I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 28 Gathering Intelligence
Gao Min is good at breaking out, so it's a little bit meaningless to hurry.

But all the kings on the road are the three highs of strength, sensitivity and resistance, which complement each other and are shaped like mules, so they are modestly called "donkey friends".

Zhou Ning spent four and a half days on the road, and entered Shuolong County on the evening of the fifth day.

The county town has a hexagonal shape, with three gates, a side three miles long, a wall three feet high, and a width of one foot and five.

Such a structure, as long as there is a bit of brains, you will know the hidden formation.

And so it is.And not only that.

The fortress is thirty feet high, with a 'flame gathering sun array' at the top, which at first glance looks like a pile of super big bonfires with a diameter of one hundred feet.

At night, this huge fire can be seen from high places hundreds of miles away.

This fire not only has the ability to protect the living beings, but also has the function of a lighthouse.

In the past, before Zhou Ning had never seen such a powerful monster that looked like an aircraft carrier, he felt that such super torches were a waste of resources.

But now he knew that without such torches, human beings would have no way to set up a flag in the dark wilderness and live for a long time.

The sheltered land is expensive, coupled with extraordinary versatility, which makes the appearance of human cities in this era different from the ancient times on the earth. Three-story and five-story civil, brick, and stone-wood buildings are very common.

Zhou Ning rented a hotel room, which was a five-story apartment.

Zhou Ning spent a little more money, and lived in a very simple room, with a table, a chair, a bed, and a wardrobe, as well as a rough pottery basin and a small patent leather toilet, all gone.

The three-foot-wide and six-foot-high window corresponds to the table. The window is made of glass, but the texture of the glass is not very good, the pieces are small, the color is not pure, it is green and blurred.

But even so, the fact that it can be widely used in such a motel-like hotel shows the level of production technology of this era to a certain extent.

Zhou Ning originally wanted a new set of quilts, but after thinking about his current identity, he gave up.

When you decide to sleep, just use your own luggage.

He first went to the hotel's small bath to take a bath.

This costs extra.

Domestic water is affected by the evil force and needs special purification.

This item alone is a cost, not to mention the firewood and carbon for boiling water, everything is a cost.

There is a shower, but there is no shower, and Zhou Ning is not used to this level of soup pool where the water is not changed very often. Naturally, this bathing is not pleasant, it is purely for cleaning up personal hygiene.

While scrubbing, he heard some seemingly useful news.

It is said that Tiemen Township has been very restless since the end of autumn, with eight villages in four miles and several experienced hunting teams lost.

This not only affected part of the prices in Tiemen Township and even Shuolong County to a certain extent, but also made many people panic. Could it be that the catastrophe is coming early?
In the Shuolong area, it is almost true that "good luck never comes together, misfortune never comes singly".

But anyone of a certain age knows that every time a nightmare disaster occurs, it will be accompanied by some other disasters, and there are signs.

Like this winter's early cold and the loss of seasoned hunting teams, these can all be counted as omens.

In Zhou Ning's eyes, it's hard to say what the signs are, and the hunting team has lost again and again, but it really needs to be taken seriously.

Back in the single room, I thought about it carefully, but found nothing, so I simply cleaned up my mood and went to sleep.

This sleep was relatively solid.

It can even be said that this is the first time to go to bed early since becoming a ghost hunter.

When he woke up the next day, he went to the street to buy two sets of ready-made clothes for himself, and then had his hair cut.

There is no such thing as 'the skin and hair of the body is influenced by the parents...'. Many people have beards and hair purely because of the need to keep the head warm.

As I said before, the extraordinary severe winter, its power is so cruel that the Eskimos have to shout "sour cool" when they come.

However, Zhou Ning still made a rather refreshing round inch, which is easy to clean and maintain hygiene.

In this era, mortals have no daily cosmetics such as shampoo, nor can they use magic tools and spells to achieve their goals like high-level extraordinary people or wealthy people. The cost of maintaining personal hygiene is really high.Then simplify the problem from the source.

As for the ready-made clothes, there is naturally no custom-made fit, but Zhou Ning is not very particular about this aspect, it doesn't matter if it is a little wider, its main purpose is to cover up.

The suits he wears every day, even if they are covered with broken leather and linen sheets, can't escape the eyes of those who care.

When I was in Fucheng, I could still call it reserved, hoping that someone would have the insight to recognize talents.

When he came to this county, he arranged another set of persona for himself, and his clothes would naturally serve the persona.

