The guest house is specially used to entertain foreign guests, and all the people doing the work are Zhou people.

"What's that man's name?"

Maid Yu Liu shook her head weakly: "I don't know, I only noticed him for the first time when he gave me the mask."

Cheng Maoming did not doubt that Maid Yu Liu was lying. Originally, it would be most convenient to call a few helpers who were pruning flowers and trees so that Maid Yu Liu could identify her. However, the news that Maid Yu Liu had been found could not be spread. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

After thinking about it, I still need to ask Prince Jing for help.

We really cannot do without Prince Jing - Governor Cheng sighed in his heart, and later realized that he felt a little embarrassed.

Ahem, it's mainly because Prince Jing has great talents, not because he has a dependent mentality.

"Take good care of people." Cheng Maoming told him and went to invite Qi Shuo himself.

"Has the person been found?"

Cheng Maoming smiled brightly: "Found it!"

Qi Shuo smiled: "Congratulations to the Governor."

"It's all thanks to the crown prince." Cheng Maoming cupped his hand and explained his purpose, "The maid Yu Liu said that she got the mask from a helper who was pruning flowers and trees. If the crown prince has time, I would also trouble you to go to Jin Dynasty."

Linwei."

"What's the trouble? I'd be happy to help the Governor."

Cheng Maoming was deeply moved: "Cheng will remember all the kindness of the prince in his heart."

Qi Shuo soon met the imprisoned maid Yu Liu.

"You can tell me what that person looks like." Cheng Maoming said coldly.

Under the description of the maid Yu Liu, a portrait was quickly painted. The picture showed a dark and thin man in his forties.

"Is it him?"

Maid Yu Liu nodded and looked at Qi Shuo with something strange in her eyes: "Yes..."

After receiving confirmation from the maid Yu Liu, Cheng Maoming handed the portrait to his subordinates: "Go to the guest house and quietly bring back the person in the portrait."

The subordinates took the order and left.

Cheng Maoming accompanied Qi Shuo out of the interrogation room and invited him to drink tea.

Qi Shuo was concerned about the follow-up and would not refuse.

Now it seems that the person who gave the mask to Maid Yu Liu is definitely related to the person who gave the mask to "Fake Du Qing".

The two of them waited for an hour.

"Grand Governor, I've brought you here." A subordinate's report came from outside the door.

Cheng Maoming put the tea cup on the table: "Bring it in."

As the door opened, a thin, dark man was pushed in.

"Kneel down!" Jinlin Guards who brought the people kicked him to the ground.

The thin, dark man looked frightened: "My lord, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare your life."

Cheng Maoming looked down at the man: "Do you know why I called you here?"

The thin, dark man did not dare to look up at all, and shouted in a crying tone: "I don't know, you little people!"

"I don't know?" Cheng Maoming raised an eyebrow, "Someone reported secretly that you gave something to the missing Yu Liu maid. Is this the case?"

The thin black man's first reaction was to deny: "Xiao Min, no -"

Cheng Maoming slapped the table, his eyes full of evil: "Have you forgotten where this place is?"

The thin, dark man shivered and suddenly lost the courage to hide anything: "Xiaomin said, Xiaomin said!"

Cheng Maoming picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Jinlin Guard undoubtedly has a great deterrent effect on ordinary people. The thin black man lowered his head and trembled as he spoke: "Xiao Min gave the Yu Liu maid named Bai Ling a small box, but Xiao Min didn't

I knew what was inside, but I never thought she would disappear!"

"I wonder what's in the box?"

"I really don't know, Xiaomin can swear!" The thin black man raised a hand, ready to swear a poisonous oath.

Cheng Maoming waited without saying a word.

Although he didn't believe this, there was no loss in hearing it.

The thin black man paused, gritted his teeth and swore a series of poisonous oaths.

"Since you don't know what's in the box, where did it come from?"

"It's...it was given to Xiaomin by a person who couldn't see his face clearly."

"I don't know what you look like?" Cheng Maoming sneered, "If you say that, I won't be satisfied."

"Xiaomin really didn't see that person's appearance. He was wearing a bamboo hat and only his chin was exposed."

A voice rang out: "Please tell me carefully what that person looks like, height, short, fat, and thin, and the clothes he is wearing. The more specific the better."

The thin dark man looked hesitantly at the young man who spoke.

Cheng Maoming's face was straight: "Just say it!"

The thin, dark man did not dare to hesitate any longer and spoke honestly.

"Is that so?" Qi Shuo put down his pen and asked after an unknown amount of time.

The scroll shows a man in rough clothes wearing a bamboo hat with only his chin exposed.

"It's him!" the thin black man shouted excitedly, with a firm tone.

Cheng Maoming glanced at Qi Shuo hesitantly.

Even if I draw it, I still don’t know what that person looks like.

"How did this person find you?" he asked.

"Outside a medical clinic." The thin black man's eyes were red, and his voice was choked up, "Xiaomin's son was seriously ill. He had taken medicine several times and really ran out of money. When he was desperate, the man appeared and treated Xiaomin

He said that as long as he secretly handed the small box to a maid named Bai Ling in the guest house, he would give the little man fifty taels of silver."

He said and kowtowed: "Xiaomin really has no choice. Xiaomin can't watch his son die of illness..."

Cheng Maoming was indifferent to the cry of the thin black man: "Did that man look for you again later?"

"No."

"Besides asking you to give the things to Maid Yu Liu, did you say anything else?"

"Just tell Xiaomin to forget about this matter as before."

Cheng Maoming couldn't help but look at Qi Shuo.

If the missing maid Yu Liu could not be found, no matter how hard she searched, she could not find the gardener who was acting as usual. Fortunately, Prince Jing broke the deadlock with his clever pen.

It's just that the gardener didn't see the man's face, so it would be extremely difficult to find him.

"Take the man down and continue questioning to see if he has anything to hide." He ordered his subordinates to take the dark and thin man away. Cheng Maoming decided to go to the palace.

Qi Shuo pointed at the portrait: "The Governor-General, you don't mind if I take the portrait away, right?"

"Your Majesty." Although Cheng Maoming wondered what the use of such a portrait was, he didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Shuo left Jinlin Guard and made an appointment with Lin Hao to meet the fake Du Qing.

"Is this the person who gave you the mask?" Qi Shuo opened the portrait in front of the fake Du Qing and asked straight to the point.

Fake Du Qing glanced at it and felt a little stupid: "You can't even tell what it looks like."

"How does it make you feel? Even if you can't see the eyebrows, the shape of the exposed chin, and the body shape, are they similar to the men you have seen?"

With this reminder, fake Du Qing looked carefully.

After a while, he slowly shook his head: "I only met that person once. If I see him again, I might be able to recognize him. It's really impossible to be sure just by looking at this portrait. The figure is similar."

Worried that this answer would not satisfy the two of them and lead to suffering, the man hesitated and said: "Besides, since he is good at disguise, what I saw may not be his true appearance..."
