Catching Monsters

Chapter 200 Fang Jiuyou

Qi Da's worries are not without reason. People in this world also attach great importance to being buried in peace, and most of them are buried.

The richer and more powerful people are, the more they value this.

Of course, Qi Da was the only one who was worried about this problem. Jiang Yun didn't care at all: "If someone comes to cause trouble because of this, just put him in the imperial prison. He will behave himself after two days."

Qi Da could only nod in agreement. To be honest, in the entire East Pacification Division, Captain Jiang was probably the only one who would so casually arrest someone and put him in the imperial prison.

It can only be Jiang Yun...

After all, it's notorious.

If Qi Da dared to do this and arbitrarily arrested others and put them in prison, there would naturally be endless revenge and trouble.

And take revenge on Jiang Yun?
They captured dozens of children of powerful people in one go and they were all safe and sound.

"The most urgent task is to find this monster." Jiang Yun frowned slightly, "Also send someone to ask nearby merchants if there is anything unusual this morning."

"Yes."

Soon, the Jinyiwei under Jiang Yun entered the house and piled the bodies together. Jiang Yun took out a yellow talisman and said in a deep voice:

"The true fire of Samadhi, the light flows for thousands of miles. It illuminates the heaven and earth, and shines in all directions. The rivers and seas are boiling, and the demons are hiding. The Southern Dipper descends, and the light of Samadhi flows."

"Refine the fetus to change the quality, refine the soul to make it healthy. All the monsters will die and fly away on the smoke. Hurry up and obey the command."

Then, a blazing Samadhi Fire gushed out from Jiang Yun's mouth.

Soon all the bodies began to burn rapidly.

All the corpses were engulfed in raging flames. Strange cries of spiders could be heard from the corpses. An endless stream of spiders crawled out of the corpses, trying to escape, but when they touched the Samadhi Fire, they turned into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yun frowned tightly. Not long after, all the corpses turned into a pile of ashes.

"Have someone mix the ashes evenly. When the deceased's family members come, give each of them some to take back." Jiang Yun turned around and instructed his men.

Jiang Yun looked up and observed the surroundings of the teahouse. What made him wonder at this moment was, what did this monster want to do?

Lay eggs and transform into a monster?

wrong.

If it was just laying eggs to create a monster, it should have found a secluded place, tricked some people into killing it, and then used the corpses to hatch it.

In the inner city of the capital, suddenly killing so many people would be discovered no matter what.

Unless, its purpose is not to lay eggs, but to kill people.

But if that’s the case, why leave insect eggs in these corpses?
This question made Jiang Yun a little confused.

Finally, Zida turned around and came over, followed by a man dressed as a shop owner.

"This is the owner of the teahouse, his name is Wang Wuchi."

Wang Wuchi felt dizzy. He never expected that such a thing would happen in his own teahouse.

"Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me..." After Wang Wuchi entered the room, he quickly knelt down to Jiang Yun.

As a teahouse owner, he had naturally heard many anecdotes about the Jinyiwei, and he also knew that this group of people would do anything to achieve their goals.

Now that so many people suddenly died in the teahouse he opened, he felt as if the legendary Imperial Prison was waving at him.

Thinking of this, he felt his legs go weak.

Jiang Yun remained calm, stepped forward to help him up, and asked in a deep voice, "Boss Wang, right?"

"Since you are the shopkeeper here, why are you okay?"

Wang Wuchi explained helplessly: "Today I went to Qinchafang to purchase goods, and the staff of Qinchafang can testify for me."

"Send someone to the Qinchafang to ask." Jiang Yun casually instructed Qi Da who was standing beside him, and then asked: "Do you know where the new storyteller lives?"

Hearing this, Wang Wuchi said in a deep voice: "That, that is a weird person."

"wack?"

Wang Wuchi nodded and continued, "I only know that the man is called Fang Jiuyou. He is a businessman in his thirties who often comes to our place to listen to stories."

"A few days ago, Fang Jiuyou suddenly told me that he also wanted to go on stage to tell stories and experience it, and he also gave me thirty taels of silver."

"I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I agreed right away. Who would have thought this would happen?"

Fang Jiuyou?
Qi Da was quick to answer: "I'll ask someone to find out if there's a businessman named Fang Jiuyou nearby."

"No need to ask." Wang Wuchi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This Fang Jiuyou is a guest of Mr. Qin Sanye. It is said that he came to the capital from other places."

Mr. Qin San?
"The third master Qin is called Qin Yuntao. He is a wealthy man in our capital. His businesses are spread all over the capital." Qi Da knew that Jiang Yun did not know much about the situation in the capital, so he spoke out.

