Chapter 83.

“Oh?” When Zhang Si Xian heard Zhou An say this, his eyes lit up with a thief, “Zhou An, what method do you have?”

Zhou An said, “A person who wants to erase his history does not exist, because he himself exists in this world.”

“Any stay for a period of time will leave traces behind, Lord Zhang might as well try to start with these few people we have come into contact with, his wives and concubines, including Feng Ye.”

This was the method Zhou An thought of.

There was no absolute perfection in this world.

As long as there had been traces left in the world, then everything was traceable, and the difference only lay in whether it was hidden or not.

From beginning to end, it was true that the mysterious man had not appeared and there were no traces, but it did not mean that there were no clues.

His wives and concubines, including Qingliu Village, were all clues.

Zhang Si Xian sniffed and fell into deep thought, and after a few moments, he nodded and said, “For today’s solution, this is the only way, Zhou An, will you join us in the investigation?”

Zhou An shook his head, “I won’t go, Lord Zhang, don’t forget my identity, I’m just a constable, and in this line of work, you guys are the professionals, whether it’s intelligence or otherwise, you guys have more than me.”

It was still the same saying, what is professional, leave it to the professionals.

In terms of being able to fight, Zhou An could beat up a bunch of people by himself, but in terms of finding people and clues, it was still the Zhen Gui Si that was more specialized.

You can’t share your information with me, can you?

If that’s the case, then I can look into it together.

Instead of doing useless work, why don’t we seize the time and improve the Butcher’s Sword Technique?

Not to mention the fact that we’re going to fight for equipment tomorrow, which is an important part of the process.

“Let’s go.”

Zhou An did not continue to stay and turned around to leave.

As for the aftermath, naturally, Zhang Si Xian and the others would handle it.

Dealing with the aftermath, they were professionals.

After leaving the Zhen Gui Si, Zhou An headed to Spring Dawn House.

The constable of Spring Dawn House was still asleep.

“This is good, it saves me from having to find another excuse.”

Zhou An found a place and quickly blended into the group of sleeping constables.

Another pillar of incense passed.

One after another, some constables woke up.

Zhou An also awoke appropriately.

After this happened, the constables were naturally panicked.

Even the old constable who was leading the group was in a state of panic.

Inexplicably unconscious, what is this called?

Fortunately, the old constable was also experienced.

Soon thought of a way.

When things are not decided, report it upwards!

This is the easiest way to solve the problem, and also the least responsible.

So, Zhou An asked a few perfunctory questions and headed to the court again.

In the government office, the constable who had stayed behind had not yet left.

When Magistrate Chen heard the old constable’s words, he immediately waved his hand and made a decision.

–To the Zhen Gui Si (闀囪鍙�)!

This matter was clearly no longer within the scope of the yamen, and County Magistrate Chen pushed it cleanly.

“This old bastard, shirking responsibility again.”

Nowadays, the Zhen Gui Division of Anding County was already in debt, so it didn’t matter if they added another one.

“Scatter the values!”

After arranging the manpower for notification, County Magistrate Chen immediately gave the order to disperse the value.

The constables were also happy to be free.

The higher-ups had called for a break, so they couldn’t still do overtime, right?

These days, it’s not a bad idea to get paid for touching fish.

Zhou An and Yu Hang returned home together.

“Old Zhou, I always feel that something big is going to happen.” Yu Hang was restless.

In the last few days, he always felt panicked.

All sorts of strange and bizarre things were happening one after another, not only him, but the other constables more or less had ideas.

Zhou An touched his chin, “Don’t scare yourself, even if something big happens, it has nothing to do with you, the sky collapses and there is a taller person to hold it, what are you panicking about?”

He could only go this way to comfort.

Yu Hang didn’t enter the threshold, it’s useless to care about this.

The two of them parted ways.

Back to the house, already extremely late.

Originally was called away in the middle of the night, and then engaged in half a day, not far from dawn.

Zhou An thought to himself, recently there is quite a trend of mountain rain.

Now it’s too late to make up for the sleep, so it’s better to continue with the liver.

Thinking about this, Zhou An took out the dough and continued carving.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

Zhou An looked at the slightly increased Butcher’s Knife Skill, washed up, and went out the door.

As usual, the noodle stall ordered two bowls of noodles.

Not long after, Ye Frost, who was in a gray state, came.

“Zhou An! Good morning!”

Ye Frost waved her hand, sat across from Zhou An, picked up her chopsticks, grunted and took a bite, a happy smile on her face.

This girl, completely different from the cold as ice Mr. Ye last night.

“You have quite a lot of talisman paper.” Zhou An said in passing.

Last night, Feng Ye was violently beaten by Ye Frost, and the land was like a renovation, making Zhou An take a new step in recognizing Ye Frost’s battle power.

