Catching Monsters

Chapter 18 Xu Wuchang

It can be said that Jiang Qiaoqiao is Jiang Yun’s Achilles’ heel.

Although Jiang Yun has not been in this world for a long time, he has truly felt the feeling of having family in this short period of time.

Although I was brought back to the Taoist temple in my previous life, the elders and fellow disciples in the temple were also very kind to me.

But this feeling is different from family affection.

In short, he would never let anything happen to Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Xia Lingxian's mansion still needs to be looted for a while. Qian Buchou's order is that not a single copper coin should be left.

If he had known this situation before, he might have been interested in following Qian Buchou to grab a handful from the box full of valuables.

At this moment, he said goodbye to Qian Buchou, and then rushed to the inn where Xu Suwen lived.

The name of this inn is Nanmanju. It is very expensive and is located next to the government office of Nanzhou Prefecture. It is not a place that ordinary wealthy businessmen can afford to spend their money.

Nanmanju was mainly the government office of Nanzhou, which received officials and dignitaries from all over the country.

Xu Suwen's health had recovered a little. The room she was in was the best room in the entire inn.

All the furniture inside is made of ironwood, and the carving craftsmanship on it is exquisite.

Xu Suwen was thinking about a question: should he kill Jiang Yun?
She was wearing a plain white dress and sitting at the table with a steel knife next to her.

After all, I am a woman, and that guy dressed me in the dark. If I don't kill him...

But Jiang Yun's eyes were indeed not those of a playboy, but rather very clean and pure.

Jiang Yun seemed to have no other thoughts about him.

Just when Xu Suwen was feeling upset, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Jiang Yun's voice was heard outside.

"Miss Xu, are you there?"

Xu Suwen quickly stood up, took the coat hanging on the wall, put it on, and then said, "Come in."

After Jiang Yun sat down opposite her table.

Xu Suwen's gaze kept switching between the steel knife at his feet and Jiang Yun.

She took a deep breath. Just now, she had not explained things clearly because she had money and no worries. Now that it was just the two of them, they had to make things clear.

"What do you think about what happened today?" Xu Suwen asked in a deep voice.

"Scumbag."

"You still have a conscience. You know you are a scumbag."

"Ah?" Jiang Yun was stunned. He thought Xu Suwen was asking about Xia Lingxian.

Then he quickly explained: "I'm talking about Xia Lingxian. That guy is indeed colluding with evil people."

Jiang Yun told him everything that happened to Xia Lingxian.

Xu Suwen's face did not show much surprise. Instead, he poured a cup of hot water and said, "Although this matter is bizarre, there are many cases within the Jinyiwei that are more inhumane than him."

"But fortunately, the one who knows the purpose of my visit is the current prefect."

Having said that, Xu Suwen relaxed a little, as long as it didn't affect the real purpose of this trip.

"I'm here this time to make an unreasonable request." Jiang Yun forced a smile with a pleading look on his face.

His magic power is low now, and he has no idea how strong that group of evil people are.

Just calculate based on the strength of the witches, if there are several of them.

He couldn't handle it alone.

We must quickly find an expert to stay at home, preferably live at home, so that he can protect Jiang Qiaoqiao.

So, he could only ask Xu Suwen for help. There was no other way, he didn't know any other masters.

"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't say anything." Xu Suwen said calmly.

Why does this sentence feel a little familiar?

Jiang Yun coughed, forced a smile, and said, "Miss Xu, that group of evil people has set their sights on me. I'm afraid something might happen to Qiaoqiao, so I want to ask you..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Xu Suwen picked up the water cup and took a sip: "I will help you get rid of Peng San, and you will help me find out who is hiding the monster in the government office."

"We are now even."

Jiang Yun heard this and nodded, realizing that what the other party said was also the truth. He could only clasp his fists and say, "Then I will not disturb Miss Xu anymore."

When Xu Suwen saw this, he couldn't help but curse this idiot in his heart. He was just negotiating terms.

