It was obviously a cheerful sound of gongs and drums, but as soon as the sound came, the entire Jiangjiazhuang was silent, many people's doors were closed, and timid boys and girls were crying bitterly.

The whole village was in a mess, and the chickens and dogs barked, as if the peace and tranquility had been lost all of a sudden.

Through the kitchen window, Hongchen saw Gu Shi jumping out of the house with a rub, not even wearing shoes, his hair was scattered, his face was pale, and he was trembling.

"Why did you come to our village?"

"Didn't you just choose the spirit boy and spirit girl the year before last?"

"We haven't chosen Jiangjiazhuang before!"

There was a faint sound of small arguments not far away, and there was an indescribable anxiety in the voice.

Frowning slightly, Hongchen couldn't come back to his senses at first, and it took a long time to react, this is a divine weapon in the palace, and the blood sacrifice of the spirit boy and spirit girl is to be chosen.

In the previous life, since the new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, such things as blood sacrifices of living people have been abolished, and since then she has finally not heard the cries of those children, so she didn't think of this for a while.

But it can be sure that Jiangjiazhuang has never been out before!

Hongchen lived to be more than ten years old back then, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as a blood sacrifice, why has it changed now?

Instinctively, she remembered the kidnapping in the name of buying people!

When she entered Beijing, as soon as she returned to Xia's house, she found that she had been sold to Qing and Lou, which was already well known.

Jiangjiazhuang is such a small place, and Jincheng is not big, how can those big people in the capital pay attention to this kind of thing? Someone has to add fuel to the fire.

At that time, he was still young, and he didn't doubt it much, but when he married Wang Yue later, he suffered several losses, and he gradually began to suspect Jiang Chan, and the more he looked at her, the more suspicious he became.

She may have known that she was not the daughter of the Xia family, and she had been trying to find a way to never return to the Xia family, even if she could go back, she would ruin her reputation.

After suffering a lot of losses, I can always understand something!

She was sold by the Gu family at the beginning, and she sold so smoothly, I am afraid that Jiang Chan's woman is indispensable.

It's just that this time it didn't work, maybe Jiang Chan had another trick.

Choosing people to sacrifice, the Xia family never felt the need for live sacrifices, but the Great Zhou Dynasty had such a custom for a hundred years, and the Xia family couldn't manage it.

But now Jiang Chan is the daughter of the Xia family, and if she wants to influence the candidate, it will only be a hint, and no one will not give her face.

It's just that she must not dare to show traces, and really say something by name, this is where the vitality lies!

Hongchen stood calmly in the courtyard, and his heart was depressed for a long time.

It has always been like this, the time, place, and people are all on Jiang Chan, but in this life, she doesn't want to play with Jiang Chan.

She wanted to see if she could live as smoothly as she had in her previous life after the skin of the Xia family was peeled off this time.

Not long after, there was a team wearing a dark robe in the village, it was the envoy of the palace, Hao Hao Tang Tang came, the leader held a compass, rode a tall horse, and chanted words.

The whole village fell silent.

The team gently and skillfully stopped in front of the Jiang family's courtyard!

Suddenly, a number of people sighed.

Gu's feet softened, staggered, and then turned his head to stare at Hongchen who walked out of the kitchen, and suddenly settled down.

Hongchen also glanced at the convoy that came, but he was startled, lowered his head suddenly, and then thought that no one knew her yet, so he exhaled lightly.

It's just, how did this person come?

The young man in brocade clothes riding a horse next to the convoy is the disciple of the Xia family, Shi Feng.

Studying under the Great Elder, although he is not surnamed Xia, his status in the Xia family is not lower than that of his own son, and even Xia Shijie never dares to put on a stand in front of him.

Since this person is here, Hongchen squinted his eyes, gently grasped the dagger that was carefully pinned to his waist, and felt it tremble slightly.

It's a good thing that this person is here!

At least he is there, and he is more sure that he can get out of the way and not be a Rausch spirit girl.

After thinking about it, the palace envoy got out of the car, chanted a holy decree, and said loudly: "Your family chooses, don't you thank God?" ”

At this time, Jiang Zhuang just hurried back from outside, and as soon as he came back, he heard that his family had been selected, and his face changed color.

"Impossible!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone else was startled, and Gu Shi was even more frightened, his lips turned blue, and he rushed over and hugged Jiang Zhuang: "The one in charge can't contradict the palace envoy." ”

In the past, there was a family that was reluctant to have children and refused to send people away, but they didn't have the money to do something to ransom people, and it was a big trouble, although it didn't ruin the family, but the children were not saved, and the family was sent to the frontier, and I don't know if I can live.

That's right, although there is a blood sacrifice, but if you choose a rich family, there are also people who take money to ransom people.

If you pay the money, when you are sacrificed, the spirit master in the palace will write a name charm, and then smear it with blood, you can replace yourself and escape with your life!

Of course, the starting price is at least 3,000 taels of silver, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to make up the whole family if they sell it all.

Nowadays, most of the children in the family have many children, and it is common for a few to die young, and few of the poor people have to redeem them.

The palace envoy is well-informed, and he doesn't know how much he has seen this kind of thing, so he doesn't care about it, but he just smiled and said: "It's lucky to be selected to serve the god grandmother, don't cry and wipe the earth, okay, your family will invite the spirit boy and spirit girl yourself, clean up and go on the road." ”

Gu Shi slammed the red dust forward.

"This is my daughter, and I ask the palace envoy to take care of one or two."

Hongchen staggered, lowered his head and did not speak, his eyes slightly red.

Jiang Zhuang gritted his teeth, but he also knew that his family would never be able to come up with enough money to ransom people.

Gu tried his best to protect Jiang Yi behind him, not allowing him to look out, his voice was urgent, it was as bad as a male duck calling, staring at Hongchen and said: "Okay, you go quickly, don't be a demon, it's not easy for the palace envoy to take a trip, you should be obedient!" ”

Hongchen sighed, walked out, knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Zhuang.

"Dad, my daughter is leaving, there are some things that shouldn't have been said, but if you don't say it again, you won't have a chance in the future, and you can't let your father be in the dark."

Her voice was crisp, with a hint of admiration, and anyone could see that she was full of affection for her father.

Many people in the village shed tears.

"A long time ago, I knew that I was not my mother's daughter, when my daughter was still in infancy, my mother switched places with my own daughter, and I was the child of a lady who passed by here back then."

In a word, all the surrounding villagers were dumbfounded, including Jiang Zhuang, and they all turned back to look at the Gu family.

Gu Shi staggered back in fright and shouted sharply, "How do you know? No, no, you're talking nonsense, nonsense! ”

Originally, there were still people who didn't believe it, thinking that Hongchen was angry in his heart and didn't want to admit his relatives, but when he saw Gu's reaction, they all believed it.

Hongchen's voice was still calm and quiet.

"A while ago, my daughter inexplicably passed the art of face-to-face, and it can be seen that I have no relationship with you and my mother, and I heard what my mother said in my dream, so I knew everything, but my father and mother raised me more motherly, and the kindness was greater than the grace of life, and today I went for Brother Yi, even if I repay the kindness, from now on, I don't know if my father and mother can agree?"

Gu Shi opened his throat and roared: "You are my daughter, what does it matter!" ”

The family of the person who chooses the spirit boy and the spirit girl can be compensated with a hundred taels of silver!
