Catching Monsters

Chapter 77: The Haunted Buddhist Temple

Soon, many servants came and moved all the pots, pans, and utensils brought from the Jiang family's courtyard into the yard.

These were the possessions she and her brother had saved. Although they were worthless things, they were all bought with her hard work and money earned bit by bit.

She was reluctant to throw it away, so Jiang Yun let her take it along.

Of course Jiang Yun would not object, since it was also a convoy of the Imperial Guards...

Looking at Xu Suwen and Jiang Qiaoqiao who were busy in the yard.

Tao Yuelan, who was standing outside the yard, arranged for Wu Chi to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Wu Chi also whispered in Tao Yuelan's ear: "Madam, the young master is back too, how about notifying him to come back for dinner?"

Tao Yuelan: "Don't worry about him. He's already grown up, how can he starve?"

Wu Chi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Madam, this Jiang Qiaoqiao should be the sister of Jiang Yun..."

"Jiang Yun?" Tao Yuelan frowned slightly. Xu Suwen went out to carry out the mission. Captain Yang of the Jinyiwei would send people to report Xu Suwen's situation to the Duke's Mansion every few days.

Just to report that I'm safe.

Of course, Jiang Yun was among them...

Tao Yuelan pondered for a moment and whispered, "What about the scholar Jiang Yun?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, why would Su Wen bring that scholar's sister back to the capital?"

"Is it possible..."

"A scholar is not bad. When he passes the imperial examination, our master will find him a position in the court..."

The more Tao Yuelan spoke, the more she liked Jiang Qiaoqiao. She didn't care about her status and went into the yard to help move things.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao saw this, she quickly said, "Aunt, let's move. Your clothes are valuable. If they get torn..."

"Not expensive, not expensive."

……

The next morning, in a breakfast shop not far from the Jinyiwei East Pacification Office, Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang were sitting at a wooden table, eating fried cakes.

Seeing Xu Suwen's figure from a distance, he quickly stood up and raised his hand to greet him.

When the other party came closer, Jiang Yun picked up a pancake and handed it over: "Miss Xu, how is my sister at your house? I hope she didn't cause you any trouble."

Xu Suwen looked a little strange, took the pancake and took a bite, then said, "No, it's just that my mother seems to have some misunderstandings..."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Xu Suwen looked towards the Zhenfusi Yamen and said, "It's okay, let's go. I'll take you to the job today."

Jiang Yun quickly stuffed the pancake into his mouth and urged Xu Xiaogang beside him: "Eat quickly, and then leave."

Xu Xiaogang was stunned when he saw his freshly baked fried cake in the bowl, which was taken away by Jiang Yun and given to Xu Suwen.

Seeing that the two had already walked away: "Hey, wait, I'm still hungry."

He quickly took out a few copper coins, threw them on the table, and chased after him.

The East Pacification Office occupies a large area, but there are not many people inside.

After Jiang Yun followed Xu Suwen in, he didn't see many staff members on the road.

Xu Suwen walked in front and introduced, "Our East Pacification Division is quite special."

"The Northern Pacification Office monitors all officials. It has the largest number of people among the Jinyiwei. People are stationed all over the country to keep an eye on them."

"Your Majesty needs to keep abreast of the situation of officials in various places."

"As for the East Pacification Division, our main responsibility is to deal with evil people and demons. The standard for recruiting is that the minimum strength is to be at the eighth level."

"So the threshold is relatively high. And once you join the Eastern Pacification Division, you will be an official of the ninth rank."

"The small flag is of the eighth rank."

"The general flag is a seventh rank."

"A hundred households are of the sixth rank." "A thousand households are of the fifth rank."

"It is also because of the special nature of our East Pacification Division that ordinary Jinyiwei have ranks."

"The ordinary Jinyiwei of the North and South Pacification Divisions are not considered to be of high rank."

At this point, Xu Suwen paused and said to Jiang Yun seriously: "Our East Pacification Division has always been short of manpower, although there are many warriors practicing martial arts in the world."

"But when we, the Jinyiwei, travel, we represent His Majesty and have very strict standards for conduct and morality."

"Second, the casualty rate of our East Pacification Division is very high."

"The commander and deputy commander of the East Pacification Division rarely come to the government office. The two thousand households are in charge."

"Masters Yang Liunian and Zhou Yi."

"The person I will take you to see later is Captain Yang."

Jiang Yun remembered Xu Suwen's words deeply.

Soon, they arrived at the door of a large study, and Xu Suwen walked up and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

With a creak, Xu Suwen pushed the door open. Inside sat a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a thousand-householder.

At this time, there were many dishes on his desk, and he was eating them early in the morning with his mouth full of oil.

Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang were accustomed to this scene and took Jiang Yun into the study.

Xu Suwen raised his hand and said, "Master Yang, this is the Jiang Yun I mentioned to you."

"Hmm?" Yang Liunian raised his head with a smile on his face, and Jiang Yun saluted with his fists.

This Captain Yang did not have the murderous aura of the Jinyiwei at all. On the contrary, he was very friendly.

He gives people the appearance of a rich master.

Yang Liunian picked up a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains off his mouth, then he slowly said, "He is indeed a handsome man, not bad, not bad."

"To join our Jinyiwei, you have to go through a lot of tests..."

Xu Su asked: "Master Yang, given Jiang Yun's ability, those ordinary tests are unnecessary, right?"

"Hey, Miss Xu, look at you, I'll give you some face." Yang Liunian said, rummaging around on the desk, took out a cowhide bag, and threw it over: "This case was a hot topic in the capital a few days ago."

"Let Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang go and take a look."

Jiang Yun raised his hand to take the cowhide bag, while Xu Suwen frowned: "Master Qianhu, are you giving him an assessment on this case?"

"Many people have looked into this case, but none of them have a clue." Yang Liunian said, and continued to eat the dishes on the table: "I have read the report about him. Solving this case should be easy."

"Go ahead and get him a set of Jinyiwei clothes."

"I recognize his ability."

The three of them walked out of Captain Yang's study.

Jiang Yun was a little surprised. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Suwen beside him and asked in a low voice: "Report?"

Xu Suwen took a deep breath and said speechlessly, "I wrote it."

She learned that Jiang Yun wanted to join the Jinyiwei, so of course she praised Jiang Yun to the skies in her report.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to enter the Jinyiwei.

"Let's see what the case is first."

Jiang Yun opened the cowhide bag, took out the files inside and read them carefully.

"The Haunted Buddhist Temple Case."

Jiang Yun was confused. What the hell?
Is the Buddhist temple haunted?

Aren’t Buddhist temples filled with monks and statues of Buddha?
What the hell, how dare you go to a place like this?
　I continued writing after eating.

　　Wait a minute, everyone...

　　Yesterday a reader gave a reward to the leader, so there should be an extra chapter today~
