Chapter 483
A young woman next to her, perhaps her daughter-in-law, asked in a low voice, "Mother, do you think the imperial court will increase the grain tax this year? It can't be raised any more. If our family doesn't have the child's father going to the city to do some chores, I'm afraid I can't even fill my stomach."

The old lady also sighed, "We live near the capital, so life is better. I don't know how many people died when Jinhe was diverted. Let's take it easy, maybe it will be all right soon. God is the most merciful, always You can’t just watch everyone die.”

"Mother is right. Tomorrow I will buy some incense candles to burn incense for Grandma the Mountain God. Her old man must bless this year with good weather and good weather, and the family, big and small, will be safe and sound."

The young daughter-in-law is virtuous and eloquent, and the old lady who coaxes her with a few words is also smiling.

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking with sleepiness, but they didn't know that the merciful God in their hearts had hardened their hearts at this moment.

On the main road outside the village, a dozen or so fast horses ran from nowhere, and immediately sat down with the bodyguards of the knife, all of them were vicious.

Because many willow trees were planted in the village in the early years, it is now shaded and shaded, and it is the most loved by the villagers.Lying under a tree blowing the wind and taking a nap is the most comfortable.

At this moment, when they heard the sound of horseshoes, countless young and old woke up, rubbing their eyes and wondering who was riding a horse at such a time.

Before they could see the appearance of the person coming, the cavalry had already approached, and the leading knight waved his hand after patrolling the crowd for a while.

The young daughters-in-law doing needlework subconsciously hugged their shoulders, and the men also quickly blocked their own daughters-in-law behind them.

But those knights who jumped off ran to the mats of each house unexpectedly, stretched out their hands and grabbed a half-grown child and left!

Grab the child!

Everyone was so shocked that they didn't make a sound for a long time. After all, it was mother and child.The young daughters-in-law were the first to throw away their needles and threads and go to drag their children, but they were kicked back by the knight.

"Give me back my son, give it back to me!"

The women screamed heart-piercingly, completely bringing the stunned crowd back to their senses.

"stop!"

"Who are you, return my son!"

"My grandson! Come on, someone robbed the child, robbed the child!"

The crowd was in chaos, surrounded by the horse team, trying to snatch their children back.But those cavalrymen got on their horses, whipped the crowd away with a few whips, and walked away.

The seven or eight children were sleeping soundly, and in their dreams they were still gnawing chicken legs and eating snacks, but they didn't expect to see their parents getting farther and farther away when they opened their eyes, so they finally screamed in panic.

"Mother, woo woo, mother!"

"Dad, Daddy!"

The group of fathers and mothers who were left far behind the horse went crazy and stumbled to catch up.

"Dog!"

"Ermao!"

"Fat girl!"

The peaceful back of the house was completely broken by such an accident.

Soon the whole village knew the news that the children should not be snatched. Even animals have the instinct to protect their cubs, let alone humans.

Whose children are not the flesh and blood, whose children are not the same as the eyes.

Everyone in the village counts one by one, carrying a shoulder pole, sickle, and even a fire stick, and set off with the Lizhenghe clan elders.

Those knights were ostentatious, and they were followed by villagers running wildly and crying loudly, so the movement was naturally not small.

Soon, news spread across ten miles and eight villages. Although they didn't know where the lunatics came from to catch the children, the women still shrieked and stuffed a few ignorant and dangerous children into the cellar. Sent to a hunting hut in the mountains to escape.

For a time, almost every household was panicked, not knowing what to do.

The men gathered together and felt that they should go to support the folks who lost their children.

Pro or not, the hometown.With a strip of water, they are all folks who can't see up and down. At such a time, anyone who can help has to help.

The courageous woman couldn't bear the curiosity and anger, and followed the man all the way to the place where the cavalry disappeared.

At this moment, on the official road ten miles away from the capital city, a wooden frame was erected at some point, which was a full three feet high and short.There was a row of ten large open-mouthed clay pots hanging on the shelf. I don't know what was in the pots. There was a faint cry, which made the passing cars, horses and pedestrians stop and watch.

But the soldiers arbitrarily expelled everyone, and no one was allowed to approach.

The person who was originally sitting in the carriage couldn't help getting out of the carriage, and before he could ask questions, he saw dozens of villagers running up to him.I don't know what happened to them, but they all looked panic-stricken.Some men ran away and lost their shoes, and some women didn't even bother to pay attention to the fact that their clothes were torn.

Everyone was even more curious, but they heard those women screaming loudly before they had time to catch their breath, "You son of a bitch!"'

"Fat girl, mother is here, where are you?"

The men were already looking for the guards who caught the children with red eyes, but the woman's voice just fell to the ground.The pot hanging on the wooden frame shook violently, and the child's crying echoed shrilly!
"mother!"

