Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 215 Capture
"Teacher, will this case have any impact on you?" Jia Qiang asked.

"The main reason is that the Ministry of Industry is keeping an eye on it so that the truth can be found out as soon as possible. It will have little impact on Dali Temple. Anyway, I already know who the murderer is. It just takes time to catch him!" Lin Ruhai replied with a smile.

This is why Lin Ruhai took the initiative to take over the major case of official murder when he discovered it.

No matter how many secrets there are behind this case, the murderer is already known, and most of this major case has been solved.

With Lin Ruhai's status, he could investigate any step he wanted.

If he didn't want to find out what was going on behind the scenes, he could just settle the case after catching Liu Xianglian, which would also be an explanation to the Ministry of Industry.

"That's true!" Jia Qiang replied confidently.

He was not too worried about the arrest of Liu Xianglian.

He had many strong men around Lin Ruhai, but he did not believe that Liu Xianglian's force could fight against many strong men.

The next afternoon, when Jia Qiang returned from the palace, she heard that Xue Tong was visiting.

Zizhu Temple is located on the outskirts of the capital, only more than thirty miles away.

The reason why he asked Xue Pan was because according to the original trajectory, Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan would meet, first become enemies, then become friends and become brothers.

Jia Qiang could just stretch out her fingers and crush Liu Xianglian to death, just like why an elephant cares about ants.

"Thank you uncle!" Xue Tong was overjoyed. When he saw Xue Pan standing aside, he kicked him in the leg and said angrily.

"Among the congratulatory gifts sent this time, some are the top-grade Crow Falcon stones that Jiahou requested. I went to Sri Lanka this time and brought back these top-grade Crow Falcon stones!" Xue Tong continued.

Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan and thought of something.

Listening to Xue Pan's answer, it was obvious that there was no accident due to Jia Qiang's interference.

The trade route to Sri Lanka is extremely dangerous, and with Xue Tong's wealth there is no need to go there in person.

"You said it was Mr. Liu, that's my brother!" Xue Pan replied proudly.

"Brother Xue, from now on, you should pay more attention to Xue Pan's friendships outside. Don't get acquainted with gangsters like this!" Jia Qiang ignored Xue Pan and turned to Xue Tong.

That is, when Xue Tong and his son left Jiahou Mansion, a figure left from the back door of Jiahou Mansion.

"Xiangong Liu is not a gangster, uncle, did you make a mistake?" Xue Pan immediately retorted after hearing Jia Qiang's words.

"Who is Jiahou? He needs to frame Liu Xianglian?" Xue Tong shook his head and said.

The main reason is that Jia Qiang's official position is too high, so high that he must look up to him.

Xue Tong glared at Xue Pan, stood up and said goodbye.

"Dad, Mr. Liu is really not a gangster!" Xue Pan still insisted after they walked out of Jiahou Mansion.

"For Xue Pan's case, let him go to Dali Temple, and let Dali Temple send him to the border. Then he will work it out and go to Yulin Town on Jiubian. There are all his own people there, and he will stay there for two or three years. You can come back with outstanding performance!" Jia Qiang took the initiative to put forward her thoughts on Xue Pan's case.

The chief soldier of Yulin Town is Zang Feiyu, who is his direct subordinate.

Perhaps being sentenced to exile at the border is a big deal for others, but for Jia Qiang, it is a small and manageable matter.

A smile appeared on Xue Tong's face. Ever since he saw Jia Qiang ascending to a high position step by step and getting farther and farther away from him, he could do less and less for Jia Qiang. This was the reason for his trip to Sri Lanka.

Xue Tong looked at Jia Qiang, who still had a youthful face. Who would have thought that in a few years, Jia Qiang would already have a super-grade title, a first-grade military attaché, and a civil servant would also join the cabinet.

It was Jia Gong who left. With the advanced level of 'Corpse Exorcism' and Jia Qiang's 80 points of spirit, his controllable range over Jia Gong increased to about a hundred miles.

Even if Xue Pan is not smart, he still knows Jia Qiang's identity, and it is impossible to discredit Liu Xianglian because there is no need.

It can be said that Jia Qiang's status today can definitely be ranked among the top ten in Daqian.

Jia Qiang was startled. He knew that Xue Tong had gone out to do business, but he did not expect that Xue Tong went to Sri Lanka in person.

"Brother Xue, thank you very much!" Jia Qiang solemnly thanked him.

Jia Qiang calls him eldest brother, but he dare not call Jia Qiang a good brother.

Not to mention Dali Temple, Lin Ruhai is the minister of Dali Temple, and it is not considered an illegal trial, not even trouble.

