Chapter 117 It’s been a long time since I last saw you…
"They slept." As for where they slept, Xiao Li didn't need to explain.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Ma Xiao didn't continue to ask. After all, no one would care more about the safety of Lu Yuan and the other two than Xiao Li. "Sir, what should we do with these two?"
Xiao Li looked at the situation over there and said, "Let's tie him up first."
Ma Xiao responded and went to get a rope for Ma Da and Ma Er, and the three of them worked together to tie up the two thieves.
Xiao Li found a chair and sat down. Before interrogating the two men, he hypnotized them with his psychic powers, and then let Shen Congzhou interrogate them.
Soon, the two men honestly explained why they came to the Xiao residence. "We heard the sound of children in the house and wanted to capture them and send them to Master Li and his men."
"Why should it be sent to Master Li and the others? Who are they specifically?" Shen Congzhou frowned, and the murderous intent in his eyes was no less than that of Xiao Li.
A trace of struggle flashed across the two men's faces. They obviously didn't want to answer, probably because they knew that what they did would make people hate them.
It’s just that sometimes it’s not that they don’t want to say anything. They clearly don’t want to say it, but their mouths are out of control and they explain everything the other party asks.
"Master Li and..." The two men revealed the identities of the people behind the scenes. Then they continued, "Master Li and his men didn't know that eating lamb can keep you young and prolong your life, so they bought lamb from us at a high price. Besides us, there are several other groups working for Master Li and his men.
However, their methods are rather brutal. They just go out and snatch children. We usually buy them from families that can't make a living. This is the first time we have done this, and we were caught by the three heroes.
Gentlemen, please be kind and spare us two since we didn't succeed!"
When begging for mercy, the two men endured the pain in their bodies and kowtowed in the direction of Xiao Li and Shen Congzhou. It was obvious that they also realized who was the one in charge here.
However, both Shen Congzhou and Xiao Li have seen too many evil people and will not be soft-hearted because of their momentary regret.
When Shen Congzhou thought that these people were among those his father and brother had tried their best to protect, he suddenly felt infinite sadness and anger in his heart, "It's really a shame that the Great Zhou has people like you..." The country will be destroyed sooner or later.
The following words were too outrageous, so Shen Congzhou did not say them out loud.
Xiao Li could guess a little about his thoughts, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with them.
Seeing that there was no hope in begging Shen Congzhou, the two men turned their gaze to Xiao Li and said, "Master, please be kind. As for what you need to do, we will do it for you, as long as you are willing to forgive us this time."
The one who spoke was the one with triangular eyes, who looked like the smarter one among the two.
The remaining ordinary-looking man, upon hearing what the triangular-eyed man said and seeing him winking at him from time to time, quickly agreed, "Sir, please spare our lives. From now on, our lives belong to you."
Sir, if you tell us to go east, we will never go west. If you tell us to kill, we will never set fire.
"Heh!" Seeing that what he said was getting more and more outrageous, Xiao Li suddenly sneered. In this late night and in this scene, it seemed abrupt no matter how he looked at it.
The three Ma brothers were fine. Although they were not familiar with him, they knew that he was not someone who would target others at will.
Shen Congzhou hadn't seen Xiao Li react like this for a long time. He looked at him thoughtfully and then walked aside.
The man with triangular eyes and the ordinary guy faced Xiao Li directly, and their feelings were much stronger than anyone else.
The weather was obviously very hot, and it was not very cool even at night, but they suddenly felt a chill. The young man who sneered gave them the feeling of an executioner, as if he would pick up a knife and kill them at the next moment, but he clearly had nothing in his hand.
Xiao Li didn't care what they thought. The smile on his face faded and he looked at the two of them expressionlessly, "Since you can betray Master Li and the others, then even if I spare you, when you fall into the hands of others in the future, will you betray me like you did today?
I don’t want people who would betray the Lord. Besides, do you think you can be called human beings?
And you think that since you have set your sights on my two young sons, I will pretend that nothing has happened and let you stay around and do things for me?
Or do you think that anyone around me is inferior to you?"
