Catching Monsters

Chapter 740 What can you do?
"elder brother!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao was worried about what to do next when she saw Jiang Yun appear, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yun glanced at Qiao Haotian with considerable satisfaction, after all, the kick he gave Qin Ruixuan earlier was quite forceful.

Jiang Qiaoqiao hurriedly ran to Jiang Yun's side and whispered, "Brother, why did you arrest all the people from Qinghe Academy? So many people have come. Why don't you release them?"

"I know what I'm doing. You and Qiao Haotian stay in the carriage and don't get down," Jiang Yun said calmly.

"Okay." Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly waved to Qiao Haotian and then ran with him to Jiang Yun's carriage to rest.

Qin Ruixuan's expression, however, was rather unpleasant.

His gathering of a crowd and the students of the academy to cause trouble was naturally at the behest of a powerful figure behind the Sacrificial Heaven Academy.

This will also be very helpful for his future, as he can become a student leader, denounce the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and demand the release of the people from Qinghe Academy.

Whether this matter succeeds or fails, it can serve as a springboard for his future career advancement once he enters officialdom.

Many of the important figures in the imperial court were graduates of the academy; who wouldn't admire him to some extent?

According to the original plan, he was supposed to force Jiang Qiaoqiao to knock on the door and compel Jiang Yun to show up.

Whether or not the people from Qinghe Academy can be released in the end is secondary.

Then they can spread the word that even Jiang Yun's sister couldn't stand what he had done and personally came to Jiang Yun's door to ask him to release the people.

He just didn't expect that Jiang Yun would appear earlier than he anticipated.

Qin Ruixuan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Commander Jiang."

"Take him down." Jiang Yun didn't bother to waste words with him and gave the order to the Imperial Guards behind him who were driving the carriage.

Soon, two Imperial Guards rushed forward and arrested the man.

Qin Ruixuan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly resisted, shouting, "Commander Jiang, Commander Jiang, what law have I broken! What right do you have to arrest me?"

Qin Ruixuan was now filled with fear. Normally, he could talk big and act elegantly in the academy, relying on his father's status, without any problems.

But when facing Jiang Yun, he was nothing more than a mere student of the academy.

To be honest, even if his father came, Jiang Yun might not take it seriously, let alone him.

Qin Ruixuan was quickly pinned to the ground, his face pressed firmly against the earth. He kept shouting, "Commander Jiang, this is tyranny! This is an abuse of power!"

"Under the clear blue sky, I don't believe you can capture us all!"

"Release them! Release them! Release them!"

Seeing this, the hundreds of students dared not step forward, but they shouted loudly for Jiang Yun to release the people.

Jiang Yun didn't care. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Northern Garrison and pushed the door open.

Qi Da and dozens of other Imperial Guards were hiding inside the door.

Jiang Yun frowned, glanced at Qi Da, and said, "What are you all doing hiding in here? Our yamen gate has been blocked by this group of students. As the garrison commander, what are you doing hiding in here?"

Zidane smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he couldn't help but think that most of the students in this academy were of extraordinary status and not so easy to mess with.

Zidane dared not actually order his men to take action.

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Go out and tell them that if anyone doesn't leave within half an incense stick's time and continues to cause trouble outside, don't blame us, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, for being too ruthless."

"Give everyone a stick."

"If you don't leave when the time is up, I'll call you."

Upon hearing this, Zidane was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, these students are from the five great academies, and each of them has a distinguished background. Are they really going to fight?"

"Could it be a fake fight?" Jiang Yun rolled her eyes at Qi Da, then waved to the carriage outside the door, letting Jiang Qiaoqiao and Qiao Haotian enter the Beizhenfusi Yamen as well.

"Brother, what exactly happened?" Jiang Qiaoqiao followed behind Jiang Yun, her eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "They all say that you captured those Confucian teachers from Qinghe Academy."

Hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's question, Jiang Yun nodded: "The people from Qinghe Academy want to harm me. Do you think I should arrest them?"

"Ah." Jiang Qiaoqiao was stunned: "Then we should arrest them. Why are people from our Renyi Academy and the other three academies coming to make trouble?"

"Just bored." Jiang Yun smiled faintly, then said, "Alright, Qiaoqiao, you and Qiao Haotian can find a place to rest at the Northern Garrison. I have things to do."

Soon, Jiang Yun had one of his men lead the two to the reception room of the Northern Garrison Command to rest.

He then led Zidane to the outside of the imperial prison.

Zidane asked in a low voice, "Sir, what should we do next? Torture these guys?"

“With our methods, we can pick on the weak, interrogate him until he can’t take it anymore and confesses to treason. According to the law, everyone in Qinghe Academy will lose their heads.”

At this moment, Zidane's brain worked its magic, but Jiang Yun really didn't dare to do that.

Do they really think Chu Qinghe doesn't exist? Killing this group of people is impossible.

"No need to torture them, just keep them locked up for now," Jiang Yun said calmly. He continued, "Anyway, our Northern Garrison Command doesn't lack these people for food, so let's keep them fed for now."

"Keep them in?" Zidane was stunned. Had the imperial prison been turned into a guesthouse?
Of course, he had no objection to Jiang Yun's orders. Since Lord Jiang had given guidance, he would simply follow orders.

……

Meanwhile, only Peng Chenxing and Chu Qinghe remained inside the Qinghe Academy.

