Chapter 98: I am here to help suppress the bandits
Deng Youning didn't want to listen to his nonsense and started fighting with him.
When the dagger stopped at Deng Yan'an's hand that was tightly holding her wrist, Deng Yan'an shouted in confusion: "Do you love him so much? Can't live without him?!"
Ever since Deng Youning returned to Beijing, the father and son have been observing in secret.
He knew Deng Youning's style of doing things very well.
In Deng Yan'an's impression, she is not a person who is swayed by emotions.
"Even if Li Tianzhuo is dead, I will go in and collect his body. This trip has nothing to do with the relationship between children."
"As the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, he didn't need to be involved in the incident at the Crazy Lion Village, but everything he did tonight was for me and the innocent people who were imprisoned."
Deng Youning's tone was serious and righteous.
Hearing this, Deng Yan'an gradually let go of her hand.
Just as she was about to enter the fire, she suddenly heard a young man's clear laughter behind her.
"Haha, your Zhenguo Mansion is really lively!"
"I have watched this play for a while now. It is really wonderful!"
Countless well-trained masked men in black flew out from the darkness.
There are not many of them, but they are all agile and seem to have good martial arts skills.
Behind these men in black, a nobleman in gorgeous clothes gradually walked out.
That man was full of ruffian spirit and looked like a dude no matter how you looked at him.
"Wu Yanei?"
Deng Yan'an, a member of the Imperial Academy, immediately recognized this playboy.
Even Jun Wenci had to call him uncle when he saw the queen's younger brother.
"The love between County Princess Youning and our Lord Li is truly... deep as the sea!"
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet."
Wu Yanei said this and signaled his men to carry Li Tianzhuo out.
He has fallen into a coma.
Maybe because he escaped from the fire too awkwardly, he was covered with black smoke and looked dusty and dirty.
"A Zhuo!"
Deng Youning was extremely anxious and ran forward quickly.
"Don't worry, County Lord."
Wu Yanei stopped Deng Youning and looked at her with amusement.
For some reason, although it was the first time he met this person, Deng Youning felt that this person was not a good person and was afraid that he had bad intentions.
She calmed herself down, her eyes gleaming with coldness, and asked cautiously, "What do you want?"
Wu Yanei sneered, pointed at the Deng family members present and the Deng family army who had just arrived, and shook his head.
"You guys ruined the business that our Wu family worked so hard to build, and you still want to ask me what's wrong?"
Deng Ren heard this and asked angrily, "These bandits are so rampant, and you are the one supporting them behind the scenes!"
Wu Yanei said nothing, but just sneered.
Deng Yanan reacted quickly, "No, Jiao Erlang will send the captured girls to a big buyer, and that buyer should be him!"
Everyone was on alert, ready to defend against the enemy at all times.
Wu Yanei finally nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of him being the top scholar three years ago and the university scholar today, he is extremely intelligent!
"Bring them all up here."
He said calmly to the subordinates around him.
Soon, another large group of people were brought up.
They were Yingshi, Xiuming, and those girls and common people who had already escaped.
Li Tianzhuo's guess really came true. These bandits did have a backup plan at the foot of the mountain.
It was obvious that they had experienced a tough battle. Yingshi and Xiuming were both injured, and their clothes were stained with blood.
Xiu Ming has fallen into coma, but Ying Shi is still struggling to hold on.
After seeing Deng Youning, she was very excited and struggled a few times, trying to break free, but those men in black seemed to be very skilled in martial arts and she was completely unable to break free.
"Miss……"
Ying Shi called out to Deng Youning.
Looking at her injuries, Deng Youning felt distressed and the anger in his heart was ignited again.
"Yingshi, what are you doing..."
Before Deng Youning could finish her words, Ying Shi interrupted her and said, "Miss, Ying Shi failed to do his job well and betrayed the trust of you and Master Li. Sun Laoliu has died, but these girls and the people were not seriously injured."
Following her words, Deng Youning glanced at the people again, and indeed the number matched when they left just now.
The only one missing was Sun Laoliu.
He must be dead. The Wu family thought he was useless, so they didn't bring him up the mountain.
"Wu Yanei, don't mess around!"
Deng Yan'an gave a warning look.
As a member of the royal family, it is impossible for him to break the law and kill people, especially when the person involved is Li Tianzhuo, a favorite of the emperor.
I'm afraid that even if his entire Wu family is implicated, they can't afford this price, right?
"Don't be so nervous. I'm here to help suppress the bandits."
"Kill these bandits in front of me and burn down the entire village. Remember, not a single piece of paper can be left behind!"
He glanced at the bandits who were being held by Deng's army.
Having said that, who wouldn’t understand?
He just wanted to destroy all evidence of the Wu family's collusion with the Crazy Lion Village to abduct and sell girls from decent families.
This prevented the Deng family and the Silver Dragon Guard from investigating any further.
We will never find any evidence of the Wu family’s guilt in this matter!
Deng's army is a group of useless people. They have been guarding the foot of the mountain for four or five days, but people can still come and go freely under their noses, which is no different from not guarding at all.
Deng Zheng went to the capital to suppress the bandits, and the whole capital was in an uproar. Naturally, the Wu family also got wind of the news, so they sent Wu Yanei to deal with it to avoid any future troubles.
After hearing Wu Yanei's condition, Deng Youning said without a second thought, "I promise you!"
To her, nothing is more important than the lives of those she cares about.
Moreover, in addition to Li Tianzhuo, Ying Shi and Xiu Ming, there were also the lives of more than a dozen innocent people.
"The county lady is such a straightforward person!"
Wu Yanei himself didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"I can agree to your terms, but tell us where the girl we bought is now."
For Deng Ren, it is not important to hold the Wu family accountable; what is important is to rescue the other victims.
Wu Yanei raised his eyebrows and said absentmindedly, "Alas, this capital is full of drunkenness and extravagance. Where those beauties went is not up to our Wu family to decide."
Does he mean that there is someone manipulating the Wu family?
Deng Yan'an frowned, and Deng Ren also pinched his nose thoughtfully.
Deng Youning glanced at the Deng family soldiers and captains from the corner of his eye. It seemed that they were unwilling to agree to Wu Yanei's deal.
Since they are unwilling to do it, I have no choice but to do it myself!
She quickly moved in front of the bandits and just waved her sleeves. All the bandits, including several members of the Deng family army who were escorting them, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground dead.
Seeing that she had already killed someone, Wu Yanei's men had already set fire to the village.
The evidence of collusion with the Wu family is mainly in the room of the second in command.
He only had to set fire to a few people's rooms.
After pouring the wine and lighting the fire, in less than half a minute, the fire merged with the fire in the meeting hall.
The subordinate who set the fire had not returned yet, but Wu Yanei was already very satisfied.
"very good!"
He raised a triumphant smile and signaled his men to retreat.
"Azhuo, Yingshi..."
Deng Youning hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Tianzhuo, and seeing that he was still unconscious, she was so worried that she couldn't help but cry.
"You Ning, now is not the time to talk. The fire will spread soon. We have to get down the mountain quickly."
Deng Ren was a little worried about Deng Youning's condition and gave her some advice in a soft voice.
His wife died early and he only had one child, Deng Yan'an. He didn't know how to get along with the little girl and was afraid of scaring Deng Youning.