Do you know how to bargain?

I didn't say I wouldn't help. He just wanted to get up and leave?

See Jiang Yun coming to the door.

Xu Suwen was just about to ask him to stay.

Suddenly, the door slammed and was pushed open. The bang hurt Jiang Yun's nose and he took several steps back.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yun looked up.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a handsome young man of the same age as myself, Xu Suwen.

The handsome young man was wearing Confucian clothes and had a precious jade pendant hanging around his waist. It was obvious that he was of extraordinary status.

Seeing the person coming, Xu Suwen frowned tightly.

"Hiss, it hurts so much." Jiang Yun rubbed his nose: "Who are you?"

The young man's eyes fell on Xu Suwen, and then he said, "My name is Xu Wuchang."

"Xu Wuchang?" Jiang Yun frowned. It seemed that he and Xu Suwen should know each other.

"Goodbye." Jiang Yun clasped his fists and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly reached out and stopped Jiang Yun, and reminded him in an unfathomable way: "Jiang Yun, I have heard of you. Do you think you are worthy of Miss Xu?"

"Do you know how many suitors Miss Xu has in the capital?"

"ill."

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes at him and left quickly.

Looking at Jiang Yun's back, the young man showed a smile. Suddenly, someone grabbed his ear and dragged him into the house.

"Hey, it hurts, sister, what are you doing?"

Xu Suwen stared at him angrily: "Xu Xiaogang, what are you doing? You even changed your name. You have become more capable. Do your parents know?"

Xu Xiaogang rubbed his ears a little aggrieved: "In Beijing, there is no master named Xiaogang. Isn't this just a nicer name?"

Xu Suwen scolded, "Are you a master? Besides, your name was given by your parents. What you are doing is a great betrayal."

"My parents are partial to you. They gave you such a nice name, but of course you didn't care. You were more anxious than anyone else to name you Xu Xiaohua." Xu Xiaogang felt aggrieved.

"You still dare to be so stubborn." Xu Suwen kicked him hard on the butt: "Besides, what did you want to do by saying that to Jiang Yun just now?"

"Sister, I am trying to test whether your brother-in-law is sincere to you. You know the situation in our family. If he is a coward who only wants fame and wealth, he might give up. Besides, isn't that the case in operas?"

"How come he is your brother-in-law?" Xu Suwen glared at Xu Xiaogang fiercely.

"intuition."

"Hey, sister, stop hitting me, stop hitting me."

"If you don't have any interest in him, you really hate this guy. You should be happy that I scared him away like this."

"You're mad at me now, which means I'm not wrong!"

When Xu Suwen heard this, she was slightly stunned. She glared at Xu Xiaogang and was too lazy to argue with him about this matter.

She sat down on the table, took a sip of water, and said in a deep voice, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Xu Xiaogang quickly took out a copied list and handed it over: "I checked, and there is no Jiang Yun in the list of Taoist priests in the capital."

"Also, you said that you could write a spell on your hand and then strike it out with your palm to produce lightning with great power. It seems that there is no such Taoist magic in the Taoist temples in the capital."

"Is this kid not clean?"

Xu Suwen took the list thoughtfully, thought for a moment, then stood up, packed his clothes, and said, "Don't worry about it, hurry back to the capital, it's very dangerous outside."

"I won't leave. I have been ordered by my superiors to help you investigate the case." Xu Xiaogang quickly took out an order and handed it over.

When I took it over and took a look, it was true.

"Then you stay here obediently. You can't go anywhere without my order." Xu Suwen glared at him: "Did you hear me?"

Xu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly, and Xu Suwen then packed his clothes and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going, sis?"

"Go stay at Jiang Yun's house for a few days."

With a bang, the door closed.

Xu Xiaogang rubbed his butt and muttered, "You dare to say that you have no interest in Jiang Yun? You say one thing and mean another."

"Humph, if you don't let me scream, I'll scream anyway!"

"Xu Wuchang, ah Xu Wuchang."
