Chapter 148 Remember

The alley was neither long nor short. Cheng Shu took steps with his long legs and used all his strength, and soon he saw the light at the entrance of the alley.

That was the morning sun trying to break through the darkness and spread the morning light to the world.

He rushed out like a fly and suddenly saw a child standing there blankly.

Cheng Shu dodged to the side in a hurry, but because his body turned too fast, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The frightened child burst into tears.

A man rushed over and hugged the child: "Baoer, are you okay?"

The boy continued crying and pointed at Cheng Shu.

"What's wrong with you? Rushing around so early in the morning!" The man glared at Cheng Shu.

Cheng Shu, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to be frightened, staring at the father and son.

A crying boy hiding in his father's arms, and his father with an angry face - he thought of something in a flash and jumped up suddenly.

The man dodged quickly with the child in his arms, and saw the reckless boy walking towards him with an excited look on his face.

The man hurried away with the child, cursing as he walked: "What a psychopath I met so early in the morning."

When he turned around, he found that the lunatic had actually taken two quick steps in this direction. His face immediately changed and he started to jog.

Cheng Shu kept staring at the father and son until the man in black dragged another man in black out of the alley, and then he remembered to continue running.

He turned around and almost bumped into someone.

The man reached out and supported him: "Brother Cheng."

The familiar voice suddenly relaxed Cheng Shu's tense spirit: "Prince, why is it you?"

Qi Shuo looked towards the entrance of the alley.

Cheng Shu looked over and saw the man in black walking towards him. He looked even more creepy because he was walking slowly with someone.

He touched his sword with one hand and held up the hem of his robe with the other, making preparations for both situations: if he could win, he would fight; if he couldn't, he would run away with the prince.

"Prince." The man in black stopped and saluted Qi Shuo.

Cheng Shu suddenly looked at Qi Shuo, full of shock: "Prince, what's going on?"

"He is my subordinate." Qi Shuo explained.

"What about this one?" Cheng Shu pointed at the man in black who was under control.

The man hung his head and showed no reaction. It was unknown whether he was dead or in a coma.

Qi Shuo was so calm that he couldn't help laughing after hearing Cheng Shu's question. However, thinking about the relationship between him and Ah Hao, he held back and replied seriously, "This is to kill you."

Cheng Shu: "..." He felt that Prince Jing was mocking him!

"Why would he want to kill me?" Cheng Shu stepped forward and pulled off the black scarf covering the unconscious man's face. He looked again and again, "I've never seen it before."

The sky gradually brightened, and many people stopped not far away, pointing and talking in this direction out of curiosity.

Qi Shuo said, "Let's go to Jinlin Guard and see General Cheng first."

When Jinlin Guard was mentioned, Cheng Shu patted Qi Shuo's arm excitedly: "Sir, I remember now!"

Qi Shuo's face lit up with joy, but compared to Cheng Shu's excitement, he was remarkably calm: "We'll talk about it when we get to Jinlin Guard."

"Okay." Cheng Shu took a few steps and then stopped. "I almost forgot. I have an errand today."

Qi Shuo pointed at the unconscious man in black and said, "It's not safe to be on duty when something like this happens. I'll send someone to ask for leave for Brother Cheng."

Cheng Shu nodded and rushed to Jinlinwei with a lot of questions in his mind.

Cheng Maoming immediately put down his work when he heard that two people were coming. When he saw the two men in black, he was surprised: "This is-"

This kind of attire is obviously for robbery.

"Brother Cheng went out this morning and was attacked in an alley." Qi Shuo pointed at the unconscious man in black.

Cheng Maoming's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at the other man in black: "Is this the prince's man?"

"That's right." Qi Shuo nodded and explained calmly, "Yesterday, two important criminals were found dead from poisoning in your yamen. I suspected there was a traitor, so I deliberately spread the news that Brother Cheng had met the criminals, hoping to lure the traitor out. I didn't expect the fish to really take the bait."

Cheng Shu was dumbfounded. "Prince, did you think yesterday that someone might assassinate me?"

"I was just trying it out. The other party was too impatient."

It also proves that the mastermind behind the incident is eager to conceal his identity.

"But how did you know they would do it in that alley?"

"Yesterday, after Brother Cheng and I finished drinking and returned home, I arranged for my men to investigate. They found the most suitable alley on the road from the General's Mansion to the Imperial City that Brother Cheng usually takes."

Cheng Shu touched his nose awkwardly.

They both drank, but he drank so much that he didn't even know how to lie down on the bed, while Prince Jing arranged all these things when he returned. The difference is so disturbing.

Cheng Maoming walked up to the man in black and took a good look. "I've never seen this man before, but I already have an idea of him. Prince, please hand him over to me."

If it wasn't arranged by Mr. Zhao, he would have written the character "Cheng" upside down.

Qi Shuo nodded to his men, who handed the unconscious man in black to two Jinlin guards.

"Keep a close eye on the people. If anything goes wrong again, you will be beheaded." Cheng Maoming warned his subordinates.

"yes."

Cheng Maoming raised his hand and patted Cheng Shu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Master Cheng, I will arrange for someone to protect your safety later."

"It probably won't be needed."

Cheng Maoming looked puzzled.

Cheng Shu subconsciously straightened his back and said in a low voice, "I remember now."

Cheng Maoming was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Who is the wanted criminal?"

"He is a soldier from the Xuanwu Camp."

Cheng Maoming's pupils shrank, and he was obviously shocked.

"Xuanwu Camp? Master Cheng, are you sure?"

Xuanwu Camp is one of the camps in Beijing and is usually stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

"I'm sure. I was attacked and nearly bumped into a little boy as I was running out of the alley. I suddenly remembered it when I saw the boy crying loudly in his father's arms. Last year, I was walking down the street and a little boy started crying because he was almost bumped into. The man who scared the boy was the wanted criminal. I just glanced at him casually at the time and didn't leave a deep impression, so I never thought of it." Cheng Shu felt a sense of relief as if a fog had been cleared up. "That man was wearing the clothes of the Xuanwu Camp, there's no doubt about it."

"It will be easier once you know the origin." Cheng Maoming clapped his hands.

Since they are soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp, they must know the two wanted criminals. If we check the superiors who are in charge of them, the clue will become clear.

At this point, Cheng Maoming instinctively felt uneasy.

He can mobilize the soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp and kill people in the Jinlin Guard to silence them. He is likely to find out a big trouble.

But if we don't investigate, it's impossible. First of all, we can't explain to the emperor.

At this time, a Jinlin Guard walked in quickly and said, "Grand Commander, we've found Old Wang, the man in charge of the torture instruments!"

"Where are they?"

Jinlin Guard paused, lowered his eyes and said, "In the abandoned dry well in the backyard of the government office."

After hearing this, Cheng Maoming walked out.

Qi Shuo and Cheng Shu looked at each other and followed silently.

The Jinlin Guard was surprised to see that Cheng Maoming did not stop him, but he did not dare to say anything. The group quickly arrived there.
