Catching Monsters

Chapter 31: Miscellaneous Notes on Animal Creation
These animals, created by the animal-making method, kill people when they see them.

"Please spare us, please spare us. We were ordered by Miss Tang to bring you back."

"Don't kill me. If you want to find someone, go find Tang... find that witch!"

Many servants were so frightened by the sudden incident that they trembled all over, screamed and begged for mercy.

They are not innocent. They have lived here for a long time, so how could they not know what the Tang family has been doing?
Xu Xiaogang led the way. He was agile and kicked the beastman in front of him away. He turned around and said, "Follow me."

Then, the three of them ran in the direction where the bell sound came from.

From time to time, some beastmen would catch up, and Xu Xiaogang would kick them again.

From time to time, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Yun: "When are you going to make a move?"

Jiang Yun felt helpless. If he had magic power, would it be necessary for him to run all the way like this?

"Be careful."

At this moment, another beastman was chasing from behind. This beastman's limbs were replaced with horse hooves, and the rest of his body was no different from a human.

It was moving very fast, and with its mouth wide open, it was about to bite Qian Buchou at the back.

Xu Xiaogang pushed Qian Buchou away and with a sweeping kick, knocked the beast over.

More and more beastmen followed behind.

It was obvious that those servants and retainers had no power to fight back and were probably almost killed.

Fortunately, at this time, the three of them had already rushed to the room where the bell sound came from.

The melodious sound of bells continued to come from the house.

Jiang Yun looked back and saw that there were already more than a dozen beastmen chasing after him.

The three of them slammed hard into the iron gate without hesitation.

He was shocked and took several steps back.

Jiang Yun quickly pinched his fingers and chanted: "The way of chaotic springs, those who are not opened will definitely open, those who are slightly opened will open greatly, and those who are fully opened will definitely not open..."

"open!"

Click.

The iron door creaked and slowly opened, and a strong fishy smell came out from inside.

Jiang Yun covered his nose and ran in without hesitation.

The room was not very big. In the center of the room, there was a bronze bell floating, swaying gently.

The sound of the bell came from there.

At the same time, a dozen beastmen, seeing the room being opened, roared loudly and rushed towards the three of them.

Jiang Yun rushed forward, jumped up, picked up the bell, and smashed it hard to the ground.

Bang.

The bell broke into pieces in an instant.

The sound disappeared.

All the beasts that pounced on the three of them closed their eyes almost instantly and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Hu." Jiang Yun let out a long breath.

If they had been a little slower, they would have probably died at the hands of these beasts.

Qian Buchou sat on the ground, breathing heavily, and asked, "Master Xu, Brother Jiang, what should we do next?"

Jiang Yun glanced at these beasts and said in a deep voice: "Tang Wanxin escaped."

"Search the Tang Mansion first to see if we can find anything useful."

"Then set fire to these beasts."

The three of them took a short break and then began to search the Tang Mansion. Soon, they found their belongings in a utility room. After searching for about half an hour, the three of them met in front of the gate of the Tang Mansion.

Qian Buchou frowned and cursed, "Damn it, in such a big Tang Mansion, I can't even find a little silver."

This trip was full of dangers, and in the end I didn't gain any benefit.

It's strange that his face looks good.

Xu Xiaogang also didn't find anything. He looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "What did you find?"

Jiang Yun nodded, took out a booklet from his bosom, and said, "Perhaps Tang Wanxin left in a hurry, so she didn't have time to take this miscellaneous notebook with her."

"Miscellaneous notes about livestock?" Xu Xiaogang asked curiously, "What's it about?"

"Are you sure you want to read it?" Jiang Yun had already flipped through it in advance, and when he saw Xu Xiaogang nod, he opened it.

The first line is:

"The Animal Creation Method is not an evil secret method. On the contrary, it is a magical method that can save lives."

"If you have a heart disease and you are proficient in this method, you can exchange it for someone else's heart."

"If you have a leg disease, you can..."

"But this method is not clear. If people exchange their internal organs with each other, the person who receives the internal organs will die soon."

"The court has been conducting strict inspections recently, so I can't continue my research..."

"Hiding from here and there is not a solution. Recently, I received a letter from Prince Su's Mansion saying that Prince Su is in poor health and asked me to go to Nanzhou Prefecture to find a place where I can study the method of creating animals again."

"Finally, I succeeded in turning a person into a snake!"

"This is already a great success. It gave me a glimmer of hope when I was already in despair. It's like giving me a new parent."

"Prince Su's health is getting worse. The palace is very anxious and asked me to capture more people..."

Xu Xiaogang's eyebrows twitched slightly, especially when he saw the three words "Su Wang Mansion", his expression froze a lot.

Xu Xiaogang said in a deep voice: "The evil words are misleading, how could the Su Palace collude with the evil spirits?"

When Qian Buchou heard the words "Prince Su's Mansion", he quickly covered his ears. He knew that he could not listen to the next words.

Jiang Yun was beside him, and said with a wry smile: "So before you watched it, I asked you if you wanted to watch it."

He understood that if Xu Xiaogang, a Jinyiwei, knew about this, it would be very troublesome.

Xu Xiaogang remained silent. Soon, he lit a fire and burned down the entire Tang Mansion.

As for the booklet in his hand, Xu Xiaogang also threw it into the fire.

"It's better to burn it, it's better to burn it. It will be a big trouble if we keep this thing." Qian Buchou, who had been standing by and dared not say a word, also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

But then, Qian Buchou scratched his hair and couldn't help saying, "But burn this booklet. If you need evidence later..."

Jiang Yun reminded from the side: "If the Jinyiwei really wants to move Prince Su, does it matter whether they have the booklet or not?"

"If I want, I can write ten or a hundred more books."

After burning down the Tang Mansion, the group of three rushed back to Beihu County. On the way, Jiang Yun, out of curiosity, also asked about the Prince Su's Mansion.

Qian Buchou said, "Prince Su was granted the title of Prince of Nanzhou by His Majesty Taizu."

"There are thousands of acres of good farmland, but no one can easily mess with it."

"Over the years, when the prefect took office in Nanzhou Prefecture, the first thing he did was to visit Prince Su."

"The Prince Su's Mansion is in the North City. You may not know that several streets nearby belong to Prince Su."

Speaking of this, Qian Buchou showed envy on his face and said, "If you give me a few of those shops, I will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded, his face darkened, thinking something was not right, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Qian, Tang Wanxin is working for the Su Palace. If we destroy the Tang Palace, will the Su Palace cause us trouble?"

The Su Palace has considerable power in Nanzhou.
