[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

Two months after arriving in Babylon, the popularity of the glass shop was at its peak.

At this moment, Yi Nan got the result she wanted——

On this day, a royal official in black robes came to Yinan's shop with a dozen guards, with the purpose of "handing over the ownership".

"Miss Ishtar of Uruk, your elder sister complained to the king that you passed her inheritance of parents' inheritance. Now the king's ceremonial officer has reviewed all the documents."

"Now, I officially inform you that when Lord Yelta of Uruk and Lady Xerxes of Eridu passed away, both you and your sister were unmarried daughters."

"According to the principle of inheritance of property by the elders, my sister should inherit all the property of Lord Yelta of Uruk and Lady Xerxes of Eridu."

"Because you didn't report the funeral, Lingjie didn't know about it, so she couldn't go to Uruk to inherit it in time."

"Your behavior is quite disgraceful, but since you committed the first crime at a young age, you will not be held accountable. All property under your name, including real estate in Babylon and the suburbs of Uruk; property outside Babylon and the suburbs of Uruk Tianzhuang, all transferred to Lingjie's name, effective today."

Before Yi Nan could speak, the housekeeper Bo An spoke first: "Master Rites, is there a mistake?"

"Missy married to Babylon ten years ago, and her uncle's name is Gu Jialana, who is also an attendant of the royal palace... When the young lady married in the royal city, Bo An personally accompanied her to send the wedding, as evidenced by the dowry and marriage certificate. "

"Before the master and wife passed away, the old slave sent someone to Babylon to report the news. Miss Ishta naturally inherited the property left by the master and wife, and the inheritance documents were sent to Babylon for record——no one at that time If there is even the slightest dissent, why is it all reversed today?"

In a hurry, Bo An grabbed a few words from the ceremony official. The royal ceremony official probably felt that his face couldn't hold back, so he blushed and asked: "You said, there are dowry and marriage certificates as evidence. Where are these documents?"

Bo An suddenly got stuck, and murmured: "These are all left in the hands of the eldest lady!"

When people in the Kingdom of Babylon get married, they must have a "marriage certificate"-this marriage certificate is actually equivalent to a contract.The contract stipulates which family is which, and they discuss with each other to decide the marriage: how much dowry the woman will bring, how many Amotu people will marry as dowry...all will be recorded in the marriage book or dowry document.

After all, when the children inherit the property in the future, only the woman's biological children are eligible to inherit the woman's property.

In order to avoid disputes in the future, the parents of both parties will make this matter clear in the "marriage contract" early on.

Like Miss Aligal marrying a Mushchinu, it is equivalent to a class change, and the marriage certificate is even more necessary, and must be filed with the government——

Thinking of this, Bo An suddenly said loudly: "That's right, Missy's marriage certificate was officially filed, and you officials have all read it—how could you deny it? You are saying that with your eyes open. nonsense……"

"Bold!" The official of the Wang family opened his eyes wide, "How dare you despise the authority of the king, the king's guard, and why don't you drag this raving Valdu down and beat him up?"

Immediately, two wolf-like guards came towards Bo An—but they were no match for Yi Nan.

Before touching Boan, Yi Nan had already thrown everyone aside with one hand; before the two guards could figure out what was going on, they were already in the air, and then they landed on their backs. "Alas".

"My lord, what are you doing with a Valdu who has the same knowledge?"

Yinan smiled and looked at the ceremony officer.

"My housekeeper just casually said some gossip. Do you deserve to be so angry?"

Upon hearing this, the royal court officer decided that even the rightful lord had bowed his head, and there was really nothing to worry about. He temporarily let Bo An go, and said to Yi Nan, "Miss Ishta, since this is the case, we don't want to make things difficult for you. We just come here to inform you. Let me tell you, your property has been officially registered for transfer, and now it all belongs to Miss Aligar..."

Yi Nan stuck out his tongue: Good guy!

It turns out that the operation of the black box is so simple, you can just change the official records directly, and you don't need your consent at all.

"All your real estate belongs to Ms. Aligal. All Waldu and Amotu who were originally under your name must now be loyal to Miss Aligal."

"To be honest, there is nothing to hand over. After all, the levels of property rights have all been changed by the authorities. We just came here to inform you that you can leave now."

Yi Nan looked at the royal court official in front of him, and suddenly let out a "puchi" laugh.

