NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3 Lost Children
The lobby and corridors of the Jiang family were empty, except for the occasional servant sweeping the floor. The martial arts training ground where they used to show off their strength and courage was also empty, but the wear and tear on the training ground showed that it had been used many times.
Jiang Li wanders around the Jiang family like a ghost.
He followed his memory and traveled to many places, but five hundred years later, the current Jiang family was far different from what Jiang Li remembered.
The closest memory to it is the small house I lived in at the beginning of the time travel, which is eighty-nine percent similar.
He guessed that someone might have moved in after he left, and since he became the human queen, the Jiang family quickly tidied up the small room, trying to restore it to its original appearance.
Jiang Li shook his head with regret and walked towards the ancestral hall.
When the Jiang family worships their ancestors, the eldest man kneels in the ancestral hall and prays for the blessings of his ancestors. The rest of the family stays in the room and fasts for nine days without saying a word to show their piety.
In the ancestral hall, an old man was kneeling in the ancestral hall, with layers of wrinkles on his face almost covering his eyes.
Jiang Li walked up to him and cast a spell to see what the old man looked like when he was young. His eyebrows and appearance were similar to Jiang Yixing's. He was either Jiang Yixing's son or Jiang Yixing's grandson, or even younger. Junior.
Jiang Yixing's offering card was displayed at the bottom of a group of offering cards.
Jiang Li sighed softly, turned around and left the Jiang family.
Jiang Yixing died after all.
Although it was expected, he was still a little uninterested.
Jiang Li strolled out of Jiang's house, feeling sad when his thoughts were interrupted by a shrill voice.
Sir, it's been ten days, why have you refused to send someone to find our child?
We demand to see the city lord!
Opposite the Jiang family 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 and seem not to have heard these people's pleas.
No one is allowed to see the city lord without his permission. Please leave quickly.
The other guard couldn't bear to watch, but patiently explained: Guys, the City Lord's Mansion is always short of manpower, and you only said that your child was stolen. After you found the trace, you followed him all the way to Qingcheng before losing him. , Qingcheng has so many people coming and going every day, maybe the traffickers are just passing by, and even if we want to look for them, we don’t know where to start.”
Children have been lost in several nearby cities, and all traces have disappeared in Qingcheng. Our child must be here! Another person said angrily.
He tied an amulet with a locating spell on the child's wrist. After the child was lost, he followed the spell's trace to Qingcheng, and the spell's trace disappeared. Then he met several other parents who were in a similar situation to his own. Some people even lost their children directly in Qingcheng.
If you want to say that Qingcheng is fine, he definitely doesn’t believe it!
My child was lost in Qingcheng. How could the human traffickers just pass by!
Another guard with an expressionless face said: Please understand that we are short of manpower. If you can prove that the traffickers are in Qingcheng, we will definitely send people to find them. How about that?
What the hell is this!
We want to see the city lord!
Our children are lost here, but the officials do nothing. Is this what the Land of the Emperor does?
My child was lost in Qingcheng, and I still need to prove that such a ridiculous thing can happen!
The voices of the guards and several parents became louder and louder, and finally they started to quarrel, which attracted the attention of several Jiang family guardians.
It's the day of the Jiang family's ancestor worship, how unbecoming it is to make a scene! A protector walked out of the Jiang family and scolded several people.
As a guard of the City Lord's Mansion, you let a group of unruly people gather in front of the City Lord's Mansion to cause trouble. Aren't you afraid that the City Lord will blame you?
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly tried to drive these people away. Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he dispersed the spell to hide his figure and sneered from the side.
The Jiang family is so prestigious. You can all take care of the front door of the City Lord's Mansion. If you like to meddle in other people's affairs so much, how about you clean up the sanitation in front of the City Lord's Mansion?
The protector was furious when he heard this: You dare to speak rudely to the Jiang family, how brave you are!
The parents who lost their children and the guards of the city lord's palace were also surprised. The current emperor came from the Jiang family, not to mention in Qingcheng. Even in the entire Zhou Dynasty, no one dared to say this about the Jiang family. Could this person be a fool? Green head.
Suddenly a middle-aged man came out from the side and quickly grabbed Jiang Li. He smiled apologetically at the Jiang family protector and secretly sent a message to Jiang Li.
Boy, you are tired of contradicting the Jiang family as soon as you leave the world. Go away quickly. This matter involves Jiang Renhuang, so don’t go into this muddy water!
The middle-aged man quickly pulled Jiang Li away.
Before anyone else could react, the two disappeared.
Where are the people?
Which family are you from? Didn't anyone tell you not to mess with the family before you left home?
The middle-aged man pulled Jiang Li to a remote corner and scolded him.
He saw that Jiang Li looked young and acted recklessly. The clothes he wore were made of the best materials. He must have been a child from a big family who came out to practice.
If it were another dynasty, I would naturally not dare to provoke an unreasonable family, but this is the Great Zhou Dynasty. The country is governed by laws, and a family would not dare to ignore the law.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he became even more sure of his idea. This boy must be from a large sect or family. Otherwise, his horizons would not be so broad, and his export would be to compare with other dynasties.
It should be noted that the Great Zhou Dynasty covers a vast area, and monks in the Nascent Soul stage may not leave the Great Zhou Dynasty in their lifetime, let alone compare the Great Zhou Dynasty with other dynasties.
The country is governed by laws. Your words can be used anywhere in the Zhou Dynasty, except the Jiang family. The middle-aged man paused and continued, The Jiang family has the backing of the Jiang Renhuang. Whoever dares to punish them in the Zhou Dynasty will say that Jiang The Human Emperor is selfless, but who can guarantee that he will not be selfish towards his family?
Jiang Li frowned slightly when he heard this: As far as I know, Jiang Renhuang has been away from the Jiang family for five hundred years and has not returned to the Jiang family once. Doesn't this prove that he has lost his relationship with the Jiang family?
The middle-aged man sneered: These are just Jiang Renhuang's propaganda to create a selfless image. Blood is thicker than water. He has secretly never returned to the Jiang family once?
When you are out and about, don't believe everything you hear. The world is not as bright as you think.
The middle-aged man pretended to have seen the dark side of the world.
Jiang Lixin said when did I come back here? Why didn’t I know?
Do you have any evidence for what you said? Jiang Li had a vague intention of questioning, but the middle-aged man was so proud that he did not notice the unkindness in Jiang Li's tone.
Of course, the middle-aged man said confidently, I once eavesdropped on the conversation between the Jiang Family Patriarch and the Qingcheng City Patriarch. The Jiang Family Patriarch's words hinted that Jiang Renhuang often went home secretly to visit his descendants.
