Chapter 271 Send them to the authorities
These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene, with cries and curses filling the air:
"You utterly depraved beast!"
"My poor daughter!"
"Kill these damned devils!"
The villagers, as if possessed, rushed onto the platform and began punching and kicking the bandit leader and Taoist Lingyun.
"Give me back my daughter!"
"You beast who deserves to be struck by lightning!"
Master Lingyun clutched his head and screamed in agony, "I was forced into this! Please, have mercy on me!"
But no one paid any attention to his pleas for mercy. Fists rained down on him, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The village chief rushed onto the stage to stop the crowd: "Don't kill them! We have to hand them over to the authorities for investigation!"
Several villagers with bloodshot eyes roared, "What are you trying to do, send officials to us! Kill these beasts right now!"
The village chief said in a deep voice, "How can we save the girls who have been sold if we don't hand them over to the authorities? If you beat them to death, we won't be able to save the girls in our village who have been sold!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads, and they immediately stopped.
"Yes! Hand them over to the authorities! Let the officials help us rescue the girls from our village who have been sold!"
Xu Ji, holding a megaphone, shouted: "The prefect of Bingzhou is a good official who stands up for the people. He hates evil and is upright and incorruptible. If you want to rescue the girls in your village who have been sold, go and complain to the prefect of Bingzhou."
"Yes! Let's go and complain to the prefect of Bingzhou! The prefect of Bingzhou is a good official!" the villagers responded excitedly.
At this moment, the village chief turned around and knelt down in front of Yun Qingqing and the others: "Thank you all for exposing the truth!"
Upon seeing this, the villagers all knelt down in unison, their cries of gratitude rising and falling.
"Thank you so much for saving our whole village!"
"If it weren't for you, we would still be kept in the dark!"
Yun Chengying snorted coldly: "Didn't someone just call us liars and try to arrest us?"
The villagers who had been shouting the loudest immediately lowered their heads in shame, and Old Man Zhang even kowtowed and apologized.
"The old man is senile; he should apologize to his benefactor!"
Other villagers also apologized.
Seeing this, Yun Chengying waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop apologizing. Let's put this behind us."
Yun Qingqing said to Xu Ji, "Give that bandit leader a pill that will make him lose all his martial arts skills, so that he won't cause trouble on the road."
Xu Ji smiled and responded, then quickly walked to the bandit leader, squatted down, and was about to feed him the pills.
The bandit leader clenched his teeth in terror, refusing to take the pill. Xu Ji simply dislocated his jaw, threw the pill in, and then closed it again.
Xu Ji clapped his hands and stood up: "If you don't behave, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
The bandit leader was terrified when he realized his internal energy was rapidly draining away.
"What did you feed me?!" He glared at Xu Ji, his eyes filled with terror and hatred.
Xu Ji said calmly, "A pill that will make you lose all your martial arts skills."
Seeing the bandit leader's face turn deathly pale, he slowly added, "Don't worry, you won't die, it just means you won't be able to lift a knife anymore."
These words completely shattered the bandit leader's psychological defenses, leaving him filled with despair.
"It's over, it's all over..." he muttered to himself in a daze.
Xu Ji ignored him and went to Yun Qingqing's side.
“Little Qingqing, this bandit leader is already a cripple. We can leave the rest to these villagers. We can go now.”
Yun Qingqing nodded and was about to say she was going back when she suddenly remembered something. She took the megaphone from Xu Ji and was about to ask about Xiao Dashan's wife when she saw Xiao Dashan rushing towards them.
