Chapter Twenty-Three: Unworthy

"Baby crying?"

Zhou Xinyi looked into Jiang Yi's eyes, he rarely saw such an intuitive anger in Jiang Yi's eyes.

Even when the Yi clan was pressed and beaten by monsters, Jiang Yi was still calm.

"Lippur officials have never been married," or rather, there are no serious marriages, and there are too many affairs and one-night stands to count," where did the baby come from? ”

Could it be an illegitimate child? But if it was an illegitimate child, he would have been picked up with so much black material, and an illegitimate child was not worth his nervousness.

But as the old successor, Jiang Yi's ears are much smarter than him, and he doesn't doubt that Jiang Yi will hear it wrong.

He asked Jiang Yi, "Can you find a specific location?" ”

Jiang Yi nodded, "I'll take you over." ”

Lipper's heart was already stirring up, the moment he heard that a judge had visited, he had already hidden "them" in the depths of the mansion, how long did this woman's ears grow, how could she still hear?!

Seeing the two of them get up, Li Pul also stood up immediately, this time he was not afraid of Jiang Yi beside him, and angrily blocked in front of them, "Your Excellency, I admit your ruling, but my family's private affairs, please forgive me for not showing it to Your Excellency!" ”

The more things are covered up, the more ghosts there are, how could the greedy Ripple give up his official title because of ordinary private matters in the family?

Zhou Xinyi stared at him, "Are you sure it's just an ordinary private matter?" ”

Although it was a rhetorical question, Lippel knew that he had guessed, so he warned viciously, "You'd better think about the consequences." ”

Normally, without waiting for Zhou Xinyi to speak, Jiang Yi first rushed forward and kicked over Li Puer, who was powerless, "I'll go to your consequences!" ”

She's in high spirits.

The emperor is never afraid of provocation!

"......" No matter how handsome Jiang Yi's movements are, Zhou Xinyi can always feel a not-so-smart temperament from her.

Lipple, who fell, fell to the ground, and he didn't get up immediately, but grabbed the cup on the table and threw it on the ground and smashed it!

Drop the cup?

The moment Zhou Xinyi's thought appeared, three craftsmen hidden in the shadows, like poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity, bit up!

Zhou Xinyi finally knew why Will could recognize his identity at a glance, even if he was wearing the same clothes and living in the same city, when the heirs and the natives stood together, they could recognize him differently at a glance.

One of the three craftsmen is the heir!

Jiang Yi's intuition was more acute than Zhou Xinyi's, and the moment the three of them pounced, she directly ignored the two aborigines, and looked at the inheritors who were mixed in with her sharp gaze.

"Do you accept all such commissions? Then it's not a pity for you to die! ”

"Dragon's Breath!"

The burst of black crystals rushed straight in the direction of the heir, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp crystals had pierced through the roof, leaving behind a spectacular black column!

Then, several shattered crystals fell, and the heir's clothes were torn, but not harmed.

He wiped the corners of his mouth angrily, "It's all for profit, who cares who this idiot is?" ”

Jiang Yi snorted and turned around to catch the swords of the two aborigines.

These three people are obviously the "hole cards" that Lipple left in the mansion, in order to deal with strong enemies and unexpected situations, I have to say that their strength should not be underestimated.

Although the two aborigines were invincible to Jiang Yi, they were also able to catch Jiang Yi's attack and slow her down.

And that inheritor is on a par with Jiang Yi.

Seeing them, Zhou Xinyi had to rejoice that he did not directly re-enter the tower of Young Master Ji An to complete the assassination mission on impulse, but chose to think in the long run.

Young Master Ji An's defense was only a lot more than that of Li Pur, and he could be sure that this was by no means the highest echelon of Ji Zhou City's overall combat power, not even the second echelon.

At this moment, Jiang Yi was fighting with the three of them, and seeing that he had fallen into the downwind, Zhou Xinyi immediately ran towards Li Pur.

The heir noticed the situation here and escaped to attack, but Jiang Yi had already followed.

"Dragon's Breath!"

Black crystals erupted, and a moat was suddenly separated between him and Zhou Xinyi!

Because of this momentary sluggishness, Zhou Xinyi's gun smoothly slammed into Lipper's head.

He said aloud, "Let these people stand down!" ”

Leeple was stunned, and shouted in fear and panic, "Get out of here!" Retire! ”

The battle on Jiang Yi's side was stopped by the situation on this side, and the two aborigines also nervously threw down their weapons.

The Inheritor is not loyal to Lippel and will not do anything tantamount to self-disarming, "You let him go." ”

Zhou Xinyi raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that it is still very important to choose a reliable client. ”

"Lest this fool catch fire and die yourself, you won't even get paid."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't kill him. ”

"It depends on your performance," Zhou Xinyi held a gun in one hand and lifted Li Pul in the other, "Is life important, or is it a secret?" ”

Lipple's face was pale, and he couldn't speak.

"Jiang Yi, let's go find a place to make a noise."

