Catching Monsters

Chapter 48 I'm Not Polite to Monk
The street outside Nanmanju is one of the most prosperous areas in the entire city.

This place is crowded with merchants, and there are countless rare goods and treasures. No matter whether it is the dignitaries in the city or the wealthy masters nearby, they all like to hang out here.

But at this time, the whole street was empty. Soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the royal guards quickly arrived and blocked the entire street.

Many merchants and passers-by quickly fled the place.

The assassination of Prince Su had already caused a sensation in Nanzhou Prefecture.

The city gates have been blocked for five days.

Everyone was suffering, especially the merchants who had many goods in their hands and were unable to leave.

Privately, they were also curious about who on earth could dare to assassinate the prince.

Right now, the royal palace has heavily armed troops surrounding Nanmanju.

The murderer might be hiding here.

There are more and more guards in the palace and detectives in the yamen.

At this moment, in a room of the teahouse opposite Nanmanju, Xiao Jingyuan was sitting inside with a cup of tea in his hand.

Next to him is Lu Wanyu, the palace aide.

Lu Wanyu looks elegant with a folding fan in his hand.

At this moment, he was fanning Xiao Jingyuan who was sitting on the chair: "Your Majesty, the location of the murderer Jiang Yun has been determined, and he can be captured at any time."

Xiao Jingyuan took a sip of the tea in his hand, his eyes grim, and said: "My father died because of this man's murder, so there is no need to keep him alive. Kill him as soon as possible so that my father can rest in peace and be buried."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Wanyu said with a smile.

Xiao Jingyuan turned around and looked at Lu Wanyu, saying, "Why don't you do it quickly?"

Lu Wanyu's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yun is easy to deal with. He is just a defeated general of mine."

"But Xu Suwen is still in the room. If she is hurt, the prince will not be able to report to the emperor."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan frowned and snorted, "As a member of the Jinyiwei, she protected the murderer who killed my father. Even if this matter reaches the capital, we are still right."

Lu Wanyu's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that after all, Prince Su's Mansion has been far away from the capital for hundreds of years, and it only relies on the royal family and the remaining prestige of its ancestors.

If we compare the network of relationships in Beijing, it is far inferior to Miss Xu's.

Of course, he couldn't say this, so he just forced a smile and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. Miss Xu was just deceived by Jiang Yun. She doesn't know the truth. Maybe she is still being held hostage by Jiang Yun, right?"

Lu Wanyu must have some skills to be able to become an aide to the royal palace.

With just one sentence, Xu Suwen was cleared of any connection with the matter.

When Xiao Jingyuan heard this, his frowning brows relaxed slightly and he nodded, "That makes sense, but I'll have to trouble a few of you to take action and capture Jiang Yun."

"As for Miss Xu, I will personally come forward to talk to her, and I believe she will give me some face."

Xiao Jingyuan was very confident and straightened his clothes. Although the imperial edict had not yet been issued, it was obvious that he would be the next Prince Su.

The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for 370 years.

To date, there are only eight princes.

And he will undoubtedly become the youngest prince today.

Xiao Jingyuan walked slowly to the downstairs of Jiang Yun's room in Nanmanju.

He said loudly, "I am Xiao Jingyuan, the prince of Prince Su's mansion."

"Miss Xu, Jiang Yun is the murderer who murdered the prince. This matter has nothing to do with you. Please distinguish right from wrong and come down quickly."

"Otherwise, the sword has no eyes, so as not to hurt the girl."

Xu Suwen came to the window, looked down at Xiao Jingyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Whether Jiang Yun killed the person or not, you and I both know it in our hearts."

"There's no need to waste your time talking to me. If you want to do something, just do it now."

Xiao Jingyuan glanced around and made sure that many people heard what he said before turning around and leaving. He came down and said such a thing, but of course he didn't expect to really persuade Xu Suwen to come down.

It's more like a disclaimer.

I gave my advice in public, and everyone saw it.

If Xu Suwen was really hurt and the Xu family came after him, he would have an excuse.

After Xiao Jingyuan turned and left, a hearty voice soon rang out.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lu Wanyu jumped out from the second floor of the teahouse with a folding fan in his hand and landed on the ground.

He fanned himself and said slowly, "Miss Xu, since you have been deceived by the villain, then we can only help you escape!"

At the same time, two more figures came out one after another.

Landed next to Lu Wanyu.

Jiang Yun looked down from the window.

Among these two men, one is a monk wearing a yellow cassock, who looks to be in his fifties, with a fat head and big ears. I'm afraid he eats a lot of meat on a daily basis.

The other person was a Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe, who looked to be in his early thirties. He carried a fine steel sword on his back and had a bun on his head.

"Why is there still a Taoist priest?" Jiang Yun turned around and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that Taoist priests can't leave the capital at will?"

Xu Suwen rolled his eyes at Jiang Yun and said, "Taoists cannot leave the capital at will. They need the approval of the court."

“It’s not that you can’t leave.”

After saying that, Xu Suwen looked at the monk. The Taoist stared at him for a moment before saying:

"This Taoist is Yunbao Taoist from Qingfeng Temple. His strength should be at the seventh level of the Taoism Bigu realm."

"Unfortunately, his faith in Taoism was not strong enough, and he had an affair with Master Chen Yun from a nunnery in the capital. He was discovered and could not continue to stay in the capital, so he left the capital and went to Prince Su's mansion."

"The monk's surname was Chen and his name was Hu. He was originally a pig butcher. Later, he came across a Buddha statue and suddenly he had Buddha's light."

"It's a pity that this person doesn't respect the Buddhist precepts. He indulges in wine, sex, money and anger. His cultivation has stopped at the seventh level of the Buddhist realm of forgetfulness. It is difficult to make any further progress."

Jiang Yun listened to this and looked at Xu Su in surprise, asking, "You know so much about this?"

"What do I do?" Xu Suwen rolled her eyes at Jiang Yun. "There are very few things that the Jinyiwei don't know, including you. I know everything about you."

Jiang Yun looked at the three seventh-level masters below and asked, "Miss Xu, in such a dignified prince's mansion, are there only these three seventh-level masters?"

This is the prince’s palace.

Xu Suwen smiled faintly and said, "It is precisely because he is a prince's mansion that there cannot be too many masters."

"Why?" Jiang Yun was stunned.

Xu Suwen: "Three seventh-rank masters are more than enough to suppress the disaster in the An family. Ordinary evil spirits dare not approach, that's enough."

"If he hired a sixth-rank master, a fifth-rank, or even a fourth-rank expert, what would he want to do?"

"Especially for princes like these who are awarded outside, His Majesty doesn't like them to have too many experts."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun understood instantly.

Monk Chen Hu patted his belly lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Yunbao, Brother Lu, this is a great achievement to capture Jiang Yun, so I won't be polite as a monk."

After saying this, Monk Chen Hu was about to step forward.

Taoist Yunbao next to him raised his hand to stop him: "Hey, Monk Chen, you are being unreasonable. This guy knows some Taoist tricks."

"Since he is from the Taoist sect, it is natural for me to take action."

　I'm picking up my kid from school, and will write when I get home.
