"Still planning to run, are you? Keep on running!" Yang Chuxia approached the man and slapped him on the face.
The man had arrows embedded in both of his legs, and he was in excruciating pain. Yang Chuxia wanted to hand him over to the authorities, but considering his large build, that wouldn't be easy.
Noticing the crowd that had courageously followed to watch the excitement, she said, "Can someone here do me a favor and fetch Constable Hong? This smelly man here is a thief who tried to steal my moneybag, and I happened to catch him in the act."
Yang Chuxia did not mention he was a kidnapper. She speculated there must be other accomplices in town and didn't want them to get wind of this and escape.
Everyone in Wangquan Town knew Constable Hong's name. Immediately, someone volunteered to fetch him. These days, people despised thieves and were eager to help.
