Catching Monsters

Chapter 161 Solution

The group of people looked pale and gathered around the two of them.

Jiang Yun's eyes were fixed on Qi Huanshu at this moment. He knew very well that Qi Huanshu alone would not dare to cause trouble for him.

There must be someone behind this.

As for who was behind this, it was not difficult to guess, although he had offended many people in the capital.

For example, before, a large number of children of powerful people were arrested. When people thought about this, they must be unhappy with me, but they would not really target me.

Besides, the other party still used Gugu as an excuse.

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes and slowly pinched a yellow talisman that he carried with him in his hand.

At this moment, the door of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion creaked open.

Wu Chi held a stick in his hand and waved his hand: "Quick, Young Master Jiang has people surrounding him!"

In fact, when this group of people gathered at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Wu Chi had already discovered them and called many servants to the gate.

If this group of people were really bold enough, they would really dare to crash into the gate of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The servants in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are not vegetarians.

Many of these servants were previously Xu Dingwu's personal guards. Now, because they were either old or injured, they were arranged to come back and serve as servants.

If under any other circumstances this group of civilians from the outer city dared to surround the Duke's Mansion, they would have been beaten up and driven away by these servants.

However, most of these people were infected with the disease, so Wu Chi didn't dare to open the door and drive them away easily.

But seeing Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiaoqiao being surrounded, he could no longer sit still.

Soon, dozens of lively servants surrounded them.

"Beat them!" Wu Chi waved his hand without any further ado, and a group of servants armed with sticks beat the group of people so hard that they fled in panic.

Seeing this, Qi Huanshu secretly thought that something was wrong and tried to escape while covering his head. Jiang Yun protected Jiang Qiaoqiao and quickly walked out of the crowd.

After sending Jiang Qiaoqiao to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he turned around and chased after Qi Huanshu.

How could Jiang Yun let this guy escape?

Jiang Yun took a stick from Wu Chi, rushed forward, and knocked Qi Huanshu to the ground with one blow.

Qi Huanshu fell to the ground in pain. He looked up at Jiang Yun and his face changed slightly. He said hurriedly, "General Jiang, General Jiang, I just want to ask you to cure their illness."

"Kind?" Jiang Yun said slowly with a cold face, "You are really kind. If you ask me to help you cure your illness, shouldn't you come to visit me?"

"I……"

Jiang Yun turned around and waved to Wu Chi who was not far away. Soon, Wu Chi understood, took out a rope from his waist, ran over, and tied Qi Huanshu up.

"I'm not interested in asking you here slowly. Once we get to the Imperial Prison, I have plenty of ways to make you talk." Jiang Yun laughed.

When Qi Huanshu heard the word "Imperial Prison", his legs went weak. His cousin Qi Da was a small flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. When he was eating and drinking, he often heard Qi Da talk about what the Imperial Prison was like.

And what kind of severe torture would be suffered by those imprisoned in the imperial prison.

Qi Huanshu trembled all over and said anxiously: "General Jiang, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

"A Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple came to me and asked me to bring people here to cause trouble."

It turned out that Qi Huanshu, after being cured of the plague two days ago, was very proud and went around drinking and looking for friends, bragging that he had contracted the plague. However, he had strong connections, and his cousin, who was a member of the Jinyiwei, had asked someone to cure his disease for him.

Somehow, this news reached the ears of the Taoist priests in Baiyun Temple.

The Taoist priest came and gave him two hundred taels of silver, asking him for a favor. He gathered some people at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, claiming that Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiaoqiao had the means to treat the plague.

At this point, Qi Huanshu's heart trembled slightly, and he whispered: "That Taoist priest also said that as long as you promise to treat people, he will bring people from the outer city to come continuously."

"In our capital, the number of people infected with the disease, according to preliminary estimates, is tens of thousands. As long as the news spreads, countless people will come."

"And by then, even if you want to treat these people, there has to be a certain order..."

"If there are enough people, all it takes is a little incitement to make you suffer greatly..."

"If you are unwilling to treat them, it would be even better. You can claim that the plague was brought by the evil thing in your sister's arms. If you want to eradicate the plague, you, your sister, and the evil thing must be burned as a sacrifice to the gods, and then the plague will disappear."

