Bailiffs Being Toyed With

According to Elixir Cauldron Peak's research, eating meat buns for a long time can cause nutritional imbalance and incomplete physical development. In order to improve the meals of the yamen runners, the kind-hearted Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou decided to do something.

In the morning, the hardworking Master Lu and Master Meng decided to pack up all the meat buns and take them away, forcing them to eat vegetarian food for balanced nutrition, and urging the yamen runners to exercise more, run more often, and keep their muscles and bones flexible.

The constables gladly accepted the two experts' advice and expressed their determination to follow in their footsteps, catch up with them as soon as possible, and personally express their gratitude.

These two experts don't just talk the talk; they personally take to running to prove the feasibility of their health theories.

The constables were deeply moved and began to run to exercise, and they ran for the entire morning.

The constables thought the experts' advice was correct, so they promoted the two experts' reputations for free. Before long, the entire town could hear the constables' shouts.

"You two, stop right there if you dare!"

"You two bastards, I promise I won't kill you!"

"If you're not going to eat the meat bun, what are you going to get?"

The constables were furious and relentlessly pursued Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou dared not be caught by the constables, so they turned and ran, leaving the constables to eat their dust.

As they ran, Lu Yang said, "The rules really weren't lying. Look how dangerous these constables are. They're chasing us relentlessly even though we haven't done anything. We can't let them catch us."

Meng Jingzhou wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right. Luckily, we're both at the Foundation Establishment Realm. If it were anyone else, they would have been caught up long ago."

The constables tried to take a detour to intercept the two, but the two were already familiar with the town map and couldn't be stopped at all.

The two men led the constables on a run from morning until nightfall. Towards the end, the constables were clearly exhausted and panting heavily, their steps unsteady.

At 9 PM, the two returned to the inn carrying meat buns. The constables glared at them fiercely, and they reluctantly returned to the government office.

According to the [Rules of the Yamen Servants of Buyi Town], they must stay at the government office between 9 PM and 7 AM.

The two were somewhat disappointed. They had made many preparations at the inn, and if the yamen runners could have entered, they would have been pleasantly surprised.

What a pity.

On the fifth day at 9:00 AM, the usually lazy yamen runners arrived at the restaurant on time.

In the past, they would arrive 15 minutes late, wait until a large crowd had gathered, and then suddenly appear to scare people. If they were lucky, they could even break necks.

They changed this habit so that they could eat meat buns.

I was starving after running around all day yesterday without getting any meat buns, so I rushed over here and ate as much as I could before those two scoundrels could do anything.

Halfway through their meal, they saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou leisurely emerge from the inn.

"How dare they show their faces in front of us again!" The constables were furious when they remembered yesterday, and they were determined to catch these two people no matter what!

Lu Yang said calmly, "I advise you not to chase me, or something terrible will happen."

"Who are you trying to scare!" The head constable clearly didn't believe Lu Yang's words and thought it was just a bluff.

There are only twenty-one rules in Buyi Town, so the situation Lu Yang described will never happen.

"Superior!"

Seeing that they wouldn't listen to their advice, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou sighed and turned to run away.

The constables hadn't run far when one of them clutched his stomach, rolling on the ground in pain, sweat beading on his forehead. "My lower abdomen hurts so much!"

As if a chain reaction had begun, one person after another clutched their stomach and cried out in pain. Even the head constable couldn't bear it anymore and curled up on the ground to reduce the pain, unable to even stand up.

"The meat buns are poisoned..." The head constable stared intently at Lu Yang, convinced that they were the ones who had poisoned them.

Lu Yang strolled over leisurely. "I told you guys a long time ago not to chase us, but you didn't listen. Now you're in trouble, aren't you?"

"Where did you get the poison from?!" The head constable couldn't understand. The pharmacy owner would never have prepared poison for Lu Yang. Where did Lu Yang get the poison?

Lu Yang squatted down, patted the head constable on the head, and said kindly, "Remember, don't do strenuous exercise after meals, or you'll easily get appendicitis."

"Read more books. Don't think everything is poison. We are a reputable sect, why would we use poison?"

As one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Ask Dao Sect acts with integrity and never does anything as despicable as poisoning.

At least none of the surviving enemies have encountered any cases of poisoning by the Ask Dao Sect.

The constables were writhing on the ground in agony from the pain in their lower abdomens. The constables who were still alright stood there, afraid of Lu Yang, and dared not move. Just like that, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou disappeared from the constables' sight without any trouble.

What the two didn't notice was the gaze of the people from Buyi Town standing by the roadside, their eyes filled with fear.

"Luckily, these two were following the ordinary rules. If they had dressed in black and become yamen runners, would we have had any chance of survival?"

"Who says otherwise? They even claim to be from a reputable sect, but I bet they're infiltrating the righteous path from some evil cult!"

The people of Buyi Town were thankful that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were on their side; otherwise, they feared they wouldn't have survived more than three days.

On the sixth day at 9:00 AM, the constables got smarter. They took the meat buns but didn't eat them, instead blocking the entrance to the inn.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had anticipated this and escaped by climbing out of a second-floor window.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away!" Two days of resentment had accumulated to a terrifying degree. The constables, recalling the painful experience of yesterday, wished they could tear them apart.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou became increasingly adept at running, and what the constables didn't notice was that, as they chased them, they ended up on the territory of the private school.

When the private tutor saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, he gritted his teeth and summoned the students who were studying in the private school.

The students in the private school could no longer be called human; they were covered in black hair, had long snouts, and some were even lying on the ground, just one step away from becoming black dogs.

"Seize them!" the private tutor ordered.

The constables were enraged when they saw this; how dare they try to take someone from them!

The private tutor wanted to meet Lu Yang's gaze, but Lu Yang was prepared and took out a bronze mirror to cover his face.

"Just look at your ugly face!"

The private tutor saw his own skinless face and bloodshot eyes in the bronze mirror, let out a wail, his body changed, and he quickly returned to the academy to sew his mouth shut.

Without the private tutor's guidance, the black dog man, following his previous orders, started fighting with the constables.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou grabbed a constable and tried to strip him of his clothes, but they found that they couldn't get them off no matter what they did.

They could simply settle for second best and search the constables for the "Rules of the Constables of Buyi Town".

Like the shopkeepers, the constables always carried the rules with them to prevent forgetting them.

Having obtained what they wanted, the two made their escape.

As for the constables, the two chose to respect their wishes and let them fight if they wanted.
