Upon hearing this, Mo Yan nodded very seriously, "Yes, I'm a little scared. Do you think I look like it?"

The man's face darkened, feeling provoked. Just as he was about to make a move, Mo Yan pulled the sword over.

The man rushed over as well, and Mo Yan kicked him away.

That kick was so powerful that it knocked him to the ground and made him vomit blood.

The others watched in a panic, gritting their teeth as they rushed over.

Everyone rushed over, and Mo Yan then snatched the swords and knives from those people, not forgetting to give one a palm strike and another a kick, finally letting the villagers clean up the mess.

The villagers hated bandits the most. They would rush over and beat and kick them on the ground before tying them up.

The village chief rushed over, "Auntie, what do you think we should do next?"

Mo Yan had already thrown the swords and knives on the ground. At this moment, she patted her chest and said, "Oh dear, that really scared me to death."

Everyone: "!!!!"

Madam, you weren't like this just now! You took down a whole group by yourself!

"Auntie, what should we do with these people?"

Mo Yan then glanced at the robbers whose features were no longer discernible.

“Take him to the yamen. If we don’t, our village might be accused of being complicit.”

The village chief realized what was happening and quickly led them to the county government office, with Mo Yan's servants following along.

Mo Yan looked at Sun Xueyao, who was trembling beside her, and told the village elders, "You can handle her as you see fit. We will have no objections."

"Also, Sun Yun should marry her off as soon as possible, so she can stop bringing trouble to our family."

Keeping such a person around is just a burden on the entire family.

Before this, Sun Xueyao would have been happy to hear these words, but now it's clear that it means he dislikes her.

"Grandmother, I did nothing wrong. I just saved someone."

"Yes, you saved someone but almost ruined the whole village."

The clan chief didn't leave with the village chief; he was staying to handle the matter. Sun Xueyao and Fang were pulled to the square and made to kneel together.

The villagers all had dark faces and glared fiercely at the two of them.

Because of those two people, the whole village almost got into trouble.

Today was so dangerous; if they hadn't found it... they didn't even dare to think about that possibility.

At this moment, they hated the two culprits to the core.

At this moment, Fang's parents rushed out and stood in front of their son, saying, "Injustice! My son would never do such a thing! It was Sun Xueyao who took him there! Clan leader, you must stand up for my son! Our family absolutely does not want a daughter-in-law like that, and we are unwilling to form a marriage alliance with them again!"

When something like this happens, the village will definitely investigate. This isn't something that can be resolved by simply locking someone up or beating them up. It almost harmed the entire village. The clan will need to discuss how to handle it.

Regardless of the final agreement, Sun Xueyao and Fang will definitely be driven out of the village.

Sun Yun and Lan Cao were also very anxious and stood in front of their daughter.

“Clan leader, everyone, my daughter didn’t do it on purpose. She just saw some injured people and wanted to help. That’s because my daughter is kind-hearted, isn’t it?” Sun Yun tried to use this point to prevent his daughter from being punished.

"Being kind-hearted means you'll drag our whole village down with you!"

"Didn't you hear what those robbers were saying? They attacked! Our village was almost in serious trouble!"

"Your daughter said she saw soldiers chasing after people. Do you think the soldiers are chasing good people?"

The villagers expressed their anger one after another.

It was so close! So close! Something terrible happened to their village! How could they not be furious? How could they not be angry?

“But he could also be a good person…” Sun Xueyao was still a little unconvinced.

"Shut up! Give them both ten lashes each."

The clan chief didn't hold back and had each of them whipped ten times.

To prevent them from running away, some people held them down and whipped their buttocks again and again.

Sun Yun and Lan Cao were stopped just as they were about to go over, and Sun Yun was even punched hard.

"Sun Yun! Your daughter did such a wrong thing, how dare you lay a hand on her?"

Sun Yun knew that Xueyao had really gotten into trouble this time, but she meant well; she just wanted to save people, and she had been deceived.

"Clan leader, Xueyao was just deceived, deceived by those people. She didn't want to be deceived."

The clan chief finally understood: this man simply felt that his daughter had done nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished.

"Sun Yun, are you saying that anyone who makes a mistake can later say, 'It wasn't intentional,' and pretend nothing happened, right?"

"Chief, that's not what I meant."

"Just because your daughter is young and naive, you're dragging us all down with her?"

If we don't catch the robbers, our village will be accused of colluding with them and harboring them—can you imagine how serious that crime is!

Sun Yun wanted to explain that he didn't mean it that way.

“Sun Yun, since you think your daughter did nothing wrong, does that mean it’s not wrong for her to drag us down with her, right?”

"Your family lives in our village, so we can't let you stay."

The clan chief looked at Mo Yan and spoke in a tone that was not for discussion but for notification, "Mo Yan, I am informing you here that Sun Yun's family must leave our village. We cannot keep such people here."

The same applies to your family. Once you leave our village, you can take your belongings with you, and we will buy back your land at half price. From then on, you will have no further connection with our village.
