Chapter 81: He was cuckolded for 18 years, but he was quite happy with it
Deng Zheng touched his forehead and was indeed sweating profusely.
That kid just now really scared me!
Damn Deng Youning!
He suddenly realized that since Deng Youning knew what happened that year, his mother must also know it.
The women's army in the hands of mother...
It’s over!
Deng Youning led the little boy out and exchanged glances with Han Qiongyue in the dark.
Li Tianzhuo came forward and asked with concern, "Duke, did he not embarrass you?"
"To embarrass me? Does he have the ability to do so?"
Deng Youning raised an eyebrow at him.
Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but chuckle softly. He liked the hot temper of Deng Youning.
"Azhuo, send this kid away. He was beaten by Lao Deng. Remember to give him more money."
It was too late, and it was not convenient for Deng Youning, a girl in the boudoir, to go out. Li Tianzhuo happened to be here, so it would be a waste not to use him.
Li Tianzhuo nodded in agreement, "I just don't understand how Deng Zheng could tell the difference?"
Deng Youning also shook her head.
Maybe they are just not professional enough and can't act like them.
This time she failed to force Deng Zheng to confess, and she had already alerted the enemy, so she would need to look for other opportunities in the future.
*
On the day of departure for Bianyang, the Deng family army was ready to go and waiting for Deng Zheng outside the city.
The Duke of Zhenguo, wearing armor, holding a spear, and riding a horse, left the city in a high-profile and majestic manner.
The common people also heard that he had asked for orders to suppress the bandits, and anyone who saw Deng Zheng on the road would stop and salute him.
The Duke of Zhenguo, who has devoted his life to his country and his people, is now a hero loved by the people.
On the tower, Yan An looked at the majestic Deng Zheng and snorted contemptuously, "How hypocritical."
"Master, it's time for us to set off."
His servant had already prepared the carriage, and they seemed to be going out of the city as well.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
As soon as Deng Zheng left, Li Tianzhuo's carriage arrived at the back door of Deng's house.
He made an appointment with Deng Youning to pick her up today and take her to Bianyang to see what Deng Zheng was up to by asking for orders to suppress the bandits.
Han Qiongyue was a little worried and kept walking Deng Youning to the door.
When Li Tianzhuo saw her coming out, he hurried forward and bowed.
This was the first time Deng Youning had traveled far away since returning to Beijing, so Han Qiongyue naturally had to nag her a little more.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Isn't there Master Li?"
Deng Youning winked at Li Tianzhuo as she spoke, asking him to say a few words of assurance to Han Qiongyue.
Li Tianzhuo awkwardly said, "Don't worry, old lady. I will take good care of Ningning."
Han Qiongyue saw all the little expressions between the two of them.
Of course she believed that as long as Li Tianzhuo was there, her granddaughter would be absolutely safe. However, this trip would take at least seven or eight days. She felt reluctant when she thought about not being able to see her granddaughter for so many days.
Only after the carriage had gone away did Han Qiongyue return to the yard with the help of Nanny Dou.
The interior of Li Tianzhuo's carriage was very large. He set up a small table and was sipping tea leisurely.
"Azhuo, what do you know about the Qianji Pavilion in Ghost City?"
Deng Youning's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.
Li Tianzhuo: "I heard that they have some relationship with the Qianji Villa in Qingzhou. Why are you asking about this?"
Deng Youning briefly recounted the incident a few days ago when the Master of Qianji Pavilion sent Deng a letter of inquiry.
There was also a hint of uneasiness in Li Tianzhuo's eyes.
It seems that the news in this letter is more important to Deng Zheng than his life.
"Your good sister Deng Xuelian will be returning to Beijing soon."
"I have sent someone to kill her on the way."
Li Tianzhuo always manages to plan more ahead.
Deng Youning nodded in approval.
"One more thing, don't be angry after hearing this."
"My people found out that your good father bribed the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture and randomly found a death row prisoner to exchange for Gu."
