MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill

Chapter 9 There are experts in Anding County

On the black shadow's chest, there are more than a dozen gaps, one after another, densely packed like a spider web.

The upper body of the black shadow tilted, fell to the ground, and broke into a dozen parts with a snap.

 The remaining parts were like toppled dominoes, falling one after another and scattered all over the ground.

The room fell into silence, and the black shadow completely disappeared.

The sense of crisis lingering in his heart disappeared completely. Zhou An sheathed the sword, and the state of enlightenment in his heart was gone.

ˆ【Sword Skill +2】

A line of text appeared in front of my eyes. These dozen swords were displayed in a state of enlightenment, and their proficiency was improved.

 The shadows under my feet also disappeared, and the feeling of restraint gradually dissipated.

Zhou An looked at the squirrel at the door and walked closer.

 He poked it twice with a long knife to confirm that it was just an ordinary gray rat.

 “Go back to the Yamen first and report the matter.”

Zhou An made up her mind and checked the house. After finding no trace of herself, she took the man lying on the ground and left quietly.

 Leaving the alley, he first asked a merchant on the street to look after the man, and then he went to the Yamen and told Capt. Xie what had happened.

Xie Captou is drinking tea.

 Ordinary fishing can still catch fish, let alone catching the head.

 As the only head catcher in the entire Anding County, Captou Xie has always lived a very happy life.

 “What? Someone died again, or the same way?”

When Xie Captou heard Zhou An's report, he put down the tea cup and hurriedly left the room without even finishing the tea.

Before leaving, he asked Zhou An not to run around and don't let Zhou An interfere with this matter.

Zhou An knew clearly that Xie Captou was going to find the county magistrate, and then through the county magistrate, let the town commander handle the matter.

 Not long after, Capt. Xie came back, gathered all the spies and walked towards the alley.

 After arriving at the alley, Capt. Xie only did one thing, which was to surround the alley to prevent ordinary people from entering.

Zhou An is also one of them. He and Yu Hang are guarding an entrance.

 “Are you not in danger?” Yu Hang also knew that Zhou An discovered it, so he asked with concern.

Zhou An shook his head and said he was not in danger: "It's nothing big, just found a body. By the way, looks like this, it's time for the Suppressant to come, right?"

Yu Hang nodded: "When something like this happens, we can only ask the Suppressant to come. After all, they are professionals. We are responsible for maintaining order."

The security in Anding County is maintained by police officers, but when something weird happens, there will naturally be police officers to deal with it.

“The county magistrate seems to have disappeared these days.” Zhou An said casually.

The county magistrate did not come forward for major matters involving human life. Moreover, during the recent period, most of the time, the master was responsible for conveying the news. Even when they met, only Mr. Xie could see him.

Yu Hang chuckled and dismissed it: "It is said that it is for selection purposes, so I am immersed in writing articles."

Selection is also held annually, but it does not involve ordinary people, but people who are already officials. They pass the annual examination and are admitted to higher positions.

This kind is much stricter. First, you need to write an article and have it read by the Holy Spirit himself.

 Those who pass will go through a second inspection, which is to inspect the various governance levels in the place where they work.

These are all standards, the selection time is approaching, and the county magistrate also wants to climb up.

“It really tarnishes the reputation of scholars.” Yu Hang sneered: “If the purpose of studying is just to become an official, then why should he do it?”

Zhou An frowned: "Be careful, don't talk nonsense about certain things."

 Don't let others hear these things. After hearing this, it will be difficult for Yuhang to get along in Anding County.

Yu Hang said: "There are only two people here, so it's okay to chat. I just can't get angry." Zhou An knows the character of his young man. Despite his usual appearance of not having anything to do with him, in fact, his character changes at certain times. Especially strong.

While the two were chatting like this, there was finally something moving in the alley, and a group of people in black uniforms walked in from outside the alley.

 There were about a dozen of them, each of them had a serious face, and their aura was much stronger than that of the surrounding police officers.

 The person walking at the front was a middle-aged man with a long knife on his waist.

 The most eye-catching thing is his right hand, which is holding the long sword. It is thicker than his left hand.

Zhou Anshun took a look and already had an idea in his mind.

This is a master, and he is a master with a knife.

Although this man looks plain, his square face with the Chinese character for Chinese characters exudes seriousness and seriousness.

Xie Captou hurriedly greeted him: "Zhang Si County, you are finally here, go this way."

 The Great Chu State was divided into counties, prefectures and capitals from bottom to top.

 Zhenguisi has different management names at each level, and is divided into Si County, Si Fu, Si Zhou and Si Jing.

The Zhang Si County in front of me is the leader of the Guisi in Anding County.

 According to official position, he is at the same level as the county magistrate, so Xie Captou is very respectful.

 Zhang Si County, with a sense of dignity and righteousness, nodded: "Take me to see it."

Xie Captou did not dare to neglect, and quickly led the people who suppressed the scheming to the room at the end of the alley.

Zhang Sixian walked in, and not long after, he walked out of the room and said a few words to Mr. Xie.

Xie Captou hurriedly responded, and then rushed towards Zhou An.

Zhou An was still chatting with Yu Hang. While chatting, he was thinking about how to improve his proficiency when he went back.

 After hearing the footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head and saw Capt. Xie approaching.

“Zhou An, come with me,” Xie said.

Zhou An didn't know what he was being asked to do, but he nodded in agreement and followed Xie Captou to the room at the end of the alley.

 The room was still dark, and several members of the Suppression Force were examining the little girl's body.

 There were a few people checking the gray rat carcass at the door.

 “Master Zhang, Zhou An is here.” Xie Baotou cupped his hands and said.

 “I’ve met Mr. Zhang,” Zhou And said.

 Zhang Sixian stared at Zhou An and made a dull voice: "Was the squirrel at the door before you came?"

Zhou An shook his head: "Not at the door, a black shadow suddenly appeared and attacked me, but before he could attack, a sword flashed past, and the black shadow disappeared."

Zhou An has already thought about this matter, and what he says must be partly true and partly false in order to get through.

He doesn't want to expose himself, not for anything else, but mainly because the world is too dangerous. It's best to have a golden finger and slowly survive until you are invincible.

 Zhangsi County fell into silence.

 It was quiet all around.

Xie Captou asked: "Master Zhang, what have you discovered?"

Zhang Sixian shook his head and said: "The origin of the gray rat's worship of people has not yet been discovered, but it seems that a master of swordsmanship has come to the county."

"The sword light formed a line. This person has superb swordsmanship. He should have used all his strength to cut out a line of sword light."

Zhou An lowered his head so that no one could see his expression at the moment.
