Catching Monsters

Chapter 179: Get on the bus first and pay later
Anger flashed in Master Bai Chen's eyes: "How dare you! Baiyun Temple has hundreds of years of heritage, and you dare to threaten to burn it down?"

"Jiang Yun, I think you've had enough of living!"

Jiang Yun put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "I'm determined to set this fire. As for the two of us, it's still uncertain who will live long enough."

Zhenren Bai Chen's face instantly darkened, and the anger in her eyes gradually turned into murderous intent. After all, she was a Taoist immortal of the fourth rank, and if she really wanted to kill, most of the Jinyiwei in the yard were only seventh and eighth rank martial artists, and there would probably be heavy casualties.

The hundreds of Jinyiwei present at the scene also sensed the murderous intent emanating from Master Bai Chen.

Xu Suwen immediately put his hand on the sword, ready to deal with Master Bai Chen's attack on them at any time.

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly, and he held a yellow talisman in his hands behind his back: "Master, you must think clearly about the consequences if you take action."

The Jinyiwei came to Baiyun Temple because of the burning of the plaque.

If Master Baichen attacks the Jinyiwei again, not only Master Baichen but also Baiyun Temple will be in great danger.

"Bai Chen girl, that's enough!"

At this moment, a scolding voice came from the eaves above the main hall at the back. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Ling Guzi, the third-grade great Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple.

Ling Guzi jumped lightly and landed next to Master Baichen from the eaves. He frowned deeply and stared at her: "Are you worried that the troubles in our Baiyun Temple are not big enough?"

"Uncle, I..."

"Capture him." Jiang Yun waved his hand and hurriedly ordered his Jinyiwei to step forward and tie up Master Bai Chen.

Master Bai Chen did not dare to continue resisting and was soon tied up.

Jiang Yun was about to give an order to bring all the Baiyun Temple disciples back to the East Pacification Division, when Ling Guzi came forward and made the Ziwu Jue gesture towards Jiang Yun: "Young friend, please stay."

"This matter was Bai Chen's own decision. He has nothing to do with the vast majority of the Taoists at Baiyun Temple."

"I hope you can distinguish right from wrong and release the innocent people."

Jiang Yun slowly turned his head and looked at Ling Guzi, slapping his forehead: "I almost forgot that you, Tianshi, are also from Baiyun Temple. Please come back with us to the East Pacification Division."

Ling Guzi was slightly stunned. Invite him to return to the East Pacification Office?

Are they going to catch him too?
You know, to reach the third rank of Great Heavenly Master is already extraordinary and is the top existence in the entire Great Zhou.

Even the other Jinyiwei had a look of surprise on their faces. Xu Suwen, who was standing beside them, also wanted to give some advice: "Jiang Yun, Senior Ling Guzi is a third-rank great celestial master, with a high status..."

"Of course I know, that's why I said it was an invitation, not an arrest." Jiang Yun looked serious, bowed to Ling Guzi and said, "Your Majesty is very angry about this matter, and the consequences are serious."

"We have to investigate to see if there is someone behind this."

Hearing this, Ling Guzi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head slowly, and said, "Well! In all these years, I have never been to the East Pacification Office."

"But we Taoists of Baiyun Temple have always shared weal and woe." Ling Guzi glanced at the many Taoists tied up on the ground. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Since I am a member of Baiyun Temple, I cannot be treated specially. Please ask General Jiang to put a pair of shackles and ropes on me as well."

With my status and position, things have come to this point. I will just give some face to ordinary juniors and let them go. I will not care about it anymore if I let some of the disciples of Baiyun Temple go.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun looked at the many subordinates around him and said, "Everyone has heard it. This is what Senior Lingguzi asked for. As the younger generation, we must satisfy the request made by the old senior."

"Put on the shackles and ropes."

The Jinyiwei were silent, and no one dared to step forward to tie up the great Taoist priest. Even Xu Xiaogang, who had always been ignorant of the world, was stunned. He hurried forward and whispered, "Brother-in-law, why don't we release a few Taoist priests..."

Jiang Yun shook his head. Seeing that his men didn't dare to take action, he took a pair of shackles and handcuffed Ling Guzi himself.

"Take everyone back and interrogate them properly."

All the Taoists in Baiyun Temple, young and old, were lined up in a row, tied together with a thin rope, and led out one by one.

Xu Suwen quickly came to Jiang Yun and touched his forehead: "Jiang Yun, you don't have a fever. Senior Ling Guzi has a special status. If we really catch him..."

"Also, are you really planning to burn down Baiyun Temple?"

Jiang Yun shook his head. Although he really wanted to do this, he was just talking to scare Master Bai Chen.

Unless he doesn't want to live, although Senior Lingguzi has profound Taoism and a very good character, if Baiyun Temple is burned down.

I'm afraid he will kill himself at all costs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun sighed helplessly and said, "Even if we want to burn it, it's not now."

"Then why did you kidnap Senior Ling Guzi and take him back?" Xu Suwen was a little confused. She knew that Jiang Yun was a smart man and would not do stupid things easily.

Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "How much gold, silver and jewelry are there in such a large Baiyun Temple?"

"If Senior Lingguzi were here, could we search with peace of mind?"

"Xiao Gang, have your brothers search thoroughly to see how much money is hidden in Baiyun Temple, and move it all back to the East Pacification Division."

Soon, dozens of Jinyiwei began a thorough search in Baiyun Temple. It would have been better if they hadn't searched, but this search lasted until late at night.

Jiang Yun was holding a red lantern in his hand, and boxes of gold, silver and treasures were being transported out.

And there are not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also many house deeds, rare cultural relics and antiques.

After all, the entire Baiyun Temple has been passed down for so many years, how could it be lacking in treasures and money?

They sorted out the boxes of things and sent them back to the East Zhenfu Division.

After a busy day, Xu Xiaogang was stunned by the cartloads of gold, silver and treasures. He whispered to Jiang Yun, "Brother-in-law, we've made a fortune this time. These things are probably worth nearly 80,000 to 100,000 taels of silver!"

Of course, these are just the things that are easy to search for. Jiang Yun even made a list in his hand.

"Two boxes of gold, fifteen boxes of silver, three boxes of valuable calligraphy and paintings, two boxes of antiques, and one box of house deeds..."

Looking at the items on the list, Jiang Yun was very sober and said to Xu Xiaogang, "We can't eat all these things. It's not easy for us to keep even one tenth of them."

Xu Xiaogang was stunned and whispered, "According to the rules of our East Pacification Division, when we confiscate a property, whoever finds it will own it."

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes at Xu Xiaogang and said, "Have we received the order to confiscate our property? We are acting on our own."

"The bulk of this money is to be given to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can issue us another order to confiscate our property, so that our actions will be legal."

"Get on the bus first and buy the ticket later."
