   Chapter 228 Gratitude

   "Really found it?" Cheng Maoming believed Qi Shuo's words without any doubt, but the surprise was too sudden and huge, making him feel like he was dreaming.

   Qi Shuo was very calm: "It looks like the person in the portrait, do you want to go and see it?"

  What else could Cheng Maoming say, he immediately took people to Du Qing's residence, and when they got there, one of them said in surprise, "Hey, this place has been searched before."

  Cheng Maoming glanced at the Jin Linwei: "When?"

   "It was when we were chasing the stray fish in the gang hiding gunpowder—" the subordinate replied, secretly regretting that he had just spoken too fast.

   "A bunch of trash!" Cheng Maoming scolded and strode in.

  Chen Mu has been transferred to the East Room, with a cloth ball in his mouth and his hands tied tightly.

   Cheng Maoming glanced at it and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay, it's really this bad guy, take him back to the yamen first."

The subordinates that    brought with him, Qi Qi, stepped forward and held Chen Mu down and escorted them out of the house.

   Although Cheng Maoming was impatient, he slowly fell behind and met Qi Shuo, who did not follow up.

   "The prince really helped me a lot." Cheng Maoming gave Qi Shuo a long bow.

   Qi Shuo still looked indifferent: "The Governor is very polite."

   "This is not polite, I really thank the prince." Cheng Maoming took Qi Shuo's hand, and his tone was extraordinarily sincere.

   Qi Shuo's eyes fell on that hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

   You don't have to hold it so tightly.

   He pulled out his hand without a trace and said with a smile: "The gangster not only kills innocent people indiscriminately, but also intends to provoke disputes between the two countries, with sinister intentions. Any Dazhou people who care about their family and country will do this, not to mention that I am still a clan child."

  Cheng Maoming burst into tears: "I understand."

   It's enough to listen to the words of these scenes. After all, it's still the Prince Jing who gave him welfare. If he didn't understand it, he would be too ignorant.

   "How did the prince find out about this person?"

   "It's a long story. I'll talk more about it when the governor is done with this."

   "That bad guy—"

   Qi Shuo smiled slightly: "Today many people can see that Jin Linwei took them away."

   "How can you be so embarrassed for such a big credit——"

   "In my opinion, this credit should be attributed to the Great Governor. Jin Linwei started to hunt down this person from a very early time, and it was more hard work than the Ministry of Punishment, Wucheng Bingma Division and other yamen..."

   Cheng Maoming was both relieved and emotional.

  Look at the Prince Jing, he is more able to talk and do things at a young age. If his son can do this—bah, he has no son.

   Taking back the thoughts of letting go, Cheng Maoming felt sour.

   Why doesn't he have a son!

  Qi Shuo keenly captured the fleeting regret in Cheng Maoming's eyes, and he was a little dazed: this person's reaction was a little different from what he expected.

   "Sir, I'll go back and interrogate the villain first, and then report the situation to the emperor. I'm sorry."

After saying goodbye to Qi Shuo, Cheng Maoming hurried back to Jinlin Wei Yamen.

   Chen Mu's cloth ball was taken out, and the two hidden fangs were also found.

  Cheng Maoming glanced at the man whose hands and feet were fixed by iron rings, and asked, "What's your name?"

  Chen Mu raised his eyelids without saying a word.

   Up to now, he is still confused about his arrest, and after thinking about it, he can only blame Yi Rongcheng and Du Qing's people.

   "Why did you kill Princess Yuliu?"

   Chen Mu still did not speak.

   "Don't tell me?" Cheng Maoming looked at the stone-hard prisoner, and his anger went up.

   If it wasn't for this dog messing up, how could he be so busy and worry about being scolded!

   "Go and call those restaurant guys." Cheng Maoming ordered.

  Jin Linwei did things very quickly, and it didn't take long for a few restaurant staff to be brought in, all of whom looked quite frightened.

   Cheng Maoming reassured: "Don't be afraid, I called you here to identify whether this person is the suspect you met that day."

   "It's him!" As soon as he saw Chen Mu, a guy called out.

   Another guy also recognized it: "That's right, it's him!"

"confirmed?"

   "No mistake, he was the one who went to the back that day."

   Got a positive answer from the restaurant staff, Cheng Maoming smiled and ordered his subordinates to send the witness out.

   "Even if you don't say anything, you will still be convicted." Cheng Maoming took a few steps closer, staring at the expressionless prisoner.

  Chen Mu finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "What about conviction?"

When    fell into the hands of Jin Linwei, he never thought that he would still be alive. One life to stir up such a storm is enough.

   Cheng Maoming couldn't help frowning.

   This is a tough nut to crack.

   "If you don't say yes, then see if you can withstand those torture instruments." Cheng Maoming sneered.

   Chen Mu glanced at him and sneered.

   "Hands on."

   As Cheng Maoming spoke, screams of screams soon sounded in the torture room,

  I don't know how long it took, the hand of Jin Linwei who was tortured was sore: "Captain, he passed out."

   Cheng Mao secretly said that he was unlucky, so he had to go to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Tai'an.

  The fact that Yuliu maid disappeared for a long time could not be concealed. If someone reported to the emperor first, then he would not be able to eat and leave. Fortunately, Prince Jing gave him such a big credit and gave him an amulet.

   Cheng Maoming thanked Qi Shuo sincerely on the way to the palace.

   Emperor Tai'an heard the report from the chamberlain and knew that there was something new about the murder of Princess Lingque. Perhaps there was nothing good in this period of time. His intuition was not good.

   He wanted to see what else could happen.

   "Wei Chen received news that a jade maid is missing... This minister is guilty!" Cheng Maoming knelt on the ground and buried his head in plea.

   Emperor Tai'an reached out and touched the white jade paperweight, took a deep breath, and didn't smash the paperweight out.

   It's okay to smash a wine bag and rice bag to death, you can't waste a white jade paperweight.

   "How did you disappear?" Emperor Tai'an almost squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

  Cheng Maoming lowered his head and listened, secretly saying a fluke.

   With what he knew about the emperor, the more calm the emperor behaved, the more angry he became. Fortunately, his amulet hadn't been used yet.

   "There are people watching all around the guest house day and night, and the maid Yuliu has never come out. Now the interior of the guest house is being searched, and the city gates are notified to carefully check the passing pedestrians..."

   Hearing Cheng Maoming's report, Emperor Tai'an laughed angrily: "I didn't see anyone coming out, and there is no guest house. Can a big living person turn into a bird and fly out?"

  Cheng Maoming wanted to cry.

   He also thought so, who knows how a big living person disappeared.

   Taking a peek at Emperor Tai'an's face, Cheng Maoming decisively used the amulet: "Wei Chen has something to report."

   "Speak." When he uttered the word, blue veins appeared on Tai'an's forehead.

  Is there anything bad?

  Cheng Maoming stabilized his voice: "The murderer of Princess Lingque has been caught."
