The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 388 The Tragedy I Witnessed

Hearing such words, Tian Lanshan couldn't directly plug his ears.

Seeing her like this, Xintao at the side knew that it was because she felt uncomfortable, and held her hand tightly, as if to calm her down.At this moment, they haven't found any evidence to prove that the so-called Goddess and the River God are fake. If His Highness does something at this moment, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of these people. There are so many people in Fuzhou. If things really go wrong, no one can save them.

Tian Lanshan seemed to know about such things and the worries of the people in front of her, so she glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Right now, he only hoped that Huang Changqing could save the woman, and he had already thought about it just now. After that, with so many people by the Tianhe River, it is impossible to attack easily, so it is only in the woman's home.

I know that although it is the honor of a family to be a sacrifice to the God of the River in Fuzhou, but I also know that no parent wants their daughter to die directly, so I will send Huang Changqing to investigate this matter. If the woman is really unwilling, then Huang Changqing can find a way to help her escape.

Thinking of this, the anger in Tian Lanshan's heart was only a little less, as if she was sure that the woman would not die.

In this way, the two followed a group of people to the so-called Tianhe.

Tian Lanshan looked towards Tiantian River, but didn't see anything unusual. It seemed that it was not as big as the lotus pond in the palace, but it didn't know how many people were killed down there. Sad in my heart, I must find out this matter, and directly abolish such a perverted custom from now on.This can be regarded as justice to the women who were buried in the river.

A group of people gathered there talking in twos and threes, and Tian Lanshan was also discussing with Xintao in a low voice what should be done next?
The noise in the crowd suddenly disappeared, as if it had been discussed, Tian Lanshan and Xintao felt a little strange and looked forward.

At this time, I saw four men in white clothes carrying a big sedan chair. Among the children seemed to be a woman in white clothes. When she was in a daze, she saw the man who was carrying the sedan chair say: "The goddess is here, why not?" Worship?" I don't know what method was used, but such a deep voice was transmitted so far, giving people a very powerful feeling, making people want to surrender and worship.

The people around all knelt down, although Xintao at the side felt that the goddess was just playing tricks, but at the moment she didn't dare to expose anything directly, so she also dragged Tian Lanshan to kneel down.

Seeing this group of people kneeling in front of him, it seemed that the goddess was also very satisfied and spoke, and a baby-like voice sounded, with a penetrating force: "Today is the annual The Qingming Festival is also the day when we worship the God of the River. Using this beautiful girl in Fuzhou to worship the God of the River can bless us with a year of peace in Fuzhou. We have had this custom for hundreds of years. Today, the goddess I personally Preside over such a ceremony, and pray for everyone in Fuzhou!" Saying this, the goddess suddenly fell silent.

Tian Lanshan looked up curiously, and looked towards the person in the sedan chair, but saw that she covered her face with a veil, and she seemed to be praying sincerely with her palms folded.

With the guidance of the goddess, the people here also put their hands together and began to pray one by one, and some people even chanted some incomprehensible spells, which reminded Tian Lanshan of the Taoist priest who had appeared in his memory before.

Although there were thousands of people around the river that day, it was extremely quiet at the moment, only the sound of rushing drinking water could be heard.

I don't know how long it took before those people stood up, and Tian Lanshan also stood up with Xintao's support, her legs were really numb after squatting for so long.

A man's voice suddenly sounded, and he asked a person, "Have the sacrifices been prepared?"

Seeing that it should be the village head here, he hurried up, stroked his white beard, and then waved his hand behind him, and someone brought up the chicken, duck and fish that had been prepared a long time ago. , followed by fruit, this appearance made Tian Lanshan a little stunned, looking at it, he really thought about so many things, but he really didn't know why the gods wanted to eat so many things?Blinking at Xintao beside him, she seemed to be asking where Huang Changqing was?
After staying by her side for many years, Xintao knew what she meant, so she looked around, but she didn't see Huang Changqing's shadow, she shook her head slightly and frowned.

The goddess was very satisfied seeing those things, and rang out again with a trace of cold voice, but it touched the nerves of Greedy Mountain and Xintao: "What about the girl?"

