Catching Monsters

Chapter 93: Who is causing trouble?
Wei Huaian and Jiang Yun, who were standing outside the door, looked at each other.

Jiang Yun thought for a moment, then called a Jinyiwei next to him and whispered a few words to him.

Afterwards, Jiang Yun followed Wei Huaian into the imperial prison.

After entering the room, Wei Huaian rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go up and help with the torture.

Jiang Yun quickly stopped him and shouted to Qi Da, “Stop!”

Jiang Yun walked up quickly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qi, what are you doing? I told you that we asked Lord Zheng to come over just to ask about the situation. How can you torture Lord Zheng?"

Qi Da understood instantly and said in a deep voice: "This guy is dishonest and uncooperative. When we caught him, he even wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide."

"There must be some conspiracy on this person's part."

When Zheng Zailu heard someone speaking for him, he slowly opened his eyes.

Jiang Yun smiled and raised his hand to bow: "Master Zheng, my name is Jiang Yun, and you should know the reason why I asked you to come."

"At noon today, Lord Zhang Wenqi drank with you and Jia Xuyang, and then he died suddenly when he returned home."

"Mr. Zhang was highly valued by His Majesty. If he dies, there must be an explanation, right?"

Zheng Zailu trembled slightly, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "My lords, I really don't know anything."

"You're still being stubborn." Upon hearing this, Qi Da, who was holding a branding iron, pressed the red-hot iron hard on Zheng Zairu's thigh.

Instantly, a sizzling sound and a faint aroma of barbecue wafted up.

"Ah!" Zheng Zailu grimaced in pain and struggled continuously.

Jiang Yun hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Qi Da: "Brother Qi, look at you, maybe Lord Zheng just didn't remember it for a moment, why are you so anxious?"

After pushing Qi Da away, Jiang Yun looked at Zheng Zailu: "Master Zheng, you can tell us whatever concerns you have and we can talk about it."

As he spoke, Jiang Yun glanced in the direction of the door: "But you have to speak before Jia Xuyang."

"This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation."

"Captain Yang said that whoever of you speaks first and provides important clues will be allowed to live."

"This is considered to be breaking the rules of our Jinyiwei."

Zheng Zai Lu raised his head in fear, his eyes flickering: "After entering your Jinyiwei prison, how can I get out alive?"

"You think you can trick me with this little trick?"

Jiang Yun shrugged: "It's okay, Master Zheng, if you don't want to say it, Master Jia might be willing to do so."

Qi Da picked up the rattan whip and started beating Zheng Zhailu hard.

After a while, outside the prison, a Jinyiwei guard whom Jiang Yun had ordered in advance rushed in with a happy look on his face: "General Wei, Lord Qi, Jia Xuyang can't bear it anymore and confessed."

"Haha, good!" Wei Huaian showed a look of joy on his face.

The people in the room no longer cared about Zheng Zhailu and left together.

Soon, Zheng Zailu was the only one left in the prison...

Zheng Zai Lu was exhausted both physically and mentally at this time, and he was filled with fear.

Given what they had done, they would definitely not survive, and it was impossible for Jia Xuyang to confess.

It is absolutely impossible.

If he confessed, he would have no way to survive.

unless……

Put all the blame on yourself.

Zheng Zai Lu trembled all over and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Sweat continued to form on his forehead.

What should I do? Confess?

What if this group of Jinyiwei are trying to cheat me?
If you don't recruit, you'll probably end up dead.

Zheng Zai Lu's mind was a mess at this time, and he didn't know how much time had passed.

The door creaked and opened again.

The two people who came in were Qi Da and Jiang Yun.

Qi Da yawned, looked at Zheng Zailu impatiently, and asked Jiang Yun: "Jia Xuyang has confessed, what should we do with this man?"

Jiang Yun said calmly: "Jia Xuyang claimed that he was also innocent and was completely deceived by this guy."

"This guy will probably end up being tortured to death." "Jia Xuyang will probably also be exiled to the frontier, but at least he can save his life."

"Anyway, as long as the case is solved, no matter who did it."

"Just give an explanation to the higher-ups."

As they were talking, the two men walked forward and transferred Zheng Zai Lu to a cell in the imperial prison.

Close the iron door and leave.

Zheng Zailu sat on the cold ground of the iron prison, as if he had made up his mind, and hurriedly shouted: "My two lords, don't go, don't go, I say."

Jiang Yun shook his head: "Jia Xuyang has confessed everything, what's the point of you telling him or not?"

"I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it."

Zheng Zai Lu took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "What Jia Xuyang told you is that it must be that people from our Ministry of War colluded and resold the military supplies, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun paused: "That's right."

"But he certainly didn't tell you that this batch of military supplies was sold to the northern barbarians!"

Hearing his last words, Qi Da's face changed drastically, and Jiang Yun was also stunned.

This group of people are so brave!

To be honest, considering the nature of the Great Zhou officialdom, reselling military supplies is not really a strange operation.

Even if someone finds out, I can just spend some money to get through.

Normally, these exchanged military supplies would be purchased by bandits or gangsters from all over the place.

But the quantity will not be too large.

It would have been fine if the imperial court had turned a blind eye, after all, some of the old weapons had already reached the point where they needed to be replaced.

However, the northern Hu people were a powerful enemy of the Zhou Dynasty and had invaded its borders many times in recent years.

Doing so is a capital crime punishable by treason.

Jiang Yun and Qi Da forced themselves to suppress the shock on their faces.

Jiang Yun turned around and said calmly, "It seems that Lord Jia Xuyang did not tell the truth."

"Master Zheng, please continue."

"Zhang, Lord Zhang Wenqi died unjustly..." Zheng Zailu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "He just arrived at the Ministry of War and served as the right assistant minister. It's the end of the year, and according to convention, it is necessary to check the military supply stocks in various places."

"He discovered that a large number of weapons and military supplies had disappeared, and he thought he had evidence..."

"This batch of weapons is what Lord Jia Xuyang and I are responsible for."

"He came to the two of us and threatened us to give him 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise he would investigate thoroughly."

"How can we come up with so much money?"

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "So, you just killed him?"

"Who killed him?"

Zheng Zailu was just about to speak when suddenly, his eyes widened, veins on his neck bulged, and his hands kept grabbing towards his neck.

"Oops!"

Jiang Yun's face changed drastically, and he and Qi Da rushed to the prison.

When the prison door can be opened.

Zheng Zairu inside used such great strength in his hands that he strangled his own neck with a crisp click.

boom……

Zheng Zhailu was lying on the ground, dead and no longer breathing.

At the same time, a stream of black smoke and ghostly aura floated out from Zheng Zailu's body.

This is actually a ferocious evil ghost.

Jiang Yun took out a yellow talisman and slapped it with his palm, instantly catching the evil ghost.

Evil spirits possess and kill people?
Jiang Yun shouted in a deep voice, "Who is causing this trouble?"