"Jia Hou, I'm not here for the case. When I arrived in the capital recently, I heard that you had been promoted, so I came here to congratulate you!" Xue Tong said with a reserved expression.

Although this trip is extremely dangerous, it can be exchanged for Jia Qiang's friendship, which is extremely cost-effective for him as a businessman.

Seeing Xue Pan, Jia Qiang almost knew Xue Tong's purpose.

The only possibility is that he asked Xue Tong to purchase the top-grade Raven Falcon Stone before.

Jia Qiang asked the housekeeper Lu Xun to ask Xue Tong to wait in the hall. When he arrived in the hall, he saw Xue Tong and Xue Pan waiting.

Jia Qiang lazily argued with the fool. He picked up the teacup and didn't drink it, just held it.

He sent Mrs. Xue away last time, but he didn't expect Xue Tong to come again.

"Brother Xue, you're welcome!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile on her face, hearing that she was not here to ask for help.

"Do you know where Liu Xianglian is?" Jia Qiang asked again.

"Xianggong Liu lives in the Zizhu Temple outside the city. Why did uncle ask Xianggong Liu?" Xue Pan replied directly. After waiting for the answer, he thought of why Jia Qiang asked.

"Thank you, uncle!" Xue Pan responded. Although he was not satisfied with being exiled to the border, he still bowed and thanked him.

"Xue Pan, do you recognize Liu Xianglian?" Jia Qiang asked.

"Brother Xue is here for Xue Pan's case?" Jia Qiang frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Jia Gong left the house and summoned the divine war horse to a deserted place.

Since it was daytime, he just let the divine war horse advance in small steps inside the city, and then increased its speed after leaving the city.

Zizhu Temple is a small temple with a large hall in the middle and a row of six rooms on the left and right. Behind the main hall is a wide field and a row of houses.

Liu Xianglian was practicing swordplay in the field at the moment. The two swords danced like flowers flying in his hands. His subordinates were also practicing on the side.

As Lin Ruhai said, they are a group of Jianghu people.

Jianghu people with good foundation will naturally have ways to make money, while those without foundation will become bandits if they are more ruthless.

Liu Xianglian considers herself a knight, but her family has been defeated, so the way to make money is to rob the rich and give to the poor.

At first, he was just looking for people who were unkind for the sake of wealth, but as his reputation spread, he also got some commissions, and gradually he used people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

"Xiangong Liu, the matter has been found out!" At this time, a man on horseback came from the front and shouted loudly.

"San'er, do you know the identity of the owner of the motorcade?" Liu Xianglian stopped the sword in her hand and asked in a deep voice.

"The owner of the motorcade is Lord Jia!" San'er replied. "Which Lord Jia?" Liu Xianglian asked in surprise.

The convoy owner I met that day had seen their group. As long as they went further, they would encounter the murder scene.

So he asked people to find out the identity of the team owner, and wanted to ask the client to shut up the team owner.

He knew that the identity of the client was not simple, and most officials in Beijing wanted to give him some face.

"It's Master Jia Qiang and Jia Hou!" San'er replied affirmatively.

"No, we have to leave the capital and can't stay any longer!" Liu Xianglian made an immediate decision.

His family has some connections with the government, and a lot of information can be obtained.

He respected and feared Jia Qiang. Jing was also alone and practicing martial arts. He could only be reduced to a gangster, but Jia Qiang became a top-grade marquis and a first-grade military attaché.

What he was afraid of was Jia Qiang's methods. He didn't care whether there was any hidden secret in some things. Just by looking at the fate of every enemy who had enemies with Jia Qiang, he could know how ruthless Jia Qiang's methods were.

"Everyone pack your bags, we will leave in a quarter of an hour!" He ordered the subordinates next to him.

Although the subordinates did not know the reason, they obeyed the order and began to go back to their rooms to pack their things.

Just when the subordinates had packed up their things and were about to pick up the horses, a strong wind blew up in the field, raising the dust on the ground.

Liu Xianglian's hair stood on end as he looked into the dust. He sensed that there was a terrifying beast in the dust.

The dust gradually thinned, and the men also spotted the figure appearing in the field.

Jia Gong did not use the hidden effect of 'Psychic Baoyu'. His aura was rising. He held the divine bow in his hand and looked at Liu Xianglian.

He didn't care about other men.

"Kill him!" Liu Xianglian didn't need to issue an order. All the men shouted. Although they didn't mount their horses, they were all familiar with foot and horse fighting. They each drew their weapons and rushed towards Jia Gong.

Liu Xianglian also held her hand on the Yuanyang Sword, ready to assist his subordinates at any time.

