Speaking of the way these two villages conduct themselves, Ye Zi'an said it was just the behavior of hooligans. When the bailiffs arrived, the women were the first to confront them. Once he and Ye Si appeared, the village girls stepped forward. These people weren't the slightest bit afraid of the authorities. The more people you sent, the entire village—men, women, old, and young—would all come out. If you dared to draw a knife, they dared to brandish pitchforks. They were incredibly united.
"So what you're saying is that they're essentially thuggish villages?" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Well, if that's the case, there's no need to hold back, just go in hard."
"Madam, these people aren't afraid of a hard approach. Some even say they should all be arrested; that way, it would be great to eat prison food and save on household provisions. I've called several Land Officers to go and probe what exactly these two villages are up to."
