I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Li Zhao didn't say anything, so Qingluan couldn't persuade him.

She opened and closed her lips several times, and finally closed them.

This kind of life did not last long. Li Zhao only lived in the village for four days before he received news from Qingluan.

"Zhao Zhao, Lin An's mother seems to be giving birth soon."

Li Zhao hummed and walked out: "Gather everyone, go for a walk in the nearby mountains, have a picnic, and then go in the direction of Lin An's mother's home when we come back."

In the plains, Li Zhao took a group of officials and students to hunt, barbecue, recite poems and write essays, and had a great time.

Only two miles away, a pregnant woman from a poor family was struggling on the verge of death.

During the banquet, Li Zhao shook the wine in the white jade cup with a smile on his face.

While she was running the live broadcast room and trying to divert the audience's attention, she felt gloomy in her heart.

Li Zhao released a [Happy Face Puppet] and watched near Lin An's mother's house. He naturally knew that Lin An's mother was in a life-and-death situation at this moment.

In the room, Lin Anniang cried out in pain, and the midwife shouted, "There's no hot water, Mrs. Bai, boil some!"

Looking at the last burning firewood in the stove, Bai Caihua gritted her teeth and called her sixteen-year-old grandson: "Da Lang, go borrow some firewood from other families to boil water. Tell them we will pay them back when we have money."

Dalang went there immediately: "Yes, mother."

After a lot of trouble, finally, the sound of a baby crying was heard. Lin An's mother gave birth.

Outside the room, more than a dozen people in Lin Anniang's family were full of anticipation and hope, staring at the door eagerly, waiting for good news.

The midwife came out holding a swaddling cloth and handed it to Bai Caihua with a sigh: "Oh, it's another boy."

Bai Caihua took the swaddling clothes, and the faces of the whole family instantly fell.

She had given birth to another son. Upon hearing this, Lin Anniang's face in the room turned even paler.

The midwife knew that their family was poor, so she only took the two eggs given to them by the widow Wang's family as a thank you gift: "Mrs. Bai, you can do whatever you want. I'm leaving now."

As soon as the midwife left, a fierce look immediately appeared on Bai Caihua's face. She didn't even look at Lin Anniang and directly picked up the baby in the cradle.

The child burst into tears. As a mother, Lin Anniang instinctively stood up to protect her child: "Aunt... My dear, the child..."

Bai Caihua's face was gray and gloomy: "Boss, go in with your son and keep an eye on An Niang."

Her husband sighed and went in to see Lin Anniang: "Annniang, forget it. You and I can't bear to do it. Let Anniang free this child."

Lin Anniang cried heartbreakingly: "Please let me raise him, my dear! Save my share of food and let him eat it to grow up!"

Her husband held her down and also shed tears: "Ann Niang, if this is a girl, our family can save on food and raise her, and find a good marriage for Dalang and his family."

"But he's a son, he eats so much, he's not as useful as a girl!"

Lin Anniang's sons also knelt before her, tears streaming down their faces: "Mother, forget it, let your brother go."

Her youngest son cried the most: "Mother, my third and fifth brothers went to the county town to be apprentices and were beaten to death. Last year, my second brother went to a place a hundred miles away to collect firewood and had his arm bitten off by a tiger. He is also dead."

"We are poor, our lives are worthless, this is our fate, we can't escape it."

"I only ate half a bowl of rice yesterday. Mother, we can't afford to support my brother!"

The words of her family members were like swords, slicing at Lin Anniang's body. She opened her mouth, tears welled up, but she couldn't utter a word.

After a while, Lin Anniang fell on the bed, her eyes completely lifeless.

Bai Caihua had already carried the child to the back of the yard, where there was a stone trough.

When Lin An'niang gave birth to the child, Li Zhao calculated the time and came back with people.

Yudou Xuanzun was floating and humming a song, as if he was in a good mood.

Qingluan knew, however, that Zhaozhao's mood was not as good as it seemed, but rather very bad.

When Li Zhao and others passed by Lin An's mother's house, Li Zhao suddenly stopped and said, "Wait, there is the breath of a vengeful spirit here."

Bai Caihua happened to come out with a package, and Li Chao immediately ordered: "Catch that old woman!"

Several bodyguards reacted quickly, rushed forward and held down Bai Caihua.

A female soldier snatched the bag from her arms, opened it and took a look. She screamed and almost dropped it.

The reason was simple: the thing in the bundle was a wet dead baby.

A baby boy with a body that was cold and purple.

"Oh my God! Infanticide!"

Pei Xuan, Ruyi and other officials and students had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were about to fall.

Yu Dou Xuan Zun's smile froze, and a deep red flame instantly burned up from her body, shooting up three feet high!

