The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

Chapter 296 Brother Han, the eldest daughter is not enough, can you make up with a younger daughter?

The bandit leader was like a fish tied to a rope. He began to struggle and curse!

Soon, Du Minghai asked his servants to cut dozens of thin bamboo sticks.

Then, they inserted bamboo sticks into the gaps between the bandit leader's toenails one by one. Of course, saying "one by one" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Actually, there are only two.

This guy talks so tough, but he is actually a coward.

After two bamboo sticks were inserted, he wet his pants in pain.

By the time the servant gritted his teeth and was about to use the third one, he was already crying and begging for mercy.

“Stop it, stop it!!”

"I surrender! I admit defeat. Is it not okay for me to be afraid of death? Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Du Minghai stared at the other person with gritted teeth. He said, "Are those things you just said true?!"

"Are there a lot of bandits coming to surround my villa?"

The bandit leader nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, about 200 people, they will start the action in about an hour!"

Du Minghai's face suddenly turned pale and he almost sat down!

Fortunately, Han Zhuo reached out and supported his back, and sent a trace of gentle breath to him, so that the old man would not be unable to breathe and collapse.

After Du Minghai calmed down, he was so angry that he was jumping up and down!

He gritted his teeth, stared at the other person fiercely, and said, "Why!?"

"I have no grudge against you. If you come to rob my villa and ask for money and food, I will give it to you!"

The leader of the village shook his head and said, "We don't want money, we just want your life! And the young lady!"

"As long as you die, someone will give us more money!"

"Who is who? Who hired you to kill me and my daughter?"

Having said that, the bandit leader closed his mouth again and said nothing.

Han Zhuo then said to the servant standing beside him, "Big brother, pierce all ten of his toes."

The servant was also an honest man. He said hesitantly, "But he only has eight fingers left."

As a result, Han Zhuo said something that made the bandit leader collapse.

"I've already tied two knots in, pull them out and tie them in again."

"If it doesn't work once, just pull it out and try again. Toes are a bit weaker than hands anyway. The worst that can happen is to smash them all up and chop them off. Don't forget about it."

"Good Le!"

As he said that, the honest servant actually did as Han Zhuo said. He walked up and with two "hums", he pulled out the two toothpicks that were deeply stuck in the hole!

When it was pulled out, the bandit leader trembled with pain!

Then, the servants stabbed the nails into the gaps between the head of the bandit group's fingernails one by one, just like before.

He peed again before he could finish the third one.

"I tell you! I tell you! It was Master Ximen, it was Master Ximen who told us to do it!"

Du Minghai's pupils widened as he roared in disbelief: "Impossible! My son-in-law would never do such a heartless thing!"

"He's a well-known philanthropist in Yanggu County. Now that drought is raging across the country, he's even opened his own granary to provide relief to the victims. How could he possibly harm me, his father-in-law, who's done him a favor?"

"He and my daughter have been treated with respect and honor for so many years. He has treated my daughter so well. How could he possibly kill her?!"

After Du Minghai "retired", he has been managing his family business in this mountain.

His original intention was to divide his assets into two parts after his death.

Part of it was given to the eldest daughter and part to the youngest daughter.

The eldest daughter gave a little more, after all, he has always been optimistic about the eldest son-in-law.

As for his youngest daughter, his request was to find an honest and down-to-earth son-in-law.

The young couple just needs to live a peaceful life together.

However, this sudden news completely shattered the environment that Du Minghai had created himself.

Du Minghai, enraged and humiliated, yelled at his servants, "He must be lying! Stab him hard!"

Then, the screams of the leader of the bandit group were heard from the house again!

He screamed and howled, "It's true! It's true! It's all true!!"

"We were originally bandits from Woniu Mountain. After Master Ximen and the government wiped out our stronghold, he secretly recruited us."

"Master Ximen kept us in his house, fed us, gave us drink every day, and even let us play with women!"

