Chapter 16.

Yu Hang spoke vocally, kept dancing with his hands, and made onomatopoeic sounds from his mouth, simulating the movement of swinging a sword.

He had no choice, what could he do?

The only way to hide it from the public was to tell the truth.

What happened he really said, but the identity of the mysterious person, he said false.

This was the best way to conceal it.

Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie both looked at each other and fell into silence with each other.

They did not suspect Yu Hang.

It was because Yu Hang himself was a native of Anding County, and his family was clean, so clean that a casual check would make it clear.

It was impossible for such a clean person to cross paths with a mysterious expert.

And Yu Hang’s own intercourse, there is only a hair small Zhou An.

As for Zhou An …… that is even simpler.

“The mysterious expert appeared in the tiny Anding County, he must have some plans.” Zhang Si County said, “But before that, we first have to settle the Gray Mouse Worshiper.”

There were priorities.

The Gray Rat Worshipper had already killed two people and had to be taken care of first.

As for the mysterious expert, it had to be put on the back burner.

After all, it wasn’t clear whether it was a friend or foe, so one couldn’t rashly go and mess with it.

“Lord Zhang, do you have a target?” Sheriff Xie asked.

Zhang Si Xian nodded his head and said, “This Beast Cult has appeared before, I’ll go back and check the intelligence, perhaps I can break through the current predicament.”

After saying that, Zhang Si Xian gazed at Yu Hang.

Yu Hang was listening with his ears perked up, the more he listened, the more energized he became, when he was suddenly swept by Zhang Si Xian’s gaze, he immediately stood up straight, pretending to act as if he hadn’t heard.

“Since you’ve been targeted, you can’t go back, otherwise it’s very dangerous, for these few days you’ll temporarily stay at the government office, with Sheriff Xie here, you should be able to be free of worries.” Zhang Si Xian said.

Yu Hang nodded his head quickly.

Although his good brother was ridiculously strong, his good brother was not willing to expose his identity, and it was impossible for him to go back.

According to normal logic, if one was unclear about the identity of the mysterious expert, one should be choosing to stay at this time.

Yu Hang could only follow this logic as well.

“Rest first.” Sheriff Xie said, “I’ll also be staying at the courthouse for the next few days to see if I can keep watch.”

There was nothing else to do next.

Yu Hang was put into a room and stayed there.

Zhang Si Xian left the yamen alone and mysteriously.

The following day.

Zhou An woke up and washed up, ate a breakfast at the stall outside, and leisurely prepared to go to the county office to touch the fish.

What happened last night seemed like it never happened.

When Zhou An walked into the courthouse, he happened to bump into Yu Hang, and the two of them gave each other a wink, already understanding what the other wanted to say.

Zhou An went to the room where he touched the fish as usual, poured a cup of tea, and slowly drank a few mouthfuls of it before he stood up and went out of the door with his long knife.

Yesterday he thought for a long time and felt that two hours every night was just too short.

To ensure that he rested, and to ensure that he had the job of constable, then he would have to find a way in other areas.

Rest was a must, one had to be well refreshed in this kind of world.

And the job of constable represented the officialdom, and at times, it might be able to bring out unexpected effects.

So, Zhou An decided to find a balance between the two.

Both being able to touch the fish while working, and also being able to practice his sword skills while touching the fish.

Zhou An left the room and walked straight towards another house.

Just as he pushed open the door, he smelled the aroma of a meal.

This was the government office’s kitchen, where the constables could take their meals.

If they did not dine, they could receive some monthly allowance.

The Great Chu Kingdom had very good welfare for those who were officials, even for them, the constables.

Zhou An usually did not eat here, so he could still receive some extra silver each month.

As he pushed open the door, he saw the cook who was working on the stove.

The cook was very old, in his sixties, with gray hair and a thin body, but his eyes were bright.

It was said that many people came to apply for the job at that time, but in the end, this old man was chosen.

There was no other reason, the old man’s cauldron dishes were just too good.

It was supposed to be a camp that recruited kitchens, and delicious was the supreme reason.

“Old Liu, still busy?” Zhou An smiled.

Cook Liu was washing vegetables, and after hearing this, he gave Zhou An a strange look, “Why are you free to come over?”

As the kitchen’s cook, who came to eat and who didn’t, he knew it very well in his heart, Zhou An had never come here to eat.

When he suddenly appeared this day, Cook Liu felt it was strange.

“This is not to discuss something with you.”

Zhou An walked to the side, moved a small matzah by hand, and sat across from Chef Liu.

“Some time ago, didn’t you talk to the county magistrate to let the constable who doesn’t patrol the streets help to cook, how do you think I’m doing?”

Not long ago, Cook Liu had often complained to the county magistrate that he was overwhelmed by doing the chopping, washing, and cooking and panning of rice all by himself.

The magistrate then thought, why don’t we just choose people from some of the constables who didn’t patrol the streets, and these constables would come over to help the cook when they were idle.

Of course, not for nothing, you can eat a free lunch here every day.

But after this proposal came out, none of them came, because a lunch is not worth a few dollars, and they still have to work.

This group of guys were already used to touching fish and letting them come over to help in the kitchen, it was simply harder than killing them.

Zhou An was different, he thought for a while yesterday and decided to use this method.

When he was idle, he came over to help the cook, and when he was helping the cook, he cut the vegetables by the way, and didn’t he have this knife skill?

And it’s also a good name, and he can keep his job as a constable.

Perfect!

“Didn’t you used to be reluctant? And not even willing to eat.” Cook Liu sniffed and frowned, his face full of doubt.

Zhou An mysteriously said, “Old Liu, do you think it’s peaceful lately?”

Cook Liu thought for a moment and shook his head, “It’s not peaceful, it’s making a lot of noise, the rats are able to worship people, and they’re also emptying out their internal organs, it’s something, I think it’s quite troublesome.”

“That’s not it.” Zhou An said, “What is the most important thing in an unpeaceful world? Money! We need to save some money as soon as we can.”

“But can not save much ah ……” Liu cook speechless: “just a meal.”

Zhou An said seriously, “You can’t say that, if you can save a little bit is a little bit, money is saved.”

Cook Liu fell into silence, after a while, said, “Then you have to promise me that this must be done for a long time, as long as you are not patrolling the streets, or have a case to do, you must come and help the cook.”

“Must.” Zhou An patted his chest and promised.

Cook Liu believed it for the time being and explained to Zhou An that he would immediately go and inform the county magistrate to finalize this.

Zhou An did not say anything more, and after saying a few words of thanks, he went back to the room where he touched the fish and continued to drink tea.