Before the two men could react, Ma Xiaosan's brother got angry first.
Ma Da put one hand on his waist and pointed at them, cursing, "You black-hearted people think you can work for our young master? Forget it! The young master will never fall in love with you in his next life!"
Ma Er couldn't help but sneer, "You don't know your own limitations."
Ma Xiao had never seen such a shameless person before. His chest was heaving with anger. "For what you did, you deserve to be cut into pieces a thousand times. And you still have the nerve to beg for mercy? Today really taught me a lesson!"
The two men were scolded but did not dare to resist. Seeing that there was no hope with Xiao Li, they turned their eyes to Shen Congzhou again. I don't know how stupid they were.
Shen Congzhou picked up a dagger from the table beside him and played with it. "You brought a dagger with you. If someone hadn't been able to subdue you, wouldn't we be the ones begging for mercy now?"
"No, we dare not." The two men's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that what he said hit the mark.
Shen Congzhou was not surprised. "Then why are you still begging for mercy? Don't you understand the principle of eradicating the roots?"
As he said this, he walked towards the two men, still holding the dagger in his hand and waving it from time to time, as if he wanted to kill them right away.
The two men were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot, "Please spare our lives, please spare our lives, we will never dare to do it again, never again..."
No matter how the two men struggled and begged for mercy, Shen Congzhou showed no emotion. He walked up to them, squatted down, then raised his hand with the dagger and swung it hard at their ears.
"what--"
"what--"
Two screams were heard and two ears fell to the ground.
Shen Congzhou wiped the dagger clean on them without changing his expression, then stood up and looked at Xiao Li, "Master, should we get rid of them now or wait until daybreak to send them to the authorities? Or should we wait until we have apprehended all the people behind this and then send them to the authorities together?"
After several years of tacit understanding, Shen Congzhou knew that Xiao Li probably would not seek help from the government.
If it were him, he would also go to the government. After all, the wealthy families in the local area are more or less connected with the government. Who knows if someone in the government is involved behind the scenes?
Although they don't have many people here, Lord Chu from Yangzhou City does have someone here. Judging from their attitude towards the young master at that time, and the young master's care for Chu Yang and others along the way, I think Chu Yang will not refuse to help as long as the young master says a word.
Including their own people, more than ten people can't do much, such as disaster relief, but they can still do things like rooting out these evils.
After exchanging a glance with Shen Congzhou, Xiao Li knew that the other party had already made up his mind. "Leave this matter to Mr. Shen. I will talk to Chu Yang after daybreak and ask him to assist."
"Yes, sir." Shen Congzhou responded, turned around and saw the two people lying on the ground groaning in pain, and looked at Ma Dadao beside him: "Find a place to lock them up and gag them. Don't give them food. Let them starve to death if they die."
"Oh, I see, Mr. Shen." Although Ma Da didn't know why they were not handed over to the authorities, his advantage was that he would do whatever his master said.
Mr. Shen is not their master, but he is their teacher, and the young master has handed this matter over to him, so they should just listen to him.
Ma Da carried a half-dead man away in one hand, Ma Er cleaned up the house on his own initiative, and Ma Xiao waited on the side for instructions.
Xiao Li waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, go down and have a rest. I don't have anything to do right now. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, sir, I will withdraw first." After Ma Xiao withdrew, Ma Er also withdrew soon after.
When only Shen Congzhou and Xiao Li were left in the room, Shen Congzhou finally couldn't help but glance back, his eyes filled with obvious concern and worry: "Young Master and the others?"
As a outsider, he cannot care about the young master's husband, but he can care about the young master's children.
The main reason was that he and Lu Yuan didn't have much of a relationship, so even if he didn't ask Lu Yuan, no one would worry about her. However, the two young masters were so cute that he was a little worried that they would be scared.
Xiao Li did not tell him the truth, "Don't worry, they are in a very safe place. I will take them back after things here are over.
Until then, if someone asks you about them, you know what to say, right?"
