Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 227 Lucky Star

   got the desired information, Lin Hao and Qi Shuo left the place where the man was being held.

   Sitting down at a tea shop not far from Du Qing's residence, Qi Shuo instructed to go down: "Notify Xuan Yi that you can take people directly."

   After letting his subordinates pretend to be officials and take away the fake Du Qing, the residence has been guarded, and there is no news of anyone coming out. If the fake Du Qing didn't lie, then Chen Mu must still be hiding there.

  Lin Hao took a sip of tea and sighed with emotion: "It's really cautious."

   There are officials searching everywhere. In order to find the murderer of Princess Lingque, it is almost a carpet-like search. At this time, Chen Muruo fled rashly when he saw the fake Du Qing being taken away, and there was nowhere to go. Hiding there can last at least for a while, and you may have a chance after the most stressful time.

   Chen Mu is such a cautious person. In her previous life, she was careful in every possible way, but she still did not escape the pursuit under his leadership.

  Lin Hao sighed and looked at Qi Shuo who was sitting across from him, and his heart became calm again.

   Fengshui took turns, this time Chen Mu was hunted down.

  When the fake Du Qing was taken away, the courtyard door was not locked in time, which was convenient for Xuan Yi and others. Leaving a few people guarding around the house, Xuan Yi led the two of them lightly and walked in.

  The firewood has been piled up outside the firewood room. The firewood room is stuffy and hot, and people sweat when they enter. Xuan went straight to the two large jars in the corner, lifted the lid of one of the jars, which was filled with sour pickles, and the other large jar was filled with a small half-jar of brown rice.

   Xuan Yichong nodded his head.

   The subordinates understood, picked up a water ladle from the place full of debris, and turned the brown rice ladle to the ground, and it didn't take long for the bottom of the tank to be exposed.

   There is a bulge at the bottom of the cylinder.

  's subordinate looked at Genichi with questioning eyes.

   Xuan Yi leaned over and stretched out his hand to hold down the bulge. Although he didn't exert any force, he understood the purpose of the bulge.

   He took a step back, took out a fire stick from his arms and lit a handful of thin firewood, then grabbed the bulge and pulled it suddenly, throwing the flaming firewood into the hole that suddenly appeared.

   Almost instantly, a person jumped out from under the tank.

   Chen Mu's skills are very good, but he jumped out from the bottom of the tank to face the three people who had been prepared for a long time. This absolute disadvantage made him lose the possibility of escape.

   He was hit the moment he jumped out, and it didn't take long for Xuan Yi to control him.

   Xuan Yi decisively squeezed his mouth open and stuffed a ball of cloth into it, and handed it over to his subordinates to take care of him, and returned to Qi Shuo.

   "Did you confirm it?"

   "The subordinate has confirmed that it is the person in the portrait."

   Qi Shuo nodded and looked at Lin Hao: "Is there anything you want to ask him?"

   Lin Hao shook his head: "No, let's send him to Jinlinwei as agreed."

   Emperor Pingle's side has been deployed for many years, and there are many people hiding in the capital. There is no need for her and Ah Shuo to stand on the bright side.

   "Then I'll take you home first."

   Lin Hao did not refuse, and accompanied him back to the general's mansion by Qi Shuo, looking at his leaving back with envy.

   She also wanted to go to Jinlinwei together, but it was inconvenient.

   Qi Shuo did not see Cheng Maoming at Jinlinwei Yamen.

   "The Governor has gone to the guest house."

   "When will you be back?"

   Jin Linwei, who greeted Qi Shuo, looked embarrassed: "This is not good. If the prince is in a hurry, let someone run over and take a look."

  As Cheng Maoming's cronies, of course Jin Linwei knew that the Grand Governor treated Prince Jing in a different way, so he did not dare to neglect him.

   Qi Shuo was not polite: "I'm sorry, I'll wait for him at the teahouse opposite."

  Jin Linwei quickly ordered one of his men to go to the guest house.

  Cheng Maoming, who was in the guest house at this time, was in a daze.

   A jade maid has disappeared!

   When he heard the report, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

  The emperor specially instructed that he would never allow a piece of paper to be returned to Yuliu, but as a result, there was a big living person missing, and the worst thing was the Yuliu maid!

After Princess Lingque was killed, the Honglu Guest House where the envoys of Yuliu lived was stared at without a blind spot. As long as the Yuliu people walked out of the entrance of the guesthouse, no matter where they went, people would follow secretly, even the birds flying out of the guesthouse. Regardless of whether it is a carrier pigeon or not, shoot it down and talk about it.

   So strictly guarded, there was no jade maid.

The death of Princess Lingque Everyone in the capital knows that if someone sends a letter to Yu Liu, it can't be stopped, but a Da Zhou person ran to say that your princess died in the capital of Da Zhou, it is still a question how much Yu Liu will believe. But what about the maid next to Princess Lingque?

  Cheng Maoming was so anxious that he saw gold stars, and slapped the subordinate who was in charge of staring at the guest house: "Bastard, why are you staring at people?"

   The subordinate who was beaten was also very aggrieved: "The subordinate surrounded the guest house according to your instructions, and there is absolutely no Yuliu maid out of the guest house door."

   "Absolutely didn't go out? What about that person? Did he grow wings and fly out?"

   The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to look at Cheng Maoming's furious expression, so he said, "Even if you grow wings and fly out, you will be shot down."

   That's what happened to the birds that flew out of the guest house.

   "So, people are still in the guest house?"

   The subordinates dare not say a word.

   The guest house used to house the envoys of Yuliu is not very big. I have searched it several times, and there is no shadow of the maid at all.

   "Keep looking!"

  Cheng Maoming turned around with his hands behind his back, worried about reporting to the emperor that the maid of Yuliu was missing.

   A Jin Linwei came over and said, "Captain, Prince Jing is waiting for you at the teahouse opposite the Yamen, saying that there is an urgent matter."

   "Go and tell Prince Jing, I can't leave here." Cheng Maoming's first reaction was to refuse, watching his subordinates go out, and suddenly shouted, "Wait."

   The subordinate stopped and looked at him puzzled.

   "Let's go." Cheng Maoming explained a few words and hurried to the teahouse opposite Jinlinwei Yamen.

  Qi Shuo drank tea slowly, guessing the situation on the other side of the guest house, heard footsteps and looked towards the door of the private room.

   The door of the room was quickly opened, and Cheng Maoming strode in: "Let the prince wait for a long time."

   Until standing here, he still couldn't understand his behavior.

  There was such a big thing in the guest house, and he had no intention to deal with other things at all, but thinking that it was Prince Jing, he wanted to meet him for no reason.

  What good news will Prince Jing send again?

The thought of    passed by in a flash, and Cheng Maoming didn't want to admit it.

   He is not such a superstitious person.

   Qi Shuo put down the tea cup: "I heard that the Governor is busy, so I shouldn't bother, but there is a new situation on my side. After thinking about it, it is best to inform the Governor."

   "What's the situation?" Cheng Maoming uncontrollably raised a trace of anticipation, and then secretly despised himself.

  How could there always be something good coming to your door? As the commander of Jinlinwei, you can't hold such a naive idea of ​​​​getting something for nothing.

   "That's it, by chance, I found the wanted criminal who killed Princess Lingque." Qi Shuo said lightly.

  Cheng Maoming: !

   He knew that Prince Jing was his lucky star!