Qin Yuntao?
Jiang Yun frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Does he have another son named Qin Shujian?"

Isn't this a coincidence?
Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the Qin Mansion."

"Yes." Qi Da nodded quickly.

Jiang Yun, along with more than a dozen Jinyiwei, quickly rushed to the Qin Mansion.

The Qin Mansion is extremely large, with five courtyards. The previous owner of the house was a former minister in the capital. He later resigned and left the capital, and then sold the house.

This is the limit of the residential courtyard that the Qin Mansion can accommodate. If it is larger, it will not be within the regulations for merchants to live in.

At the gate of Qin's mansion, there were two guards standing guarding the gate. They were tall and strong. When they saw Jiang Yun and others, their expressions changed slightly.

Qi Da was just about to give the order to arrest Mr. Qin and interrogate him.

Jiang Yun, however, stretched out his hand to stop him and said to the guard, "I am Jiang Yun from Sanqing Temple, Qin Shujian's master, and I want to meet Master Qin."

Upon hearing this, Qi Da, who was standing beside him, suddenly realized that the other party had this kind of relationship with Captain Jiang.
Not long after, the main door of the Qin Mansion opened, and a middle-aged man in simple clothes, who looked to be nearly 50 years old, walked out of the door with full energy.

The way Qin Yuntao was dressed and the exaggerated look of Qin Shujian made them look nothing like father and son.

Qin Yuntao stood next to Qin Shujian, and people who didn't know the situation might still regard him as a slave.

"Captain Jiang, I've long heard of your name." Qin Yuntao walked out the door and saw Jiang Yun, wearing the captain's official uniform, with a smile on his face.

A servant suddenly reported that a group of Jinyiwei had come to the door. He was a little surprised at first, but then he heard that they were his son's master, so he felt relieved and went to greet them.

Qin Yuntao has indeed been quite business-minded over the years, and has made a lot of money from all aspects of business.

With his financial resources and the official atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if Qin Shujian was willing to enter the officialdom, he would surely rise to prominence.

Their Qin family has finally established a firm foothold in the capital, but Qin Shujian has no interest in these things and only wants to have fun.

Now I finally understand. Although I have joined a second-rate Sanqing Temple, the master here is pretty good.

Qin Yuntao had already spent money to find out the details of Jiang Yun's situation.

At such a young age, he is a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and has a bright future.

Jiang Yun also smiled and said, "Master Qin, you are too polite."

Qin Yuntao asked, "My son's apprenticeship gift has not been prepared yet, but I have collected quite a few treasures at home. Captain Jiang, why don't you go in and take a look? If you like anything, you can take it and appreciate it."

Jiang Yun shook his head: "Next time, next time."

"I came here this time because I heard that a man named Fang Jiuyou knows Mr. Qin?" Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Qin Yuntao nodded: "Mr. Fang and I have a lot of business dealings. He is away from home all year round and will come to Beijing soon..."

Seeing that the other party's expression was a little strange, Qin Yuntao frowned slightly and asked, "Captain Jiang, this Mr. Fang..."

"Where are the others?" Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice.

"What did he do wrong?" Qin Yuntao said this and motioned Jiang Yun to let him step aside to talk.

Jiang Yun followed him to the side, and Qin Yuntao said in a deep voice: "Captain Jiang, you don't know that Mr. Fang Jiuyou is very capable, and he has gathered a group of strange people under him. He is not easy to deal with..."

"and……"

Qin Yuntao paused, lowered his voice and said, "This Mr. Fang has a close relationship with a senior official in the court, so it is not easy to offend him."

"I only have business dealings with him. He has a weird personality..."

"Master Qin, do you know where he lives? I would like to go and see him." Jiang Yun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Yuntao nodded and whispered, "He has booked the third floor of Feicui Residence, so he should be living there."

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. I have an important case to deal with. I will pay a formal visit to Mr. Qin next time."

Jiang Yun waved his hand and led Qi Da and others, and quickly headed towards the direction of the Jade Residence.

Feicuiju is one of the top-ranked inns in the capital. It is expensive and not affordable for ordinary people. The entire roof of the inn is covered with emerald green glazed tiles, hence the name Feicuiju.

After the group arrived at Feicui Residence, they went straight to the third floor.

The shopkeeper wanted to stop them, but after thinking for a moment, he swept the dust on the table with the feather duster, pretending not to see these murderous gods.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, they saw a beautiful woman wearing a green gown and a sword at her waist. She was guarding there and reached out to stop Jiang Yun and others.

Seeing this, Qi Da was slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

"My master is resting inside. No outsiders are allowed to enter." The woman's voice was cold, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"Idle people?" Jiang Yun pointed at the clothes on his body with a smile: "Do you know what this is on me?"

