It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

The gate of the county government office was very lively at the moment.

Two large benches, capable of seating four or five people, were placed across the middle of the front yard.

Two people were lying in the middle of the big bench.

When walking at the door, Zhou An felt very familiar. When he arrived in the yard, he could tell who it was at a glance.

Isn't this the head catcher that Master Xu and Cai took office?

Although Zhou An doesn't pay much attention to this, he vaguely remembers that the newly appointed arrester's surname is Sun.

Why didn't we see each other for just one night and these things happened?

In addition to Master Xu and Catcher Sun who were lying on the bench, there were two other officers standing next to them.

The detectives all held boards in their hands, about eyebrow height.

There were also some policemen watching the excitement around, pointing with excitement on their faces.

Yu Hang is also inside, not even reading at the moment.

He pinned the book to his waist, stepped on his feet and looked inside, with a gossipy expression on his face.

Zhou An was confused and didn't know what they were doing. He walked up to Yu Hang and poked him twice.

"What are you doing? Where are you working in broad daylight?"

Yu Hang thought it was who it was. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhou An. He quickly came over and whispered: "Hey, buddy, I just arrived and listened. This guy Sun Xin gave a gift to Master. That's why." The person who became the head catcher will be punished today and will be slapped on the wall immediately."

Get punished?

Zhou An heard these two words and already guessed the reason.

It was revealed that the co-authorship was a gift.

That’s not right, no one dares to expose it.

After all, even if this matter is exposed, the most it will do is get a slap in the face.

If Mr. Xu finds out by then, these little shoes will have to be worn for a lifetime.

Yu Hang also saw what Zhou An was thinking, and continued: "No one exposed him, and this guy also knew that he was the head catcher, and he just wanted to earn some salary, so he kept a low profile, and no one bothered him.

"But the county magistrate is out of seclusion. After another scare, the two of them said everything. Otherwise, they are experts. The magistrate's skills are so hard to convince people."

Zhou An was stunned.

The county magistrate has left the country?

This is a strange thing.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not too unusual.

He had already heard about it yesterday.

Now the imperial court has changed the method. It is not enough to just hold it in. You have to pass the first level first.

When the time comes for the Supervision Department to come and inspect, if they are not given, they will not even have a chance to be selected.

The county magistrate's departure is actually a matter of course.

"How many boards do you need to play?" Zhou An asked.

This scene is the rhythm that should be punished.

"Twenty big boards, I guess I won't be able to get out of bed for several days." Yu Hang gloated.

Don't underestimate the 20 big boards. Ordinary people may not be able to stand the 10 big boards.

This was the first time Zhou An saw a police officer and master being beaten, and he was also prepared to watch the fun.

Just at this moment, in the house directly opposite the door, there was a sound of footsteps.

From inside the house, a middle-aged man wearing official uniform walked out.

The middle-aged man is thin and not very tall. He has a finger-long beard and holds a book in his hand.

The aroma of a scholar's books spread out immediately.

Zhou An had heard of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's surname is Chen, and he is known by his single name.

It is said that before he was admitted, he was still a poor boy.

After passing the exam, I came to Anding County.

Before the retreat, Anding County was really managed in an orderly manner.

Although it doesn't have much merit, at least it doesn't have any flaws.

Sometimes, having no problems is already considered very good.

The most important thing is that County Magistrate Chen has the ability to be a scholar.

These days, not every scholar can be considered a capable scholar.

Among the four gates, the threshold for scholars is the highest.

Without realizing that level of threshold, even if you are in front of a great official, you will not have the power to surpass ordinary people.

But County Magistrate Chen happened to pass that level.

Entering this level, you have already surpassed many people.

"You haven't taken action yet, what are you waiting for here? Do you want me to help you personally?" County Magistrate Chen's tone was calm, and coupled with his bookish air, he showed his scholarly demeanor.

But after serving as a county magistrate for such a long time, even if his tone is calm, he is not angry or intimidating.

The two detectives who were about to execute him shivered.

Originally, I wanted to take care of the old friendship, be gentle, and let the two people scream a little more miserably, so that they could get away with it.

But now that the county magistrate is personally supervising, they don't dare to think about holding back.

The board was lifted high and fell heavily.

The banging sound was dull, and it was precisely because of the dullness that it really hurt.

The screams and dull sounds echoed throughout the courtyard.

Zhou An also saw this kind of flower work for the first time and thought it was wonderful.

Twenty big boards were played very quickly. When the last board fell, Master Xu and Capt. Sun had no energy to scream anymore.

"If someone gives or takes bribes, if they do it again next time, I will increase the punishment and pull them down!" County Magistrate Chen waved his sleeves.

The two detectives quickly agreed and quickly pulled the man away. Two more detectives stepped forward and packed up the bench.

"What are you still looking at here? Just do whatever you have to do!" County Magistrate Chen snorted again.

The detectives were startled and immediately dispersed.

Zhou An was also ready to leave and go to the kitchen to work on his proficiency.

But before he could go to the kitchen, he heard the sound of drumming.

"Boom!"

The drumming was dull and frequent.

Zhou An looked at the door in surprise.

Drumming?

It's actually drumming?

There is a drum at the entrance of the Yamen, which is called Tanggu.

Generally speaking, no one beats the drum of the Great Chu Kingdom.

If you dare to make a big deal about small things, you will get a slap in the face.

There are only two situations where people will beat the drum.

One is emergency situations, such as the discovery of strongmen and thieves, or the emergence of large-scale problems with huge threats.

The second is major matters, such as important matters and major grievances.

In a situation like this, something big is bound to happen.

County Magistrate Chen had already returned to the inner courtyard.

He was born in poverty and had no house in Anding County, so he lived in the inner courtyard.

After hearing the drums, he ran out with a solemn expression.

When the inspection was approaching, drumming suddenly occurred, and he was naturally in a bad mood.

The detectives also poked their heads out of the room.

Since Magistrate Chen took office, no one had played drums, so they were naturally curious.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and start the class!"

Magistrate Chen waved his sleeves and went to the lobby.

The detectives also had no ink marks. Some of them went to the lobby, while others went to the door.

Zhou An and Yu Hang followed to the lobby and stood on both sides of the lobby.

He was also curious about who played the drums.

After a while, two detectives brought the drummer up.

Zhou An looked at it for a moment.

The person brought up was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and skinny bones, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

The old man was timid and knelt in front of the lobby, not daring to say a word for fear of making the county magistrate angry.

County Magistrate Chen frowned tightly, was stunned, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Who is coming and why are you beating the drum!"
