Catching Monsters

Chapter 167 Buying the murderer
"Take your people to choose a location near Baiyun Temple."

Qi Da asked curiously: "Choosing a site? What do you choose it for?"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is to open a Taoist temple."

Qi Da's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yun in surprise. As an old Jinyiwei in the capital, he had certainly heard that the current emperor disliked Taoist temples.

Jiang Yun could actually open a new Taoist temple?
With a look of worry on his face, he reminded Jiang Yun, "General Jiang, if we do this, will it anger Master Bai Chen..."

Angry?
Didn't you get angry a long time ago?

I just made her angrier.

"Go do it." Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. He was actually looking forward to Master Bai Chen getting angry and coming directly to the East Pacification Office or causing trouble at the Zhenguo Mansion.

I can arrest him with good reason.

After Qi Da left, Jiang Yun thought about it and went to Yang Liunian's study and knocked on the door.

Soon Yang Liunian's voice came from inside: "Come in."

When he opened the door and saw Jiang Yun, a big smile immediately appeared on Yang Liunian's face.

No one doesn't like capable subordinates.

After Jiang Yun joined Yang Liunian, he successively solved the Buddhist temple haunted case and the arms smuggling case. Now he is leading the team to find the source of the epidemic.

When he went to report to Commander Li early this morning, Li Wangxin praised Jiang Yun repeatedly.

"Hey, Jiang Yun is here, come sit down." Yang Liunian said with a smile, "After the evil spirit was eliminated yesterday, I heard that most of the people who were infected with the disease have improved this morning and will recover soon."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yun: "Commander Li also praised you."

Jiang Yun chatted with Yang Liunian in the study room.

During the conversation, Yang Liunian also felt a little strange. Jiang Yun, this kid, would not easily come to disturb him if he had nothing to do on a normal day.

Even if they come, they just talk about serious matters and leave after that.

How come I have the leisure to chat with myself slowly today?

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. He looked at Jiang Yun curiously: "My Jiang Zongqi, you are not going to cause me any trouble again, are you?"

"Master Qianhu, what you said is true." Jiang Yun smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I just sent someone to Baiyun Temple."

Hearing this, Yang Liunian was not surprised. As Jiang Yun's direct superior, how could he not be aware of the conflict between Master Bai Chen and Jiang Yun.

Yang Liunian looked Jiang Yun up and down, then slowly asked, "Sent people to Baiyun Temple? What for?"

Jiang Yun said with a smile: "Choose a site."

"Site selection?"

Soon, Yang Liunian understood what Jiang Yun meant. This kid was worried about completely angering Master Bai Chen.

The other party rushed over and killed him regardless of everything, and hid in his study.

This is indeed the case with Jiang Yun...

He could see that Master Bai Chen had a bad temper...

You can play with fire, but you can't really get yourself into it.

Yang Liunian glanced at Jiang Yun and said in a deep voice, "Okay, stay here."

After saying that, he picked up the file on the table and started reading it.

……

In the quiet room, Master Bai Chen was sitting cross-legged in meditation, concentrating his mind and calming his breath.

dong dong dong.

Soon there was a crisp knock on the door outside the house, and Master Bai Chen opened his eyes.

The one who came in was Gui Yuanzi.

"Master, this is bad." Gui Yuanzi ran over quickly and whispered, "Outside Baiyun Temple, the Jinyiwei group is here again."

Upon hearing this, Master Bai Chen frowned: "Again? What do they want to do?"

Gui Yuanzi looked helpless and sighed, "They claimed that they were here to select a site, saying that they wanted to help General Jiang choose a good location to build a Taoist temple."

"Does Jiang Yun really want to open the Sanqing Taoist Temple?" asked Master Baichen in a cold voice, "And he even wants to open it near our Baiyun Temple?"

Gui Yuanzi swallowed his saliva and said, "One of our disciples went up to ask, and the leader of the Jinyiwei, Qi Da, even asked if we wanted to sell Baiyun Temple. He wanted to renovate it and use it as a Taoist temple for General Jiang, which would be perfect..."

boom!
Master Bai Chen slammed the wooden table hard with his palm. In an instant, the table made of very precious wood in the quiet room turned into powder.

Master Bai Chen shook her hands lightly, murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she took a deep breath.

"Jiang Yun is deliberately provoking me."

No matter what, Jiang Yun's identity is Jinyiwei, and his official position is not low, he is the general flag.

If Master Bai Chen attacked him openly, the consequences would be serious.

"I'm going out."

After Master Baichen finished speaking, he returned to his room, changed into black clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and left Baiyun Temple through the back door.

Then he rushed towards the outer city.

This is an inn located in a remote area. It is quite deserted and there are few customers in the store.

After entering the inn, Master Bai Chen, wearing a bamboo hat, set his eyes on the shopkeeper at the counter.

The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a blue gown. He walked up to us with a smile on his face and asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you staying at the hotel?"

