Catching Monsters

Chapter 237 What did you know?
Of course, Zhou Yi still gave a seemingly reasonable explanation: "Since the Sixth Prince is involved, we must capture these two barbarians and not let them escape."

"We need to find out whether these two people are related to the case of the murder of the Pingyuan family."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, his men were about to go out to arrange the task of capturing the Hu people, but unexpectedly, outside the imperial prison, two Jinyiwei covered in blood ran in hurriedly.

The two men stumbled and said, "Oh no, sir, there is something wrong with those two barbarians!"

"They suddenly launched a surprise attack on our brothers, and then fled all the way through the inner city."

Zhou Yi's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "Where is the person? Did he lose him?"

"We didn't lose them." The subordinate's expression tensed: "We have dozens of brothers here. These two had nowhere to escape and actually fled into the Sixth Prince's mansion."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

Xiao Jingqi was standing in the living room at this time, looking at the two seriously injured Hu people sitting on the ground with gloomy faces.

He had already learned from the two of them that they were being hunted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and then they actually climbed over the wall into his mansion in full view of everyone.

At the same time, his mansion was surrounded by the Jinyiwei who were chasing him.

His face turned pale, he clenched his fists, and he couldn't help but get angry. He kicked one of them hard in the chest: "You bastards, do you want to kill me?"

Xiao Jingqi gritted his teeth and stared at the two of them, burning with anger.

The two Hu people were both around forty years old, and both carried a barbaric aura that was typical of the Hu people.

The man who was kicked was named Montuge. He was wearing a standard Hu people's woolen robe with a lot of blood stains on his clothes. He covered his chest and said in a somewhat unfamiliar accent: "Sixth Prince, my two brothers have no way to escape..."

"If the two of us fall into the hands of the Royal Guards, can His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince stay out of it?"

"You!" Xiao Jingqi heard this and knew that the Hu man was threatening him, so he clenched his fists.

Montug said in a deep voice: "If you didn't want to kill Pingyuan Bo, the leader wouldn't have sent the two of us here specially..."

"You have to find a way to get us out of this, or you won't have an easy life either."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Jingqi's eyes, but soon it disappeared because with his strength, he could not kill these two people.

The strength of these two men is extremely impressive, not to mention that killing them would probably be of no use.

In an instant, Xiao Jingqi's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

He couldn't understand why these two people were caught.

It was clear that Feng Bei'er had been captured successfully, and was deliberately thrown into a dilapidated temple that Jinyiwei Captain Zhou Yi was about to pass by.

Based on Xiao Jingqi's understanding of the Jinyiwei, he would use torture tonight to force Feng Beier to sign.

How could they lock onto these two Hu people so quickly?
At this moment, outside the living room, a servant suddenly ran out of the living room and said loudly: "Sixth Prince, several Jinyiwei came to the door and said that a thief broke into the mansion and wanted to see you."

"The leader claimed to be Zhou Yi, a captain of the Eastern Pacification Division, and there was another captain named Jiang Yun."

Jiang Yun?

Xiao Jingqi's eyes darkened. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. It was all because of this guy that he was now completely disappointed in his father.

Otherwise, why would we contact the Hu people...

Xiao Jingqi's face darkened: "Tell them that there are no thieves. This prince has gone to bed and will not see anyone!"

……

Outside the gate of Xiao Jingqi's mansion, the Jinyiweis dressed in Feiyu uniforms and carrying embroidered spring swords stood there with serious looks.

Zhou Yi frowned tightly and looked at Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang beside him.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yun, do you really want to search the Sixth Prince's mansion?"

"If you enter the prince's residence without His Majesty's approval and search it, His Majesty will blame you..."

Jiang Yun's face was calm, and he said slowly: "Captain Zhou, who said we were searching? It was obvious that a thief broke into the Sixth Prince's residence. For his safety, we rushed in and caught the thief as soon as possible."

Many things will feel very different if you express them in a different way.

Zhou Yi forced a smile and said, "Captain Jiang, take the people in to get the person. I..."

"My parents died young, and every time I miss them, I get a splitting headache."

"Today is my parents' birthday. I miss them so much. It gives me a headache."

As he said this, Zhou Yi covered his forehead with his hands and stepped back, not wanting to get involved any further.

Anyway, the person was caught, it's my credit.

If any trouble really arises by breaking into the Sixth Prince's residence, it will be Jiang Yun's fault.

It has nothing to do with him, a filial son.

I saw Zhou Yi holding his head and squatting in the corner.

The door of the mansion slowly opened, and an old man who looked like a butler said calmly, "Everyone, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has gone to bed and will not see anyone. As for the thief you mentioned."

"There is nothing unusual in our mansion."

"Everyone, please go back."

Although the butler was polite to these Jinyiwei, there was still a sense of unquestionableness in his words.

As the steward of the prince's mansion, there is no need to give face to these Jinyiwei.

"Butler, what is your name? What's your name?" Jiang Yun had a smile on his face.

The butler glanced at Jiang Yun and bowed casually: "Qin Guanxu."

"Butler Qin, right?" Jiang Yun said, "Dozens of Jinyiwei saw the thieves enter the mansion with their own eyes, and you shamelessly said that there was nothing unusual."

