Chapter 560 Miss Jiang is a really nice person
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Cheng Du bowed and then looked up at Xiao Yi, smiling and saying, "There should be no need for Lord Pei to introduce you, Your Highness. We have met before."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
Of course he remembered the other person, the fake Feng Yimin who helped Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi deceive him in the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.
But I didn't expect that the other party would appear in this Ministry of Justice. Could it be that he was Pei Zhaozhi's man from the beginning?
"You must not be rude to Your Highness." Pei Zhaozhi reminded him, but his tone sounded weak. He then bowed to Xiao Yi and said, "Your Highness, this man is a new servant I recruited some time ago. His name is Cheng Du. He has been working beside me these days. If there is anything impolite about him, I hope Your Highness will forgive him and don't bother with him."
"Since Lord Pei keeps him by his side, he must be his right-hand man. How dare this prince argue with him?" Xiao Yi said with a forced smile.
"Your Highness, your words are too kind. You really embarrass me." Pei Zhaozhi pretended not to hear the sarcasm in the words and stepped aside to make way. "Your Highness, please come in."
Xiao Yi took Lin Jie into the Ministry of Justice.
However, when Pei Zhaozhi asked whether he wanted to interrogate and summon Prince Chu, Xiao Yi refused.
"No matter what, he is still my prince's elder. Now that he has not been convicted, we should be more polite. I will go to see him in person."
"Yes, Your Highness, please come this way. The Ministry of Justice's prison was burned down before, and Prince Chu is now temporarily detained in a temporary prison."
Pei Zhaozhi led the way and led Xiao Yi to a small courtyard in the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice Prison had not yet been completely rebuilt, and the prisoners previously held in the prison had been either dealt with or transferred to the Dali Temple and other prisons. For the prisoners who could not be transferred from the Ministry of Justice, the vacant courtyard was cleaned up and renovated to temporarily replace the cells.
After Prince Chu was taken to the Ministry of Justice, the place where he was originally detained was not far from Feng Yimin. However, after receiving an imperial edict yesterday and learning that Xiao Yi would be involved in the trial of this case, Pei Zhaozhi specifically ordered that the person be transferred to this place, the small courtyard farthest from the courtyard where Feng Yimin was.
"Your Highness, the person is inside." Pei Zhaozhi stopped in the yard and looked at a room guarded by yamen runners. "Do you want to go in by yourself, or do you need me to accompany you?"
"This prince came here today just to chat with Prince Chu. It's nothing important. Lord Pei is very busy, so there's no need to accompany him here."
Pei Zhaozhi did not hesitate, "Then I will take my leave first. Cheng Du, you stay in this courtyard. If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince needs anything, go and do it immediately without delay."
"Okay, no problem." Cheng Du responded lazily.
After Pei Zhaozhi left, he smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "Your Highness, I heard it just now. If you have any instructions, just speak up. You don't have to be polite with me."
Xiao Yi looked at Cheng Du and asked, "How long have you been following orders from Pei Zhaozhi?"
"It hasn't been long, just a few days."
"How many days?"
"That's right. Living in the imperial city is not cheap. I have almost spent all my money, so I have to find a job. Fortunately, Lord Pei has a keen eye for talent and chose me at first sight."
When talking about having a discerning eye for talent, Cheng Du showed an approving smile on his face, as if if he failed to choose him, he would be blind and have made a huge mistake.
This look made Lin Jie look at him a few more times.
Xiao Yi looked at him and chuckled, but did not make any comment on his words. He only told Lin Jie to wait in the yard, and then he walked into the room.
"Yes." Lin Jie responded and stood in the yard, his body straight and straight, with a respectful look.
In contrast, Dudu on the side seemed very nonchalant. He folded his arms, leaned against a pillar, and looked at Lin Jie leisurely.
"Your master has gone in, he's not here anymore, why are you so serious?"
Lin Jie glanced at Cheng Du and said nothing.
The latter did not give up and continued: "I am talking to you, don't be so tense, you are free anyway, why don't we chat together."
"There's nothing much to talk about between the two of us."
"How can there be nothing to talk about? We have met before, and we even know each other. Miss Jiang Suining, she was your former master, right?"
Hearing Cheng Du mention Jiang Suining, Lin Jie frowned. He was very reluctant to mention the previous events. After all, a few years had ended up being just a joke that had been suspected and exposed from the very beginning. He really didn't want to think about it over and over again.
But Cheng Du seemed not to understand the expression, or he had made up his mind to bring up something that was not relevant, and spoke with a tone full of emotion.
"Speaking of which, Miss Jiang is really a good person. Not only is she generous, but she is also kind to others. If I could be a guard under her, I would definitely do my job honestly and get paid, and never have any other thoughts. Speaking of which, how was your life in the Jiang family before? Were you happy?"
Lin Jie was a little dazed by these words, and couldn't help but think of the time when he stayed at the Jiang family.
If you put aside your purpose of joining the Jiang family and just want to be a bodyguard, then the Jiang family is indeed a good choice.
The Jiang family has simple relationships and treats others kindly and friendly. Whether it is Jiang Suining, Jiang Zhitong, or Zheng, they never blame their servants, let alone deduct money for no reason.
"Are you reminiscing about your time at the Jiang family?"
Lin Jie was startled by the sudden voice beside him. He then realized that Cheng Du had walked up to him at some point, with a smiling fox face and a pair of amusement in his eyes.
Lin Jie's face darkened and he subconsciously raised his hand and slapped Dudu.
"What does it have to do with you!"
The palm wind was fierce. Lin Jie felt a little regretful after he made the move. He seemed to have overreacted. However, what he didn't expect was that this palm didn't even touch Cheng Du's robe.
Cheng Du's body was extremely fast. When Lin Jie swung out that palm, he pointed his toes and dodged it neatly. The whole movement was smooth and seamless.
Lin Jie was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he raised his palm again and hit Cheng Du.
However, the result was the same this time. Cheng Du had a nonchalant smile on his face and easily avoided Lin Jie's attack as if he was strolling in the garden.
The same goes for the third, fourth, and fifth moves.
Cheng Du did not make a move, but he also did not let Lin Jie get a single drop of his clothes on him.
Lin Jie finally gave up the attempt and stopped, looking at Cheng Du coldly.
"Who the hell are you!"
I’m afraid there aren’t many people with such good lightness skills in the entire imperial city. The person in front of me is definitely not simple!
