Chapter 4 You are so stubborn [Thanks to the leader "Sandu Sate" for the reward]

what?
When Liang Yue heard this, his mind buzzed.

How do I know?
I only knew this after hearing you say it!

No wonder this guy has such a high level of cultivation. Is he the legendary Nine-Yang secret agent? No wonder he suddenly jumped up when he saw three of his own people rushing towards him with knives...

I think he had something to hide and mistakenly thought that the three people were going after him, so he attacked first.

We guys were originally heading for the old man pushing the cart behind, but our routes overlapped slightly.

I never thought that there would be an unexpected gain.

"We didn't know he was a spy of the Nine Yang..." Liang Yue said sincerely, "It was just that when we were patrolling the streets, we noticed that he looked suspicious and had a murderous aura, and he didn't seem to be a good person, so we went forward to check, and he was indeed guilty..."

"You have a good eye." Wen Yifan praised lightly and handed over the portrait in his hand.

Liang Yue took it and found it was a wanted warrant. Only then did he realize that this person was of high status.

Yu Wenlong, previously a sixth-rank Wu'an Hall attendant and a general in the army, massacred civilians and killed innocent people to claim credit during the Yin Dynasty's expedition to Haiyue Kingdom, and was wanted by Donghai General Ling Sansi.

After investigation, it was discovered that this person was actually one of the secret spies sent by Jiuyang to Yin Dynasty for many years. The purpose of doing so was not only to climb up, but also to destroy military discipline, spread bad reputation, and ruin Yin Dynasty's reputation among neighboring countries.

The intention is extremely malicious.

When he was taken back to the capital of the gods for trial, he managed to escape. The Evil Punishment Department issued a wanted order overnight and posted it at the gates of various cities. Unexpectedly, this guy was so bold that he returned to Longyuan City on his own. In order to avoid being tracked down, he shaved his head and disfigured himself, so that people could not recognize him at all from his portrait.

However, he was a bit too ruthless. When Liang Yue and others rushed over, he decisively chose to strike first.

If he had hesitated a little, he might have escaped the disaster.

"He is unlucky today!" Liang Yue said heavily after reading it.

To outsiders, this may sound like a form of boasting, saying that they are powerful and that it is bad luck for criminals to meet them.

But, we guys know it in our hearts.

This guy is really unlucky.

Wen Yifan held up a white silk handkerchief with his left hand, took out a white porcelain bottle with his right hand, and poured out three pills onto the handkerchief.

"The three of you are all injured. Here are some pills that can stabilize your qi and blood and heal your internal injuries." Wen Yifan handed over the pills as well.

"Thank you." Liang Yue nodded.

"Once we take him back to the Zhuxie Division, we will write a letter to the Imperial Guard Office to request credit for you." Wen Yifan said this last sentence, turned around and left.

Liang Yue held the pill in his palm and looked at her back, swaying like a willow in the wind, slightly lost in thought.

In his previous experience, he had never seen such a woman before. She had a clear and flawless temperament, as if there was not a trace of dirt inside or outside.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with the path of spiritual practice.

Judging from her magical powers, she is obviously an accomplished Qi-refining practitioner, which may be the source of her angel-like temperament.

And her stunning sword move that spanned the ten-mile-long street was truly shocking, allowing Liang Yue to feel the power of the legendary Qi Refiner for the first time.

"Liang Yue..."

"Ayue..."

He heard two low calls from behind. He turned around and saw Pang Chun and Chen Ju lying on the ground, waving at him weakly.

"I know this girl is beautiful, but..." Chen Ju said sadly, "Can you give us the medicine first?"

"What does it taste like?" Pang Chun also looked over here: "I want to try it too."

"Ah." Liang Yue came back to his senses, quickly helped his two brothers up, and fed Wen Yifan's pills to them one by one.

Chen Ju took the pill and swallowed it, then he exclaimed: "Is this the Xuanmen Deer Blood Pill?"

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue asked.

"This elixir is a secret recipe of the Xuan Sect. It can strengthen the Qi and blood, expand the meridians, and has a very strong effect! One pill costs at least several hundred taels, and there is no market for it." Chen Ju exclaimed: "This girl just gave me three pills. How generous."

Liang Yue glanced in the direction where Wen Yifan disappeared, and was also a little surprised.

Not only does this woman have extraordinary cultivation, she also has a stunning beauty; not only does she have a stunning beauty, she is also a wealthy woman who is generous with her money?
……

An old farmer who was selling iced sour plum juice in the alley heard the noise behind him, looked back, saw the soldiers arresting people, and turned back hurriedly.

