When Zhou An replied with "you", all the detectives present turned their attention.

The expression on everyone's face is different.

Some were surprised, some were confused, and some were watching the show.

The first of three things this new official has done since taking office has already started to burn.

What Zhou An did at this time, in their eyes, was just making trouble.

This is the same as in the workplace. When a person starts to cause trouble, other colleagues will look at him with gloating eyes.

"If you have any opinions, you can put them forward."

Wu Youde tried his best to keep his expression friendly, but he started to sneer in his heart.

The first step for him to come here is to rectify all these unhealthy tendencies, especially this gang of sneaky people.

He was very satisfied with the performance of this group of agents just now, which meant that he had achieved the first step.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An showed a different attitude at this time, which made him a little angry, but also very happy.

What makes him angry is that Zhou An dares to raise his opinion at this time, and what makes him happy is that he can kill the chicken to honor the monkey.

No matter what Zhou An says later, he will inevitably get scolded.

"That's it. I was forced to make a living, so I went to the kitchen to be a chef." Zhou And said.

Wu Youde sneered in his heart and said, "Is that so? The salary given to you by the court is not enough? As far as I know, the salary given to the catchers by the court is above the passing line in Anding County."

How could Zhou An not know what Wu Youde meant, but he already had an idea.

"That's enough, but I think the money is too little."

When Wu Youde heard this, he immediately became angry: "How dare you, as a court agent, have such thoughts!"

OK, that’s great!

He originally thought that Zhou An would stop talking after he said a few words. Although the meaning of killing chickens and respecting monkeys was there, it was not profound enough.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An actually contradicted him, which was interesting enough.

Since you want to talk back to me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"Zhou An, do you know that what you just said is already challenging my bottom line."

"I don't know." Zhou An shrugged and said, "Master Wu, since you think I have challenged your bottom line, then this matter can be easily solved."

"Oh? How to solve it?" Wu Youde said slowly: "Let's do this, I will deduct two months of your salary first, and this matter will be ignored..."

"I quit."

Before Wu Youde could finish speaking, Zhou An took the lead.

Wu Youde was about to say what he wanted to say next when Zhou An said these four words, confusing him.

Not only him, but the police officers present were also confused, and they all focused their attention.

Everyone was echoing the four words Zhou An said just now.

"What did you say, you quit?" Wu Youde wanted to confirm whether he heard correctly.

Zhou An smiled and said: "Since Mr. Wu won't let me do this, I won't do it. It's not interesting anymore."

He had just thought clearly.

Wu Youde obviously didn't want the fishermen to continue fishing.

Perhaps for the fishermen, not fishing is a little tiring, but their salary is still the same.

But for Zhou An, there is no need.

The reason why he continued to work as a policeman was mainly due to two considerations.

First, of course he has an official status.

Secondly, it’s because I’m living a good life now and I can practice fish liver proficiency.

The second one is the highlight.

If you keep yourself busy and don't have time to practice proficiency, then what's the point of keeping it?

Just because of his lowest-level official status, he gave up the chance of liver proficiency?

He just wanted to say, you are thinking shit.

As for the source of the money, there are many ways, which can be considered later.

When Wu Youde heard Zhou An's answer, his face quickly became extremely gloomy.

"Zhou An, are you sure?"

He found that his strategy did not work and did not achieve the effect of killing the chicken and respecting the monkey.

Because the chicken is now out of the cage.

Not killed at all.

What's more important is that when the chicken flew out, it blinded his eyes.

Now is the time to establish prestige, and suddenly Zhou An quits. Isn't that a slap in the face?

"Sir, if I don't do it, I won't do it. I'm sure of it." Zhou An shrugged.

Wu Youde's face became even more gloomy.

But he also knew that Zhou An had already said this, and there was really no need for him to say any more. If he said any more, it would only be more embarrassing.

He could even feel that several of the detectives were suppressing laughter.