Jia Gong moved, and at a speed of fourteen arrows per second, when he launched his attack, a large number of arrows suddenly appeared in front of him and flew out.

Thirty-five men were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground in just one breath.

Only Liu Xianglian was left on the field. Standing on the field, Liu Xianglian felt cold all over, and his underwear was soaked in cold sweat.

He has never seen such a powerful opponent. The thirty-five men are all good players. Although they are not as strong as him, it will be difficult for him to deal with thirty-five men if they come together.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?" Liu Xianglian asked.

Only then did he realize that his words were very dry and his throat was extremely dry.

Jia Gong moved, and the divine war horse rushed towards Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian wanted to pull out the Yuanyang Sword, but as soon as his hand touched the hilt, he felt hit on his neck, and his body went limp and fell into a coma.

When he woke up, he found that the bodies of thirty-five subordinates were neatly placed. He was also tightly tied up, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth.

He did not find the terrifyingly powerful Jia Gong in the main hall of Zizhu Temple.

He felt happy and mobilized the great strength in his body to break free from the rope.

But he soon discovered that the rope on his body was not an ordinary rope, but a rope specially made for warriors, which could prevent damage from huge forces.

Just when he was about to think of a solution, a group of government officials came in from outside the hall.

The yamen were sent by Dali Temple. Jia Qiang informed Lin Ruhai that Liu Xianglian had been found. Lin Ruhai sent someone to Zizhu Temple to take Liu Xianglian away.

This major case was quickly solved, and Lin Ruhai's reputation in Beijing became even stronger.

As for who invited Liu Xianglian, Lin Ruhai had no intention of interrogating him.

Liu Xianglian has been sentenced to death row for the crime of killing an official, and is waiting to be executed next autumn.

Xue Tong did not want his family to live in Lixiangyuan in Rongguo Mansion, but he had just returned and his family had lived here for several years and could not move out immediately.

At this moment in Lixiang Courtyard, Mrs. Xue was wiping away tears, while Xue Baochai was packing Xue Pan's clothes.

"I heard that the winter in Jiubianjun Town is very cold, please bring some cold clothes for Pan'er!" Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Pan with tears in her eyes and confessed to Xue Baochai.

"It's because of your pampering that I'm so lawless. Jia Houye has already said that there will be someone to take care of me when I get there!" Xue Tong said impatiently.

"Tell me, Jiahou Jia's noble status means that Pan'er can't be exempted from the crime?" Mrs. Xue asked in a low voice.

"Even the palace knows about this evil criminal. Do you think Lord Jia will beg the palace for him? I am able to do this because of all the hard work and favors I have made over the past few years!" Xue Tong gritted his teeth and said.

Thinking of the hard work for several years, going to Sri Lanka and narrowly escaping death to bring back the gems, this favor was used on Xue Pan.

Although there is still some friendship, the possibility of getting Jia Qiang's full help again is very low.

"Is Sister Bao here?" Just as the room was filled with sadness, Jia Baoyu's voice sounded outside.

Dissatisfaction flashed in Xue Tong's eyes. Even if a marriage was planned between Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu's unabashed behavior was extremely rude.

He didn't know what Mrs. Xue had done until he returned home. He didn't expect that Mrs. Xue had spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in order to marry his daughter to the Jia family.

The matter was settled when he knew it, and it was not easy for him to overturn it.

Jia Baoyu entered the room and was stunned when he saw Xue Tong and Mrs. Xue both there.

"Baoyu is here, come in and sit down!" Mrs. Xue greeted quickly.

Jia Baoyu recovered and shamelessly sat next to Xue Baochai.

"Hey, are you planning to go out?" He saw the luggage Xue Baochai was packing and asked curiously.

"Pan'er is going out for a while and is packing her luggage!" Mrs. Xue replied.

"Why are you going out? Are you afraid of being implicated by Liu Xianglian?" Jia Baoyu looked at Xue Pan and asked.

"What's wrong with Mr. Liu?" Xue Pan asked quickly when he heard Liu Xianglian's name.

"Liu Xianglian committed the crime of killing an official and was put on death row by Dali Temple. I never thought that such a beautiful person could do such a thing!" Jia Baoyu has always judged people by their appearance, he said regretfully.

"I was the one who harmed Mr. Liu!" Xue Pan muttered to himself, thinking of Jia Qiang's question about Liu Xianglian.

He was extremely depressed and thought he had betrayed his friends.

"Jia Houye has said that Liu Xianglian is a gangster, and he dares to commit such serious crimes as killing officials. You don't have to worry about him getting along with him and he will kill you in anger!" Xue Tong heard that Liu Xianglian When he committed the serious crime of killing an official, his heart was raised and he said in a deep voice.
