Chapter Seven: The Law of Praise (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!)
Zhang Yifan practiced until the second half of the night, although the whole person was in good spirits, but considering that there was still official business to report tomorrow morning, he took a rest.
After practicing the next morning, he reported to Wang Zhutou about the case of losing cattle. When he heard that he had found out what had happened, and had found the lost ox, he was overjoyed, and told him that he would make a record of it.
Zhang Yifan was very happy to hear this, and then he said that the ploughing cattle were dead, and the two families were estimated to be more difficult this year, so could they apply to Lord Wang for a discretionary reduction or exemption of part of the field tax. When Wang Zhutou heard this, he also said that it should be so, this matter was a natural disaster, and he would tell Lord Wang about the situation.
Zhang Yifan asked Chen Danian about their situation again, and Wang Zhutou said that they have not come back yet, and they should be investigating the cause of the murder, and there will be news in two days.
Then Wang Zhutou said that Zhang Yifan has become an official junior catcher, and his current duty is to patrol the streets and ensure the safety of the city. Zhang Yifan nodded yes, and after saying goodbye to Wang Zhutou, he began to patrol.
Yan County is not a big county, when he was patrolling the streets, he saw Zhang San'er helping in the teahouse, thinking that he had got a temporary livelihood, and by the way he inquired about the news. When he saw Zhang Yifan passing by, he also said hello to him.
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was three months.
Zhang Yifan patrols the streets during the day and practices martial arts in the morning and evening. During the period, he also disposed of some green skins and snitches, and when he practiced martial arts and patrolled the streets, he increased from the beginning of the weight of 30 catties to 100 catties of iron, in addition to not adapting to it at the beginning, with the growth of internal force, he began to walk like flying, and the light work has also made great progress.
Of course, the biggest progress is still their own method, I don't know whether it is the reason for their internal progress or hard work, Zhang Yifan is now "Xingzi Jue" has taken a big step in the direction of Dacheng, the use of moves is back to the basics, a move and a style is quite charming, I believe that in the near future, "Xingzi Jue" will soon be completed.
To his surprise, his "Imperial Character Formula" had reached its full potential! The defensive moves were handy, and he felt that he could resist all attacks. Therefore, Zhang Yifan can already skillfully use the fire wall, and this move has begun to have a strong defensive ability, blocking several people at the same time, of course, this refers to ordinary people, if it is a first-class master, he estimates that he should not be able to stop it for a long time, after all, he has never seen a first-class master shoot.
On the other hand, Zhang Yifan's internal strength progress can be described as fast, I don't know if it is more in line with "Flame Formula", he can now run his internal strength for eighteen weeks, and he has cultivated more internal strength. And according to the description of his own mana in the remnant book, compared with the internal force he possessed, he felt that he should have cultivated to the second level of the exercises, and he was very proud of this, feeling that he should have genius resources, and his own magic should be small!
But I don't know what the reason is, although after three months of hard practice, the fire attack has always been unable to be used steadily, and it is not one out of ten. He has never been able to grasp that very mysterious feeling, and it is estimated that he is still not proficient in using it, and he has not mastered the tricks, and he still needs to practice diligently. In Zhang Yifan's opinion, he is not very qualified for martial arts moves.
At the same time, he already had an eyebrow for the comprehension of the third form of the "Fire Word Formula" - Resisting Fire Chengfeng, and with the growth of his internal strength, he also began to try to practice.
Resisting Fire is a move supplemented by defense and offense, by using internal force to quickly rotate itself and form a rotating mountain, which can make people invulnerable, rebound the attack, and incidentally affect the opponent's skill, the stronger the internal force, the greater the impact.
It is said that people with profound internal strength, as soon as this move comes out, people with a radius of ten zhang can hardly move. Although I don't know whether it's true or not, Zhang Yifan is very yearning, and hopes that one day when he makes this move, the big thieves and snitches like Sanzhang will surrender and achieve the prestige of his own generation of gods, which will be very wonderful!
Ending the reverie that could not reach the sky, Zhang Yifan straightened his clothes, tied a weight-bearing iron on his body and limbs, and wrapped it on his back into a six-edged iron rod to subdue the devil, and brought a standard knife.
Except for a murder case that occurred three months ago, Yan County has been very calm, and nothing else has happened, so this murder has become the only major case in Yamen at present.
But for some reason, this case has not been solved, and the people surnamed Chen Kuai and others, who are in charge of this case, have been having a hard time in the past few months, and have not been able to find any useful clues, Zhang Yifan felt that they were haggard and old because of this case when he saw them.
He wanted to help, but Wang Zhutou said that the case was quite risky, it was done by people on the rivers and lakes, and it was not known who it was, but it was very risky, because he had just turned positive and had little experience, so he was not allowed to investigate. In this regard, he had no choice but to give up and take responsibility for his street patrol task seriously.
