Catching Monsters

Chapter 129: Really Kidnapped (Updated)
This was a sudden sneak attack.

The leader of the men in black was caught off guard. He turned around, raised the sword in his hand, and chopped it down!

The powerful sword energy split the raging flames in half from the middle, burning away from both sides of his body.

"You are Jiang Yun!" When the leader of the men in black saw the Taoist magic performed by Jiang Yun, he narrowed his eyes, swung his sword and rushed over to kill him.

In this operation, in addition to stealing money and supplies, the superiors also instructed that if there is a chance, it would be best to get rid of Jiang Yun completely.

This man was extremely powerful, and Xu Xiaogang hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, hurry up!"

But the leader of the men in black, who was originally aggressive and wanted to kill Jiang Yun, stopped his attack when he heard the word "brother-in-law"...

The Jinyiwei and this group of military masters were fighting fiercely at this moment and it was hard to separate them.

But suddenly, a strong wind blew and everyone present almost lost their balance.

Wei Huaian stuck the long sword in his hand into the ground, and then gradually stabilized his body: "Where does the evil wind come from?"

These people are quite strong, but they were almost blown down by a gust of wind. Isn't this a joke? There must be something strange about this.

Above the forest on both sides of the crowd, a man wearing a red robe, with an unclear figure and a hideous ghost mask, was standing on the top of a tree.

I could only barely see her cold eyes through her hideous face.

"Who is it!" Wei Huaian shouted loudly.

"I'll take the things!" The man had a hoarse voice, and looked neither male nor female, and it was difficult to tell whether he was yin or yang.

Before leaving, she looked at the leader of the men in black and said, "Well done. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and flew up.

Bang bang bang.

All the ropes tied to the military pay broke with a loud bang.

The strong wind blew up again, and all the boxes containing military pay were blown into the sky.

The man in the red robe leaped lightly and nimbly onto one of the boxes.

The strong wind actually took away all the boxes!
Wei Huaian's eyes widened and he yelled, "Chase!"

This is a military pay of one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Losing it is a capital crime!

The leader of the men in black felt puzzled. Why were their superiors so worried that they arranged for such a master to come and help?
Although he was confused, he still ordered his men: "Stop them!"

The two sides fought fiercely again.

After dragging on for a while, the leader of the men in black ordered: "Retreat!"

Wei Huaian led many of his Jinyiwei and wanted to catch up, but this group of people were disciplined, acted quickly, and had already figured out the surrounding environment.

There's no way to catch up.

The night wind is freezing cold...

At least Wei Huaian's heart had completely chilled when he saw the overturned carriage and the frightened horses.

A huge sum of one hundred thousand taels of silver was lost in his own hands!

The only good news was probably that many of his men were not seriously injured.

However, the two people who were poisoned at the beginning have already died.

All the Jinyiwei, including Xu Xiaogang and Jiang Yun, came to Wei Huaian.

"General Wei, what should we do?"

"If we lose this military pay and go back, I'm afraid it will be a capital crime..."

Everyone present looked a little panicked.

Wei Huaian took a deep breath and said with some forced calmness: "I am the one in charge of this operation. Even if they want to chop off heads, I will be the first one to be chopped off."

"You're afraid of shit."

"What's more, this group of people are military means, let's go back and report truthfully!"

"A full 100,000 taels of silver, it can't be hidden!"

"As long as you want to search, it is impossible not to find it."

"It's still uncertain whose head will be chopped off."

Wei Huaian was also panicking, but he knew that now was not the time to panic.

We must immediately return to the East Pacification Office and report every detail of the situation.

If the money can be recovered, there will be some remedy.

If I can't catch up...

Others don’t know, but you’re going to lose your head anyway.

Jiang Yunze looked at the side and saw Xu Xiaogang, who seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes moving around.

"What do you think?" Jiang Yun asked in a low voice.

Xu Xiaogang shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't know anything."

Xu Xiaogang didn't lie. For example, when he said this, he glanced to the side and didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Yun's eyes.

Jiang Yun even felt that Xu Xiaogang might have guessed the identity of the man in black.

But Xu Xiaogang's personality made him not speak directly, which showed that the identity of the leader of the men in black was not ordinary.

Jiang Yun didn't ask any further questions.

And he wasn't in a hurry, because the person who took away 100,000 taels of silver...

Jiang Yun felt that it was most likely Linglong...

Soon, everyone untied the reins of the carriage, pacified all the horses, and then the two of them rode on one horse and rushed back to the capital as quickly as possible.

When everyone rushed back to the capital, it was almost past midnight.

In the East Pacification Office, Captain Yang had gone back to bed a long time ago, but upon hearing the news, he woke up immediately and rushed back without even having time to put on his clothes.

At this time, Jiang Yun, Wei Huaian, Xu Xiaogang and others all hung their heads and kept silent.

