Chapter 195 Rumors
"Oh, I wonder what big thing happened in our Cangzhou?"
Hearing Wei Shanhai say that it was about Cangzhou, Lu Qing was slightly moved and asked quietly.
"An incident happened in the state capital two days ago.
There was a brothel in Goulan Village, and for some unknown reason, it was massacred.
It was not a big deal in the first place. These small forces on the gray fringe were originally It's easy to offend people, and it's not surprising that they were destroyed.
But I didn't expect that when the village was destroyed, the second son of the Zheng family in Fucheng was also there, and he was killed conveniently.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. "
“Why is the Zheng family in this city so powerful?” The old doctor was a little curious.
"The Zheng family in Fucheng is an old family with strong strength and long-standing heritage.
Its heritage is ranked high in the entire state, and it can be regarded as one of the most powerful families in Cangzhou.
Although its ancestor is a female, Although he was seriously injured due to some incidents, he is still one of the most powerful Xiantian realms in Fucheng."
Wei Shanhai explained.
"Senior Wei, the big event you mentioned is related to the Zheng family?" Lu Qing continued to ask.
It seems that the news that Yuanyang Village is the stronghold of Qishalou has not spread.
I just don’t know whether someone deliberately covered up the news, or whether the guests who fled at the time did not spread the word.
"Not bad." Wei Shanhai nodded.
A young master from an aristocratic family.
But it so happened that this second Mr. Zheng was the grandson of the ancestor of the Zheng family, and he was extremely favored by her.
After his death, the ancestor of the Zheng family went crazy and not only killed all the guards of the second Mr. Zheng.
They also detained all their wives and children and threatened to sacrifice them all as human beings on the day of the burial of the second son of Zheng, so that they could be buried with her grandson. "
When he heard about living sacrifices, Lu Qing had no reaction.
He was just a little surprised at how ruthless the ancestor of the Zheng family was.
Even if he killed a few poorly protected guards, he even spared his wife and children.
Is this really the work of a big family?
But when the old doctor heard the words "living sacrifice", he turned pale with shock and said, "Living sacrifice? How could the ancestor of the Zheng family be so cruel?"
"Master, what is a living sacrifice?"
Lu Qing had rarely seen his master lose his temper, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Human sacrifice is an extremely cruel burial method."
Before the old doctor had time to speak, Wei Shanhai had already explained.
‟ After turning into a clay figurine, the person inside will still not die immediately, but will always have a breath hanging in his chest.
Then, inside the clay figurine, in the dark tomb, he feels the passage of his life bit by bit, and finally slowly dies in the endless resentment. "
Lu Qing shuddered a little.
I didn’t expect that this method of human sacrifice would be so cruel. No wonder Master was so moved.
The old doctor's face was ugly: "I remember that this method was too cruel and harmful to the peace of the world, so it had already been abolished and banned by an order from the royal capital."
Wei Shanhai nodded: "Not only the royal capital, but also the holy mountain had an order prohibiting human sacrifices.
Hence, this rarely happens in the world.
Even if someone does this again, they only dare to do it secretly and don't dare to show it publicly."
"Then why does the ancestor of the Zheng family dare to do such a cruel and unethical method?" The old doctor asked.
"Yes, isn't she afraid that the Holy Mountain will send people to question her?" Lu Qing also said.
“I don’t know that.” Wei Shanhai shook his head.
"However, there are rumors from the outside that the ancestor of the Zheng family has gone crazy.
She gave birth to two sons in her early years. The eldest son was extremely talented in martial arts and was one of the most famous young talents in Cangzhou at that time.
The ancestor of the Zheng family loved him very much. I wanted to train him to be the head of the Zheng family. However, I never thought that the eldest son of the Zheng family would offend a Xiantian warrior who was passing through Cangzhou and was killed on the spot.
The ancestor of the Zheng family learned about this and fought with the foreign Xiantian warrior to avenge his son.
But she was also seriously injured, and her lifespan was greatly reduced. After calculation, her end was approaching, and she had only a few years left to live.
It is said that the second son of Zheng who died this time was the posthumous son of the eldest son of the Zheng family.
Under such a series of blows, and his own end is approaching, the ancestor of the Zheng family may have lost his mind, so he will ignore it and not take the prohibition of the Holy Mountain to heart. ”
"But even so, she should not practice the method of human sacrifice. This method is too cruel. According to rumors, the people who were tortured by this method have lingering resentments. Three souls and seven souls are trapped in the clay figurines. They cannot enter reincarnation and cannot be reincarnated. It is too harmful to the world." The old doctor still looked ugly.
"Senior Wei, since the royal capital has also explicitly prohibited the repeal of this law, is there no one in the state capital to stop it?" Lu Qing asked.
"The fact that the Zheng family is going to perform a human sacrifice is just a rumor and has not been confirmed. The Zheng family has also flatly denied this matter.
Before there is conclusive evidence, even the city lord's palace can't do anything to the Zheng family.
"But the strange thing is that, knowing that these rumors are very detrimental to themselves, the Zheng family does not curb the rumors and allows them to spread, which is really puzzling.
And the Zheng family did imprison the wives and children who were guarding it.
Therefore, many people think that the rumors may not be groundless.
In short, the whole state is a little nervous now.
I wonder if the ancestor of the Zheng family was really crazy and did such a cruel thing on the day of her grandson’s burial. ”
"I hope this ancestor of the Zheng family can have mercy and not commit sins in vain."
The old doctor was relieved when he heard that things might turn around.
He has always been kind-hearted. If the ancestor of the Zheng family really wanted to hold a human sacrifice in the end, he might not be able to help but stop it.
"I hope so. I heard that among the clan members who died as guards and were captured, there were children under the age of 10. It would be too cruel if even children suffered such capital punishment." Wei Shanhai also sighed.
When the old doctor heard this, his face became heavy again.
On the other hand, Lu Qing, when he heard Wei Shanhai's previous words, his heart suddenly moved and he guessed something.
However, his face still showed nothing, and he continued to chat with the two old people.
Next, Wei Shanhai shared some recent events in the world.
Although the Wei family lives in a corner, they have always paid attention to the outside world.
Especially after experiencing the almost genocide two years ago and knowing that the world is about to change drastically, he is even more sensitive to outside movements.
Lu Qing also obtained a lot of news about the world.
After Wei Shanhai had finished chatting, he returned to the other courtyard.
Lu Qing returned home, then his face became calm and he began to think silently.