According to the agreement, today is the day when Zhang Yifan and Zhang San'er meet in a secret restaurant on South Street. He was going to ask about the situation as usual, to see if anything special was going on.
Speaking of Zhang San'er, Zhang Yifan was quite complacent about his original decision. Since then, Yan County has lost a green skin, and he has a right-hand man. In the past few months, most of the snitches and green skins that Zhang Yifan has dealt with are clues provided by Zhang San'er, for which Wang County Ling and Wang Zhutou praised Zhang Yifan, saying that after accumulating some credit, he will soon be promoted to an official catcher (before he was a regular junior catcher).
This promotion speed is relatively rare in the county, and it generally takes one to three years for the junior to be promoted to the official one. In this regard, Zhang Yifan was excited for several days, and became more and more enthusiastic about catching thieves, so that some of the more familiar neighbors in Yan County affectionately called him "God Catcher Boy".
After a while, Zhang San'er came. After Zhang Yifan's training and silver supply in the past few months, Zhang San'er has become more and more flexible, and the dishes on his face are gone, and the whole person looks very energetic. Zhang San'er said hello to the owner of the restaurant, and sat opposite Zhang Yifan with a smile on his face.
"Brother Fan, how are you doing in the last few days? I see that you are in good spirits, it seems that you have made great progress in martial arts, congratulations. ”
"You taught me a pretty good punch last time, and the Lai Pi Dog in the south of the city and the vulture in the north of the city are no match for me now. ”
"Do you know that there is a new little lady in the tofu shop on South Street? The neighbors call her Tofu Shih, that look is thoughtful, this cola is bad tofu Liu, the old man married a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law to his own boy, and he is happy all day long, and the price of tofu has been lower than usual recently. . . ”
......
Listening to Zhang San'er chattering for a long time, Zhang Yifan didn't feel a headache and cracked ears, so he hurriedly stopped his words, asked the boss to fry two dishes and bring them up, and started a normal communication between the two.
"San'er, has anything special happened recently?"
"Well, Brother Fan, nothing happened in the county, but yesterday there seemed to be a scholar in Shenhu Village who jumped into the river and died, and I heard that he committed suicide. Zhang Sanshen mysteriously whispered the news to Zhang Yifan.
"Shenhu Village is more than forty miles away from the county seat, how do you know what happened yesterday?" Zhang Yifan asked a little strangely.
"Well, because the sister of the scholar who committed suicide by jumping into the river and I worked in a teahouse, the people from the village came to report this morning, telling her to go back and collect her body and bury her in the ground. ”
"Do you know what the reason for jumping into the river?" Zhang Yifan asked curiously.
"Well, I heard from the messenger that it seems that his wife eloped with someone, so the scholar jumped into the lake and committed suicide by jumping into the lake without thinking about it for a while, and he didn't leave any suicide note. Zhang San'er thought for a while and replied.
After the cultivation of internal force, Zhang Yifan's memory and five senses have been greatly strengthened, especially memory, although he can't do it at present, but he generally remembers things that are slightly impressive even after a long time.
Shenhu Village, scholars, little ladies... Zhang Yifan suddenly had a bad premonition in his mind, and the picture of the bookstore three months ago seemed to reappear in front of him. Chen Shenzhi, Wu Yulan, could it be them?
"Do you know what the scholar and the little lady are called?" Zhang Yifan hurriedly asked.
"Well, I didn't ask too much, I only know that the scholar's surname seems to be Chen, and his wife Wu. What's the matter, Brother Fan, have you found anything?" Zhang San'er was a little curious about Zhang Yifan's reaction.
"Well, it's possible that we both know each other. Do you remember when you were caught stealing money from a bookstore three months ago?"
Zhang San couldn't help blushing and muttered, "Brother Fan, why are you still mentioning that matter, under your discipline, I have changed it." ”
Zhang Yifan ignored his embarrassed expression and continued: "The scholar and lady who caught you that day are likely to be the two people you said about this matter, there is something strange about this matter, I need to go over there to take a look." ”
"Ah, it's those two people, I'm a little impressed by what you said. Ouch, that's a shame. ”
"Brother Fan, you have to go over, it's far away, more than forty miles, you need to walk for more than two hours, it's too far, you go to the yamen to find a horse." Zhang San suggested.
"At present, several horses in the Yamen have been ridden away by Uncle Chen, and there are no horses for the time being. It's okay, I'll hurry up. When the time comes, you tell Wang Zhutou that I will go first, so as not to trouble people when they are buried. ”
Zhang San'er nodded, watched Zhang Yifan leave in a hurry, sighed, and walked towards the yamen, ready to report the situation to Wang Zhutou.
There was nothing to say all the way, Zhang Yifan used the family heirloom light skills, and in about half an hour, he arrived at Shenhu Village, which was also very unexpected to him, and his breath was stable on the spot, but he was only a little tired. He just removed the iron tied to his body and hurried with all his might, but his light skills had improved so much that the distance of more than forty miles was half an hour!