"How much will you pay if you kill someone for me?" asked Master Bai Chen in a low voice.

The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched when he heard this: "Oh, you are joking, my dear guest. How can our serious business be related to murder..."

"Since I can find you, I know your details." Master Baichen said coldly, "Stop pretending." The shopkeeper's face darkened, staring at the other party, and slowly said, "It is a bit against the rules for you to do this. We in Chunxiang Garden have always only done business with familiar customers, or referrals from familiar customers."

Even so, the shopkeeper could see that the other party's identity was somewhat unusual. After thinking for a moment, he still made a gesture of invitation: "Please follow me."

Chunxiang Garden employs a large number of killers and is a top-notch assassination organization in the underworld.

As long as Chunxiangyuan takes the order, they can basically kill the target successfully without exception.

The only drawback is that it's expensive.

Extremely expensive.

The shopkeeper invited Master Baichen to a small room at the back of the inn, then slowly sat down and looked at her: "Excuse me, young lady, who do you want to kill?"

"General Flag of the Eastern Pacification Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Yun."

"What?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly and couldn't help shaking his head: "Miss, you don't know, we have a rule in Chunxiang Garden. We don't accept orders from Jinyiwei."

How could Chunxiang Garden be opened in the capital and even in various places in the Great Zhou without any connections?

Every year, they had to send countless silver to the home of Li Wangxin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

How can you kill the Jinyiwei people?
Master Bai Chen took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and placed it on the table: "Is that enough?"

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Miss, this has nothing to do with money. This is the general flag of the Jinyiwei..."

Soon, Master Baichen took out two more silver bills.

A full three thousand taels!
"Three thousand taels of silver is enough to buy the life of a Jinyiwei general flag, right?"

The shopkeeper swallowed and stood up quickly: "I have to ask for instructions, wait a moment, young lady."

Master Bai Chen closed his eyes and waited quietly.

If it wasn't for the sake of avoiding trouble, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with such a killer organization.

But right now, this is the best and most convenient way.

After a while, the fat shopkeeper pushed the door open again and walked in: "Miss, I asked the boss, and the boss asked, what is the cultivation level of this Jinyiwei?"

"The sixth level of the Taoist inner elixir realm."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded slightly and sat down: "After all, he is the general flag of the Jinyiwei, five thousand taels, a fixed price."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Master Baichen gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Only Baiyun Temple can afford this money.

If it were Tianqing Temple or Qingfeng Temple, I would never dare to think about it.

Master Baichen put the money on the table and asked, "When can we take his life?"

"At least three days, at most five days." The shopkeeper said calmly, "Don't worry, young lady. We at Chunxiang Garden are very efficient."

"Our boss said that he would hire a top expert for the girl."

"That's good."

After the discussion, Master Bai Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "Then I will wait for your good news."

……

strangeness.

too weird.

At night, Jiang Yun lay on his bed, feeling puzzled.

Has Master Bai Chen really changed his character?

I have been angering the other party again and again like this.

She didn't even come to cause trouble for herself.

Or is she secretly planning something?
Just when Jiang Yun was puzzled, suddenly, the copper pillar token he was carrying began to vibrate slightly.

He took it out and frowned. What was going on?
Is someone calling you?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun injected his magic power, and soon he came to the dark scene again.

In the center there was still a bonfire burning.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and looked at the other seventeen stone statues.

At this moment, there is a stone statue staring at him. Is it calling him?
"I'm Chongju." Chongju introduced himself to Jiang Yun: "I heard that you are from Beijing? I have a very good business deal here, and I want to see if you are interested."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, stared at the other person, but did not speak.

Chongju's heart skipped a beat. She had heard that this new bronze pillar was most likely a third-rank expert, so she wanted to make friends with him and win him over. That's why she introduced such a good deal to him.

But now it seems that the other party seems a little unhappy?

Are you even a little dissatisfied with your own calling?

Chongju said with a stiff face: "Senior, this is the case. I have some small business in my hands. I recently received an order with a very generous reward of 5,000 taels of silver. I will not take a penny and will give it all to you, senior."

So much silver?
It’s not that Jiang Yun doesn’t like to talk, but he is afraid of saying too much and making mistakes.

After hearing this, he slowly asked, "Tell me about it."

Chongju: "There is a general flag in the Jinyiwei East Pacification Division named Jiang Yun, whose strength is at the sixth level of the Taoist inner alchemy realm. If you kill him, the five thousand taels of silver will be yours."

Someone hired someone to kill him?

Five thousand taels of silver?
Jiang Yun understood instantly that this was probably done by Master Bai Chen.

After Chongju finished speaking, he looked at the other party's quiet bronze pillar and stone statue, and felt a little hesitant. If he asked such a senior to be his killer, would the other party get angry?
Or just scold yourself?
But soon, the bronze pillar and stone statue opposite spoke.

"I have to collect the money first."
