"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. Would you like to go and have a look, Grand Governor?"

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

Cheng Maoming glanced at the Jinlin guard: "When?"

"It was when we were hunting down the fish that slipped through the net of the group that hid the gunpowder -" the subordinate replied, secretly regretting that he had spoken too quickly.

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

Chen Mu has been moved to the east room, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth and his hands tied tightly.

Cheng Maoming took one look at it and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay, okay, it's really this bad guy. Take him back to the Yamen first."

The subordinates he brought all responded, and stepped forward to hold Chen Mu firmly and escort him out.

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

"Your Majesty, you really helped me a lot." Cheng Maoming gave Qi Shuo a long bow.

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

"This is not polite, I really appreciate the prince." Cheng Maoming took Qi Shuo's hand and spoke in a particularly sincere tone.

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

You don't have to hold on so tightly.

He took out his hand without leaving any trace and said with a smile: "The villain not only killed innocent people indiscriminately, but also intended to provoke disputes between the two countries. He had sinister intentions. Any Zhou person who cares about his family and country would do this, not to mention that I am still a descendant of the clan."

Cheng Maoming burst into tears: "I understand."

Just listen to these scenes. After all, Prince Jing was sending him benefits, and he would be very ignorant if he didn't appreciate it.

"How did the Crown Prince discover this person?"

"It's a long story. I'll go into more detail when the Governor is finished."

"That bad guy——"

Qi Shuo smiled slightly: "Today, many people can see that the person was captured by Jinlin Guard."

"How can I be so embarrassed about such a big contribution——"

"In my opinion, the credit for this should go to the Governor. Jinlin Guards started hunting this person very early, and they put in more effort than the Criminal Department, Wucheng Military and Horse Division and other yamen..."

Cheng Maoming felt relieved and emotional at the same time.

Look at Prince Jing, he is very good at talking and doing things at a young age. If his son can do this - bah, he has no son.

Cheng Maoming felt sour after taking back his unrestrained thoughts.

Why doesn’t he have a son?

Qi Shuo keenly caught the flash of regret in Cheng Maoming's eyes, and was a little confused: this man's reaction was somewhat different from what he expected.

"Your Majesty, I will go back to interrogate the villain first, and then I will report the situation to the Emperor. I'll excuse you."

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

The cloth gagged Chen Mu's mouth has been taken out, and the two hidden fangs have also been 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 and said nothing.

Until now, he was still confused about his arrest. After thinking about it, he could only blame it on the person who disguised himself as Du Qing. He didn't know when the flaw was exposed.

"Why did you kill Princess Yuliu?"

Chen Mu still didn't speak.

"Don't tell me?" Cheng Maoming looked at the prisoner who was as hard as stone, and his anger burst out.

If this bitch hadn't caused trouble, how could he be so busy and worry about being scolded? Gu Zhu

"Go and call those teahouse waiters." Cheng Maoming ordered.

Jin Linwei worked very quickly. It didn't take long for several teahouse waiters to be brought in. They all looked very frightened.

Cheng Maoming comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid. I asked you to come here to identify whether this person is the suspected murderer I saw that day."

"That's him!" As soon as he saw Chen Mu, a waiter shouted.

Another waiter also recognized him: "Yes, it's him!"

"confirmed?"

"It's true, he was the one who went to the back that day."

After receiving a positive answer from the teahouse waiter, Cheng Maoming smiled and ordered his men to send the witness out.

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

Chen Mu finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "So what if I'm convicted?"

When he fell into the hands of Jin Linwei, he never thought that he would still be alive. It was enough to cause such a big disturbance with one life.

Cheng Maoming couldn't help but frown.

This is a tough nut to crack.

"If you don't say yes, then it depends on whether you can withstand those instruments of torture." Cheng Maoming sneered.

Chen Mu glanced at him and sneered.

"Do it."

As Cheng Maoming spoke, bursts of screams soon sounded in the execution room.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Jin Lin’s guard’s hands were sore from the torture: “Captain, he has fainted.”

Cheng Maoming secretly said that he was unlucky and had to go to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Tai'an.

The disappearance of the maid Yu Liu could not be concealed for a long time. If someone rushed to report it to the emperor, he would be left with nothing to eat. Fortunately, Prince Jing gave him such a big credit and gave him a amulet.

On the way into the palace, Cheng Maoming thanked Qi Shuo sincerely.

After hearing the report from the chamberlain, Emperor Tai'an knew that there was a new situation regarding the murder of Princess Lingque. Perhaps nothing good had happened during this period of time. He had a bad intuition. When Cheng Maoming came in and knelt down to apologize, he felt as if his heart had stopped.

He wanted to see what else could happen.

"Wei Chen has received news that a Yu Liu maid has disappeared... I am guilty!" Cheng Maoming knelt on the ground, pleading guilty.

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

There is no harm in smashing a bunch of wine and rice bags to death, but the white jade paperweight cannot be wasted.

"Why are you missing?" Emperor Tai'an almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

Cheng Maoming lowered his head and listened, secretly saying that he was lucky.

Based on his understanding of the emperor, the calmer the emperor behaved, the angrier he became. Fortunately, his amulet had not been used yet.

"There are people watching around the guest house day and night. We haven't seen Maid Yu Liu come out. We are currently searching the interior of the guest house and notifying all the city gates to carefully check the passers-by..."

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

Cheng Maoming wanted to cry.

He thought so too. Who knows why a big living person disappeared.

Taking a secret look at Emperor Tai'an's face, Cheng Maoming decisively used the amulet: "I have something to report."

"Say." When he said this word, blue veins popped up on Emperor Tai'an's forehead.

Is there anything else to worry about?