The ceremonial officer wearing a black robe suddenly blushed: at the request of Gugalana, he dismantled the couple into "unmarried men and unmarried women" without conscience, and then all the property under Ishtar's name Pass it to Aligal.

But if he had known that Gujialana's wife and sister were such outstanding beauties, he should have made a decision later——

The royal etiquette officer's mind was already full of thoughts: He should use these properties as bait to blackmail Ishtar and let her be his mistress, or simply marry him...if he can get a smooth divorce.

After all, it is not impossible for Mushchinu to climb up to the noble Avelu now: as long as he has money and power.Isn't Gujarana a good example?

"Let me tell you, Mr. Ritual Officer, you can go now!"

Yinan smiled and drove him and the royal guards out.

The ceremony officer woke up from the peachy daydreams in his head: "What? This officer is here to carry out the verdict that Lingjie inherited the complaint. Miss Ishta, you must leave immediately!"

The corners of Yinan's mouth raised even higher: "According to what you said, this shop and yard belong to my sister, right?"

"Waldu and Amtu in the yard are also slaves under my sister's name, aren't they?"

"So now I'm living in my sister's property and using my sister's slaves. Do you think there's anything wrong with that?"

Courtesy officer: ...

He was choked quite a bit.

This is indeed the case, these properties were indeed judged by the royal family and were cut off to Aligar.

But the problems existing between the sisters can only be solved by the two sisters facing each other.Neither the ceremony officials nor the guards have the right to interfere.

So even if he came here to make a statement now, it only means that the royal family has recognized Aligal. As for whether Aligal dares to come and live in the future... that is another matter.

The ritual officer had no choice but to wave his hands angrily and leave with the guards.

After the ritual officer left, the atmosphere in the shop was very gloomy.

A Pu burst into tears beside Yi Nan, but Bo An fell to the ground, sighing frequently.

The rest of the craftsmen and slaves didn't know what to do.Abu was also there, seeing that the business couldn't continue, so he had to close the door, and he went outside the shop to meet the customers by himself.

"Miss Ishtar, don't worry!" said the two craftsmen, "We will never work for someone like Miss Aligal."

"We are Aveiro, free people, we can choose to leave the workshop."

"Miss Aligal will not be a wise workshop owner. We don't trust her and are unwilling to work for her."

The two craftsmen clenched their fists as they spoke.

To put it bluntly, the two craftsmen understood how Aligal dealt with her own sister, and they expected her to deal with a bloodless outsider more directly and without psychological burden.

Instead of working for such a master, it is better to leave early and find another way out.

Yi Nan sighed: "Unfortunately, your five-year long-term contract was signed by you and the workshop."

Regardless of whether the owner of the workshop is Aligar or Ishtar, this contract is valid.

When the two craftsmen heard this, they immediately lowered their heads in frustration.

"But I hope you can continue to work without being affected." Inan's melodious voice came from next to his ears.

"This craft does not belong to any 'master', it belongs to you."

When the two craftsmen heard this, their bodies shook slightly.

"You're not working for me, or my sister, you're working for yourself, you're constantly creating beautiful pieces of art, you're making the craft even better."

"But..." The tinker's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.He really wanted to say: Without Miss Ishtar, the workshop would still be as half-dead as before, and it would be impossible for them to get in touch with this unique craft.

"Shops and workshops may be very important in who owns them - but I have watched it grow to what it is today. I don't want it to be in the best of times, suddenly because of the dispute between my sister and me It stops moving forward."

Yi Nan clapped his hands together, and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys, I'll make the decision for you, and everyone will stay in the shop without any influence."

After appeasing the craftsman, Yi Nan turned to face Bo An: "As for you, you should be a little more troublesome. I have to find a way to make Aligar treat you well."

In the Kingdom of Babylon, serfs could not be reinstated as freedmen—and there was nothing she could do about it.

Bo An stomped his feet: "Miss, why are you still thinking about us!"

Apu also hugged Yinan's arm and cried.

Yi Nan: ...Why do you all feel that I am the one who has lost the most?

In this world, Miss Ishtar is a "noble Avell", and she just lost her property when encountering such a thing; while slaves may not be able to guarantee their life safety when they encounter harsh masters.

But the slaves were all mourning her loss.

