Catching Monsters

Chapter 36: Dilemma
Tang Wanxin frowned and said to the man beside her, "It would be more convenient to live in the palace and take care of the prince's illness."

She was about to leave, but Xu Xiaogang on the third floor saw this and shouted, "Where are you going, you witch?"

Then he jumped down from the third floor, blocking the way of Tang Wanxin and the man, holding a sword in his hand, and even pressed it against Tang Wanxin's neck, saying in a cold voice: "I was wondering where you, a witch, had escaped to, but I didn't expect you to come to Nanzhou Prefecture."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun also prepared to go down to help. He wanted to imitate Xu Xiaogang and jump down in a graceful manner.

But after taking a look at the height of the third floor, he chose to run down the stairs.

Before going downstairs, he reminded Xu Suwen: "Miss Xu, take good care of Qiaoqiao, I will go to help."

Jiang Yun rushed to the gate of Nanmanju and came to Xu Xiaogang's side.

Tang Wanxin frowned slightly, hid behind the man beside her, and said gently: "This young man, I think you have recognized the wrong person."

"Humph, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes." Xu Xiaogang said coldly: "How many lives have you killed in Beihu County?"

Tang Wanxin heard this, tears flowed from her eyes, and she bit her lips gently: "Young man, I am a weak woman, I don't even dare to kill a chicken on weekdays, but you accuse me of killing others?"

Jiang Yun frowned beside him and said impatiently: "Why waste so much time talking to her? Just kill her with a sword first."

Xu Xiaogang thought it made sense and stabbed Tang Wanxin in the chest with a sword.

But just as the sword was about to be thrown, the man standing in front of Tang Wanxin put away his folding fan and used it to deflect the sword.

Then, the man unfolded his folding fan, fanned it gently and said, "Nanzhou Prefecture, you dare to commit murder in the street? Do you know what crime you are committing?"

"Okay, you have an accomplice, right?" Xu Xiaogang snorted coldly: "Then take you both down together."

Xu Xiaogang swung his sword and attacked the man, but he didn't expect the man to be very strong. He easily dodged Xu Xiaogang's sword and used a folding fan in his hand to repel Xu Xiaogang several times.

Seeing that the opponent was quite powerful, Jiang Yun quickly retreated to avoid getting hurt.

The man's movements were sharp and graceful, and he seemed to be at ease.

At this moment, suddenly, an arrow shot from the third floor. The man dodged quickly and looked up: "Are there any more experts?"

Xu Suwen could no longer sit still, so she jumped down from the third floor, and the brother and sister attacked the man together.

The two of them joined forces, and the man could no longer resist. He was soon kicked over by Xu Suwen and fell to the ground.

Two long swords were placed in front of his neck, forcing him to not move.

There were many people gathered on both sides of the street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Qian Buchou pushed the crowd aside and walked in, cursing. He was about to go home to rest when he suddenly heard that a fight had started with knives.

For this kind of thing, money is not a problem, but you can enjoy it. According to regulations, you cannot carry a knife easily in the city.

When two gangs are fighting, we have to catch them and make them give us some money first, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Unexpectedly, when I pushed people aside, I saw that it was Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang, a brother and sister.

"Hey, my two lords, who made you angry? Why do you need to do it yourself? I can do it."

Qian Buchou smiled widely, drew his sword, and prepared to put it on the man's neck and take him back to the government office.

But when he stepped forward and took a look at the man's face, his face froze in an instant.

The knife also fell to the ground with a clang.

"Oh, Prince, why is it you?" Qian Buchou was frightened when he saw the person lying on the ground. He reached out to take away Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang's sword: "Slow down, don't hurt the prince." Jiang Yun, who was standing next to him, frowned immediately. Prince?
Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but look at each other, obviously surprised.

"This is Prince Su's legitimate son, Xiao Jingyuan." Qian Buchou lowered his voice and spoke to Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang.

Xiao Jingyuan slowly stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and said slowly: "Captain Qian, these two people attacked me in the street, how should we investigate and deal with them?"

Xu Xiaogang was not afraid at all. He raised the long sword in his hand and said, "So what if you are my prince? You are colluding with evil people, so we will arrest you. We don't need to worry about the money. Tell the constables in your government office to come and arrest him!"

"Oh my god." Qian Buchou's head exploded.

On one side are the Jinyiwei from the capital, and on the other side is the prince of the prince's mansion.

He can't afford to offend anyone. It would be better for him to go home and have a good sleep. Why does he have to get involved in this mess?

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful.

Xiao Jingyuan frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Qian Buchou's reaction: "Qian Buchou, don't you understand what I say?"

Xu Xiaogang turned his head and looked: "Captain Qian, why don't you take action?"

"I, I." Qian Buchou looked at Jiang Yun behind him, his eyes looking for help.

Jiang Yun also knew his difficulties, but he could only shrug his shoulders, indicating that he was powerless.

Qian Buchou suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, his head hitting the floor heavily and he fainted. No matter how others shouted at him, he closed his eyes and did not answer.

"Okay." Xiao Jingyuan looked at Qian Buchou who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and felt inexplicably angry.

Xiao Jingyuan said coldly: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to attack me openly in Nanzhou Prefecture. Do you know what the outcome will be?"

Suddenly, Xu Xiaogang took out a black Jinyiwei waist badge and said, "I didn't expect that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, someone would dare to attack the Jinyiwei."

Seeing the Jinyiwei waist badge, Xiao Jingyuan's expression became uncertain: "Are you Jinyiwei?"

Xu Xiaogang snorted coldly and said, "Go, tell your people in the palace to arrest us, and then have your Prince Su go to the capital and explain to His Majesty."

In broad daylight, Xiao Jingyuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but glare at Qian Buchou at his feet.

No wonder this bastard didn't dare to arrest these two people.

The Prince Su's Palace has a certain influence in Nanzhou Prefecture and even in the imperial court.

Naturally, it is impossible to be afraid of just two Jinyiwei.

But this kind of thing is likely to be blown out of proportion. If the two Jinyiwei who were doing their job were really arrested, who knows what kind of trouble the ministers in the capital would make.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyuan clenched his fists, but forced a smile on his face: "It seems that this is a misunderstanding."

"Miss Tang, let's go." Xiao Jingyuan looked at Tang Wanxin and led her away.

Xu Xiaogang wanted to stop him, but Xu Suwen, who was standing next to him, grabbed his wrist and whispered, "That's enough."

Before Tang Wanxin left, she looked at Jiang Yun meaningfully.

After Xiao Jingyuan left, Qian Buchou quickly got up from the ground, with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, and said: "Please forgive me, my lords, I still have to beg for food in Nanzhou Prefecture..."

If you want to live a good life in Nanzhou Prefecture, you cannot offend Prince Su's Mansion.
