Chapter 609： Overnight trial

“Jade beads.”

"How do you call me Yuzhu?" Lu Chaochao tilted his head and looked at her with a smile.

The skinny girl's eyes burst out with bright and dazzling light, and her eyes were watery, as if filled with tears: "Okay, my sister's name is Yuzhen, and my name is Yuzhu."

Sounds like a girl surrounded by happiness.

She didn't like her original name.

Zhaodi, Zhaodi, that name all shows how miserable she was when she was born. No one welcomed her and looked forward to her birth.

At night, the official messenger invited the county magistrate here overnight.

Lu Chaochao had already returned to his room to rest. The county magistrate greeted him outside the door and kowtowed before leading the people up the mountain.

The whole village was under strict guard.

Nowadays, men have a higher status than women, and it is an indisputable fact that women rely on men for their lives.

But Beizhao also has relevant laws. The parents can decide whether the fetus will live or die while it is still in the womb.

If you are born and become a baby, it is a life.

Parents cannot take away life at will.

The county magistrate was sweating profusely as he climbed the mountain. He kept raising his hands to wipe away the sweat, feeling very anxious in his heart.

Hateful in my heart, I gritted my teeth.

He came to this remote town to be the county magistrate because he had no backing or money.

Now that the Women's School has been established, he only needs to work hard to get this done, and he is expected to leave here. What a coincidence, such a big thing happened at a critical moment!

“Sir, the baby ditch has arrived.”

As soon as we climbed to the top of the mountain, we saw a lot of faint green light appearing in the darkness. The officials drew their swords one after another and protected Magistrate Zhou.

“Sir, there are a lot of abandoned babies here. Over time, many wolves have gathered...”

It sounds extremely cruel, the baby was torn to pieces alive.

Fortunately, there were many people, and the wolves were quickly driven away.

When Magistrate Zhou came, the official had already informed him of the reason. But when he actually stood in front of the infant ditch, under the light of torches, he saw countless small skeletons, which shocked his heart.

The face of Magistrate Zhou was so cold that it burned his bones.

Whether it was the mountain of corpses or his official career, it was undoubtedly a major blow.

Under his jurisdiction, so many innocent lives were lost, and Princess Zhaoyang even caught him...

Magistrate Zhou almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "A thorough investigation! We will be in the village tonight to investigate this matter thoroughly! We must find out the results before the princess leaves!"

He was so angry that his eyes were red.

Although he cares about his official career, he still has a conscience. It is a dereliction of duty for him to have such appalling things happen within his jurisdiction.

"These bones?" The officer couldn't bear to look at them any longer. The bones were so small, just one, that it made people cry.

There were already people secretly wiping away tears all around.

“It is said that tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their seeds, but there are such cruel and cruel parents...” If word spreads, the reputation of the entire town of Pingguan Town will be damaged.

"Control them all, and be sure to find the remains of these poor children."

“Look for another opportunity to bury again.”

Official Lin almost nodded, but sighed: "I'm afraid we can't even find all the bones." They were still young, and the wolves would eat them separately, so there probably wouldn't be much left.

The county magistrate Zhou also understood, but he had no other choice.

“Master, please keep an eye on the people below, while Lao Lin collects the bones from above. I will go down to examine the case!” Magistrate Zhou’s face was as cold as frost, and his face was gloomy and ugly.

Late in the night, the village is noisy and brightly lit.

The wailing and begging for mercy continued to make a commotion.

Lu Chaochao fell into a drowsy sleep, only to feel the noise. He covered his head with the brocade quilt and huddled inside with his **** sticking out. After a while, he heard the little guy snoring in his sleep.

There was a subtle ripple in the house, and the young man flicked his fingers to set up a barrier in the house.

Lu Chaochao fell into a deep sleep in an instant. The young man seemed to sigh helplessly, and took the little girl out of the quilt with his slender hands. Seeing that her cheeks were already flushed with pain, she didn't even open her eyes...

Can’t help but laugh.

He placed two heavy boxes of gold and silver beside the bed, and then they turned into blue smoke and dissipated.

The second day.

At dawn, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Yuzhu held a wooden board with both hands. There were some farm snacks on the board, which was steaming.

Yuzhu's clothes were shabby, but they were washed clean and still smelled like sunshine.

She stayed up all night last night, packing things and clothes with her mother at home.

Having just finished his work and before he had time to rest, he made breakfast for his benefactor.

Before cooking, I washed up in a hurry.

She knows that the nobles in the capital love to be clean.

 Yuzhu knew that the princess didn’t mind it, but she wanted to make the princess happy. At this moment, when she saw the fierce Zhu Mo coming to open the door, Yuzhu said tremblingly: "Princess, have you gotten up? This is our local specialty..."

It was meat that my mother secretly bought with private money last night.

When Zhu Mo saw her, his face softened slightly: "Please come in, the princess is about to get up."

Yuzhu nodded, feeling that all the maids in the house were dressed more luxuriously than the ladies in the town.

She didn't wear the clothes the princess gave her last night.

She was afraid that her rough skin would scratch her clothes, so she wanted to wait until she entered school before wearing them.

Before Lu Chaochao opened his eyes, he smelled the domineering fragrance in the air.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was almost blinded.

The bedside was decorated with gold and silver, and Lu Chaochao jumped out of bed without putting on his shoes or socks.

"Wow... it melted out so quickly?" She held a pile of gold ingots and took a big bite. It wasn't until my teeth ached that I let it go with satisfaction.

"Now, within five years, women will not have to worry about studying!" As for five years later, as long as women rise up, it will be able to function naturally.

but…

Although Lu Chaochao was a lawless person who did everything he wanted, the graves of his courtiers were dug up this time because of the cause and effect.

She looked up at the sky: "Why don't you come out to see me? There's no point in hiding from me..."

“You have to admit your mistakes eventually.”

“I know you can hear me.”

The young man’s muffled voice came from the sky: “Oh.”

Lu Chaochao summoned Zhui Fengxing: "You have these two boxes of gold sent back to the capital, and let your mother distribute it to the girls' schools. Let the girls' schools ensure basic operation..." The pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all produced by the girls' schools. Students only need to work in exchange for food.

As for the things for practice, there are many things in the space that can be used by beginners, so there is no need to worry.

Chai Feng responded and went out carrying the box.

Outside the door, Yuzhu came in holding a tray.

Lu Chaochao didn't like to serve, so he simply took Yuzhu to eat with her. Yuzhu was nervous, but when she saw that Lu Chaochao had no airs and was instead as innocent as an ordinary child, she gradually relaxed.

“How old are you?” Lu Chaochao asked Yuzhu.

Yuzhu made a sign of eight.

Lu Chaochao widened his eyes: "Eight years old? You are older than me..." To the naked eye, the two of them were about the same height, but Chaochao...



 Yuzhu nodded shyly. She was hungry and full at home. No, she had never been full. She was not even as high as the stove, so she stepped on a stool to do her work. Her biological father loved gambling and drinking. If she didn't do that, then her mother would.

She is naturally shorter than her peers. From the looks of it, she is about the same size as Lu Chaochao who was five and a half years old. (End of chapter)
