Catching Monsters

Chapter 230 Contact Jade Plate
Wu Qing didn't know when she discovered that she was a little different from ordinary girls. Was it when she was a child and showed extraordinary calculation ability?

Was it many years ago, when my father was overwhelmed by his business and didn’t know what to do?
Or was it when she gave her father a suggestion and easily solved his problem?
In short, from that day on, she began to gradually get in touch with the Wu Mansion's business, and under her leadership, the entire Wu Mansion's business gradually improved.

From that day on, she was no longer like other girls, learning embroidery and needlework every day, but started a business and traveled far and wide.

Negotiate prices with suppliers of Shu brocade’s raw materials, improve production techniques, and travel far and wide to expand sales.

Day after day, year after year, without any rest.

Seeing that the Wu family's business was gradually getting back on track, Wu Qing was also preparing to take a good rest, but unexpectedly, a sudden drought disrupted everything.

Although the Shu brocade business was less affected by the drought, many merchants even made a fortune from it.

But Wu Qing ignored his family's opposition and insisted on buying grain at a high price and delivering porridge to nearby villagers.

They even took in dozens of disaster victims.

Many people asked Wu Qing why he cared about the lives of these disaster victims.

Wu Qing’s answer was always: They shouldn’t starve to death.

Drought has come, and although there will be no grain harvest this year, Wu Qing knows clearly that the amount of grain in the granaries of many wealthy families is astonishingly large.

If they were all released, no one in the entire Tiankang Prefecture or even in Xishu Province would starve to death.

But everyone closed their granaries and sold grain at high prices.

These people should not have starved to death.

……

Wu Qing felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell heavily to the ground. He looked up at the sky, and his breathing became more and more rapid and difficult until he gradually stopped breathing.

Looking at Wu Qing's body on the ground, Master Wu Yue's eyes were cold: "Let's go."

In the backyard of the Wu Mansion, more than fifty disaster victims were waiting for morning porridge, but after waiting for a long time, no servants from the Wu Mansion came.

Many disaster victims held their stomachs and said, "It's almost past noon, why haven't we had dinner yet?"

"Not only is the porridge becoming thinner and thinner, but now he is also so unpunctual."

The victims couldn't help but complain in low voices. At this moment, a servant from the Wu Mansion stumbled over and brought something that surprised everyone.

Miss Wu was murdered.

At the gate of Wu Mansion, Master Wu Yue was walking out with Tie Guang.

"Master, why don't you kill all the people in the Wu Mansion?" Tie Guang held a bloodstained mace in his hand, with confusion in his eyes.

Master Wu Yue looked calm and said, "If the Wu family is connected to Jiang Yun, and we kill Miss Wu, they will definitely go and tell us, and we can find him."

"stop!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind.

Master Wu Yue looked back in confusion, and unexpectedly, a group of ragged victims ran out from the Wu Mansion behind him and surrounded him and Tie Guang.

These disaster victims were holding knives, forks and sticks in their hands, and each of them looked powerless.

"You are the one who killed Miss Wu?"

"Ms. Wu is kind-hearted, why did you kill her!"

The victims all had angry looks in their eyes, even though they were complaining that the porridge was becoming thinner.

Eat less and less.

But they always remembered Miss Wu's kindness. If it weren't for Miss Wu taking them in, they would have starved to death long ago.

Now that I heard that Miss Wu was murdered by thieves, how can I sit still?
Master Wu Yue frowned slightly, glanced at the victims present, and said slowly: "Do you think you can take revenge?"

"Go, avenge Miss Wu!"

Many victims roared and rushed forward one after another, waving sticks, knives and forks in their hands.

Soon, corpses were everywhere. Tie Guang had a cold face and swung the mace in his hand. With a sweep, there were screams and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

A servant at the gate of Wu's residence was stunned. These victims, whom he usually looked down upon, none of them retreated. Instead, they rushed forward roaring and demanding revenge for the young lady.

Soon, all were killed or wounded.

The servant was stunned by this scene, and then he thought of the large number of masters stationed in the village where Miss Wu had asked him to pass on the message.

We have to ask those experts for help to avenge the lady!
Thinking of this, the servant quickly fled to the back door.

……

In the morning, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the bed. The tendons and veins in his body had almost recovered. He just needed to slowly restore his magic power.

Jiang Yun breathed in and out rhythmically, trying to practice the Qingxin Jue.

The familiar flow of mana gradually resumed.

