Chapter 1773: Bai Yiqiao Had Miscarried
His eyes widened, and he glared at Bai Yiqiao. “She gave me the money…” Li Gouzi vomited a mouthful of blood. “To defile Chen… Chen Ermei. She said that she would give Chen Ermei… to me to be my wife.”
After Li Gouzi spoke, he vomited blood mixed with blood clots. His face was getting greener, and the blood in his abdomen was pouring out like fountain spouts.
Seeing this scene, even the people around who hated Li Gouzi couldn’t help but look away. The current him is really too miserable.
Li Gouzi wanted to open his mouth to ask for help, but more blood bubbled out from his mouth. The last of his strength was used to vomit twice. Then, his body spasmed twice, and he died.
Bai Yiqiao was dumbfounded when she heard Li Gouzi’s words. Her mind went blank, and she fell straight to the ground.
After Bai Yiqiao fell to the ground, her skirt gradually seeped with blood.
Bai Yiqiao had miscarried.
“Yiqiao.” Fang Yong hesitated and his expression showed struggle. A myriad of emotions and expressions were flashing on his face.
Bai Yiqiao lay on the ground, and the amount of blood on her skirt kept increasing.
“Fang Yong.” Fang Yong’s mother yelled at him, gesturing with her cane. “Get Yiqiao into the house.”
Despite being faced with this situation, Fang Yong’s mother remained calm.
Fang Yong finally snapped to his senses and picked up Bai Yiqiao from the ground. He carried her inside and was about to call a doctor when gongs and drums sounded.
Only then did everyone react. Today was the day when the government officials came to collect the grain.
“So, you are all gathered here. Bring the food and money from each family.” This time, several bailiffs and government officials had come.
The onlookers immediately dispersed and went to their homes to get money or food.
Some people had no money or food, so they actually sold their children to the government.
The wails of children came from all directions.
Ning Shu looked from the side and found the scene truly miserable. The dynasty was indeed built on the suffering of the common people.
She already thought that it was ridiculous when the people presented their children. Even more absurd was that the government actually accepted these children.
Were they going to sell their children as slaves? Their proof of identity was handed over to the government by their parents.
They sacrificed one or two children in exchange for the survival of the whole family.
The children who were being sold were anxious. They cried and shouted, but their parents left without looking back.
Was the imperial court now rotten to the point of publicly buying and selling people? They would then sell these children to the slave market?
They really didn’t let off any opportunity to seize benefits.
Fang Yong originally wanted to ask for a doctor for Bai Yiqiao, but he was stopped by a bailiff. The bailiff said to him, “I heard that you killed a tiger. The tiger skin is still there, right? The county head is getting on in years and has cold legs. He needs to use this tiger skin to cover himself.”
Fang Yong’s expression was fierce for a moment.
When Ning Shu heard this from not far away, she was a little speechless. That bailiff didn’t even bother to find a good reason. This summer was so hot that people wanted to die, yet he wanted the tiger skin as a blanket? He clearly just wanted Fang Yong’s tiger skin.
Now, Fang Yong was a tiger-fighting hero who was well-known in the nearby regions. Even the people in the county government were coveting this tiger skin.
