We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

The moment they started to retreat, all the other villagers surrounded them, blocking all escape routes.

Chu Qingyun was in front and Ye Qingran was behind. They protected Jiang in the middle and retreated while fighting.

Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to succeed in counterattack.

Although their martial arts were more than enough to deal with these people, their numbers were overwhelming, and the Jiang family did not know martial arts and needed protection, so they calculated that they could only use defense as offense and try their best to get to the village gate.

But their place is really far from the entrance of the village. If they want to go out at the current speed, it will be dark, and their physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up.

After thinking about it again and again, Ye Qingran took out his bamboo flute and played it, pinning his hope of going out on his father and brother.

The only advantage now is that Chu Qingyun is carrying a sword, and most of the weapons of these villagers are just farm tools. Although Ye Qingran's dagger is not easy to resist, it is better because of its quick moves. It can protect Jiang's safety while also avoiding it. Other attacks.

Chu Qingyun's sharp sword moves quickly forced these villagers back, preventing them from approaching at will.

In this way, they had room to move, and their movements gradually opened and closed. When the villagers began to act cautiously, they simply stopped and ran away.

They drove this offensive and defensive rhythm, increased the speed of retreat several degrees, and finally arrived near the entrance of the village before their physical strength was exhausted.

But it was precisely because of this that when the villagers saw that they were about to escape, they rushed up with all their might, no longer caring about dodging.

"Brothers, we must not let them escape. When they go out to report to the police, we will all be arrested and beheaded! Come on!"

When the village chief shouted, they rushed up desperately.

Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran were almost exhausted at this time. The fatigue that had been tightening their spirits swept over them. They finally couldn't stand facing so many villagers.

Soon, the crowd would swamp them, and they had several scars on their bodies.

Although Mrs. Jiang was protected by them, there were inevitably times when she was not taken care of, and there were a few wounds on her body. Although they were not serious, blood was already oozing out.

Within a quarter of an hour, they were no longer able to defeat these villagers.

Fortunately, they did not intend to kill the three of them. They used a rope net to trap them on the ground, making it difficult to break free.

These hemp ropes were very strong, and it took a while to break them even with daggers and swords. However, the villagers did not give them a chance to struggle, and directly knocked off their weapons and took them away.

Ms. Jiang was trapped in the net with them, unable to move, and was about to fall into the tiger's mouth.

While Ye Qingran was in a state of panic, he heard the voices of Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu.

"Ran'er!"

"Mother! Brother Chu!"

Ye Zhuoyu rushed up with a sword and shouted, "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you with the prefect!"

Soon, the villagers around Ye Qingran were forced to retreat.

The sound of horse hooves kept coming from the entrance of the village. When the villagers took a look, they found that they were coming with officers and soldiers, and they immediately ran away in fear.

Seeing this scene, the village chief yelled: "A bunch of useless things!"

After saying that, he stepped forward to face the prefect alone and said very flatteringly: "Mr. Prefect, you are really disappointed to come here! If I had known you were coming, I would have come to greet you earlier."

Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu spent a lot of effort to release Ye Qingran and others, and then began to check their injuries.

The prefect ignored the village chief and just said to the entourage on one side: "Send people to seal off the entire village. No one is allowed to let go."

After hearing this, the village chief knew that something was wrong, his face changed, and he still smiled and said: "Why do you need to fight like this, magistrate? We are just ordinary people. These people suddenly broke into our village and started fighting with swords. We had no choice but to That’s why I resisted.”

"You'd better tell the truth. I know them. If after a thorough investigation it is found that your words are untrue, it will be an extra punishment!"

After listening to the prefect's words, beads of sweat appeared on the village chief's forehead. He hesitated for a moment and insisted: "Sir, we are really unjust. You see, our village is full of simple farmers. They farm the land and grow food. Is it sinful to go to the city to sell money and make a living?"

The prefect did not answer, but just looked at the village, and there was indeed nothing strange about it.

"You didn't do anything wrong? Then why did those people run away when they saw me? Isn't this a guilty conscience?"

"We are just ordinary people. We have never seen such a big battle. It is normal for us to panic for a while. There is nothing strange about it."

Ye Qingran was busy bandaging the wounds of Jiang and Chu Qingyun, and taking care of his own injuries. He frowned slightly when he heard the village chief's words, and said softly to his family: "This village chief is really eloquent. We can’t let him get over this matter.”

"is it?"

The prefect still didn't believe it, "If that's the case, why aren't you afraid?"

The village chief sighed: "You don't know something. I grew up in the town and saw a lot of things. It was by chance that I settled here. It was only because of my courage that they asked me to be the village chief. Otherwise, I would have How do my qualifications match up?”

The more he spoke, the more enthusiastic he became, "I grew up in a town, and I know that being an official like you is not easy. If you hadn't managed the town well, I wouldn't have been able to grow up safely. I have to thank you for that! "

As he spoke, he began to kneel down and praise the magistrate for his great achievements.

Seeing his appearance, the magistrate couldn't say anything for a moment. The entourage who happened to be on business came back and whispered: "Sir, we have surrounded him and no one has escaped."

The prefect nodded and looked at the village chief: "In any case, today's matter still needs to be investigated before making a conclusion. As the village chief, you must set an example and stay in the village to listen to the message. Whenever someone runs away, You’re the only one I’m asking.”

"Yes, yes, we are all very obedient and will never cause trouble to the adults."

After saying that, he stepped aside obediently, and when passing by Ye Qingran and others, he gave them a provocative look.

Ye Qingran snorted coldly, speeded up the work at hand, walked quickly to the prefect, and said: "Sir, my mother was almost sold as a slave because of their help here. These people are so bold and completely If you don't take the king's law seriously and dare to do such things on your lord's territory, you are obviously harming your lord!"

She plausibly said, "If someone else discovers this and reports it to the emperor, I'm afraid I will be punished for dereliction of duty."