With a gun in his head, Lippel did not stop him, but was taken to the depths of the mansion with a blank face.

He specially built a dark room under the bed in a guest room, as for why he didn't repair it under the bed in his bedroom, Zhou Xinyi felt that it might be a weak heart, afraid of hitting a ghost in his dream.

Walking into the guest room, even Zhou Xinyi could clearly hear those seeping movements.

"What's inside?" Zhou Xinyi asked.

"One...... Some attempts ......" Lipper cried and refused to be more specific, for fear that Zhou Xinyi would directly shoot himself.

Jiang Yi listened carefully for a while and said, "Don't worry, it's not a dangerous thing." ”

As she spoke, she slashed the bed and pried open what looked like an entrance under the floor.

The cries of grumbling suddenly filled the entire mansion of the Lipple officials like the wind rushing out of the tunnel.

Several people jumped down in turn, and even the heir hired by Lipper followed.

The first thing they saw was a dozen children in cages, the oldest of whom was about a teenager and the youngest was seven or eight years old.

In the claustrophobic environment, the children wept and behaved in ways that were not of their age, such as gnawing their fingers, drooling, and crying like babies.

Zhou Xinyi noticed that most of them were paralyzed in the lower limbs and would make a sharp bark like a puppy due to the pain.

"What's going on?"

Seeing these huge iron cages, Zhou Xinyi suddenly remembered a sentence that the innkeeper inadvertently mentioned:

There have been a lot of children who have gone missing lately.

It turned out that it was sent here?!

Jiang Yi looked directly at a child, she not only stared, but also furrowed her brows in confusion.

There seemed to be something very puzzling to her about the group of children, and in order to clarify these doubts, she reached out to one of them.

Bang dang!

The cage made a loud noise from the child's violent movements, and the boy reached out from the cage and grabbed it like a claw, and finally hit the cage post in pain.

He bared his teeth and let out a long-stretched moo fiercely: "Meowβ€”β€”!! ”

Meow??

This sound seemed a little funny on such an occasion, which made Zhou Xinyi suddenly feel like his brain was being impacted.

The boy hunched over, if he had a tail, the tail would have exploded, his eyes widened, but he couldn't understand why it was still dark in front of his eyes, and he could only rely on instinct to let out a shocking "ha", "ha" sound.

He behaved like a cat!

Zhou Xinyi felt like someone had knocked his brain, and thought in shock - no, he was like a cat entering a human body!

These children were substituted for souls!

He was shocked to scan the other cages, and even the other animals could be seen in the other children! Dogs, cats, rabbits, even parrots, orangutans......

Although this era is tens of thousands of years ago, the chain of genes allows these animals to still look like they can be recognized!

Zhou Xinyi felt extremely angry.

When he saw the boy who looked like a cat, his eyes were wide open, and with the memory of being a human, he opened his throat and let out a "meow" that was even sharper than a cat's meow...... Mother...... Mom ...... when his anger reached the extreme!

In the civilization of tens of thousands of years ago, the ugliness of human nature has not changed in the slightest!

Zhou Xinyi pushed Lippur against the wall and slammed his head against the cold wall!

"You're done! Lipple, you are not worthy to be an official, or even to continue to live in this world! ”

In the pages of the notebook, black lines are moving.

"I want to kill you with my own hands!"

Zhou Xinyi smashed him on the head with a hammer, and the judge's hammer, which was originally unable to hurt, knocked him to the point that his head was bleeding, and he fainted in an instant!

This time, even the hired heir was just a cold looker.

Jiang Yi stood a little sluggishly in the cage, she didn't dare to pull out her sword for the first time, she was just thinking, when the edge was revealed, where should her sword go? Will it cut the iron cage to give them freedom, or will it end their life by slashing it to the throat?

None of that seems right.

Zhou Xinyi also calmed down at this time, and silently thought about the next question.

First of all, Lipple is finished, a two-tiered finish, both physiological and social.

Secondly, it is impossible for Ripple to do these things alone, so who is involved?

Did Young Master Ji An, who is obviously close to Lipple, intervene?

At last...... He had to immediately inform the officials of the Zengus officials about everything here, and since Li Pul and Young Master Ji An would be implicated, he should be happy to investigate it.

If Zengus was unwilling to investigate, it would mean that he had something to do with all this, and he immediately broke off his cooperation with this old thing.

But I think about it, at the important juncture of the election succession, an old fox like him will not leave such a fatal handle, and this matter has nothing to do with the three officials.

If he had, he wouldn't have seen it so easily.

Zhou Xinyi quickly finished all the things to be done according to the plan, and when he returned to the hotel with the depressed Jiang Yi, he happened to encounter the brandy that was waiting for them.

Brandy wanted to greet with a smile, but when he saw the faces of the two, he put his smile away.

He said a little confused, "You two, what happened on this trip?" ”

"Miss Jiang Yi...... Why are you crying? ”

Author's Note:

The part where the boy turns into a cat is indeed a reference to the "big brother" of Fullmetal Alchemist.
