Catching Monsters

Chapter 650 It's Not That Complicated

"You!" Upon hearing this, Master Lingxin's face darkened, his brows furrowed, but he was speechless.

Indeed, in the end, all of this was just speculation by him and Jiang Yun. To be honest, they had no evidence to prove that Shan Tiangang was the one who killed Feng Yu.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her anger.

His purpose in coming here was simply to investigate whether Feng Yu's death was related to the other party.

Based on the current situation, it is highly likely that the murderer who killed Feng Yu is Shan Tiangang.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and slowly said, "Master Lingxin, since there is no evidence, let's not disturb Mr. Ye."

After saying that, he turned and left, while Master Lingxin shook his head helplessly and followed him out.

After the two left Ye Xiuyuan's courtyard, Master Lingxin felt that Jiang Yun's emotions were more stable than before.

"Lord Jiang, what are your plans for the next step?" Master Lingxin asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yun looked back at the courtyard behind him and said in a deep voice, "There's no need for Master Lingxin to take action on this matter; I have my own way of doing it."

……

After returning to the Jiang residence, it was already late at night. As soon as Jiang Yun pushed open the bedroom door, he saw Xu Suwen sitting in a chair in the room with a worried look on her face.

Seeing Jiang Yun return, she asked, "Husband, what happened?"

In the dead of night, Jiang Yun was suddenly summoned by His Majesty the Emperor and did not return for a long time. How could Xu Suwen possibly fall asleep?

"Something has happened to Eunuch Feng."

Jiang Yun sat down next to Xu Suwen and recounted the events in detail. After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Xu Suwen's expression changed drastically: "Eunuch Feng, is dead?"

"And it's related to Mr. Ye?" Xu Suwen hurriedly asked, "Husband, why did Mr. Ye kill Eunuch Feng?"

“I don’t understand it either.” Jiang Yun shook his head, took a deep breath, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes: “But, we can’t just let Eunuch Feng’s death go like this.”

“Of course.” Xu Suwen nodded from the side: “Since you came to the capital, you have received a lot of help from Eunuch Feng. Now that Eunuch Feng has been murdered, how can you not avenge him?”

“But what if it was really Mr. Ye and Shan Tiangang who killed them?”

"How do you plan to take revenge? I've heard that Ye Xiuyuan is now highly regarded by His Majesty."

Jiang Yun was aware of this, and he patted Xu Suwen on the shoulder: "Get some rest early, I know what I'm doing."

The next morning, Jiang Yun woke up early, ate a simple breakfast, and then went out.

The inner city streets were bustling and lively in the early morning. Jiang Yun, alone with his hands behind his back and dressed in casual clothes, slowly walked to a cloth shop.

He strode inside, and as soon as he entered, the shopkeeper at the door noticed Jiang Yun's distinguished attire and greeted him with a beaming smile: "Distinguished guest, all the fine fabrics are inside, please..."

Jiang Yun said calmly, "I want to see Xiang Hui. Inform him immediately that I know the whereabouts of the real culprit who killed the Xiang family."

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback; this cloth shop was one of the Xiang family's properties.

He stared at Jiang Yun, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you?"

"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Yun."

"Please come to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to see me after you arrive in the capital." With that, Jiang Yun strode out.

Given the current situation, it is indeed inconvenient for him to directly confront Ye Xiuyuan.

Moreover, the other side also has a master like Shan Tiangang. If it really comes down to it, Jiang Yun would have a hard time being a match for them.

Fortunately, the Xiang family now hates Shan Tiangang and his ilk so much they're itching to get rid of them.

Just in time to come in handy.

After leaving the cloth shop, Jiang Yun remembered the address Liu Boqing had given him. After thinking for a moment, he headed towards the Yunluo Inn in the outer city.

The street where Yunluo Inn is located is extremely remote, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the street, which explains why the inn was closed before.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Yunluo Inn, Jiang Yun saw a man sitting at the door.

Sun Xiaopeng was sitting at the doorway, lost in thought, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. When he saw Jiang Yun arrive, he frowned, quickly stood up, spat out the grass, put his hands behind his back, and slowly said, "Sir, would you like to stay at the inn?"

"I'm here to see someone," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice. "Is Mr. Liu Boqing here?"