Qi Huanshu said hurriedly, "Sir, I am blinded by money. Please let me go. I am willing to give you all the two hundred taels of silver."

Qi Huanshu also had a lot of grievances in his heart, but he couldn't say it. As the saying goes, one should not blame the masses, not to mention that his cousin was originally a minor flag of the Jinyiwei, plus the temptation of two hundred taels of silver... Jiang Yun glanced at him coldly and said, "Even if I raid your house, the money is still mine."

After saying that, Jiang Yun took out a piece of cloth and covered Qi Huanshu's mouth, too lazy to listen to this guy's nonsense.

"Uncle Wu, find a few people to send him to the East Pacification Office and put him in prison." Jiang Yun turned and said to Wu Chi.

Wu Chi nodded repeatedly and looked back. The group of people who had followed Qi Huanshu to cause trouble had been beaten and fled in all directions.

Soon four servants were called in and Qi Huanshu was taken away.

Jiang Yun walked back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with a gloomy face.

It was Baiyun Temple that sent people to target me.

Jiang Yun was not surprised by this. Master Bai Chen did not look like he would let him go easily.

The other party's plan was vicious. He actually wanted to burn himself and Qiaoqiao to death.

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though Qi Huanshu was caught, it didn't mean the matter was over.

Baiyun Temple can also find a second or third person to incite the people and cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun frowned slightly, but soon, his brows relaxed.

A smile appeared on his face, and he already had an idea of a countermeasure.

Walking into the Zhenguo Mansion, Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was hiding behind the door, hugged Xiao Hei and asked Jiang Yun in a low voice: "Brother, if they want to cure the disease, why are they still so fierce and fierce, and why don't they talk to us properly?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun shook his head and reminded Jiang Qiaoqiao, "These people are either bad or stupid."

"Qiaoqiao, you have to remember that even if you have the ability to cure them, it is not our obligation."

"Xiao Hei alone can't save everyone."

"People are like this. Even if you cure 20 or 30 people, the remaining people who were not saved will hate you instead. They will hate why you saved others instead of them."

Jiang Qiaoqiao asked in confusion, "Will saving people also lead to hatred?"

"Yes." Jiang Yun touched her forehead and reminded her, "In the days ahead, don't leave the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion unless Eunuch Feng from the palace comes to take you to see Concubine Shu."

After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Jiang Qiaoqiao nodded thoughtfully.

"I have to go out for a while, you go back and rest first."

Jiang Qiaoqiao carried Xiao Hei back to the yard where they lived. Xu Suwen was practicing punches and kicks on a wooden man.

Seeing her coming back, Xu Suwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled, and asked, "Are you back? Have those people at the door left?"

"Uncle Wu beat him away." Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded.

Xu Suwen nodded and didn't care about the people who were making trouble at the door. Even if that group of people had more courage, they probably wouldn't dare to really attack the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"What did His Majesty call you over for?" Xu Suwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a look of curiosity on his face.

Jiang Qiaoqiao then tells the story of her encounter with Concubine Shu in the palace.

After saying this, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh: "The palace is really big, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the past, how could she have imagined that she would be able to visit the palace in this life.

After listening to this, Xu Suwen's eyes lit up slightly and he looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with some surprise.

As a member of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, she had of course heard many stories about Concubine Shu.

It is said that this Concubine Shu is quite favored by His Majesty, but she is aloof and difficult to get along with.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiaoqiao could chat with her.

This is definitely a good thing for the two brothers and sisters.

Afterwards, Xu Suwen asked the group of people at the door why they were making trouble.

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't explain this, and shook her head: "But from what my brother said, those people were instigated by someone and they came here to cause trouble on purpose."

Someone is deliberately causing trouble? And they are causing trouble in front of our Zhenguogong Mansion?
Xu Suwen listened, frowned and asked, "Where's Jiang Yun? Didn't he come back with us?"

"My brother said he had to go out for a while, maybe to find a solution."

Xu Suwen looked up at the sky. It was almost dark. Where was Jiang Yun going in the middle of the night?
