Chapter 608： God saves those who save themselves

The official got off his horse and crawled. Who in the world knows the name of Princess Zhaoyang!

In such a remote mountain village, the princess is actually here!

The officer immediately dismounted his horse and came over to say hello: "Greetings to Princess Zhaoyang, the Crown Prince..."

Seeing that Zhu Mo was full of dignity, he couldn't help but humbly asked: "Who is this master?"

Zhu Mo's face fell.

“She follows...” He pointed at Lu Chaochao and immediately turned his head.

Ah ah ah, I am the little prince of the Dragon Clan!

Why do you have to ask? Am I shameless? !

The official looked confused, what was a follower doing with such a look on his face? Did you offend him?

The official immediately said: "I don't know if the princess and the Crown Prince are coming so far away to welcome me. I will invite the county magistrate to come..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chaochao waved his hand gently.

"There is no need to disturb the people in the city. I won't do much to amuse myself when passing through here. You just go about your business and don't pay attention to me." Lu Chaochao had a cold face, Zhui Feng moved a chair, and she lay down leisurely. on the chair.

The officer thought about it and found out that it was rumored that girls’ education was a right that princesses fought for for girls in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

He does not need to be selfish, he just needs to act in accordance with the law.

Soon, the officials dragged out the family members who had pretended to be qualified. The villagers who seemed to be ignoring the law just now felt like they were mourning for their heirs: "Princess, please help me, princess."

The officer directly blocked their mouths: "According to the law, those who pretend to be impostors will have their roots cut off. An accomplice shall be punished with thirty rods."

“Execution in public.”

“If you are old, your son will bear the blame.” After all, those who were beaten were all the old lady’s vitals.

The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit their mistake. But the officer was merciless, and he was immediately escorted into a group of two officers to execute him in public.

“Papa…papa…” The heavy wooden stick hit him hard, and the man’s scream echoed in his ears.

One sound after another, until I couldn't even scream in the end.

The skin and flesh were torn apart from the beating, and it was so **** that people dared not look directly at him.

The old man at home was slapping his thighs and crying, but there was nothing he could do.

Even the old lady of the Wang family who was involved in selling quotas was caught. But she is old, has no children, and with thirty sticks, she may not be able to withstand three battles.

Mrs. Wang cried on the spot and said: "My son has just died, and my daughter-in-law will bear the blame. My daughter-in-law will receive thirty sticks."

Zhaodi moved slightly, but she was shivering and trembling all over.

Lu Chaochao patted her hand lightly: "Just do whatever you want. My mother is weak and there is no one in the family who can stand up... Someone has to stand up."

Zhaodi asked softly: "Can I?" There seemed to be light shining in her eyes.

Lu Chaochao smiled: "Of course."

The scene was filled with thick blood and sad cries. Zhao Di clenched her fists, trying not to show her trembling hands, and said solemnly: "Master Guan, I am her granddaughter. I am also the granddaughter who has been replaced."

“My father killed several of his daughters with his own hands, and he deserved his death.”

“My mother is not from the village. She was kidnapped and sold here!” Her mother escaped several times at first, but was caught every time, and each time she was beaten severely.

Later, the birth of several daughters became even more of a problem.

"I beg you to understand clearly. My mother has not been in confinement since she gave birth to her fifth sister. Thirty sticks will kill her. Zhao Di is willing to be punished for her mother..." Zhao Di knelt on the ground and cried quietly, accusing her one after another. It was shocking to hear.

"You little bitch, you are as mean as your mother! He is your own father, so he deserves it!" The old lady cursed loudly, but before she could say a few words, she was silenced by the official.

"He gave me life, what happened to him? He paid for it and blocked his grandson's way. Only after he has dealt with it will he dare not reincarnate in my house. It's a pity that my son died without a son and left..." the old lady cried and cursed angrily. .

"Even if you were to take the life of Zhao Di, your father should have taken it. What he gave you, he took it away. What's wrong with that?"

“He just wants a son to carry on the family line!”

The officer became angrier as he listened: "You poisonous woman, even though a tiger is poisonous, it cannot eat its seeds, yet there are people like you who ignore the law!"

"If your son had not died, he would have been beheaded at Caishikou." The official's eyes fell on the skinny Zhaodi, with a hint of compassion in his eyes.

"Since your daughter-in-law was kidnapped and your son is dead, she can no longer be counted as a member of your family. You will bear the punishment of the rod yourself."

He looked at Zhaodi and the woman: "Tomorrow you go to the government office to open a new account. Now you are no longer the wife of the royal family."

The woman suddenly fell to her knees and burst into tears.

"If you want to find your family, you can register them together tomorrow. We will try our best to search, but we cannot guarantee whether we can find them." After all, there is a huge sea of ​​people, and no one can guarantee whether they can be found.

The woman was crying so hard that she was speechless, as if she wanted to cry out the grievances she had suffered for many years.

Zhao Di calmly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you, sir."

The official waved his hand, but he was also happy to hear: "I am not a grown-up, I am just doing business for the court."

"If you serve the people wholeheartedly, you will definitely be promoted." Zhaodi never went to school and only occasionally heard a few words secretly outside the private school. At this moment, she was careful to say nice things.

Zhu Mo looked surprised: "I was shocked. I thought she was really going to take the blame for that old godly woman."

A Wu rolled his eyes secretly, his disgust evident in his expression.

Looking at Zhao Di with quite a bit of admiration.

Filial piety is paramount these days, and if the young girl rashly accuses the old lady, she may displease the official.

But she used retreat to advance, which actually made the officials feel compassionate.

In the future, they will not be able to take care of their mother and child.

"Execution." Officials would not be soft-hearted and would immediately order execution.

Thirty strokes of the rod were enough to kill her.

The sound of heavy wooden sticks rang in the village all night long. The whole village was pale, frightened, and filled with cries and howls.

“At the top of the mountain behind this village, there is a ditch called Baby Ditch.” Lu Chaochao said calmly. Upon hearing this, the villagers felt weak and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Since birth, it is a life. Naturally, it must be dealt with according to the laws of Beizhao..."

The official responded respectfully: "Come with a few people and come with me to the back mountain to collect the bones for burial. They will be presented to the county magistrate tomorrow. We will definitely seek justice for the innocent people who died in vain."

He went up the mountain with five or six officials, but he didn't notice the pale faces of the villagers at all.

After a while, the official stumbled down the mountain with a horrified look on his face.

There was a bit of panic in his eyes, and then he knelt on the ground and said: "Princess Zhaoyang, can you please supervise this place on your behalf? I need to go back to the city to ask for the county magistrate!" He originally thought that the baby trench was just a few baby bones.

But when he really saw that scene, the blood all over his body froze, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the sky.

In the ditch, countless white bones were piled up, and the pale and cold bones were covered with the teeth marks of wild beasts.

I'm afraid that he was abandoned in the mountains right after he was born.

Some were bitten alive by wild beasts and died.

Some had their bones dug out and lay in ditches watching themselves die.

It made him feel cold all over.

Lu Chaochao nodded in agreement, and the official immediately galloped back to the city on horseback.

Zhao Di looked at her with bright eyes: "I...I had a dream. In the dream, Sister Pandi said that she met a noble man and named her Yuzhen."

“Princess, Zhaodi also wants to ask you to give me a name.”

She has been waiting, waiting for the redemption her sister said.

She finally had her own hope. (End of chapter)
