Doubts appeared in the eyes of the elderly refugee. He was the leader of the clan, and all the clan members obeyed his arrangements. How could the clan leader be disqualified?

In fact, he was not the only one who thought so. The other two people kneeling on the ground also had the same doubt: If they were not qualified to represent the entire clan, how could they appear in front of Pinglehou and Wang County Magistrate?

Magistrate Wang has spent the longest time with Huo Yunchao, and knows best that his ideas are incompatible and seem extremely naive and ridiculous. After further study, I found it to be very reasonable.

Huo Yunchao noticed the refugee's doubts, looked at the men and women under the city gate, and asked an irrelevant question: "How many women are there in your family? How old is the youngest?"

He knew that there were many families who would not give their female relatives the opportunity to participate in important family affairs, and it was rare to see female relatives outside.

The refugee's eyes were filled with fear. He clenched his fists and replied in a trembling voice: "Hui, Hui Hou, my little family has six or six female dependents. The youngest is just one month old... …”

I don't know what he thought of, but the refugee suddenly lost control. He kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Please don't take away the villain's granddaughter, please forgive me! Please Lord Hou!"

The other two leaders also had different expressions and were trembling all over.

Huo Yunchao's gaze was like a torch, scanning the three leaders inch by inch. He suddenly turned his head and gave Magistrate Wang a hint in his eyes: Sir, I'm about to start.

Magistrate Wang nodded. He also wanted to know if any of these refugees were involved in the fortune-raising ceremony. If so...

Huo Yunchao didn't answer but asked: "Where are you two? How many female dependents are there in your family? How old is the youngest? Report them one by one."

The refugee lying on the far left responded with a trembling voice: "Xiao, Xiao, there are six people in the family, and there are no women."

Huo Yunchao took a deep breath, suppressed the surge of anger, and asked, "Why don't you have any female dependents?"

Could it be that they killed all the female relatives and sold them?

The refugee on the left replied: "Xiao, both of the villain's parents died. It was my uncle who took pity on the villain and took in his five brothers."

Huo Yunchao narrowed his eyes and continued to question: "None of your five brothers are married?"

The refugee on the left replied pitifully: "As for the Marquis, I am from a poor family and cannot afford a wife."

Huo Yunchao turned his head and looked at Secret Guard B.

Secret Guard B was ordered to find out whether what the refugee on the left said was true or false.

Huo Yunchao asked the refugee kneeling in the middle: "What about you in the middle? How many people are there in your family? How many women are there? How old is the youngest?"

The refugee in the middle obviously couldn't see Huo Yunchao's expression, but he could feel Huo Yunchao's anger. He hesitated for a while and said the truth: "Go back to the Marquis, little man, little man, there is no one, only one." Named female family member. Yes, she is the common wife of the villain's three brothers."

Sharing wives?

Huo Yunchao originally thought that this term only existed in books. How could he have thought that one day he would hear it with his own ears?

He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Has your wife ever been pregnant and given birth to a child?"

The refugee in the middle answered cautiously: "Female, the daughter-in-law just bought it, no, she just got married less than half a year ago, and she hasn't given birth yet."

Huo Yunchao's outlook on life was once again greatly impacted. He originally thought that Xu Ning's life was painful and pitiful. Unexpectedly, Xu Ning, who suffered discrimination and ridicule, was really a lucky man in this era!

Huo Yunchao realized more and more deeply how out of tune his father Xu's love for Xu Ning was with this society.

County Magistrate Wang patted Huo Yunchao's shoulder lightly, asking him to come back to his senses as soon as possible. He cleared his throat and said, "I am aware of your demands and Marquis Ping Le. You will go back and wait. You will be waiting at home with your wife, children and children tomorrow morning." Now, I, the Marquis of Ping Le, will personally go to the place where you live to register your household registration, determine the number of refugees, and then demarcate the land reclamation area and residence for you."

The three leaders kowtowed and thanked them. They walked down the city wall cautiously and led the refugees away.

The three leaders gathered together to discuss: "Should we hide the women?"

"What if Marquis Pingle also needs a baby girl to attract wealth?"

"Don't make blind guesses! Haven't you heard how much Marquis Pingle loves the eldest lady of the Marquis?"

"So what? What if, what if the Marquis is just showing off to the outside world? Have you never heard about the Marquis visiting the brothels?"

"Performing a show? Visiting a brothel? After visiting a brothel, you rescue the mother of a young homeless man? The Marquis is still the son-in-law! If it were you, how could you do this?"

……

The other two leaders became silent and looked at each other: they really can't do it.

From this point of view, when Pinglehou asked about the female relatives in their family, it was most likely just a casual question?

"What are you thinking? The noble Marquis really wants a woman, and he has chosen a beautiful and clean young woman. How could the Marquis be so talented that he would fall in love with the women of our family?"

The two leaders must have thought: Yes, what kind of woman does Pinglehou want? Why did you fall in love with their female relatives?

Magistrate Wang ordered the hundreds of refugees to disperse with a few words. Huo Yunchao was still in shock and did not recover for a long time.

"Yun Chao, what are you thinking about?"

"Share wives."

Magistrate Wang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Are you so interested in sharing a wife?"

Huo Yunchao was not interested in such feudal dross. He just wanted to know what individual shared wives thought, and what those beasts who were inferior to pigs and dogs thought:

"No, it's not. I'm just curious about how women who share wives would think, and what's going on in the minds of those who take the initiative to participate in the wealth-raising ceremony. Why can they treat the baby girl as a living person?"

Magistrate Wang woke up Huo Yunchao with one sentence: "Yunchao, women have no right to choose. Those who believe in wealth-raising rituals cannot be considered human beings. People have courtesy, justice and shame, and the feeling of licking calves, but those people do not."

Huo Yunchao suddenly understood: "Thank you, sir, for your advice."

Yes, he made the mistake of judging others by himself again. He was a child who grew up under the red flag with three righteous views. He was completely different from those scum. How could he understand the thoughts of scum?

Magistrate Wang asked him: "The principal culprit of the wealth-raising ceremony has been found, and there are too many accomplices, most of whom are refugees. What are your plans?"

Huo Yunchao answered very simply: "If I find out when I log in to my household registration tomorrow that someone is profiting from selling his biological daughter, I will ask the secret guards to send those scum to the eighteenth level of hell! I hope you won't stop me."

Magistrate Wang smiled and said: "Of course I won't stop you, but this matter needs to be done more secretly, so that no one can catch you. Or you can just make it bigger and make it known to all the people. , in order to shock those scum who are still trying to abandon female infanticide, let them know how much you hate this behavior! Let them realize that their behavior will not only not bring about windfall, but will bring about the evil that will kill them. Your Majesty!"
