Brave the world of self-cultivation with the aura of Jack Su

Chapter 42
When that video was released, some people were in disbelief, while others averted their eyes.

Those who pretend to be robbers and commit crimes are not acquaintances in their village.

Kneeling next to the county magistrate now, no one is caught wrong
The county magistrate asked the people around him: "It says in the picture stone that you still have living sacrifices? I don't know, but it's true? Where is the village chief? Come out and answer."

The gray-haired old man walked out tremblingly on crutches.

"My lord, the grass people are here."

How could he have imagined that the weak-looking woman would directly move the county magistrate here. In their dilapidated place, they hide from the world all the year round, and there are few foreigners, let alone the imperial court.

The county magistrate said sharply: "I think you are old, so I won't let you kneel down, but you have to tell the truth, is there a living person offering sacrifices here! If you are honest, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict, and if you lie, you will not Blame me for serving with a stick!"

The village chief could still show some majesty in front of the villagers of his own village, but he immediately lost his dignity in front of the county magistrate.

Not only is the other party justified in name, but he also has the help of a cultivator around him, so he simply can't make money.

He lowered his head, panicking in his heart, trying to find a way to get rid of the crime.

"My lord! We are forced to do this! Everyone in our village has to eat to survive!" The old man knelt tremblingly, with old tears streaming down his face.

"Our place is too barren, and it is difficult to feed the crops. Our ancestors kept offering sacrifices to survive. Later, it became a tradition. I also want to protect the village left by my ancestors."

Many surrounding villagers nodded their heads in agreement.

The county magistrate was not easy to fool, he accused angrily: "It's ignorant and cruel!"

"One person a year, ten years, twenty years, how many people are you going to kill! What's more, there are evil deeds like slaughtering other villages. It is simply lawless and inhumane."

"Who came up with the idea of ​​massacring the village this time, and who has done such a thing before? The whistleblower can reduce the crime as appropriate. This is your last chance to reduce the crime." The middle-aged man in official uniform said to Looking at the many young and middle-aged men kneeling next to him, he asked.

"My lord, this is all our own will, and it has nothing to do with other people!" The leading man shouted roughly.

"You fart! You and the village chief forced us to go!" A thin man scolded shyly, "If you didn't threaten to sacrifice our relatives in the future, we wouldn't be with you Go, and this is not the first time you have done this kind of thing, every few years, in addition to kidnapping women, you will also search for food!"

This time he was also obsessed with ghosts, and he didn't really make a big mistake, and there is still room for redemption.

Seeing someone stand up, the rest of the people also opened their mouths, hoping that their crimes would be mitigated.

The team that was originally not united was immediately split, one was a newcomer, the other was an old one, and the two teams complained to each other.

The village chief knelt beside him, his hands were shaking with anger, his face was livid, and his lips were trembling.

These people are going to punish him to death!

I have gained so many benefits from him, but in the end, when something happens, I shake him completely.

"Okay." After the debate between the two parties, the county magistrate has clearly understood the cause and effect.

They were originally a group of selfish mobs, so there was no need to bother, everything was revealed.

"Take all these people and the village chief away, I have already made up my mind." The county magistrate said to the yamen servant beside him.

A group of people were all sent to the airship, and what awaited them was a dark prison.

Liu Piaopiao stood beside the flying boat, and said to the rest of the villagers: "I forgot to tell you, you don't need to sacrifice in the future, because it's useless, your mountain god has been turned into a pile of ashes by me." Yes, it's just under the cliff over there."

When the villagers heard that the mountain god was gone, they couldn't help but become stunned.

The woman ignored the remaining people and sent the people on the flying boat back to the county government.

With the yamen servants and the prisoners, the whole courtyard seemed extremely crowded.

"I would like to thank the fairy for helping me today." The county magistrate cupped his hands.

Liu Piaopiao also replied in a similar way: "You are polite, I just sat on what a righteous person should do. If there is nothing to do next, I will leave first."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile: "Okay, then there will be no date, see you by fate."

