More than twenty chicken thieves were temporarily locked up in the vacant rooms of the Mo Family Ancestral Hall, guarded by eight villagers in rotation.
The bound and tied leader of the chicken thieves, unwilling to be easily captured, actually incited the villagers guarding them to help him escape his predicament, offering various benefits including money and beautiful women.
The villagers were unmoved and took the opportunity to severely beat up the leader, warning him to behave himself. In their eyes, a person who dreams of getting rich by petty theft like stealing chickens and dogs will certainly not achieve great things. If one really had the ability to obtain gold and silver treasures, why would he bother coming to a remote place like Liu Yang Village to steal chickens? Preposterous!