"He also had the county lieutenant of Yanggu County teach us how to march and deploy our troops. There were over 200 of us in total. Before we started, the master told us personally that everyone in the villa, young or old, male or female, as long as they were alive and breathing, should be killed!!"

Du Minghai was obviously unable to digest the sudden "bad news".

After stepping back repeatedly, he sat dejectedly on the chair.

Over the past few years, Ximen He made Du Yue Niang and him always play the role of treating each other with respect and treating each other with dignity.

At the same time, he also used some small tricks to make the father-in-law think that his son-in-law was a kind man.

Because the father-in-law lives in the mountains all year round, as long as some woodcutters or herbalists occasionally pass by their house, ask for water at the gate of their villa and say a few words, the father-in-law will believe it without a doubt.

Ximen He's image of being righteous, filial and kind was torn to pieces by just a few words from the bandit leader!

At the same time, Du Minghai thought of the years his daughter had spent with the wolf-like Ximen He day and night, which made him feel heartbroken!

In a rage, he shouted to the people around him: "Kill him, kill him!"

However, for the servants, using toothpicks against the bandit leader was not a big deal.

But these honest and dutiful servants really couldn't do the thing of killing someone with a knife.

Seeing that each of them showed hesitation, the bandit leader seemed to see hope of survival and finally laughed out loud again.

"Hahaha, you guys don't even dare to kill me, then everyone will die soon, hahaha!"

As he was laughing wildly, Han Zhuo walked up to him without saying a word, stretched out his hand and grabbed his throat, and with a "click", he broke his neck!

The room, which was originally filled with mocking laughter, suddenly became very quiet.

Du Minghai suddenly stood up and looked at Han Zhuo in disbelief.

He stared at Han Zhuo for a while before stepping forward, patting him on the shoulder, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Well done, well done!"

As he spoke, Du Minghai said to Han Zhuo, "Young man Han, the villa is in danger right now. I have an unwelcome request, and I beg you to agree to it."

Han Zhuo blinked and nodded. He said, "Mr. Lu, please go ahead."

Du Minghai said in a calm voice, "It's raining heavily outside right now. While those thieves are still trying to get out, please ask the young man from the Han family to take my two daughters with you!"

Han Zhuo stared at Du Minghai and said, "What about you, sir?"

Du Minghai smiled bitterly at this time. He looked at the heavy rain outside the house with a nostalgic look on his face.

He said, "When I was young, I did something that others thought was stupid."

"As the eldest son of the family, I fell in love with the little maid who served tea. Despite opposition from everyone in the family, I took her away and fled to this desolate wilderness. I originally wanted to build a mountain villa, a warm home."

"So, I used the silver I brought with me and my hardworking hands to work for several years, but in the end... I ended up with nothing."

Ok?

Han Zhuo was surprised when he heard this.

After all, in a normal plot, shouldn't an ambitious young man come out with his lover and then start his own business?

How come there is nothing left? Then how did this manor come from?

However, Han Zhuo did not ask these questions because he knew that Du Minghai would definitely say them.

Sure enough, according to Du Minghai, after he and his first love came here, they went through a very difficult entrepreneurial phase and ended up losing everything.

All the money I brought from home was spent.

At the same time, because the conditions were too harsh, he did not know how to produce, let alone how to take care of others.

The woman he loved most in his life passed away after giving birth to his eldest daughter, Du Yueniang.

Du Minghai buried his wife here, and then returned to his family with his newborn daughter Du Yue Niang in his arms.

From then on, he used his family's power and money to gradually climb up the ladder.

May your career be smooth and you reach the highest position in the country!

During his years as an official, he constantly used his influence and power to transform this place, and poured all the money he had embezzled into this manor.

After decades of transformation, this originally barren land has been transformed into the vibrant villa it is today.

When Du Minghai said this, he pointed to a hill in the southwest.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "My first wife has been lying there alone for decades."

"It's time for me to go down and accompany her. The only person I feel guilty about in my life is my late wife."

"As long as my two daughters are safe and sound, I will die without regrets."
