Chapter 88 Chickens are so cute, can we not eat chicken?

"What?"

The people all stared wide-eyed.

Even outright robbery wouldn't be this blatant.

"Someone come here."

Just then, Wei Shuyu pointed at the young man who was fighting over the chicken: "Take him down!"

Whoosh...

Not only did they steal the chicken, but they also arrested people?

The people all looked at each other with resentment, but dared not say anything.

"Sir...you can have the chicken, I don't want it anymore," the young man said fearfully.

"I don't mind if you give me a chicken."

Wei Shuyu smiled and asked, "But is this chicken yours?"

"It...it's mine," the young man stubbornly insisted.

"He won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River." Wei Shuyu shook his head and began to explain: "Chickens will peck at people, and even their owners are no exception."

"Did you know that a chicken pecks its owner less forcefully than it pecks a stranger?"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the people.

Many people looked like they suddenly understood.

"The chicken didn't peck me very hard just now."

The young man glanced at the hen that had been beaten weak and listless by Choi Shin-ki, and began to argue again.

"Fine, you've succeeded in your sophistry."

Wei Shuyu smiled nonchalantly again: "But you've overlooked one thing: chickens can bristle!"

"Everyone saw how the chicken was caught. As soon as a stranger gets close to the chicken, the chicken will bristle."

“But when the owner approaches, the chickens rarely exhibit this behavior.”

"So……"

Wei Shuyu looked at the young man: "Do you still want to try?"

Swish.

The young people have finally changed their tune.

Even though the chicken was drooping its head, he still clung to the one in ten thousand chance.

"It won't get angry at me!"

"The chicken is just wilted, not dead," Wei Shuyu said with a smile. "Refusing to confess is an even greater offense. Have you thought it through..."

"I..." Fear began to spread in the young man's heart.

The people are already pointing fingers at him.

Many families raise chickens.

Therefore, we have some understanding of the habits of chickens.

After hearing Wei Shuyu's explanation, it seems to make sense.

"Little Jiji..."

Wei Shuyu shouted.

"I understand."

Choi Shin-ki agreed and eagerly placed the chicken in the young man's arms.

Seeing the chicken half-dead, he kept poking at its head, muttering to himself...

"Are you going to explode or not? If you don't, I'll beat you up."

"..."

The onlookers were stunned.

Do all the children of important people have this level of intelligence?

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his hand: "What are you doing?"

"Hey, didn't you ask me to prove whether chickens can't bristle?"

Choi Shin-ki covered his head in grievance.

"..."

Wei Shuyu smacked the chicken on the head again: "Chickens can't talk, what's the point of hitting them?"

"Then why do you call me that?"

Wei Shuyu pointed at the young man...

"Chickens can't talk, but people can."

Choi Shin-ki's eyes lit up.

I'm an expert at extracting confessions through torture.

Crackle, crackle.

Choi Shin-ki gave the young man a good beating.

“Shenji, I’m here to help you!” Fang Yi’ai retorted, not to be outdone.

That's too brutal...

The onlookers covered their eyes.

But Wei Shuyu gave an explanation, and since it was two children who did it, they couldn't feel any disgust.

On the contrary, I think that young man deserved it.

"Stop...stop hitting me, I'll confess." The young man finally gave in.

Everything then proceeded smoothly.

They were handed over directly to the yamen runners for processing.

"How much is your chicken? I'll buy it."

Seeing the hen that Choi Shin-ki had tormented half to death, Wei Shuyu had no choice but to buy it...

Perfect timing to have a snack with lunch.

After dealing with the chicken issue, Wei Shuyu led about ten constables to Niujia Village.

Along the way.

"Big brother, chickens are so cute, can we not eat them?"

Choi Shin-ki held a hen in his arms, stroking its feathers every now and then.

*Smack*

Without Wei Shuyu even lifting a finger, Fang Yi'ai would just go up and smash his head.

"You piece of trash, how dare you hit me?"

As soon as the hen was dropped, Choi Shin-ki chased after it, howling.

Wei Shuyu glanced at the hen on the ground.

So, do you actually have any feelings for this chicken?

Seeing this, the quick-witted constable swiftly picked up the chicken and held it in his arms...

Given the current situation, this chicken is more valuable than them.

At least before they become food, chickens are more valuable than their counterparts.

We traveled for a while.

The group finally arrived at Niujia Village...

There were many idle people at the entrance of the village. These people walked steadily and had sharp eyes, and they looked like they were skilled in martial arts.

Li Shimin had already sent men to take control of the entire village yesterday.

Only entry is permitted; exit is not.

"Big brother, what are we doing here?" Choi Shin-ki was a little confused as he didn't know anything about the Imperial Seal.

"Looking for treasure," Wei Shuyu replied casually.

baby?

I'm also good at this.

When the villagers of Niujia Village saw the yamen runners, their eyes were filled with fear, and they all shrank back into their houses.

Wei Shuyu ignored him and went straight to Ling Jing's former residence.

Creak.

Opening the gate to the courtyard, the scene that greeted him made him frown.

Ling Jing made a living by carving inscriptions, so there were many stone tablets in his courtyard.

At this moment, all of these stone tablets have been smashed to pieces.

Even the inscriptions on the stone tablet are no longer legible...

This presented him with considerable obstacles in his search for the imperial seal.

He knew that Li Shimin's men must have already copied the text on the stone tablet.

"We've been robbed?"

Fang Yi'ai pushed open the door to the house.

The room was also in a mess, having been searched countless times.

"..."

Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless.

Wasn't I supposed to attract attention?

Your search was so violent.

I'm not attracting anything...

Forget it, I won't investigate anymore.

Whatever.

"Little Jiji, boil water, kill the chicken, pluck its feathers..." Wei Shuyu shouted.

Inside the courtyard, the yamen runners tidied up a bit...

Choi Shin-ki and Bang Yi-ae, blade in hand, began to carefully examine the chicken...

"Remains, when killing a chicken, shouldn't you bleed it first?"

“That’s right, I’ve seen the cook at home kill someone like that. He just cuts them in the neck.”

“You have experience, you do it!” Choi Shin-ki handed over the knife.

"Your penis, come here."

"I can't do it, you do it."

"I have OCD, you come here."

Just then, a bailiff stepped forward with a fawning smile: "Young masters, I know how to kill a chicken."

"Get lost." Choi Shin-ki glared at him. "Do you think you, an outsider, have the right to touch my penis?"

"..."

Seeing that the two of them wouldn't stop, Wei Shuyu snatched the knife and slashed it across the chicken's neck.

Then he handed the chicken to Choi Shin-ki: "Lie it upside down and drain the blood."

Choi Shin-ki subconsciously took it, and then subconsciously handed it to Fang Yi-ai.

Swoosh.

Fang Yi'ai took off running.

He's a germaphobe; how could he possibly accept this kind of work?

Choi Shin-ki then looked at the bailiffs...

"Young Master Shenji, can I move your penis?" the constable replied tremblingly.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you a chicken bone later."

Choi Shin-ki handed the hen directly to the yamen runner.

Smoke curls up from the chimneys.

Just as the group was happily roasting the chicken.

A noise came from outside the courtyard...
