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

Ye Fei looked at their gloomy faces and reminded them, "Master, it's too troublesome for so many people to dig a pit."

"It's better to burn it with fire, it will burn more cleanly."

The Ye family thought this method was feasible.

Before the escort could say anything, they all went out to gather together the dry haystacks on the plain.

Then it was thrown far away onto the bodies of the convicts.

The escorts watched the Ye family busying around with expressionless faces, and finally found a tinderbox and set the haystack on fire.

The weather was dry, the fire was fierce, and black smoke rose straight into the sky.

After the Ye family threw away the haystack, Ye Fei took them away from the cremation scene.

Although these convicts were already dead, it would still be dangerous for them to breathe the air from the burning corpses.

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

The escorts felt relieved when they saw the raging fire.

Then they urged the Ye and Wang families to hurry on their way.

Ye Fei understood very well what the escorts were thinking.

Because they encountered an infectious disease, they killed the fugitives without restraint and without mercy.

Because they have legitimate excuses to deal with the court's investigation.

Ye Fei's mood was a bit complicated at this moment.

The exile team of nearly a thousand people now has less than half of them left.

The remaining 400 or so escorts can now escort almost one fugitive each.

Without the burden of another wave of convicts, Ye Fei and the Ye and Wang family members traveled much faster.

Even the bailiffs frequently cast surprised glances at them.

Ye Fei even heard the escorts talking from time to time: "Are their bodies really that good?"

"How come it's been so long, and we haven't seen any of them fall down or have any problems?"

Because the escorts' attention shifted to the Ye family, Ye Fei was more alert than usual in the next few days.

Until one night, Ye Fei noticed the sound of the police walking towards them quietly.

She immediately shouted loudly: "Who is it?"

"Don't play tricks on me."

Ye Fei's voice attracted the attention of everyone in the Ye family.

Because it was at night, Ye Fei's voice was particularly clear.

The sound reached the ears of other members of the Ye and Wang families who were enjoying the spiritual spring water and food in the distance, making them mentally prepared.

The other members of the Ye family who stayed with Ye Fei's family, such as Ye Qingfeng, reacted quickly and cooperated with Ye Fei:

"Sir, Sir, help!"

"Is there a ghost coming?"

Ye Qingfeng and the rest of the Ye family stood up to provide cover for the other members of the Ye family behind them.

At the same time, they were talking and shouting about all sorts of things.

"What are you shouting about? What ghost? Where did the ghost come from?"

"It's us."

"We are just here to check just in case. We are in the middle of nowhere after all."

"Look how scared you all are. What bad luck!"

The escorts who were walking towards Ye Fei and the others heard the Ye family members shouting and cursing angrily.

Afterwards, one of the escorts reluctantly lit a torch.

Ye Fei snorted coldly.

What these escorts said sounded nice.

After all, they had doubts about the Ye family, so they wanted to investigate under the cover of night.

However, they did not expect that they would fail in their attempt. Ye Fei noticed them at the first moment and interrupted their attempts to approach.

After hearing the words of the escort, Ye Qingfeng pretended that he had just found out their identities.

He softened his tone and responded loudly in surprise and politeness: "So it's you, the officers."

"Thank you for your hard work, officers. Actually, there is nothing to inspect right now."

"This is a remote place, and we are a group of fugitives."

"No one will miss us, and there is nothing worth missing about us."

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard Ye Qingfeng's words.

She was a little surprised that Ye Qingfeng would say such a thing.

The one who was just as surprised as Ye Fei was Wang Xiangjun.

He asked quietly, "Why did you suddenly become a different person?"

Ye Qingfeng snorted softly: "What's the big deal?"

"For the sake of our Ye family, I will make no changes that are too much."

Ye Fei felt that this was indeed Ye Qingfeng's style.

Those interpreters were obviously still unhappy.

One of them asked angrily, "Who was the first to shout?"

"Aren't you tired or hungry enough?"

"Don't you need to sleep so late?"

Ye Qingfeng replied seriously: "Sir, you are joking."

"Just now it was just a child having a nightmare, and he suddenly woke up scared."

Whether the escorts were happy or not, their plan was ultimately ruined.

They could only return to their resting place cursing.

The torches went out and the night darkened again.

The Ye family members who had been lying on the ground not far away and dared not make any noise, finally started moving again.

When they were on the road the next day, Ye Fei led the Ye family and the Wang family and ran straight ahead of the police.

The escorts were stunned.

Then, an escort reacted and said angrily:

"Stop, are you trying to escape?"

"Didn't you see what happened to those escaped convicts before?"

Ye Fei replied to the bailiff in her childish voice, "No, officer."

"We are not running away, we are just afraid of dragging you down."

"So we want to make more time now while the weather is not so hot."

After saying that, Ye Fei and everyone in the Ye family continued to rush forward without stopping.

Their thinking and speed made it impossible for the interpreters to handle them.

Many escorts started cursing: "What a bastard."

"Who is the escort and who is the exile?"

"We are the ones escorting them, why do we feel like they are manipulating us now?"

Other escorts urged: "Stop cursing here and hurry up and catch up."

"Didn't you see they all ran to the front?"

"Don't think that we are faster than them just because we have horses."

"With this horrible weather, and the fact that we have to carry food and water, the horses are already overloaded."

"Now not only is my throat smoking, but the horse's throat is also smoking."

A group of escorts rode forward on horseback, looking indignant.

Unfortunately, the horse is no longer as spirited as it was when it was first exiled.

Their speed had slowed down long ago, just like humans.

Before Ye Fei and his companions ran so fast, the escorts didn't think so.

Now Ye Fei and his men were running so fast that the escorts' horses suddenly seemed extremely slow.

"Horse, horse, run faster."

"Now is the time when we need you. You cannot fall behind."

"We usually treat you with food and drinks, you must do your best."

Some escorts coaxed the horses forward with kind words.

Some escorts forcefully ordered the horses to run forward.

Other escorts raised their whips and began to whip the horses.

But no matter what methods the escorts used, the exhausted horses still couldn't speed up.
