Chen Yuan was dressed in the uniform of a government official and walked out of the small courtyard with a knife on his waist. People greeted him from time to time, but Chen Yuan just nodded calmly.
These neighbors are both familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Yuan now, and he doesn't want to be too enthusiastic and seem to have something wrong. The identity of the yamen servant is already a big figure for the nearby neighbors.
In my memory, my predecessor also remained calm.
"Brother Yuan, are you going to the county government office?"
When passing by a steamed bun shop, a fair-skinned woman with a delicate face called out to Chen Yuan.
"Yeah, get two meat buns."
Chen Yuan placed four copper plates, big meat buns, and two cents each on the table.
The girl shook her thick braids and took out two meat buns from the cage. Then when her father wasn't paying attention, she put an egg in and handed it to Chen Yuan.
His face was flushed, and he seemed a little shy.
Chen Yuan lowered his head and saw clearly in his heart, he smiled and said:
"Thanks."
The woman smiled shyly, and Chen Yuan inadvertently threw a copper plate towards the box containing the money and said with a smile:
"I go first."
"Then slow down."
Chen Yuan took a bite of the meat buns. The taste was not bad, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the past, Xiaofang’s braids were thick and long.
Later, Xiaofang wanted a car and a house.
...
Not long after, Chen Yuan arrived at the county government office.
Several government officials gathered together and whispered. Chen Yuan walked by not far away and heard words like "goulan" from time to time.
"You boy, this time you have been recognized by the county magistrate and county captain, so you have to celebrate..." someone joked.
"sure."
Chen Yuan's face was filled with smiles.
Although the killing of Tie Shou this time was a coincidence, the arrester would not take credit for his achievements in full view of the public. In addition, the county magistrate was very angry about Tie Shou's case.
Now that it is broken, naturally there will be a reward.
Otherwise, who will fight for the Yamen in the future?
The armed forces of the county government all refer to a group of government servants, and their armament has long been abandoned. As for the white servants, they are just a type of corvee labor.
Under the rotation system, they are not willing to die for the yamen at all.
They are just a group of ordinary people who cannot even practice the most basic physical exercises.
This is a benefit only available to government officials.
"By the way, the head catcher gave orders before. If you come back, go to the squad room to see him immediately."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands, then turned around and headed in one direction with the long knife on his waist.
"Dong dong dong."
Chen Yuan stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand and knocked.
"Come in!"
Huang Xing's rich voice came from the room.
Chen Yuan walked into the class room with a calm face, glanced at Huang Xing's rough face and quickly lowered his head:
"I have seen you in my humble position, sir."
Seeing it was Chen Yuan, Huang Xing nodded:
"Um."
"I wonder what the reason is for calling me here?"
"It is because of your contribution that the two magistrates and county lieutenants personally inquired about this matter."
"The killing of Tie Shou is all due to Sir. I just helped a little bit. Without Sir, I would never be Tie Shou's opponent."
Chen Yuan said in a low voice.
Huang Xing smiled with satisfaction:
"What's yours is yours, can I still be greedy?"
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
"You have done a great job in killing the iron hand this time. Both the officer and the county lieutenant are aware of it. I will reward you with twenty taels of silver and a sword skill. How about it?"
Huang Xing said lightly.
Chen Yuan was overjoyed. Twenty taels of silver was his salary for more than a year. He had never had such a huge sum of money!
And sword skills!
Chen Yuan has been in the county government for more than a year, but his merits are very low. Usually only old government officials can be rewarded with a sword skill.
Even ordinary sword skills are not something ordinary people can possess.
In Ping'an County, there are many people who open martial arts schools to teach people to practice martial arts based on a sword technique or boxing technique. From this point of view, a sword technique is enough to be passed down to an ordinary family.
However, the skills awarded by the imperial court cannot be taught, otherwise once discovered, they will be wanted.
Originally, the imperial court did not want everyone to practice martial arts, because chivalry violated the prohibition with martial arts, and a person who practiced martial arts would become an unstable factor.
However, anyone with some knowledge will pursue martial arts.
Because this can gain power, status, money...
In this extraordinary world, only powerful force can protect everything.
In Ping'an County, no matter what martial arts school it is, there will be a line written down.
Everything is inferior, only martial arts is high!
From this, we can also see how important 'wu' is.
"Thank you, sir!" Chen Yuan bowed and expressed his excitement for Huang Xing.
Looking at Chen Yuan's expression, Huang Xing raised a smile on his lips.
"Sir...can I exchange my silver for...tiger bone pills?"
Chen Yuan suddenly said.
"Okay..." Huang Xing glanced at Chen Yuan with some interest.
Twenty taels of silver was enough to marry a woman from a certain family, but Chen Yuan exchanged it for elixirs. What a pity. With this kind of character, Huang Xing would have wanted to train him if it weren't for his poor qualifications. .
"Thank you, sir."
Tiger Bone Pill is one of the most suitable body refining pills in the Foundation Establishment Realm. After Chen Yuan learned about it, he always wanted to exchange it, but unfortunately he was short of money and could not afford so much money.
The price of a tiger bone pill is worth twelve taels of silver. This is the price within the imperial court. On the black market, a tiger bone pill can sometimes exceed twelve taels of silver.
Even though Chen Yuan's monthly salary plus extra money can earn him nearly two taels of silver, it is difficult to survive because of the high expenses. Martial arts practitioners need to nourish themselves from time to time, otherwise they will not be able to endure daily exercise.
Chen Yuan had counted his net worth before. Not counting real estate, he only had eight taels of silver and some copper plates. He couldn't even afford a tiger bone pill.
"There are two tiger bone pills in here," Huang Xing took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan hurriedly picked it up and put it in his arms.
"There are currently three sword techniques in the county government, the stone-cutting sword technique, the strong wind sword technique and the sword-drawing technique. Which one do you want to learn?" Huang Xing picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
There is no intention of introduction at all.
However, Chen Yuan did not need his introduction. All the old government officials had practiced these three sword techniques for many years. The most popular one was the Guangfeng sword technique, which was very brave.
But after careful consideration, Chen Yuan still chose the sword-drawing technique.
This is a killing sword technique, and there is only one style.
In the memory of the original person, he had seen the prison guard perform this sword technique, cutting his opponent in half with one strike, which had a great impact on Chen Yuan.
However, this sword technique also has flaws, that is, if this sword cannot kill the opponent, the opponent will be on guard and can only use other sword techniques to fight the enemy.
However, this is what Chen Yuan believes in.
The fancy sword skills are really not as powerful as the sword skills that are refined into one style.
With one blow, you and I will live and die!