Inside a stylish study, the two were sitting. Peng Chenxing, with a worried expression, said, "Chu Sheng, this is bad. Now that the person has been captured by Jiang Yun, it won't be easy to get him to release them." "Moreover, Jiang Yun is quite mad, and who knows what he might do."

Listening to Peng Chenxing's worries, Chu Qinghe seemed somewhat indifferent. From beginning to end, he hadn't really taken Jiang Yun seriously.

He calmly said, "Isn't this matter simple? Who is His Majesty the Emperor? I will go and see him."

Hearing this, Peng Chenxing felt much relieved. He had been worried that Chu Qinghe was unwilling to get involved in worldly affairs.

If Chu Sheng is willing to see His Majesty the Emperor, this matter will naturally be resolved easily.

Soon, Peng Chenxing personally prepared a carriage and then invited Chu Qinghe to head towards the palace.

Peng Chenxing, as the strongest Confucian and Taoist master in Qinghe Academy, had in fact been living in seclusion for a long time, and had not visited the palace for a long period of time.

Upon arriving at the palace gates, the carriage was stopped by the Imperial Guards.

Peng Chenxing personally drove the carriage and said to the soldiers blocking his way, "Please inform His Majesty the Emperor that Chu Sheng has arrived at the Qinghe Academy."

Upon hearing Peng Chenxing's words, the Imperial Guard's expression changed slightly. Chu Sheng?

The imperial guard frowned: "What 'beast' nonsense! Get out of the vehicle and submit to inspection."

"You." Peng Chenxing was slightly taken aback, frowned, and said, "I am Peng Chenxing from Qinghe Academy. Report this immediately."

Qinghe Confucian Temple?

The Imperial Guard soldier understood now, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This guy, since he's from Qinghe Academy, why doesn't he just say where he's from?"

Soon, the Imperial Guard soldiers rushed to report.

The news quickly reached the Imperial Study.

Jiang Xing frowned slightly and quickly ran into the imperial study, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Peng Chenxing from Qinghe Academy is requesting an audience outside the palace gates, and he claims to be the Sage of Chu who has come to the palace."

"Sage Chu?" Xiao Jingzhi was slightly taken aback and asked, "Could it be that Sage Chu Qinghe?"

Xiao Jingzhi was quite well-read, and naturally knew many things about the Qinghe Academy.

“That’s right.” Jiang Xing frowned, sighed slowly, and said, “Your Majesty, what should we do?”

Xiao Jingzhi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Let's go and invite Sage Fang over first."

Jiang Xing immediately understood, nodded, and quickly left.

Not long after, Fang Tianzong, who was in the back garden of the palace, learned of the news, came to the imperial study, brought a chair, and sat down next to Xiao Jingzhi.

Xiao Jingzhi coughed slightly and said to Fang Tianzong, "Sage Fang, when Sage Chu comes later, he may be talking about the Qinghe Academy. You..."

“I know about this.” Fang Tianzong naturally saw through Xiao Jingzhi’s thoughts at a glance. After nodding, he said, “It is Chu Qinghe who wants to harm Jiang Yun.”

"Heh, this kid, unable to find any trouble with Jiang Yun, has come directly to Your Majesty the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi's face showed curiosity.

Then, Fang Tianzong recounted in a few words what had happened at Qinghe Academy.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi frowned, not expecting things to turn out this way.

Before Xiao Jingzhi could ask any more questions, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Jiang Xing respectfully led Chu Qinghe and Peng Chenxing to the outside of the Imperial Study. After opening the door, he gestured for them to come in: "Sage Chu, Mr. Peng, please come in."

Upon entering the Imperial Study, Chu Qinghe's gaze fell upon Fang Tianzong, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Fang Tianzong, why are you everywhere!"

Fang Tianzong chuckled and retorted, "What's wrong? Do you own the palace? You're allowed to come, but I'm not?"

"you!"

Chu Qinghe's eyes darkened.

Xiao Jingzhi quickly said, "It is my honor that the two sages can grace the palace with their presence at the same time. Please be seated."

With someone smoothing things over, Chu Qinghe slowly sat down and then said to Xiao Jingzhi, "Your Majesty, I have come here for one thing: Jiang Yun has captured the people from Qinghe Academy."

"I don't like wasting time talking to people. Tell Jiang Yun to release the person immediately."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi's heart sank, and he was about to speak.

Chu Qinghe reminded him, "Your Majesty, please think carefully before answering my question. It's our first meeting, and I don't want to hear you refuse me."

Chu Qinghe's words were quite forceful, leaving no room for negotiation.

He stared at Xiao Jingzhi, making Xiao Jingzhi feel an inexplicable pressure.

Soon, Fang Tianzong put his hand on Xiao Jingzhi's shoulder and looked at Chu Qinghe: "Chu Qinghe, why did you come here to scare His Majesty the Emperor? What's wrong? Do you want to fight him over something like this?"

"Fang Tianzong, don't go too far!" Chu Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly: "You've opposed me time and time again, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Fang Tianzong smiled and said, "Whether I'm going too far or not, what can you do about it?"

The two glared at each other, and the scene became tense for a moment.

Inside the room, Jiang Xing smiled awkwardly and said, "Both of you are very important people, there's no need to get angry over such a trivial matter."
