Guobei County is not big, and it is usually quite peaceful. Wang Zhe was able to achieve these gains in two years mainly because he participated in an operation to suppress bandits and received rewards from several bandits.
"Let's try this "Arhat Gong"!"
Wang Zhe came to the courtyard, straightened his chest and spread his knees, raised his cheeks, put his tongue on the roof of his mouth, looked straight, breathed evenly, poured his energy into his Dantian, kept his mind in one, and completed it in one breath, as if the whole movement had been practiced hundreds of times.
The "Iron Cloth Shirt" he obtained earlier was a method of external training to train strength, muscles, muscles and bones, and torment the body. After success, the skin will become thicker and the strength will increase greatly.
However, the internal training method is rarely mentioned and is not detailed.
This "Arhat Kung" is different. The 18 movements are all internal exercises.
This first stance is the foundation, from which all dharma comes, and from which all skills come. But it is also the most difficult. Ordinary cultivation requires at least three years of practice before you can get started.
That Zhou Dynasty was unwilling to endure boring hard training, and practiced the subsequent moves without laying a good foundation. It was like a castle in the air with no roots, which would scatter when the wind blew and float when the water washed away.
Wang Zhe, on the other hand, received enlightenment and easily crossed the most difficult threshold, saving him several years of hard work.
After standing still for about half an hour, he felt a warmth in his belly, which made him feel very comfortable. If you practice the method internally, your true energy will be generated.
Take a rest and sleep until dawn.
The next morning, I got up to hear the rooster crow.
Do morning exercises and practice internal strength while standing.
In the past two years, despite having "plug-ins" in his body, he has been practicing day and night.
Such as the "streaming sword", after learning the calligraphy, he would swing the sword no less than a thousand times a day, rain or shine, and then he would have the brilliance of that sword.
After an hour, I finished my work, had my meal, locked the door, and went to work at the Yamen.
When he entered the Yamen, he saw Lao Hou winking at him and pulling him to the corner.
"Something big happened last night!" Lao Hou whispered.
"What's going on?"
"The Huang family's young master and the master he invited were killed in the Huang family's house." There was a hint of joy in Lao Hou's eyes when he spoke.
"Lao Hou, why do I see that you seem very happy when you say this?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I am very sad that Mr. Huang is dead." Lao Hou immediately said with a straight face.
After a while, the head catcher Zhu Xiao came to order the meal, and then led a group of catchers into the Yamen lobby.
The county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county captain, and the three giants of Guobei County all showed up in a rare sight, all with dark faces, as if the nightlife last night was very disharmonious.
It was so grand, as expected, it was because of the murder of Mr. Huang that happened last night.
The county magistrate slapped the table when he talked about the murder that happened last night.
The case was required to be solved within ten days, and no one was allowed to take leave. He personally supervised the case and the county lieutenant was specifically responsible.
Then a group of detectives were sent out to look for clues. As usual, Wang Zhe and Lao Hou were paired together.
As soon as I left the Yamen and not far away, I met the man who came to the Yamen yesterday to complain. Lao Hou walked up quickly, stopped him, and was dragged to a corner by him.
"Mr. Huang was killed at home last night. Did you hire someone to kill him?" Lao Hou asked in a low voice.
"Ah, did that man die? Great, the sky has eyes!" The man was stunned for a moment, then his body trembled and tears flowed out.
"It's not me. I want him to die, but I don't have the courage or the money!" The skinny man explained quickly.
"Then you either stay away, or follow me into the Yamen now and put you in jail!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!" The man turned around and ran quickly, for fear that he would be caught and thrown into jail if he ran too slowly.
Wang Zhe just smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that Lao Hou had good intentions. If that man dared to go to the county government to make trouble now, he would definitely be put in jail and given a punishment or beaten.
"I hope that guy won't be involved in this matter." Lao Hou sighed.
"Let's go, let's look for any clues." Wang Zhe said.
"What are you looking for? That Zhou Dynasty is a master. None of us combined can be a match for Zhu Captou. Zhu Captou can't survive three moves under him. Who can kill him? How can we in Guobei County be like this?"
"What do you mean?"
"The person who killed Mr. Huang was either a knight passing by who saw injustice on the road and killed the scourge! Or the enemy followed him from outside the city. No matter which one, he is probably gone by now."
"Is it possible that it was a robbery?"
"No, Mr. Huang's family is extremely rich, and he only lost a few taels of silver last night." Lao Hou shook his head.
In fact, Wang Zhe originally planned to make some money last night, but he was worried about being discovered by the servants of the Huang Mansion, so he did not stay in the Huang Mansion due to his true principles of prudence and stability.
"Okay, does the analysis make sense!"
"That's natural. Do you think that my more than ten years of work as a detective have been in vain?" Lao Hou said with a smile.
Lao Hou's name was Hou Zhu, and he was a close friend of Wang Zhe's late father, and he took good care of Wang Zhe in the yamen.
On weekdays, whether they are investigating crimes or patrolling, the two of them are mostly together.
"So, let's just do this for a show."
"That Mr. Huang will probably come back soon. The smooth county magistrate, the iron-clad Mr. Huang, he is the real head of Guobei County. When he comes back, I don't know what kind of storm he will cause, and how many people will follow him. Disaster!" Lao Hou sighed.
The two of them walked around the streets for a few times until noon. They found a place to have something to eat and continued wandering around. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I returned to the county office and handed over my errands to go home.
Because he had collected some money as a thank you, the assistant invited Wang Zhe to a wine shop for a drink.
The wine here is turbid and there is still some lees in it. It is really hard to swallow if you drink it suddenly. Fortunately, Wang Zhe is used to it.
After drinking a bowl of wine, Lao Hou started talking more.
"We did an autopsy today. The two people who were killed had their throats sealed with a sword. There were no second wounds on their bodies. How fast did the sword go? I really want to see it!"
"Then what's there to see? Why not go to Chunxiao Tower to see the girls? When will you invite me there?" Wang Zhe said with a smile.
"Hey, sex is like a steel knife used to scrape bones. You are young, so don't get those bad habits."
"Well, let me think about it, you should have been there four times this month, no, five times."
"I went to investigate the case, it was very hard work!" Lao Hou Yizheng said.
"Yes, I understand. It must be very hard and physically demanding. Pay attention to your health. You should exercise restraint as you get older!"
After returning home from the wine shop, Wang Zhe continued to practice the "Flowing Light Sword" and "Arhat Kung" before going to bed.
For three days in a row, they pretended to work hard to solve the case and searched for clues. In fact, everyone knew that this case could not be solved by them alone.
On the fourth day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it seemed like it would rain at any time.
The famous Mr. Huang from Guobei County is back.
