Chapter 3 Lost Children
The lobby and corridors of Jiang’s house were empty, except for occasional servants sweeping the floor. The training ground where they used to fight bravely was also empty, but it could be seen from the degree of wear and tear that the training ground had been used many times.
Jiang Li wanders around the Jiang family like a ghost.
He traveled to many places according to his memory, but five hundred years later, the current Jiang family is far from what Jiang Li remembered.
The closest memory to him is the small house he lived in at the beginning of time travelling, which is 80% similar.
He guessed that maybe someone lived in after he left, and since he became a queen, the Jiang family hurriedly tidied up the small room again, trying to restore the original appearance.
Jiang Li shook his head regretfully, and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Jiang’s family worshiped the ancestors. The oldest person knelt in the ancestral hall and prayed for the blessings of the ancestors.
In the ancestral hall, the old man knelt in the ancestral hall, the wrinkles on his face almost covered his eyes.
Jiang Li walked up to him, cast a spell, and saw the old man's appearance when he was young. His brows were three to four points similar to Jiang Yixing's, either Jiang Yixing's son or Jiang Yixing's grandson, or a younger generation.
And Jiang Yixing's confession card was impressively displayed at the bottom of a group of confession cards.
Jiang Li sighed softly, turned and left Jiang's house.
Jiang Yixing died after all.
Although it was expected, he was still a little bit disappointed.
Jiang Li strolled out of Jiang's house, sighing in his heart when a shrill voice interrupted his thoughts.
"My lord, it's been ten days, why have you been refusing to send someone to find our child!"
"We demand to meet the Santo!"
Opposite Jiang's house is the City Lord's Mansion. Several couples are begging the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to see the City Lord, but the guards are indifferent, as if they have not heard these people's pleadings.
"Without the permission of the city lord, no one is allowed to see the city lord, please leave quickly."
Another guard couldn’t bear to watch, but explained patiently: “Guys, the City Lord’s Mansion has always been short of manpower, and you only said that your child was stolen. After you found the trace, you followed all the way to Qingcheng before losing it. There are so many people coming and going in Qingcheng every day. Maybe the traffickers are just passing by. Even if we want to find them, we don’t know where to find them.”
"Children have been lost in several nearby cities, and all traces have disappeared in Qingcheng. Our children must be here!" Another person said angrily.
He tied an amulet with a positioning spell on the child's wrist. After the child was lost, he followed the trace of the spell to Qingcheng, and the trace of the spell disappeared. He also met several other parents who were in the same situation as himself. Some even lost their children directly in Qingcheng.
If he said that Qingcheng was fine, he would definitely not believe it!
"My child was lost in Qingcheng, how could the traffickers just pass by!"
Another guard with a blank face said: "Several people also understand that we are short of manpower. If you can prove that the traffickers are in Qingcheng, we will definitely send someone to find them. How about it?"
"What kind of **** talk is that!"
"We want to see the Santo!"
"Our children are lost here, but the officials do nothing. Is this what the Emperor's Township is doing!"
"My child was lost in Qingcheng, and I still have to prove that such a ridiculous thing will happen!"
The voices of the guards and several parents became louder and louder, and finally they quarreled, which attracted the attention of several guardians of the Jiang family.
"On the day when Jiang's family worshiped their ancestors, how noisy is it?" A guardian came out of Jiang's house and sternly scolded several people.
"As the guard of the city lord's mansion, you let a group of unscrupulous people gather in front of the city lord's mansion to make trouble, aren't you afraid that the city lord will blame you!"
When the guards heard this, they rushed to drive these people away, but Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he cast off the spell to hide his figure, and sneered aside.
"The Jiang family is so majestic, you can manage it in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion. If you like meddling so much, why don't you clean up the sanitation in front of the city lord's mansion?"
The protector was furious when he heard the words: "How dare you speak insultingly to the Jiang family!"
The parents who lost their children and the guards of the city lord's mansion were also surprised. The current emperor came from the Jiang family, not to mention in Qingcheng, even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, no one dared to say that about the Jiang family.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man jumped out from the side, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Li, while apologizing to the guardian of the Jiang family, he secretly transmitted voices to Jiang Li.
Boy, he contradicted the Jiang family as soon as he came out of the rivers and lakes. I'm tired of work, so hurry up. This matter involves Jiang Renhuang, don't go into this muddy water!
The middle-aged man hurriedly dragged Jiang Li away.
Before the others could react, the two disappeared.
"What about people?"
"Which family are you from? Before you left home, no one told you not to provoke the family!"
The middle-aged man dragged Jiang Li to a remote corner, and blamed him.
He saw that Jiang Li had a youthful face, acted recklessly, and was wearing clothes made of extremely high-quality materials, so it must be a child from a big family who ran out to practice.
"If it were another dynasty, I would naturally not dare to offend the unreasonable family, but this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the law governs the country, and the family dare not ignore the law."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was even more sure of his thoughts. This kid must be from a big sect or a big family, otherwise his vision would not be so broad, and the exit is to compare with other dynasties.
It should be noted that the Great Zhou Dynasty had a large area, and the monks in the Nascent Soul Stage might not have left the Great Zhou Dynasty in their entire lives, let alone comparing the Great Zhou Dynasty with other dynasties.
"Governing the country by law, your words can be used anywhere in the Great Zhou, except the Jiang family." The middle-aged man paused and continued, "The Jiang family is backed by the Jiang Renhuang. Who dares to punish them in the Great Zhou? They say that the Jiang Renhuang is selfless, but who can guarantee that he will not have selfish intentions for his family?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly when he heard the words: "As far as I know, Jiang Renhuang has been away from the Jiang family for five hundred years, and he has not returned to the Jiang family once during that period. Does this not prove that he has lost ties with the Jiang family?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said: "These are just propaganda made by Jiang Renhuang to create his selfless image. Blood is thicker than water. Has he ever secretly returned to Jiang's house?"
"When you are away from home, don't believe everything you hear. The world is not as bright as you think."
The middle-aged man pretended to have insight into the dark side of the world.
Jiang Lili said when did I come back here, why didn’t I know?
"Do you have evidence for what you said?" Jiang Li had the intention of questioning, but the middle-aged man was complacent, so he didn't hear Jiang Li's bad tone.
"Of course." The middle-aged man said confidently, "I have eavesdropped on the conversation between the Patriarch of the Jiang Family and the City Master of Qingcheng. The words of the Patriarch of the Jiang Family imply that Jiang Renhuang often goes home secretly to visit his younger generation."
