At that moment, Xie Yixiang leaned in front of the window of the wooden house and peeked through the tattered window paper. I saw that there was a half-lit candle on the table in the room, swaying slightly in the light of a bean fire, and the two people sitting at the table, one was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, with a very Sven demeanor, and the other was a strong man with five big and three thick, who looked like a butcher, and it was the two people who spoke before. Just behind these two men, there were two women standing, tears on their faces were clearly visible, thinking that they were the wives of these two men, although one was a brocade dress and the other was a jinghai short, but they were both holding a two or three-year-old baby in their arms, and they were sleeping soundly at this time.

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but wonder in her heart, looking at the situation in this house, it was obvious that two families with different identities were discussing things, but they didn't know why, and they didn't know why they chose to be in the middle of the night. After half a ring, I saw the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sighed and said, "It's useless to say more, alas, since you can meet because of this, it can be regarded as fate." It's rare that you and I are both boys in our family, and we are of average age, and no one has ever suffered. Why don't you do this...... ......He didn't finish his words, but the wife behind him was already in tears, and the woman in the short coat opposite saw this, and she was also anxious to cry bitterly, and hugged the baby in her arms tightly, as if she was afraid of being taken away.

Who knew that the butcher-like strong man had already shouted: "What are you crying about? Lao Tzu himself has no food to eat, where is there food for him?" With that, he reached out and snatched the baby from his wife's arms, stuffed it into the arms of the man dressed as a scholar, and then snatched the baby from the arms of the brocade-clothed woman opposite. For a while, the two women present were crying, and the man dressed as a scholar hurriedly whispered: "Shhh......h This is not a glorious thing, don't alarm others!"

Seeing this scene in the house, even if Xie Yixiang was an idiot, he should have understood the intentions of the two families, and he was suddenly cold. I thought that the matter of "eating by changing children" was just a record in the history books, but I didn't know that under the "peaceful and prosperous era" of this dynasty, in this Ningyi City tonight, this scene actually appeared alive in front of my eyes.

Xie Yixiang hurriedly calmed down, remembering that there was still a bag of rice secretly given by Master Du in the burden behind him, and hurriedly reached out to touch it, wanting to use this bag of rice to save the lives of the two babies. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh, could it be that she had left the bag of five or six catties of rice in the guest room of the yamen and did not carry it with her? At the same time, with the sound she made, the people in the room suddenly woke up, and the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" And the strong man who looked like a butcher stood up and immediately opened the door to check.

For a while, Xie Yixiang only felt that her heart was blocked and she couldn't breathe, and she didn't have the courage to face the scene that happened in the house, so she subconsciously started her light work, went straight to the roof, and then ran away along the ridge of the row of houses on the side of the street. It wasn't until she ran a distance of dozens of feet in one breath, so that the two families could no longer find her, that she finally stopped on a roof, but she felt sore, so she lay down on the roof, looking up at the night sky above her head alone.

You must know that this scene that happened in the wooden house was just an accidental encounter by Xie Yixiang, and in this Ningyi City tonight, I don't know how many similar tragedies have happened, or are happening. Looking at many nearby households, there were still faint lights, making a faint smell of meat wafting in the night sky, and Xie Yixiang finally understood what kind of meat was cooking in their pot. I can't imagine that I chased all the way here because of this "human kitchen case", but encountered the siege of King Heng's rebels, which put the entire Ningyi City into such a situation, if I really want to arrest a murderer who "kills people and eats people", then the people of the whole city are not all murderers? This entire Ningyi City, isn't it even more purgatory on earth?

Thinking of this, all the cognitions of Xie Yixiang's life have completely collapsed almost in an instant. The reason why he joined the criminal arrest room was to punish evil and promote good, and simply do something for the people. However, in the final analysis, how much significance can there be in cracking a murder case, bringing a murderer to justice, and clearing the name of several families? Just like the current "human kitchen case," there are only four cases recorded so far, and in the past six years, barely 11 people have died as a result; even if this "human kitchen" committed 40 cases and killed more than 100 lives in six years, I am afraid that it will not be comparable to the murder and cannibalism that occurred overnight in this city of Ningyi. It's no wonder that Lord Fang didn't want to pay attention to it at all after hearing his intentions. In the face of King Heng's rebel siege, the people in Ningyi City were willing to eat even their own children in order to fill their stomachs and survive, so what else could they not eat or dare to eat?

And for this Ningyi City, there is no need for the head of the Jinling Torture Arrest House at all. Because the so-called law seems to be just and strict, but throughout the ages, "the law does not control the people". In the face of the thousands of "human chefs" in Ningyi City, Mo said that he was just a small catcher in the torture room, even if the emperor came in person, could it be that he could still handle it impartially according to the law and kill all the people in the city?

Therefore, today's Ningyi City has completely degenerated into a lawless demon city, or purgatory on earth. And the cause of this situation is the king of Heng who besieged the city with an army of 30,000 and kept saying that "the soldiers are not bloody, and no one is killed". If it were Xie Yixiang from before, and when he encountered such a situation, he would not stand idly by and say anything, and he would definitely try his best to resolve the danger of this city. But since her father was given to death by one of the emperor's steamed geese, she has completely seen the face of the current emperor, and she has become disheartened and even hated the court. Although the rebellious King Heng is by no means a good type, from her standpoint, it is equivalent to two great evildoers fighting each other, and she will help the court deal with King Heng?

Thinking back to the "Four Emperors Rising Together" mentioned by the Taoist priest of Fang Cai, and taking stock one by one, the eldest son of the emperor and the current emperor are the same as the raccoon dog, don't mention it; and the two princes of King Zhao and King Heng are also treacherous and cunning, compared to the current emperor, they are only afraid of surpassing them; even the grandson Mo Ming, who is only a teenager, now has Yan Sidao, Ning Cui and Prince Geshu and others by his side, even if he can still retain a pure heart, the power has already fallen into the hands of these wicked people around him, and it will not be a good kind. So after thinking about it, none of these so-called "true dragon emperors" are good things in the end.

Coming to this conclusion, Xie Yixiang suddenly felt as if there was a thunderbolt in her mind, reflecting her whole person clearly, and I don't know if it was the "ghost" that the words and thoughts left in her mind, and even the things that she had not been able to figure out in her life in the past few months became suddenly enlightened, and finally figured out the most basic truth in this world tonight in Ningyi City.