After tidying up, Zhou Ning went to find Master Wei according to Li Shi's instructions for Li Ke and Erya to deliver the letter.

This Wei Hong, according to Li Shi, is a family practitioner, a family-passed craft, and he was a security guard when he was young.For example, the annual tax grain and tax silver.

After getting old, he found a job as a housekeeper in the county town.

This childless and single widower, looking at it now, of course has a problem.

Zhou Ning intends to dig out some information from his mouth.

It was nearly noon, and Zhou Ning came to the door with four colored gifts of meat, wine, tea and sugar.

The four-color ceremony varies from time to time and from place to place, like some places are meat (benefit), noodles (shun), chicken (auspicious), fish (surplus).

The four colors of Zhou Ning represent spring, summer, autumn and winter, pink and tender flesh color represents spring, spirits represent the scorching summer, green tea represents autumn, and white sugar represents frost and snow.

'Bang bang! 'The door knocker knocked on the door with a crisp sound.

"Here we come!" The voice was loud and full of energy.

The bolt falls, the door opens, 'Who are you? '

Zhou Ning lifted the gift bag high, but raised the wrist of the other hand, and puffed out a sleeve arrow.

The poisonous needle as thick as a toothpick was as fast as lightning, and the person who opened the door had already been hit before he even realized it.

"Extraordinary poison, no antidote can't survive noon. Let's go, let's talk inside."

The person who opened the door had a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on Zhou Ning.

"Be more efficient. Trying to detoxify will not delay entertaining me, right? How shameful it is to block this door?"

Following the other party into the courtyard, Zhou Ning closed the courtyard door with his foot.

At this time, the door of the house was kicked open forcefully, and a young man aimed at Zhou Ning with a four-armed crossbow.

But in the next moment, the sharp blade was silently attached to his neck.

Hidden knife, IQ still can't satisfy Zhou Ning, but he is obedient.

Relying on his own uniqueness, Zhou Ning was not afraid of the threat of being unable to kill his four-armed crossbow in a single blow.

As if returning to his own home, he went straight to the stone table and stone pier of his subordinates, and put the four-color gift on the table.He turned around and asked the person who opened the door: "Where is Wei Hong? Where did you hide it?"

Half of the body of the person who opened the door was numb, but it didn't affect his speech, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"You are really big!" Zhou Ning smirked: "Don't think that you can pretend to be an official with a military crossbow. It is useless to play tricks in circles. If you die here, you will die in the line of duty at most. Not much compensation money."

The young man on the neck of the knife rested uncontrollably, and said in a trembling and sharp voice: "We are the arrestees of Marquis Wu."

Dagan Wuhou Mansion, its functions are roughly equivalent to national security.

Since the official institutions of this era are not as strict as the modern Earth, with clear divisions of authority, and the laws are far from perfect, the behavior of the people in Wuhou Mansion, at least in the eyes of local officials, appears to be domineering and unruly. , looks ugly...

Thanks to Chaofan, the human civilization in this world has a good set of anti-counterfeiting methods.

The young man took out the tooth card and activated it with his own steps, and immediately a light projected in the air, creating a rather delicate virtual scene of steaming clouds and rosy clouds.

When Zhou Ning saw it, he signaled Yindao to put away his weapon.

At the same time, he also took out a tooth card, which was also activated through a series of steps, and the image of Qu An was generated.

Throwing a bag of antidote to the young man, let him feed the person who opened the door and take it.

Although the two were unhappy, they had no choice but to bow to Zhou Ning at this time, saying: "I have seen Lord Baihu!"

Zhou Ning also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the school official status exchanged from the system had successfully bluffed the officials.

Related options appeared on the second day after he obtained the epic task chain and became dependent on the blessings and misfortunes of Xiuwu County King.

Specifically, it includes high imitation self-made official uniform seals.

It's just that the official uniform I rubbed out by myself is just a formal dress, and no additional effects are added.

This set of official uniforms represents the identity of the school's secret police.

The institution of school affairs is similar to the factory guards in the Ming Dynasty. It is divided into three categories: guards, secret arrests, and prisons.Directly subordinate to the royal family, the rating is very high.

With this identity, things are much more convenient.It saves the three points of being short when seeing officials, and nods and bows everywhere like a third grandson.

Another advantage of school affairs is that you don't have to explain to anyone, including local officials, what you are doing.

And local officials generally don't ask.

Theoretically, the cases that the school is responsible for are all big, important, and secret cases (royal secrets), involving far and wide, and very angry.
