Catching Monsters

Chapter 87 Asking for Credit
The imperial prison of the Eastern Pacification Office was located in the backyard and was a tightly enclosed house.

The walls were made of solid steel, and the interior was spacious, divided into many cells, while in the center, there were countless torture instruments.

There were still blood stains on each torture instrument, making it look terrifying.

At this moment, Cui Liyuan was tied to an iron pillar.

Entangled in the iron chains, Cui Liyuan's mentality was on the verge of collapse. He originally thought that as long as Xia Jijiu came forward, he would be safe.

But suddenly Abbot Hongzhen appeared.

Here comes another Duke of Zhenguo...

This case is getting bigger and bigger.

He knew the methods of the Jinyiwei. This place was a purgatory on earth, with countless kinds of torture that made life worse than death.

Cui Liyuan knew that he would not be able to bear it once the torture began.

His legs were trembling a little.

But at this moment, the chief judge of the Jinyiwei came in and asked the other Jinyiwei to retreat.

Then Jiang Yun came up to him with a smile on his face and said, "Cui Liyuan, the following conversation is only known to you and me, so I want to talk to you..."

Cui Liyuan was already on the verge of despair. Hearing Jiang Yun's words, he slowly raised his head with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Jiang Yun looked around vigilantly and said in a deep voice: "I am the presiding judge of this case. I have the final say on how to judge. Do you understand?"

"What are you..."

Jiang Yun lowered his voice and whispered: "I am a scholar, I have passed the examination and have admired the Renyi Academy for a long time, and I want to help you."

Hearing this, Cui Liyuan frowned and asked with caution: "You want to help me?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "First, I have admired Renyi Academy for a long time, and second, I don't want to judge your case."

"I am just an ordinary Jinyiwei. If I really sentence you, I will probably have to offend all the people in Renyi Academy."

"How can I survive in the capital in the future?"

"There are so many of us in the Jinyiwei, why do you want me, a new Jinyiwei, to try the case?"

When Cui Liyuan heard this, he nodded repeatedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "That's right, little brother, you have to think clearly. I have many classmates and colleagues. If something happens to me, they will not let you go."

"As long as you help me, there will be a big reward later."

Jiang Yun nodded, patted Cui Liyuan on the shoulder, and said, "After the matter is accomplished, I also hope that Master Cui Ru can help me join the Renyi Academy. I am afraid that I can't stay in the Jinyiwei anymore."

"In addition, I want three hundred taels of silver."

When Cui Liyuan heard Jiang Yun's request, he narrowed his eyes, smiled faintly, and nodded in agreement: "This is a small matter, don't worry, little brother, when we get to Renyi Academy, I will teach you personally."

"Then I'll thank Master Cui Ru here first." Jiang Yun sighed: "But Master Cui Ru, you are confused. There are so many girls in the Jiaofangsi, why do you want to touch those girls in Changxin Temple?"

"Fortunately, I am the chief judge. I will try to catch the two evil spirits and throw them near Changxin Temple. Once they are caught, the case can be closed."

Cui Liyuan heard this and took a look. He saw that there were only himself and Jiang Yun in the room. He sighed, "Ah, I didn't expect that there would be a censor's wife among them. Otherwise, how could the matter have become so serious, alas."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun smiled and reminded in a deep voice: "Master Cui Ru, I'll take my leave first. When my colleagues from the Jinyiwei come in later, I'm afraid they will torture you severely as a show."

"Don't say anything, don't admit it, understand?"

Cui Liyuan nodded and looked at Jiang Yun gratefully: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

……

In the lobby, he listened to the conversation coming from the note in Xu Xiaogang's hand.

Xia Boran, the chief priest, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. This guy really did it!

A distinguished Confucian teacher at Renyi Academy actually used the technique of transforming into another body to rape women!
It even forced the wife of a censor to commit suicide!
Xu Dingwu glanced at Xia Boran and said with a faint smile: "Xia Jijiu, your Renyi Academy, the two words Renyi, I'm afraid you have to change the name."

At this time, Jiang Yun also returned to the trial hall and looked at Xia Boran: "Master Jijiu, you should have heard what I said just now?" Xia Boran closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "He is not from my Renyi Academy..."

"At least from this moment on, not anymore."

"You Jinyiwei are free to do whatever you want with me."

So many people heard what Cui Liyuan said, and there was nothing he could do to help this guy.

After saying that, he waved his hand and strode away.

"Amitabha, now that the real murderer has been found, we can finally clear the injustice for our Buddhist sect." Monk Hongzhen's face showed no joy or sadness. He stood up and left calmly.

Jiang Yunze quickly stepped forward, came to Xu Dingwu, bowed with both hands, and thanked him: "Thank you uncle for coming to help..."

If Xu Dingwu had not come, it would have been impossible to take Cui Liyuan to the imperial prison.

Xu Dingwu narrowed his eyes, looked at Jiang Yun carefully, then laughed and said, "Good boy, not bad."

After saying that, he waved his hand and left carelessly.

Many Jinyiwei present also looked at Jiang Yun with interest.

Soon, the news that the haunted temple case had been solved reached the ears of the two captains, Yang Liunian and Zhou Yi.

For a moment, Yang Liunian stopped catching the bandits outside the city.

Zhou Yi Qianhu no longer missed his father and mother.

They all returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

In Yang Liunian's study.

In Yang Liunian's hand, was a file that recorded the process of solving the case in detail.

Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang stood in front of him.

"Not bad, not bad." Yang Liunian looked at the case file with satisfaction and couldn't help but praise: "The evidence is irrefutable. The case has been solved."

"You did a good job, Jiang Yun." Yang Liunian looked at him and said, "From today on, you are officially a member of our Jinyiwei. Start by working for General Wei."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Jiang Yun nodded respectfully.

"As for Xu Xiaogang, he also contributed a lot in helping to solve the case."

"Wait, I will go to the commander-in-chief right away and ask for credit for you two."

Yang Liunian's eyes lit up; this major case was solved by his men.

The position of Pacification Commissioner in the Eastern Pacification Division has been vacant for a long time, and both he and Zhou Yi have been eyeing it.

He left in a hurry and came before the commander.

"Sir, I heard that mad dog Liu Bufu insulted you in the court."

"How could I let you be humiliated like this? I have worked very hard to solve this case. I immediately mobilized people to arrest Cui Liyuan."

“Then the interrogation will begin.”

"Of course, the credit doesn't all belong to me alone."

"Also, Commander, you have taught me well. I have learned a lot from you, and that is why we were able to solve this case in such a short time."

The commander looked at the file and was very satisfied: "Not bad, I will go to His Majesty and recommend you for merit."

The commander was overjoyed and went into the palace immediately.

"Your Majesty, I know that you attach great importance to this case. After returning, I will immediately mobilize people to arrest Cui Liyuan and begin interrogation."

"Of course, the reason why we were able to solve this case so quickly is because Your Majesty is always wise and decisive. I was able to learn a little bit from you and solve the case so quickly..."
