Chapter 173 Drones

"The madam is back," Xiangxiang called out, and Ji Yingying and the others immediately returned to their seats.

As soon as the door opened, a group of beautiful women filed in from outside, each dressed in a dazzling ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), their skirts brushing against the threshold and creating a delicate, fragrant breeze.

The woman at the head of the group had a captivating gaze, and the gold hairpin at her temple swayed gently with her soft smile. The girls behind her held round fans that partially obscured their faces, and they exuded a rich fragrance.

Oh my, this is so good... I love it!

"Young master, take a look, is there anything you like?"

"I like it, I like it! Oh, Xiaoyu, get the tickets!" Ji Yingying's spoiled and arrogant demeanor made everyone around her doubt whether she was even a girl.

He's exactly like a male playboy.

Ji Jiayu was also stunned. His sister really did look like a peacock. It seemed that his mother hadn't disciplined her enough.

[Host, I like that white dress, it's so pretty!]

【I like that one too, oh my!】

The madam took the money and smiled even more broadly, then quickly ordered the girls to come and serve her.

"Oh my, they are all so filial, taking such good care of Grandma. Oh my, I love them so much."

"Young Master!" Ji Jiayu shouted, and two girls tried to get close to him to comfort him.

"Don't touch him. How dare a mere guard touch my songstress? All of you, get out of here and let me have some fun."

"Young Master." Ji Jiayu wanted to curse, but before she could finish speaking, Ji Yingying thought to herself: [I really want these people to leave! Especially my second brother, he's about to get married, how can he touch these people?]

The next second, Rong Yi pulled him out, leaving only Rong Yi, Magistrate Li, and Ji Jiayu standing at the door.

Ji Yingying was the only one inside the house; the others were standing outside the door, and their teasing voices were quite embarrassing.

"My sister... how could she be so good at this?" Ji Jiayu couldn't believe her ears. The filthy language and the laughing voice made Ji Jiayu blush.

Suddenly, some girls started shouting and screaming, and some even started crying; there were many noises.

The sound stopped shortly afterward.

"What's going on here?" Ji Jiayu didn't care about anything else at this moment and pushed the door open to go in.

"Little sister, little sister"

What are you shouting for? You're trying to call back my soul!

"Second brother, I know you're worried, but don't worry too much. I'm fine, nothing's wrong. They've all been drugged by my medicine." The girls were all unconscious on the bed, their clothes in disarray.

“Rong Yi, you and An Yi should search this brothel. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be many skeletons or people who have just died.”

“Magistrate Li, your son should be here too.”

Ji Yingying patted the chair next to her, inviting Ji Jiayu to sit down, and then took out a mini drone.

This is powered by solar energy, so there's no need to worry about running out of electricity. We just need to check the situation of this building, so we don't need the internet, since we don't need to upload data.

Ji Yingying checked each room one by one, not even sparing the lobby.

"My goodness, sister, this thing of yours is really useful. It shows everything clearly. But, sister, you can't look at such dirty things."

Every room was disgusting; they even had roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

【Brother is too naive. But it's alright, I'm a young girl too, I won't look.】 Then Ji Yingying let Magistrate Li look at it, and Magistrate Li was also terrified.

"Your Highness, this is my son, my son, sob sob..." Magistrate Li burst into tears. His son was so young, yet he was helping those people do such disgusting things.

"They'll be rescued," Ji Yingying reassured her before entering another room.

It looks like a study. This time, Ji Yingying is personally handling the work and drawing at the same time.

The house was drawn not long afterward.

"Rong Yi, go to this room. There should be an account book in this spot. Take it. Also, there should be many traps in this room, so be careful."

"yes"

"Rong Yi, my little bee will help you. If anyone gets close, I will notify you, and you can run immediately."

[It's a pity I don't have a cell phone; otherwise, I could have contacted them immediately.]

[Host, forget about it. Even a drone can't keep your supermarket running. From now on, you can only eat melons. Eat more to earn enough points to reopen the supermarket. Otherwise, you won't have a supermarket to use.]

[I had no idea this drone was so expensive. Not only does it cost money, but it also costs my points. I've used all my hard-earned points to solve cases. If it weren't for the high merit I accumulated this time, do you think I would have been willing to buy this crappy drone?]

Rong Yi set off, and Ji Yingying immediately monitored the surrounding scene to make sure no one approached. Fortunately, she knew where the trap was beforehand, otherwise, Rong Yi would have lost his life.

Upon receiving the ledger, Ji Yingying immediately began to read it. Magistrate Li was somewhat worried that Ji Yingying wouldn't understand it, but he dared not say much.

Good heavens, they were so greedy! They killed an entire village, the dikes were damaged, and instead of repairing them, they let the floodwaters wash away an entire village. Wait a minute, Jiangnan City isn't far from Fengcheng. The floodwaters that hit Fengcheng back then probably originated from Jiangnan City.

[Yes, I just received the melons. Here's what happened: It's from Da'an Village in Anmin County. There's a dike there, but it wasn't properly repaired, which is why the floodwaters rushed down and damaged the dike in Fengcheng, causing heavy losses to Fengcheng.]

[These bastards! These people not only prey on the people, but they also treat human life so cruelly. They're worse than animals! I'm so angry!]

[I feel like I need to investigate.]

[Okay, do you know who replaced this county magistrate?]

[I don't know.] Just as Ji Yingying was about to lose her temper, An Yi returned with Magistrate Li's child.

The moment Magistrate Li saw the child, he cried just like the child.

Li Yingyi, the son of Magistrate Li, had red eyes and asked, "Are you my father?"

"It's me, it's me, sob, son, I'm so sorry, I've been locked up."

“I knew that the person in the yamen wasn’t my father. Father, Mother is gone. Those people killed Mother. Mother was pregnant with her younger sister.”

"What? Waaah..."

"Alright, stop crying, stop being sad. Once we get our revenge, you can be as sad as you want. Little brother, what are you doing here?"

"I was sold into this country."

“I guessed that was the case. An Yi, take him to a safe place and let him out after this is over. Now we have physical evidence, and we need witness testimony as well.”

We have to silence the gossip.

"yes"

"Send someone to protect him."

After making the arrangements, Ji Yingying yawned and said to everyone, "Let's take a nap. These girls won't wake up. They're going out to play tomorrow."

She sent the group outside to rest, while she turned her attention back to the girls.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Ji Jiayu stopped her when she saw her trying to pull off the girls' clothes.
