Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 298 Bloody Sacrifice
"Snapped!"

A loud slap hit Liao Jingxuan's face unexpectedly, his eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at his father in disbelief.

Liao Jingxuan was smart and eager to learn since he was a child. Although he couldn't practice, he could read and practice martial arts well. He is the most outstanding junior of the Liao family's generation.

As soon as he reached Ruoguan, he learned business management from his uncle and father, and participated in the affairs of the family as an assistant.

Because he is smart and sensible, since he was a child, he has never been said a harsh word by his elders, let alone beaten.

It was the first time in Liao Jingxuan's life that his father slapped him today.

Liao Zhongqing pointed at Liao Jingxuan's nose with trembling hands, and his distorted expression looked extremely ferocious: "You unfilial son! How dare you say such curses on my Liao family in front of me, do you think your wings are stiff? Do whatever you want ? Let me tell you, now I am in charge of the house, and I have to listen to everything. Even if you are my own son, if you dare to make trouble, I will still punish you!"

Liao Jingxuan stared blankly at his father's ferocious eyes, and he suddenly shouted hysterically: "You are clearly trying to escape! In fact, you know it in your heart, right? Why don't you show me the handwriting left by your ancestors? You use innocent children Sacrifice, our Liao family will suffer retribution sooner or later!"

Liao Zhongqing didn't expect that Liao Jingxuan would yell about this matter, he grabbed Liao Jingxuan's collar with all his strength, trying to strangle him so that he could not speak: "You...what are you yelling about, you are crazy!"

Liao Jingxuan ignored the stern warning in his father's eyes and the uncomfortable suffocation in his throat, and still yelled loudly: "The child is doing this for the good of the family. There is always a cycle of karma in the world. What the father does today will definitely lead to bad results in the future. The book says: sentient beings are afraid of consequences, gods are afraid of causes, fathers should not be greedy for short-term benefits, regardless of his remorse..."

Liao Zhongqing fixed Liao Jingxuan's eyes, and murmured: "Crazy, I think you are crazy...Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several black-clothed guards appeared beside him.

In front of the guards, Liao Zhongqing restrained his hysteria when facing Liao Jingxuan, and ordered in a cold voice: "The young master has been feeling unwell recently, and he often talks nonsense. He needs to rest in peace and recuperate. Take him back to his room. Don't let him out without my order." !"

"Yes!" The black-clothed guard stepped forward, put Liao Jingxuan's arms on both sides, and forcibly took him away.

Liao Jingxuan struggled all the way, but was firmly restrained by the black-clothed guards.

He watched his father walk away without looking back, his eyes full of despair.

According to Liao Zhongqing's instructions, the man in black locked Liao Jingxuan into the room where he lived, and locked all the doors and windows from the outside.

Liao Jingxuan beat on the door desperately, but there was always deathly silence outside the door.

Liao Jingxuan fell powerlessly to the ground, crying bitterly against the door panel.

He didn't expect to be under house arrest by his father.

He knew that his father would guard him against what he said to his father today, and he might not let him out before the autumn festival.

He remembered the scene he saw with his own eyes in the ancestral hall before the autumn festival last year, the pair of clear, innocent and pitiful eyes in the iron cage...

Liao Jingxuan still feels aching and stuffy when he thinks about those eyes. He is afraid that the same thing will happen again this year.He tried to persuade his father, hoping that his father would stop sacrifices for the future of the family.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that he himself was put under house arrest by his father.

He was suddenly very disappointed with his father, and even with the whole family...

Liao Jingxuan buried his face between his knees, his mind was in a mess when he suddenly heard a slight knock at the door.

He was good at martial arts and had good hearing, so he immediately heard someone fiddle with the latch outside.

Liao Jingxuan held his breath, his eyes fixed on the door panel.

Father should not calm down so quickly, mother has never dared to interfere with father's decision, grandmother has been unwell recently, and she has already rested at this time.

Who is it?
His father's guards must still be guarding not far away. He really can't think of anyone in this mansion who is so bold as to dare to open the door for him...

Just as he was feeling suspicious, the bolt outside the door fell to the ground with a "click", and the door slammed softly, opening a thin crack.

Liao Jingxuan stepped to the door, stretched out his hand and opened the door.

He stood in front of the door and looked around, the courtyard was silent, only the moonlight cast shadows on the ground, and there was no one at all.

Liao Jingxuan lowered his head and looked around the door, his eyes suddenly fixed on the stone steps at the door.

His courtyard is paved with water-milled square bricks, which is light gray during the day, and turns white when exposed to the moonlight at night, and is kept very clean by servants on weekdays.

At this moment, a string of small mud footprints remained on the whitened gray brick surface.

Liao Jingxuan squatted next to the string of small footprints to examine carefully, and stretched out his hand to measure the length of the footprints.

These are obviously children's footprints, and he can conclude that they are definitely not the footprints of children in the mansion. Judging from the degree of mud hanging here, the owner of this footprint must have walked a lot of muddy roads, and there is still a trail behind the footprints. Traces of mud and water.

The Liao Mansion has always been kept very clean. Both my mother and grandmother are obsessed with cleanliness, and they absolutely do not allow the servants in the mansion to be so sloppy.Even a child from a lower family would not trample their feet so dirty.

What's more, at this time, the middle door has already been locked, so it is impossible for the children of the servants to run around in the mansion, let alone dare to come into his yard.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to Liao Jingxuan's mind. He stood up abruptly, looked around, lowered his voice, and asked cautiously, "Is it you? Is it you? It was you who let me out! I was in the Changkangyuan saw you."

After Liao Jingxuan finished speaking, he looked around expectantly.

In the quiet courtyard, there is only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing the treetops...

Liao Jingxuan was a little disappointed, he looked back at his door, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

When his figure disappeared into the courtyard, a small figure walked out from the shadow of the trees in the corner, it was Mei Zongyuan.

The red-eyed dwarf still sat on his shoulder.

"Since you helped him out, why didn't you go out to see him when he was asking questions just now?" The dwarf asked with his head tilted in puzzlement.

Mei Zongyuan shook his head: "I saved him because he is a good man. Although he failed to save me, I know he has tried his best."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and sighed lowly: "I don't want him to see me, because that will only bring him more trouble. Ah Zhi, I'm really an unknown person, just like my mother said That way, whoever gets close to me will be unlucky."

Ah Zhi, who was sitting on his shoulder, stretched out his thin arms, and gently hugged Mei Zongyuan's head: "Xiao Yuan, you are fine, but they are not. You became like this to save me, you A very, very good man. Oh, yes, I just saw something coming to that man."

Mei Zongyuan raised his head immediately: "You mean Mr. Liao? What happened to him?"

Ah Zhi scratched his ears: "I saw a pretty young lady who was always pestering him..."