Liu Piaopiao nodded, took away the flying boat, and returned to the village with the sword.

When the people on the road saw the woman, they seemed to have encountered some evil spirit, and they all ran away with disgust and fear on their faces.

Not long after they arrived in the village, the mountain god they relied on was gone, so many young and middle-aged people were gone, and the village chief was gone.

What will happen to the remaining old, weak, women and children next year?
The incense in the family is gone, and the people who carry on the family line are gone. There will be no future!

Liu Piaopiao didn't care about the eyes of the people around her.

She thinks she is not wrong and has a clear conscience, so there is no need to care about those people's eyes.

The rest is about taking Xiuzhu away.

There was thought on her face, and she was out of her mind along the way.

Regarding the matter of taking Pu Xiuzhu away but leaving her old mother behind, although she knew the best choice, she still felt vaguely inappropriate.

The main reason is that the old lady is not young, and she has no wife by her side. No matter how far away the daughter is, what should she do when she is too old to move?
You can't say wait to die, can you?Liu Piaopiao couldn't accept this, and always felt a little cruel.

But if you bring it with you, according to the temperament of the old woman who wants to take advantage of everything and use any means to gain benefits, you may make a fuss.

If you don't bring Xiuzhu, it won't work...

The mountain god is gone, many men in the village have been taken away, even the village chief is gone, there must be many people secretly resenting him.

If they can't take revenge on her, they will definitely find someone they can handle. Xiuzhu, who was pregnant before marriage, is definitely the first choice.

That is a brave and strong mother, but also a bold and forbearing woman, Liu Piaopiao can't just watch such a person go to the abyss of life.

After thinking for a while, Liu Piaopiao decided to hand over the right to choose to Xiuzhu Niang, and let her make her own choice.

The slender woman in white snapped her fingers, and immediately transformed into a fat, big-eared, mangy-faced member of staff.

That's still just a cover-up, but it's more than enough to confuse mortals.

She took out three paper figurines and threw them on the ground next to them, and immediately three boys with stiff expressions appeared.

The person who looked like an outsider, dressed brightly, led people in a small village with thatched cottages, followed by three obedient servants.

People passing by saw such a person in the village and started whispering again.

"Do you know where Park Xiuzhu's house is?" The fat man pulled a married woman and asked with a smile, looking very greasy and wretched.

The woman withdrew her arm in disgust and fear, pointing the way.

Her husband was taken away because of that slut, and she wished that that bitch would have bad luck from now on, preferably a bad death.

The fat man took his servant and searched in that direction with a satisfied face.

He happened to meet an old woman who was watching the excitement at the door, and he strode over: "Do you know which family Pu Xiuzhu's is from?"

Xiuzhu Niang asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"

The fat man took out the gold ingot from his sleeve, showed his gaping teeth with a smile, and said: "I ran into a robber when I went out to play. Xiuzhu and I shared weal and woe. At that time, I fell in love with her and wanted to escape from the birth day." I must marry her as my No.13 concubine, no, I came here specially to take her away, the bride price is not a problem."

Seeing the gold ingot, Niang Xiuzhu's eyes widened.

"Oh, so that's how it is. This is Xiuzhu's house, and I'm her mother." She greeted enthusiastically, "Quick, please come in!"

The old woman walked into the house quickly and began to shout at the top of her voice, "Xiuzhu, Xiuzhu! Someone is here to see you."

Hearing her voice, the delicate woman came out of the room in doubt, and said, "Mother, please keep your voice down, the child is asleep."

The old woman grabbed her arm regardless, and shouted: "Come with me, now there is a guest who needs you to treat him well, this is your great opportunity, our family's good days are coming! "

The old woman's eyes were shining with excitement.

Pu Xiuzhu was at a loss as to what opportunity and what a good day would make her mother so happy?
"Xiuzhu is here, let's have a good chat." The old woman pulled the delicate woman and led her outside to the fat man.

When Pu Xiuzhu saw a strange man approaching her, and her mother was so warm, like selling her daughter, she was so angry that she could hardly speak.

