Chapter 78 Don’t you feel you owe me anything?
Deng Youning couldn't let him die so easily before he paid for his uncle's life.
The Jingzhao Prefecture had just announced the punishment for Gu and the groom, and she felt it necessary to let Deng Zheng know.
Looking from afar through the archway, Deng Zheng was sitting on a recliner under a tree with his back hunched.
He looked like he had been seriously ill and his hair had turned white.
The middle-aged man, who was just around forty years old, looked a little more vicissitudes of life than Han Qiongyue.
"My Lord, the servants said you don't want to eat or drink?"
"I heard that you requested an imperial decree to go to Bianyang to suppress the bandits. If you starve yourself to death before the suppression of the bandits, the emperor will blame you, and my grandmother and I will suffer along with you."
Deng Youning's tone was full of sarcasm and blame.
The whole family deserves it!
Deng Zheng looked up blankly and stared at her.
Although he didn't show it too much, Deng Youning could clearly see from his eyes the immense hatred he had for her.
She smiled disdainfully.
"You have no right to look at me like that!"
"Since I came back home, how have you and your family treated me? Don't you feel that you owe me anything?"
"Compared to you, who was able to kill your own brother at such a young age, all I did was to make the truth known to the public."
When Deng Zheng heard her mention the words "killing his own brother", his eyes became bloodshot and his whole body trembled.
He stood up suddenly, his lips turning white with shock.
"You, what do you know?"
He pressed Deng Youning's shoulders hard and questioned angrily.
The look he gave Deng Youning was like that of a demon from hell who was about to eat someone.
The incident happened without anyone knowing, and my grandmother also helped to deal with it cleanly.
Besides, more than 30 years have passed, he can’t do it. He doesn’t believe that Deng Youning will find any clues!
If an ordinary girl was in this state, she would have been frightened speechless.
But Deng Youning glared at him and grabbed his hand that was pressing on her right shoulder.
Deng Zheng's wrist bones creaked when he squeezed them hard.
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish!"
"My Lord, please remember to close the doors and windows tightly when you go to sleep at night. If you wake up in the middle of the night and the ghosts come to take your life, I won't be able to exorcise them."
She said in a warning tone, then turned around and tried to leave.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't said anything about Gu's matter yet, so he stopped and said:
"By the way, your good wife, Mrs. Gu, will be executed in half a month."
"The groom she truly loved will be executed in three days."
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful! A dignified Duke of Zhenguo is no match for a groom."
She took one last look at Deng Zheng, gave him a look of pity, and then left with satisfaction.
Deng Zheng was left alone, crying silently.
He took out a piece of letter from his arms. It was the letter that the leader of Qianji Pavilion asked Deng Youning to pass on that day.
The letter was written in Deng Ren's tone, asking him to come to Bianyang County.
He was also wondering, could it be that his brother didn't die that year?
Therefore, he would bring 80% of Deng's army to suppress the bandits this time, and he would definitely clear Bianyang County.
Deng Ren was lucky enough to survive back then, so now, let him die again!
If he is a human, let his bones be crushed to dust; if he is a ghost, let his soul be shattered!
Turning around and seeing the pot of daisies that Gu usually loved the most, he clenched the letter in his hand and spoke:
"Madam, no one can take your life before the Duke of this country lets you die!"
Yesterday, when the incident happened, influenced by Deng Youning and so many people present, he did resent the Gu family.
But after a night of consideration, he found that he still loved Gu deeply and couldn't bear to let her die.
He packed up the valuables in the room and sent someone to pawn them.
The money in the mansion is currently managed by his mother. If he wants to save his wife, he can only find another way.
It was common to bribe the Jingzhao Prefecture with money and replace the death row prisoners during execution.
If there is no room for her in the mansion, I can always raise her outside.
This time, he saved her life and saved her from death. The lady will definitely treat him wholeheartedly!
*
Three days later, the incident took place at the execution ground.
The groom Zhang Zhan was hanged on the spot, and the trustworthy Deng Yi also went to watch the execution.
After leaving the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he asked the temporary servant who came with him to find a nice courtyard to rent.
During these three days, without the constraints of the Deng family, he lived a very carefree life.
He is a lustful and gambling person.
Now, he hangs out in gambling houses during the day and stays in brothels at night. He is so happy!
The young servant who came out with him also enjoyed it together with him, relying on his light.
Anyway, the porcelain and jade they brought from the Deng family would be enough for them to live a lifetime if they pawned them.
"Sir, your father is leaving today. Don't you want to go and say a few words to him?"
Looking at the groom on the gallows, the servant reminded Deng Yi.
Deng Yi was very dissatisfied with his address to the groom and glared at him.
"Those lowly people are not my fathers. Since Deng Zheng doesn't want me anymore, I will have no father from now on."
"The Deng family, wait for me. I will be famous all over the world in the future. Don't even think about getting close to me!"
He was in a restaurant near the execution ground, and through the side window on the second floor, he could clearly see the execution ground.
At this time, Zhang Zhan had been hung up, and the people who were watching the excitement were pointing fingers at this thief who seduced a married woman.
More people felt sorry for what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
In this prosperous capital, the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of a noble family happens in the blink of an eye!
As ordinary people living in this prosperous city, they are fortunate to be able to live and work in peace and contentment throughout their lives.
What Deng Yi said to the servant was heard clearly by a young man at the next table.
When he heard that Deng Yi still wanted to become famous, he smiled sarcastically.
Such a fool and dandy can't even survive without the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so how can he talk about being famous all over the world?
ridiculous!
However, this is exactly what he can take advantage of!
It just so happens that I don’t have much money left for drinking recently!
His father didn't give him money, and his master didn't let him spend it.
He came to Deng Yi's table carrying a wine jug and a wine glass.
Deng Yi had originally not intended to pay attention to him, but when he saw that he was wearing Xiangyun brocade produced by Qingzhou Mu family Xiangyunfang, which was priceless, he reluctantly gave him a look.
This gentleman's name is Mu Hao, and he is the youngest son of the Mu family in Qingzhou, the richest family in the East.
He asked Deng Yi to invest in a business, and he talked about it in a grandiose way, saying that the investment could be recovered in one month, and that if he invested one hundred taels of silver, he could get back three hundred taels!
Deng Yi was drunk and the servant didn't understand business, so he signed the agreement with the young man in a daze, and gave all the money he brought from the Deng family to a man he had just met for less than half a day.
Even when the man cheated him of his money and left, he was still bowing and asking him to help him make more money.
Mu Hao left the restaurant happily.
His feet were as fast as the wind, and he used all his lightness skills to turn around and enter a house in a nearby alley with a plaque that read "Yan Mansion".
As soon as I came in, I was stopped by a middle-aged man with a tall and burly back.
"Drinking again?" the man asked unhappily.
"Hey, Master, I didn't drink in vain. I got several hundred taels of silver and even avenged you and my junior brother in disguise!"
“Although Deng Yi is not Deng Zheng’s biological son, he has called that man his father for eighteen years. The son has to pay for the father’s debt. If I cheat him out of some money, I won’t kill him!”
Mu Hao also generously gave the man three silver bills.
The man didn't take it, but praised him for being sensible.
"How are the preparations going in Bianyang?"
"Master, don't worry. This move will kill two birds with one stone!"
At this point, the young man looked worried.
"only……"