"Looking for Liu Boqing?" Sun Xiaopeng looked Jiang Yun up and down. "Hey, haven't we met before?"

At this moment, Jiang Yun also recognized the other party. This was the person who had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Demon Emperor Ao Lie.

"By the way, your name is Jiang Yun, right?" Sun Xiaopeng warmly pulled Jiang Yun into the inn. The inn was quite deserted, with no customers. On the counter, there was the fat cat named Mao Dacai.

"Cat Bro, wake up! You're asleep again. I told you to wave your hand to bring in some money, but you just slack off and sleep. No wonder our inn hasn't made a single sale since it opened," Sun Xiaopeng complained.

Cat Da Cai opened his eyes, glared at Sun Xiao Peng, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Sun Xiaopeng led Jiang Yun up to the second floor.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, someone is looking for you."

Sun Xiaopeng knocked on the door of a room on the second floor before opening it and gesturing for Jiang Yun to enter.

Liu Boqing was sitting inside, reading a book.

"Lord Jiang has arrived." Liu Boqing smiled and slowly stood up, saying, "I thought Lord Jiang would be a few days late. Please have a seat."

Jiang Yun glanced at Liu Boqing with some suspicion, then slowly sat down: "Did Mr. Liu guess I would come?"

Liu Boqing looked at Sun Xiaopeng, signaling him to leave first.

After Sun Xiaopeng left and closed the door, Liu Boqing slowly said, "It was only a matter of time."

"Lord Jiang, have you come here because of the death of Eunuch Feng Yu?"

Jiang Yun looked at the other person in surprise, her eyes seeming to ask, "How do you know about this?"

Jiang Yun even suspected that Feng Yu's death might have been caused by this group.

"Don't look at me like that. Our group isn't capable of killing Eunuch Feng so easily." Liu Boqing shook his head with a smile and said, "During this time, I've had Mao Dacai secretly keeping an eye on Ye Xiuyuan's residence."

"Last night, Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong suddenly left secretly, and Mao Dacai followed them to see what they were up to."

"But I witnessed Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong joining forces to kill Feng Yu."

“In fact, even if you don’t come to see me, I will have someone tell you about this.”

Hearing Liu Boqing's explanation, Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice, "Eunuch Feng, was it really Shan Tiangang who killed him?"

"Cat Da Cai saw it with his own eyes. Should I let him come up and tell you in person?" Liu Boqing, with a faint smile on his face, asked, "So, Lord Jiang came to see me this time because of Ye Xiuyuan?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yun nodded and said in a deep voice, “Although I have known Mr. Ye for quite some time, I don’t know much about him.”

"Since you guys want to deal with him, it means you know him quite well."

Upon hearing this, Liu Boqing nodded, understanding Jiang Yun's purpose. He said in a deep voice, "This Ye Xiuyuan, to be honest, isn't exactly a human being."

"He was just using that body to get around."

"Then is he a demon?" Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

"No." Liu Boqing shook his head, unsure how to explain it to Jiang Yun. The main concern was that even if he told Jiang Yun, she probably wouldn't believe him.

He thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Strictly speaking, Ye Xiuyuan is another version of me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun looked at Liu Boqing and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Liu Boqing opened his mouth slightly, but in the end gave up explaining the question and instead said, "In short, I know Ye Xiuyuan's abilities very well, and he is extremely dangerous."

"This person has no human kindness whatsoever."

Jiang Yun asked, "In that case, does Mr. Liu intend to get rid of him?"

Liu Boqing shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's not time to deal with him yet, so we can't make a move."

"If he finds out that we have come to the capital, he will run away immediately, and it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven to find his whereabouts again."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

“However, I can vaguely figure out why he killed Feng Yu,” Liu Boqing said calmly. “He must have known that some of the meteorites were in my possession.”

"They'll fight me sooner or later."

"Therefore, he urgently needs to control a considerable force, and the Tongyou Guard perfectly fits this requirement."

"His killing of Feng Yu was clearly an attempt to seize control of the Tongyou Guard."

Jiang Yun frowned and said, "He has no magical cultivation at all, how could he possibly be in charge of the Tongyou Guard?"

"It's not that complicated. All it takes is your Emperor's approval," Liu Boqing said calmly.
