Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth living people as sacrifices
Zhao Jin was in the study room, frowning when he raised his eyes and looked out the window.
The snow outside still hasn't stopped. Although it hasn't always been snowing heavily, it has never stopped.
However, even in modern times, snow cannot be controlled, let alone in ancient times.
"Master Hou!" Takeda and Chi Yichi ran in in a hurry.
Zhao Jin's eyebrows twitched, "What's wrong? You're in a hurry."
Hearing this, Takeda didn't take it seriously. This was not the first time Zhao Jin said this to him.
Chi Yize became obviously more reserved and restrained a lot.
"Master Marquis, the Imperial Master has asked Your Majesty to pray to heaven and earth for an end to the snow."
Zhao Jin raised his eyelids, "So?"
The ancients were superstitious. Nowadays, snow disasters are becoming more and more serious. They will inevitably place their hopes on God.
So prayer is nothing unusual.
Takeda was so anxious that his mouth was boiling, "But they want to sacrifice human beings, and His Majesty has agreed! Now they have arrested people and are heading to Taishan in the west of the city!"
Taishan is the highest mountain in Bianzhou City.
Zhao Jin's expression changed and he stood up suddenly, "They have passed now?"
"yes!"
Zhao Jin touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and cursed: "Confused!"
Using human beings as sacrifices and praying to heaven and earth, this group of people can’t even think of it!
Zhao Jin reached out and grabbed the cloak hanging on the side, raised his hand, put on the cloak neatly, raised his feet and hurried out.
"You guys come with me!"
The most important thing now is to save people first.
Zhao Jin walked quickly to the door of the mansion, Takeda and Chi Yi followed closely behind Zhao Jin.
Riding on his horse, Zhao Jin turned around and said to them: "Take your people and rescue the innocent people first. I will go to the palace to see your majesty and persuade your majesty to take back your life!"
After saying this, Zhao Jin no longer delayed, directly raised his whip and rode towards the palace.
After clearing it out, there are not many roads that can barely be walked.
There is only one road left leading to the palace.
Moreover, there is also white snow on the ground, but relatively speaking there is not so much.
Zhao Jin walked halfway to the palace when he suddenly saw Prime Minister Cen Qianyi in a corner.
"Uu! Prime Minister!"
The two horses almost collided, and Zhao Jin quickly reined in the reins and controlled the horse's head.
The Prime Minister was also startled, "Hou Xuanping!"
"The Prime Minister is also entering the palace?" Zhao Jin took a look and saw that the rest of the road had been blocked by snow. There was only one direction left, which was towards the palace.
Zhao Jin responded in a low voice and asked quickly: "Is the Prime Minister doing the human sacrifice proposed by the Imperial Master?"
When the matter was mentioned again, Cen Qianyi's face immediately showed an angry look, "Yes! That's exactly what happened! What a nonsense! Sacrifice of human beings..."
Cen Qianyi's hand holding the reins was shaking with anger, "How could you do such a thing!"
"Let's go to the palace first and let His Majesty take back his orders." Zhao Jin took a deep breath, "I have asked my subordinates to go to the west of the city to stop him."
"good!"
After Cen Qianyi agreed, he changed his mind within two steps of the two of them.
"No, Lord Marquis, they may not be able to stop you." Cen Qianyi frowned tightly, "I will go into the palace to dissuade Your Majesty, and also ask Lord Marquis to go to the west of the city and save the people first."
After saying this, Cen Qianyi bowed deeply towards Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin quickly helped the man up and said, "The Prime Minister's words are serious."
He pondered for a while and then said: "Okay, I will rush over immediately. Your Majesty, please trouble the Prime Minister."
The two separated immediately, and Zhao Jin turned around and ran towards the west of the city.
Fortunately, there were no people on the street now, so Zhao Jin was able to rush directly to the west of the city.
When Zhao Jin rushed to the west of the city, Takeda and others were confronting Xu You.
Two young men and women were tied together on the altar. They were surrounded by bundles of firewood. Zhao Jin even saw that the firewood was a little wet.
Since they were to be set on fire, it couldn't be water, it could only be flammable substances such as kerosene.
The onlookers were quite a distance away from the four tied people, and there were soldiers holding handles around them.
Takeda and others stood face to face with Xu You.
On Takeda's side, in addition to the guards from Chi Yi and the Hou Mansion, there were also the Yamen Guards and guards from several other hospitals.
When Zhao Jin arrived, he didn't know what Xu You and Takeda said, and the two sides suddenly started fighting!
Xu You winked at the soldier holding the torch next to him, and the other party understood. While Takeda and others were fighting and had no time to pay attention, he quietly approached the four tied up people.
Zhao Jin's pupils shrank suddenly. He rode his horse, bypassed the onlookers, and rushed in through a gap.
"Hush!"
Pulling in the reins, Zhao Jin quickly turned over and dismounted.
Just when the soldiers were about to throw down the torch and light the firewood, Zhao Jin ran over and kicked the torch away.
"Who is it?" the soldier shouted sharply, but when he saw Zhao Jin's face, his voice suddenly became mute, "Marquis Xuanping."
The noise of Zhao Jin's arrival was too loud. Everyone noticed Zhao Jin, and the fight between the two sides stopped involuntarily.
Takeda, Chi Yi, and the guards of the Hou Mansion immediately rushed to Zhao Jin, "Master Hou!"
The rest of the Yamen Guards and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally they were the only ones who really didn't have the confidence to challenge the Imperial Master.
"Marquis Xuanping is here, but you want to watch the ceremony?" Xu You ignored Zhao Jin's kicking off the torch and instead asked Zhao Jin if he wanted to watch the ceremony.
Zhao Jin twitched his lips and said, "I am not interested in this kind of sacrifice. I just want to ask if I will let you go."
Xu You's face turned cold, "They are sacrifices, how can we let them go?"
"Sacrifice a living person?" Zhao Jin thought it was extremely absurd.
"Now that the snow is falling heavily, we have to offer sacrifices and pray to heaven and earth to find a chance of survival. Marquis Xuanping, you just caused trouble and apologized to heaven and earth. Maybe you can also pray for forgiveness."
Zhao Jin's face was extremely cold, his eyes were sharp, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, "Whether you let them go or not, I must save these four people today!"
"Why, does the Marquis want this heavy snow to kill more people?" Xu You shouted sharply: "In exchange for the lives of four people, the lives of more people in Bianzhou City and even the territory of Zhao Kingdom."
"They deserved their death!"
"Yes!" The people nearby were filled with indignation.
"Marquis Xuanping, if you destroy the sacrifice like this, what will happen if heaven and earth punish you?"
"You dignitaries, if it's not you who die, of course you are not afraid!"
"These are sacrifices to pray to heaven and earth, and they must not be let go!"
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and looked at the people who were filled with indignation and attacking them, feeling desolate and confused in his heart.
All these people agreed to sacrifice sacrifices.
Zhao Jin suddenly looked at the two tied men and women. Their faces were frightened and at a loss. When they looked at him, they showed no sign of asking for help.