Although there was a slight tingling sensation in the tendons and veins when the magic power flowed, they eventually recovered.

Jiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Master Jiang." Qi Da walked in from outside, frowning slightly, and said, "A servant came from the Wu Mansion, calling himself Wu San." "He wants to see you."

Want to see yourself?

From the Wu Mansion?

Could it be that Miss Wu had something to tell him? Jiang Yun quickly got up and walked out of the room. Under a willow tree in the village, the servant named Wu San was squatting on the ground with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Yun walked forward quickly, but before he got close, Wu San knelt down in front of Jiang Yun: "Master Jiang, please avenge my young lady."

"This morning, two thieves came to our house and killed my young lady and many people in the mansion."

Wu San had tears in his eyes: "Even the disaster victims that the young lady had taken in before were killed by those two thieves in order to avenge the young lady."

After saying this, he kept kowtowed to Jiang Yun, begging Jiang Yun to help him get revenge.

Jiang Yun's face changed drastically, and he hurried forward to stop him from kowtowing. His expression darkened, and he carefully asked for the details.

When they learned that the murderer was a Taoist priest and a strong man holding a mace.

Jiang Yun slowly clenched his fists: "Master Wu Yue, Tie Guang."

Anger gradually appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes. You know, Wu Qing was also kind to him and Linglong.

And at this moment, it was purely because of himself that Wu Qing was visited by Master Wu Yue.

"Master Wu Yue, you are really tired of living." Jiang Yun said with a deep look in his eyes. Then Jiang Yun took a deep breath, took out twenty taels of silver from his waist, and handed it to Wu San: "You should leave here quickly. I am afraid that we will not be safe here soon."

Those two obviously had the ability to kill all the people in the Wu family, so why did they leave any alive?

I'm afraid it's just to find myself.

When Wu San arrived here, perhaps Master Wu Yue was following behind him.

This place is not far from Baekje Villa.

Watching Wu San leave, Jiang Yun also hurriedly stood up and said to Qi Da: "Let everyone gather and be alert quickly, I'm afraid we have been discovered by them."

"Yes." Qi Da nodded heavily.

Jiang Yun also came to Linglong's residence as soon as possible, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

Linglong slowly opened her eyes: "What happened?"

"Miss Wu is dead." Jiang Yun paused and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we have been discovered. According to my guess, the people from Baiji Villa are probably on their way here. Master, your injuries have not yet fully healed. Please leave this place first."

He and his men left in such a large number that their whereabouts were very easy to track.

Linglong slowly looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "What about you? You're not running away?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "If we are caught up on the way, it might be disadvantageous. If we stay here, I can set up a formation to fight back."

After hearing this, Linglong thought for a moment and then took out a crystal clear red jade plate.

"What is this?" Jiang Yun looked at the crystal clear red jade plate with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Contact jade token."

"Who to contact?"

"Don't worry about it." Linglong took a deep breath, and her magic power was temporarily gone. She said, "Use your magic power, inject it into it, and then leave this room."

After Jiang Yun took the jade token, he injected the little magic power in his body into it, and then the red jade token began to shine with a faint light.

Afterwards, Jiang Yun placed the jade pendant next to Linglong and quickly walked out of the room.

After making sure Jiang Yun had left, Linglong looked at the red jade token and slowly said, "I don't care what method you use, get Feng Yu to the village twenty miles east of Baiji Villa before dark, otherwise, I will die here."

"I can only hold out until sunset at best."

After saying this, the red jade plate shattered with a snap.

This jade token can only be used once and is very expensive.

With the old eunuch's level of cultivation, he should be able to make it from the capital to Western Shu Province before sunset.

Jiang Yun returned to the house and saw the broken red jade token.

Linglong said in a deep voice: "As long as you can hold on until sunset, there will be a chance of a turnaround. As for how you can hold on until sunset, it depends on you..."

"My magic power is suppressed by the blood demon, so I can't help..."

At this moment, Jiang Yun felt something strange. His face changed slightly. He quickly opened the door and looked outside.

At this moment, a blood-red light appeared in the originally clear sky.

The blood demon barrier appeared again, covering the entire village.

At the same time, at the entrance of the village, Taoist Master Wu Yue, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, walked in slowly, followed by more than ten of his men.

His subordinate Tie Guang was holding a dead body in his hand. It was Wu San who had just come to deliver the message.

Master Wu Yue sneered, "I am really surprised that you are hiding less than 20 miles away from Baiji Villa."
