Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 256 I take off my clothes myself

"First release the women and children in Taoyuan Town. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation."

Shen Nankui stood in front of Geng's house. Although she was delicate and frail, her dignified demeanor made people dare not ignore her.

Geng Jin smiled and said, "Okay, then we will exchange hostages."

"You think beautifully."

Shen Nankui had a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "You are taking me for a fool. Exchanging hostages now is no different from letting a tiger go back to the mountains. Then the people of Taoyuan Town will be at your mercy, right?"

Geng Jin smiled and said, "So what do you want?"

"First, release the women and children. Second, everyone remove their weapons, leave Taoyuan Town, and swear not to set foot in it again. Tomorrow morning, I will release your second in command. As for Aunt Geng, it is up to her to decide whether she wants to go with you."

Geng Jin's eyes flashed with anger. "You only have two hostages, but I have ten times as many as you do. You don't seem to be qualified to negotiate with me like this."

Shen Nankui said calmly: "Geng Jin, when you are in the underworld, the most important thing is loyalty. If you abandon the lives of your sworn brothers today, how can you expect so many of your brothers to obey you?"

The bandits looked at each other.

Their Feiying Village was originally a tyrant in Yizhou, but was later suppressed by the government so severely that they had nowhere to hide, so they fled to Yongzhou. The original intention of the boss was to bring his brothers here to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, so apart from robbing people to make money, Feiying Village did not invade villages and towns on a large scale, because this was too ostentatious and would easily attract the government to send troops to suppress it.

They broke into Taoyuan Town today because they heard that the third in command's mother was in danger, so they came to rescue her.

Everyone entered the town to help him. If he really abandoned the second-in-command, it would be disappointing to his brothers.

Listening to the discussions around him, Geng Jin's face became even more gloomy and he glared at Shen Nankui fiercely.

"Of course I want to save the people. You can ask us to withdraw from Taoyuan Town, and you can even swear an oath, but you absolutely cannot confiscate our weapons."

He turned around and said to the bandits, "Brothers, we live on the edge of a knife. If we don't have a knife, we will be slaughtered. You just saw that the second in command was brave and powerful, but the man just defeated him with just one move. If we let the hostages go and surrender our weapons, how can we survive in the hands of such a man?"

When the bandits heard this, they all thought it made sense and immediately disagreed with Shen Nankui's conditions.

Geng Jin looked at her, shrugged and said, "How about we both take a step back?"

Shen Nankui also shook his head.

Geng Jin's face suddenly turned cold, "So the talks broke down?"

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the women and children of Taoyuan Town again. Shen Nankui looked at Lian Qi, who understood and stepped on the broken palm of the second in command.

The second in command gasped in pain, glared at Shen Nankui with resentment, and then shouted: "Third brother, don't be impulsive, this vicious woman has a black heart, she might really kill me!"

Geng Jin clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Second Master, rest assured, I won't do anything rash."

The two sides remained in a stalemate.

The sun sets and the sky gradually darkens.

Shen Nankui counted the time silently in her heart. It was more than two hours since the Zhang family's guards went back to report the news. At the latest, reinforcements from the government would arrive by dark. Before that, she just had to do her best to delay these bandits.

She sat in front of Geng's door, as steady as a rock, with an air of one man blocking the way for ten thousand.

But as time passed, the bandits obviously had no patience left. Geng Jin had been looking gloomy, but at this moment he suddenly laughed.

"Hahahahaha!"

He clapped his hands and said a few words, and the bandits pushed all the captured women in front of the crowd.

Shen Nankui's expression froze and he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Geng Jin said, "I don't have time to waste with you. I promised you that I would not touch these women and children, but if you want to force us to compromise based on this, then you are underestimating us brothers."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Dozens of bandits with knives were seen holding their knives against the necks of the women.

"If you don't want to die, take off your clothes."

All the women looked pale as death. Asking them to take off their clothes in front of so many people was like asking them to die.

With a knife at their necks, the women were afraid, but no one dared to take action.

Geng Jin laughed strangely, "They don't have hands, so come and help them, brothers. You asked for this!"

"Don't worry, Third Master. We are the best at taking off women's clothes!"

The bandits smiled obscenely and stretched out their hands to pounce on the group of women.

Suddenly, there was a scream.

"Geng Jin, you're crazy!"

Shen Nankui stood up angrily. If looks could kill, she would have cut him into pieces.

Geng Jin smiled scoundrelly, "You saw it, I just asked them to take off their clothes, I didn't hurt them, so it's not a breach of contract, right?"

"You are totally inhuman!"

"How can you expect a robber to have humanity?"

Geng Jin's face was grim. "They ended up like this because of you. I just want to ask you, are you willing to let them go now?"

"you--"

Shen Nankui clenched his teeth, feeling anger filling his chest.

The villagers were also extremely angry. Some said they should release the women, while others said they should not. They all knew that if they did not release the women, they would not be able to face people in the future after experiencing such humiliation. But if they released the women, everyone in Taoyuan Town would be in danger...

For a moment, the Geng family’s yard was filled with desperate cries.

Shen Nankui was hesitating when suddenly, a woman's angry voice came from the bandits' side.

"Get lost, you bastard!"

This sound is full of energy.

She was a woman in her thirties. She pushed away two bandits who were trying to tear her clothes. After breaking free, she strode up to Geng Jin, suddenly swung her arm and slapped him in the face.

Geng Jin's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he said nothing. It seemed that he knew her.

The woman was not satisfied after slapping him once, so she spat fiercely in his face.

"Bah! How could the Geng family produce a beast like you?"

"You were born and raised in Taoyuan Town, and now you are going to treat the townspeople like this?"

"Humph, you were playful when you were young. When you were six or seven years old, you ran to the county town by yourself. You didn't know the way, so you ran to a village twenty miles away. If my grandparents' home wasn't there, and my mother happened to take me back to her parents' home that day, she would have brought you back along the way. Otherwise, you would have been lost long ago."

"I just hate why we had to meddle in other people's business. A bad guy like you should die outside and not come back to harm the villagers today!"

If the two bandits hadn't held her back, she would have rushed forward and slapped Geng Jin a few more times.

The woman was quite strong and broke free from them again, shouting angrily, "Don't touch me!"

"Isn't it just taking off clothes? I won't die, I'll take them off myself!"
