Chapter 21 I am your father
While thinking, Chen An had already gone downstairs with Yun Zhi'e. At this time, the shopkeeper was busy closing the inn. When he saw the two of them coming down, he quickly smiled: "What else do you guys have to do?"
Chen An's face was natural: "The night is just right today. I want to go out and have a curfew in this Nei Shui County?"
"Now we are doing a prosperous country and peace, and we are obeying each other. The Eagle and Ma Si has controlled those who are evil in the world. There is no need for a curfew! The young master is just going out for a walk, but there is nothing fun and good at night in this neighboring Shui County."
The shopkeeper opened the door again with a smile: "I won't lock the door tonight, and the guest officer will do whatever he wants to come back."
Chen An said oh and said with a smile: "Thank you then."
After saying that, he looked like a couple going out to enjoy the moon, and walked out easily and naturally with Yun Zhi'e. He turned around the corner and then walked around the back street. He stopped at the back door of the inn.
Chen An looked at the locked back door and turned his head to look at Yun Zhi'e. Yun Zhi'e nodded in understanding. She nipped her toes and then quietly landed behind the wall.
A soft sound of opening the door sounded from inside, and Yun Zhi'e opened it from inside.
Chen An glanced at her with some envy - the only light skills she knew were simply used for short distances. Although the speed and explosive power were very fast, the ability of light body and long-distance raiding was far inferior to Yun Zhi'e.
Regaining his leisure, Chen An carefully looked at the backyard.
After entering the store, the first thing I saw was the kitchen. A well was not far from the door. There was a crooked tree in the yard, and there were no branches or leaves on the tree. Looking to the side, there were two small houses, which seemed to be a place for the client and the chef to rest.
As for the shopkeeper, naturally, there is a room of his own on the second floor of the inn and will not live with these guys.
At this time, not to mention the voices of the backyard, there was not even a slight tiny of candlelight in those two rooms.
Chen An frowned and whispered to Yun Zhi'e: "The back door is locked from inside, but he didn't go out from the front door. There must be a mystery in this backyard, and I'm afraid there will be a dark room."
Chen An first looked at the two rooms where the guys were sleeping, gently pushed open the two doors and looked at them, and after confirming what, he whispered: "If the dark room was in these two rooms, it was impossible to use a lampstand to illuminate it alone. I guess he must have gone to the kitchen with the lamp. After entering the dark room, the backyard would naturally be gone at all."
The reason for this inference is naturally because the candlesticks in the two rooms are still on the table, and there is no sign of ignition, and the candles are still solidified.
Chen An thought that the people below had become turtles in the jar, and Yun Zhi'e was also a master. She felt relieved and went to get a candlestick from the client's room to light it. She walked towards the kitchen first and opened the door. There were only stoves, kitchen utensils, tables for handling ingredients, and a pile of firewood in the corner of the wall.
With just one glance, there was no clue, but Chen An walked directly towards one of the stoves.
The skin inside the beggar's clothes was very clean, but the skin exposed was very dirty. It must have been rubbed from where it came out. When I thought of the black handprints on my clothes, how could there be more easily dirt on the stove than the stove?
He bent down and saw nothing. He simply got up and lifted up two big black pots on the stove and looked down. There was no firewood in one of the stoves, which must be a place related to the secret passage.
Chen An disliked the half-human-high stove, but he had to sigh and took the lit candlestick and entered.
A small door appeared in front of me.
Chen An bent and opened the small door, and a downward staircase emerged. He glanced at Yun Zhi'e and saw that she was ready to go down without any disgust.
After smiling at her a little sorry, Chen An walked down with his body bent down.
Fortunately, after only a few steps, when I got to the ground, there was a straight road, which was much wider. Chen An only needed to lower his head slightly when he stood, but his hands and clothes were still stained with some black ashes.
After walking a few more steps, he found that Yun Zhi'e behind him did not follow him. Chen An turned around and almost laughed out loud.
Just looking at Yun Zhi'e's white face, there was no idea why a black mark was rubbed on. Yun Zhi'e was staring at her hand blankly, and half of her white and slender fingers became dark. I'm afraid that it was just because she wiped her face and she became like this.
Seeing Chen An looking at her and laughing, Yun Zhi'e still had a tight face, but her eyes widened a little, obviously making him turn her head.
Chen An held her laughter and saw her rubbing her sleeves against her face. In the end, the black on her face spread and her clothes were dirty. Then she laughed and said in a low voice: "Don't wipe it, go back and wash it later."
Then, Chen An thought that Yun Zhi'e didn't even bring her clothes to change.
Yun Zhi'e glared at him, her thin lips moved, and finally she just put out four words: "Continue to go."
Chen An then lowered his head and continued to move forward. After walking seven or eight steps, he saw another door.
The door was made of wooden, and the plug-in outside the door was broken. From the direction of the break, it was obviously broken from the inside of the door.
Chen An held his breath and concentrated his mind. He listened carefully. A clear angry scolding came from the door.
"Didn't you ask you to check it?"
"How can I blame me? These bitchers actually broke their arms and wanted to escape. How could I think of it?"
"That's my fault? Huh?"
"...It's my fault, okay? Anyway, those people didn't notice it, they caught it, and there was no loss."
"Hmph, it's better!"
Chen An and Yun Zhi'e behind him looked at each other, and Chen An no longer hesitated, opened the wooden door, exerted force under his feet, and rushed out of the tunnel directly.
