Catching Monsters

Chapter 69 I Still Want to Collect the Money (Additional Update)

Jiang Yun, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was stunned when he heard what they said. You two can talk, but why are you interrogating me?

Soon, Qi Da, along with two Jinyiwei, opened the prison door.

Qian Buchou was anxious, as if he was about to be tortured, and said hurriedly: "My lords, my skin is very tender, and I can't stand this punishment."

"I know the rules. How much silver do you think I'll give?"

Qi Da shook his head, held Jiang Yun, and whispered, "Don't resist. Although Wei Huaian is anxious, he is not crazy. He dare not offend Xu Suwen to death."

Jiang Yun had an idea in his mind, and soon he was brought in front of Wei Huaian and Xu Suwen.

Wei Huaian's face was gloomy and his eyes kept looking at Xu Suwen.

"Jiang Yun, I am Wei Huaian, the general flag of the Jinyiwei." Wei Huaian stepped forward solemnly and asked, "Are you colluding with the traitor Zhao Chongfeng?"

"of course not."

Wei Huaian took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay, the review is over."

"Jiang Yun, you have proven your innocence, you can leave now!"

After saying this, Wei Huaian looked at Xu Suwen, as if asking, are you satisfied now?

Xu Suwen breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward, grabbed Jiang Yun's hand, and was about to leave.

She came here only to protect Jiang Yun. As for the life and death of others, she couldn't care less and had no interest in doing so.

Seeing this, the other people in the prison became excited.

"Sir, we are also innocent. Please believe us."

"Shut up, everyone." Wei Huaian frowned, and saw Jiang Yun staying in prison and not leaving yet: "What else do you want to do?"

Jiang Yun turned around and looked at the people imprisoned in the dungeon, and his heart was slightly moved.

He turned around to look at Wei Huaian and said with a smile: "Sir Wei, would you mind talking to me for a moment?"

Wei Huaian frowned.

"If I can catch Zhao Chongfeng once, I can catch him a second time. It all depends on whether Lord Wei is interested."

Wei Huaian's eyes moved, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"There are too many people here, let's chat outside the dungeon." Jiang Yun said, leading Xu Suwen outside.

As soon as he arrived outside the dungeon, Wei Huaian asked hurriedly: "Do you really have the means to find Zhao Chongfeng?"

Jiang Yun stretched his muscles and said, "Sir Wei, to be honest, it was Xu Suwen, Xu Xiaogang and I who caught the man."

"You came to try the case to claim credit, but ended up losing the person."

"And I caught him and locked him up in the dungeon. If you were me, would you help me?"

Hearing this, Wei Huaian's heart sank. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to apologize to you, brother. As long as you can find Zhao Chongfeng, I'll prepare a banquet..."

Jiang Yun frowned: "How much is an apology plus a banquet worth?"

Wei Huaian heard the hidden meaning of Jiang Yun's words and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can find Zhao Chongfeng, I am willing to give you 200 taels of silver."

Jiang Yun frowned. This price was quite different from what he expected.

He looked at Xu Su beside him in confusion and asked, "Miss Xu, are all the generals of your Jinyiwei so poor?"

Xu Suwen guessed Jiang Yun's thoughts and knew that this guy had been wanting to make money for cultivation ever since he had practiced with the Five Elements Formation.

This time he finally got his chance.

Xu Suwen said calmly, "The chief flag of the Imperial Guard, the monthly salary is fifteen taels of silver."

Wei Huaian breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to say, "Look, this is all the money I have."

The next moment, Xu Suwen continued, "However, in recent years, many corrupt officials in General Wei's flag have had their homes confiscated, and I have participated in it. I think there are still three thousand taels of silver in the house."

Wei Huaian's heart trembled, and he said anxiously: "Miss Xu, please don't talk nonsense. Over the years, I have earned three thousand taels of silver, but most of it is..." Jiang Yun understood and said, "Okay, then one thousand taels."

"One thousand taels for a chance to make amends, isn't that too much?"

Wei Huaian widened his eyes, took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and gritted his teeth to agree: "Okay, as long as you can find Zhao Chongfeng, one thousand taels is one thousand taels, but you have to pay it after the matter is done."

One thousand taels of silver is not a small sum even for Wei Huaian.

Jiang Yun turned his head to look at Xu Suwen, who nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, if he breaks his promise, I will sell his mansion in the capital and give you the money. That mansion is worth much more than one thousand taels."

Seeing Xu Suwen say this, Jiang Yun was naturally relieved. He said, "In addition, I have another condition. Those people in the dungeon must be released."

Wei Huaian needed a favor, so of course he agreed to all the conditions.

Of course, the prerequisite is to capture Zhao Chongfeng.

"You have tortured Zhao Chongfeng, right? There should be some blood stains left in the dungeon. Collect them and bring them to me."

"Also, have someone prepare a set of four treasures for the study."

After Wei Huaian took note of it, he turned around and walked into the dungeon.

Xu Suwen asked calmly, "I didn't expect that when he brought you to the dungeon, you didn't get angry, but actually helped him catch the rebel again."

Jiang Yun said calmly: "Do I have any deep hatred with him?"

Xu Suwen shook his head.

Jiang Yun smiled faintly: "That's it, he gave me one thousand taels of silver, and I used a spell to help him find someone, it's a good deal."

If possible, Jiang Yun would like to do this kind of business every day.

After a pause, Jiang Yun also said: "Besides, if we don't help him catch Zhao Chongfeng, those people in the dungeon will most likely die in there."

Xu Suwen blinked and asked curiously, "In there, you are only familiar with Qian Buchou. What does the life and death of others have to do with you?"

Jiang Yun's face showed a serious look: "Miss Xu, maybe in the eyes of you and other Jinyiwei."

"Those inside are prostitutes, pimps, and brothels, all of whom are low-class people."

"But in my opinion, although everyone has different social status, people are still people."

"From the perspective of the Tao, there is no noble or humble thing. From the perspective of things, one is noble and others are humble. From the perspective of the world, nobility or humbleness does not lie in oneself."

After hearing what Jiang Yun said, Xu Suwen looked at Jiang Yun deeply, wondering what he was thinking.

Soon, many Jinyiwei followed Wei Huaian out of the dungeon.

In his hand was a blood-stained towel.

Jiang Yun squatted on the ground, lit the towel, burned it into black ash, and poured the black ash into the inkstone.

Then dip the brush in black ash and write the talisman on a piece of rice paper.

Then Jiang Yun folded the rice paper into a paper crane.

He chanted in a deep voice: "The destiny belongs to me, the nine heavens chase people. The three springs turn in the palm of my hand, and the paper crane searches for all living beings."

Then, the paper crane slowly flew up.

"Master Wei, follow Bai He and you will be able to find Zhao Chongfeng's whereabouts." Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "I helped you find the man, even if you didn't catch him."

“I still have to collect the money.”

　At the end of the previous chapter, I felt it was not smooth enough, so I modified it slightly.

　　To express my apology, I will add another chapter to inform everyone.

　　In addition, this plot will end soon, which can be regarded as a prelude to going to Beijing.

　　The outline of the capital chapter has basically been completed, it is extremely exciting ~ so stay tuned.
