Everything then went quite smoothly. Under pressure from powerful figures, the officials and constables acted swiftly, pulling along their hunting dogs to track down which gang the beggar children belonged to.
They searched for everyday items and clothing, heading towards a corner of Qingmang City, west of the city's easternmost part, the site of a tragic incident in the past.
Yin Liujiao played a crucial role in this, guiding the officials to the area with the help of some clever trainees, and they quickly discovered the beggar children who had kidnapped people.
However, everyone who found the scene had a black face, and some even vomited, including the parents of the victims.
Of the ten kidnapped people, four boys had their genitals mangled and their mouths full of filth and excrement. Their skin was torn open like clothes, and pieces of wood and stones were stuffed into their wounds.
The three girls were in an even worse state. When they were found, they were being played with by several filthy beggar boys. The bruises on their bodies were minor injuries, while the more serious ones had their breasts torn and their hands and feet twisted and their tendons pulled out.
The horrific scenes were too numerous to describe. The only fortunate thing was that the city defense captain's child only had his hair pulled out, his body covered with purple and blue marks from being pinched, and a few small cuts from sharp objects.
The only lucky ones were a man and a woman, who were unharmed but looked terrified, their faces were pale, and they could speak without making a sound.

"Kill me all you want, I don't care anyway! I'm a worthless person! I deserve to die! Hahaha! If you're so capable, wipe out the gang that ruined me! Kill the person who ordered me to do this!"
Ah Yi's back was completely broken, but he still lived, looking at those important figures, at those parents who had fainted, and at those who wished they could chop him up with a knife.
Ah Yi smiled, then stared intently at the grim-faced people present, his gaze lingering on the armored figure before finally grinning and dying.
"My lord! He's dead!"
The inspectors immediately reported their findings, while the armored man, holding his child, suppressed his anger.
"Save him! Even if you can't save him, rip his brains out! I want to see who dares to be so bold!"
Meanwhile, Yin Liujiao, who should have been a hero among the crowd, sensed something was wrong, because he seemed to be the most enthusiastic and the one who benefited the most.
