Qin Yao had no idea about such a thing; she only knew the first half of the statement, and no one ever told her the second half.
Ordinary folks only remembered the first half: killing bandits is not a crime. They didn't expect there would be a reward afterward.
Manager Fan sighed when he saw Qin Yao's 'mistaken billion' expression,
"Alas, it's not surprising you didn't know. The county never publicizes it, and ordinary folks don't recognize a single character. It's quite normal to have some discrepancies as they can't understand the decrees posted at the city gate."
Moreover, whether or not she could receive the reward money depends on the County Magistrate's understanding of the decree itself, and even if Qin Yao went, she might not be able to get what she should.
Besides, so much time has passed now, and it's already too late to bring it up.
It was only upon seeing Qin Yao that Manager Fan wanted to inform her of it.