"I suspect you are colluding with the thieves and intending to murder His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

"Someone, take him down."

Jiang Yun didn't bother with all these twists and turns and just strode inside. Seeing this, the other Jinyiwei arrested Qin Guanxu.

Qin Guanxu's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he shouted loudly: "Jiang Yun, are you looking for death? Do you know where this place is? I..."

"Woo woo." Soon, his mouth was blocked.

The Jinyiwei that Zhou Yi transferred over numbered more than 200 people, and the outside of the mansion was under strict guard.

Hundreds of other Jinyiwei followed Jiang Yun into the mansion...

"Search."

Soon, hundreds of Jinyiwei began searching the mansion. Not long after, they found the two Hu people and Xiao Jingqi in the living room...

The entire living room was quickly surrounded by the Jinyiwei who came after hearing the news.

Jiang Yun strode into the living room, looked at the two Hu people and Xiao Jingqi sitting on the floor, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Jiang Yun..." Xiao Jingqi's face darkened slightly when he saw Jiang Yun appear.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingqi fell to the ground and looked at Jiang Yun anxiously: "Captain Jiang, please save me quickly! These two thieves suddenly broke into my house and kidnapped me!"

After saying that, Xiao Jingqi glanced at the two Hu people.

Montug took a deep breath and 'cooperatively' grabbed Xiao Jingqi's neck: "If you take another step forward, your Sixth Prince's life will be in danger!"

This was also a countermeasure that was discussed in an emergency...

But what Montug did not expect was that when Jiang Yun heard this, the expression on his face seemed to be asking if there was such good news?

Jiang Yun hurriedly took a step forward: "Is one step enough?"

"Then I'll take another step forward."

"Do it."

Xiao Jingqi's face darkened. He originally thought that it would be Captain Zhou Yi who would lead the Jinyiwei.

If Zhou Yi came, he would definitely be cautious for the sake of safety.

But the one who came was Jiang Yun...

Jiang Yun was almost performing the Seven Star Steps back and forth, but Montug was still hesitant to take action.

"Come here, take down these two thieves!" Jiang Yun also kindly reminded: "Don't hurt His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

Soon, a large number of Jinyiwei rushed forward, pinned down the two Hu people, and tied them up like dumplings with ropes.

Xiao Jingqi took a deep breath and gave them a suggestive look. As long as they refused to admit that they were involved in Pingyuanbo's case, it would be fine.

Jiang Yun even stepped forward to personally help Xiao Jingqi up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I brought people to rescue you, and you don't even want to say thank you?"

Xiao Jingqi wanted to draw his sword and chop Jiang Yun, but he had to force a smile on his face and said, "Thank you to everyone from the East Pacification Office for coming to rescue us."

"This prince will definitely give thanks later!"

The last two words were spoken almost with gritted teeth.

"Take them back to the imperial prison and intensify the interrogation." Jiang Yun waved his hand.

As they were about to leave, Xiao Jingqi suddenly said, "Jiang Yun."

Jiang Yun paused and looked back at the other party: "Sixth Prince, do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Jingqi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "There is only one person in the world with the surname Xiao, are you really not afraid of me?"

Jiang Yun said calmly: "Sixth Prince, please consider yourself first."

Soon, the two Hu people were taken back to the imperial prison.

Feng Bei'er had been untied and locked in a cell.

The two captured Hu people were tied to two iron pillars.

Zhou Yi's eyes were shining with excitement, and he quickly took his men to intensify the interrogation and tortured the person in various ways.

The two strong-willed Hu people could not help but scream in pain due to the cruel torture.

Feng Bei'er in the prison was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Jiang Yunze was sitting at the gate of the imperial prison, and saw that the two Hu people were resisting torture and were reluctant to speak.

The two men only said that Xiao Jingqi bought a batch of handicrafts in Beihu, and they were ordered to deliver the handicrafts and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Jingqi.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered by the Jinyiwei in advance.

As for the case of Pingyuan Bo, the two of them refused to admit it at all.

"These two are really stubborn." Jiang Yun muttered in a low voice: "Strange, assassinating the Sixth Prince is also a capital crime."

"These two people are obviously not afraid of death."

"But he is unwilling to involve Pingyuan Bo's case."

"Are you afraid of implicating Xiao Jingqi?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but shook his head. No, if these two people were really worried about implicating Xiao Jingqi, they would not have fled to Xiao Jingqi's mansion.

There must be a deeper reason behind this.

To put the blame on Marquis Weiwu? No, strictly speaking, this method of putting the blame on others is too low-level.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the flaw at a glance, after all, Feng Bei'er was powerless.

This case seemed more like due to some special reason, Pingyuanbo's family had to be killed as soon as possible to silence them.

But Pingyuanbo's family had long been in decline, and had no foundation or support in the imperial court.

A noble who enjoys wealth and glory just by relying on the merits of his ancestors.

What is the reason to kill them?

And the whole family was wiped out.

They also wanted to use Feng Bei'er from the Weiwu Marquisate to frame the person.

After all this seemed to be connected, Jiang Yun kept thinking, could it be that Pingyuan Bo knew something?
