Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 257 We can attack at any time

After saying that, she actually started to unbutton her clothes.

The women behind him, seeing this, could not help but feel grief-stricken. They broke free from those malicious hands that were trying to take advantage of them, and dozens of them huddled together, sobbing quietly.

The woman's hands did not stop, outer garment, inner garment...

As the collar of her inner garment slowly slid open, a lush green bellyband embroidered with peach blossoms became faintly visible.

The bandits stared at her intently with gleaming eyes.

The people on Shen Nankui's side all looked reluctant and turned their heads away.

A sad cry rang out in the Geng family yard, "Li Niang, Li Niang! I don't have the ability to save you..."

Geng Jin was unmoved and turned around and asked, "Why is she the only one taking off her clothes?"

Upon hearing this, the bandit once again pointed his blade at the group of women.

The women gritted their teeth, looking humiliated, but had to do as they were told.

Shen Nankui clenched his fists and was about to compromise when he suddenly saw Aunt Geng rushing out of the yard. She went down the steps and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Son, you want to watch women take off their clothes, and you want to force them to die. Fine, fine, I am a woman too, and I will also take off my clothes in front of everyone for everyone to see!"

Two lines of tears slid down her face.

The whole person looked as if he had suffered a huge blow, his face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and his hands were still quickly unbuttoning his clothes.

"mother!"

Geng Jin was stunned for a moment before he quickly knelt on the ground, "Mom, don't!"

He stretched out his hand, as if to stop Aunt Geng's behavior, but he was powerless from a distance and could only kowtow repeatedly, "Mom, please don't do this. I have no choice but to do this. I am doing this to save you!"

"I'm fine, do I need you to save me?"

"Since you asked the women of Taoyuan Town to take off their clothes, I am also from Taoyuan Town, so I will take off my clothes too."

Geng Jin was sweating from anxiety, and he waved his hands to stop the people behind him, "Stop, stop right there!"

The women, as if they had been pardoned, quickly gathered their clothes and wept helplessly together.

Geng Jin smiled and said, "Mom, look, they are all fine. Please stop making things difficult for your son. Can you please get up quickly?"

Aunt Geng stopped and slowly fastened her collar, but did not stand up. Instead, she faced the group of women and suddenly slapped herself in the face.

"I was wrong. I have failed everyone. I did not teach my son well. If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled him to death when I gave birth to him..."

"mother!"

Geng Jin felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and he cried out in grief.

Shen Nankui was relieved to see that the women were rescued, and quickly asked Hehua to help Aunt Geng up.

It's getting dark now, it's time to rescue the hostages first.

Otherwise, when reinforcements arrive, if the hostages are still in their hands, they will be held hostage.

Shen Nankui said, "Geng Jin, if the stalemate continues, it will be of no benefit to both you and me. I promise you, we will both take a step back. You release the hostages first, leave the town, and swear not to come in again, and I will release them immediately."

Geng Jin didn't want to delay any longer, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, remember your words. If you don't let them go, we can come back anytime."

He ordered his men to release the captured women and children.

The women and children were freed and hurried to the gate of Geng's house. Shen Nankui made way for them and greeted them, saying, "Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine. Go in and rest first."

When the last person entered the yard, she and Zhang Qiongsi inside the door looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Geng Jin was about to lead his men to evacuate when a rider suddenly rushed over from the corner of the street and shouted, "Oh no! The soldiers are coming!"

Geng Jin turned his head sharply and looked at Shen Nankui, "Did you report it to the police?"

Shen Nankui did not comment.

Geng Jin understood instantly, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly, "You actually tricked me?"

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you see clearly how many people came? How far are they?"

The messenger said, "There are more than a hundred of them. I'm afraid they will enter the town in less than half an hour. Third Master, let's run away quickly..."

Geng Jin's face changed, but he made a decision in an instant. He pointed at the Geng family's yard and said, "There are nearly a hundred soldiers. If they attack Taoyuan Town from two directions, we will have no chance of winning. Enter the yard and arrest them!"

He regretted extremely at this moment that he had been coaxed by Shen Nankui into handing over those hostages.

If he had those women and children in his hands, he would not be afraid even if more government officials came.

He glared at Shen Nankui fiercely.

This woman must have planned this all along. She first used the beauty trap to trick my brother into falling for her, allowing them to take the initiative. She then deliberately confronted him for so long, calculating the time and dragging it out until this moment before he compromised and coaxed him into handing over the hostages.

The bandits surrounded them, and Shen Nankui hurriedly pulled He Hua back to the yard. Lian Qi, the Zheng brothers, and the Zhang family's guards stood guard at the door.

Shen Nankui's face was solemn. "Lian Qi, Zheng Yue, Zheng Hui, and everyone in the Zhang family, be careful!"

Zheng Yue responded, "Madam, rest assured. With us here, we will never let these people break through the door!"

After saying that, he and Zheng Hui closed the door of Geng's house together.

The moment the door closed, one could hear a series of clashing weapons outside. The sounds of bandits fighting were everywhere, and the huge noise drowned out all the other sounds outside.

Everyone was worried and prayed secretly that the officers and soldiers would arrive soon.

Time passed slowly, but the sound of fighting outside did not weaken. Suddenly, the gate of Geng's courtyard seemed to be hit by something, making a loud noise, and everyone gasped in fright.

Shen Nankui was standing by the door. She didn't know what the situation was outside, but she knew clearly that she must not let the bandits enter through this door at any cost, otherwise, this place would become a purgatory.

She did not retreat, but said sternly, "Don't be afraid, we just need to wait until the soldiers arrive, and everything will be fine. Now, everyone listen to my command. Men, move the tables and cabinets, and women, get the stools and chairs. We have to block this door."

After she spoke, the bewildered and helpless crowd suddenly felt more emboldened and began to take action.

Soon, the courtyard gate was firmly held by tables, chairs and benches. When the sounds of banging and chopping on the gate were heard outside, people were not so scared anymore.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe just half a quarter of an hour, but in everyone’s mind, it seemed like a whole day had passed.

There was the sound of a horse neighing outside, followed by a series of rustling sounds, as if something sharp was flying, and a scream was heard outside the door.

"The soldiers are coming, everyone run!"

Hearing this voice, everyone in Geng's courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! The soldiers are here!

They are saved!
