After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

"This time we were able to wipe out the bandit den and get back the goods, thanks to your wisdom and bravery, and your decisiveness. Old Qian, let me offer you a toast."

Boss Qian held up his wine glass and gave Magistrate Dong a flattering smile, his belly, which looked like it was five months pregnant, trembled up and down as he stood up.

County Magistrate Dong waved his hand, pointed at the man sitting next to him who had been drinking silently, and said with a smile:

"No, we were able to wipe out the bandits so quickly this time thanks to Yan Qi. If it weren't for his great skills and courage, breaking into the bandit's lair alone and capturing the bandit leader alive, we wouldn't have been able to wipe out the bandit problem so quickly."

"Yes, yes, brother Li, heroes emerge from youth. Old Qian, let me offer you a toast."

As Boss Qian was speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and made another "Pooh" sound.

"Look at my memory. Now I should call Brother Li Li, Lieutenant Li. Lieutenant Li, I respect you, Old Qian."

Li Yanqi didn't even look at Boss Qian, he just picked up the wine jug, filled it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

Boss Qian did not feel embarrassed and applauded: "Li County Magistrate is very straightforward! I will toast you again."

Seeing that Li Yanqi was so easy to talk to today, everyone at the dinner table stood up and toasted the newly promoted county lieutenant. Li Yanqi accepted all the toasts and drank one cup after another without changing his expression.

Everyone drank to their heart's content and the banquet did not end until 11:00 p.m.

Li Yanqi didn't know how much he drank. He had never been drunk before, but he was in a really bad mood today. He actually experienced the feeling of being drunk for the first time. It felt like his feet were stepping on cotton and he couldn't find any solid ground. However, his mind was working very clearly.

He wanted to find Lin Yanyu, to beg her not to agree to He Zhiyuan's proposal, to kill He Zhiyuan, to beg her to marry him, to tell her that he would treat her well, and to swear to her that he would never make her angry again.

"Yes, I'm going to find her."

Thinking of this, Li Yanqi walked out of the guest house with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and saw Ma Xigui coming towards him with an anxious look on his face, "Brother! It's bad! Miss Lin is missing!"

Lin Yanyu didn't know that she had been unconscious all night and people were already looking for her everywhere.

I smelled a pungent fragrance while I was half asleep. My face felt numb and my head gradually became clear. I opened my eyes and saw a bright red color. My hands and feet were tied. I was terrified and struggled desperately, but I couldn't get free. I tried to call for help, but found that my mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth.

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

The people outside must have heard the noise, as the door creaked open and a thin little girl of about fourteen or fifteen walked in.

The little girl had an unsightly scar on her forehead and her face was covered with bruises and bruises.

It turned out to be Miss Du Ruo from the Du family, whom Mr. Du wanted to use to pay off the debt when Li Yanqi went to Yuhua County to collect the debt.

In order to prevent his son from being sold to Nanfeng Pavilion by Li Yanqi, Mr. Du paid off the debt of three thousand taels. With little money left in the family, he sold his daughter to Chunfengyuan in Yunlong County and disappeared with his son.

Later, Du Ruo was unwilling to receive customers and struggled desperately, but she hit her head against a pillar and got her face disfigured. Fortunately, she survived and was severely beaten by the madam of Chunfengyuan. She was sent to the lower wing of Chunfengyuan to work as a maid.

Seeing Lin Yanyu tied up like a dumpling with tears in her eyes, Du Ruo thought of herself and couldn't help but feel some sympathy. She sighed and said, "You are so beautiful, are your family willing to sell you?"

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

Lin Yanyu's tears kept streaming down her cheeks, her eyes filled with pleading.

Du Ruo looked reluctant.

"I'm Du Ruo, the maid guarding you. You can't let me go, but if you need anything, you can tell me. As long as you promise not to scream, I will help you remove the cloth stuffed in your mouth."

Lin Yanyu nodded desperately.

After the cloth stuffed in her mouth was removed, Lin Yanyu coughed violently twice.

"Miss Du, please save me. My name is Lin Yanyu. I am the eldest daughter of Mr. Lin from Qingfeng Academy in Yunlong Town. I was not sold by my family. I was abducted here by criminals at the night market. Please let me go."

"If I let you go, I will be beaten to death. Only after dying once did I realize how terrible death is. Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I can't let you go."

Seeing those beautiful eyes filled with despair and tears, Du Ruo couldn't bear it and said hesitantly: "But I can try to see if I can help you pass the message to your family."

Seeing hope in Lin Yanyu's eyes, he still said truthfully: "It may not be successful. I just arrived and I don't have any money."

Lin Yanyu suddenly thought of something and said hopefully, "Miss Du, I should have two silver coins in my sleeve. Can you look for it?"

Because Lin Yanyu was tied up like a dumpling, it was really hard to find her. After Lin Yanyu promised not to run away, Du Ruo untied the rope on Lin Yanyu, and sure enough, he found two coins of silver in her sleeve pocket.

Before Du Ruo went out to make arrangements, he wanted to tie up Lin Yanyu with a rope, but he thought that although Hua Niang and Gui Gong were resting during the day and there were not many customers, he was afraid that someone would enter the room and defile Lin Yanyu's innocence, so he gave up.

After Du Ruo left, Lin Yanyu wanted to get up from the tacky bed, but after being tied up all night, her legs were numb and sore all over, and she could not stand steadily.

At this moment, the door suddenly creaked open from the outside. Lin Yanyu wondered how Du Ruo could come back so soon?

She saw the big man who kidnapped her yesterday walked into the house and locked the door.

Lin Yanyu already had a bad feeling in her heart, and she shouted in a timid voice: "Do you know who I am? Do you still have any respect for the law? If you dare to touch me, I guarantee you will regret it."

The big man ignored Lin Yanyu's threats and kept approaching, saying with a lewd smile: "I don't care about the law, I only care about you, my lady."

He then said angrily, "The girl who was watching you is finally gone. I've been waiting for you all night. I missed you so much."

As he said this, he pounced towards Lin Yanyu.

Lin Yanyu was terrified and struggled desperately. She picked up the pillow on the bed and hit the big man in the face with it, but the big man pulled it away and threw it to the ground.

"Help! Du Ruo, save me!"

The big man's lewd face frightened Lin Yanyu so much that she grabbed and kicked him, desperately calling for help.

Seeing that the big man was about to tear off her clothes, she opened her mouth with all her strength and bit the big man's arm, determined to bite off a piece of flesh from the other man. The man was in so much pain that he waved his hand and threw Lin Yanyu to the ground.

"You bitch, I thought I'd be gentle with you because you're so beautiful, but you didn't accept my toast."

After saying this, the big man was about to come over and commit violence.

"Open the door! Who's inside! Open the door!"

Du Ruo knocked on the door. Lin Yanyu endured the pain all over her body and shouted loudly: "Miss Du Ruo, save me!"

Unexpectedly, the big man was furious because of being bitten by Lin Yanyu. When he heard Du Ruo knocking on the door, he still said arrogantly: "No matter who comes today, I will definitely deal with you, you stinky bitch."

Du Ruo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and didn't know what to do.

The group was led into the hall by Chunfengyuan Guigong. The one in the lead was dressed in a thin black suit, with an anxious and cold expression on his handsome face.
