Catching Monsters

Chapter 146: Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple?

Jiang Yun also knew that although Xu Xiaogang seemed to be careless on weekdays, this guy did have principles and bottom lines.

When he first arrived in Nanzhou Prefecture, the prefect and others took turns giving him gifts, but Xu Xiaogang refused to accept a single cent.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Jiang Yun doesn't have so many psychological burdens.

at the same time……

"Xiao Hei, stop running around."

On the street behind the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Jiang Qiaoqiao was chasing Xiao Hei.

The little guy was cooing, jumping around on the street, and looking around, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, its eyes looked towards a shop on the street, which was a flower shop.

There are flowers shipped from all over the country.

Of course, this kind of shop can only be opened in a few big cities such as the capital.

Many places were still short of food and clothing, and only the wealthy ladies in the capital had the time to go to the flower shops to choose flowers.

At this time, a noble lady, accompanied by several servants, was preparing to settle the bill.

The servants also held pots of flowers and plants in their hands.

The noble lady was holding the silver and preparing to pay the bill.

Suddenly Xiao Hei jumped over and ate the loose silver in her hand in one gulp.

"Cuckoo."

"What the hell?" The lady was frightened by Xiao Hei who suddenly rushed out. Seeing this, several servants also rushed to beat him.

Bang bang bang.

The shopkeeper in the flower shop was so frightened that he was stunned and said hurriedly: "Oh, dear guest, you can't hit or smash it. This is Longxiang flower, which was shipped from the northern border. It is very precious."

"You can't smash this either. This is a herbaceous flower that will take ten years to bloom and bear fruit..."

The servants in the shop didn't care about that. This little thing scared their wife, so how could they let it go easily?
Soon, most of the flowers and plants in the flower shop were smashed by the group of people.

Finally, Xiao Hei ran out of the shop and jumped into Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms.

The shopkeeper and several servants rushed out and quickly surrounded Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"This is your pet, isn't it?" the shopkeeper said angrily, "Look, how many precious flowers and plants are destroyed inside. Which family are you from? You must pay for it."

Jiang Qiaoqiao was frightened and said hurriedly, "Boss, how much do you think you should pay?"

"At least three hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and asked for a sky-high price.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was stunned when she heard that she had to pay so much. She counted the money she had and realized she couldn't afford it.

At this time, many people came over curiously to watch the fun.

Many people were also whispering that although these flowers and plants were valuable, they were not worth three hundred taels of silver.

This is totally asking for an exorbitant price and bullying the girl.

However, no one among the crowd watching the excitement stepped forward to help, after all, it was none of their business.

In the crowd, there was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe. When he saw what was in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms, his eyes lit up slightly.

He walked forward and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, how can these few flowers and plants be worth so much money?"

"This money should be paid at my Baiyun Temple."

When the shopkeeper heard that this person was actually a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple, a smile immediately broke out on his face and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then, the Taoist priest bowed and said to Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Miss, I am Guiyuanzi from Baiyun Temple. Can you give me the little thing in your arms? Of course, I will pay for it."

"Not for sale." Jiang Qiaoqiao hugged Xiao Hei tightly in her arms and shook her head repeatedly.

Gui Yuanzi smiled and slowly took out a talisman in his hand: "This is an evil item. If you don't sell it to me, I will not be polite."

...The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Yun was promoted to the general flag, so naturally he had to treat everyone to a meal. His subordinates, including Xu Xiaogang, a total of twelve people, went to Wangyue Pavilion to have a good meal and drinks.

Seeing that it was getting late, I went home.

Xu Xiaogang followed beside him, feeling a little pained, and said, "Brother-in-law, next time you treat me, can you pay the bill yourself?..."

"You saw it too. Didn't I give all the money to Captain Yang?"

"Where is the money to pay the bill?"

"I'll return it to you when I make money."

As Jiang Yun spoke, he felt a bit of a headache because Changxin Temple was still waiting for money.

I am penniless now, where can I get money...

When I returned to the mansion, I didn't expect that there were not many people in the entire mansion.

From a distance, I saw Wu Chi with an anxious look on his face.

"Hey, Butler Wu, why are all the gatekeepers gone?" Xu Xiaogang walked up and asked in confusion.

Wu Chi couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yun, and then he said in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang is missing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun instantly lost all the drunkenness and sobered up.

Wu Chi continued, "It's almost dark. Normally, Miss Jiang would have dinner with the lady at the mansion."

"Even if there is something, Miss Jiang is so sensible that she will definitely say hello in advance."

"After hearing about it, the young lady and the mistress have already gone out to look for him personally. The servants in our mansion are also going door to door to inquire."

At this moment, a servant rushed in and said breathlessly: "Butler Wu, I found out that Miss Jiang appeared in the flower shop on the street behind in the afternoon."

"Now the flower shop has been surrounded by us."

"Let's go!" Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

The group quickly rushed towards the flower shop.

At this time, the entrance of the flower shop was surrounded by servants from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Xu Suwen stood at the door with a cold face. The shopkeeper had already been dragged out by the servants.

The shopkeeper was about forty years old and was already very frightened at this time.

The flowers in the shop had been almost smashed, and he was about to close the shop when suddenly this group of people rushed in and asked him if he had seen a little girl.

He thought that this group of people were the girl's family, and they were trying to use the fact that the shop was smashed to get some money.

But I didn't expect that after hearing it, the other person actually dragged me out of the store.

Later, I found out that they were actually servants of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Jiang Yun, Xu Xiaogang and Wu Chi also ran over quickly.

Xu Suwen looked up, nodded to Jiang Yun, and then asked in a deep voice: "Where is Jiang Qiaoqiao?"

"I know nothing. The girl was just holding a black pet." The shopkeeper glanced at it.

Seeing two more Jinyiwei in Feiyu uniforms coming, he thought something was wrong, and then told them everything that had happened today.

"Then a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple told me to go to Baiyun Temple to collect the money."

"Then, let the little girl give him the pet in her arms."

"But the little girl didn't want to, guess what."

"The Taoist priest actually stuck a yellow talisman on the girl's back, and the girl seemed to fall asleep and followed him."

"The pet followed."

"A Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple?" Jiang Yun's expression gradually darkened.
