Candy has seen this kind of scene many times. Back then, she was only fourteen when she was chased by men in black from Nanyang Prefecture to Quanshui Prefecture with the Zhou family, and then chased from Quanshui Prefecture to other places. Now she is seventeen. Although her mind has not grown much, it has grown a little.

She placed Chen Yuting in Mo Baolu's arms, saying, "Baolu, you must protect Yuting and not let him get hurt even a little bit."

Mo Baolu has grown into a young lady. As a daughter from a poor family, she has always been quite resilient. She nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Candy, I would rather something happen to myself than let Young Master Yuting get hurt."

With a roar, Candy jumped off the carriage, brandishing her large sword. Ignoring the black-clad man's threats—that he would let them go if they handed over the person—the silly girl slashed fiercely, instantly killing the black-clad man who was making those threats.

Anyway, she couldn't understand what the other party was saying. They were speaking too fast for her to understand. Since she couldn't understand, she might as well just fight. These men in black were bad, and if she didn't kill them, they would kill her.

The remaining men in black were all taken aback, caught off guard. Who would have thought that before they could finish their threats, the other party would start a killing spree? Moreover, this big girl was extremely fast. After cutting down the person who had spoken, she didn't stop at all and immediately cut down another one.

So the men in black didn't even have time to be surprised and had to quickly come to their senses to fight back. However, this girl was really strong. When she slashed at them, their hands went numb from the shock and they were forced back two steps.

Candy went berserk in an instant. To be honest, she hated the man in black to the core. Ever since she was chased by him for months, she had harbored a deep grudge. Every time the man in black appeared, something bad would happen to everyone. They would either run for their lives or hide in different places. The man in black was simply her nemesis.

She must kill all the men in black, otherwise she will not be able to live a peaceful life, will not be able to see the Madam and Master, nor will she be able to see Brother Fu. Jingjing and Xiaoxiao will also have no home to return to, and she will have to escape with Young Master Yuting all by herself. All of this is caused by the men in black.

Kill them all. As long as we kill all the men in black, everyone will be fine. The men in black are vermin, the worst villains in the world.

The more Candy killed, the more courageous she became, and the angrier she got. Suddenly, she let out another "Awooo!" and went berserk, going berserk, going berserk.

After she chopped down five people like watermelons, the remaining four were horrified and retreated several feet. One of them shouted in a shrill voice, "This woman is crazy. She's incredibly strong and her knife skills are amazing. She hits her target every time. Let's retreat!"

The other three saw the person who spoke turn and run away, and they also left quickly without hesitation.

Candy wasn't about to let them go. With another loud "Awooo," she brandished her big knife and gave chase.

Seeing this, Mo Tianzhu quickly told his eldest son to chase after Tangguo. "Baoshan, you must stop Tangguo. Don't chase her. If there's a trap ahead, we're doomed. Quickly pull her back. We need to get on our way."

Mo Baoshan had long legs and good skills. He used all his strength to catch up with her, but Tang Guo was too fast. It took him about fifteen minutes to catch up with her.

"Candy, stop chasing us. Come back with me. It's getting dark. We need to find a safe place to sleep as soon as possible." Mo Baoshan said breathlessly, gripping Candy's arm tightly with one hand.

Candy, still furious and gritting her teeth, said, "Kill all the men in black! The men in black have harmed us! Kill them all!"

“You can’t kill them all. Go back first. Young Master Yuting is waiting for you to go back and protect him. What if someone tries to hurt him?” Mo Baoshan knew he couldn’t persuade her, so he could only bring up Chen Yuting.

Candy stomped her foot angrily, making the ground shake. "Young Master Yuting, Young Master Erfu told me to protect Young Master Yuting and not let him get hurt." After saying that, Candy blew back like a gust of wind.

As night fell, Zhou Erfu and four others, their faces covered, lay in ambush not far away in the Nanyang Prefecture government office, waiting for the night to deepen so they could make their move.

At 1:15 AM, Zhou Wufu took out the sleeping powder bombs he had prepared beforehand. He had learned this trick from Wu Lianlian and the others back in Quanshui Mansion. Back then, in the secret room of Gu Mansion, Wu Lianlian used sleeping powder bombs to deal with her two female masters.

Inspired by this, Zhou Wufu changed the smoke bomb to a sleeping smoke bomb. He planned to light it and throw it into the government office, and anyone who smelled the smoke would immediately fall into a coma.

The plan was carried out smoothly. After Zhou Wufu released the sleeping pills, all the officials and constables in the government office collapsed and fell unconscious. The five men were quickly taken to the prison. In the prison, another sleeping pill was released, and the jailer and other guards were all knocked unconscious.

They found Zhou Laoda and his family at the very end of the prison. Zhou Dafu and Zhou Sanfu were in one cell, Zhou Laoda and his wife were in another cell, and Zhao Guizhi, Chen Shunping, and Li Quan's family were in the same cell.

Zhou Erfu didn't bother looking for the key. He was strong, and with a swing of his axe, he broke all three locks. The women were alright, but the men had all been tortured. Even Chen Shunping wasn't spared. Chen Shunping was already in poor health and couldn't walk on his own, so Zhou Sifu had to carry him.

Li Jier and Li Yuer supported Li Quan, Zhong Daya supported Li Congzhi, and Zhao Guizhi and Zhao Guihua supported Zhou Laoda. Zhou Laoda was beaten the most severely. It is likely that the person behind the scenes knew that he was the father of Brother Fu and deliberately made him suffer. Of course, the main purpose was to get the secret recipe out of him.

Zhou Dafu and Zhou Zhoufu were not seriously injured. They were only beaten twice after being imprisoned and had some whip marks on their bodies. However, they were young and exercised regularly, so they recovered quickly and were able to walk on their own now.

The group quickly ran out of the prison cell and were about to leave when, as they passed the back corridor of the government office, about two hundred yamen runners suddenly rushed out. Dozens of them surrounded them with knives, and a group of people stood on the wall with bows and arrows aimed at them.

If any of them dare to move, they will be riddled with bullets in the next moment.

"I knew you'd come to break into the prison. I was just worried about not being able to catch you. You few dared to defy the government and injure our officers just because you're good at martial arts. Too bad, no matter how good you are, you've still ended up in my hands. Today, I'll capture you all. Not one of you will escape."

"You unruly commoners deserve a good beating. Today, I'll have the jailer give you a good lesson and break all your legs so you won't dare to escape again. Anyway, you'll all be executed in the autumn, so it doesn't matter if you're beaten to death."

This prefect was just appointed at the end of last year. He is only in his early thirties and is very young. The previous prefect retired last year. After this new prefect took office, the Zhou family started to have bad luck.

"No wonder you became a prefect at such a young age. You're nothing but a dog to be bossed around. Don't think we don't know who sent you. You corrupt official, you framed my elder brother and third brother for cheating in the imperial examinations, and you secretly poisoned our customers in my restaurant."

"And then you pinned all these crimes on our Zhou family! You are utterly heartless, ruthless, and lawless. You will not have a good end; you will be punished sooner or later!" Zhou Erfu pointed at the prefect and cursed him vehemently.

The prefect's face was so dark it could drip water; a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Erfu and said, "Guards, chop this brat's hand off!"
