When Liu Rong and his entourage arrived at Yanmen County, Zhidu had just ordered a thorough investigation of the county and a re-registration of the household register. The county's senior and junior officials were busy every day, and the village elders, roving guards, and miser were also busy.
When the team passed Mayi, they met three pavilion chiefs in succession. Each of them had a hemp rope in his hand, behind which were tied the wanderers, scoundrels and evil boys who had been captured during the inspection.
Normally, these people roamed around the countryside, and unless they committed serious crimes, the government rarely ordered their arrest.
Unfortunately, they encountered Zhidu and were unlucky enough to encounter a major case of assassination of Yunzhong prefect, so they could no longer let him off lightly as before. In addition, the villagers were fed up with these idlers and scoundrels, and reported them to the Shangguan Temple. Notices were posted in various counties, and the county lieutenant personally led troops to arrest the people.
Since their immediate superiors had already taken action, the patrol officers and guards could not sit idly by. In the vicinity of Mayi alone, more than a dozen rangers and rogues were arrested.
