What a child tower!

It’s clearly the Daughter Tower!

Chen Jinyu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her eyes were almost smoking.

Jiang Shaohua was angry at all in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "This child has met this princess, and she is destined to be with her. If you abandon her, I will buy her."

Hearing the word princess, the old woman's body softened again and turned into a puddle of mud.

The man cried and kowtowed: "Thank you, Princess, for saving Xiaoliu's life. It's not that I don't care about the children, it's just that there are too many children and I can't afford to raise them. It's all because of me, my biological father, who is useless!"

Even though the yard was covered with dirt, I knelt down a few times and my forehead turned red.

The woman who hugged her daughter tightly kowtowed with tears in her eyes: "Thank you so much, Princess!"

Jiang Shaohua endured the sadness in his heart and continued: "Xiao Liu has just been born and needs someone to take care of and raise him. You are Xiao Liu's biological mother, and this important responsibility will be left to you. This princess will continue to explain that Xiao Liu will be sent to him every month. Six years of rice and food will come. When she reaches eight years old, she can go to the palace to learn the rules and work as an errand."

The woman never expected that Xiao Liu could still stay by her side. She was so excited and joyful that she could not speak at all and could only keep kowtowing.

Chen Jinyu wiped her eyes with her sleeves and stepped forward to help the woman up: "You have just given birth and are weak. You are still holding the baby in your arms. Stop kneeling and kowtow."

The woman stood up with red eyes.

Chen Jinyu turned to Ma Yaozong and asked: "Masher, how much money does it cost to buy a newborn child?"

Ma Yaozong calculated in his mind and replied in a low voice: "Children between six and ten years old usually get three taels of silver. When Xiao Liu is born, two taels of silver is enough."

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly: "Go and create a document, ask Xiaoliu's father to take his fingerprints, and then give him the money."

Ma Yaozong responded immediately. He brought a portable charcoal pen and paper with him, and he made a contract of betrayal over a cup of tea.

The man still had some sense of conscience. After taking his fingerprints, he refused to ask for Xiao Liu's money from selling himself.

Chen Jinyu's face darkened: "The princess bought Xiaoliu, so of course she has to give her money. You should collect it as soon as possible!"

"Remember, from now on, the county government will send rice grains every month, and they will all be Xiaoliu's rations. Xiaoliu is still young and needs to be fed by his own mother. This rice grain must be eaten by Xiaoliu's mother until she is full. There is enough milk to feed Xiaoliu.”

"From now on, Xiao Liu belongs to the princess. You must take good care of her. If there is any mistake, the princess will not take it lightly!"

Jiang Shaohua silently glanced at Chen Sheren, who was shouting fiercely and showing his teeth and claws. There were some things that she, the princess, said that were beneath her status and dignity, so it was appropriate for Chen Sheren to warn her on her behalf.

The man had no choice but to take the money and kneel down to thank him again.

"Where is the Children's Tower?" Jiang Shaohua suddenly opened his mouth: "You lead the way, I want to go and have a look for myself."

The man did not dare to hesitate and immediately agreed, turned around and gave the money to his mother. After the old woman took the money, she suddenly gained mental strength and her body was no longer weak.

Chen Jinyu saw this and felt the anger in her heart getting stronger and stronger. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the princess glance over.

Chen Jinyu reluctantly shut up.

After everyone left the courtyard, Chen Jinyu whispered: "Xiao Liu's money from selling her body should be kept by her own mother."

"The head of this family is Xiaoliu's grandmother." Jiang Shaohua said calmly: "Don't interfere with these trivial matters."

Changing customs is inherently difficult and cannot be done impatiently. On this side, the woman hugging Xiaoliu was like holding a treasure, tears pouring out.

Seeing the princess and his entourage leaving, the old woman regained her courage and said, "Why are you crying! The princess bought Xiaoliu. This is a great joy. In the future, when Xiaoliu is raised, he will work as an errand in the palace, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing." , and you can earn a monthly income. This is Xiaoliu’s blessing, and it is also a blessing for our family.”

"Why don't you hurry up and go into the house and feed Xiao Liu. If Xiao Liu is hungry, see how I deal with you!"

The woman did not dare to cry anymore, so she responded in a low voice, hurried back to the house, and unbuttoned her clothes.

The wailing Xiaoliu didn't know that his fate had changed drastically, so he started sucking greedily. The woman looked at her young daughter and wanted to laugh, but tears rolled down her face again.

……

The Children's Tower is not too far away, and it only takes half an hour to walk.

This is the northwest corner of Wuyin County. There are no homes nearby for two or three miles, and there is only a solitary tower. The tower is not high, about nine feet. No bricks or stones were used, just lumps of earth.

Far away, there was an extremely strong stench drifting down the wind.

Chen Jinyu was so sick that she almost vomited.

Jiang Shaohua had smelled such a smell in the military camp. It was the smell of rotting corpses. She stopped and signaled to Ma Yaozong with her eyes. Ma Yaozong understood this and immediately sent the man back.

The man walked far away, knelt down and kowtowed to the princess three times before leaving.

"This man is not a bad person." Jiang Shaohua sighed softly: "He has an old mother and wife at home, and four children. He really can't afford to raise another child."

Chen Jinyu covered her mouth and nose with her hands and said angrily: "Then you shouldn't send your child to a place like this. It's better to just drown him in the toilet, and the child will suffer less."

"Drowning a child with your own hands is murder. A normal person would not be able to do this." Jiang Shaohua's voice was quite calm, and there were two flames in his eyes: "Send the child to the tower, and you can escape the condemnation of conscience. "

"Princess, I am very upset." Chen Jinyu sniffed, her voice choked with sobs: "If Xiaoliu was a boy, wouldn't he be sent to the Children's Tower? My daughter is also a blood relative, so why was she sent to the children's tower? So contemptuous?"

Jiang Shaohua stretched out his hand to hold Chen Jinyu's hand, and whispered: "Sister Jinyu, I am equally angry in my heart. Today, I will level this child's tower!"

"Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao, you lead people forward, level the tower, dig a hole on the spot, and bury all the bodies of the infants and children inside."

A dozen soldiers responded and quickly stepped forward.

They had been in battle and killed people before, and when they beheaded bandits that day, each one was more efficient than the other. When I walked into the Children's Tower today, the tragic scene I saw was truly horrifying. Someone actually felt sick to his stomach and turned around and vomited.

It’s so miserable!

The children's tower was full of bones of infants, and there was one who had just died a few days ago, and most of his skin and flesh had been eaten away by insects and ants. The strong stench also came from this young corpse.

Qin Hu kept his head silent and kicked his leg hard. Meng Sanbao also kicked him. The soldiers kicked the tower down quickly.

Next, the hole needs to be dug and filled. It was inconvenient to use weapons like swords, so two soldiers went to look for shovels nearby. I went to the nearest houses and found three guns. The soldiers took turns using them, and they dug a deep pit in a short time.

The infant's bones were placed in a deep pit.

Into the ground is safe.
