The Greatest Divine Constable

Lu Xiao transmigrates into the Great Yong dynasty as the lowest-ranking jail attendant in the Qinghe County yamen. On his very first day, he stumbles upon something absurd: a notorious bandit with a thirty-tael bounty on the wanted list has apparently been paid off and brazenly released from the county jail. Even more absurdly, a “Criminal Pursuit Record” appears in his mind. As long as he personally captures a genuine wanted criminal, he can claim that person’s greatest skill. So while everyone else is busy seeing their guests off, Lu Xiao turns around and claps the man in irons again. Capture a bandit, gain Iron Arm Skill. Capture a burglar, gain the Art of Lightness. Capture a master of disguise, gain the Thousand Faces Technique. Capture a criminal who has terrorized several prefectures, and he can take their decades of inner strength outright. At first, Lu Xiao only wants to earn bounty money, get an official badge, and redeem the old saber his father left behind. But when wanted posters from the prefectural city, provincial capitals, and the imperial capital start landing in front of him, he finally realizes: other people see desperate criminals. He sees nothing but walking bundles of skills.
