Another incident where a woman was violated and killed by the Flower-Picking Thief occurred, and Huayang County was truly in a state of panic, with everyone in the streets and alleys talking about this shocking news.
The Government Office posted an increased reward notice, drawing a crowd that pointed and discussed in spirited conversation.
"Sir, it's about the recent affairs of the Flower-Picking Thief," Yuan Ye reported in front of the carriage.
Hoo Die also returned, jumping onto the carriage shaft and said, "Five hundred taels of silver, huh, Wen Si is really going all out."
They had heard about this case a while ago, and they weren't sure if it was because of this that their master wanted to come to Huayang County. They had agreed to detour to Yunnan but ended up turning back here.
