"explain!"

"Where are your accomplices!"

Under the blows of the whips, the woman who had some energy just now became weak and powerless.

Injuries can be seen everywhere on this body. If it weren't for the fact that the person she arrested was Zi Yuan and the person she beat was also Zi Yuan, how could Chunxu beat this obese woman so ruthlessly to this obese woman who was forced to have no choice in life.

Seeing the leader Chunxu coming, the two whipping brothers put down their whips.

"Leader." The two brothers greeted.

"How? Has she said who her accomplices are?" Chunxu asked.

The two brothers shook their heads.

"She is very strict and refuses to confess," said a brother.

"I understand, you go down."

"Eh."

This is just one of the small tents in Chunxu's military camp. They are originally rebels. This is not a Dali Temple. They are secret guards. Naturally, they don't have many torture tools, just some whips for beating horses.

There was no one in the tent. Only Chunxu stayed with the fat woman at the moment.

Chunxu, who was sitting on the chair, looked with cold eyes at the fat woman in front of him who was bruised but still conscious: "Tell me, who are your accomplices? Why do you do this to those children?"

Looking at the person in front of her, it was the person who tied her up just now. It didn't take long for the obese woman to start to get scared.

"Hero! Spare your life!"

"Have mercy! I am forced by life. Spare me, spare me!"

Seeing that this woman was quite greedy for life and afraid of death, she said, "I can spare you, but you have to reveal your accomplices."

"I say, I say, I tell them all!" After several shouts, they all told the truth: "They are from Yongchun Tower in Jinchuan Prefecture. Nowadays, isn't there famine in many places in Damo? Yongxiang

The people in the building said that instead of spending money to find people to work, it is better to pick up more people, sell those who can be sold, and bring the ones that cannot be sold back to Yongchun Building. There is no need to pay them wages, as long as they don't die."

"Yongchun Tower?" Chunxu muttered to himself.

The woman nodded: "Hero, I have already said, please spare me. Spare me, I will never dare again."

Looking at his sincere attitude, I thought that it was all due to the pressure of this life, and besides, Zi Yuan was not seriously injured, I wanted to spare his life.

"Zheng Chui!"

"Zheng Chui!"

Chunxu shouted twice and heard the sound of walking coming this way, but when he saw it, it was not Zheng Chui, but his father.

"Dad, why are you here?" Chunxu asked.

Father Sun Zhicai walked over in casual clothes with a slightly serious face: "Is she the woman you found with Ziyuan tied up in the city?"

Chunxu nodded: "Exactly. Dad, do you know everything?"

Father Sun Zhicai nodded: "Is that Ziyuan really from that time?" At this point, he said no more.

Chunxu didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "Yes. The military doctor just looked at it and said that the skin injury was a bit serious, but there was no internal damage."

"Are you going to let her go now?" her father Sun Zhicai asked.

Listening to what his father said, he then looked at the helper in front of him

The woman with bruises all over the pillar, begging to let her go, nodded: "Dad, she has also suffered this injury, and it is more serious than Ziyuan's, so it's considered normal."

At his son's words, his father Sun Zhicai frowned: "No, it's too unfair to let him go so easily. She is a woman who sells her children. This must have been a common thing in the past." After saying this, Sun Zhicai went.

He walked a few steps forward and came to the woman who was already covered in bruises.

Seeing that the man just called him daddy and would obey him in everything he wanted to do, the obese woman begged again: "Please do me a favor and spare my life. This is all forced by life. Spare me, I will

Promise not to engage in the business of selling children again.”

Listening to the plea, Sun Zhicai looked back and looked at Chunxu: "What were you asking her just now?"

"Just ask where his accomplices are." Chunxu replied.

"You want to kill his accomplices?" Sun Zhicai guessed. Seeing that Sun Zhicai had not said anything, he said: "Even if you kill her accomplices, there are still countless cases of child buying and selling in the world.

"

As he spoke, seeing that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said, "All you can do is turn a blind eye for the time being."

"It would be best to manage these things after you lead your brothers into the capital and overthrow the imperial court. Since she has been captured by you, with these few words of mercy, you want to

Let her go, can you guarantee that she will no longer do any business of selling children after she goes out? What's more, Ziyuan is also a victim, and he has the blood of the royal family flowing through him, so let her go like this? "

After listening to the words of the man with some white hair in front of her, the woman who was tied to the pillar and covered with bruises was so panicked that she did not dare to cry out for mercy. She was so nervous that sweat formed on her forehead.

Seeing his son Sun Chunxu's speechless expression, Sun Zhicai pulled the sword from the scabbard on Chunxu's waist and struck the woman who was tied to the pillar with a single stroke on her neck. The woman died.

