Chapter 372 Fortunately, you showed up in time
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lingzi's voice came from not far away. Behind him were a group of guards and the seven women.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Li immediately pointed his finger at Xiao Lingzi and others in a panic and shouted angrily:
"You...you dare to break into Li's Mansion without permission, please come and capture these people."
Hearing this, the servants of the Li Mansion gathered around them one after another. Before Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan could take action, several guards around them beat these servants to the ground in three blows.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhou waved his hands and shouted with a ferocious face:
"Come here, prepare arrows, and take down all these people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of officials rushed out from nowhere. They held bows and arrows and directly surrounded Luo Lan and others.
When Shui Chunhua in the crowd saw Luo Lan, her eyes rolled around and she shouted in surprise:
"Princess Yu, please save us quickly. This man named Li and these two people want to kill us alive."
Upon hearing this title, Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, while Rich Man Li said with a cold face and said hatefully:
"Master Zhou, don't listen to that girl's nonsense. How could Princess Yu be here? Arrest them quickly."
Seeing this, Mr. Zhou simply waved his arms again and shouted loudly and urgently:
"This woman dares to falsely claim that she is Princess Yu. Let me take her down. If she doesn't accept it, I'll shoot her to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials stepped forward. Xiao Lingzi approached Luo Lan and whispered:
"Princess, I will cover you and let Ah Cai and Ah Hong protect you and leave first. You can leave here smoothly and we can take care of them."
"But what to do with these women? If you really fight, you're afraid of hurting them."
"There is no other way now. We can only keep you safe first, and we will try our best to protect the rest."
"No, our trip is just to save them. If I leave alone and they are in danger, then our efforts will be wasted."
Speaking of this, she thought again of the aunt who gave them water and her longing eyes. If anything happened to Dani, the aunt would be sad.
So, she secretly decided in her heart that she could not leave alone without ensuring the safety of these women.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Xiao Lingzi persuaded her again,
"Don't worry, Princess. I will try my best to ensure the safety of each of them. You can leave here and return to Beijing first. We will arrive soon."
Hearing what Xiao Lingzi said, Luo Lan suddenly thought of the golden token Leng Yu gave her. That token might have a deterrent effect at this time.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, she heard the sound of horse hooves at the door, followed by someone shouting:
"Prince Yu has arrived."
As soon as the shouting ended, Leng Yu, who realized something was wrong here, jumped up from his horse, flew to Luo Lan, landed directly in front of her, wrapped her in his arms, and asked worriedly:
"Is your wife okay?"
Luo Lan looked at him with disbelief and asked in surprise:
"Ms. sir, why are you here?"
"I didn't trust you, so I came to take a look. Now it seems that I came to the right place."
When he said this, he looked coldly at the large number of officers and soldiers pouring in at the door. At this time, Mr. Zhou was so frightened that his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground. Rich Man Li also knelt down with him, a little at a loss.
After coming down, Master Yuan Gang wanted to leave quietly, but Ah Hou rushed over and controlled him.
Seeing this, the officials who were holding arrows didn't dare to block here. They lowered their heads and dropped the arrows in their hands and knelt down.
Leng Yu took two slow steps, came to Lord Zhou, and asked in a cold voice,
"As a parent official, you actually don't make decisions for the people. You, a parent official, have gone too far."
After saying this, he directly waved his hand and said, "Here comes someone, take off his official hat and clothes, and send him to Shuntian Mansion to await your fate."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and kowtowed in panic.
"Prince Yu, please spare Xiaguan. Xiaguan doesn't know that she is your princess, and Xiaguan has not done anything extraordinary. He just doesn't recognize Princess Yu. This is not enough...not enough to punish Xiaguan.
Get a job."
Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Leng Yu's words.
When Xiao Lingzi saw this, he pointed at him and asked in a cold voice,
"You didn't do anything extraordinary? How many innocent women from good families did you, together with Mr. Li and this fake mage, harm? Which of these women did not invite you to worship? You don't know which one was imprisoned? You still talked to
They are complicit in this and want to gather enough of these women to sell them to foreign countries as slaves and prostitutes. In my opinion, taking off your official title is an understatement, and you should be imprisoned in a prison for interrogation and execution."
Xiao Lingzi's words made Leng Yu, who had not yet had time to understand the matter clearly, look at him with wide eyes,
"General Ling, are you serious about this?"
Xiao Lingzi pointed at those women and replied righteously:
"It's true. Some of them heard what the man named Yuan Gang said."
Shui Chunhua was the first to step forward and identify:
"Yes, it was what Master Yuan Gang and Rich Master Li said. I overheard it by chance. Please ask Prince Yu to make the decision for us."
Mr. Zhou was obviously frightened by Xiao Lingzi's words. He trembled and buried his head directly on the ground, not daring to speak.
The seven women suddenly knelt down in front of Leng Yu and began to cry.
"Prince Yu, please make the decision for us."
Shui Chunhua wiped her tears and cried:
"We were originally married into the Li family, but who would have thought that after worshiping a rooster, we were locked in a secret room without even seeing the groom's face. Among us, we were locked up for the longest time.
The longest one has been more than a year, and the shortest one has been a few months. I beg you, you must punish Mr. Li and these two people and give us justice."
Several other women also started crying together,
"We didn't expect that marrying into the Li Mansion would be as pitiful as entering hell. They locked us in that dark room with no daylight. We could only wait in the dark all day long to die. We were given food once a day, and we were tied up and not allowed to move during the day.
, we wanted to go to the hut, but we had to wait until night, and those days were simply not a life for humans!"
"Uh-huh...please, Prince Yu, please make the decision for us! We have been wronged."
"..."
Listening to what these women said, Leng Yu suddenly waved his hand and shouted:
"General Ling, take all the people here to Shuntian Mansion and ask Mr. Yu to interrogate them personally."
Upon seeing this, Rich Man Li kowtowed vigorously and begged:
"Prince Yu, the ordinary people really have their reasons for everything. Could you please lend me a moment to speak?"
Looking at his shrewd eyes, Leng Yu snorted with his nose and stared at him, "Just say what you want here."
Seeing that Leng Yu was showing no mercy, Rich Man Li knelt close to him and whispered:
Chapter completed!
