Soon, the shopkeeper personally brought Li Chengfeng and Li Chengfeng a table of good wine and food.

A total of eight dishes, three hot dishes, three cold dishes, two egg soup and broth.

A roast chicken with cold cuts and a duck with sauce are very delicious.

Li Chengfeng and Li Lizhi, who hadn't eaten much all day, couldn't help but started eating heartily.

Originally, Li Lizhi didn't drink alcohol, but she didn't know what hit her tonight, and she actually wanted to drink?

It doesn't matter if you drink a small amount, and it can also have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so Li Chengfeng didn't stop it!

The food in this hotel is not bad, not as bad as that in the East Wing Loft.

At this time, Li Chengfeng finally realized why the price of food in the East Wing Loft did not increase, and there were not many customers.

Because you don't need others to be good in other aspects except for a better environment, so why should they go to Dongyang Lake for dinner?

How do you want to attract enough people to eat in the East Wing Loft? This could not help but become a question for Li Chengfeng to think about!

…

Li Chengfeng and Li Lizhi chatted while eating.

On the side, there are two big men who are also chatting.

With sharp ears, Li Chengfeng heard the conversation between them.

The dark-skinned burly man said: "Liu Dacheng, Liu Dacheng, you really did more than fail! Did you really sell your two children?"

The red-faced man took a sip of his drink and said, "It's sold, it's sold! It's sold for a thousand taels of gold! But don't tell me about this, or it will ruin my reputation." !"

"Oh? Human traffickers again, about selling children?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng involuntarily put down his chopsticks.

Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at Li Chengfeng with sharp eyes. She also heard the conversation between the two big men.

Li Chengfeng made a booing gesture and said, "Don't worry, let's listen to what's going on!"

"Well, what this princess hates the most in her life is the human traffickers. I must not let their plot succeed later!"

Li Lizhi puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.

…

The two continued to listen to the conversation between the two big men.

Liu Dacheng continued to drink, shook his head with a bitter face, and said: "I am a person who likes to gamble, and I owe a whole lot of debt. I have no choice but to sell my two children to pay off the debt, so as to prevent my child from being forcibly taken away and sold. , well done, right?"

"Then who did you sell it to? Who would be willing to give 1,000 taels of gold to sell your two children? Besides, your children are only in their early teens, right? You can't do it as a coolie, and it seems like you can buy a spring building." Not very good! Who will sell it?"

The dark man said.

Liu Dacheng looked around and saw that only Li Chengfeng and Li Lizhi were eating, so he felt relieved.

He said softly, "The person who wants to buy my pair of children is actually the emperor of Tang Dynasty!"

"What? What did the emperor sell your child for?" The dark man looked even more surprised.

Anyone can buy it, why would the emperor buy his child?

Li Chengfeng and Li Lizhi were even more shocked. Li Shimin was fine after eating, why spend a lot of money to buy a pair of children from other people?

And gambling is harmful, it is a bottomless pit, let alone one thousand taels of gold, even if you have ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, as long as you gamble big enough, it is very possible to lose in minutes.

In this regard, Li Lizhi has the right to speak!

"Why did the emperor buy other people's children?" Li Lizhi asked in a low voice.

Li Chengfeng shook his head, and said: "I don't know, listen to it for a while, and talk about it later!"

"Hmm, good! I also want to know what happened!"

Li Chengfeng always felt that something was wrong.

Moreover, in the past few days, Li Shimin has always been weird, and he seems to be absent-minded when speaking, as if he is preoccupied.

It is estimated that something big is about to happen!

…

On the left, the two big men continued to chat.

The swarthy man said: "Dacheng, you are really willing to give up. They are your own children? Just sell them like this?"

"If you don't sell it, you have to sell it!" Liu Dacheng gritted his teeth tightly and said.

A **** man said: "Then why are you selling it to the emperor?"

"Go to sacrifice to the Dragon King! Tomorrow, the last day of the Dragon King's sacrificial ceremony, the two priests told the emperor that they need to find a pair of boys and girls to sacrifice to the Dragon King!"

"Sacrificing to the Dragon King? Is it a simple cutscene? Or is it?"

"Hehe, if it's a simple cutscene, anyone's daughter can go, why would the emperor spend a lot of money to find me?" Liu Dacheng said with a bitter smile: "It's actually not the case, it is to sink the boy and girl into Dongyang Lake. Among them, use their lives to sacrifice to the Dragon King, pray that the Dragon King will not rain, and bless the world with peace and health!"

"Ah? Then, aren't your children going to die?" The dark man looked very nervous.

Liu Dacheng nodded irrefutably, and said: "Yes, that's true! But I have no other choice! Just now, Prime Minister Wei Zheng has paid a deposit of 500 taels of gold, and let us prepare in the red sedan chair tomorrow morning. Good boys and girls, send them to the Dragon King Temple in Dongyang Lake! At that time, there are still many things to pay attention to! After this sacrificial ceremony is over, they will pay me another deposit of 500 taels of gold!"

"Oh! You, Dacheng, Dacheng, you wolf-hearted thing, that's all your baby!"

A **** man pointed at Liu Dacheng's nose and cursed.

Liu Dacheng smiled lightly, looking very indifferent.

"I can't help it. I don't want them to suffer with me. Anyway, I gave birth to them and raised them. Let them repay my kindness this time!"

Liu Dacheng continued to take another sip of his drink.

…

"The sacrificial ceremony? You actually want to use the lives of living people to sacrifice to the Dragon King?"

After hearing this incident, Li Chengfeng's heart stirred up waves.

Li Lizhi was also dumbfounded.

They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Li Chengfeng said: "Why didn't the father tell us about this matter?"

Li Lizhi shook her head~lightnovelpub.net~ and said, "I don't know!"

"Has this ever happened before?"

"I don't know. Sacrifice ceremonies are very common, but this is the first time I've heard that boys and girls are used for sacrifices! This is too cruel!"

Li Lizhi showed a worried expression.

Li Chengfeng's face was also not very good-looking.

The father of the boy and girl was simply a scumbag.

You are not worthy of being a human being, why don't you die yourself, and even kill your own children?

Since you brought them into this world, you have the right to protect them.

The so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children, but you actually trade your child's life for money?

man!

Li Chengfeng sighed inwardly.
