Chapter 21 If you have the guts, you'd better kill me now.
Old Madam Gu protected her three daughters-in-law and Ran Qingxuan and took a few steps back. The toughness on her face was gone. For the sake of her daughters-in-law with a clear name behind her, Old Madam Gu could only lower her posture.
"General Deng, although my Gu family has been convicted, we are an innocent family. If you do this, it will only make the world laugh at you!"
"The money is all here with me. I'll give it to you, but please let my daughters-in-law go!"
Deng Zhuo knew for sure that they would not dare to resist, so he threatened them a little and they immediately showed a satisfied smile. However, despite Madam Gu's pleading, Deng Zhuo still did not intend to let them go.
"I'm giving you face, right? This general is now a favorite of the emperor. I personally search your body, which shows my respect for you criminals. If you are unwilling, why not let my brothers do it together?"
The women of the Gu family were chaste by nature, and such obscene language made them feel extremely ashamed and angry.
"Deng Zhuo, you will not die well. I will fight you today even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
Old Madam Gu was very close to Deng Zhuo. When she said this, she immediately pulled out the knife hidden in her sleeve and stabbed him.
But Deng Zhuo is an adult man and a military general after all. How could he be intimidated by a woman like Madam Gu?
Seeing Deng Zhuo raising his foot and kicking Madam Gu hard in the heart, Ran Qingxuan moved quickly, rushed forward and pulled the man away, but he himself was kicked hard.
The sisters-in-law were already frightened out of their wits and had no time to react. They could only watch Ran Qingxuan roll to Gu Yanchen's side.
When sister-in-law Zhou Furong squatted down to support her, her dress just blocked Deng Zhuo's view. Ran Qingxuan was helped up, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Yanchen staring at her with his eyes half opened.
This guy woke up pretty quickly. I guess I'll have to give him more sedatives next time...
Just as he was thinking, Ran Qingxuan suddenly felt a surge in his throat. After swallowing a mouthful of blood, he shook his head slightly at Gu Yanchen with a firm look.
Once he makes a move, no one in the Gu family will ever be able to turn things around!
Gu Yanchen lay on the cold ground, his eyes instantly turning blood red.
He understood the meaning in Ran Qingxuan's eyes. Once he got up, Deng Zhuo would definitely die, but in this case, the Gu family would no longer exist!
Ran Qingxuan was helped to stand up by his sister-in-law Zhou Furong. He had eaten something, but his body was still a little weak...
According to his skills in his previous life, this kick would not have been able to reach her, but every time Ran Qingxuan stood up suddenly, he felt darkness in front of his eyes. This time, he could only try his best to let Madam Gu avoid it.
Deng Zhuo saw someone committing suicide and looked indifferently at the person he kicked away.
The woman who stood up was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with jet-black hair half tied up, skin as white as snow, bright eyes, and a little bit of red lips stained with blood, which made people even more distracted.
Deng Zhuo's eyes lit up involuntarily. He had no idea that there was such a stunning beauty in the Gu Mansion!
Seeing the person in front of him glaring at him, Deng Zhuo gave an obscene smile and walked forward to tease him.
"There are only three widows in the Gu family. I wonder if the young lady is visiting the Gu family. It's very chaotic here now. How about... I order someone to send the young lady away?"
Deng Zhuo saw that she didn't have her hair tied up in a bun and thought she was a relative of the widow of the Gu family. If that was true, then it would be much easier to deal with.
He was thinking happily in his mind when Ran Qingxuan spit at him without any hesitation.
"Tui~, have you memorized the laws of Northern Qi?
Chapter 5, Article 14 of the Northern Qi Code states that officials who are assigned to conduct property searches must not take advantage of the chaos to seize money and property found in the homes of criminals, must not harm the families of criminals at will, and must not commit any inappropriate acts against their families!
You have committed all of these offenses. Do you believe that as long as someone wants to, this matter will soon reach the ears of the emperor? ”
As a court official, how could Deng Zhuo not be aware of the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty? He just thought that these women who never left the house would not pay attention to these things at all.
Who would have thought that a teenage girl would know everything so clearly? In front of so many people, he really couldn't be too presumptuous.
After all, even though he can keep an eye on Gu Yanchen, there will also be someone watching him behind his back!
But when he looked at Ran Qingxuan's beautiful face, he was unwilling to let him go, so he took a few steps forward and lowered his voice.
"I don't care whether you know it or not. I will definitely take one of them away today. If you don't want to see one of them go with me, then you will do it!"
"In this case, I may not pursue their crime of hiding money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ran Qingxuan was biting her teeth to pieces. This was the first time she had met such a despicable person in her entire life. If her teammates had met him, they would have shot him to death!
"Deng Zhuo, if you dare, the Gu family will be exiled. My eldest brother and my father will definitely go to see you off. If you dare to take people away, I will tell you the truth. If you still want to stay in the military camp, you'd better consider the consequences!"
The second sister-in-law Chang Yue'e protected Ran Qingxuan behind her and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, but this time when the Chang family was mentioned again, Deng Zhuo was not as fearful as before.
"Stop talking nonsense. If I want, your family won't be able to see even a hair of yours. Even if they do, do you think I will let you speak?"
"Don't think that just because you know a little bit about Northern Qi laws, you can speak nonsense in front of me. You are still young!"
Deng Zhuo seemed to be ready to throw the jar into the ground, but in reality he was just threatening verbally. If he really did that, he would probably suffer.
When the women of the Gu family heard this, they rushed forward and protected Ran Qingxuan behind them. Ran Qingxuan saw their trembling shoulders and became furious. He subconsciously took out a pocket pistol from the space.
But at this moment, Ran Qingxuan thought of the Northern Qi law that he had just subconsciously said. Maybe it was the original owner's memory, but the source of the memory...
His eyes suddenly widened, and Ran Qingxuan walked up to Deng Zhuo and stopped despite the attempts of his sisters-in-law to stop him.
“Pah…”
A crisp slap was heard, and everyone in the Gu family was stunned. Deng Zhuo, who had not reacted, was also stunned.
"You...you...little bitch...you dare to hit me at this time?"
Ran Qingxuan sneered and said in a deep voice.
"I'll hit you if I want to. If you have the guts, you'd better kill me now, otherwise..."
Deng Zhuo didn't understand why the woman who had just been protected suddenly wasn't afraid of death anymore. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Ran Qingxuan staring at him with a smile.
"General Deng, how about taking a look at the list of people exiled by the Gu family?"
Deng Zhuo was stunned, and quickly took out the list of exiles in his arms and compared them one by one.
"Gu Yanchen... Gu Ruoliu... Zhou Furong... Chang Yue'e... Chen Wan'er... Ran..."
Deng Zhuo put away the list in his hand, and his eyes changed again and again when he looked at Ran Qingxuan, but then he smiled again, which surprised Ran Qingxuan a little.
