Chapter 358 Revenge of the Charterers

Tonight, he wished he could go all over the streets of the entire capital, looking for Cheng Shi, but he didn't see it, and where did his neighbors see it.

The neighbor woman looked at Master Cheng's anxious expression, and replied immediately.

"He said it was in an alley leading to our side."

The woman answered so simply, Master Cheng couldn't help but gasp when he heard it.

He happened to pass by that alley when he came back, and the night was clear. He saw a few clear marks on the ground. He thought they were carved by children during the day. from.

Old Master Cheng's heart was bleeding, thinking of the torture Cheng Shi had suffered, his eyes turned red.

After all, you are his son, even though he himself scolded fiercely, and even said a lot angrily that he would die.

But Cheng Shi really had an accident, and he was the saddest person.

Master Cheng knew very well that something really happened to Cheng Shi, and resentment flashed in his eyes. Thinking of entering the court and being an official, after falling down, the people who used to fawn on him all changed their faces in an instant.

He wanted to use his former contacts to pave a new way for Cheng Shi, but in the end, he was either rejected, or ridiculed by the other party.

After being down and out, he has seen through human nature, and even accepted his fate. He only hopes that his family can live a peaceful life.

But he didn't expect that even such a simple request has become an extravagant hope, so what should he do.

Master Cheng seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his eyes were full of weeping.

"What is my fate?"

Before the Cheng family's accident happened, his eldest son Cheng Chong had faintly sensed that something was wrong, took the gold and silver treasures that the family could take away, together with his wife and children, and left. Now there is no news of him.

Although Cheng Chong is the eldest son, he is not where Mrs. Cheng lives, but is born to his aunt at home. Although he is the eldest son, he is not the eldest son. Mrs. Cheng treated him well on the surface, but secretly killed Cheng Chong's biological mother , Over the years it has suppressed them even more.

But Cheng Chong is a man who knows how to read. He is well aware of Mrs. Cheng's grudge against him, so he has always lived cautiously, and left early before the Cheng family was about to fail.

"Master, our son can't..." Mrs. Cheng's lips trembled, she didn't dare to say the dead word, she was determined not to say that word, not to mention, that person was her son.

"It's all about you, a loving mother and a loser. If you were strict with his housekeeper, would he do so many outrageous things? Our Cheng family would not have fallen to this point."

Seeing the couple complaining to each other, the neighbor woman left after a few words of persuasion.

Master Cheng looked at the dark sky, and when he thought of the scratches on the ground in the alley, his heart was in turmoil. He had a strong premonition that Cheng Shizai would never come back.

Suddenly, he thought of a burden that Cheng Shi gave him before, and said that if he couldn't come back one day, he would take that burden and go to Dali Temple to file a complaint.

Master Cheng didn't take his things seriously, but now that he thinks about it, maybe that thing killed Cheng Shi.

He turned around and went back to put it in, rummaged out from under the bed, carefully opened the bag, and couldn't help but gasped when he saw what was inside.

Mrs. Cheng stood aside, immersed in her grief. When she heard Master Cheng's movements, she turned her head and saw Master Cheng sitting there trembling.

Mrs. Cheng stepped forward in doubt, and she couldn't help but turn pale with shock after seeing the contents on the account book.

"Master, our son won't because of this..." Mrs. Cheng stood up suddenly and covered her mouth before Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, and signaled her not to say more with his eyes.

Mrs. Cheng nodded hurriedly, and the husband and wife sat on the edge of the bed. Master Cheng hurriedly put the things away and stuffed them into his arms. Only by keeping them close to his body can he feel at ease.

"Master, what are we going to do?"

Mrs. Cheng was not reconciled to her son's death being so wronged. Now that she saw the account books, she knew that Cheng Shi had offended the fifth prince. Cheng Shi had such important evidence as the fifth prince. How could the fifth prince keep him alive for too long.

Master Cheng took a deep breath and thought about it seriously. After a long time, he made a decision.

"Go to bed early, I will arrange this freely."

After Master Cheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes. How could he sleep? Now that Cheng Shi is alive and seeing no dead or dead, how can he be in the mood to sleep.

But now he is just a grassroots person. If he wants to go to the fifth prince's mansion to be important, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. In the end, he may not be able to find Cheng Shi and put himself in it.

He needs to calm down and not let others lead him by the nose.

Since his son was gone, it didn't matter if he risked his life and muddied the water in the capital.

Master Cheng made up his mind, closed his eyes and fell asleep, under the flickering candlelight, a line of tears slipped down the corner of his eyes, shining crystal luster in the dark night and immersed in the pillow.

As soon as the dawn broke, Master Cheng, who hadn't slept all night, woke up. He put on heavy clothes and covered the account books in his arms tightly.

Then he walked towards the city through the morning fog. When he passed the alley where Cheng Shi was arrested, he stopped, knelt down and stroked the finger marks on the ground. After a long time, he got up and left.

Xingchuan and others have been protecting the surroundings, wanting to see what he is going to do.

Just when Master Cheng's figure stopped in front of Prince Jing's mansion, both Xing Chuan and Xing Bai were stunned.

At this time, Li Jing had already woken up and was practicing sword in the yard. Hearing the butler's report, he couldn't help frowning. After throwing the sword in his hand to the butler, he walked towards the main hall.

Master Cheng was already waiting there, and when he saw Li Jing appearing, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"My lord, Caomin has something to give to you."

Li Jing guessed his purpose when he appeared, but he was thinking of using him to avenge Cheng Shi.

Li Jing thought that Master Cheng would go to Dali Temple or Yushitai to file a complaint, but he never expected that he would come here.

After Master Cheng finished speaking, he untied his clothes, took out two account books from inside, and handed them to Li Jing respectfully.

"My lord, Caomin knows very well that my son has done a lot of things to hurt the princess, so I have no words to face you, but today, Caomin only asks for one thing, and I beg the prince to find my unfilial son for Caomin, even if it is only a corpse. also good.

The grass people only wanted to find a place for him to return to, even if he was wrapped in straw mats, it would be better than leaving him somewhere exposed to the wind and sun. "

Master Cheng burst into tears, but Li Jing didn't agree, but took the account book he handed over and read it carefully. There were indeed many things recorded, but any one of them could completely defeat the Fifth Prince.

Li Jing handed over the account book to the housekeeper, who kept it on his behalf.

"My lord, please." Master Cheng begged bitterly.
