Liao Yihuan laughed, lowered his head and kissed An Ge'er on the face.

"But I don't know how good this little guy is, you see how good-looking he is. She pinched the flesh in the little guy's hand and teased: "Xiao Ziyan, when my aunt's little sister is born, my aunt will give it to you as a daughter-in-law, okay?"

Brother An'er danced with his hands and screamed in his mouth.

Feng Qiao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Liao Yihuan's unreliable words, while Guo Qin and Xiao Jinyu, who had just walked to the door, were laughing.

"I said Master, you just sold your daughter like this, does my master know about it? Besides, how do you know that you are pregnant with a daughter, and you have promised him to Brother An now, what if you go back and have a son?"

Xiao Jinyu smiled and walked in with Guo Qin.

Compared with the weak posture of three years ago, Xiao Jinyu has grown into a Lang Lang young man, he is wearing a white brocade robe, and his smile is sunny, no more than his elder brothers who have already become adults, Xiao Jinyu's eyes are less gloomy and calculating, and the whole person is full of vitality.

Feng Qiao hurriedly hugged Brother An and got up and saluted: "I've seen the Nine Emperors." Fu looked at Guo Qin again: "Brother Guo." ”

Xiao Jinyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Qiao: "Hurry up, there are no outsiders here, what are you doing with this ceremony?"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. ”

Feng Qiao didn't stalemate with him, he directly hugged An Ge'er and got up and said: "Now that you have entered the court, it is not as wanton as before, no matter how good you are in private, you must fulfill the etiquette on the surface, so as not to become the handle of others." ”

Xiao Jinyu looked at Feng Qiao's appearance of hugging Brother An to avoid him, and his eyes darkened.

He knew what Feng Qiao meant, and he also knew how difficult it would be for him to walk after he chose this path, although Feng Qiao's father and daughter had never said anything to him, but he knew why Feng Qiao chose him in the first place, and he himself had that mind when he lived in the palace in the past few years.

He can deal with all the troubles, and he is willing to face any crisis, but there is only one thing, he doesn't want to be separated from the girl in front of him.

Xiao Jinyu looked sideways at Feng Qiao's white cheeks, swallowed his thoughts and said with a smile: "I know, I won't do this to other people." ”

Feng Qiao nodded.

Guo Qin on the other end didn't notice Xiao Jinyu's expression, he just laughed and walked up to Feng Qiao and stretched out his hand to the little guy in her arms: "Brother An, uncle, hug." ”

The little guy bit his fingers and tilted his head to look at Guo Qin for a while, but then turned his head and plunged directly into Feng Qiao's arms, his head arched, and he held his butt directly to Guo Qin.

Liao Yihuan laughed, this little color embryo.

Guo Qin angrily stretched out his hand and pulled Brother An out and hugged him into his arms, then pinched his cheek and said: "You little conscienceless, my uncle will send you things every once in a while, and now I won't hug you anymore, and I will throw you outside to feed the wolves." ”

"Ahhhh

The little one babbled, as if in reply to his words.

Guo Qin touched him with his scum, the little guy was pierced and giggled, and then unceremoniously slapped his face.

Feng Qiao walked aside and poured tea for the two of them, and then asked, "Didn't Brother Guo go to Taixu County, when did he come back, why did he come with His Highness?"

At the beginning of last year, Guo Qin had already entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to run an errand, although he was not very old, but because of Feng Qizhou's support, coupled with his steady personality and flexibility in officialdom, he was already able to take charge of himself in just over a year.

Guo Qin wiped his face with his sleeve: "Taixu's affairs over there have been completed, and I just happened to be in a hurry to return to Beijing today, thinking that today is the day of Brother An'er's first birthday, so I came over directly." As for His Royal Highness the Nine, we met outside the door, and we came in together by the way. ”

Feng Qiao didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, but Liao Yihuan asked curiously: "Brother Guo, you went to Taixu this time for the sake of the human sacrifice that happened over there before?"

Two months ago, when Yin Shi Weifang returned to his hometown with his wife and children to worship his ancestors, he passed by Taixu, because he did not notice that his son was abducted and disappeared for a while, and when he found his whereabouts, he found that his son was replaced by the son of a peasant family in Taixu and became a sacrifice to the river god.

When the two rushed away, the son of the Shi family, who was only eight years old at the time, had already died in the river, Mrs. Shi almost cried blind, and Shi Weifang cried blood.

When the matter was reported back to the DPRK, everyone was shocked, and Guo Qin was the one who went to Taixu to investigate the matter this time.

Guo Qin nodded: "It's for this." ”

"Is there really a human sacrifice?" Liao Yihuan's eyes widened.

Guo Qin gently tilted An Ge'er in his arms with a calm look: "Yes, and there is more than one." ”

"There have been several years of sacrifice over there, but when most families were selected for their children, they bought more slaves, but this time there was a poor family among the chosen people, and that person had no money to buy slaves, and he met Shi Gongzi who was lonely, so he had a bad idea and took her away to exchange the life of his son......"

Guo Qin was talking about what he had found out in Taixu, as if he had seen the situation again.

When they found the woman who had abducted the son of the Shi family, the man kept kowtowing to her son and begging for mercy, saying that she just wanted to protect her own child, just to protect her own incense, and that look so natural that she was even justified, as if she didn't feel at all how much sin she had borne by killing an innocent child.

When Guo Qin saw Shi Weifang and his wife, Shi Weifang, who was only thirty years old, had gray hair, and when Mrs. Shi knew why her son died, the person who valued the rules the most in the past pounced on the woman and bit the woman, and kept screaming for her child, and his expression was so crazy that it made people cry.

Liao Yihuan listened to Guo Qin talk about what happened after he went to Taixu, and his face turned red angrily: "How can this be true, they can't give up their own children, they can give up other people's, their own children are treasures, and other people's deserve to die?"

How cruel is the sacrifice of life.

If those people don't want their children to die, they can run away, they can resist, they can use any other means to save their children, but if they rob other people's children like this and die for their sons, how can they live in peace and bear the name of mother's love?

An eight-year-old child who didn't understand anything died at the hands of such a foolish person.

Feng Qiao also frowned when he heard this: "Isn't there any government to take care of this matter?"

The people are ignorant, is it possible that even the people in the government are fools?

The matter of life sacrifice is against the harmony of heaven and is more likely to arouse the anger of the people, but if the people in the official government have a little brain, they should know that they must not condone this matter, otherwise once this matter spreads, the court may not hold the people accountable to those people, but it will never tolerate the local parents and officials.
