Peng Xiuwen glanced at Qi Lingqiao in surprise, "I didn't expect the young lady to know about this, that's right, the group of sacrificed children will get some food from the Flower Snake Clan afterwards, and a child will get a stone of grain."

And the tax of this group will also be reduced by half in that year, and the more children sacrificed, the more taxes will be reduced, and the tax can be reduced by up to 30% of the entire race.

There are not many places where Qi can produce grain, and compared with the population of Qi country, it is even more stretched, so Qi country will exchange jade and other special products in other countries for food every year, and food can be used better than money in Qi country.

Moreover, the taxes collected by the state are all collected by one ethnic group, and half of the tax paid by an ethnic group is not a small number, and the food saved is enough for the ethnic group to raise several children.

Therefore, although the group that was taken away by the Flower Snake Clan hated the Flower Snake Clan, they basically did not resist, because if they did not resist, they could get food and reduce taxes, so that the entire group would not have a hard time this year.

On the contrary, if you resist, half of the entire clan will be killed, and the other half who survives will also be enslaved, and you will be enslaved for eternity, never turning over. ”

Jiang Sun Che frowned, he knew that there had indeed been a living sacrifice in history, but he didn't expect that this damn system also existed in this world.

As for why he hasn't heard of this thing for so long after coming to this world, it should be because this kind of thing is too cruel, and everyone doesn't want to mention it casually.

"Then ...... you," Jiang Miaoyu asked a little unbearable.

"My parents don't want me to be taken away, but my Zhengfeng clan is only a small clan of sixty-seven people, there are not many children, and I am the only one of the same age, if they let me go, when I am sixteen, the clan will ......

They hesitated until I was fifteen, and they had to decide, even if they didn't want to make a decision anymore.

They decided to be selfish for once, and they wept and sent me out of the group, and at that time, I only thought about my own life, and I didn't think about what would happen if I escaped. Peng Xiuwen trembled.

Jiang Sunche and the others did not ask about the final fate of the Zhengfeng clan, because Peng Xiuwen had already said just now, kill half of them, and the other half will forever become a slave and will not change for eternity.

He looked at Peng Xiuwen, whose eyes were red, and didn't know what to say.

"I've always been afraid to return to the clan, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the clansmen are blaming me, blaming me for killing half of my clansmen, blaming me for letting the living clansmen fall into slavery......" Peng Xiuwen, a man more than two meters tall, silently shed tears in the darkness of the cave.

"It's not your fault, you just want to live, it's those flower snake clans to blame." Jiang Sun Che said sharply.

Peng Xiuwen was silent and did not answer, and there was silence in the cave.

"After a long time, I can't help but go back to the clan, I want to see my parents, I want to see the people, see how they are doing, I also want to go back to atone, I guess they will hate me, scold me, and even kill me.

Indeed, as I thought, when the people saw me, they beat me so badly that I thought they would kill me, but they didn't, and let me go.

They said, "Your life was bought by your parents and half of your tribe, and you must live well for your dead parents and your people...... That's when I learned that my parents had committed suicide in front of the patriarch after I left. Peng Xiuwen couldn't hold back any longer, hugging his head and crying.

After a long time, Peng Xiuwen's emotions calmed down, he pulled his sleeve and wiped two handfuls of tears, and forced a smile, "The story is over, I'm going to rest." ”

After saying everything, he was in a better mood, not as depressed as before, and turned sideways, trying to hide his still throbbing heart, not expecting Jiang Sunche to help him at all.

Because after Peng Xiuwen finished telling the story, Jiang Sunche didn't speak, of course he knew what this meant.

However, he didn't blame Jiang Sun Che, because he knew how difficult it was to find the Flower Snake Clan for revenge, the three clans of the Qi Country were trinity, one clan was in trouble, and the two clans would help, in other words, dealing with the Flower Snake Clan was equivalent to dealing with the entire Qi Country.

Emperor Hongwen, who hated Bei'an, didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to revenge, let alone Jiang Sun Che.

"Would you like to join me if I could help you?"

Peng Xiuwen looked at Jiang Sun Che in shock, "Don't he know what it means to be an enemy of the Flower Snake Clan?" How dare he make such a promise? ’

"What do you say?!Do you know what it means to go against the Flower Snake Clan? Your dad and my dad won't agree! Qi Lingqiao exclaimed, she thought that Jiang Sunche was carried away by the sense of justice, and she was about to clarify the stakes.

Qi Lingqiao had read too much information, and knew that there were too many poor people like Peng Xiuwen in the world, and even more miserable people than him, she had also pitied them and helped those people, but then she found that there were countless miserable people in the whole world, and she couldn't help them at all.

So Qi Lingqiao learned to put away his Virgin Heart a long time ago.

If Peng Xiuwen's enemy was just a small person, within the scope of Qi Ling's dexterity, she would not be stingy with her compassion and help Peng Xiuwen, but the enemy of the Flower Snake Clan was too strong for them to provoke, even if it was her father, Qi Tingfeng would not choose an enemy like the Flower Snake Clan.

"Why not? How bad those people of the Flower Snake Clan are, they actually use living people to feed snakes, they must be punished! Jiang Sunche hadn't spoken yet, Jiang Miaoyu said indignantly.

"Princess, don't make a mess." Qi Lingdexterity said helplessly.

Qi Lingqiao knew that Jiang Miaoyu was a noble princess who was not familiar with the world and was pampered, how could she know what it meant to be an enemy of the Flower Snake Clan, she didn't even understand the general trend of the ordinary court, and now she was just driven by her innate sense of justice to say this.

"What about you? What do you say? After Jiang Sun Che saw that the two ladies had expressed their opinions, Huang Meiyu was silent, and turned her head to look at her, she was the most righteous of the seven ladies, Jiang Sun Che wanted to see how she reacted.

I only saw Huang Meiyu's face changing back and forth, very entangled.

Qi Lingdexterity turned around and grabbed Huang Meiyu's hand, "Sister Meiyu, you know what's at stake, don't get dizzy, we are not ordinary people, if we want to help him as our identity, it is likely to cause turmoil between the two countries." ”

Huang Meiyu knew what Qi Lingqiao meant, their family, an only son of the general of Bei'an, a favorite third princess of Emperor Hong Wen, a daughter of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and the daughter of General Hu Benzhonglang, if you add the remaining four wives of the Jiang family, only Jiang Sun Che's family can subvert Bei'an.

With their identity, they can fully represent Bei'anguo, if they go to help Peng Xiuwen seek justice, no matter who will think that it is Emperor Hong Wen's signal.

This is the confrontation between countries, a careless move, the world is in turmoil, and the lives are ruined, at that time, it is not dozens of lives of the Zhengfeng clan, but countless deaths.

However, the sacrifice of living people is also a scourge, and its harm is not necessarily much better than the turmoil in the world, after all, after the troubled times, there is peace, and if the sacrifice of living people is not stopped, there will never be a day of 'peace'.

Huang Meiyu is not like Jiang Miaoyu, she doesn't understand anything, she can casually say words to help, her face changed several times, and finally made up her mind, "Help, the sacrifice of living people, it will harm the eternals, and the long pain is better than the short pain." ”