“It’s not bad, just some small tricks, Zhou An, you’re the expert mile.” Ye Frost shivered another mouthful of noodles.

Zhou An was happy, “You can still boast?”

This girl, complimenting people, but also quite sincere, listen to the strange comfortable le.

“It’s not complimenting people ah ……” Ye Frost put down her chopsticks and propped her chin with her hand, her eyes shining brightly.

“Inside the experts I’ve seen, your ability is really quite special Oh ……”

While saying that, Ye Frost broke his fingers.

“Look at it, the knife skill and fast, the iron pot can be used as a weapon, there is also like a swimming dragon like body style, the key is that you are still young ah ……”

Ye Frost was like a child, counting one piece at a time.

After counting for half a day, she realized that she hadn’t eaten a few mouthfuls of noodles yet, and hurriedly stopped counting and Ku Ku ate.

“Eat slowly.” Zhou An tapped his chopsticks, “You didn’t go to investigate together today?”

“Elder Zhang and the others went and prepared to investigate from Qingliu Village, I’m not going.” Ye Frost shook his head.

Zhou An strangely said, “Aren’t you specifically here to investigate, why don’t you go?”

Ye Frost said seriously, “You can’t overstep your authority.”

Overstepping one’s authority, in the Great Chu Kingdom, was a very serious matter.

The State Master, the Chief Secretary, and the Prime Minister were a triad.

Emperor Xingwu would never allow things that exceeded his authority to occur.

Ye Frost was here to supervise and cooperate, and to go any deeper, that would not work.

Zhou An also heard the meaning and said, “Then eat quickly, I have to go to order afterward.”

Only then did Ye Frost let out an oh sound, and Ku Ku continued to eat.

Soon after, finished eating breakfast and settled the bill.

Zhou An headed to the yamen to order the dawn.

In today’s Yamen, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

When the sky collapses, there is a taller person to bear the burden, this is not true.

However, it is impossible to say that this matter is not worrying.

Zhou An Xin is relatively large, as usual in the kitchen practicing the Butcher’s Knife.

After practicing until noon, Zhou An ate lunch before heading to the blacksmith store.

Today, he had to beat everything out.

The blacksmith store was the same as usual.

“Lord Zhou, you’re here.”

The fellow at the door greeted.

After this time and time again, even the fellow had gotten acquainted with Zhou An.

Zhou An returned the greeting and went to the inner courtyard.

Clanking sounds resounded in the blacksmith store.

Blacksmith Zhao was quite a hardworking man.

The blacksmith among the three hardships of life fell on Blacksmith Zhao, who did not cry out a single word of hardship.

To be honest, Zhou An had also been ironing for so long and had felt quite a bit of it.

From the fire baking alone, many people would be deterred.

“Lord Zhou, it’s here.” Blacksmith Zhao put down his hammer and pointed to the corner, “I’ve gotten all the iron materials you ordered me to buy.”

Zhou An nodded and looked to the corner of the room.

At the corner, a large amount of iron materials were piled up.

“Old Zhao, you’ve got a good hand, quite a wide channel for buying goods.” Zhou An laughed.

Blacksmith Zhao scratched his head and naively said, “Your Honor is joking, this is not much of a channel.”

If you want to have a good life, you have your own tricks.

Zhou An did not pursue this either.

He moved all the materials to the anvil that was a bit on the smaller side.

At this time, Blacksmith Zhao had finished and came over.

“My lord, what do you want to order?”

Zhou An did not shy away.

“A pair of armor, a sword, and a pan, palm-sized.”

These were the three pieces he wanted to build.

First was the armor, which was a must.

Boosting defense, this was the first choice.

Second was the knife, a good knife, with the fusion casting method, when casting the Butcher’s Knife, it boosted tremendously.

Lastly, the pan.

Zhou An thought carefully, anyway, as long as it can be upside down, the smaller the better.

Palm-sized, able to be hung at the waist, more convenient.

The eight-meter tall Beast Cultist he had turned upside down.

It wasn’t about the size of the pot, as long as it could be turned upside down, it would be able to turn people upside down.

“My lord, is there a rough drawing?” Blacksmith Zhao asked again.

This word gave way to Zhou An’s question.

Knives and pans, these two are good to talk about, unusual styles will do.

Only this armor, it needs a bit of design.

“A hidden style that can be worn inside.” Zhou An thought about it and said.

With something like armor, Zhou An felt that he couldn’t wear it outside.

It wasn’t like he was a soldier marching to war.

A constable, an ordinary person, wearing an armor outside every day, isn’t this bullshit?

And it was also equivalent to telling others that he had armor and that he had defense.

It’s only when your head is pumped that you do this.

It’s no different from shouting the name of a move before a fight, proper Iron Bean.