Just after finishing speaking, two strong men carried a woman who was dressed in red and tied up with heavy makeup. The goddess waved her hand, and the woman was thrown away by the two strong men like a Chinese cabbage. into the river.

Looking at such a scene, Tian Lanshan felt a pain in his heart, where did Huang Changqing go at this moment?To actually let that woman lose her life in front of him, how can he accept it?

That Xintao seemed to be seeing a woman throwing herself into the river for the first time, so she glanced at Tian Lanshan but was too scared to say a word.

The goddess saw this scene in her eyes, so she stopped talking, and the four men in white once again left with the proud son on their shoulders.

The people also followed her sedan chair and left. After the crowd left, only Tian Lanshan and Tian Lanshan were left beside the Tianhe River.

Tian Lanshan hurriedly ran over to look at the rushing river, feeling very regretful in her heart, this woman died in front of her like this, and she was too late to save her.

Seeing her like this, Xintao couldn't say a word. She knew that His Highness must not be able to accept such a scene. Before that Huang Changqing left him, he thought that the woman would be saved. But just now when I didn't see Huang Changqing's shadow and saw the two strong men throwing the woman into the river directly, I realized that everything was impossible, and the woman was still gone.

Tian Lanshan shed tears directly, and Xintao at the side held her hand tightly, as if she wanted to comfort her.

"Your Highness... If you don't want this tragedy to happen again at this time next year, then you must expose the conspiracy of those people." This worship of the river god is just feudalism, but these ignorant people are because of the feudalism. How cruel it is to kill an innocent girl every year.

Hearing such words, Tian Lanshan suddenly wiped her tears with her sleeves, sniffed and nodded quickly, but what effect would this have?The woman still can't come back, the only thing I can do is to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

But then Huang Changqing...why didn't he do what he said?
Thinking of this in his heart made him even more angry. If he really followed his plan, the woman would not die.

"Your Highness..." Suddenly a voice came from behind. Hearing such a familiar voice, the two knew it was Huang Changqing. Tian Lanshan quickly turned around and looked at Huang Changqing, who was like a drowned chicken, a little angrily: "Where are you going?" Where? She's dead! She's dead! You should have saved her, but you didn't!"

After being yelled at by her suddenly, Huang Changqing was obviously a little sluggish, but he suddenly reacted before pointing at himself: "It was me just now."

what?
This kind of sentence made Tian Lanshan stunned suddenly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, he looked at the person in front of him for a long time before asking: "What the hell is going on?"

Huang Changqing glanced at the two of them, then looked around, but still didn't say anything: "Let's go back and talk about it!"

This is not a convenient place to talk. If someone really found out, it would be much more difficult for them to investigate the case.

Tian Lanshan felt a little embarrassed thinking that she had yelled at the person in front of her indiscriminately just now, so she followed him out of here in desperation.

After they left, a person walked out from the big rock beside him.

When the man came to the river, he just looked at the water from where Tian Lanshan was standing, and then he looked at the water in the river that day. The current was still so fast, but the man frowned but left suddenly. .

After arriving at the inn, Huang Changqing told the two people in front of him that Cuiyun couldn't bear to be separated from his mother when he went to the tofu shop and saw a family crying.

Hearing this, Tian Lanshan thought about what he said to himself when he was at the Tianhe River just now, and then asked: "So you disguised yourself as a man to replace that Cuiyun girl, and that girl also left with elder brother?"

Huang Changqing just nodded, but after nodding, he looked at her aggrieved as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Your Highness...it seems that I didn't believe that I rescued you just now."

Hearing this, Tian Lanshan knew she was in the wrong, swallowed her saliva, and flattered her: "How could that be? Of course I know Huang Shiwei is a hero who stands up to help when things go wrong, so how could he misunderstand you like that? I know you will definitely make a move." After speaking, he was afraid that the people in front of him would not believe him, so he leaned on Xintao with that wrist and said, "Right? Xintao?"

Seeing her like this, Xintao burst out laughing with a "puchi": "Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness is absolutely right!"

Glancing at the two people, I don't know why Huang Changqing saw the obvious, perfunctory!
