Chapter 610 Going to Jail

After everyone had left, Xia Yu asked, "Madam, what do we do now?"

"Get out while there's chaos."

Since she couldn't find Ling Silang outside, she believed that Ling Silang's team must be not far from here, so she might as well create some commotion from behind.

Before Du Mingxian and Xia Yu had even left the cave, they could hear the sounds of fighting coming from inside, and the scene was chaotic.

Both of them wore face masks. Xia Yu and Du Mingxian walked forward, occasionally adding insult to injury to make it easier for those people to rush out.

There weren't many people left to guard the cave to begin with, and now they were caught off guard from behind. Soon, the guards were killed, and the weapon-forging masters rushed out.

Du Mingxian and Xia Yu were now standing in the forbidden area of ​​the village. By the moonlight, they walked forward. Du Mingxian knew where the village chief's house was.

When he reached the door, the person was gone and the house was empty.

She went to her third aunt's house again, but it was empty.

This puzzled her greatly. Why did the people of the previous dynasty, who had already abandoned this village, still have people in the village they had worked so hard to protect, while this village they had abandoned was deserted?

I really can't figure it out.

After the vanguard rushed out, they quickly escaped under the moonlight. Du Mingxian and Xia Yu searched the village, but every house was empty and no one was there.

"Madam, this is strange."

"Hmm, I see. Let's go and keep watch outside the nearest county town."

Such a big village, and there's not a single person here. Something must have happened. News of it will spread to the county.

The two arrived outside the county town that night and kept watch there.

As dawn broke, they entered the city immediately. The city was unusually lively today, with everyone hurrying in one direction.

Du Mingxian stopped an older woman, "Auntie, where are you going?"

"You must be from out of town. There's going to be some excitement today."

"What's all the commotion about?"

"The bandits have been captured and will be paraded through the streets today before being beheaded. Find a good spot to squat down and you can still beat up the bandits a couple of times."

After the old lady finished speaking, she left. Du Mingxian didn't rush to go. She and Xia Yu found a place to eat. After eating, Du Mingxian held An'an in her arms and asked Xia Yu to find a doctor to take her pulse and brew some medicine.

Since it's a public parade, they'll definitely come out later.

The two waited at the pharmacy. Soon the street became lively. Du Mingxian took the child out to see what was happening and quickly saw a procession led by the village chief. Everyone was wearing prison clothes and looked like stray dogs as they walked forward.

All of them were familiar faces from when Du Mingxian lived in that village; she even saw Hu Zi's mother.

Du Mingxian watched as the officials lazily pushed them forward, and noticed that Hu Zi's mother's face was extremely pale, clearly indicating that she was seriously ill. This kind woman...

"Madam, what's wrong?" Xia Yu sensed that Du Mingxian was in a bad mood.

Du Mingxian pointed to Hu Zi's mother, "She was the midwife, a woman with a tragic fate. Go and find out what the arrangements are for these people."

"Yes."

Xia Yu went to inquire, but Du Mingxian didn't move; she was wondering what the chances of saving the person were.

Xia Yu returned shortly afterward; such a big matter was easy to find out.

"After they finished swimming, they all went back to the prison, had their last meal, and then each of them was hooded and dragged to the big plaque to be beheaded."

"A hood?"

With their faces covered, there's a lot more room for manipulation.

"Yes, a hood."

Du Mingxian still wanted to rescue the people, but on the other hand, she wanted to see what these people were up to. "Xia Yu, you meet me outside the cell, I want to go in and take a look."

"Madam, we don't know how many people are lurking in the shadows; it's too dangerous."

"Remember my words: if you see the man at the very front of the parade come out, kill him immediately."

"Yes."

That man is the old man's son; he must know a lot. We can't capture him alive, so we might as well kill him.

Du Mingxian and Xia Yu arrived at the prison cell ahead of her. It was broad daylight, so it was difficult for Du Mingxian to get in. After lingering for a while, she and Xia Yu started arguing at the door.

Both of them got dirty, and the gist of it was that one of them stole the other's husband, and then they took the matter out into the street.

When a constable saw them and tried to drive them away, Xia Yu immediately stepped forward and stuffed silver into his hand. "Sir, arrest this slut and make her spend some time in jail. She dared to seduce my husband. I'll make her regret it."

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph, still trying to deny it. I saw my husband, who hadn't come home all night, leaving your house once before, and you still won't admit it."

"I really didn't, sir, you have to believe me."

Xia Yu threatened, "I'll make sure you can't sleep at night in jail." After saying that, she gave the officer ten taels of silver, "Officer, don't look down on her because she's dirty. She's still a woman. It'll be good for you to vent your frustrations if you lock her up."

No man is immune to lust, especially when it's offered to him for free with money to be won. The officer was tempted and shoved Du Mingxian toward the prison.

Du Mingxian struggled for a moment, then followed them into the prison.

There was something important going on at the yamen today, so the officials weren't in a hurry and just wanted to come back later to vent their frustrations.

A short while later, Du Mingxian saw those people return, but they were separated and detained.

She had just escaped from the prison when the officials weren't looking, found a corner, and went straight into her spatial dimension, so she could see clearly now.

The village chief and others were locked up together, while the others were locked up together.

Soon another group of people came in and were locked up on the other side.

A short while later, the person who brought the food didn't arrive; instead, someone brought clothes for the village chief and others, as well as water for washing.
