"Is it you?"
Situ Ye looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in red and black clothes and holding a knife. His bright black eyes couldn't help but show a bit of judgment.
The person in front of him was exactly the constable who caught the perverted murderer whom he had met in the dark alley on a rainy night when he was looking for the missing Yu Xiaotian in Yunshui Town.
"My name is Duan Yunfei, and I'm a constable from the Six Gates of the capital."
As Duan Yunfei spoke, he pulled out a brown badge from his waist and showed it to Situ Ye and Han Yichen. On one side of the badge was printed the gilded character "Six" and on the other the character "Duan." It was indeed the badge held by the chief constables of the Six Gates of the capital.
"This woman's name is Luo Wanhong. She's a rapist, robber, and a notorious thief. Duan has been chasing her from north to south for over six months. Over that time, Duan has caught Luo Wanhong assaulting men numerous times, saving at least dozens of them."
"But the hateful thing is that Luo Wanhong is extremely cunning. Every time when Duan is about to catch her, she slips away." Duan Yunfei sighed slightly.
"Isn't it because you are too useless?" Han Yichen glanced at Duan Yunfei and said slowly.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Shame on you! Shame on you!"
Duan Yunfei smiled awkwardly.
"Thanks to you two gentlemen for your help today, I was able to apprehend this notorious grass-cutting thief. I will report your achievements to the Ministry of Justice, and the court will reward you accordingly."
After Duan Yunfei finished speaking, he planned to bend down to pull Luo Wanhong who was knocked to the ground, but he was unexpectedly blocked by Situ Ye with his mighty and strong body.
"According to Captain Duan, this man must be a criminal that is causing the imperial court a lot of headaches?" Situ Ye said seriously with a cold face.
"Luo Wanhong committed rape, robbery and all kinds of evil. She is definitely a vicious person. Otherwise, Duan would not have spent half a year chasing her from north to south." Duan Yunfei, who finally completed his mission, couldn't help but sigh.
"Captain Duan, we're just commoners. Rewards from the imperial court are simply too far-fetched for us. I think... for a criminal as heinous as Luo Wanhong, the government should offer a reward for help in capturing him, right?"
Situ Ye pointed at Luo Wanhong lying on the ground, rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and gestured to Duan Yunfei.
"Bounty?"
“Cough cough cough…”
"Duan understands. Could it be that you two are bounty hunters?"
Situ Ye: ...
Han Yichen: ...
(If you say so, then it is.)
"However, the capital is a long way from here. If you two were to go to the capital to claim the reward, the round trip would be too time-consuming, and the food, drink, toilet and accommodation along the way would also cost a lot of money."
Duan Yunfei rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before continuing, "How about this, you two? I'll advance the official bounty to you, and you hand Luo Wanhong over to me. That way, both of us will be happy. How about this?"
"That depends on how sincere you are, Captain Duan..." Situ Ye rubbed his fingers again to signal Duan Yunfei.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Duan understands! Duan understands!"
Duan Yunfei said embarrassedly. Then he saw her take out a stack of 100 taels of silver notes from her bosom, counted out ten of them, and put them into Situ Ye's hand.
"hehe……"
"One thousand taels of silver? It's an insult to my worth!" Luo Wanhong, who was lying on the ground, sneered disdainfully.
"Captain Duan, I think... your sincerity is not very good." Han Yichen narrowed his narrow and long phoenix eyes and looked at Duan Yunfei with a smile.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Duan just gave me a small change, a small change!"
Duan Yunfei smiled awkwardly. Then she placed the large stack of banknotes in her hand into Situ Ye's hands, and signaled him with her eyes to hand Luo Wanhong over to her.
"hehe……"
"You want to buy my life with just a few thousand taels of silver? It's such a joke!" Although she was unfortunately caught, Luo Wanhong didn't want her mortal enemy Duan Yunfei to have an easy time.
"Captain Duan, look...if you're really not sincere..."
Situ Ye pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Luo Wanhong lying on the ground, then looked at Duan Yunfei who was gritting his teeth at Luo Wanhong.
“Cough cough cough…”
"How about this? I'll give you 20,000 taels of silver. I don't have that much silver on me right now, so I'll mortgage this jade pendant to you. I'll redeem it with silver later, is that okay?"
Duan Yunfei took out a jade pendant from his arms, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Situ Ye.
Situ Ye held the banknote in his left hand and the jade pendant in his right hand and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a good piece of jade, but it was probably not worth tens of thousands of taels.
"Forget it. Besides my badge and sword, I'll give you all the money I have! This person is very important to me. I need to take her to the Ministry of Justice for trial as soon as possible."
Then Duan Yunfei took out a few silver ingots from her sleeves, a dagger that could cut through iron like mud from her boots, and finally a few silver bills from the soles of her shoes.
"Take it! Take it!"
Han Yichen looked at the silver bills that Duan Yunfei picked out from the sole of his shoe with disdain, and only asked for two ingots of ten taels of silver and the dagger that could cut through iron like mud.
So, in the end, Duan Yunfei spent five thousand five hundred taels of silver notes to buy a jade pendant, plus a dagger that could cut through iron like mud and twenty taels of silver in cash, and took Luo Wanhong away from Situ Ye and Han Yichen.
"Qingcheng, this is for you!"
Situ Ye came to the carriage and handed Hua Qingcheng the banknotes, silver, jade pendant, and dagger he had just earned. His eyes sparkled, and he looked like someone begging for praise. In Hua Qingcheng's eyes, he looked like a well-behaved golden retriever begging for a favor.
