I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Chapter 1144 Something Odd

Seeing that Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer were both wondering about this, Zhu Xiucai took the initiative to invite Ying.

"My lord, would you like me to investigate?"

After a little consideration, Qin Shaoyou agreed to Zhu Xiucai's proposal.

"Okay, you go find a way to inquire and see what's going on."

The people in the editorial factory have never had a good relationship with the town monster.

Whether it was Qin Shaoyou or Qin Qiaoer who came forward to inquire about this matter, the people in the editing factory would definitely not talk about it, and they might even suspect their intentions.

It's better to let Zhu Xiucai try it.

Zhu Xiucai is very good at building relationships and gathering information.

However, Qin Shaoyou still warned: "Don't make them suspicious."

Zhu Xiucai replied: "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."

After receiving the task, he didn't meet the team escorting the prison car. Instead, he quickly disguised himself under the cover of the woods and his robes, and then sneaked into the woods, heading towards the capital, and disappeared without a trace.

From the looks of it, he was planning to go on the road ahead, looking for an opportunity to 'get acquainted' with the people from the editing factory.

After Zhu Xiucai left, the team escorting Yang Zhen also quickly passed by Qin Shaoyou and the others.

The people in the editing factory recognized Qin Shaoyou and the others in their red-clothed emissary outfits at a glance, and they all snorted coldly.

However, although they looked bad, they didn't pick things up because they had errands to do.

Qin Shaoyou and others also ignored them.

However, when the prison van passed by, Qin Shaoyou flicked his finger, and a bit of ink flew out and landed on Yang Zhen's prison clothes, mixed with the dirt on the prison clothes, making it impossible to distinguish.

When the prison car was far away, Qin Shaoyou and the others rested for a while before setting off again.

That night, they spent the night in a small town on the outskirts of Beijing.

In the middle of the night, there are really sneaky people haunting the neighborhood.

Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer didn't need to do anything, and the patrolling Yin soldiers would capture and devour these little devils.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Shaoyou and the others continued on their way. Before sunset, they passed the inspection of the city gate guards and entered the capital.

As soon as he passed the city gate, he saw Zhu Xiucai.

Zhu Xiucai has returned to his original appearance, and is waiting for their arrival in a tea shop behind the city gate.

When Qin Shaoyou saw Zhu Xiucai, Zhu Xiucai also saw them, hurriedly took out a few copper coins and put them on the tea table, got up and greeted them.

"My lord, I have found out."

When Zhu Xiucai said this, he didn't forget to wink at Cui Youxuan.

After going through a lot of things, Cui Yougui no longer knew how to read words and expressions, and he understood Zhu Xiucai's intention of winking at this moment.

He immediately chanted the spell and released the sound insulation technique.

Only then did Zhu Xiucai continue to report: "According to the editors, they arrested Yang Zhen and brought him to Beijing on charges of embezzlement and breaking the law."

Qin Qiaoer frowned, quite suspicious: "Master Yang has always been clean, how could he be corrupt and pervert the law? Do they have evidence?"

"No." Zhu Xiucai snorted coldly: "I also asked them if they had any evidence, but they said that editorial factories never need evidence to recruit people."

"It's a good one that never needs evidence. This is unwarranted. It is more arrogant than our town demon."

Qin Shaoyou frowned.

"But why did they do this? Could it be that Yang Zhen had offended them before, and now that he was dismissed, they took the opportunity to come and retaliate?"

Although Cui Yougui released the sound insulation technique, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but glance around at this moment.

After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he just covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "It is not ruled out that there is such a possibility, but according to the information I have inquired, it was ordered by the emperor to arrest Mr. Yang in the Editing Factory."

Is it the order of Emperor Jianwu?

Qin Shaoyou was even more surprised.

What does Emperor Jianwu want to do? Could it be that because Yang Zhen helped Zhang Zhenzhen and Master Suquan to write the letter, and because Yang Zhen had opposed him many times, did he want to kill Yang Zhen?

But why didn't he do this before, but after Yang Zhen returned to his hometown, he sent his editors to arrest Yang Zhen and bring him back to Beijing on trumped-up charges?

Isn't he afraid of arousing uproar and opposition from courtiers by doing so?

Filled with doubts, Qin Shaoyou asked: "Have you found out how the emperor will deal with Yang Zhen?"

Zhu Xiucai really found out, and immediately replied: "It is said that Yang Zhen will go to the Imperial Academy to participate in the compilation of books."

"Writing a book?"

Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer were both taken aback.

They originally thought that if Yang Zhen was arrested and brought to Beijing by the agents sent by Emperor Jianwu, even if he wasn't put in the prison of Jishichang, he should be put in imperial prison, and he might have to endure some torture.

Unexpectedly, he was arrested and sent to the Imperial Academy to compile a book...

When will the Hanlin Academy have to rely on arresting people to compile books?

If you want Yang Zhen to go to the Imperial Academy to compile a book, can't you just make a decree? Is it worth dispatching the editorial factory to get someone?

Also planted a charge of corruption and breaking the law?

Or is it that the compilation of books in the Hanlin Academy is not as simple as everyone imagined?

At this moment, Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered something.

Back then, in the underground palace where the Prince of Shu turned into a zombie, they found the remains of many civil servants and generals.

The son of the king of Shu used the Confucianism and blood energy left in the corpses of those civil servants and generals to practice and refine the elixir.

If the prince of Shu really turned into a zombie because of the elixir bestowed by Emperor Jianwu, then would this method of stealing the breath of civil servants and generals to practice have something to do with Emperor Jianwu?

Thinking further, Emperor Jianwu put a group of retired veterans and ex-official "criminal officials" in the Imperial Academy. Was he really asking them to study books, or was he borrowing their Confucian spirit to practice alchemy?

Qin Shaoyou rubbed his chin, and while listening to Zhu Xiucai's report, he pondered, he had to find a way to find out what was going on in the Imperial Academy.

Perhaps, the ink dots he put on Yang Zhen before were an opportunity.

After Zhu Xiucai reported the news he had heard, Qin Shaoyou asked Cui Yougui to remove the sound insulation technique.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a place in the capital, and the fluctuating spells can easily attract the attention of others. It will be bad if someone with malicious intentions targets him.

Before dark, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer sent Li Xin and Li Qinshi to the relevant yamen and handed in the practice outline.

According to the usual practice, the officials in this yamen want to find some faults and make some troubles in order to extort a sum of money.

But because of the red-clothed emissary accompanying them, these officials did not dare to act recklessly, they could only verify the facts honestly and accepted the practice guidelines.

Li Xin and Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the practice outline.

They planned to stay in the Jiangnan Guild Hall, stay in the capital for a while, and wait for Li Xin's health to fully recover before setting off to return to Jiangnan.

Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer sent them to the Jiangnan Guild Hall, and made an appointment to find them to have dinner with them after they finished their business.

After saying goodbye to Li Xin and Li Qinshi, Qin Shaoyou and his party rushed to the headquarters of Zhenyaosi to report.
