The kick landed on Jiang Zhuzi's chest with such force that he was knocked to the ground.

When Xie Bai was about to kick again, torches suddenly lit up outside the yard, illuminating the whole sky and earth.

Everyone turned around to look, and discovered that dozens of men had gathered outside the yard, and many women and servants were rushing over.

These people did not rush in to help earlier because they were also frightened.

Everyone knows that Xu Yingtao has an eagle, but most people have never seen it.

Even if you have seen it, you would just think it is a giant free-range chicken.

Just now, with the help of moonlight, they finally got a glimpse of Xu Youqian's fighting power, and they were almost frightened to the point of having cramps in their calves.

My God, with this kind of guardian beast here, let alone seven or eight thieves, even if there were ten or eight more, they would still be beaten to a pulp.

When they mustered up the courage to enter the yard to arrest the man, they were stunned by Yan Yunlan's smooth and flowing stick techniques.

Everyone couldn't help but doubt life.

Are they still needed here?

No need at all!

Village chief Zheng took the torch from a villager and walked quickly into the yard with everyone. After confirming that Xu Yingtao's family was safe and sound, his frown finally relaxed.

On the other hand, the few people brought by Jiang Zhuzi, faced with the sudden arrival of the villagers, not only did they not show any fear, but instead they wailed and begged to be taken away like drowning people grasping at straws.

Village Chief Zheng looked at the men crying on the ground with disdain and ordered his men to tie them up first. Then he looked at Xu Yingtao and asked, "Yingtao, how are you going to deal with this?"

Xu Yingtao's face was stern, and there was no hesitation or pity in her voice: "Break one leg for each of them, and then send them to the county government office."

She did not think she was cruel. Jiang Zhuzi dared to bring seven or eight men to attack in the middle of the night. If she had not been prepared in advance, their family would be left orphaned and their mother would be in danger tonight. It would not be as simple as blindness and broken legs.

Village chief Zheng nodded and immediately appointed a few men to do this task. Several men from the main branch of the Xie family even volunteered.

As soon as he finished speaking, four or five young women suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt down in front of Xu Yingtao.

Xu Yingtao quickly moved aside, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion: "Aunts, what are you doing?"

One woman immediately choked up and begged, "Young Master, please have mercy on my useless elder brother. I never thought he would do such a stupid thing. I...I will work for you for free from now on, and I don't want your wages!"

The other woman also burst into tears: "Little Master, my brother is the lifeblood of my parents. If anything happens to him in our village, my parents will definitely come and beat me to death!"

Some women were so angry that they rushed to the man who was frightened to pee, raised their hands and slapped him several times, crying and cursing: "You are asking for death! I will bring back good news in two days. Now that you have done something like this, how can I continue to work in the workshop!"

They had no idea why their brothers were hanging out with Jiang Zhuzi, and they didn't even dare to think about how they would stay in the village if anything happened to the young master's family.

At this moment, fear, embarrassment and self-blame were intertwined into an impenetrable web, which almost suffocated them, but they had to plead for their brothers.

My mother's family was about to live a good life, but it was all ruined by these useless bastards!

The men of the women also came out one after another, intending to pull their wives up, but the women were determined to kneel down, so they had no choice but to kneel down beside their wives.

They were angry, disappointed with their brother-in-law, and ashamed to have such a brother-in-law.

But the wife has been married to them for many years, having given birth to children and taking care of the housework. Now that their life is getting better, how can she let the family be broken up because of her brother-in-law?

Even if you have to be thick-skinned, you have to ask the boss for help.

Xie Daniu had never had much presence in the village. Seeing this, he could not help but angrily scold the couples kneeling on the ground: "How dare you beg for mercy?! If it weren't for the eagle, and if my niece-in-law hadn't taken precautions in advance, I'm afraid that none of the second branch of the Xie family would be saved! Who will plead for their family then?"

Xu Yingtao glanced at Xie Daniu.

It feels both surprising and reasonable.

Xu Youqian, who was named, had already flown to the roof.

The night wind blew gently, causing its golden feathers to tremble slightly. Its eyes flashed sharp and cold light under the moonlight, and it was aware of all the movements around it.

There is no more laziness of free-range chicken.

Upon hearing this, several couples lowered their heads, and some women even covered their faces and burst into tears.

How could they not know that asking the young master to spare their brothers and brothers-in-law was an unreasonable and excessive request, but they could not bear to watch them having their legs broken and being sent to the authorities.

Just when everyone was so anxious that they didn't know what to do, Village Chief Zheng finally spoke.

He first said to the people kneeling on the ground: "Fellow villagers, we in Nanxi Village have always been a people who do not offend us. But tonight, they have provoked us. If we still let them go gently, wouldn't it be telling the people from other villages that our village is easy to bully? It is absolutely impossible for them to leave in one piece!"

Then he turned to look at Xu Yingtao, and his tone instantly softened: "Yingtao, Grandpa knows that you feel wronged, but we are all from the same village. We will meet each other in the future. Grandpa dares to ask for mercy on their behalf. Can you show some leniency and not send them to the authorities? Just break their legs. Do you think so?"

According to the laws of this dynasty, crimes like those committed by Jiang Zhuzi and others would at least result in exile, and once they leave, they would basically never be able to come back.

He didn't really want to plead for these bastards, but he thought that many of the girls in the village had married out and were scattered across the village. If they really fell out with other villages, those married girls would probably have a hard time in the future.

Xu Yingtao did not feel too aggrieved. Instead, she was quite understanding of those women who begged for mercy. It was just human nature, and she would not blame them.

But understanding is one thing, and not caring is totally impossible.

Since Village Chief Zheng has spoken, she should give the old village chief some face no matter what.

Xu Yingtao nodded: "Okay, let's do as Grandpa says."

Village chief Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the men to drag the people away.

Jiang Zhuzi was blind and had no idea of the situation around him. He originally thought that these people were just bluffing, but when he was really dragged away by two men on the left and right, he suddenly panicked.

Jiang Zhuzi completely ignored the severe pain in his eyes and began to struggle desperately, roaring hysterically: "Second sister! Save me, I know I was wrong, don't let anyone break my legs, please, second sister!"

Jiang wiped the tears from her face and turned her head away.

Soon, screams were heard in the distance.

The next morning, Xu Yingtao gave the women a day off and asked them to return to their parents' homes accompanied by their husbands and villagers to explain the whole story.

If her mother's village can understand, everyone can still do business happily in the future. If they insist on asking for an explanation, she is not afraid. She is right in this matter and she is not afraid of anyone making trouble.

As expected, after learning the truth, each family felt that they were in the wrong and chose to keep quiet.

Except for Mrs. Cao.

Even though she knew the whole story of how Jiang Zhuzi fell into this state, she still went to her lover, Chief Jiang, and asked angrily, "Jiang Daliang, Zhuzi is your biological son, are you going to take care of him or not?!"
