You all know that we are very trustworthy; you can leave for Yuncheng as long as you pay us the money.

Yuncheng is a great place! There are so many people there, from all sorts of places. If you go there, you're sure to make a lot of money.

Don't let small things cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture. Don't just focus on the immediate situation; you need to have a long-term perspective and look ahead.

It has to be said that this bandit had a point when he spoke; he even knew to let people think long-term.

The others softened a bit, especially after seeing Mo Yan take out the silver.

At this point, the county magistrate could no longer hold back.

"Wait, girl, you can't give him money. If you do, well, that would only embolden him."

"fine."

Mo Yan gave it to them, and they quickly took the silver and checked on the others.

"Look, look, you can leave now that you've paid the money. Miss, can you all leave now?"

With so much silver, their families could survive.

"Why should I leave? I haven't even brought you back yet, how can I leave?"

"I gave you the money just now only to obtain evidence of your crimes."

Everyone: "???"

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, Mo Yan and her companions captured all the bandits and put them in shackles.

bandit:"???"

"Who...who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Mo Yan, the young lady who's holding a martial arts contest to find a husband."

Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have another identity: a young general.

Therefore, you should now go to Cloud City to face your imprisonment.

"Twenty taels? That'll definitely mean hard labor and jail time."

bandit:"……"

The bandits were now disheartened.

Why, why is this happening?

They had no idea what was going on.

"Wait a minute, we just arrived today, we haven't been here long."

They started to stutter when they spoke.

They regret it, they really regret it.

How could they... how could they...

"We were wrong, okay? This is our first day here, we're new here too."

Who would have thought they'd get caught the very first time they tried to do business?

"Besides, we weren't bandits before. We just couldn't survive, so we thought of coming to this place to do some work."

I was so hungry, I had no other choice but to rob someone.

“Our family, young and old, is living nearby and is almost starving to death.”

"Please, let us go. We won't do it again. We really won't do it again."

Everyone else who saw this was speechless.

"Come on, take us to see where your family is."

Mo Yan remained unmoved and simply looked at them before speaking.

Now they were all very wary, looking at Mo Yan with some fear.