"Ishtar—"

An erratic female voice came from the door of the shop.

The originally noisy shop suddenly became quiet.All eyes turned to the door - there stood a woman wearing a veil, who should have been let in by Abu.

Hearing this voice, Bo An immediately reached out to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, walked up to the woman, knelt down with a plop, and begged: "Miss, please let Miss Ishta go!"

This sound is like an introduction for the visitor: the veiled woman by the door is Miss Ishta's own sister, Miss Aligal.

There were not many people who knew Aligal, and everyone was dumbfounded at this moment, looking at her blankly.Only Bo An was lying on the ground alone, his shoulders moved, and there was a sobbing sound: "Master and Madam, I definitely don't want to see such a situation."

"Ishtar—"

The voice was still very erratic, "You are still the same as when you were a child, everyone dotes on you, loves you, and leaves good things to you... But I, I am an elder sister who needs to fulfill all responsibilities, but I have never gotten What……"

The woman removes her veil, revealing the face of a young woman.It's just that the face was so pale that it made her greased lips as red as blood.

Her eyes were also big and bright, but it was unknown whether it was because of worry or guilt, fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, and her eyes flickered from time to time.

"Arigal!" Yinan said nonchalantly, "Don't just stand there at the door, the ceremony officer just said that this is your home!"

Everyone who heard this was thinking: Miss Ishtar has this kind of ability. Even though the shop and the house have been confiscated, Miss Ishtar can still take it calmly, as if she was at her own home. .

In the end, Yinan and Aligal sat in the reception room of the mansion.

Ai Ai came in and asked a question, Yi Nan sent her to fetch fresh beer.Apu ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"I didn't expect that you would react like this." Aligal began to feel that she should be more anti-customer, seeing this younger sister who had just taken away all her property by herself, with a heartless look, Aligal I started to feel uncomfortable——

...is not as expected.

Yi Nan replied with a smile: "Yes, when you came in, you didn't see me crying and complaining, and you didn't see me ordering the craftsmen and serfs to oppose you - this made you feel 'cool'. Is it greatly discounted?"

...that was too vicious.Aligar thought to herself, but she was hit.

I couldn't see this little sister crying until she died like she was when she was a child, but she didn't have parents to comfort her, help her, and protect her... Aligar always felt that something was missing, something was wrong.

But Yinan stretched out his hand, gestured vigorously, and said, "After all, you paid a huge price to make this game: for this matter, you didn't even recognize the two children you had with your brother-in-law. Oh, such a big sacrifice, I didn't get it in exchange, I cried and knelt on the ground and begged you... Sister, don't you think it's not fun at all?"

Aligal suddenly changed his face: This was the most uncomfortable thing in her heart.

In order to seize the property, Aligal must deny her marriage to Gugalana.This means that they need to erase all traces of this marriage through their relationship.

Officially archived marriage certificates, dowry lists, real estate records jointly held by various husband and wife...all had to be stolen from the warehouse managed by the Babylonian royal court official and destroyed.

And the two children she and Gu Jialana had together are not born to her now.Instead, it was recorded in the name of the maid who followed her and married Gu Jialana together.

Aligal paid such a high price that he didn't even have the chance to watch his sister Ishtar cry in pain.

Aligar tried hard to recall the great benefits that the glass workshop could bring her, and forcibly suppressed the anger that had reached her throat.

"Since you are willing to accept your fate, it is also a good thing." Aligar's voice was flat, trying not to reveal her anger easily.

"When this matter subsides, I'll help you find a proper husband-in-law so that you can get married smoothly."

Even though Aligal said so, she still felt jealous when she saw the youthful and charming face in front of her and the para-suit that perfectly outlined the curves.

There are thousands of little claws in my heart, scratching desperately-I really don't want to see my sister's face that makes the world upside down, and her body that is so good that there are no flaws.

"I'm sorry, sister, I won't let you worry about me so much."

Yi Nan smiled at her: "I have already inquired about it, and then I will go to the 'Seven Doors of Justice'."

"'Seven Doors of Justice'?" Aligar heard, his face changed just like Herod did that day, becoming pale, and then turned blood red again.She was shaking with anger.

"If you go to the 'Seven Doors of Justice', I will never recognize you as a sister!" Aligal suddenly yelled at Yinan.

Yi Nan blinked at her: "But you didn't recognize me as a sister, did you?"