"Okay, you go find someone, collect this monthly salary, pack up and leave." Wu Youde waved.

"Okay." Zhou An didn't have any regrets and agreed happily.

From now on, I am free, I have plenty of time to improve my proficiency, and I can do whatever I want.

Moreover, whatever happens in the yamen has nothing to do with him.

When you think about it, it's very beautiful.

"Is there anything else? If there is anything you don't want to do, just say it quickly. I'll stop here. If you don't say it today, you won't have this opportunity in the future!"

Wu Youde felt that he had to make amends, so he said what he just said.

What he means is that it will be his loss if Zhou An quits, don't think about it.

I thought that for the sake of salary, no one in this group of agents would dare to stand up in front of me, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, another hand was raised.

Wu Youde cast an angry gaze: "You don't want to do it either?"

Yu Hang raised his hands and said very calmly: "I want to study, and I don't have time to be a catcher every day. Besides, my brothers don't work anymore, so it's boring for me to work here."

Just now when Zhou An said he wouldn't do it, Yu Hang also had this plan.

If my brothers don’t do it anymore, why do I still do it?

What's more, if you really follow Wu Youde's method, how much time will you have to read?

The selection will be completed in a short time, and the imperial examination will be held at that time, so time is very tight.

"Okay, okay, you go with him too!" Wu Youde waved his sleeves angrily.

He felt that the first fire he had started today was extinguished by a basin of water.

But the key is that he can't reason with him yet. After all, if others quit, what's the use of trying to reason with him?

If you quit, it means you are a common man. You really don't dare to use your power to oppress others.

The emperor of Chu State said something.

This means that no matter whether they are people in the industry or people in the four major categories, they are not as important as ordinary people. Ordinary people are the foundation of the great Chu country.

At that time, there was an official who believed that this was just a pretentious talk, and he had done something to oppress the people.

It was okay that this happened secretly and no one noticed, but he came out in the open and reported to the capital.

This guy thought that he was a second-rate scholar, so he felt that the most he could do was punish him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news in the capital, His Majesty sitting in the palace issued an imperial edict.

Not long after, the official was beheaded.

From then on, everyone knew that it was okay if these common people committed crimes. If they didn't commit crimes and you dared to provoke them, you would really have your head chopped off.

Wu Youde felt that he had been humiliated today, so he waved his sleeves and left without paying attention.

Zhou An and Yu Hang looked at each other, silently completed the departure procedures, put down all their official uniforms, and then walked out in casual clothes.

Before doing it, Zhou An went back home, exchanged the knife he made with the ordinary long knife he kept at home, and put the knife and pan into the money bag given by Ye Shuang, and then completed all the procedures. Done.

After I left, I stopped working, and the police officers talked less accordingly.

These things are like this. No matter how long you work in one place, the relationship between colleagues will always stop at colleagues.

Of course, there are exceptions, but most of them are like this.

For example, now, everyone usually chats very well, but after Zhou An and Yu Hang resigned, they don't want to talk.

After going out, it's mostly just to say hello on the way.

After leaving the county government office, Zhou An asked Yu Hang what his recent plans were.

"Studying, I have saved a lot of money recently, which is enough for me to pass the imperial examination. If I really fail to pass the examination, I will find another job and continue to take the examination."

Yu Hang is very free and easy. In fact, he has always been a free and easy person.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, whatever work you plan to do, don't do anything illegal, otherwise my brother won't be able to handle it."

Zhou An smiled and said: "Lao Yu, it's not like you don't understand me. How can I do anything illegal? Let's just relax for a while and talk about it later."

He had a plan.

From now on, you can go to the blacksmith shop to strike iron all morning, and then stay at home in the afternoon and evening to practice the cooking technique.

After he upgraded the Fusion Casting Technique to Level 4 and the Chef Ding's Blade Technique to Level 5, he would then develop several other Level 4 skills.

At his current rate, it probably won't take long, after all, he is now full-time liver proficient.

Just think about it.

