Chapter 608: God helps those who save themselves

The official got off his horse and tumbled. Who in the world doesn't know the name of Princess Zhaoyang!

Such a remote mountain village, the princess is here!

The official immediately got off his horse and came to pay his respects: "Greetings to Princess Zhaoyang, the prince..."

Seeing Zhu Mo's imposing manner, he couldn't help but humbly said: "Who is this gentleman?"

Zhu Mo's face fell.

"Her follower..." Pointing at Lu Chaochao, he turned his head immediately.

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

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

The official looked puzzled. Why did a follower give a cold face? Asking would offend him?

The official immediately said: "I didn't know that the princess and the prince came, and I was sorry for not welcoming you. I will ask the county magistrate to come..."

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

"Don't bother the people in the city. I won't do much when I pass by here. Just do your work, don't bother me." Lu Chaochao had a cold face. Zhuifeng moved a chair and she lay on the chair leisurely.

The official thought about it. It was rumored that the princess fought for the rights of women in front of the whole court.

He didn't need to be partial, just act according to the law.

Soon, the official dragged out the family members who pretended to be a quota. The villagers who just ignored the law and discipline were now like a bereaved mother: "Princess, please save your life."

The official directly blocked their mouths: "According to the law, those who pretend to be will be rooted out. All accomplices will be punished with thirty canes."

"Execute in public."

"For the elderly, the son will bear the crime." This calculation shows that the ones who were beaten were all the old lady's precious life.

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit their mistakes. But the official was merciless and immediately had people escort them, two officials in a group, to execute in public.

"Papa... Papa..." The heavy wooden stick hit the man hard, and the man's screams echoed in his ears.

One after another, he couldn't even scream in the end.

The skin was torn and the blood was so thick that people dared not look directly at it.

The old man in the family slapped his thighs and cried, but there was nothing he could do.

Even the old lady of the Wang family who participated in the sale of quotas was caught. But she is already old and has no children. I'm afraid she can't stand three of the thirty strokes.

Old lady Wang cried on the spot: "My son just died, and my daughter-in-law took the blame. My daughter-in-law will be punished with thirty strokes."

Zhaodi moved slightly, but she shrank and trembled all over.

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

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

Lu Chaochao smiled: "Of course."

The field was filled with thick blood and sad cries. Zhaodi clenched her fists, trying not to show her shaking hands, and said in a serious voice: "Sir, I am her granddaughter. I am also the granddaughter who was replaced."

"My father killed several daughters with his own hands. He deserved his death."

"My mother was not originally from the village. She was abducted to the village and sold here!" Her mother had escaped several times at first, but was caught and beaten every time.

Later, giving birth to several daughters became a hindrance.

"I beg the magistrate to be clear-headed. My mother has not had a confinement after giving birth to my fifth sister. Thirty strokes of the cane will cost her life. Zhaodi is willing to be punished for her mother..." Zhaodi knelt on the ground and cried quietly. The accusations were shocking.

"You little bitch, you are as mean as your mother! That's your own father, what crime do you deserve!!" The old lady cursed, but she was blocked by the official before she could finish her words.

"He gave me my life, so what's wrong with him disposing of me? He is a loser who is blocking my grandson's way, and only if he is disposed of will he not dare to reincarnate into my family again. It's a pity that my son died without a son..." The old lady cried and cursed.

"Even if it was your Zhaodi's life, your father should have taken it. He gave it to me, and he took it away, what's wrong with that?"

"He just wanted a son to carry on the family line!"

The official became angrier as he listened: "You vicious woman, it is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but there are people like you who ignore the law!"

"If your son is not dead, he will definitely be beheaded at Caishikou."

The official's eyes fell on the skinny Zhaodi, and there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"Since your daughter-in-law was trafficked here and your son is dead, she is no longer a member of your family. You will be punished by the caning."

He looked at Zhaodi and the woman: "Tomorrow you will go to the government office to register your household again. Now you are no longer a wife of the Wang family."

The woman suddenly knelt on the ground and cried.

"If you want to find your family, you will be registered together tomorrow. We will try our best to find them, but we cannot guarantee whether we can find them." After all, there are so many people that no one can guarantee whether they can be found.

The woman cried so hard that she couldn't speak, as if she wanted to cry out her years of grievances.

Zhaodi knelt on the ground calmly and kowtowed several times: "Thank you, sir."

The official waved his hand, but he was also happy to hear: "I am not a sir, I am just working for the court."

"Sir, you are dedicated to the people, and you will definitely be promoted." Zhaodi had never been to school, and only occasionally heard a few words outside the private school. At this moment, she was cautiously saying good things.

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

A Wu secretly rolled his eyes, his disdain was evident.

He looked at Zhao Di with some admiration.

Nowadays, filial piety is the most important thing. If the little girl rashly went up to accuse the old lady, it might make the officials unhappy.

But she retreated to advance, which made the officials feel sympathetic.

In the future, they will have to take care of them mother and son.

"Execute." The official was not soft-hearted and ordered the execution immediately.

Thirty strokes of the cane were enough to kill her.

The sound of heavy wooden sticks echoed in the village all night. The whole village was pale, terrified, and crying.

"There is a ditch on the top of the mountain behind this village, called Baby Ditch." Lu Chaochao said lightly. Hearing this, the villagers felt weak all over and had goose bumps all over their bodies.

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

The official responded respectfully: "Come on, a few people, follow me to the back mountain to collect the bones. Tomorrow I will present it to the county magistrate and will definitely seek justice for the innocent people who died in vain."

He took five or six officials up the mountain without noticing the pale faces of the villagers.

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 for me? I have to go back to the city to ask the county magistrate!" He originally thought that the baby ditch was just a few baby corpses.

But when he really saw that scene, his blood froze, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

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

I'm afraid they were abandoned in the mountains as soon as they were born.

Some were bitten to death by wild beasts.

Some had their bones dug out alive, lying in the ditch and watching themselves die.

It made him feel cold all over.

Lu Chaochao nodded in response, and the official immediately rode back to the city.

Zhaodi looked at her with sparkling eyes: "I... I had a dream. In the dream, sister Pandi said that she met a noble and was named Yuzhen."

"Princess, Zhaodi also wants you to give me a name."

She has been waiting, waiting for the redemption her sister talked about.

She finally got her own hope. (End of this chapter)
