Catching Monsters

Chapter 620 Solution
In the past, Hu Yi would probably have enjoyed good food, drinks, and entertainment in the capital before leaving, but now he has no interest in such things.

Even in the Demon Kingdom, he was constantly thinking about how to get back to Penglai Immortal Island and stay there.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun didn't insist on keeping him any longer. He got up to see Hu Yi off, and after seeing him to the door, he returned to the living room and slowly took out the two meteorites to examine them carefully.

There are a total of seven meteorites, three of which are in the hands of Liu Boqing and his gang.

I currently have two.

There was another one, which was in Ye Xiuyuan's possession, but unfortunately, Ye Xiuyuan's whereabouts are now unknown.

The last meteorite remains, but its whereabouts are unknown.

Bai Wuchang once said that all that was needed was to collect seven meteorites. If he collected the other few and went to Liu Boqing, he would probably be able to change his fate.

However, looking at the crystal-clear meteorite in front of him, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel extremely curious.

This thing is so mysterious, and it's quite difficult to collect all of it. What exactly is its purpose?

Just as I was pondering this, Xu Suwen's voice came from outside the living room: "Husband, you're back?"

"Yes." Jiang Yun looked up and nodded after seeing Xu Suwen, then asked, "During my absence from the capital, has anything been alright at home?"

Xu Suwen smiled and said, "Now that His Majesty Xiao Jingzhi has ascended the throne and he values ​​you so much, what could possibly happen at home?"

"Even Qiaoqiao, who was awarded the title of outstanding student and outstanding student article every year at Renyi Academy, was given to her."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun smiled, but then a hint of worry gradually appeared between his brows. Now that his life was back on track, Jiang Yun was even more determined to find the last meteorite.

During dinner that night, Jiang Qiaoqiao also returned home. The family sat at the table and listened to Jiang Qiaoqiao tell interesting stories from her time at the academy.

They seemed to be having a great time.

However, the butler outside suddenly entered the room and whispered, "Lord Jiang, Lord Qian has arrived and wishes to see you."

"Brother Qian is here. Tell him to come in quickly and have a meal with us." Jiang Yun said with a smile, "Uncle Yun, also bring over some of the good wine that was sent earlier. Brother Qian likes to drink, so let him take some with him when he leaves."

"Yes."

After Qian Buchou entered the living room, he didn't stand on ceremony or act distant, and there were no outsiders in the living room.

After taking their seats, Qian Buchou asked the steward to add a bowl and chopsticks, and then said, "Brother Jiang, have you offended the Xiang family? Recently, several officials in our Ministry of Personnel have received letters. One of them, who often drinks and makes merry with me, told me privately that the Xiang family is planning to have some officials impeach you."

"Impeach me for what?" Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback.

"Impose that you unjustly entered the Xiang family's residence and abducted the Xiang family's eldest daughter."

Qian Buchou frowned and said, "I've also inquired about it. The Xiang family is a powerful and influential clan, not easy to offend. It's said that their patriarch is preparing to come to the capital in person to meet His Majesty and discuss your matter."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun felt relieved and said, "Brother Qian, don't worry, let's drink, let's drink."

Upon learning the news, Qian Buchou immediately visited Jiang Yun, who was grateful.

As for the Xiang family...

In Yanzhou City, which is, after all, the Xiang family's territory, Jiang Yun might still be hesitant and somewhat apprehensive. But if the other party really comes to the capital, then he shouldn't blame Jiang Yun for striking hard.

After dinner, Jiang Yun thought for a moment and decided to head to the Imperial Prison of the Northern Garrison Command.

The prison of the Northern Garrison Command was located in the backyard. It was much larger than that of the Eastern Garrison Command and was not as deserted as it was in the Eastern Garrison Command.

The prison under the Northern Garrison Command was very large and held many prisoners.

Throughout the country, officials of the highest rank, including their close relatives, as well as many important suspects, are detained here.

Most prisons housed convicted officials.

Accompanied by Hua Zhongqian, Jiang Yun entered the prison. In a cold and damp room, Xiang Yeyun sat cross-legged, bound by specially made iron chains, after all, the other party was a fourth-grade expert.

According to the internal regulations of the Eastern Garrison Command, experts at the fifth rank are usually pierced through the collarbone and their cultivation is sealed and they are imprisoned.

However, Xiang Yeyun had just arrived and hadn't had time to seal his cultivation yet.

When Xiang Yeyun looked up and saw Jiang Yun approaching, he frowned deeply, spat, and said, "Jiang Yun, my Xiang family will not let you off easily."

"Alright, Miss Xiang, whether your Xiang family lets me off easily or not is none of your business."

Xiang Yeyun's expression changed slightly. How did he know that she was a woman?
I should have been able to keep up a good facade the whole way, but oh no.

Her face was slightly pale. She had heard rumors about the Embroidered Uniform Guard before, such as that if a woman entered the imperial prison, she would basically not have a good ending after she came out.

Popular rumors have long since demonized the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"You don't actually think you're a good woman disguised as a man, do you?" Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Anyone with a little discernment could tell. It's just that in Yanzhou City, everyone flatters you and pretends not to notice."

After saying that, Jiang Yun gestured for Hua Zhongqian to open the cell, and he walked in: "I need Miss Xiang's help with something. I wonder if Miss Xiang would be willing?"

Xiang Yeyun was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Jiang Yun, as if to say, "You want me to help you? You wish!"

“Miss Xiang, please think it over carefully. Your father should be coming to the capital soon. You don’t want your father to die in the capital, do you?” Jiang Yun said calmly.

Xiang Yeyun's face darkened, and he stared intently at Jiang Yun: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yun calmly said, "I know your Xiang family has been operating in Yanzhou for many years, but this is the capital. If your father comes to the capital, I have many ways to deal with him."

"If all that is needed is for the young lady to be willing to help me, then we can all be happy."

Xiang Yeyun's expression hardened: "What do you want me to help you with?"

“Simple.” Jiang Yun laughed: “When you join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I’ll give Miss Xiang the position of Commander Hua Zhongqian.”

Xiang Yeyun was stunned: "Huh?"

Hua Zhongqian was also stunned: "Huh?"

Hua Zhongqian's lips moved slightly, but he didn't dare to interrupt Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun calmly said, "The matter between our Embroidered Uniform Guard and your Xiang family must come to a conclusion. In the end, it will simply be a matter of you killing me and me killing you."

"I don't like killing people."

"After much thought, I believe the best solution is for you to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Then we'll all be on the same side."

"how?"

"You're dreaming." Xiang Yeyun raised his hand, wanting to slap Jiang Yun, but his wrist was tightly wrapped by the arm and he couldn't move.

“Miss Xiang, this is the best solution I can come up with. Your father will be coming to the capital soon. You can join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and persuade him to give up opposing me.”

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether your father will be in trouble."

Xiang Yeyun snorted coldly and said, "My father is a first-rate expert. Do you think you can deal with him, you lowly scoundrel?"

"It is a bit troublesome." Jiang Yun nodded in agreement: "But there are always more solutions than problems."

"Please consider this carefully, young lady." With that, Jiang Yun turned and left, hands behind his back. Hua Zhongqian hurriedly followed, awkwardly saying to Jiang Yun, "Lord Jiang, if you ask me..."

Jiang Yun glanced back at Hua Zhongqian and said, "Don't worry, if she takes your place, I'll promote you."
