The constables responded and walked over to Gu Sang. They reached out to grab her arm and drag her away from the corner.
Upon seeing this, Gu Sang immediately shouted, "Stop! You can't do this!"
"Oh, so you're resisting now?"
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, the official couldn't help but sneer.
Gu Sang's expression changed, and then she fell silent, unsure of what to say.
"Hehe, you're quite well-behaved."
Seeing that Gu Sang remained silent, the officer couldn't help but smile and say something.
Hearing this, Gu Sang's lips moved slightly. She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't utter a single word. At this moment, she was terrified, and her heart was filled with fear and dread.
Seeing Gu Sang remain silent, a cruel smile crept onto the officer's face. He then beckoned to Gu Sang to come to his side and gestured for her to come closer. Finally, he reached out and touched Gu Sang's neck.
Ah~
Gu Sang was terrified by the man's actions. Her face turned deathly pale, and she cried out for help. But just then, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps.
"Snap!"
With a soft sound, Gu Sang felt her arms, which had been tied behind her back, being untied, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The footsteps were light and rhythmic; in this world, Gu Sang only heard them from one person.
That's Li Rong.
In that instant, Gu Sang felt an indescribable sense of security.
It's as if Li Rong alone could stop a thousand troops.
Even if there are ten thousand people, I have nothing to fear as long as he is there.
"Seeing that you hadn't come back for so long, I knew something must have happened, so I immediately followed the mark you left. Luckily, you're smart," Li Rong said, relaxing behind Gu Sang.
Upon hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang immediately turned around. The moment she turned around, a look of joy appeared on her face. Because, at this moment, standing in front of her was the person she had been longing for. Moreover, she could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Li Rong, as well as that familiar scent, which she could never forget in her entire life.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang couldn't help but burst into tears, her eyes filled with tears of emotion.
Why are you crying?
Seeing the tears on Gu Sang's cheeks, Li Rong frowned. He didn't know what had happened, but looking at the tears on Gu Sang's face, he guessed that Gu Sang must have encountered some trouble.
Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Li Rong's eyes. He knew that what those officials had done to her earlier must have offended her. Therefore, he was very angry and furious.
Upon hearing Li Rong's question, Gu Sang did not answer but lowered her head. Her heart was filled with guilt and shame, and she dared not look up at Li Rong's face.
Seeing Gu Sang with her head down, Li Rong frowned. A surge of anger rose in his heart. In his memory, Gu Sang had always been proud. She rarely cried or shed tears. Even when she was arrested and forced to marry those officials, she silently endured and waited for a chance to escape. She never shed a tear because, in her opinion, she neither cried nor cared to shed tears.
But today, she actually cried, and cried so much. What happened to her? Could it be that she was bullied by those bastards?
The moment this thought crossed Li Rong's mind, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, causing him immense pain and discomfort.
"You, get over here! How dare you hurt Gu Sang? You're asking for death!" Li Rong roared.
Upon hearing Li Rong's loud shout, the officials trembled in fright, their expressions changing drastically. They all turned to look, and in their eyes, they saw a person dressed in black clothes and wearing a bamboo hat, exuding an eerie aura.
Li Rong quickly stepped out from behind Gu Sang.
The moment he stepped out of the shadows, Li Rong, dressed in a black cloak, stopped in his tracks.
"Huh? Who are you to meddle in other people's business? You're asking for death."
Upon seeing Li Rong, the officer stared in surprise, then shouted loudly.
"Hmph, you actually dared to hurt Gu Sang, you are incredibly audacious."
Li Rong spoke coldly, his tone extremely icy. Upon hearing Li Rong's words, the officials' expressions changed drastically, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"Who...who are you to dare meddle in our business?" a soldier stammered. Although he was terrified, he still managed to suppress his fear.
"Hmph, meddling in other people's business? Not only will I meddle in your business, but I'll also kill every single one of you!"
Upon hearing the official's words, Li Rong's expression changed drastically. He glared at the official and said coldly.
Li Rong's words immediately made the officials tremble with fear.
Upon hearing Li Rong's words, the officials couldn't help but feel a chill.
Although they were indeed officials, they were, after all, ordinary people. They didn't have much power. Their families couldn't even afford to offend officials of the county magistrate's rank, because the county magistrate's backer was the Prince's Mansion in the capital, while their fathers were just minor officials, not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, if they were ordinary citizens, they might not have to worry, but they were government officials.
In normal times, they could certainly be arrogant and lawless, but they are, after all, government officials, and there are many rules that restrict them within the government.
They were well aware that what they were doing was illegal.
If they were ordinary people, they could act with impunity because they only needed to spend illicit money to bribe some government officials and get them to do some private favors for them. Their lives were quite comfortable. However, since these officials were government employees, their lives were not so comfortable, and it would lead to very serious consequences.
