The messenger said, "Just catch the demon."

Wu Yu said: "Although my ability is limited, I didn't know that there were thousands of demons and thieves in my jurisdiction! If we send troops now, we will force them to revolt. This matter is nothing more than a gathering of villagers to do Buddhist work to collect money. You can find them by hand. "