Zhou An is a very active person.

"Lao Yu, you go back first, I have to go shopping."

Yu Hang didn't ask anything. He knew that his brother was probably quite busy now.

Although I don’t know what I am busy with, I don’t ask much about these things.

Even good brothers have to have boundaries sometimes, right?

Yu Hang said this and left directly.

After Yu Hang left, Zhou An went to the blacksmith shop.

It wasn't far from the Yamen to the blacksmith shop, but on the way, Zhou An really encountered something.

On the wide and clean street, a carriage was driving slowly.

There are also carriages passing through Anding County, but they are rarely encountered. After all, it is a remote and small county.

Zhou An stood nearby, waiting for the carriage to pass by. He looked at it subconsciously and immediately discovered something was wrong.

This carriage is very luxurious, not in terms of size, but in terms of various decorations on the outside. Just the horses pulling the carriage look shiny.

Moreover, around the carriage, there were about a dozen people wearing uniforms and holding weapons in their hands.

There were small traders next to him, and Zhou An also heard their exchanges.

"How come we have such a big family coming to this small county?" a commoner said in a low voice.

Even ordinary people can see the difference in this carriage.

Another commoner said in a very gossipy tone: "I heard that people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce live in this carriage."

"Oh, it would be amazing if they are really from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. This is one of the best chambers of commerce in the Chu Kingdom. Why do you want to come to us?"

"You don't understand this. This is also brought by our county magistrate. I heard that when our county magistrate was in the capital, he had the support of people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

"So that's it. It seems that our lord wants to do something big in Anding County... The Chamber of Commerce has circulation!"

"Anyway, if Anding County becomes prosperous because of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, we can make a little more money."

Listening to the words of the people around him, Zhou An also got a rough idea.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is one of the top chambers of commerce in the Chu Kingdom.

Chamber of Commerce, it can be described in two words.

--rich.

Their scope is also very wide, they can do anything and make money as long as they have money.

Of course, these were not his biggest concerns last night. He felt that there was a reason for what Wu Youde did.

"It seems that they are not willing to live in this small county. They want to improve Anding County and then raise it to the top." Zhou An thought.

This matter should be understood clearly. After all, he fell from the capital. He was promoted openly and demoted secretly. No one would be convinced.

But he didn't expect that this guy was running a pretty good business in the capital, and that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was supporting him.

But these things have nothing to do with you.

He was just thinking about it, he had more important things to do.

"Proficiency still matters."

Zhou An didn't stay long. He probably just understood it and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

There are still many things to do, and he doesn't have time to waste here.

Without the position of police officer, Zhou An felt much more relaxed.

After leaving this street, Zhou An walked towards the blacksmith shop without stopping or leaving any ink marks.

"Why are there wheel marks?"

On his way to the blacksmith's shop, he noticed traces of wheels on both sides of the road.

This trace looks very much like a carriage.

Having just encountered the carriage, and now seeing the wheel marks of the carriage, Zhou An was reminded of the scene he just saw.

But he didn't think much about it and continued to rush to the blacksmith shop.

The wheel marks go all the way forward.

Zhou An also moved forward and finally arrived at the blacksmith shop.

Not far from the door of the blacksmith shop, he stopped.

A carriage was parked outside the blacksmith shop ahead.

The guards surrounding the carriage blocked the door of the blacksmith shop.

It feels like there is a big secret.

"Old Zhao is not a simple guy, but is he related to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce?" Zhou An thought when he saw this scene.

Even a fool can tell that the scene in front of him is not simple.

Zhou An tried to walk to the door, but before he could get close, two guards reached out to stop him.

"Brother, there is something going on in the blacksmith shop. Please come back later."

The guards were very polite and did not conflict with Zhou An.

Zhou An touched his chin.

Everyone else greeted him with a smile, so he couldn't go up and slap him twice. This was not a good thing.

He planned to wait outside and see what happened later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had this idea, a voice came from the room.