What caught my eye was a messy small room of seven or eight square meters.
In the room, one was a strong waiter who had just met before, and the other was a man with a fat face and a slightly obese figure.
In addition, there were four men who were lying on the ground who were ignorant of life and death.
One of them was the beggar who had just asked Chen An for help!
"Then he said no one noticed it!" The fat man cursed angrily, and then took out a kitchen knife behind his waist, stared at the two of them with a bad expression, warning: "I advise you to meddle in other people's business!"
"This is a business of County Magistrate Yin. If you don't want to be caught by Yingmasi and died in prison, get out as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Chen An frowned even tighter. He pretended to be passionate and said angrily: "Can a small county magistrate take human life so careless? The Eagle and Ma Si are used by the court to restore peace to the world. How could it become a reliance for you and others to harm others!"
"Ha." The fat man sneered and said, "If you take care of this matter today, it will affect the peace of the officials!"
Chen An felt a little cold.
Although he didn't have a good impression of the sword Dan, at least, he was really aiming at the Demon Sect. Most of the people in the Demon Sect are indeed not good people, which made Chen An feel that this Eagle and Ma Si is really trying to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune.
Although it is a little arrogant, which ancient violent law enforcement agency would be gentle?
But now these words have made Chen An’s worry come true - black is not black, white is not white. While the Eagle and Ma Si are rapidly expanding, it has indeed become a tool for some people.
The Dagan Empire had a vast territory. Even though the current emperor was very ambitious and capable, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. This was inevitable in ancient times.
But Chen An really didn't expect...it's only three years!? This Eagle and Ma Si will be so bad if he gets the heavy responsibility in just three years?
What worries Chen An even more is the magistrate of County Yin.
In the game, the player's first main task is to work with Liu Ruyan to dig through the old boss of Ning'an City, Wang Qinian, and clean up the umbrella and the younger brother under him.
Among them, the leadership of nearby counties has basically changed all of them. After all, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, and Wang Qinian sold private salt, set up checkpoints and blocked the road to collect money, etc., which would be impossible without the cooperation of these county lords.
But how many years have passed?
It’s only been five or six years since the game solved the incident?
In the past five or six years, the surrounding evil forces have begun to grow wildly again, but did Liu Ruyan, who is sitting in the center and in the most critical position, really know nothing?
She must have known it, but why didn't she move at all? If she had changed, and the dragon slayer turned into an evil dragon, how could Chen An not see it at all in the first month?
She has not changed, so it must be because the situation has changed, which makes her not dare to act rashly at all, and she has to sit idly by and watch these bastards make trouble under her nose?
Who can force a person with a bad temper like her to endure and lie dormant?
More and more problems made Chen An's heart feel particularly heavy.
How much has happened in this world in just three years from the finale of the game to the time traveling through time?
Seeing Chen An in deep thought, the fat man thought that his words scared the young man, and said even more proudly: "You guys pretend that you didn't see this, maybe there is anything we can help each other in the future."
"You must know that around this neighboring Shui County, the magistrate of Yin County will be whatever he says. It is better not to be passionate about both of you."
Chen An still acted very angry, but this time, his anger was real.
"Don't Lord Liu care about you guys?"
"Liu Ruyan? She is just a clay Buddha crossing the river now. She is unable to protect herself. How dare she do things casually?" The fat man looked disdainful and said contemptuously: "It is not easy for a woman to be a city lord. If she dares to do trouble everywhere, she will probably have been dealt with by someone!"
The waiter next to him also mocked: "Even if the Eagle and Ma Si arrives, you have to be obedient, let alone the Lord Liu. What's more, I heard that the Lord Liu could destroy Wang Qinian back then was because someone helped me a lot?"
"I heard that the relationship with that person who helped her was not simple."
"Hey, I want me to tell you, if the person surnamed Liu had a good father, I would have probably never known who would have given him..." The fat man showed a despicable expression and laughed a few times.
"Her father has been seriously ill for several years. He may have passed away tomorrow. At that time, maybe I will be in charge of the magistrate of County Yin and call him Lord Yin!"
"Oh, then Liu Ruyan must be called the city lord's wife."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two laughed a few times, but seeing Chen An's expression becoming more and more calm, they thought this guy had seen the reality clearly.
The fat man looked at Chen An and asked, "It's better to follow the magistrate of County Yin! Do you think so? Brother?"
"I am your father!"
Chen An pulled out his sword, and a cracked sound under his feet. The long sword penetrated into the air, as if it had torn apart the air, and a white line was stabbed out.
The waiter felt a flash in front of him. The next moment, he saw the fat man. He first spurted out two blood lines in his eyes. The next moment, he covered his heart and swayed his body.
It turned out that in just a moment, the white light poked at the fat man's eyes and heart without distinction.
The waiter was so scared that his heart was broken, his legs became weak, and he knelt on the ground: "Young man, please spare me, spare my life!"
Chen An took a deep breath and pointed the waiter with a long sword dripping blood, with a calm expression that was exactly the same as Yun Zhi'e behind him.
But Yun Zhi'e is probably really used to it.
Chen An was extremely angry.
"Tell me everything you know from one to ten."
Chen An took a step forward, accompanied by the sound of the fat man falling to the ground. Blood tickled along his body, gradually wetting the knees of the waiter kneeling beside him.
Chapter completed!
