A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 120: Jie Daohan's Dilemma
Duan Rong stood in the martial arts arena until midnight before he dispersed his energy and returned to his previous rhythm. Duan Rong felt very fulfilled!

Especially after breaking through the bottleneck of mental power growth, he even felt that such high-intensity training was a kind of enjoyment for him!

He felt a long-lost sense of refreshment!

Duan Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the weapon rack in the corner. He suddenly grabbed a ghost-head knife and said silently: "Read the weapon spirit!"

Object: Ghost-head knife
Spirit Level: Level 2

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 2 (satisfied)

Devouring effect: Abi sword technique minor success

Duan Rong looked at the data before his eyes, his expression unchanged, and said silently: "Swallow!"

Duan Rong decided to learn a sword technique every night before going to bed!
I'm afraid no one in this world has mastered so many sword techniques! ?

As the saying goes, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change!
Duan Rong really wanted to see what kind of changes would happen to his swordsmanship after absorbing enough minor sword techniques.
After Duan Rong entered the Lingming Sea of Consciousness, he gained a deeper understanding of the ability to devour weapon spirits.

Before, he was a little worried that if he devoured too many spirits, would there be any adverse side effects?
But since entering the spiritual sea of consciousness, he no longer has such worries!

After digestion, the spirit of the instrument turned into mist and filled the sea of spiritual consciousness!
The sea of consciousness is boundless, and the mist of thoughts is so thin that even if it is filled up a little more, there will be no problem!

Then he hasn’t had enough!
"The Scarlet-Filled Boy knows all the martial arts in the world!"

Duan Rong lay on the bed in the dormitory, muttered something in a daze, and then fell into a deep sleep!
It was almost dawn, but the light was still on in the constable's room in the county government office!

Xie Daohan sat at his desk, flipping through the files in his hand in the light of candlelight!
As he watched, he picked up the teapot on the table, wanting to pour himself another cup of strong tea to moisten his throat!

But when he picked up the pot, he found that it was empty. Xie Daohan had no choice but to pick up the teacup at hand and pour the little water stain at the bottom of the cup into his mouth!
While Xie Daohan was chewing the bitter and moist tea leaves in his mouth, he was concentrating on reading the details of the case files of the Whale Tiger Gang's major cases back then, word by word...

After Xie Daohan ran into a snag at the West City Gate that day, he began to investigate the cases of Xie Lei and Xu Ruhu...

After all, this is related to Jie Lei's death. Even if he is a commoner, he will do his best to dig out the murderer. What's more, he is the head of the county government and is in charge of criminal matters!

Because the clues of the corpse poison pointed to the Whale Tiger Gang! He immediately launched an investigation into the Whale Tiger Gang!

But the results of the investigation shocked Xie Daohan!
The Whale Tiger Gang completely disappeared in Xiangu County!

A group of core gang members were almost completely slaughtered in the three major cases a few years ago!
During that turmoil, the surviving Whale Tiger Gang leader Zhou Shoushan and military advisor Wu Hui were still lurking in the house, occasionally coming out to buy things, but just a while ago, they suddenly disappeared without a trace!
This made Xie Daohan even more suspicious, and he suspected that this case was related to Zhou Shoushan and Wu Hui...

He then came to check the files overnight, hoping to find some clues from the pile of old papers!
While Xie Daohan was working hard on the case, Fan Yuanhai was hanging out in the Huaying Tower every day. But after a few days, he only saw Lianying, one of the four Huayings!
It’s not that he didn’t care, it’s just that the Four Flower Shadows were too popular, with so many fans and patrons that he simply couldn’t get a spot in a few days!
But even so, Fan Yuanhai went to Huaying Tower every day. As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best!
On this day, Fan Yuanhai was drunk in Huayinglou again. When the sun rose, he returned to Chunfeng Inn with a shaky step! The proprietress Xu Ru saw Fan Yuanhai running to Huayinglou every day and not even eating in the inn, and she was immediately a little angry!
When she opened the Zuichunlou brothel, it was forced to close down by the Huayinglou. Now that it has been changed into an inn, she is still losing business to the Huayinglou. How can she not be angry?

"Hu Huanhuan, you are really cruel!"

The key point is that Fan Yuanhai is very generous. He spends more than ten taels of silver on a meal without blinking an eye...

With such a huge fortune under his belt, he never spends any money in the store, and all his money goes to Huaying Tower. Isn't Xu Ru worried?

She is just old. If she were a few years younger, she would even be ready to throw herself into his arms...

Although Xu Ru was angry, she always had a smile on her face. She wiped the wine stains on Fan Yuanhai's shoulders with her handkerchief and helped him up to the room on the second floor!
As soon as Fan Yuanhai arrived at the room, he pushed Xu Ru out, locked the door, and fell asleep!

Xu Ru was pushed by Fan Yuanhai and staggered in the corridor. She held on to the railing and finally stood up. She leaned against the railing and cursed in a low voice: "You damn little thief, you only know how to spend money in that filthy place called Huaying Tower! Can't you let down a little and feed me..."

Xu Ru had just cursed a few words when snoring sounds came from Fan Yuanhai's room!
Xu Ru rolled her eyes, spat, and went downstairs with a twist of her waist...

Xu Ru went downstairs, came to the counter, flipped through the account book, and started using the abacus on the counter!
Xu Ru was clacking the beads on her abacus when suddenly a voice called out from the door of the inn, "Madam Landlady, is Fan Yuanhai staying here?"

Xu Ru was calculating to the crucial point, about to figure out the last digit of this month, when she was suddenly interrupted. She frowned, glanced at the person who came, and was slightly stunned!
The man was about forty years old, looked dignified and steady, and was wearing a green official robe with a seahorse patch on it.

According to the official system, the seahorse patch is the patch for ninth-rank military officers.

After all, Xu Ru had run a brothel and an inn, so she was considered knowledgeable. Although she did not recognize the man, she knew that his official uniform was that of a postman of the Ministry of Public Administration!

The Tongzhengsi is responsible for the delivery of official documents and is directly under the jurisdiction of the provincial government and has nothing to do with local officials!
When the Taiyi Sect governed Qingzhou, they attached great importance to the confidentiality of official documents. Not only did they develop a complete seal system, but they also regarded the acts of killing the Tongzhengsi postmen or stealing official documents as treason, and the nine generations of the clan would be punished!
Moreover, most of the Tongzhengsi postmen are masters with great accomplishments!

"Hey... uncle, you look unfamiliar..." Xu Ru immediately came out with a smile on her face!

The man did not respond to Xu Ru's question. He asked again with a stern face, "Does Fan Yuanhai live here?"

Xu Ru's smile froze on her face, and she said with a bit of embarrassment, "Yes, on the second floor!"

The man glanced towards the second floor and said, "Lead the way!"

When that person spoke, there was an aura of authority without even being angry. Xu Ru's social skills were completely useless and were directly shattered.

"Uncle, please come this way!" Xu Ru couldn't help but straighten her face. She took the man up the stairs and came to the door of Fan Yuanhai's room.
