Ye Qingyun said it with confidence.
The two guards who came to arrest people frowned and looked back at the innkeeper:
"You're not talking nonsense for the reward, are you?"
The innkeeper immediately looked at the guard flatteringly and replied, "How is that possible?"
"I have been doing business in Yuecheng for a long time. How could I take such a big risk for a small reward?"
"If you two officials don't believe me, you can ask them to show their travel permits."
"They definitely don't have any pass on them."
"I can never make a mistake when it comes to judging people."
Upon hearing this, the two guards stretched out their hands towards Ye Qingyun and said, "Show us your pass."
Ye Qingyun glared at the innkeeper fiercely.
How could this family possibly come up with a pass?
But even so, Ye Qingyun still calmly explained:
"Officials, we do not have a pass."
When the innkeeper heard this, he immediately took credit for it from the guard as if he had been injected with chicken blood:
"See, see, they really didn't."
"I didn't wrong them."
The two guards immediately took Ye Fei and his family away.
Ye Qingyun suddenly stood in front of Ye Fei and the others.
"Even if we don't have a pass with us now, it doesn't prove that we are refugees who just sneaked in."
"The great darkness before made people panic."
"My whole family was so scared that we didn't even care about the pass."
"Although it is daylight now, we can't find the guide if we go back to look for it."
"Everyone, please be honest with yourself. Were you not panicked at all when the Great Darkness happened before?"
"Does everyone who entered Moon City before the Great Darkness still have their pass?"
"If they are wrongly accused of being refugees because of this, how many innocent people in Yuecheng will be implicated?"
Ye Qingyun said these words to the people who were watching the fun.
After all, the guards' sudden arrival to arrest the refugees had attracted a lot of onlookers on the street.
The crowd around them immediately started talking:
"That makes sense. We can't conclude that we are refugees just because we suddenly lose our travel permit."
"When the Great Darkness first started, people in Moon City were in a state of panic, and there was a lot of chaos at that time."
"And even if they are refugees, they shouldn't be arrested since they have already entered Moon City."
"They didn't steal, they didn't rob, and they didn't break the law."
"Besides, the City Lord's Mansion issued the order to offer a bounty for the capture of refugees in order to maintain the stability of Moon City."
"The Lord Mayor's original intention was definitely not to embarrass the refugees."
"Didn't the city lord send people to help the refugees outside before?"
"This shows that the city lord sympathizes with and cares about the refugees."
Just like in modern times, people tend to favor the weak.
At this time, Ye Fei's family was regarded as the weaklings by everyone.
Everyone spoke up for Ye Fei and the others.
The two guards frowned even more as they listened to these discussions.
Then they looked at Ye Qingyun in a relatively gentle tone and said, "Even so, we still want you to come with us."
"If we verify that you are not refugees who suddenly broke in, we will naturally let you go."
It seems that these troubles are unavoidable.
Just when Ye Fei was about to make a scene in Yuecheng and then leave, the owner of the inn who agreed to let Ye Fei and his family stay there spoke:
"Actually, it wouldn't hurt for you to follow them."
"I believe that the City Lord's Mansion will not wrongly accuse you."
"Although our Moon City is a little off the beaten track, it's not a barbaric place."
"Otherwise, the prefect who is 500 kilometers away from Yuecheng would not come here often in the past."
“You know, other cities closer to the prefect don’t have such treatment.”
Ye Fei: (ー_ー)!!
500 kilometers?
Where exactly is Yuecheng located?
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times 500 kilometers is considered across provinces, right?
It seems that she can't just make a scene in Yuecheng and then walk away.
After all, just because she could bear it alone didn't mean Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling could also bear it.
They really need to find a place to stay now, and then consider whether to leave Yuecheng after recuperating.
Ye Fei and Ye Qingyun looked at each other.
The father and daughter understood each other's thoughts tacitly.
Ye Qingyun looked at the two guards with a generous expression: "In that case, we are willing to go with you."
In this way, Ye Fei went into the cell for the second time.
Just like when they were locked up in the prison in the capital before, the jailers here also searched Ye Fei's family.
Ye Fei was well prepared.
She only left a ten-liang silver note on Ye Qingyun's body, and took the rest of the silver notes and put them into the space.
In consideration of the ten taels of silver, the jailer did not make things too difficult for Ye Fei's family.
In addition, they made Ye Fei's family stay in one cell.
After all, the City Lord's Mansion has not yet determined the nature of Ye Fei's family.
The jailer can do this as he pleases and it is not against the rules.
Ye Qingyun looked at the jailer who was leaving and asked, "Sir, please prepare some food and water for us."
The jailer did not respond.
Ye Qingyun opened his mouth and said nothing more.
The jailers must have heard it, but whether they were willing to do these things was not something Ye Qingyun could control.
"Well, even though I'm not staying in an inn, it feels good to be able to live in a cell."
"It's better than the great darkness before and..."
And the days on the road to exile and on the mountain of beasts.
Ye Fei knew what he was going to say next.
However, Ye Qingyun did not continue speaking here.
Walls have ears.
Although Ye Fei's family is now in prison, Ye Qingyun still remembers the importance of being cautious in what he says and does.
"Okay, there's no point in saying this now."
"Let's just stay at the inn. We can save some money if we stay in the cell..."
Lin Xue'e spoke to comfort Ye Fei and the others.
But speaking of money, she suddenly remembered that the jailer had just taken away ten taels of silver from them.
Ten taels of silver!
I don’t know how long Ye Fei and his friends can stay in the inn and how much they can eat.
"It's still a loss..."
Lin Xue'e shook her head helplessly.
The atmosphere became strange, as if Ye Fei and his family were not here to go to jail but to recuperate.
Not long after, the jailer brought porridge and water.
Ye Fei lost his appetite when looking at these things.
After all, I took ten taels of silver from them, and this is all you give me?
It's too shabby.
She refused to eat, and Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling came to persuade her.
Only when they were sure that Ye Fei really had no appetite did they sigh and give up.
The night was dead silent.
Apart from the faint light of the fire in the cell, there were also the light or heavy breathing and snoring of the people in the cell.
Ye Fei opened her eyes.
At the same time, she pressed the sleeping acupoints of Ye Qingyun and the other two.
Then she entered the space and ran out of the cell.
Her goal was clear: to run to the inn that informed them that their family were refugees.
That innkeeper must pay.
