Chapter 3059

Qin Wuyan's expression still showed no joy or anger, but he glanced down the high platform.

Chu Chuyan stood in front of the two children, ready to snatch the children from the guards at any time.

Mo Siyu glanced under the high platform, and recognized this person as the country gentleman from a decent family who came in behind her, because the moccasin shoes on his feet were particularly precious when most people were still wearing straw sandals .

The squire knelt on the ground, followed by a dozen ordinary people who seemed to be well-dressed and touched the ground with their heads.

Weeping one by one: "I beg the high priest to make the decision for us."

Qin Wuyan didn't say a word, but raised his eyes coldly, and stared at the city lord.

The city lord became angry with embarrassment: "What are you doing, the sacrifice is about to begin, don't disturb the sacrifice."

Qin Wuyan said softly: "Don't be in a hurry, let them talk about it, and let this priest be the master for them."

The city lord was very anxious: "High Priest, if you miss the time... I mean, I am afraid that the river god will blame you, it will be bad..."

"This priest is the one chosen by heaven. Could it be that the master can't even do this?" Qin Wuyan said indifferently.

The city lord knelt on the ground with a "plop", "I didn't mean that, everything is up to the high priest."

Qin Wuyan leaned on the grand master's chair and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me straight!"

The squire wept bitterly, his voice mournful, "The boy sacrificed today is my child, and according to his birth date, it should not have been my child sacrificed in the first place.

Just because I didn't give enough what the city lord wanted, the city lord asked me to sacrifice the only son of nine generations...

High Priest, please be clear, my son's birth date is not a sunny year, a sunny year, a sunny day..."

Mo Siyu understood: the children selected for this sacrificial ceremony also have requirements for their birthdays.

The high priest's face turned red: "You are talking nonsense and spitting blood, the high priest will not believe your random biting..."

For the sake of his son, the squire went all out: "In our family, there is indeed a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation. It was my great-grandfather's grandfather who became an imperial cook in the palace. The jade ruyi awarded by the royal family...

The city lord wanted me to exchange Yu Ruyi for my son, but I thought my son didn't meet the requirements for sacrifice at all, so I didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the next day, my child was taken away by the guards of the city lord's house..."

Before he could finish speaking, the dozen or so people who knelt down with the squire also condemned the city lord one after another, telling what happened to them that they used the family treasures to save their children.

And some qualified children were clearly selected, so that their children would not be used as sacrifices, they went to buy children from poor families to replace their own children as sacrifices...

When those poor people heard these words, one by one seemed to touch the heartstrings, and they burst into tears.

The family is too poor. Instead of letting the children starve to death, it is better to exchange one child for money and raise the rest of the children.

The city lord was flustered for a moment. He had done this before and never had any accidents. He didn't expect this humble squire to go all out for his nine-generation single-bearer boy, and secretly gathered more than a dozen ordinary people who had suffered similar experiences. .

The city lord knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Wuyan: "High Priest, you must never listen to what these people say, they are all nonsense, these people are all speechless.

I sacrifice to the river god every year according to the tradition, and I have never done such a thing. "

Qin Wuyan raised his eyelids, looked at the two children who were crying silently, "Is this boy really the only heir of the nine generations?"

City Lord: "This..."
