Catching Monsters

Chapter 210 Meeting Feng Yu

Jiang Yun knew in his heart that this trouble was probably not small, otherwise Qin Yuntao would not have sent Qin Shujian out of the capital for many years.

Qin Yuntao moved his lips and sighed, saying, "Early this morning, Minister Cao of the Ministry of Revenue sent a lobbyist to visit us."

"He claimed that he and the two sons of Minister Wu of the Ministry of Justice wanted to learn how to do business and asked me to teach them..."

"And 80% of the Qin Mansion's assets will be handed over to the two young masters to manage."

Qin Yuntao frowned deeply: "I have asked someone to bring gifts to intercede, but it is still useless."

Qin Yuntao had been doing business in the capital for so many years that he was very familiar with the situation in the capital. Although he had a large family and a large business, he was being targeted by two Shangshu at the same time...

He might not be able to keep this family business, but he was unwilling to hand it over to others.

Jiang Yun also frowned, this matter was a bit difficult to deal with.

Qin Yuntao couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Master Jiang, after all, my son has accepted you as his master. We are a master and a disciple. If anything happens to him, I hope that Master Jiang can protect his life."

"What does Master Qin mean?" Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

Qin Yuntao took a deep breath and looked around the living room. "I have worked hard all my life to build this family business. If those two Shangshu go too far, I will burn all my assets to ashes. They will not get anything for free!"

"Master Jiang, please do not interfere in this matter, lest you be implicated."

Qin Yuntao initially learned that some officials in the capital had set their sights on his business.

So he tried his best to win over some officials to help him overcome the difficulties.

But when he found out this morning that the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice had set their eyes on his family property.

He understood that this matter was not something that Jiang Yun, a mere Jinyiwei centurion, could help with.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun also nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Master Qin, Qin Shujian is my disciple. If nothing else, I think it will be no problem to protect his life."

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Qin Yuntao took out a silver note from his arms with some emotion, which was worth a full ten thousand taels of silver.

"My business friends may have heard some rumors and are pressing for repayment." Qin Yuntao's face showed emotion. "Of course, I have been doing business for many years, and it is not surprising to see people kicking someone when they are down."

"If I were them, I would probably do the same."

"I don't have much savings at home right now, so Lord Jiang, please don't think this little money is too little."

Jiang Yun saw this. Although he originally wanted to borrow money, he was embarrassed to accept it because of the other person's situation...

Seeing Jiang Yun showing a refusal, Qin Yuntao said: "If Lord Jiang doesn't accept it, I'm afraid that in the end, it will only benefit those two ministers..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun put the ten thousand taels of silver into his arms, and then said: "How about letting Qin Shujian go back to Sanqing Temple?"

"Shu Jian has already left the capital." Qin Yuntao sighed, "I just don't know if he can get away."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun nodded solemnly and said, "I'll leave first. Take care, Mr. Qin."

After leading Wen Chen out of the Qin Mansion, Jiang Yun couldn't help but shake his head. The Qin family was also a wealthy family in the capital.

But without the protection of a big shot, no matter how much money you have, in the eyes of others, it is just a vault.

Wen Chen, who was following behind Jiang Yun, couldn't help but ask, "Master, you are a captain of the Jinyiwei, can't you protect my brother's family?"

After all, in Wen Chen's eyes, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is a top-notch figure.

If he could become a disciple of a captain of Jinyiwei and join the Jinyiwei in the future, it would be a great honor for his ancestors.

Although we have been living in Sanqing Temple during this period, my father also asked someone to bring a message saying that the door of their house was almost broken down by matchmakers proposing marriage.

In the past, my father was a dung collector, and our family was poor and broke, so no girl would be interested in him.

But if you join the Jinyiwei, your status will instantly change.

Jiang Yun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The most I can do is protect your brother's life. I'm afraid I can't do more than that."

Jiang Yun is very clear about his own weight.

A Book of Shangshu, that is the real powerful top figure in Zhou State.

What's more, there are two of them.

Wen Chen felt a little sorry when he heard this, even though he and Qin Shujian had only known each other for a few days.

The two had very different statuses and families before, but Qin Shujian was not the kind of rich second-generation who bullied others by taking advantage of his power as often described in operas.

On the contrary, be generous to everyone.

Although he would go out for a drink late at night, he would bring packed meals for Wenchen when he came back.

And it wasn't just leftovers, but we asked the chef to make a whole table of food and pack it up to take back.

She would also ask Wenchen to help with the laundry, but after Wenchen finished washing, she would also massage his shoulders and legs.

Wen Chen was sometimes puzzled and asked curiously: "Brother, I helped you wash clothes. If you feel bad, just give me some money. Why do you massage my shoulders and legs?"

Qin Shujian said seriously: "Giving you money is like treating you like a servant. That won't work. We are brothers. You wash my clothes and I massage your shoulders. That's fair."

In short, Wen Chen likes this senior brother very much.

