Catching Monsters

Chapter 752 Jiang Yun's Whereabouts

However, Wu Tongzhan did not expect that after getting to know her, Guo Qingyi not only had no interest in him, but also became more and more distant from him.

Wu Tongzhan's personality was quite extreme, and his early attainment of the seventh-grade Tendon Refining Realm made him extremely arrogant.

Guo Qingyi doesn't like people like that.

Wu Tongzhan took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Chief镖头, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to that Zeng Yunfan, would you?"

"Just because he's younger than me? Or a little stronger than me?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Chengnian's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! When have I ever had such a thought?"

"Fine, fine!" Wu Tongzhan gritted his teeth and strode out of the hall.

Seeing this, Guo Chengnian couldn't help but shake his head. With Wu Tongzhan's personality, it was no wonder that his daughter didn't like him.

After Wu Tongzhan walked out of the hall, he was furious. Many bodyguards couldn't help but take a few more glances at him as they passed by.

The news that Wu Tongzhan was knocked unconscious by that ticket smuggler has already spread throughout the entire escort agency.

Wu Tongzhan's personality had always made many people in the escort agency quite dissatisfied.

Seeing him suffer a setback now is naturally a source of joy.

Wu Tongzhan couldn't help but clench his fists. Feeling frustrated, he was about to go out to a brothel in the county town to have a good drink and relieve his boredom.

Just as they were about to leave, they saw a bodyguard packing his bags outside the door, looking like he was about to embark on a long journey.

"Huang Teng, where are we going?" Wu Tongzhan asked.

Upon hearing this, Huang Teng turned his head, forced a smile, and said, "Brother Wu, I'm going out to deliver a message."

"Deliver a letter?" Wu Tongzhan frowned. "Where is the letter going?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Teng shrank back and said awkwardly, "This has to be kept secret, I can't tell you."

Wu Tongzhan had only asked casually, but upon hearing Huang Teng's words, a hint of anger immediately appeared on his face.

He was already in a bad mood, and now even someone like Huang Teng doesn't respect him?
"It would have been better if you hadn't said that. Now that you've said it, I really want to know who the message is for and where it's being sent. Even I don't know that." Wu Tongzhan said with a cold face.

Seeing Wu Tongzhan's expression, Huang Teng's heart skipped a beat.

Huang Teng inwardly groaned. Everyone in the escort agency knew Wu Tongzhan's petty and narrow-minded nature. Normally, if anyone in the agency offended him, they would be punished for everything.

He gave an awkward laugh and said, "Brother Wu, this is a task personally assigned by the head escort agency, I really can't tell you."

Wu Tongzhan's face remained cold.

Huang Teng's heart skipped a beat, and he could only whisper, "It's to send a letter to the capital, to deliver a letter for Zeng Yunfan."

"Deliver a message for Zeng Yunfan?" Upon hearing this, Wu Tongzhan's eyes lit up slightly, and he became even more interested.

"Where in the capital should we send him?" Wu Tongzhan asked, also curious about who Zeng Yunfan really was.

“Sanqing Temple,” Huang Teng said softly.

"Sanqing Temple!" Wu Tongzhan's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Huang Teng with some surprise.

Seeing this, Huang Teng said, "Brother Wu, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Huang Teng didn't dare to delay. He quickly mounted his horse and rode away at full speed. Wu Tongzhan, who was left behind, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction Huang Teng had left.

"Send a letter to the Sanqing Temple?" Wu Tongzhan had seen and heard a lot. He frowned slightly as he walked down the main street of Qin'an County. Soon, he came to a notice board, where Jiang Yun's wanted poster was posted in the most conspicuous position.

"The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a traitor who betrayed his country? Could he be Jiang Yun?"

Looking at the wanted poster on the bulletin board, which stated that a reward of five thousand taels of silver would be given for any information that was found to be true.

Wu Tongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon tore down the notice and hurried towards the Qin'an County Government Office.

……

Inside the Qin'an County government office, Prefect Shi Qirui was recently seen carefully accompanying several imperial envoys from the capital, who were members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

These five imperial envoys were all sent to investigate the whereabouts of Jiang Yun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Anyway, they were provided with good food and drink, but these five people didn't seem to care much about finding Jiang Yun's whereabouts.

Among the five, the leader was a centurion named Hong Jingchuan from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

That morning, the five of them were happily drinking in the county government office, with Prefect Shi Qirui accompanying them.

“Prefect Shi, to be honest, your prefecture isn’t much in other aspects, but the girls in the brothels are quite good.” Hong Jingchuan said with a smile.

“That’s right. If Imperial Envoy Hong likes it, please come again tonight,” Shi Qirui said with a smile.

“Oh, that won’t do. The five of us are here on official business. If we go to brothels every day, it will have a bad influence if too many people see us.” Hong Jingchuan paused. “Let the girls from the brothels come directly to the government office. Anyway, the government office has all the drinks and supplies.”

Shi Qirui's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "So you guys know you're here on official business? You're here to eat, drink, and have fun every day."

He drinks and dine with women every day without paying a single penny; it's all paid for by Prefect Shi.

Just as the group was drinking, a man knocked on the door and entered the room, saying, "Reporting to the Prefect, a man has come to the government office, claiming to have information on the whereabouts of the wanted criminal, Jiang Yun."

Upon hearing this, a wine glass suddenly slipped from Hong Jingchuan's hand and fell to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qirui's face also showed surprise.

Hong Jingchuan was stunned. He had only come here under the pretense of getting free food and drinks, and had never intended to look for anyone.

Let alone Hong Jingchuan, all the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) inside and all over the country are basically the same.

He had no interest in finding Jiang Yun, but he was very interested in using the pretext of finding Jiang Yun to scam food and drinks from people all over the place.

Unexpectedly, someone came to our door at this time...

Shi Qirui quickly asked, "Who are these people?"

"He claimed to be a bodyguard from the Tiger Head Escort Agency, named Wu Tongzhan."

Shi Qirui smiled and looked at Hong Jingchuan beside him: "Lord Hong, would you like to see him?"

Hong Jingchuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Of course I want to see him."

Soon, Wu Tongzhan was led into the room.

Upon entering the room, Wu Tongzhan felt a slight unease upon seeing the five Imperial Guards in their flying fish robes and the Prefect. He quickly knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "This humble subject, Wu Tongzhan, greets all of you."

Prefect Shi Qirui asked in a deep voice, "You said you have news of Jiang Yun, is that true?"

"I don't know if he is Jiang Yun, but I feel that he looks like him..." Wu Tongzhan was also a little unsure.
