Catching Monsters

Chapter 90: Mr. Zhang is dead

In the backyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Jiang Yun was following behind Xu Suwen, looking at the many exotic flowers and plants planted there.

Jiang Yun looked at the flowers and plants: "These flowers and plants are rarely seen outside."

Xu Suwen smiled faintly and introduced: "This is dragon tongue grass, fish gold flower, Chu root, jade plum grass..."

"These are not ordinary flowers and plants, but the best herbs for healing wounds and stopping bleeding."

"Once the battle on the front line becomes urgent, all flowers and plants will be quickly picked by special personnel and transported to the front line."

After listening to this, Jiang Yun nodded. Along the way, he could see many guards from time to time. The strength of these guards should be quite good.

"Jiang Yun, Jiang Qiaoqiao had better stay in the Duke's Mansion for a while." Xu Suwen was silent for a moment, then whispered: "The two traitors who were captured have already confessed in the Northern Pacification Office."

"The leader of the Red Lotus Cult has entered the capital."

"I don't know what these rebels are plotting. I'm afraid the capital will not be peaceful in the near future."

Listening to Xu Suwen's words, Jiang Yun nodded, and did not say anything polite to Xu Suwen: "Thank you very much."

"But having said that, I always felt that the way your mother looked at me today was a little strange."

Xu Suwen certainly knew what kind of person her mother was. She opened her mouth slightly, but it was not easy to speak out about such things.

It's impossible to say in front of Jiang Yun that your mother wants to marry you.

Xu Suwen's face turned slightly red, but fortunately it was dark and Jiang Yun didn't notice.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early."

Jiang Yun nodded, then found Xu Dingwu and Tao Yuelan, said goodbye and left.

Tao Yuelan was quite enthusiastic and invited me to come and sit with her if I had nothing to do.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Yun did not fall asleep, but continued to use gold to form a five-element magic circle and intensified his practice.

In the next few days, Jiang Yun would visit the Jinyiwei Yamen during the day. If there was nothing else to do, he would go back to the inn with Xu Xiaogang to practice.

For five consecutive days, Jiang Yun refined all the gold he got from Wei Huaian in one breath.

And the cultivation in the body also increased rapidly.

"call."

Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes. The magic power in his body had now reached the peak of the seventh level of Qigong.

In the room, Xu Xiaogang, who was practicing with spiritual energy, did not wake up. Instead, his brows were furrowed and beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

Jiang Yun observed from the side, but did not dare to disturb Xu Xiaogang at all.

This guy is about to break through.

Xu Xiaogang's physical body had long reached the peak of the seventh level of muscle refining in martial arts.

All along, there has been a lack of an opportunity for a breakthrough.

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and the person outside was about to knock on the door.

Jiang Yun quickly opened the door and saw that the person coming was Wei Huaian. He made a hushing gesture.

Wei Huaian glanced inside, eyes full of surprise: "Is he about to break through?"

Jiang Yun nodded slightly and gestured to go out and talk.

After gently closing the door, Jiang Yun asked, "Master Wei, is there anything wrong?"

As he spoke, he glanced outside and saw that it was already dark.

Wei Huaian said in a deep voice: "Well, we have to go back to the Jinyiwei Yamen as Captain Yang claims there is something important going on."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun left a note for Xu Xiaogang.

Then he and Wei Huaian quickly rushed back to the East Pacification Office.

Inside the East Pacification Office, about thirty people had gathered in the courtyard outside Captain Yang's study.

Yang Liunian stood in front of the crowd with a serious expression and his hands behind his back.

After Jiang Yun and Wei Huaian arrived.

Jiang Yun asked in a low voice: "What happened? Captain Yang looks so unhappy."

Wei Huaian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. Yang Liunian's eyes fell on Wei Huaian: "Wei Huaian, your people should be here, right?"

Wei Huaian said in a deep voice: "Sir, all my men are here."

Yang Liunian glanced at the people present: "Where is Xu Xiaogang? Didn't I assign him to your team as well?"

"He has special reasons and cannot be present for the time being." Wei Huaian explained.

"Okay." Yang Liunian nodded, and then slowly said: "Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Wenqi is dead."

"what?"

Jiang Yun's pupils shrank slightly. Didn't Zhang Wenqi just return to the capital and get a promotion?

died?

Wei Huaian's face also changed. He followed Zhang Wenqi back to Beijing because he knew that Zhang Wenqi was unwilling to go along with the rebels.

Even to the point of dying to show one's determination.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to it.

"Your Majesty suspects that it was the rebels who were seeking revenge against Lord Zhang."

"And give an order to capture the real culprit before dawn tomorrow." Yang Liunian gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "If this cannot be done, His Majesty will be very angry and the consequences will be serious."

"Master Zhang's residence has been sealed off. You are to go there and investigate the case immediately."

Wei Huaian's heart skipped a beat. Could he catch the real murderer before dawn?

He looked up and saw that it was almost completely dark.

It only took six hours.

If you can’t do it…

"Captain Yang, I..." Wei Huaian spoke anxiously, trying to refuse the task.

"As long as you solve the case before dawn, you will be the first officer." Captain Yang patted Wei Huaian's shoulder with a serious expression: "If you can't solve the case, His Majesty will be furious, and I will probably suffer. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Wei Huaian gritted his teeth, turned around to look at the thirty people behind him, and said, "Let's go to Zhang's house!"

After Zhang Wenqi returned to Beijing, the Emperor rewarded him with a mansion.

This is a five-courtyard house located on a busy street.

However, at this time, the entire Zhang Mansion had been tightly sealed off by soldiers from the North City Military Division.

No one except the Jinyiwei is allowed to enter.

Jiang Yun and his group rode at full speed to the gate of Zhang's mansion.

Qian Buchou was standing in front of Zhang's house with a gloomy face.

Seeing Jiang Yun appear, Qian Buchou quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, you are finally here."

"Lord Zhang is dead. It must be that group of rebels who want to take revenge!"

"It's over, it's over. You said Mr. Zhang is dead, and I just finished..."

Jiang Yun patted Qian Buchou's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Qian. Go in and see what's going on first."

"Don't worry, I have captured the housekeeper and several servants in the mansion."

After saying that, Qian Buchou waved his hand, and soon a group of soldiers came over, escorting a butler in his fifties.

Wei Huaian was anxious and said to Jiang Yun, "Brother Jiang, you interrogate the housekeeper first. I will take people in to search."

A group of Jinyiwei quickly filed in.

"Sir, I know nothing. I was just recruited into the Zhang Mansion. What happened to Mr. Zhang must have nothing to do with me." The housekeeper was so scared when he saw the Jinyiwei that his legs went limp. He begged, "It really has nothing to do with me. Please spare my life."

"What's your last name?" Jiang Yun asked.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Fugui."

"Butler Li, right? How did Mr. Zhang die? What was so strange about his death?"
