Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Suddenly, an escort looked at Ye Fei and other members of the Ye and Wang families with a grim look:

"Why are you okay?"

"Did you take some magic medicine?"

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

Ye Fei clearly heard complex emotions such as anxiety, anger, and anticipation in the bailiff's tone.

But no one except Ye Fei knows the real reason.

Therefore, Ye Qingfeng, as the head of the Ye family, frowned and responded: "Sir, you are joking."

"We are just a bunch of fugitives. There is no magic formula for us."

"We eat and drink the same things as you do."

The escorts were very dissatisfied when they heard Ye Qingfeng's words.

However, Ye Fei heard several other escorts whispering to each other:

"This symptom was first caused by the fugitives who drank human blood..."

Ye Fei even saw the eyes of those escorts, all of them looked coldly and meaningfully at the other wave of prisoners.

A thin male prisoner who got the knife to free the prisoners, after untying the ropes that tied him to the other dead prisoners, suddenly and quickly cut the ropes on other prisoners around him.

Ye Fei felt that this skinny convict was very brave.

Moreover, Ye Fei could see the determination to give it all in his eyes.

Instead, the escort shouted, "What are you doing?"

The thin male convict holding the knife replied very calmly: "Sir, with so many of us gathered together, it's easy for us to be infected with the plague."

"I cut the cord to reduce infection."

"Sir, you don't want everyone to be infected, do you?"

The escorts frowned and did not respond.

Then, Ye Fei saw the thin male prisoner pass the bailiff's knife to other prisoners to cut the ropes.

Soon, apart from the shackles, handcuffs and shackles on their bodies, the group of prisoners also had relatively more free space to move around like the Ye family members.

Just when everyone thought they had to continue on their way, Ye Fei saw the thin male prisoner suddenly shout:

"Everyone, run."

"It's either way, we might as well give it a try."

"Run apart, don't gather together."

As he said this, he took the lead and started running.

The other prisoners who had just been granted a certain degree of freedom looked at the thin male prisoner in a daze.

Then, one by one, they all ran in different directions as if awakened.

Ye Fei felt that the thin male prisoner was too anxious.

Moreover, he chose the wrong timing.

Sure enough, the escorts became furious after seeing this scene and said, "Kill them all."

While chasing after the fleeing criminals, they also warned the people of the Ye and Wang families:

"You'd better stay still, otherwise..."

Ye Fei gave Jie Cha a cold look.

Of course she would not take Ye Qingyun and the others away now, because the time was not right yet.

But Ye Fei felt that their opportunity to escape would be coming soon, and they would not be wanted by the court by then.

The escorts were already tired from escorting the prisoners, and they had poor food and sleep.

Now the plague has hit, and they have been feeling depressed.

Now these escaped convicts just happened to become the targets for them to vent their anger.

All the fugitives they caught were killed by the escorts.

Seeing the brutality of the escorts, some of the fugitives who were trying to escape stopped and begged for mercy.

In fact, Ye Fei saw it very clearly. It was not that these prisoners really wanted to give up and beg for mercy, but that they were too weak to outrun the escorts.

Soon, a large number of these escaped convicts died.

Other prisoners who begged for mercy came back and knelt on the ground.

The bailiff looked at the fleeing prisoners from a distance and said coldly: "The plague was caused by you."

"Now, take off all your clothes."

"Anyone who has a rash on their body will die."

As if this was not enough, a bailiff came on horseback to Ye Fei and the others:

"Take off your clothes too, and check them all."

Ye Fei and the Ye family remained unmoved.

The bailiff felt that his authority was challenged, and he immediately yelled:

"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Ye Fei threw a piece of dry and hard soil on the ground and hit the horse's leg.

The horse was frightened and immediately fell to its knees, throwing the escort to the ground.

The bailiff wanted to get up immediately.

But the kneeling horse just wanted to stand up, and then it stepped on the messenger.

With a scream, a big hole was suddenly stepped on the escort's body.

"What happened? Who did it?"

When the other escorts heard the noise from Ye Fei and his group, they ran over and scolded them harshly.

Ye Qingyun stood in front of Ye Fei, pretending to be horrified and pointing at the escort who was stepped on, and said:

"Just now the horse suddenly fell down and stepped on this officer."

“It’s… it’s so scary.”

The escort who came over from behind took a look at the horse that had stood up without any problems and looked puzzled.

They seemed unable to believe that the horse had suddenly been frightened and fallen to its knees, stepping on someone.

However, they did not see any contact between the Ye family and the horses.

Finally, the escort could only look at the Ye family with a gloomy face and ordered: "Dig a hole and bury him."

This time, the people of the Ye family did not go against the bailiff.

Several descendants of the Ye family quickly dug a pit and buried the escort with his internal organs spilling all over the ground.

On the other hand, the captured fugitives were not let go by the escort after they were stripped for inspection.

Because Ye Fei heard their argument:

"You all have rashes on your bodies. We can't keep you."

"No, no, sir, you can't wrongly accuse us."

"You're still saying no, but I saw you guys scratching."

"We scratch because we're hot, not because we have a rash."

"That's because your rash is developing, otherwise why would it itch enough for you to scratch it?"

"We can't let you go, otherwise we will all be infected."

Then, the weak fugitives who ran back were once again slaughtered by the escorts with knives.

"Is it true that they are all infected?"

"Could it be that the bailiffs deliberately killed these fugitives to vent their anger or to reduce their burden?"

Ye Qingyun muttered softly as he watched this scene.

Ye Fei felt that what the bailiff said was almost correct.

Even if these fugitives are not infected today, they will soon be infected and die.

Because they had all drunk each other's blood, and they gathered together when traveling or resting.

Judging from the number of people infected among the exiles in recent days, Ye Fei has already anticipated the severity of the situation in the future.

She felt that the thin male prisoner had probably realized this, so he was fighting hard to fight for his life.

As long as there is a way to survive, they will not take the risk of choosing to escape.

After killing another wave of prisoners, the escort covered his face tightly and suddenly ordered the Ye family:

"You all... come here and bury them."

Ye Qingfeng protested: "They are all infected with the disease. If we go to bury them, won't we get infected too?"

After killing so many fugitives in an instant, the escorts' eyes became red with anger.
