Catching Monsters

Chapter 34 No one can go back until the results are revealed
Inside the city of Nanzhou, three horses were walking on the streets.

Strictly speaking, riding horses is prohibited in Nanfu City. If you bring a horse into the city, you can only hold the horse reins and walk slowly along the side of the street.

Of course, this regulation does not apply to Qian Buyou, because this matter is also under his jurisdiction.

“Brother Jiang, I’m telling you, a fast horse would only take an hour, but we walked for half a day.” Qian Buchou complained, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll just take you with me to avoid any delays…”

Jiang Yun shook his head repeatedly and smiled, "I can't trouble Captain Qian every time, I'd better do it myself."

The group of three quickly returned to the vicinity of the government office.

Qian Buchou went straight back to the government office to report this mission to the judge. He also had to give the 100 taels of silver to Jiang Yun...

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking that after all the hard work, he got nothing in return.

Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang arrived at Nanmanju, outside the Tianzi room.

Jiang Yun knocked on the door, and Xu Suwen's voice came from inside: "Come in."

When I pushed the door open, Xu Suwen was making tea, and Jiang Qiaoqiao was sitting next to him, looking a little depressed.

Jiang Yun walked in with a smile and asked, "What happened? Who made my Qiaoqiao unhappy?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao turned away, unwilling to see Jiang Yun.

Hmm, this is strange. As far as I can remember, this girl has never been like this before.

A puzzled look fell on Xu Suwen.

Xu Suwen then said, "Today we met Liu Xudong..."

After she finished telling him what happened, she asked in a deep voice, "Did you really promise him that you would marry Jiang Qiaoqiao to him as a concubine?"

After listening to this, Jiang Yun felt angry.

You know, after he made such a fuss, no one knows what will happen to Jiang Qiaoqiao's reputation.

In this world, the importance of reputation to women is self-evident.

Jiang Yun quickly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "I swear to the Three Pure Ones! I absolutely did not say that! If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

What the original owner said had nothing to do with him, so he naturally dared to swear.

"Three Pure Ones?" Xu Su asked with a slightly frowned brow, as if he had never heard of this name.

Jiang Qiaoqiao had a smile on her face at this time. She knew in her heart that Jiang Yun would not do such a thing, but Liu Xudong spoke so seriously that she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao saw Jiang Yun swear, the gloomy look on her face suddenly brightened up.

"Huh." Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice, "Where is Liu Xudong?"

"Sent to the dungeon."

Jiang Yun's face darkened and he said, "I'll go see Captain Qian."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After Jiang Yun left, Xu Xiaogang quickly winked at Xu Suwen and said, "Sister, I have something to tell you right away."

Upon hearing this, Xu Suwen looked at him in surprise, and then told Jiang Qiaoqiao to rest in the house.

Then he went out with Xu Xiaogang.

Xu Suwen saw that he looked anxious, so he asked, "What did you encounter when you went to Beihu County?"

"Is such that……"

Xu Xiaogang did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story in detail.

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiaogang lowered his voice and said, "If I am correct, I am afraid that the Su Palace is colluding with evil people..."

"Sister, what do you think we should do? Should we report this to our superiors?"

Although the Prince Su's Mansion was granted to Nanzhou Prefecture three hundred years ago.

It is said that the blood relationship between His Majesty and the emperor in the capital is very weak, but in the final analysis, he is still a member of the royal family.

The royal family colluding with evil people is an absolute taboo in the eyes of His Majesty.

Xu Suwen's expression was much calmer. She said calmly, "No need to report to the higher-ups for now." Xu Xiaogang was a little anxious and said hurriedly, "Sister, this won't do. Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard. If they know something but don't report it..."

Xu Suwen still said in a deep voice: "I know what's going on."

After saying that, she pushed the door open and entered the room, continuing to chat with Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Xu Xiaogang sighed. He knew his sister's character and it was useless to persuade her.

In the government office of Nanzhou Prefecture, Qian Buchou had just walked out of the room of the Tongpan (Tongpan) with a bag of silver in his hand.

A full one hundred taels.

Unfortunately, these will soon become Jiang Yun’s.

Thinking of this, he quickly rushed to the yard where he lived.

I’ll give it to Jiang Yun tomorrow.

Even if it's not yours, it's okay to just hold it and sleep on it and enjoy it.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jiang Yun had been waiting here for a long time.

Jiang Yun was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, resting his eyes. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and smiled, "Captain Qian..."

Qian Buchou forced a smile on his face, touched the bag in his hand reluctantly, and handed it over: "Hey, brother Jiang, I was just about to look for you. Here, here is a hundred taels of silver, count it carefully."

"Also, I mentioned your service to our Nanzhou Prefecture to the magistrate."

"The judge welcomed this very much, saying that our Nanzhou government office is in need of talents like you who can deal with evil spirits."

Jiang Yun nodded when he heard this. He took the bag of silver and opened it to look at it.

One hundred taels of silver was definitely a huge sum of money for him and Jiang Qiaoqiao.

He took out ten taels of silver, handed it to Qian Buchou, and said with a smile: "I do have something I would like to trouble Captain Qian with."

"Hey, look at you. Between us brothers, we can just speak directly if we have anything to say. Why do you have to do this?" Qian Buchou said this, but quickly accepted the ten taels of silver.

"It's like this. As you know, I have known many friends who are scholars. Now, there is one who is in the dungeon. He was just captured. His name is Liu Xudong."

Qian Buchou touched the silver in his hand and laughed: "What do I think it's a big deal? Is this a big deal?"

"Since he is Brother Jiang's good friend, I will let him go later..."

Seeing that he misunderstood, Jiang Yun waved his hand hastily: "What I mean is, don't let him get too comfortable in there..."

Jiang Yun is not a cruel person. He thinks he is quite tolerant and friendly towards others.

But the prerequisite is that you can't target Jiang Qiaoqiao.

He only has this one relative.

When Qian Buchou heard this, he frowned and whispered, "Brother, our Nanzhou government is also a place that abides by the law. It is impossible for us to abuse torture..."

"I'll give you another ten taels."

Qian Buchou, who received the silver, slapped his thigh and sighed, "Brother, you are causing me so much trouble..."

There was no worry about collecting the silver, and this time the efficiency was surprisingly high. They quickly rushed to the dungeon and saw Liu Xudong who had been tied up.

His body was surprisingly clean and there was no sign of torture.

"Why isn't this man being tried?" Qian Buchou frowned and asked the constable next to him.

The constable came over and said, "Captain, when this man was brought here, he had already signed and sealed his name. The evidence is irrefutable. What else is there to investigate?"

"Have you signed and sealed it?" Qian Buchou was slightly stunned and took his confession certificate.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it. Once he did, his expression changed slightly.

This bastard even provoked Xu Suwen?

Was he caught by Lord Xu?
Qian Buchou said loudly: "Brothers, stay up all night. This man slandered and blackmailed the Jinyiwei. I suspect there is a big conspiracy behind it. No one can go back until the truth is revealed."

　There is one more chapter, which I will write after dinner and should be published before eight o'clock.