Woman: “Clothes.”

Jiang Yun: "Take a closer look."

Woman: "Fancy clothes."

"This is called Feiyufu! We are the Jinyiwei." Jiang Yun said in a deep voice with a dark face, "When the Jinyiwei investigates a case, is there any place they cannot go?"

The woman suddenly drew her sword and put it on Jiang Yun's neck, emitting a demonic aura: "No one can go up until the master gives the nod!"

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, this woman is a monster!

Search, search, search.

Seeing the woman draw her sword, Qi Da quickly ordered, "Draw your sword!"

All the Jinyiwei drew their swords at their waists instantly.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.

Jiang Yun didn't dare to move. He was really afraid that the woman would suddenly kill him with a sword. The strength of this female demon was quite impressive.

If he attacked suddenly, with the sword against his neck, he might not be able to dodge it in such a hurry.

At this moment, a voice rang out from the third floor: "Zhu'er, don't be rude."

"This is the Imperial Guard. They can go anywhere in the capital."

Soon, a man in his thirties wearing a white shirt and holding a folding fan walked out slowly. He had white hair and a handsome face. He came to the entrance of the stairs with his hands behind his back.

The woman named Zhu'er then put away the sword in her hand.

Jiang Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Qi Da beside him: "General Qi, from now on, if someone puts a sword to my neck, the first thing I should do is not to provoke the other party, instead of drawing my sword and confronting him. Doing so will easily irritate the other party, understand..."

After reminding Qi Da, Jiang Yun looked at him and said, "Are you Fang Jiuyou?"

Jiang Yun took a step back and said, "Take it down."

Fang Jiuyou's face was calm, and he asked back: "Capture me? Why?"

"Teahouse, a total of thirty-seven lives were killed by you, right?" Jiang Yun asked coldly.

"So it's because of this." Fang Jiuyou smiled faintly and said slowly: "Although these people deserve to die, I didn't kill them."

"I killed him." The girl named Zhu'er next to him raised her head slightly, stared at Jiang Yun and said, "The master was kind enough to come on stage to tell them stories, but they dared to laugh at the master. They all deserve to die."

"Scorn?" Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

Zhu Er said: "The stories you tell always say that monsters slaughter humans and that monsters are extremely evil. Is that really the case?"

"You humans kill countless chickens, ducks, fish, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep every day, yet you think it's reasonable."

"And we demons only killed a few people, but in the eyes of you humans, it is an unforgivable crime."

"Why?"

"My master just said on the stage that demons also have feelings and loyalty, but he was ridiculed and made a scene by those mediocre people in the audience, and some even wanted to drive my master off the stage."

"I can't stand it anymore, so I kill them all. Is that a problem?"

Jiang Yun said calmly: "Little girl, this is the capital. I am not interested in discussing who is right and who is wrong with you. In the capital, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life."

Fang Jiuyou heard this, put his hands behind his back, and said to Zhu'er calmly: "I am a person who pays the most attention to rules. Since the rule in the capital is to kill someone and pay with your life, then Zhu'er, give him your life."

After Fang Jiuyou finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and a huge demonic energy burst out from his body.

With a wave of his hand, the evil spirit turned into a sharp blade and instantly pierced into Zhu'er's chest.

Green blood flowed out from Zhu'er's chest.

With a thud, she fell to the ground, her whole body twitching slightly, the demonic energy in her body dissipated, and she gradually stopped breathing.

It also revealed its true form, a scarlet spider about one meter long.

Jiang Yun's pupils shrank slightly. This man was really cruel. He actually killed his own subordinates.

This was beyond Jiang Yun's expectation. Qi Da, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but whisper, "Master, this monster really keeps his word..."

Fang Jiuyou was squatting next to the Red Spider at this time, and said lightly: "Captain Jiang, right?"

"Zhu'er killed those people. According to the rules of your Great Zhou, she deserves to die. Now her life is given to you."

"This matter is over now, right?"

Jiang Yun frowned. Now that the real murderer had been brought to justice, the case could indeed be closed.

Fang Jiuyou stared at Jiang Yun and said slowly: "Now it's time to follow my rules. Zhu'er has followed me for many years and we have a deep friendship. But now she died because of you, so you have to pay with your life."

"I am a person who abides by the rules. Captain Jiang, it's time for you to commit suicide."

Jiang Yun's face was full of question marks. Damn it, wasn't it you who suddenly killed her with a knife?
Why do you want me to pay with my life now?

"If you can't bring yourself to commit suicide, I can help you." Fang Jiuyou suggested seriously.
