A nearby constable quickly gestured and whispered solemnly, "Brother Ma, quiet! Don't startle the thief. There are ten taels of reward silver waiting for us!"
"Sigh... fine!" Ma Zehua sighed. For ten taels of reward silver, he had no choice but to tough it out.
Ma Zehua was quite powerful, so Chen Cheng had assigned him to a district where wealthy families resided. Such areas were often prone to major cases.
Of course, Chen Cheng didn't expect his constables to fight to the death. They were only required to be vigilant and call for backup immediately upon spotting a thief.
Thus, when assigning personnel, he paired the constables up according to their respective strengths.