Yang Liunian hadn't even put on his clothes yet. After listening to the report, he started to curse loudly in the courtyard of the East Pacification Office:
"A bunch of rubbish! Trash!"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver were lost just like that!"

"That's military pay! It's the pay for the troops under the Northern Border Guardian Duke!"

"What use are you for?"

"Even if I chop off all of your heads, it won't satisfy the Duke of Zhenguo!"

At this point, Yang Liunian glanced at Xu Xiaogang in the crowd, took a deep breath, and said, "No one is allowed to leave the East Pacification Division!"

"I'll report it immediately." Wei Huaian quickly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the one who robbed the silver must have been someone in the army!"

"I ask the Lord Qianhu to give me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions. We will definitely find out the whereabouts of the silver."

Yang Liunian took off his shoes and threw them at Wei Huaian: "Shut up."

"No one is allowed to leave. The Southern Pacification Division will probably be here soon."

With such a big case happening, it will definitely not be the responsibility of Wei Huaian and his gang.

Even whether there is any accomplice in this operation needs to be thoroughly investigated.

They were definitely going to the Southern Pacification Office.

Yang Liunian's face darkened as he said in a deep voice, "Everyone wait for me!"

After saying that, he immediately went to find Commander Li Wangxin.

Everyone in the yard seemed to be worried...

About half an hour later, Chen Yi, a captain of the Southern Pacification Division, received the news and rushed here overnight with hundreds of Jinyiwei from the Southern Pacification Division.

After entering the yard, the Jinyiwei of the Southern Pacification Office came forward one after another, holding handcuffs and handcuffed everyone.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I've heard about it, it's just routine." Chen Yi raised his hand and bowed, with a look of sympathy on his face.

Being robbed of 100,000 taels of military pay is simply horrifying.

This group of colleagues are in big trouble.

"I have also sent people to investigate the address you mentioned, and I hope you will follow me back to the Southern Pacification Office first."

"Cooperate with me in the investigation and interrogation."

Chen Yi also spotted Jiang Yun in the crowd.

Soon, the group was taken to the prison of the Southern Pacification Office.

However, they did not convict them and did not torture them. Instead, Chen Yi asked his men to buy some good wine and food overnight to entertain these unfortunate guys.

Looking at the prisoners in the row of cells, Chen Yi stepped forward and said, "Everyone, the order from above has not yet come down, everyone, eat more and chat while you eat."

"First, tell us how the military pay was lost and what the attackers were like. No details can be missed."

"General Wei, let's start with you."

Soon, Chen Yi began to ask about the situation one by one.

Not long after, Chen Yi discovered a strange problem.

When it was Jiang Yun's turn, he also walked up to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was gnawing on a roast chicken at this time. It was the middle of the night and he was indeed hungry.

"Brother Jiang, we meet again." Chen Yi smiled at first, then his face became more serious and he slowly asked, "Brother Jiang, I heard from everyone that you brought a maid with you on this trip?"

"And after the fight, the maid disappeared inexplicably?"

Jiang Yun had already prepared his words when he heard this, and nodded: "The situation was chaotic at the time, and I was worried that something might happen to the maid, so I asked her to run away quickly."

"After the battle, I couldn't find any trace of her, so I had to rush back to the capital."

Chen Yi heard this and thought that normally this woman was a big suspect, because she disappeared and it was hard to say whether she was an insider.

But the person was brought by Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun is also related to Eunuch Feng...

Before the conclusion was reached, he did not say much, but continued to ask questions.

Soon, a detailed incident report was written based on everyone's notes.

Chen Yi looked through it carefully and confirmed that it was correct. Then he said to his subordinates beside him, "Send it to Commander Li immediately and ask him to review it."

"Yes."

The Jinyiwei of the Southern Pacification Office hurried out.

At this time, Li Wangxin, who had just received the news, had already been sitting in his study room, feeling restless.

Losing 100,000 taels of military pay is a huge matter.

Looking at the transcript sent by the Southern Pacification Office.

Li Wangxin was even more frightened.

Because in this transcript, the people who took action were actually pointed out to be the military.

It would be fine if it was fake.

If it's true...

He didn't dare to think about it too much, and quickly took the transcript and rushed to the imperial palace.

I'm afraid many people in Beijing won't be able to sleep tonight.

……

Late at night, there was still one person who hadn't gone to bed.

The Minister of Revenue, Chang Pingyuan, was pacing back and forth in his study, waiting for the people below to report the news.

Soon, the study door was opened, and the housekeeper in the mansion closed the door with a happy look on his face.

"Master, it's done."

Chang Pingyuan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Nothing went wrong, did it?"

"Don't worry, they said that the plan went smoothly and the silver has been taken away by the expert you sent."

"What expert?" Chang Pingyuan was slightly stunned.

The butler was surprised: "It's the master in the red robe with the ferocious ghost face."

He then reported the detailed situation at the scene.

Chang Pingyuan's whole body trembled slightly.

His expression changed completely.

One hundred thousand taels of silver were really robbed!
