Catching Monsters

Chapter 23 Guan Wenyan

Jiang Yun jumped up, raised his fist in the air, and with a flash of lightning, he punched towards Yang Qian.

Yang Qian was so frightened that his expression changed drastically and he wanted to escape, but it was too late.

This punch hit Yang Qian, and in an instant, a huge amount of thunder power poured out towards his body.

With a loud bang, the power of thunder directly blasted Yang Qian into countless pieces.

There were still countless poisonous insects hidden in his body, but these insects had been burned by the power of thunder.

Yang Qian was completely blown into pieces by Jiang Yun without any chance to fight back.

The other two evil men were so frightened that they trembled all over and were terrified.

This person can actually attract the power of thunder to help him?
Just as the two were frightened, Jiang Yun forced himself to rush forward and threw two punches.

Hit them both on the forehead.

The power of thunder instantly annihilated the two of them, turning them into ashes.

In the blink of an eye, the three evil men were killed by Jiang Yun.

Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang, brother and sister, were stunned by what they saw.

To be honest, Xu Suwen knew that Jiang Yun would be very strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.

This strength has far exceeded her expectations.

Xu Xiaogang was extremely envious and wondered when he could show off his talent in front of others.

My brother-in-law is a master at pretending to be cool!
At this time, Jiang Yun naturally had no idea what the siblings were thinking.

After killing three people, Jiang Yun could no longer hold on.

This body is really terrible.

It simply cannot withstand the powerful force of thunder.

"Cough." Jiang Yun coughed heavily and spat out a mouthful of blood. He could no longer hold on. His eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.

"What do you think?" Xu Suwen stared at Jiang Yun who had fainted on the ground, his heart sinking, and then he looked at Xu Xiaogang: "The thunder spell he just cast was probably at the level of the fifth-grade Taoist Guardian Realm."

The two siblings practiced martial arts.

The cultivation systems of martial arts, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are of course different, but they are also divided according to approximate strength.

From the entry-level ninth grade to the first grade.

Xu Suwen was delighted. It seemed that Jiang Yun could help him a lot!
However, Xu Suwen felt a little strange, as she had seen a fifth-rank Taoist priest in the Guarding One Realm before.

Most of those Taoist priests have eccentric personalities, which is somewhat different from the way Jiang Yun behaves.

……

The next day.

Inside the government office, Qian Buchou was standing respectfully in front of the magistrate's desk.

The magistrate’s surname was Guan and his given name was Wenyan.

He was the top scholar in the eighth year of Zhengde's reign.

"Captain Qian, I heard that you gave hundreds of taels of silver to each of the seven captains' families?" Guan Wenyan frowned, with dissatisfaction on his face.

Qian Buchou nodded and said, "Yes, after all, those seven guys died because of work, and they died at the hands of monsters. It is reasonable to compensate them more."

Guan Wenyan said dissatisfiedly: "You make it very difficult for me to handle this."

"If we give each of them 100 taels of silver today, and seven more die tomorrow?"

"Does it mean that each household should be compensated with 100 taels?"

"If all the hundreds of detectives in our government office died, according to your standard, they would have to be compensated with tens of thousands of taels?"

"Is our government office a charity?"

"Go collect all the money later and distribute it strictly according to the court's compensation."

Qian Buchou was dissatisfied when he heard this, but he still smiled and flattered, "Mr. Tongpan is right to criticize. I didn't think about this matter well enough."

"But I have already told my subordinates that the money was given by the magistrate. If I take it back, they might misunderstand the magistrate."

Guan Wenyan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help looking Qian Buchou up and down. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, it's all been distributed. Let's not do it again." "Yes, yes, yes." Qian Buchou bent down and nodded.

"There is another thing. Someone from Beihu County claimed that people have been missing recently. Bring some guys and go check it out."

Qian Buchou frowned and couldn't help saying, "We are already very busy in the government office, why would we go there to do errands?"

Guan Wenyan lowered his voice and said, "The concubine of the Beihu County Magistrate has also disappeared. He gave me three hundred taels of silver and asked me to find a way to rescue the concubine. If you do a good job, you will also get one hundred taels."

Qian Buchou's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, sir."

"Also, it is said that this matter may be related to evil spirits, so you should be more careful."

"Ah?" Qian Buchou was stunned, staring at the other party, and said, "Mr. Tongpan, this matter of the monster..."

"What are you afraid of?" Guan Wenyan rolled his eyes at Qian Buchou. "Didn't you get rid of the monster hiding in the government office? The other party came here just because they saw your ability."

Qian Buchou had a somewhat reluctant look on his face: "Sir, I have no idea how to deal with monsters."

"Do I have it? How about I go catch the monster? You stay at the government office?"

"Old Qian, I have always been optimistic about you. You are capable, responsible, and meticulous. Maybe in the future, my position as Tongpan will be left to you."

"That's it!"

"Left tomorrow."

Qian Buchou walked out of the house and deeply realized a truth: a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.

The magistrate is really evil. When it comes to monsters, how could he just give three hundred taels?
Who knows how many benefits this bastard has taken in, but he only gave himself a hundred taels of silver to send away a beggar?
But after all, it was about dealing with a monster, so Qian Buchou pondered for a moment and then went to Jiang Yun's house.

……

Jiang Yun had woken up from his coma at this time, and he looked as if he had suffered a serious illness.

My body feels weak and I walk unsteadily.

Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang, brother and sister, left last night, asking Jiang Qiaoqiao to take good care of herself.

If you have any problem, go to Nanmanju to find them.

Dragging their weak bodies, Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiaoqiao were filling the pit and dismantling the trap.

Jiang Qiaoqiao also curiously asked Jiang Yun what happened yesterday.

She was in the house, hearing continuous thunder outside. She was so scared that she huddled under the quilt and covered her head to sleep.

Jiang Yun smiled and said that someone had come to cause trouble yesterday, but the trouble had been resolved, so she didn't need to worry.

The brother and sister were busy, when suddenly a voice came from outside the yard: "Brother Jiang."

Liu Xudong, dressed like a scholar with a somewhat wretched look on his face, walked in from outside the yard, but he kept glancing at Jiang Qiaoqiao from time to time.

When Jiang Yun saw the person coming, he frowned immediately. The person seemed to be called Liu Xudong.

"Brother Jiang, why are you frowning when you see me?" Liu Xudong laughed, "Don't you welcome me?"

"Indeed, you are not welcome." Jiang Yun said calmly.

"Brother Jiang is really a joker. How could we not know each other as brothers?" Liu Xudong coughed and then said, "Brother Jiang, have you forgotten?"

"You said you would give me your sister as a concubine. I am ready to give you the ten taels of silver you asked for."

Liu Xudong and Jiang Yun had not known each other for long, but he found that Jiang Yun was a face-loving person who would always rush to pay the bill when they were drinking and having fun.

He had no money and even went to Peng San to borrow money to spend on himself. He was such an idiot.

A few days ago, I heard that Jiang Yun was in trouble with Peng San.

He was afraid of being implicated, so he didn't dare contact Jiang Yun for several days.

Recently, I heard that Peng San died, and Jiang Yun was very close to Captain Qian in the city.

This guy is clinging to someone powerful.

Thinking of this, Liu Xudong looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with an obscene look. Although this little girl had a poor figure, she looked well-behaved and cute.

Just as he was daydreaming, Jiang Yun's cold voice came from beside him.

"Where are you looking with those dog eyes?"
