Catching Monsters

Chapter 68 Interrogate Jiang Yun first!

After hearing what Qi Da said, Jiang Yun felt relieved.

Soon, the four of them took Jiang Yun and walked towards the government office.

Jiang Yun walked in front and said to Qi Da beside him: "Master Qi, although I don't know what Zhao Chongfeng said, I arrested him. No matter what, it is impossible for him to slander me."

Qi Da put his hands behind his back, laughed, and said, "Of course I understand. I am also following orders. Wei Huaian is our immediate superior. We can only carry out his orders."

"The man has escaped. He has to catch a few 'traitors' so that he can report to the authorities. There are many people in the prison. Don't worry."

Qi Da's words were meant to tell Jiang Yun not to be scared and really run away. If he escaped from the hands of these four people, the consequences would be completely different.

Who could be a fool to join the Jinyiwei?
Knowing that Wei Huaian was anxious and wanted to find a scapegoat, Qi Da and others understood this tacitly, but they could only follow orders.

Before Qi Da came, he also knew Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang, and was quite close to Jiang Yun.

If he really wanted to become enemies with Jiang Yun, he would probably offend Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang in disguise.

Qi Da was unwilling to be the bad guy. Even if Zhao Chongfeng ran away, Wei Huaian would have to bear the biggest blame. They were just following orders and would be scolded at most.

If Wei Huaian was dismissed from his post, there was no guarantee that he would still be able to take the position of general flag bearer.

Jiang Yun was soon brought to this familiar dungeon.

The place was crowded, but there were not many Jinyiwei guarding it, only eight of them on duty.

The other Jinyiwei should be all over the city, arresting people everywhere.

"There are fewer people in that cell." Qi Da pointed to a cell near the inside. When Jiang Yun arrived, he saw Qian Buchou was also inside.

"Come in." Zida opened the door.

Entering the cell, the door was closed with a bang.

Qian Buchou was sitting inside, holding the weeds on the ground, thinking about how much money he should give to get out of this damn place.

Seeing Jiang Yun coming, he felt more confident: "Brother Jiang, why are you here too?"

"Hey, you're the one who arrested Zhao Chongfeng. They're..." Qian Buchou was about to curse, but he swallowed back his words: "How come these majestic Jinyiwei also locked you up?"

Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and glanced at the other people in the cell, but he didn't recognize any of them. He said, "Okay, talk less and wait for Miss Xu and the others to come."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, look at me, I'm too anxious. Miss Xu is also a Jinyiwei, so we are one family."

The efficiency of the Jinyiwei is still very high.

Usually, only one person is needed to arrest someone.

Only because Jiang Yun possesses Taoist magic, he receives special treatment and is allowed to bring more people with him to capture him.

Soon, the fifty or sixty people on the list were all arrested.

There were Jinyiwei walking in the corridors of the entire prison. Wei Huaian walked down from above with his hands behind his back.

He glanced at the prisoners with a cold look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I asked you all to come here today for one thing."

"Find out who is colluding with that traitor Zhao Chongfeng."

"Of course, no one will admit it. Don't worry. We, the Jinyiwei, have plenty of ways to get everyone to speak up."

Wei Huaian waved his hand, pointed at a woman in the cell, and said, "Catch this woman and whip her thirty times."

This woman should be from Weichun Tower, about fifteen years old.

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She begged for mercy in a hurry: "Sir, sir, I was sold to Weichunlou by my parents when I was young. I don't know anything." "I don't know anything."

"Old lady, save me, save me." The woman looked at the madam not far away as if asking for help.

The madam's eyes were looking towards the ceiling, and she was cursing in her heart, "What does this damn girl want me to do? Don't drag this old body of mine out for trial later."

Soon, the woman was tied to the iron pillar, and Wei Huaian held a wet whip and said, "Girl, as long as you admit that you colluded with Zhao Chongfeng, you won't have to suffer this punishment."

"If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell the truth."

The woman hurriedly shook her head, "I don't know anything, sir. I am a miserable person. My parents sold me to Weichunlou when I was young. I served people there and endured being beaten and scolded by customers. I just wanted to live a good life. Please give me a way to live."

He raised the whip and was about to whip him when suddenly, a voice came from the prison entrance.

"Lord Wei has great authority."

"The rebel was lost and could not be found. The means used to deal with this weak woman were quite powerful."

When Wei Huaian heard the words "let go of the traitor", his pupils shrank and he turned around to look: "Who said that?"

Xu Suwen walked into the dungeon with a cold face.

"Xu Suwen." Wei Huaian's voice sank and he said coldly, "Xu Suwen, I'm investigating a case, what are you doing here?"

Xu Suwen said with a smile: "Of course I came here to learn how Lord Wei planned to deceive His Majesty and find some scapegoats."

"Nonsense." Wei Huaian said to the Jinyiwei next to him, "Show Xu Suwen Zhao Chongfeng's confession."

Soon, a booklet was delivered to Xu Suwen.

Xu Suwen took it in his hand, glanced at it, and threw it aside: "Jiang Yun played an indispensable role in catching Zhao Chongfeng. Even so, he was arrested and thrown into prison by you."

"It's obvious that Zhao Chongfeng is the one who made up the story. Lord Wei is so experienced, how could he not tell this apart?"

Wei Huaian said coldly with a sullen face: "Is it wrong for me to arrest people based on the confession of the traitor?"

Xu Suwen asked with a smile: "Oh, in this confession, there are also prefects, deputy prefects and others. Why don't we see them in prison?"

Wei Huaian's heart sank. If it was an ordinary case involving a traitor, the Jinyiwei would arrest him regardless of his official position.

But Zhang Wenqi was different. Facing the rebels, Zhang Wenqi was determined to die to show his determination, so he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Xu Suwen also reported the matter truthfully and handed it over to his superiors.

It is said that His Majesty was very pleased when he saw it, and I'm afraid Zhang Wenqi will be promoted and return to Beijing soon.

How dare Wei Huaian touch him?

Wei Huaian took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Xu, this matter is of great importance. I must investigate it thoroughly. We are all colleagues, please give me some face."

"Afterwards, Wei will definitely reward you handsomely."

Xu Suwen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it later, I just need you to release someone now."

Wei Huaian glanced at the prisoners in the prison and frowned: "Miss Xu, these people were arrested based on the confessions of the traitors. There is no problem with the procedure. We can't let them go easily."

"You won't let go?" The smile on Xu Suwen's face gradually faded: "You lost the traitor. Logically, you should take off your clothes and return to the capital to apologize."

"You!" Wei Huaian heard this. He knew Xu Suwen's identity and background very well. Although he was the chief flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Wei Huaian shouted loudly: "Is Jiang Yun in prison? Bring him here and interrogate Jiang Yun first."