.

Seeing that no one was coming around, Sun Zhicai stepped forward and patted his son Sun Chunxu on the shoulder: "The most important thing now is to lead the brothers to overthrow this court that does not take the people into consideration. You, you must learn to turn a blind eye.

Close one eye and learn to be cruel,

However, as a father, I still have something to say. When should I turn a blind eye and when should I be cruel? It all depends on the situation." After saying this, he placed the blood-stained sword on the woman.

Wipe it on clean clothes and put it back into Chunxu's scabbard.

After thinking for a while, Chunxu said: "Dad, I understand."

"It's good if you understand. Now that Ziyuan is back, that's the best thing."

"Also, your mother and I don't know the origin of this child. Furthermore, except for the housekeeper Cen Sheng, not many people know about our plan. As a father, you don't know the identity of this child."

If we want to make it public, let’s not talk about it for now. It won’t be too late to wait until the time comes.”

Listening to his father's words, it made sense after thinking about it. Chunxu agreed: "Okay."

"Father is old now, so I will leave the war to you young people. What I can do as a father is to give you a few words of truth and give you some advice on war." He said, thinking.

When he had finished talking, he said: "Okay, Dad is going to see Ziyuan."

Looking at his father walking out of the tent, he seemed to be the same as before, but a little different.

Looking at the dead woman on his master's side, Chunxu shouted: "Zheng Chui! Zheng Chui!"

This time, Zheng Zhui ran in in a hurry.

"Chunxu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Brother, what do you want me to do?" Zheng Chui asked.

Chunxu looked at the dead woman and ordered: "Go, pull her out and find a place to bury her."

"good."

…

"Zi Yuan, tell me. Where have my father and the others gone?" He Yuhong hurried to the tent after learning that Zi Yuan had been found.

Seeing Uncle Yu Hong's anxious look and thinking about what he had done, Zi Yuan really didn't dare to say that he couldn't help but shook his head and made up a reason: "I got separated from them when we were in Yishi Mansion.

"

After hearing this, he knew that Zi Yuan knew nothing, so He Yuhong stopped asking, stood up, and walked out disappointed.

At this time, the master Sun Zhicai was walking over. Looking at the injured children one by one, and since he had never seen Ziyuan's face, Sun Zhicai asked: "Who is Ziyuan?"

Each of the injured children looked at Sun Zhicai without saying a word. After hesitating for a moment, Zi Yuan said: "I am."

Hearing this sound, Sun Zhicai ran away in search of the sound. Looking at the child with a bruised nose and swollen face, he must be Zi Yuan.

Looking at the white-haired man in front of him with a smile on his face and asking no questions, and the two of them had never met before, Zi Yuan asked in confusion: "What do you want from me?"

Sun Zhicai smiled slightly and introduced himself: "I am your father's father, so I am your grandfather."

Zi Yuan couldn't understand for a moment: "Nonsense, why haven't I seen you?" Zi Yuan didn't know whether he was doing it for safety or what, and he was confused for a moment.

Sun Zhicai smiled slightly, walked forward, knelt down, and whispered in Ziyuan's ear.

After listening, Ziyuan understood all this. He thought that since he was Uncle Xu's father, he could be considered a relative, so he didn't have much scruples, and he was a little more cordial.

"Does this hurt?" Sun Zhicai asked worriedly.

Zi Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's not painful, it's just a skin injury. It'll be fine in a few days."

"That's good." Sun Zhicai smiled slightly and stood aside. He didn't know what to say for a while. Although he called him his grandfather for the sake of safety, this child had the blood of the royal family flowing through him.

At this time, Han Muxin and Cen Rong came over with a square wooden plate in their hands. There were several dishes and bowls of rice on the wooden plate.

"Are you all hungry? There are several bowls of rice and vegetables here. They are all hot. There are portions, ah." Han Muxin said with a smile on his face.

"Here." Han Muxin took a bowl of rice from the plate and handed it to Ziyuan.

Looking at this woman who had a pretty good face and was taller than him, and looking at the smile on her face, Zi Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

"Thank you, thank you." Ziyuan said.

Hearing what the child said, Han Muxin smiled slightly: "Thank you for what? This is all what you should do. Eat it quickly. Don't let the food get cold. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

After handing the rice in the wooden plates to a few of them, and seeing that everything was arranged, Han Muxin stood up, looked at the maid Cen Rong on the side, and then looked at the children: "If you don't have enough, tell me

Ha." After saying this, Han Muxin and Cen Rong walked out.

Looking at the fragrant rice in the bowl, Ziyuan could not help but think of his mother who had not yet been found. After all, her food was also so fragrant.
