When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 76 Pull him

Cheng Muqing looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but praise, "My lord, your technique is absolutely inferior to ordinary people."

The suspects are beyond recognition, can they still be drawn?
"Although the state of death is miserable, you can still see his appearance when he was alive." Lin Heng said calmly, "And the bones are not deformed. According to the current situation...it is easy to recover."

"I didn't expect the prince to look at the bones." Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, "It is said that beauty is in the bones, not in the skin...My lord, what do you think of my bones? Is it particularly good?"

She was originally a joking and playful character.Saying this is just a joke.

However, when this word reached Lin Heng's ears, his taste changed a bit.His earlobes were red and his eyes changed.

He felt that she was like a goblin, hooking his fingers, he walked to her side involuntarily.

"My lord!" Cheng Muqing stretched out an index finger and yelled at him, "What are you thinking?"

"Cough...no." Lin Heng turned his face away.

"I didn't think of anything good at first glance." Cheng Muqing curled his lips, picked up the painting on the table and compared it with the first painting drawn by Lin Heng, "These two people...seem to be half alike, are they the same person? "

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded.

"Master Su, please ask for this person's information." Cheng Muqing held the portrait in both hands and handed it to Su Yayi.

"Yes." Su Ya also quickly took it, and turned to do it.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Lin Heng looked at her.

"They are the most suitable for extorting a confession." Cheng Muqing picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, "We just need to wait until the final blow."

She is surprisingly patient.

In winter, it always gets dark very quickly.

As night fell, Cheng Muqing's thoughts gradually became clear.She got up and went out, "It's almost time, my lord."

Lin Heng stood up and walked towards the gate of the Xuan Prison side by side with her.

The Xuan Prison Gate was dark and closed, and the air was filled with the smell of carrion and blood, making it hard to breathe.

At the moment when he went down the Xuan Prison Gate, Lin Heng paused when he went down the steps.He clutched his clothes with both hands, his face gradually turned pale.

He vaguely heard the sound of whipping coming from the door, and the wailing of men and women.

"My lord?" Ah Feng followed behind him, and when he saw him, he stood on the steps, unable to go up or down.Can't help but ask, "My lord, are you afraid of the dark?"

Realizing that the person behind him hadn't followed, Cheng Muqing looked back at Lin Heng.

His complexion is not very good, his beautiful Danfeng eyes are slightly staring, and his pupils are a little loose.

"Please order a few more lights." Cheng Muqing said to the Eagle Envoy beside him.

But for a moment, candles were lit one after another, and the dark cell instantly brightened up a lot.

The candlelight dazzled the criminals in the prison so that they couldn't keep their eyes open.

"What's the matter today? Lighting so many candles won't let people sleep?"

"Hey~ Which high official came to inspect it? Are you corrupt officials finally willing to light candles?"

Cheng Muqing didn't listen to the group of people's complaints, but stretched out his hand to Lin Heng, "Ah Heng, come."

The candlelight fell on her eyebrows and eyes, her eyes were soft, and there was a slight smile on her lips.

Lin Heng was stunned for a while before putting his hand up.

Cheng Muqing pulled him and walked to the main hall of Xuan Prison Gate.

As if she had expected her arrival, Su Ya had already arranged the seats, waiting for the two of them.

The Flying Eagle Envoy was very efficient, and that night he submitted the ledger and asked for information about the deceased.

"Clap clap-"

It was the sound of whips beating flesh.

Lin Heng's ears moved slightly, and his body trembled imperceptibly twice.He followed closely beside Cheng Muqing, his lips were pale.

As if feeling his uneasiness, Cheng Muqing held his hand tightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Heng, do you want to wait for me outside?"

Lin Heng froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"Pa—" There was another sound of whipping on the flesh in the prison.

Lin Heng also trembled all over, as if he was the one being beaten.

"Lord Su, you've all worked hard, take a rest." Cheng Muqing smiled, and took out two taels of silver from his bosom, "Take it, and invite these Flying Eagle Envoys to drink."

"Thank you, Princess Qi." Su Ya also quickly took it, and gave instructions to the young man beside her.

Cheng Muqing pulled Lin Heng to sit first, but after a while, Golden Eagle Guard brought up a person——Little dealer.

"We meet again." Cheng Muqing leaned on his chin and smiled at him.

The dealer stared at her, pursing her thin lips tightly.

"Princess Qi asks you questions, and I will answer them completely." Su Ya also said in a deep voice from the side, "You can answer Princess Qi's question as you confess to us."

The cell was dark, and the sound of torture was constantly heard, which made people shudder.

"Golden Eagle Guard found out that your gambling shop has made a lot of money recently. What's going on?" Cheng Muqing asked softly.

"It's a gambling shop... as long as they lose more, they will naturally earn more." The little dealer replied lightly.

"No matter how much you lose..." Cheng Muqing leaned slightly and looked at the table, "It's not like losing 1000 taels of silver. You should know that this is not a small number. Even in my Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, it is impossible to take it all at once." so many."

Just after the Jinqi War, Jin's economy has not yet fully recovered.The imperial court is still advocating light corvee taxation, and the salaries of officials are also controlled at a certain level.Which official can have so much money?
Besides, Emperor Jin Ming is now obsessed with cultivating immortals, alchemy and Taoism are all burning money.

"That's the downfall of your Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. In this world, there are many rich people." The little lottery officer pulled his lips, as if laughing.

"You're right, Marquis Wu'an is down." Cheng Muqing couldn't deny it, "but 1000 taels of silver is not something that ordinary officials can give away... unless that person is a big corrupt official, very big."

The dealer just smiled and said nothing.

"Tell me, who is such a big player?"

The croupier shook his head.

"really do not know?"

"I don't know..." Seeing Su Yayi on the side looking at him seriously, the little lottery officer quickly raised three fingers, "I swear, I really don't know him. That guest is a big player, every time he comes It was packed tightly, and his identity was well protected. There are several guards with strong martial arts around him. Once, our boss checked him, and all the people he sent were sent to Jingzhao Mansion."

Seeing that he spoke so firmly, Cheng Muqing stopped embarrassing him, but asked, "Who is that person in the painting?"

"He's a regular customer." The croupier replied, "Speaking of which, he has a good elder brother."

"Oh?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows.

"I'm still a big official in the court." The little lotus officer laughed.

Cheng Muqing raised his eyes and looked at Su Yayi.

"Cao Da, Minister of the Household Department."

"Him?" Cheng Muqing was taken aback, "Isn't he... the imperial envoy this time?"

"En." Su Ya also nodded.

Cheng Muqing was silent for a moment, then winked at Su Ya.

The other party understood and asked someone to take the little dealer down.

"Have you found out who made the smoke bomb?" Cheng Muqing asked, "And those fake silver."

"A humble job is useless, and it hasn't been found out yet." Su Ya also quickly clenched her fists, facing her, and bowed slightly.

"It's okay, let's check again." Cheng Muqing stood up, "Is the servant of the household department here?"

"Inner Court."

　Preview of the next chapter:
　　"He cooperated with the gangsters and robbed the relief money." Cheng Muqing observed the change of his expression, "Just now he admitted that it was you who instructed him."

　　"No! Impossible!" Cao Da held onto the gate, shaking his head constantly, "I won't do it! I, Cao Da, want to do this for Dajin, how could I do such a thing!"
