The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 82: Chew Them to Pieces

"No!" Jun Baojie pointed fearfully at a place not far away, "Look at those people!"

Xiao Baojing looked over.

A few drunken clerks were having fun with the goblins.

They caught the firecracker spirits in red and deliberately set their hair on fire with torches.

As the hair burned, the firecracker spirit exploded and countless red paper clothes floated all over the sky like fluttering red butterflies.

"Interesting, interesting!"

The petty officials laughed unscrupulously.

Another person caught a little firecracker spirit, grabbed his ankles and lifted him upside down, then said to his companion with a smile: "I bet a hundred dollars that the firecracker I set off will definitely be louder than yours!"

"Daddy!"

"Mother!"

The little firecracker spirit shook his pigtails and cried and screamed for help.

But the torch had already set his braid on fire.

The fire spread quickly and burned him in an instant.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, he exploded with a scream!
Another clerk laughed and threw a hundred coins to the man: "It's quite loud! Come on, let's compete again!"

He leaned over and scooped up a small firecracker spirit that was as high as his knees.

The little firecracker spirit cried loudly and struggled desperately in his hands. She covered the pigtails her mother had tied for her and called out in a baby voice, "Daddy! Mommy! Save me! Nannan is scared!"

“Shut up!” The drunken clerk spat on her little face. “We’ve locked up your father and mother a long time ago! We fed them breeding pigs estrus drugs, and they are busy making little firecrackers these days! It’s so boring underground, so we plan to let them make more little firecrackers, and then tie you all up and make a long string of firecrackers to present to the Fourth Princess and set them off on the day when the Wanshou Terrace is completed! If the Fourth Princess is happy, she might transfer us out! Hahahaha!”

The soldiers imagined their life after leaving here, and their faces suddenly lit up with smiles and complacency.

Xiao Baojing was stunned.

She had seen this group of firecracker spirits on the streets of Yejing.

They thought that by working in Mansudae, they could have enough food to eat and get paid, so they came here with their families.

Perhaps he was thrown into the underground to work because he was disliked by the officials outside.

But they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was hell.

"Fire the cannon!"

The petty official was so excited that he raised the torch and was about to set fire to the little firecracker spirit's pigtails.

"Don't hurt my child!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard from the distance.

Xiao Baojing looked over quickly.

The little firecracker spirit's mother, with her clothes disheveled and her hair in disarray and her belly bulging, stumbled over to him.

Her face was still flushed, her eyes were tearful and she looked embarrassed. She screamed, "Let go of my child!"

All the sleeping goblins lying on the ground woke up and looked at her blankly.

Another clerk chased after her and shouted angrily, "Her husband committed suicide!"

Several petty officials looked at each other and laughed maliciously: "It's only been a few days and he couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide?! Tsk, he is so useless that he doesn't know how to enjoy his blessings! I'm afraid he didn't commit suicide, but died of pleasure on a woman's belly? Hahahahaha!"

They told jokes that they thought were funny.

The clerk shook the little firecracker spirit again and said with a grin, "Hey, your father is dead! I'll set off a firecracker for you to celebrate!"

The flames licked the little firecracker's pigtails.

In just a moment, there was a loud "bang" and the little firecracker spirit exploded with a scream!

The sky is full of floating red paper clothes.

The mother of the little firecracker spirit was half-dressed and trembling all over. Her thin and pale legs made it difficult for her to even stand. She stared blankly at the paper clothes around her.

This is, her child.

But half a month ago, their family was still gathered at home happily, looking forward to a better life in the future.

Even though their home was just a cave deep in the mountains, even though the family was extremely poor, their whole family was there, talking and laughing every day. She and her husband watched the children playing and fighting, and their days were as good as if they were soaking in a honey pot.

She broke down and screamed, "Why do you do this to us?! We just want to live a better life, we just want to beg for a meal, just want to earn some money to repair our home! Why, why set up such a scam?! What did we do wrong?!"

Blood trickled down the edges of her pale calves.

There was clearly no stealing or robbing.

Obviously, I didn't break the law.

He lives his life seriously like a human being and doesn't harm others just because he is a monster.

Why would the fourth princess treat their family like this? !
"Why?" The clerk rolled his eyes in disdain. "You are goblins. Goblins are born lowly and inferior to us!"

He raised his whip and pointed at the surrounding goblins with disdain: "Look at you all, you look so weird, and you can't wait to come to Yejing when you heard there are benefits. You are greedy by nature! Don't you think about it, with your lowly status, are you qualified to work in Wanshoutai?! You have fallen to this point because you are too greedy! All this is your own fault!"

"Greed?" The mother shed two lines of blood and tears, her heart was broken. "We just want to have enough food to eat, just want to have some savings, just want our children to live a better life, how can it be considered greed?"

The monsters around didn't say anything, but raised the back of their hands to wipe their tears sadly.

They are all down-to-earth monsters who have learned to live like humans since birth, supporting themselves by farming and doing long-term and short-term jobs. They have never stolen, robbed or harmed others just because they know a little tricks and sorcery.

If not for the desire to live a better life, who would be willing to leave their hometown and come to the distant and unfamiliar Yejing?
But in the eyes of these petty officials, they are not worthy of even this tiny wish, otherwise they would be greedy.

The huge mechanical gears that support the Wanshou Platform slowly rotate in mid-air.

It was like a mouthful of sharp teeth, chewing them up, bones included, and devouring them completely.

“That’s not right.”

In the eerie silence, Xiao Baojing suddenly spoke.

She stood up, her fair face had long been stained by the coal, but her almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally bright.

She said, "The court is eliminating demons because some evil demons have seriously affected people's lives. But why should we eliminate all the demons at once without distinguishing right from wrong? This is not right."

It's not right to kill with one blow.

She looked at the group of petty officials and said quietly, "You said you would let us go after we have worked for 20 years. Is that just a trick you use? You want to trap us here to death, until you squeeze out every bit of value from us. While trapping us to death, you offer food and lodging and pay to attract more monsters to Wanshou Terrace. Is this Xiao Nanjia's plan to exorcise monsters?"

The petty officials never expected that this little girl could actually expose their prince's conspiracy.

The surrounding monsters were horrified when they heard this, and they stood up and questioned the clerks.

"You...you are not allowed to talk!"

The petty officials waved their whips to try to suppress them, but hundreds of monsters gradually gathered together, as if twisted into a strong hemp rope, which made them feel frightened.

They looked at each other, and finally turned around and ran!
There is a ladder underground that leads directly to Manshou Terrace.

They climbed up, made faces at the monsters, and shouted, "Just wait!"

The ladder gradually rose into the air, and the monsters underground were helpless.

Jun Baojie took off his green dress, wrapped it around the mother's shoulders, and looked at Xiao Baojing helplessly: "Little Mirror, what should we do next?"

Xiao Baojing gritted his teeth and said, "Go find the prince. He is different from the fourth princess. He will not watch so many innocent monsters die!"

Xiao Nanjia wants to kill all the monsters and ghosts.

However, Xiao Qian supports the coexistence of spirits and humans in the same world.

The prince is kind.

If he knew about Wanshoutai's conspiracy, he might come forward to stop Xiao Nanjia.

"But..." Jun Baojie raised his head and looked at the unreachable sky, "How can I see the prince?"
