Chapter 116 Conning Yang Muxi

Catch Zhang Guanren?

He is a member of the Mei family!

Isn't doing this just asking for death?!

The adjutant's expression changed slightly, "This young master, I advise you not to interfere in this matter!"

"Some people are not people you can afford to offend..."

"Bold!"

Xu Changqing shouted angrily and walked out from behind Jiang Chen.

His tiger eyes were full of anger, and the look in his eyes was particularly frightening as he looked at the adjutant: "A mere city guard dares to talk nonsense and offend our young master!"

As he spoke, he released the aura he had developed on the battlefield, shocking the officers and soldiers present to retreat several steps!

The adjutant, who bore the brunt of it, turned pale. As he stepped back, sweat broke out on his forehead. For a moment, he didn't dare to look directly into Xu Changqing's eyes.

"You, what is your background?"

Xu Changqing didn't speak, and threw a waist tag at him.

The city guard adjutant hurriedly took it. It felt extremely heavy. The four large characters engraved on it made his legs tremble.

'Thump!'

With a muffled sound, the adjutant's knees hit the ground, his whole body shaking like a sieve. Only his hands remained steady, holding the waist tag high.

He said in fear, "General Xu..."

"Shut up!"

Xu Changqing frowned and scolded, afraid of exposing Jiang Chen's identity.

The city guard adjutant shut his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes, his heart filled with deep regret.

This stark contrast made Yang Muxi's eyebrows furrow slightly, and a guess arose in her heart.

A follower alone could scare a city defense officer like that. What was this person's background?

She was lost in thought, her beautiful eyes staring straight ahead, her probing gaze piercing through the gray veil of her bamboo hat, fixed on Jiang Chen's back.

Sensing the burning gaze behind him, Jiang Chen turned his head slightly and gave Yang Muxi a reassuring smile.

After that, he looked at the city defense adjutant with a dignified gaze and said lightly, "Aren't you arresting people yet? Are you waiting for us to invite you?"

The city defense officer's pupils shrank, and he quickly stated, "No, no, no! It's just that this lowly one's eyes failed to recognize Mount Tai!" (idiom for not recognizing someone important)

"I, this lowly one will go arrest people now!"

After speaking, he carefully presented the waist tag to Xu Changqing, turned around, and said loudly, "Go, arrest people!"

"This Zhao Wu colluded with Zhang Guanren to force women into prostitution and seize other people's property. His crimes are heinous. Immediately arrest them and send them to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation!"

"As for... Colonel Zhao, he is also suspected of participating in this matter. First, collect his remains and send them to the Ministry of Justice together. After the investigation is clear, notify his family to claim them!"

Under the command of the adjutant, a group of soldiers quickly cleaned up the mess in the teahouse, preparing to send the people involved to the Ministry of Justice.

Jiang Chen saw this and gave Xu Mu a look.

Xu Mu immediately understood and followed the soldiers, preparing to supervise the matter throughout the entire process and severely punish this 'Zhang Guanren'!

After resolving the incident.

Jiang Chen turned his head and said to the cool and beautiful woman behind him, "Sect Leader Yang, I admire the contributions you have made for the people of Yu Province!"

"Today, I am fortunate to meet you. I wonder if I have the honor to get to know you?"

Yang Muxi's beautiful eyes under the bamboo hat flashed.

She was cold by nature and didn't like socializing with people.

But this person had just helped her out. Although she didn't need the help, kindness was kindness. It would be a little inappropriate to refuse directly.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded hesitantly and said, "You are too kind. May I ask your honorable name, young master?"

Jiang Chen was still planning how to get closer to Yang Muxi and didn't want to reveal his information too quickly.

So he changed the topic and said, "Sect Leader Yang, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we find a quiet place to sit down and chat?"

Hearing this, Yang Muxi looked around.

She discovered that those people who had been dispersed by the officers and soldiers had unknowingly gathered around again, craning their necks and peering inside.

She had never liked noise, so she nodded and said, "Alright. However, I am new to the imperial capital and not familiar with the environment. I will have to trouble you to lead the way, young master."

This was exactly what Jiang Chen was waiting for. He laughed loudly and said, "I am willing to be your host."

In the elegant room of Wangjiang Tower, the largest restaurant in the imperial capital.

The two sat on opposite sides of the table, which was filled with the delicacies that Feng Jin had arranged.

Jiang Chen said, "Sect Leader Yang, as far as I know, you are from Yu Province. Why did you suddenly come to the imperial capital? Is there something you need to take care of?"

As he spoke, he revealed a confident smile and said, "I have some influence in the imperial capital. If you don't mind, I can help you."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Yang Muxi looked at Jiang Chen, who was showing his goodwill frequently, and became vigilant.

She said coldly, "There's no need. We are not relatives, so I dare not trouble you, young master."

Jiang Chen saw her concerns, so he deliberately put on a desolate look and said disappointedly:

"Sect Leader Yang, I thought that after the confrontation in the teahouse just now, we were already friends... I didn't expect..."

At this point, Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile.

He looked at Yang Muxi with disappointed and reproachful eyes: "Forget it, I overestimated myself and thought I was qualified to befriend you..."

Seeing this, Yang Muxi couldn't help feeling guilty and explained somewhat helplessly, "I, I didn't mean that."

"The reason why I came to the capital this time is actually to eliminate the tyrant and restore the country!"

"This matter is of great importance. The reason why I didn't tell you is because I didn't want to implicate innocent people!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Yue and the others' expressions changed drastically.

She wants to assassinate His Majesty?!

The few people were about to stand up and capture Yang Muxi on the spot.

But Jiang Chen took the lead in stopping them, making a hidden gesture to keep quiet and not act rashly, so as not to expose their identities!

Then, he showed a look of surprise and said, "The matter that Sect Leader Yang wants to do is really extraordinary!"

"I just don't know why Sect Leader Yang has to travel thousands of miles to the capital to assassinate the current emperor?"

Yang Muxi's expression was solemn and respectful: "This tyrant cruelly kills loyal officials, seizes other people's wives, and oppresses the people. He is not worthy to be a ruler!"

"The reason why I came to the capital this time is to act on behalf of Heaven, kill this scoundrel, and restore peace to the people!"

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue in amazement.

This leader of the Taiping Dao is indeed a beauty, and her skills are high enough, but it is a pity that she is too simple-minded, with only one thing on her mind. She didn't even understand the situation and came to assassinate him, the emperor, in a fit of fever!

"Cough, Sect Leader Yang is noble! I admire you!"

Jiang Chen praised and said worriedly: "But there are many experts in the inner palace, and there are tens of thousands of imperial guards guarding it."

"In this situation, even if you can successfully assassinate him, how will you escape from the palace afterward?"

"After all, when the emperor dies, these people will definitely go crazy and want your life, the murderer, at all costs!"

Yang Muxi's expression was still indifferent, as if she didn't care about life and death.

She said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. As long as I can kill that tyrant and restore stability to the world, I am willing to die."

A complex look flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly foolish, but the purity in Yang Muxi's eyes is particularly touching, making him unable to resist wanting to possess her.

After a few seconds of silence, a bold idea suddenly flashed in Jiang Chen's mind.

He said directly: "Sect Leader Yang, I will help you with the matter you want to do!"

"As long as I am here, you can enter and leave this palace freely!"

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Changqing, Meng Qi, Feng Jin and others all had twisted faces and their eyelids twitched wildly!

What is His Majesty doing again?!
