The constables had been temporarily reallocated to maintain order in the bustling city, so as they passed through a street and entered a place with lanterns where many families lived and a few scattered stalls, they heard screams in the distance. Some people began to cautiously peek in their direction.
Manbao and her companions were driving the carriage with their heads soaked in sweat. When they saw these people, it was as if they had seen saviors, and they immediately shouted, "Help! Please help us—"
The people couldn't see the individuals tied and being dragged behind the carriage. Upon seeing the young girls driving the carriage calling for help, the crowd, filled with a sense of justice, immediately jostled each other and rushed forward.
Seeing that someone was finally coming to their assistance, Manbao immediately shouted to the ones behind, "I'm stopping the carriage, I'm stopping the carriage."
