After being unconscious for two consecutive days, Mu Tu faintly woke up. His injuries had been healed by the coroner's office long ago, and Doctor Di had almost healed him. However, because the battle with King Thief, Dao Buting, had consumed too much energy, he took two more days to recuperate.

The moment he opened his eyes, Mu Tu discovered that Head Constable Cai's niece, Cai Suhong, was obediently sleeping at his bedside. It was as if this girl was taking care of him these past two days. It was just that the little girl's sleeping posture was a bit ungraceful, and the position of her hand was even more awkward. Mu Tu gently shifted his body, but unexpectedly, because of the movement, Cai Suhong who was fast asleep was awakened.

"Brat, you're awake!" Before he came in, the Head Constable Cai's candid voice sounded from outside the house.

"Mn, Uncle Cai," Mu Tu lowered his head, holding back the sparkling and translucent drop from the corner of his eye, and rubbed his eyes.

"Alright, haha, don't eat yet. Let's find something to fill the gap. Uncle Cai will go outside the city to get some wild animals to replenish your body." "Oh right, don't forget to pay a visit to the county magistrate. This time, at least let's get him to bleed a little." With that, the Head Constable Cai happily ruffled Mu Tu's hair, and with blade in hand, he ran out of the yamen in high spirits.

Mu Tu rubbed some of the hunger pangs and realized that there were a lot of fruits and pastries piled up on the table. After eating a few mouthfuls, he headed to the back hall. He had to hide from this damned magistrate whenever he was in trouble.

In the back hall of the yamen, the county magistrate was still happily sipping tea while hugging a pretty maid. From time to time, he would lower his head and eat a few mouthfuls of the maidservant's rouge, teasing her while blushing.

Seeing that it was Mu Tu who broke through the door and entered, the county magistrate's face flashed with anger, but his tone did not reveal it, "This time, for a villain like Dao Buting to be caught by our Guangyuan yamen, quickly consider it as the merit that I have given you, it seems that my hard work in nurturing you has not been in vain."

Mu Tu lowered his head and curled his lips in disdain, but said: "Many thanks to the Lord for his guidance, I am unable to thank him."

The county magistrate stroked his multicolored beard in satisfaction. "Fine!" I have decided to hand Dao Buting over to you as a messenger to be escorted to the official office of Yichang, the place where the thieves are dealt with. This was a rare opportunity! Alright, you can go down and prepare to leave the next day. "

Without waiting for Mu Tu's response, the county magistrate waved his hand, allowing Mu Tu to leave. This fellow was truly spiteful, refusing to bring out even the slightest bit of benefits. Now that Wu Lin had once again risen to prominence, even a harmonious society had been broken. Was it a long journey to escort a criminal or a beautiful job? 'Pah! If he could hide at home and drink milk, why would he go out to drink the wind? '

Taking a big gulp of the alcohol and eating the coarse-roasted bear's paw that was just right in front of him, Head Constable Cai asked unhappily, "So you're saying that the county magistrate only wants you to escort the criminals without giving you any actual benefits? This old thing is getting more and more out of hand. "

Mu Tu bit the bear's kidney in his mouth, but before he could swallow it, he replied slurred, "That's right, they gave me a good match and told me to set off the next day."

"Beautiful? Bullsh * t. The days were getting more and more chaotic. If they could hide from their families, who would come out to run errands for them? You brat, you're the same. At such a young age, you don't have to stay at home, yet you come out and do whatever it takes to be a constable. " The concerned inquiry that the Head Constable Cai revealed seemed to be unintentional.

"I want to join Wulin Congress, but I didn't bring along enough for now, I heard that you get rich quickly," Mu Tu embarrassedly burped.

The Head Constable Cai looked at Mu Tu meaningfully, and was about to say something when he heard a commotion coming from outside.

"Oh no, there's a jailbreak."

Then, a flustered bailiff ran in and gasped for breath: "Head Constable Cai, little constable Mu, quick, bad news, Dao Buting was taken away! The magistrate ordered the two of you to head to the main hall as soon as possible to discuss this matter. "

Head Constable Cai and Mu Tu looked at each other, then picked up their swords and rushed towards the main hall.

He hadn't even entered the room when he heard the county magistrate mumbling absentmindedly, "What should I do? What should I do!?"

"This lowly subordinate pays his respects to the lord," Mu Tu and Head Constable Cai entered the main hall and bowed to the County Magistrate.

Head Constable Cai, according to the reports of the jailers, a group of thieves had just injured the jailer and robbed Dao Buting away. What do you think we should do?

"My lord, I was too anxious to know what the warrant for the capture is …"

The county magistrate embarrassedly interrupted the Head Constable Cai's words, "I already sent a pigeon to the Yichang Office yesterday."

Head Constable Cai swept his gaze across the county magistrate and faintly sighed, "Since that's the case, do you know who the thief is and what kind of clues he left behind?"

"Head of the prison, tell Head Constable Cai," the county magistrate kicked the trembling head of the prison, who was still kneeling by the side.

"Before we could warn them, we were injured by those bandits. They all covered their faces with black veils, and we do not know who did it." The head of the prison trembled as he knelt at the side, trembling slightly. Perhaps he had suffered internal injuries, "But I left a letter at the scene. It's been left as evidence in the cell. I didn't dare to touch it."

"Mu Tu, go with him to get the letter." Head Constable Cai said to Mu Tu who was standing at the side like a log.

Mu Tu cupped his hands towards Head Constable Cai and quickly followed the head of the prison back.

Watching Mu Tu and the prison guard's figure disappear from the courtyard, the county magistrate spoke to the Head Constable Cai in a low voice, "Have you heard everything clearly? "Maybe …" He gestured at his own neck.

Head Constable Cai did not reply, he only shook his head and sighed.

After a while, Mu Tu flew into the room and respectfully placed a letter that was clearly stained with blood on the table, "Sir, a letter."