At that time, the enemy would still have to take his armor into account, and that would be punishing himself.

Hearing Zhou An say this, Blacksmith Zhao thought for a brief moment and said, “If that’s the case, Lord Zhou can make a pair of soft armor.”

“Oh?” Zhou An stroked his chin, “How to make it?”

Blacksmith Zhao began to explain.

According to what Blacksmith Zhao said, the soft armor was extremely complicated to make.

First of all, the soft armor was two layers, with a good filler in the middle, and outside and inside, it was made of iron material into iron wires that were densely woven.

The padding in the middle can be used to buffer, while the woven out, plays the role of defense.

Also, since it was a soft armor, it was comfortable to wear inside and not visible from the outside.

Although the defense was slightly weaker than the hard armor, it was better than the convenience.

Zhou An raised an eyebrow after listening to what Blacksmith Zhao had said, “Old Zhao, you are not simple.”

A man who plays with agricultural tools is actually proficient in the production method of soft armor, the twists and turns in this are not something that can be made clear in a simple manner.

Blacksmith Zhao said, “My lord, everyone has some secrets, let’s say that you yourself, my lord, are not simple.”

Zhou An waved his hand, “I don’t care about these secrets of yours either, as long as you don’t antagonize me.”

This Zhao Blacksmith, should have an origin.

But Zhou An didn’t care.

Zhou An wouldn’t eat his fill and meddle in everything.

After finishing his speech, Blacksmith Zhao left and continued to go about his business.

Zhou An was not idle either and started casting.

After obtaining the Fusion Casting Method, Zhou An’s building had become more and more skillful.

The moment he picked up the hammer, he had already struck it swiftly like a blessed heart.

The sound of clanking echoed continuously.

The entire noon, Zhou An was at the blacksmith store beating the iron.

Until the afternoon was approaching, Zhou An quenched the palm-sized pan.

Faint green smoke floated up.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth rose slightly as he looked at the three-piece set in front of him.

A soft armor, including the lower half of his body.

An ordinary black iron long knife.

A palm-sized pan.

It was these three pieces that took Zhou An a noon day.

Zhou An took off his outerwear and put the soft armor on his body.

In the next moment, an indescribable feeling appeared.

He found that there was a trace of connection, if any, between himself and the soft armor.

The defensive power of the soft armor increased by 10%.

This was the power of Fusion +1, a percentage increase.

After feeling it, Zhou An put on the trapper’s uniform.

From the outside, it looked no different.

He picked up the knife and pan next to him again.

The same connection appeared.

Now, when he used the Butcher’s Knife Technique and the Upside Down Object, the power that he could utilize had both increased by 10% as well.

A ten percent increase represented a qualitative change.

“Unfortunately, my proficiency hasn’t increased.”

Level three was a watershed.

At level three, there was only another method.

The Fusion Casting Method would have to be used in another way.

Actually, Zhou An could ask Blacksmith Zhao, but time did not allow it now.

It would soon be afternoon.

There would be plenty of time to ask later.

Thinking about this, Zhou An left the blacksmith store and headed to the Yamen.

The magistrate’s office was still the same, and everyone was worried.

Zhou An went back to the kitchen and started the Liver Butcher Knife Technique.

The only difference was that his knife had been changed and there was a pan hanging on his waist.

Speaking of this knife, Zhou An had built it according to a constable’s knife.

The long knives of the constables of Anding County did not have the unique style of the officials, but were common in the rivers and lakes.

Zhou An had thrown the old knife into the blacksmith store and came with the new knife on his side.

As long as it was not used by someone, the hardness would not be noticed.

As for the pan ……

“Hey, isn’t this a recent part-time cook with feelings, getting a small pendant to hang.”

The palm-sized pan is just right for a pendant.

After livering the knife skills for an afternoon, Zhou An felt his arms a little sore.

[Butcher’s Blade Technique (Speed +2, Accuracy +2) lv.4: 1882/60,000]

“The road is long.”

Zhou An lamented.

The time to disperse the value was up.

Zhou An didn’t stop, and together with Yu Hang, he rushed towards his home.

After returning home, he started the Liver Butchering Knife Technique as usual.

The more proficiency he gained, the more energized Zhou An’s liver became.

And while Zhou An was livering the Butcher Knife Technique, the Zhen Gui Division was also proceeding in an organized manner.

Inside the Zhen Gui Division.

Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie, as well as all the members of the Zhen Gui Si, were sifting through the massive amount of intelligence.

Within this, there were all sorts of information contained.

On everyone’s table, there was a person tall piece of information.

Everyone was flipping through it.

Zhang Si Xian had heard Zhou An’s words and was looking for clues in the massive amount of intelligence.

Just as they were flipping through it, a member of the Zhen Gui Si suddenly stood up.

“My lord, there is something fishy here!”
