Upon Yang Chuxia’s command, both sides started fighting. Although Yang Chuxia’s side had fewer people and seemed to be at a disadvantage, they had better equipment.
Her sleeve arrows and small crossbow arrows were essential for traveling. Even Fugui and his companions, who often followed her on trips, were well-equipped, so it was easy for them to defeat these opponents.
In no time, this group of people was reduced to a mess, lying on the ground in disarray.
Seeing the situation turning against them, Ms. Hua Junior and her son tried to flee.
Fugui and the others obeyed and quickly chased after them. There was no way Ms. Hua Junior and her accomplice could outmatch them, especially Ye Zi’yong, who looked like he had been drained of all his energy and had no strength to resist.
"What should we do now, miss?"
Yang Chuxia looked at the people lying on the ground and worried about what to do. There were too many of them to fit in the carriage.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "String them together with ropes. If they’re injured in the legs, throw them into the carriage. We’ll have two carriages with these people tied between them. Let’s see how they try to run."
"Hehe, Miss’s idea is great. This method is good. We can place our carriages in the front and Miss’s in the back so they can’t escape by jumping from the carriages." Fugui happily agreed and went to tie up the people.
Qingyou asked, "Miss, will the people from Jade Seduction Pavilion come looking for us? So many people have disappeared; they must be worried."
Yang Chuxia snorted, "It’s better if they don’t come. If they do, we’ll tie them up as well. No one who runs such a place has a clean record."
Meanwhile, the madam of Jade Seduction Pavilion had indeed sent someone to find the boss. Seeing Ms. Hua Junior had gone out with so many people and hadn’t returned for a long time, she got anxious. In her heart, she cursed Ms. Hua Junior for causing trouble.
Unfortunately, the person who was sent to find the boss could not locate him.
Due to this delay, by the time the boss received the news, Yang Chuxia had already led her group far away.
"Miss, we’ll be there in half an hour."
"Then let’s speed up. I’m hungry and can’t wait to have breakfast in the city." Yang Chuxia lazily replied.
"Alright." Fugui agreed, then yelled to the front carriage, "Qingyou, speed up the carriage. Miss is hungry."
The two men relayed the message back and forth, and soon, the carriages began moving faster. The tied-up people in between the carriages, however, were suffering.
They cried out in pain, but Fugui quickly silenced them with a whip, "Shut up! If you disturb my Miss’s sleep, I’ll whip you to death."
Immediately, the men underneath ceased their cries.
Another half hour passed, and the carriages finally arrived in the county town. However, they were stopped by the guards checking them in.
Fugui tried to explain their situation and even offered bribes, but they only let them into the city after much difficulty.
Once inside, Fugui and Qingyou immediately took the carriages and captured people to report to the county office.
Yang Chuxia, on the other hand, took Xiu’er to a breakfast shop to grab something to eat.
Back at Yangshu Village, Ye Zi’an’s face was gloomy. He had just received a furious yet helplessly powerless letter.
He quickly composed himself, packed a few clothes, and informed Ms. Wang and the others before leaving.
