Just now, although they had left first, they did not rush because they had nothing to do. As they walked and chatted, they fell behind Yan Guilai.
Along the way, the twelve patrols had been talking about Yan Guilai. They talked about his identity and his relationship with Ye Ling.
In three days, Ye Ling would go to the slums to select students for Aoki University.
And at this time, this Yan Guilai had strangely appeared in the run-down temple and killed two Sky Spirit Warriors so boldly.
Who would believe that he did not have any background? It must be known that … if he did not have a proper reason, he would have to pay with his life if he killed someone.
The most important thing was, when they were trying to capture Yan Guilai, how could this guy be so coincidental as to run directly to Ye Ling's place?
Although the Shadow Emperor and Ye Ling had always tried to distance themselves, as important people, they would never leave behind any evidence that could be used against them.
Although on the surface, they had asked them to enforce the law impartially and fairly under the premise of fairness, in the end, they had still kept Yan Guilai.
Most importantly, that Ye Ling had smiled and warmly invited Yan Guilai to try the desserts.
At that time, the twelve patrols had clearly seen that the way Ye Ling looked at Yan Guilai was more affectionate and happy than seeing her own son. Did he not know him? Even a ghost would not believe such words!
Especially at this moment, when they saw the big bag in Yan Guilai's hand. Although it was a normal straw mat, Ye Ling's mark was imprinted on the corner of the straw mat!
Twitching the corner of his mouth, the captain of the patrol team could not help but sigh. Did he not know him? How could a stranger be allowed to taste Sage Ye Ling's pastries and pack them up for takeout?
At this moment, in the eyes of the patrol captain, this Yan Guilai was either Ye Ling's illegitimate son or a prince of the Great Chu royalty who had gone out to travel. There was no other explanation.
When the sentries saw Yan Guilai, Yan Guilai and the two girls also saw the twelve sentries.
In just an instant, the little sister's pretty face became incomparably pale, and her small body trembled so much that it was about to fall apart.
Patting Yafu and Yaxin's shoulders lightly, Yan Guilai said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the matter is over. They won't make things difficult for me."
While speaking, Yan Guilai walked out of the crowd and cupped his fists to the patrol captain. "My lords, you've come at the right time. Someone is blackmailing us!"
Blackmail!
When he heard Yan Guilai's words, the fat boss's eyes widened. What kind of joke was this? Wasn't it just two buns? Was there a need to accuse him of such a big crime?
In front of the sentries, the fat boss did not dare show the slightest bit of carelessness. He smiled apologetically and said, "No, it's just two buns. It's not a big deal. We were just playing around."
Playing around?
Yan Guilai glared coldly at the fat boss and said, "I don't think you're playing around."
Looking around, the patrol captain said, "Both of you, shut up. I will investigate the specifics of the situation. For now, both of you must remain silent!"
As he spoke, the patrol captain waved his hand. A dozen sentries quickly dispersed into the crowd and began to inquire about the details.
Soon, all the information was sorted out and reported to the patrol captain.
The patrol captain glared coldly at the fat boss, then turned to Yan Guilai and said, "It's not a big deal. I think … we should just forget about this matter."
It's not a big deal?
He looked at the patrol captain in astonishment. If he had come a little later, who knew what the fat boss would have done. If he had really forced the two girls to take off their clothes for an inspection, wouldn't they have been so ashamed that they would bang their heads against the wall and die here?
However … although Yan Guilai was extremely angry, from another point of view, although the boss's actions were very bad, they did not cause any serious consequences.
Therefore, it was not that the sentries did not want to punish them, but according to the law of Ju Mu City, there was no way to punish them. Could it be that … they had only taken advantage of them verbally, and they had to be punished?
If Yan Guilai had come a little later, and the fat boss had really forced the two girls to kill themselves, then he would naturally not be able to escape the punishment of the law. But the problem was, all of this did not happen, did it?
Hehe …
Just as he was filled with righteous indignation, the fat boss turned his head and proudly raised his eyebrows at Yan Guilai. He said, "Forget it, forget it. Consider it my bad luck. Just treat it as feeding the two buns to the dogs."
Ah!
Hearing the fat boss's words, Yan Guilai suddenly exploded with anger. Was he trying to act innocent after taking advantage of the situation?
He took a deep breath. Since the other party wanted to die, then Yan Guilai would fulfill their wish.
Turning his head, Yan Guilai said to the patrol captain, "This matter, I'm afraid it's not as small as you think. If you can't make the decision, go and invite your head captain here."
What? Invite the head captain here? This kid … was simply yawning like a toad. What a big tone!
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the surrounding crowd could not help but discuss. Everyone thought that Yan Guilai was crazy.
However, the patrol captain did not find it funny, nor did he think that inviting the head captain was a crazy thing.
Smiling bitterly at Yan Guilai, the patrol captain said, "It's just a matter of two buns. Actually … there's no need to make such a big fuss. Why don't I ask him to apologize to you?"
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "When you arrested me just now, I sent these two girls to the stone bridge to wait for me."
As he spoke, Yan Guilai patted the two girls' shoulders tenderly and said emotionally, "Indeed, they are children from the slums. I believe that many people here have seen them before."
Nodding his head, the patrol captain said, "Indeed. At the very least, I know them. For the past three to five years, they and their friends have been living in that dilapidated temple. That's why I said that we should just forget about this matter."
Glancing at the patrol captain, Yan Guilai said, "I know that you must think that because they are children from the slums, they are destined to be poor. Therefore, it is normal for them to steal buns. However …"
As he spoke, Yan Guilai turned his head and said to Yafu and Yaxin, "Take out your jade pendants and show them to everyone."
When they heard Yan Guilai's words, Yafu and Yaxin were stunned at first. However, their faces immediately turned red.
That night, when the two girls had a fever, Yan Guilai had taken off their clothes and discovered the two jade pendants that they had been wearing.
These two jade pendants were the heirlooms of the Ya Family. No matter how poor they were, they would never sell them.
Under everyone's gaze, the two girls reached into their collars and pulled out two emerald green jade pendants in the shape of palm-leaf fans from the two red ropes.
The patrol captain's eyes widened when he saw the two exquisite jade pendants in the shape of palm-leaf fans.
Only the royal family could possess such treasures. No matter how rich an ordinary person was, they would never be able to buy them.
Pointing at the two palm-leaf fan jade pendants, Yan Gui Lai said, "These two palm-leaf fans were given to them when we parted just now. I told them to sell them and buy some good food and nice clothes."
