Meng Xing was still guarding the few people on the ground in the dilapidated temple, not knowing when Brother Luan and the people from the yamen would arrive.

Looking at the scarred man who had been stabbed in the leg, whose face quickly turned pale as the wound continued to bleed!

Meng Xing had no choice but to get up and approach him. He cut a strip of cloth from his clothes and quickly wrapped it around the bleeding wound. Because of the rough technique, the scarred man groaned in pain.

Okay, now you won't die!

Meng Xing clapped his hands, moved a stone from the entrance of the dilapidated temple, and sat down on it!

This was something Meng Xing was concerned about, and Luan Ge, who went to the yamen to call for help, did indeed encounter difficulties.

The constables at the county government office didn't take the report seriously because the person reporting the crime was a beggar; they simply tried to shoo him away.

Go away, go beg for food!

What nonsense are you spouting, you little beggar!

The constable on duty at the yamen gate today was in a good mood because he had done a good job with his boss recently. Although he was good at chasing away little beggars, he didn't lay a hand on anyone!

Sir, I'm telling the truth. A brother asked me to come and report this crime!

Brother Luan was extremely anxious, afraid that he would mess things up, so he kept explaining to the two of them!

Who would dare to rob someone on the road in the city? It's not like they're mountain bandits. The two didn't take Luan Ge's words to heart, thinking it was just a fight between city dwellers.

Get out of here right now! If you cause any more trouble, I'll have you thrown in jail!

The constable's face changed after being pestered by the little beggar. He lost his patience and kicked Brother Luan in the butt!

I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying!

Luan Ge shouted at the two of them.

Inside the yamen, the side door was open to the outside. Liu, the head constable, heard the commotion at the door and came out to scold the people.

What's all this noise about? This is the entrance to the government office, not the execution ground!

The constable guarding the gate, seeing that this was his superior, quickly reported it aloud.

Boss, it's this little beggar who's been causing trouble here. I told him to leave, but he just won't budge!

"Sir, sir, I've come to report a crime, but this man doesn't believe me!"

When Brother Luan saw that the person who came out seemed to be a higher-ranking official, he hurriedly shouted.

Reporting a crime? What crime are you reporting?

When Officer Liu saw that the person who reported the case was a beggar, he casually asked a question.

Your Honor, there's a gang of thugs at the Earth God Temple in the west of the city. They tried to rob a lady of her money, but they were subdued by her family. The lady asked me to come and report this to the police!

What?! Someone's robbing people in the city!

Upon hearing this, Officer Liu realized it was a major case! There have always been many thieves, but those who dare to directly rob people on the road are mostly vicious bandits!

Little beggar, you mustn't lie!

There are no officials involved. I'm telling the truth. My wife's family is still waiting at the local temple!

Okay, I believe you!

Notify the constables in the yamen to come with me to the Earth God Temple in the west of the city!

Seeing that the little beggar didn't seem to be lying, Officer Liu gave an order to the constables guarding the gate, and they prepared to head to the local temple!

Brother Luan led the constables to the local temple. Constable Liu saw several people lying in front of the temple gate, with blood on the ground! He quickly led the constables forward.

When Meng Xing saw that the county government officials had finally arrived, he got up from the rock and went to Constable Liu's side!

This constable is the one who robbed these beggars on the road.

But I've already subdued him!

Wasn't there supposed to be another wife? Where did she go?

My wife and her entourage went back first, leaving me here to wait for the officials from the yamen to arrive.

Liu, the head constable, saw that the people lying on the ground were all beggars and did not believe that these people would dare to cause trouble in the city!

Officer, they don't seem to be beggars. Go up and take a look. Although their hands and feet are dirty, the skin on their hands is very delicate!

The reason Meng Xing realized these people didn't look like beggars, besides his previous guess, was because when he bandaged Scarface's hands, he saw them up close. They were dirty, but not rough at all!

This is not how a homeless beggar should look!

"Oh?" Upon hearing what the person in front of him said, Officer Liu immediately took it to heart and walked towards the person closest to him, wanting to see what was going on.

The man lying on the ground was the short guy who had tried to back down earlier. When he saw the officers coming towards him, he was so frightened that he lowered his head and wished he could disappear on the spot!

When Constable Liu approached the man, without saying a word, he stepped on the man's arm and looked down at his hand!

The short beggar, whose name was Dwarf, had his arm stepped on. He didn't utter a sound, just buried his head in his chest!

Officer Liu examined the man's hands carefully. Just as the person who reported the crime said, the hands were dirty, but there was not a single wound. How could a beggar have such delicate skin?

Brothers, take a look, see if others are doing the same thing!

When the constables heard their leader speak, they all lowered their heads and looked at the hands of the men!

Boss, me too, mine too!

Boss, something's not right here!

There was a constable who was squatting on the ground. He originally wanted to look down at the beggar's hands, but the beggar's disheveled hair blocked his view. So he took his knife and flicked the beggar's hair to the side!

I glanced at the beggar's face by chance, and it seemed so familiar. Where have I seen him before?

No way, how could I possibly know a beggar!

The only people who feel familiar to me are prisoners!

The constable shook his head and was about to look at his hands when he suddenly stopped!

No, he's not a criminal, but he's a wanted criminal!

The reason why this person seemed familiar was simply because his portrait was posted in the county constable's office!

Boss, come quick! We've made a big discovery!

The constable shouted to his superior, suppressing his excitement, and forcefully restrained the person beneath him!

Ah, sir, spare my life! Sir, spare my life!

The beggar let out a piercing scream!

Stop howling and shut up!

The constable heard the pig-like screams of the man beneath him and thought that this man was truly a coward who feared death!

Sir, please be gentle; you're pressing on his wound!

Seeing the constables pressing down on the person beneath him with all their might, Meng Xing feared that if they waited any longer, they might actually send this person away!

Ah, ah! I didn't notice!

Hearing someone remind him, the constable loosened his grip slightly, but didn't release the person beneath him!

When Officer Liu heard his subordinate calling him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said;

What's wrong, Shunzi? What's wrong with you?

Head, look at this man's face, this man's face!

"What happened to his face?" Seeing his subordinate's agitated state, Officer Liu hurriedly stepped forward and brushed aside the beggar's long hair from his forehead!

Ok?

Officer Liu stared at the man's face and was momentarily stunned. How could this face look so much like the portrait in his office!

You guys, show them all your faces!

I'm afraid these people really are what I think they are!

Boss, I've made a discovery.

Boss, I've found something too!

Boss, this guy is Scarface!

Damn it, these aren't beggars, they're clearly a group of wanted criminals from the next county!

Brothers, get your weapons ready and keep an eye on them!

Officer Liu never expected that his impromptu visit would yield such a significant result!

He quickly ordered his men to tie up the men on the ground!

Young man, your discovery is very important. These people are wanted fugitives. You need to come with me to the yamen to explain the details and give a statement!

Officer Liu had the criminals taken away and then turned to Meng Xing to speak.

We still have to go to the county government office? Meng Xing hadn't expected things to be so troublesome. Since his wife had instructed him to report the case, he could only nod and follow Constable Liu back to the county government office to give his statement!

Oh, and you too, little brother, you came along too!

Liu, the head constable, thought that the little beggar was also begging in the city, and that he might be able to learn about this group of people indirectly from him. So he took Luan Ge to the county government office as well!
