sullen face, squatted down and looked at Lao Wang's body.

  Pharaoh does not seem to have any obvious trauma, but there are some scratches on the exposed skin, which should have been caused by falling into the well.

   He was so blessed, he grabbed Pharaoh's wrist with a handkerchief.

  Because he had been dead for a period of time, the other party's hand had turned purple, his nails were intact, and there was no half-moon purple spot.

   is that he thinks too much.

   This thought came to him, and his eyes fell on the arm that was exposed by the sleeve of the old king.

   There are several half-moon spots there.

  Cheng Maoming stood up, threw his handkerchief on the ground, and glanced at Qi Shuo.

  Pharaoh also died of a strange poison named Zixin.

   "Call Zuzu and carefully examine the cause of Pharaoh's death."

   There are many people, so Cheng Maoming didn't mention that Pharaoh died of poisoning, but asked a confidant: "The last person who saw Pharaoh yesterday, did you ask anything?"

   The confidant shook his head: "She took off a layer of skin and didn't explain anything useful. I think he might really not know it."

  Cheng Maoming frowned and said coldly, "Continue to investigate to see if there are any missing clues."

"Yes."

   Zhao Helin came over: "I heard that the old king who was in charge of the torture device died?"

  Cheng Maoming glanced at him and said indifferently, "Just heard?"

   "What does that mean, the Governor?"

   "What I mean is that Zhao Tongzhi should not just hear about it, but also help me to share my worries and find out who the ghost of Jinlinwei is as soon as possible."

   Zhao Helin's eyes flickered, and he said without changing his face: "It is the duty of a lower official to share the worries of the great governor."

  Cheng Maoming pulled the corner of his mouth and said word by word, "If I can think like Zhao Tongzhi, I will be relieved."

   The tension between the two made Jin Linwei who was present dare not say a word. It was not until Cheng Maoming left first that he felt that his breathing was much easier.

   Zhao Helin was very serious towards the hurried Zuo Zuo: "Check carefully, if you can't find it, I want you to look good!"

The assassination arranged by    failed, Zhao Helin was in a very bad mood, and his heart was gripped like walking on the edge of a cliff.

   At this point, his only confidence was the prince.

  If Cheng Maoming touched him, he would have trouble getting along with the prince. He would have to see if the other party had the courage.

  Cheng Maoming personally sent Qi Shuo and Cheng Shu outside the yamen, and his attitude was very affectionate: "I can't get out recently. When the matter is checked out, the prince and Cheng Gongzi will definitely enjoy drinking together."

   "No problem." Cheng Shu happily responded.

   Qi Shuo nodded and didn't say much.

   When I was walking back, the street was lively, and the faces of the pedestrians who came and went were more vivid than those who hurried on their way before dawn.

When passing that alley, Cheng Shu touched his arm through his clothes and sighed, "I won't dare to take shortcuts in the future. You don't know how scary the scene was. I was walking with a lantern, and suddenly found a side. The wall seems to be bulging, and I am wondering, the bulge moves, it looks like it's haunted!"

   Qi Shuo nodded solemnly: "It's really scary."

   "Prince—" Cheng Shu endured it, but couldn't help complaining, "Every time you answer so seriously, I think you're speaking the opposite."

   looks very stupid.

   Qi Shuo fell into silence.

   Is he such a person?

   Fortunately, Cheng Shu didn't really care. After complaining, he asked the doubts that he had not had time to ask: "Prince, where are the people you arranged to hide?"

   Qi Shuo smiled and glanced at his subordinates: "Tell Master Cheng where you were hiding at that time."

   "The little one is hanging on the wall, the other end of the wall."

  Cheng Shu was shocked and decided not to talk about such a frustrating topic: "That Zhao Tongzhi, shouldn't he be an inner ghost?"

"should be."

   "Why didn't Governor Cheng arrest him!"

   Seeing Qi Shuo's serious expression, Cheng Shu hurriedly said, "Sir, let's just chat casually, don't be too serious."

   Qi Shuo chuckled: "Maybe it's because you need evidence to arrest someone."

  Chengshu: "..."

have got to go!

  Cheng Maoming personally interrogated the man in black who assassinated Cheng Shu. Before he could use too many means, the man in black recruited.

   He worked with money, and the person who paid was Yang Wu, the leader of a group of idlers.

  Jin Linwei immediately dispatched to get people, but Yang Wu couldn't find them and brought back a group of idlers.

  The idle man who was showing off his might on weekdays got into the eggplants beaten by Jinlinwei Rushuang, completely wilted, and even scared to pee his pants.

   This kind of person, Cheng Maoming, didn't even ask, he just let his subordinates beat him and drag him out.

   The mob didn't even have the slightest heart to resist, the torture tools hadn't been loaded yet, and they even mentioned the fact that Yang Wu had a birthmark on his buttocks.

  Cheng Maoming sat on the sidelines and listened to his subordinates' interrogation, and his face became darker as he listened.

   What a mess!

   With a wink, several idlers were whipped.

   "I can't say anything useful, so don't even think about leaving." Jin Linwei, who was in charge of the interrogation, said coldly.

   Several idlers pondered hard, one of them suddenly glanced at Cheng Maoming, shivered and shrank back.

  Cheng Maoming got up and strode to the idle man.

   "What do you want to say?"

   The idle man's face was as white as paper, and he shook his head sharply: "No, nothing!"

  Cheng Maoming glanced at his subordinates.

  Jin Linwei came over with a whip.

   "I said, I said!" The idle man looked at his companions with fear on his face, "If Xiaomin said it, don't be angry, my lord."

   Cheng Maoming's face became colder.

  The idle man gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Wu still knows adults like this!"

   "Presumptuous!"

  Jin Linwei raised his whip and was stopped by Cheng Maoming: "You make it clear, what do you call me like this?"

  The idle man was so frightened that he sweated, and he stuttered as he spoke: "It's a big, big, a Jin Linwei like your lord..."

   Cheng Maoming saw that he was quite frightened, and said warmly: "Give him a cup of hot water."

   Seeing that the treatment of his companions has been significantly improved, another idle man said: "Xiaomin also saw it, that person is wearing Jinlinwei's clothes, but he is mighty."

   "When did you meet?"

   "Last year, Xiaomin and Ma Liu—" The idle man pointed to his companion who had hot water to drink, "We saw it together."

   "How does Yang Wu call that person?"

   The two idlers looked at each other, and one of them hesitated: "It seems to call him... Master Zhao..."

  Cheng Maoming's eyes flashed with joy, but his face did not change: "Do you still remember the appearance of that Master Zhao?"

   After listening to the description of the two stumbling, Cheng Maoming coldly ordered: "Please come over to Zhao Tongzhi."

   Zhao Helin received the message and went to the interrogation room in silence.

   Seeing Zhao Helin coming in, Cheng Maoming didn't give the two idlers time to think about it, and immediately asked, "Is it him?"

   The two idlers said in unison, "It's him!"

   Cheng Maoming looked over coolly.

   Zhao Helin looked confused: "Captain, what's the matter with calling the next official?"
