Catching Monsters

Chapter 44 Can’t Escape

After confirming that Tang Wanxin, who was lying on the ground, had stopped breathing, Xiao Jingyuan snorted coldly, "A witch is a witch."

Then, he couldn't help but look back and take a look at Xiao Yukang's body.

When the prince dies, the capital will definitely send people to express condolences and will be concerned about the cause of the prince's death.

They will even send people to investigate the body.

No one would believe that this body died of illness.

So he could only have been stabbed to death, and he had already thought of the murderer.

Tang Wanxin and Jiang Yun in the dungeon are good scapegoats.

Xiao Jingyuan took a deep breath, tears fell from his eyes, and he opened the door and said loudly: "Father is dead."

Hearing this, the princess and concubines in the courtyard, as well as the stewards and staff in the palace, seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the tears that had been brewing in their eyes burst out.

Listening to the wailing sounds all over the yard, Xiao Jingyuan slowly clenched his fists.

He was already the crown prince, and all his brothers were killed, so it was only natural for him to become a prince.

Right now, we need to arrange the follow-up matters.

The guards in the courtyard seemed to have something to report.

Hurry forward.

Xiao Jingyuan whispered, "Kill Jiang Yun in the dungeon immediately."

The guard said with a trembling voice, "Prince, he ran away."

"Run away?" Xiao Jingyuan was stunned when he heard that, but his eyes showed joy. It's good that he ran away!

Xiao Jingyuan said loudly: "The prince was assassinated, and now the murderer has escaped!"

"Notify the prefect, seal off the city! Arrest the people!"

"The murderer is Jiang Yun!"

……

In the Tianzi Guest Room of Nanmanju, Xu Suwen was sitting inside waiting anxiously.

Xu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, was eating an orange nonchalantly and asked, "Sister, have you written a letter home?"

"To save Jiang Yun?"

Xu Suwen shook his head and said slowly: "My letter was not sent to my family."

Xu Xiaogang was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Did they report to the higher-ups that the palace was colluding with evil people?"

"Not at all."

Listening to Xu Suwen's words, Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but take a look at the next room.

Jiang Qiaoqiao is right there.

Xu Xiaogang was grumbling in his heart and couldn't help asking, "You are helping Jiang Yun and protecting his sister. You don't really like him, do you?"

"If you ask me, it's not a good idea to fall out with Prince Su's Mansion just because of Jiang Yun."

"Although the influence of Prince Su's Mansion in the capital is getting smaller and smaller, it is still a royal family after all."

"Your Majesty, even if you break bones, you still have tendons."

"Our identities, and we quarreled with him..."

"Of course, if you really like Jiang Yun, then I will break into Prince Su's Mansion and help you get him out."

"You little brat." Xu Suwen glared at Xu Xiaogang, then reminded him, "Twenty years ago, at Tianqing Temple."

"Tianqing Temple?" Xu Xiaogang shook his head: "Twenty years ago, I was just born, how could I..."

Suddenly, the orange in Xu Xiaogang's hand fell to the ground, his pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in disbelief: "Sister, are you talking about the third-grade great celestial master of Tianqing Temple?"

How could Xu Xiaogang not know about this matter? It caused a lot of uproar in the entire capital at that time.

Tianqing Temple, one of the only three remaining Taoist temples, has a third-rank great Taoist master.

It is said that the Taoist priest grew up in a Taoist temple and had extraordinary cultivation skills.

But he has been unable to break through the realm.

Therefore, he chose to reincarnate again, be reborn, and be reborn into the world.

He also declared that he would seal his memory and be reborn in the south.

When his memory is restored, he will return to the capital.

At that time, Taoism revived, all things grew, demons and evil spirits were eliminated, and Taoism was widely spread.

Xu Suwen nodded slightly and said slowly: "Jiang Yun was originally just a scholar, but overnight, he learned Taoism."

"Hiss." Xu Xiaogang took a breath and asked, "Then where is your letter from?" "It went to Tianqing Temple."

Xu Xiaogang's pupils trembled. You know, the first and second level realms only exist in legends.

In the whole world, the strongest person in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a strong man of the third level.

The third-rank great celestial master is the most powerful person in Taoism.

"The people in Tianqing Temple will probably go crazy when they hear this news." Xu Xiaogang swallowed.

Xu Suwen nodded slightly and reminded: "This matter is of great importance and must not be mentioned to anyone else."

"I know."

Just then, Jiang Yun's anxious footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.

Jiang Yun pushed open the door, breathing heavily. He had just returned to his own courtyard.

When he found that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Xu Suwen were not there, he guessed that they might have come to Nanmanju.

"Miss Xu, Xu..."

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with surprise, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Why did you run out? Let me see if you are injured."

Xu Xiaogang was very enthusiastic and walked around Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was confused by his appearance and couldn't help but look him over: "What are you doing?"

"Sister, my brother-in-law is fine."

Xu Suwen kicked him on the butt: "Stop yelling."

Xu Xiaogang rubbed his butt and stepped aside.

Jiang Yun was relieved when he saw Jiang Qiaoqiao in the next room was safe and sound. He said in a deep voice, "Something happened at Prince Su's Mansion."

Soon, Jiang Yun told everything that happened in the dungeon.

After listening to this, Xu Suwen frowned and said in a cold voice: "Prince Su is a royal family after all, it is impossible for him to really do something like asking his relatives to have their hearts replaced."

"If it's true."

Xu Suwen paused and said, "I'm afraid your majesty will be furious."

Xu Xiaogang snorted coldly and said, "When Prince Su was young, he was also a young hero. He put on armor and went into battle to expand the territory for Your Majesty and fight against the northern barbarians."

“I didn’t expect to be so afraid of death when I’m old.”

At this moment, suddenly, there was a strange noise from the street below.

Many constables galloped past on horseback.

The person who is the leader will never worry about money.

"The prefect has ordered that all city gates be sealed and no one be allowed to enter or leave."

"Search thoroughly and make sure to find Jiang Yun."

"No matter life or death!"

"Yes."

Many detectives quickly searched around.

Qian Buchou dismounted and walked quickly to the third floor of Nanmanju.

"Master Xu, something happened..."

When he reached the third floor and pushed the door open, Qian Buchou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Yun. He said, "Brother Jiang, you are here after all. Something big has happened. Prince Su is dead."

Jiang Yun frowned and nodded: "I know."

"The palace said that he was assassinated by you. Now they are sealing all the city gates to find you."

"Hurry up and follow me. If you are found, you will not survive."

"Over at the South Gate, all the people there are my detectives. I'll find a way to get you out of the city."

As he spoke, Qian Buchou took out a portrait. The person in the portrait was tall and strong with thick lips. "This is your search portrait."

"I drew this with my own hands. People who don't know you will never recognize you."

Jiang Yun frowned. It seemed that he had to leave the city to take shelter now.

If he were found by the people from Prince Su's Palace, he would be dead.

Unexpectedly, Xu Suwen beside him said in a deep voice: "You can't escape."

"You hid outside the city, and the murder of the prince was confirmed."
