Wan Zhuliu had already caught a glimpse of it; it was a bag of gold leaves.
Gold leaves are much more valuable than silver. Just this amount is enough for Mr. Wan to do his fur business for half a month.
Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu did not say anything and waited for the other party to speak.
The middle-aged man forced a smile on his face. "Wan Xun, this is our first meeting, so I'm not being respectful. My niece is in the room. She got injured practicing swordplay. She has nothing to do with these bandits!"
Hearing this, Wan Zhuliu hesitated for a moment, then closed his knife.
"I'll go and see for myself!"
After saying that, he strode into a room in the martial arts hall and saw a person lying on the bed.
The person was wearing a plain white long dress, half lying down, with black hair draped over her shoulders and a delicate face. The sunlight coming in from the window shone on her snow-white skin, giving it a soft, flesh-colored glow. She was a rare beauty.
The only flaw was that his face was pale, and a little below his left shoulder, where it was wrapped in a bandage, was oozing a red tinge.
Wan Zhuliu met the woman's gaze for a long while.
He cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you, young lady!"
Then he walked out the door again and looked at the nervous middle-aged man outside, "How could such a delicate and weak woman be a bandit?"
"You agree, right? Haha!"
After that, he smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Pack up the team and go to the next one!"
Upon hearing the news, the patrol officers left the martial arts hall in an orderly manner and continued to search the next house.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, winked at the martial artists on both sides, and quickly closed the door.
Leaving the martial arts gym, we entered another shop.
At this time, Song Yicai quietly walked over to his side and asked, "Boss, I've seen it, it doesn't look like a sword wound. Do you really want to check it out?"
Wan Zhuliu turned around and patted Song Yi on the shoulder.
"Patrol officer, you only get ten taels of silver a month, what's the point of risking your life?"
After saying this, his eyes darkened. "In that martial arts hall, there are three people in the middle stage of Tongli Realm, one in the peak stage of Tongli Realm, and more than ten in the middle and late stages of Bone Duan Realm. If a fight breaks out, I'm not sure I can protect you all!"
"Besides..." He pointed at the gold leaf in his pocket, "The other person's intention is clear, so don't make things difficult for yourself. Just write down the situation truthfully and report it later!"
"If that happens, what if the higher-ups blame us and ask why we didn't arrest anyone?"
"Put the blame on Hong Shou and say that we didn't pursue the matter because of him and the fourth patrol captain." Wan Zhuliu smiled faintly.
“…”
Song Yi was stunned and suddenly felt that he still had a lot to learn.
Sure enough, the search lasted until night, but nothing was found.
The chief inspector checked the reports from each team and verified them one by one. Finally, he saw the Sixiang Martial Arts School reported by Team Three and frowned.
"Hong Shou, why hasn't this suspect been arrested?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Shou saw that this was not the area he was responsible for, and immediately said to Wan Zhuliu, "The Chief Patrol is asking you a question. What's going on?"
"Reporting to the Chief Patrol, we wanted to arrest him, but the person in charge of the martial arts school said..." Wan Zhuliu looked hesitant.
"What happened?"
"He said that Hong Xun was his best friend, and Zhao Xun from Team 4 was his nephew. We figured, with the relationship between Hong Xun and Zhao Xun, there was no way they were harboring a suspect, so we didn't do anything about it and just recorded it!"
"Ridiculous!" The Chief Patrolman was furious, his eyes sweeping over Hong Shou and Zhao Zhen from Team 4, "Is this true?"
The two of them remained silent.
Seeing this, the Chief Patrolman had already guessed most of what was going on. He immediately looked at the patrolmen behind Wan Zhuliu and asked, "Is that so?"
When everyone heard this, they realized that only by following Wan Zhuliu's words could they be exempted from punishment. They didn't care about the specific details and just agreed.
"That's what Wan Xun said!"
"Yes, yes, exactly!"
“…”
Upon hearing this, the Chief Patrol fell silent. He knew all the twists and turns in the patrol department, so it was not appropriate for him to get angry at this time.
After a moment, he said sternly, "This criminal is incredibly bold. When he sneaked into the city at night, he injured Governor Zhao's only son. You should know how serious this is. We can't afford to delay our work!"
Then he pointed at Zhao Zhen and Hong Shou and said, "You two, take everyone from Team 3 and Team 4 and go catch them!"
Upon hearing this, the two knew that there was no room for maneuver at this moment, so they had to quickly agree and lead the team to set off.
Halfway.
Hong Xun glanced at Wan Zhuliu with a gloomy look, "Wan Zhuliu, I don't have any grudge against you, right? Why did you do this to me today?"
"Mess with you?" Wan Zhuliu said innocently, "If I hadn't given you face, Hong Xun, I would have smashed that martial arts school long ago. Hong Xun's question has left me... at a loss!"
"Okay, when we go to the Sixiang Martial Arts School later, you just keep an eye on the owner and make sure to stop him!" Hong Shou sneered.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Bang!
The door of the Sixiang Martial Arts School was knocked open, and more than forty people filed in.
Hearing this noise, the middle-aged man seen before rushed out immediately.
"What do you do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Zhuliu rushed out and said, "The government is investigating the case, why don't you surrender quickly?"
As he jumped out, he didn't forget to shout, "Princess Hong, Police Zhao, I'm stopping him, go and catch him!"
"Zhao Zhen?" The middle-aged man also widened his eyes as he stepped back.
"Fuck!" Zhao Zhen in the back looked depressed. He even wore a mask because he was afraid that his uncle would recognize him. However, Wan Zhuliu's loud shouting exposed him directly.
This made him a little exasperated, and he said to Hong Shou: "Hong Xun, the people you lead are really proactive, huh!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the martial arts hall.