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

"Father, I want to go home, I'm afraid!"

Afraid of getting their heads on the pot, they waved their little hands desperately, seeing that the pot was about to turn over.Once the side is too far, the mouth of the can is flushed down, and the child will fall down and break his legs, and even his brain will burst.

All the people present were worried, their eyes almost popped out, "Ah, be careful!"

Looking at those villagers, they were even more crazy and wanted to run forward to catch the children, but soldiers with whips in their hands had already come over, and they raised their hands indiscriminately and whipped them hard.

"Why are you shouting? If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

A group of villagers were so angry that their eyes were tearing apart, and they endured the whipping and wanted to charge forward, but the soldiers beat more and more fiercely, and they still cursed, "I'm just borrowing your bastards, why cry? Let's keep making trouble, cut the rope directly, and send your cubs to see King Yama!"

While talking, there really was a thin and thin soldier who climbed up the wooden frame like a monkey, the dagger in his mouth was sharp, and he looked like a sharp guy. Wood is a breeze.

The men pulled their wives to death, for fear that the soldiers would really cut the rope.

The women cried so softly that they fell to the ground and howled miserably, "Oh, God, open your eyes, the little lady burns incense and kowtows, why did my child suffer such a crime!"

"Whoa, hang me up, put my son down! Son!"

The women were like she-wolves who had lost their cubs, and the sound of howling was heard far away, making everyone in the audience feel sympathetic.

Soon, folks from all villages also arrived, and when they saw the crying children on the shelf, they were all shocked and speechless.Even if there is a bloody feud, it is rare for a wife and child to be harmed. Why is this hanging the child in the jar in broad daylight?Could it be that he intends to throw the child to death? It's really wicked and cruel!

"Who the hell is this? This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"

"That's right, the city defense patrol, why didn't anyone come over to see?"

However, some discerning people saw the identities of those soldiers and guards, and warned in a low voice, "Be careful, this is from the Prince's Mansion!"

"What, prince?"

"What is the prince doing with the child?"

The soldiers refused to explain, and swung the whips in their hands happily, leaving their hands to stop the crowd, and then they turned their heads and gathered together to look at the jars on the wooden stand with a smile.Occasionally, those with bad intentions would kick a few times, which made the clay pots on the shelf dangle even more.

The children were terrified and cried even harder, as if they could fall off at any time.A woman who was timid and cared about her child fainted immediately.

The men held the children's mothers in their arms, and listened to the children's cries. If the eyes could become the tips of knives, they would have chopped those soldiers into pieces, chewed them and swallowed them!

Just like this, another team of people came along the official road.In front of the team were cavalry in black armor, roughly looking at about 200 people, and the half behind also rode horses, but their clothes were different.

But no matter how different their clothes are, these people are all dusty, with a little tired look on their faces.

Needless to say, this is Gong Zhiming and his party.

Yuchi Hui's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the road ahead from a distance surrounded by people and said, "General, the last general sent someone to ask what happened?"

"Go," Gong Zhiming nodded, and raised his hand to make a gesture. Everyone gradually slowed down, controlling the horses below them to pace slowly.

Yuchi regretted worrying about others, and personally led a young man from Wenshui City to inquire.

Xu said that the young man could speak Wenshui dialect so that the villagers' defenses were dispelled, and soon the two got the news and ran back.

After Yu Chihui frowned and reported, he said in a low voice, "General, why am I thinking that this matter is aimed at us!"

At this moment, the horse team was not far away from the crowd. Gong Zhiming raised his eyes and glanced at the pots swaying in the wind. Hearing those faint cries, a cold look flashed across his eyes.

Regardless of whether this matter is aimed at him or not, he cannot stand by.No matter how great the hatred is, children can't be used as bargaining chips. People who come up with such vicious ideas are either extremely vicious or extremely arrogant!

Before, everyone was thirsty and hot all the way, and they were still a little dazed. Now they also found that the jars hanging on the shelf were actually filled with children, so they all cursed angrily, "Isn't this the capital of Dayue? Why is it in broad daylight?" Is there such a thing as cruelty to children?"

"That's right, in such a hot weather, even if the child doesn't fall off, something will happen after half a day in the sun!"

"Is there no one to take care of it? If this happened in our capital, a few veterans would beat them up and go to see Hades."

"That's right. Could it be that the customs are different, praying for rain?"

The cavalrymen from Donghao talked a lot, and some curious ones asked their companions in Wenshui City, but they found that it was not the case at all.

Of course, a group of villagers and passers-by also discovered the army.But at this time, the lives of ten children are at stake, so how can I have the thought to distribute it to these weird visitors?

But they don't care, but it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't care.

On the opposite official road, the luxurious carriage that had been parked in the shade by the side of the road suddenly moved.