Everyone present felt the tremendous heat coming from Xuan Zun, and they hurriedly retreated away from the furious Xuan Zun.

Li Zhao activated the [Illusion] skill, creating the illusion of burning hellfire.

She stared at the shivering Bai Caihua and said coldly, "It was you who killed the baby boy."

Bai Caihua's body trembled, and her legs softened and she fell to the ground: "Xuan, Xuan Zun, Xuan Zun, spare my life..."

Her children and grandchildren heard the noise and hurriedly ran out, knelt down, and kowtowed loudly: "Xuan Zun, we have our own difficulties! We have our own difficulties!"

"Yes, my younger brother was born with a disability and couldn't speak. My eldest mother killed him for his own good!"

"It is natural for elders to kill their descendants. Please let my mother go!"

Some people in the barrage were very confused.

[Green Glaze]: If a male thing dies, it dies. Why do you care so much?

[Yu Wei]: Host, don’t love men too much. Your mother-in-law is also a woman, and a woman is a treasure.

[Yuwei]: What's wrong with a girl killing a boy?

[Green Glaze]: Inferior Vs should be exterminated!

Li Zhao's voice was unnaturally calm: "In this world, men are superior to women, and women are not as valuable as men."

"If you kill a valuable baby boy and you won't be punished, what about killing a worthless baby girl?"

The barrage of comments suddenly became quiet, and it took a long time before a sentence came out.

[Thousands of Poems Revised]: If we don't kill this old woman to serve as a warning to others, more babies will die here.

Li Zhao gave an indifferent order: "Take this family to the entrance of the village, and bring the woman in labor as well."

"Call all the villagers to come and watch the execution."

This was a big village with more than a hundred households. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they gathered in a huge crowd, all looking anxious.

Infanticide is a very common thing in Jiangxi and Fujian.

There were many people in the family but not much land, so when they could not feed the children they had to kill them, especially baby girls.

Each family would keep at most one or two girls to serve, and when they grew up they would be married off to other families' sons as wives.

They don't think there's anything wrong with what they do: "Killing children? Isn't this a common thing?"

"We have always lived like this. Why does Xuanzun insist on punishing Bai Pozi's family?"

There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the woman who spoke: "We...Xuan Zun will punish us next. Will it be us?"

When the people around her heard her words, they became even more panicked.

Over there, Yu Dou Xuan Zun had already begun to pronounce the verdict.

"Bai Caihua, you are disgraced as an elder, unkind to your parents, and drowned your grandson. You are now sentenced to beating with a stick."

"The rest of the relatives, who did not try to stop the evil, but instead aided the tyrant in his atrocities, shall also be put to death."

Li Zhao had a smile as warm as the spring breeze, but his tone was frighteningly calm.

"Execution."

"Yes, sir." The personal soldiers received the order and went to arrest the crying Bai Caihua family.

There were constant screams, begging, cursing, and crying all around.

The people were horrified, and some could not bear to see such a tragic scene and turned around and vomited on the ground.

Li Zhao heard everything and yet heard nothing.

She kept smiling, and the mask belonging to God was firmly welded to her face.

He was clearly in great torment, as if he were being boiled or burned, but there was not a single sign of it on his face.

Finally, the world is quiet.

All the noise died down with the death of Bai Caihua's family, and Li Zhao ended calmly.

"Those who kill infants are guilty of an unforgivable sin. After death, they will go to the eighteen levels of hell and will never be freed."

"If an accomplice passes away, he will be a sacrifice for every life, a beast for every generation, and will never be reborn as a human being."

She grabbed with her bare hands, and several colorful balls of light floated out from the dead Bai Caihua family. Then, with a flash of light, they turned into several wild ducks and pheasants.

The pheasants and ducks were just bought from the [Taobao Module]. As for extracting the souls, just use the [Illusion] skill to fake it.

After doing all this, Li Zhao floated away regardless of the extremely frightened gazes of the people around him.

The comments in the live broadcast room started to quarrel again.

[Qingyue]: The whole family doesn’t have to die. The heroine written by the anchor is too cruel.

[Yu Wei]: Yes, is the heroine really a college student who traveled through time? She cut it into a human stick, how could she be so ruthless!

[Dan Jin]: The two in front, you also know that the heroine is a college student!

[Nuwa of Destiny]: The heroine must be the most miserable because she kills innocent people in order to achieve the political goal of eradicating the custom of drowning infants!

After returning to her residence, Li Zhao dismissed everyone and entered the system space. She went to the bathroom and kept washing her hands. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror with the same smiling face.

Her face had turned into the playful expression that belonged only to Yu Dou Xuan Zun.

The Yudou Xuanzun in the mirror was still smiling at Li Zhao.

"Hello, this is who I am now."

Li Zhao was startled and punched the mirror to pieces.

"No! I'm not you!"