If the farm and workshop in Uruk never improve, Aligar should let this sister stay in Uruk forever to fend for herself.

However, why did Ergar, like Herod, turn pale with fright when he heard the words "Seven Doors of Justice"... no, but furious?

Aligar was indeed mad.As soon as she raised her hand, her long nails grabbed Yi Nan's face.

"Before you go to that shameful place to make a fool of yourself, let me scratch your face that blinds all the men in the world..."

She struck very ruthlessly and accurately, hoping to see three or four long bloodstains on her younger sister's face.Unexpectedly, after my sister moved away, her face still looked like an egg that had just been peeled off its shell, with no blemishes visible.

"What is embarrassment, big sister, please explain clearly!" Yinan asked loudly, her thirst for knowledge was very strong.

Unexpectedly, Aligal refused to chat nonsense with her at all, and stretched out his hand to continue. Yi Nan didn't dare to be careless in the face of this crazy woman, and ran away with her face covered - she was mainly afraid that she couldn't help but fight back and would directly kill the other party. Get down.

At the same time, she became more and more curious about the "Seven Doors of Justice".

Everyone in the courtyard saw the pair of sisters, one was chasing and the other was running away.Boan mustered up his courage, and risked his arm being cut by Aligal, went up to stop Aligal with all his strength.

Yi Nan took this opportunity to rush out of the shop outside the house.

She saw a person standing outside the shop—a man in black.

Herod, the official of the royal family, was standing across the street at this moment, looking at her in a state of distress, with uncontrollable pain in his eyes.

After Herod heard that Uruk's sisters' complaint about the seizure of their property had come to fruition, he came to the door of the glass shop in a strange way.

When he came, his colleagues who were also wearing black robes had just left with the guards.Herod only saw a group of dark figures from behind, and these shadows were particularly dazzling.

This was originally the black robe he was proud of!

—and now it is so filthy.

He remembered that day at the hotel, those small snow-white hands were holding his front, and those watery eyes were looking at him sincerely. She asked him: Isn't justice something that should be upheld by you people?

He was speechless, and at this moment, there was a fire burning fiercely in his heart, gradually burning all over his body.

It's just that these emotions don't show on his face at all - no matter how angry he is in his heart, he's still used to being that calm official of the royal family, looking at the world and all beings in front of him with the eyes of Gujing Wubo.

Not long after, a woman in palladium came to the glass shop without anyone else. Herod recognized that she was the wife of his colleague Gugalana.

He was very clear: the colleague who had just left knew about the marriage of Gujialana - but these were nothing compared to the benefits and "love"...

He finally realized that in the face of desire for profit, human beings are no different from animals that crave food and act on instinct.

Just opposite the glass shop Herod stood like a statue--until Miss Ishta rushed out of the shop in a panic and came straight to him.

There was noise and female voices cursing in the shop, followed by the sound of smashing utensils, and the angry shouting and questioning of the craftsmen.

You don't need to think about it, you know who is domineering there.

At this moment, Miss Ishta was standing in front of him, and there was a hint of laughter in those bright eyes.

She seemed to be asking him: Is this the justice you are guarding solemnly?

Herod felt the pressure.

He felt like something had rolled over his head and shoulders, crushing from head to toe what he had believed in and thought he had held on to before.

At this moment, he suddenly took a step forward, opened his arms, and stretched out his arms to embrace the woman in front of him. He covered her with his black robe, wrapped her around her, and tried his best to shield her from the wind and rain.

At this moment, the cold-blooded young man who was originally calm, thoughtful, and quiet, collapsed to the point that there was not even a scum left.

He felt the wild rush of anger and suspicion inside him, but his movements were gentle, trying to make her feel warm.His hand stretched out from the black robe, holding her hand, he whispered in her ear softly:

"Go, follow me!"

"Starting today, I will protect you."

Eligal broke free from the artisans and slaves who came up to dissuade her, and with a bead curtain, rushed out to pull back her disgraceful sister in the street, but she saw this scene.

"Herod...it turned out to be Herod..."

Something gnawed in Aligal's heart, but he refused to let go.

She seems to have returned to the time when she was young again - as long as the young little sister cries, someone will take care of her.

In the past, it was the parents, the housekeeper Boan, the nanny... Now it was actually Herod.