"We failed to play ghost that night. I guess the Jingzhao prefect leaked the news to Deng Zheng in advance."
Li Tianzhuo held the teacup and thought about these things. He felt that he would feel choked and panic if he drank it.
Deng Youning just smiled disdainfully.
Deng Zheng really loves Gu to his core. He is quite happy to be cuckolded for eighteen years!
However, the fact that the Jingzhao prefect could be easily bribed by Deng Zheng might also be due to the prince's intention.
I just don’t know whether Deng Zheng knows that Deng Xuelian has returned to Beijing.
"Azhuo, it may not be that easy for you to kill Deng Xuelian on the way," Deng Youning reminded.
Li Tianzhuo tapped his slender fingers rhythmically on his legs and closed his eyes thoughtfully.
When the carriage passed by a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, Xiu Ming suddenly stopped.
"My Lord, County Lady, do you think that man looks like Deng Yi?"
He pointed at the man who was wolfing down a roasted chicken at the entrance of the dilapidated temple and asked curiously.
Deng Youning stuck her head out.
Couldn't the man who was missing an arm and looked so miserable be his half brother?
"What a narrow road for enemies to cross!" Li Tianzhuo also sighed.
Deng Yi's luxurious clothes were gone, and he was only wearing a dirty white undershirt. The shoes on his feet were replaced by a pair of tattered straw sandals that didn't fit his feet.
Ever since the servant robbed him of his money and ran away that night, the landlord of the house he rented also kicked him out.
He also thought about supporting himself and finding a job first.
But his identity and experience were known to everyone in the capital. Besides, he was missing an arm and his leg was broken by the people from Tianfulou. Naturally, he was not as good as a healthy person at work, so no place was willing to hire him.
After wandering the streets for a day, he was starving and begged for food among the beggars.
Finally, a kind-hearted person gave him a copper coin or two. When the other beggars saw this, they rushed up to him, robbed him of his money, and stripped off his clothes and shoes.
With an arm missing and covered in wounds, he had no power to fight back.
He was beaten worse than the rats in the alley.
He has been living like this for the past few days.
He hadn't eaten for several days, and even these straw sandals were picked up from someone else's discarded items.
Until today, when he saw Deng Zheng's team going out to fight bandits, he thought of his former subordinates in the Deng family army, and thought that maybe he could ask them for help.
But what awaited him was still humiliation.
He'd really had enough.
Just now, he found this dilapidated temple and discovered the beggar's chicken hidden here by other beggars.
The chicken tasted so delicious that he even ate up the chicken head and butt, which he would never touch before.
When he was still enjoying himself, the beggar whose chicken was stolen came back.
Three or five people started punching and kicking Deng Yi again.
"ah!"
Screams were heard, and the only intact arms and legs were broken alive.
“You deserve it!”
"I don't ask him to give me half of the brotherly love he gave to Deng Xuelian. If he hadn't tried to kill me so many times, I might have spared his life."
Deng Youning sat in the carriage and watched indifferently as Deng Yi was beaten until his teeth fell out and he vomited blood.
The pain from broken tendons in my arms and legs and from my hoarse throat from being burned in my previous life seemed to have finally been alleviated.
Li Tianzhuo, who knew what Deng Youning had experienced in her previous life, felt relieved when he saw this scene.
Making Deng Yi suffer torture gives him a greater sense of revenge than taking his life directly.
Deng Yi seemed to have noticed Deng Youning in the carriage. He shouted with all his might, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Save me!"
Ying Shi defended Deng Youning and said to Deng Yi: "When you hired someone to kill our young lady, why didn't you think of her as your sister? Bah!"
"Xiu Ming, drive the car!"
Deng Youning lowered the curtain of the car window and gave an order.
Xiu Ming obediently rode the horse and drove the carriage.
Watching the carriage go away, Deng Yi's last hope was finally shattered.
At the moment he was beaten to death, he seemed to see his parents and his sister Lian'er coming to take him home.