Shen Congzhou knew that he had already settled his wife and children, so he had the mind to come to play chess with him before, but he didn't expect that he had sent his wife and children away without anyone knowing.
However, thinking back on what he had done in the past and what he had said to others, Shen Congzhou felt that it was nothing.
It is a good thing for him that the young master is omnipotent. He does not have to be timid when doing things, and he does not have to worry about the safety of the young master and his family.
After knowing this news, Shen Congzhou can now go all out to do his work.
Not long after, Shen Congzhou, who had finished his business, also left the main courtyard.
When Xiao Li was the only one left in the room, he closed the door and entered the space, telling them that they might have to stay in the space for a while.
Lu Yuan knew that he had something to do and that he was doing this for the safety of the three of them, father and son. Therefore, she did not have any bad feelings. She just hugged him and told him to be careful when he was alone.
Little Ruijing was also sensible. He didn't ask anything, but nodded obediently and said he understood. Only little Ruixue tilted her head and asked him curiously, "Why?"
"Because Daddy has things to do, it's not convenient to bring you with him. I'm also afraid that others will bully you when Daddy isn't paying attention, so Daddy asked you to stay here." Xiao Li held his little shoulders and said earnestly: "This is the safest place Daddy thinks. You and little Daddy stay here, so Daddy can do other things with peace of mind, understand?"
Little Ruixue nodded in confusion, "Danger?"
"It's okay, there's a little danger." Although Xiao Li loves children very much, he has no intention of raising them to be naive.
Little Ruixue blinked, and suddenly hugged him tightly, "Daddy won't go~"
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then realized that he didn't want to do those things because he heard him say it was dangerous.
Little Ruijing also came over and hugged him. Although he didn't say anything, his little face was tense, and it was obvious that he didn't want him to go.
Xiao Li naturally couldn't stay in the space forever. He rubbed the heads of the two little guys separately and said, "Daddy will be careful and make sure they don't get hurt. And Daddy promises that he will come back every night to sleep with Jing'er and the baby, okay?"
The two little guys didn't say anything, silently refusing.
Xiao Li glanced at Lu Yuan.
The couple had a tacit understanding. After a while, Xiao Li held little Ruijing and Lu Yuan held little Ruixue, and they patiently guided the two little ones.
After coaxing them all, it was already late. Little Ruixue was already drowsy and fell asleep while I was giving him a bath.
Xiao Ruijing was a little better, but not much better.
After settling the two little ones, Xiao Li hugged her husband and went back into the bathroom.
Because they have been taking care of their children all the time, they are actually less intimate than before.
Now that Xiao Li was personally helping her take a bath, and he was kissing and touching her, Lu Yuan soon became unable to bear it and her legs became weak, and she could only stand firmly by relying on the man.
Xiao Li kissed the soft flesh behind his ear from behind him, his breath becoming heavier, "Yuan'er..."
"Hmm~" Lu Yuan raised her head slightly, "Husband~"
Xiao Li had the most complete lack of self-control when calling him "husband", not to mention that she called him "husband" in such a soft voice, as if she was acting like a spoiled child, which was no different from asking for his life.
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, she was hugged by the waist and lifted into the air, her chest pressed against the wall, followed by a hot body from behind.
The temperature in the space was cooler than outside, but still hot. Therefore, when Lu Yuan leaned against the wall, he did not feel cold, but felt very comfortable instead.
It was cool in the front and hot in the back, and Lu Yuan soon experienced what it was like to be in a world of ice and fire.
Even because his two children were sleeping not far from the bathroom, he didn't dare to make too much noise, but Xiao Li didn't let him bite his lip, and finally...
"Woo..." Lu Yuan whimpered softly twice, then hugged his arm and bit it, looking back with aggrieved eyes, trying to accuse him with her eyes.
However, he didn't know that sometimes, the more he did this, the more he could arouse a man's desire to conquer and control.
Xiao Li's eyes darkened, and he pinched his chin and bent down to kiss him. His movements became more and more ferocious, as if he wanted to tear him apart and swallow him whole. He was so scared that he couldn't stop crying.