He seemed to be afraid, lowered his head, pushed the cart, stopped shouting, and walked quickly through the alley towards the city gate. Fukangfang was near the south gate of Shendu, and it didn't take long to arrive.

He was hidden in the crowd leaving the city, inconspicuous, and was about to leave the city with the crowd.

Sudden.

A hand stretched out from one side and pressed on his cart.

"You still have most of your sour plum juice left and it's still bright outside. Why are you in such a hurry to go home?" The old farmer pushing the cart's shoulders trembled. He looked up and saw a tall and handsome young man from the Imperial Guard looking at him with a smile. His other hand had already lifted the blanket on the ice bucket to check. It was Liang Yue.

"Sir, I'm not feeling well. I might be sick. I want to go home and have a rest." The old farmer explained with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue asked with a smile, "Have you played with fire too much?"

"Ah?" The old farmer was confused and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

"Ayue!" Two sickly imperial guards came rushing over. They were Pang Chun and Chen Ju.

Although they were seriously injured, after taking the pills given by Wen Yifan, they saw immediate effects. Their qi and blood were stabilized immediately and were greatly replenished. Now they only had minor external injuries.

At this moment, Pang Chun was holding a piece of ice wrapped in cloth in his big hand. The outside was melted and the inside was very turbid.

It was exactly the piece that the old farmer had just thrown into the backyard of the shop.

"I saw you throw this piece of ice into someone's backyard with my own eyes, and you still don't know?" Liang Yue asked, "Why don't you tell the truth? Why did you set fire to Fukangfang?"

"Oh!" The old farmer knelt down and said, "Sir, I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Really?" Pang Chun was also puzzled. "Didn't he just throw ice into someone's backyard? Ice and fire are not even related."

Chen Ju blinked and whispered, "No matter where they are, sometimes they are next to each other."

"Dachun, throw the ice cube to the ground." Liang Yue said to Pang Chun.

Pang Chun followed his instructions and threw the ice aside. It was frozen solid and had not yet broken. Liang Yue drew his sword and chopped it again, finally splitting the ice in two.

A pile of white powder inside spilled out and fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Chen Ju was curious and wanted to get closer to take a look.

"It's phosphorus powder." Liang Yue said hurriedly: "Stay away!"

At first there was nothing, but as a gust of wind blew the powder away, a ball of green flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the flames ignited in an instant with a hissing sound, accompanied by thick smoke, and it was quite fierce!

"Ah!" Pang Chun and Chen Ju were both shocked.

"This thing is called white phosphorus. Once exposed to the air, it will easily self-ignite." Liang Yue took out a small bag from his arms and opened it. Inside was some soil mixed with white powder. "I found this in the fire scene last night. It is the residue after the phosphorus powder burned."

"Oh..." Chen Ju exclaimed in sudden realization, "No wonder we couldn't catch the arsonist at night!"

"That's right." Liang Yue said, "During the day, he pretended to sell sour plum soup and threw the ice cubes wrapped in phosphorus powder in the bucket into the backyard of the shop, which was mostly a wooden shed for storing dry firewood and sundries. When the ice cubes completely melted and the water evaporated at night, the phosphorus powder was exposed and would burn at the slightest disturbance. The fire was very fast. The ice cubes not only made the phosphorus powder easier to carry, but also played a delaying role. This is why we see green will-o'-the-wisp fires and why arsonists are never caught at night."

"there is only one truth……"

"The source of this fire was what he threw in during the day!"

Liang Yue pointed at the old farmer selling ice cream, and the other party suddenly collapsed to the ground. He didn't expect that such a covert method would be discovered, and he looked panicked.

"You're really good." Chen Ju gave Liang Yue a thumbs up, "If it weren't for you, I would never have thought of this in my life."

Liang Yue smiled gently.

It's nothing.

It's just the power of knowledge.

……

The three men took the arsonist back to the Yuduwei Yamen and locked him up first. They needed to interrogate him in detail as to why he set the fire.

When they went to report to Hu Tiehan, they happened to receive a letter from the Zhuxie Division requesting credit for the three men.

According to the letter from the Zhuxie Division, it was not the three Imperial Capital Guards who "assisted" in capturing the Jiuyang spy, but it was "entirely due to" the three's caution when patrolling the streets that they were able to catch the spy who had changed his appearance.

Such statements meant that what the Punishing Evil Office asked them to do was not "second merit" but "first merit".

This surprised the three of them.

In comparison, their contribution in catching the arsonist in Fukangfang is really not worth mentioning.

Hu Tiehan looked at the documents on the table and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he slowly said, "Xiao Liang..."

"I was a little impatient before, so I said something angrily to you... I never expected that you would be so stubborn."

"If I ask you to catch a nine-bridled spy, will you really do it?"
