Chapter 14 Escort Agency
The man seemed to be taking a leisurely walk, occasionally saying a few words, "Didn't you eat? With such little strength, who can you beat?"

Zhang San was provoked to the point of losing his mind and started to fight with him regardless of the consequences.

"Go and call the police over." Wang Qingyou ordered Li Wu.

As soon as he went out, he met the soldiers who came over after hearing the fighting. "Sir, there is a stranger in here. Check to see if he is the prisoner you are looking for."

Even though they were so far away, Lin Tou could spot Zhu Long at a glance, because they had been chasing him for too long.

Even from the back, he could still recognize someone.

Zhu Long saw the soldiers coming in and grinned, "Oh, there are quite a few brothers here this time, but you guys can't catch me with just a few of you."

He tried to climb the wall with an easy jump, but something hit his wrist and he fell off the wall in pain.

The police took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, arrest him, and tie him up.

"Aren't you very good at running and jumping? Why don't you jump now? Don't you like jumping anymore?" Lintou asked a series of questions.

Zhu Long lowered his head in frustration, "You guys are lucky this time."

He looked at the red and swollen mark on his wrist. This must have been someone's intentional hit with great force, just like the cup that had just flown at him.

It's that little girl.

Zhu Long reacted and looked at Wang Qingyou.

Wang Qingyou also understood that he had seen through her work, but so what?
She tilted her head towards the man.

Zhu Long gave a playful smile.

"You helped us catch this criminal this time. I will report the matter to the county magistrate truthfully. There may be a reward at that time. I will do my best to help you get it."

After saying this, Lintou took Zhu Long away.

No one thought about rewards. It was just that the thief was too arrogant, so he was caught by them.

"I'll go find out where he comes from tomorrow." Wang Guihua said a little worriedly.

"Big sister, I'll go." Li Wu said.

It doesn't matter who goes; what matters is who can get the news.

Wang Guihua was naturally not as good as Li Wu, so she did not argue with him anymore.

The next morning, Wang Qingyou went to find the old woman again. Not only did she have people and houses, but she could also introduce jobs.

"It's probably not easy to find a job." The old woman said, "Besides, you are a woman, and I have a lot of people waiting for you here."

"I'm very strong." said Wang Qingyou.

"No matter how strong you are, you can only be as strong as an adult man, but they still can't find a job." The old woman didn't think Wang Qingyou was very strong. After all, she was not a little girl yet.

Wang Qingyou picked up the broom placed aside and with a little force, the broom broke into two pieces.

The old woman looked at Wang Qingyou with eyes wide open. "You are indeed very strong, but strength is not worth much nowadays. How many people with only a little strength are looking for work? In the past, even if you just carried cloth bags, you could earn twenty cents a day. Now you carry more things than before, but the price has dropped to only a dozen cents."

Only a dozen cents a day.

Even if I carry cloth bags every day, it will take me a long time to earn back the money and return it to Zhang San.

"Is there anything else that requires strength?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "Now that the disaster victims have entered the city, there are more people looking for work. Even if there are recruits, they will definitely look for local people. Unless you are willing to sell your bodies, you may be able to find a good family." Selling yourself as a slave is something Wang Qingyou has never thought about, and naturally she would not do it.

"Why don't you try your luck at the dock? Maybe you can find something to do."

Wang Qingyou followed the advice of the old woman and went to the pier. It was not a big place, but it was crowded with people.

One person shouted, "Looking for ten strong men to carry one ton of cargo, ten cents each."

It was calculated that it only cost one hundred coins to move one ton of goods.

Wang Qingyou also deeply felt that this line of work was not suitable for her.

Wang Qingyou returned home with nothing gained. Li Wu had already brought back the news. It turned out that the man was called Zhu Long. He had stolen a lot of money. Even the county magistrate had been stolen by him. Not only did he steal, he was also very arrogant. He would wait for the officials to arrive at the scene of the crime and then shake them off.

He had planned the routes carefully and had never failed, but this time he unexpectedly met Wang Qingyou, who knocked him down from the tree with a cup, and then threw a stone at him when he was climbing the wall, knocking him down again.

"I heard that he was sent to prison and will be incarcerated for at least ten years."

The man was arrested yesterday. The county magistrate quickly tried the case and sentenced him to ten years in prison.

One can imagine how anxious the county magistrate was to catch the man.

Wang Guihua breathed a sigh of relief. "He definitely won't come back to retaliate against us if he can't get out for ten years."

"What are you afraid of? Even if he comes, we still have Third Brother and Miss Qingyou."

Zhang San patted the back of his head, as if he was still used to this action, "Don't take me with you, I really can't beat him in terms of strength."

"That's because Third Brother gave in to him. I know that." When Li Wu is around, there always seems to be no shortage of laughter.

"Is anyone home?" There was a knock on the door.

Li Wu hurried to open the door. It was two constables, led by Lin Tou.

"We are here to give you a reward. The county magistrate knows that the thief was caught with the help of your family, so he gave you a reward."

He pulled open the red cloth, revealing three silver ingots on top, a total of thirty taels of silver, which was truly an unexpected fortune.

Zhang San stuffed a dime into Lintou's pocket.

Zhang San handed the silver to Wang Qingyou.

"You caught this, it has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think I don't know what you did?"

Wang Qingyou touched his nose and looked like he didn't know what I was talking about.

Finally, with Zhang San's insistence, Wang Qingyou got a silver ingot.

She gave the money to Wang Guihua. She felt more at ease with the money. Even if she didn't say it, Wang Qingyou could feel her anxiety.

This bounty gave her an idea. Since the bounty was so valuable, she might as well help the government to chase criminals. As long as she could get the bounty, wouldn't she be rich?

However, she quickly rejected the idea. If she was alone, she would not be afraid, but now she has her sister and mother behind her, so she cannot do such a risky thing.

What other job can she do? She is unfamiliar with the place.

"Qin'an Escort Agency is recruiting. Anyone who is physically strong and under 30 years old can sign up."