"Mom, I don't know him at all, what's there to talk about? And how can you just push me to a strange man? Isn't it polite? "

Most of the time, delicate women are relatively meek, and only when their emotions are intense, they will burst out, do things that they usually dare not do, and say things that they usually dare not say.

"What etiquette are you talking about? Are you worthy to talk to me about etiquette?" The old woman stared at her, and said with a bitter sarcasm: "You lose money, you have such an opportunity, and you still don't cherish it. Is it for nothing to raise me so big? Shouldn't you find a way to raise me well?"

If she can be a concubine of a rich family, she, as a mother, can eat and drink without worrying about food and clothing, and can wear gold and silver.

The fat man squeezed between the two of them, held the delicate woman's hand, blinked at her, and winked.

The moment Pu Xiuzhu was touched by her hand, she almost went crazy with anger. It wasn't until she saw the man wink at her that she found a sense of familiarity from him.

Liu Piaopiao played wildly: "Xiuzhu, it's me, didn't we meet bandits together before? Didn't you call someone to save me? I'm going to carry you in now, even though it's Room No.13 Concubine, but I will definitely treat you well."

The delicate woman pulled her hand away, and followed suit: "It's just one side, whoever wants to be your concubine, I already have a child!"

She didn't know what the fairy was going to do, so she could only follow the setting she gave and try to express her true self as much as possible.

When the old woman heard her daughter talk about children, she was very angry.

Such a good opportunity, her stupid daughter actually mentioned that bastard,
"As long as you don't care, I won't let that child bother you." She said to Liu Piaopiao sincerely.

Liu Piaopiao showed a once surprised expression: "Child?"

After pondering for a while, she said: "It's okay, if Xiuzhu wants to take it with her, then take it with her, our family is not short of that kind of food."

The old woman looked moved, and felt that she was about to be hit by a pie from the sky.

She doesn't care about raising that little bastard without a father, so it's best not to bother her.

"I came today just to take Xiuzhu away. I don't know if 60 taels of gold is enough?" Liu Piaopiao cast her eyes on the delicate woman beside her, pretending to be lewd, her covetousness is self-evident .

The old lady naturally knew what that look meant, that ugly man was just greedy for her daughter's body.

That's good, her daughter can get more money in exchange, it's worth it.

"60 taels of gold...I'm afraid it won't work?" She whispered, looking very embarrassed.

Liu Piaopiao withdrew her gaze, and laughed openly: "As much gift as you want, try to mention it, my house is far away from here, and it may not be convenient for Xiuzhu to come back in the future, so I will give you more, just as it is for her. Filial piety."

Although the words are nice, but what is the difference between such a request and selling a daughter?

The old woman's eyeballs flicked around, tentatively stretched out her finger, and said, "200 taels of gold?"

Liu Piaopiao took out ten gold ingots from her wide sleeves, and placed them neatly on the table next to her: "This is 200 taels of gold, from now on Xiuzhu will be my roommate."

The old woman carefully glanced outside the door to make sure there was no one there, and quickly put away the gold ingot.

"She is yours, you can take it away, if you have time, you can come and see me, don't forget to be filial." The first half of the sentence is what Xiuzhuniang said to Liu Piaopiao, and the second half is to Liu Piaopiao. The ugly-faced daughter beside him warned.

"By the way, is it convenient to ask where your home is? If I have time, I can also visit my daughter." The old woman said with a smile on her face. Order things from big families.

Liu Piaopiao held the delicate woman's hand and pulled her away exaggeratedly, looking extremely rude.

"If possible, I still hope you don't come here. The distance is too long and inconvenient, and our family is not very talkative. I'm afraid of hurting you." She said as she walked.

Xiuzhuniang's complexion changed, but after covering the gold in her bosom, she smacked her mouth and said nothing more.

This ending was completely predictable by Liu Piaopiao.

Even if it wasn't for her, a handsome woman who survived a catastrophe would be sold in this way.

It's just that she couldn't pass the test in her heart, and ended the relationship between mother and daughter in this way in advance.