After walking out of Qin's mansion, Jiang Yun frowned slightly and glanced in the direction of the city gate.

The Qin Mansion was unexpectedly targeted by the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice.

Can Qin Shujian leave the capital so safely?
The two of them hadn't had lunch yet, so they took Wen Chen to find a restaurant. After lunch, he said, "Wen Chen, you go back first. I'll go back to the East Zhenfu Division." "Okay." Wen Chen nodded.

Jiang Yun rushed back to the East Pacification Office as soon as possible. The place inside was quite leisurely. Many of his men were gathered in a hall, playing cards and gambling with each other.

This is also the normal state of the Jinyiwei. After all, there are not so many cases to deal with in the capital city on weekdays.

Seeing Jiang Yun coming, Qi Da turned around and asked with a smile: "Master Baihu, would you like to play a few rounds?"

"Let's stop playing for now, General Qi, I need to trouble you." Jiang Yun waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Qi Da threw down the cards and quickly came to Jiang Yun.

"Go to the city gate and ask if there is any movement today."

Qi Da was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was a little confused: "Captain Jiang, what do you want to know?"

"Any movement will do."

Upon hearing this, Qi Da nodded thoughtfully, then quickly turned around and walked out of the East Pacification Office.

Jiang Yun let out a breath, returned to his office, closed his eyes and waited.

Sure enough, not long after, Qi Da rushed back and came to Jiang Yun's office study. After knocking on the door, he pushed it open and walked in: "Captain Jiang, I heard some news."

"Today, all the major military divisions have received orders to strictly check all caravans leaving the city."

"An hour ago, a group of caravan carriages were preparing to leave the city. I heard from the military department that it should be the caravan of Qin Yuntao and the Qin Mansion."

"They were stopped, and then the Ministry of Justice sent someone to arrest one of them for suspected treason and took him back to the Ministry of Justice."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun asked, "Is the person arrested by the Ministry of Justice the son of the Qin family, Qin Shujian?"

Qi Da shook his head: "I'm not sure about that, but I heard from the military commander that the person who was arrested and taken away was indeed a young man."

As expected, Qin Shujian couldn't leave the capital at all.

Seeing this, Qi Da couldn't help but ask: "Master Jiang, is this arrested young man related to you?"

"If the relationship is not close, it is best not to provoke this matter. The Ministry of Justice arrested him on charges of treason..."

"Generally speaking, if the charge of treason is used, then..."

Jiang Yun nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said, "Minister Wu of the Ministry of Justice, is there a file in our Jinyiwei?"

Qi Da nodded: "Yes, but they are all sealed in the Northern Pacification Office. And if you want to read the files of such high-ranking officials, you need the authorization of Commander Li."

Unable to access?

Jiang Yun frowned. It was unrealistic to go directly to the door to ask for the person. Jiang Yun originally wanted to look through the files to find out about Minister Wu's weaknesses.

If this road doesn't work...

I have to go to the palace to see Feng Yu and see if he can help.

Feng Yu is a greedy person and the Qin family is rich.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun quickly went out and headed towards the cleansing room near the palace.

Arriving at the door, it was very quiet inside. Jiang Yun raised his hand and knocked on the door. The eunuch who opened the door looked at Jiang Yun and asked enthusiastically, "Are you here to purify yourself?"

"I'm Jiang Yun, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I'm here to look for Eunuch Feng." Jiang Yun said with a smile.

When he heard that he was not here for purification, the enthusiasm in the young eunuch's eyes disappeared a lot, but he still let Jiang Yun enter the house: "The eunuch is inside, discussing the method of purification, you come in and wait first."

The cleansing room was not very big. It had a bed and iron chains to tie up the hands and feet.

There were many iron tools hanging on the wall, which made Jiang Yun feel cold.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Feng Yu was also in the room at this moment, holding a cup of tea and chatting with four young eunuchs about the techniques of castration.

For example, in ancient times, castration meant removing both testicles, but this surgery has a certain probability of being clean or not.

In the end, they were all removed completely.

The resection surgery is a minor problem, but how to prevent infection and disinfect after the surgery is a big problem.

The vast majority of eunuchs who underwent castration died of inflammation after the operation.

Seeing Jiang Yun coming in, Feng Yu also smiled and nodded to Jiang Yun, then asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

"Eunuch, I have something to ask for your help." Jiang Yun said, and then stopped. Feng Yu understood and said to the eunuch beside him: "You leave first."

"Yes."

Soon, Feng Yu and Jiang Yun were the only ones left in the room.

"Boy, have you dealt with the aftermath of those monsters?" Feng Yu reminded.

Jiang Yun nodded respectfully: "It has been handled, don't worry, eunuch."

"I came here this time because of the Qin Mansion's affairs."

Feng Yu frowned slightly when he heard this. He took a sip of the tea in his hand and said slowly, "I remember reminding you last time not to interfere in the affairs of the Qin Mansion."
