Chapter 40 Method

“It’s blocked.”

Chen Luo secretly observed for a long time and finally found the person who made the move.

An old man with a haggard face, who was hiding on a tree like him, hiding himself with the color of his clothes, so normal people couldn't find him at all. Although Chen Luo was still at the Bone Refining Realm, after absorbing the light blue power, his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Grandmaster. The old man was not yet a Grandmaster, so naturally he couldn't escape his perception.

After confirming that there was someone guarding the gate, Chen Luo changed direction again.

It turned out that this place was also guarded, with the same large army blocking the door and experts hiding.

This is just the entrance of the valley. It is even more unclear what the situation is inside. It would be unwise to rush in rashly.

After observing for a night, Chen Luo discovered more than a dozen secret sentries.

These people were all martial arts masters, all strong men who had mastered the inner energy, and there were three people in the bone-forging realm. These were what he sensed, and there might be even stronger masters in secret.

This is the power of the imperial court. The number of masters is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The masters who were rarely seen in Qingya County before are now everywhere in the valley like dogs.

After confirming that there was no way to sneak into the valley, Chen Luo had no choice but to return home.

'What a waste of heads.'

Before leaving, Chen Luo looked back and saw that the bodies of the martial artists below had been cleared away, leaving him no chance to pick up any leftovers.

Return to the village.

It was almost dawn, and Chen Luo did as usual and practiced before sunrise.

A wisp of 'invisible energy' accumulated in his body again. After so many days of breathing, the slight improvement brought by this method has disappeared. The digestion speed of the light blue power is also getting slower and slower, so that it is now stagnant in his body, blocking many meridians.

"This is not a solution."

Chen Luo thought about a way out. It was obvious that a royal brain could not run fast enough. It could only be used for a cup of tea a day. If it was used too much, the brain would become tired and automatically fall into a deep sleep.

This weak attribute seriously affected Chen Luo's "immortality plan".

“We have to find a way out.”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Luo looked towards the location of Qingya County.

If you can't go secretly, then go openly.

Chen Luo had an idea in his mind.

The sun is at noon.

At the gate of Qingya County Government Office, Jiang Danian yawned sleepily. No matter how the people above him changed, the people below him would not change much. The rotation of county officials did not affect the laziness of the people below them. No matter who took over, they would do the work.

Jiang Danian is in this situation now. He only gets so little money every month. There is no need for him to work too hard. He can just live his life to the fullest.

When Qingya County was in trouble, he almost confessed, but luckily he was lucky enough to survive by hiding in the cellar of a widow's house. Later, when new officials were sent by the court, the surviving runners returned to their posts. Now that the army is in place, the public security in Qingya County has been completely stabilized.

The only regret was that there were fewer familiar faces. The Xiao Taohong he often visited was also gone. I heard that she died that night and was killed by the "rebels". Jiang Danian shed a few tears for this.

It will not be so easy to find such a cheap prostitute in the future. The new girls are too expensive. He has only been there once, and now he has to eat with soup.

"Uncle Jiang! I'm here to see you."

A voice suddenly sounded, and Jiang Danian was startled.

"Is he the eldest nephew of the old Chen family?!" Jiang Danian remembered Chen Luo's identity.

He had few drinking buddies, and Chen Laosan was one of them. When Jiang Danian was drinking, he often asked Chen Laosan to join him. The two of them carried guns and worked together, and they were very happy.

Chen Laosan disappeared after the incident in Qingya County. Now when he goes out to drink alone, he finds the wine bland and tasteless, and he doesn't even have a friend to pay the bill.

It’s not easy to find like-minded friends.

"Why did you come back alone? Where is your third uncle?"

While speaking, Jiang Danian deliberately looked behind Chen Luo, but did not see Chen Laosan.

"My third uncle went to Salt Lake County, so I came back alone today to take a look."

Chen Luo explained with a smile.

His purpose of coming to see Jiang Danian was very simple, which was to apply for the job of undertaker in Qingya County through him.

If he couldn't get through it secretly, why not go through it openly? If it was somewhere else, he might need to use his brain, but this is Qingya County, and they are the local bosses.

When he came here in the morning, he had already inquired and found out that the people working to bury the bodies in the blockaded area were all transferred from Qingya County.

"You went to Yanhu County? Why don't you go back to Qingya County? There are troops stationed here now, it's very safe." Jiang Danian was a little dissatisfied.

Now that Chen Laosan has gone to Yanhu County, doesn't that mean he will no longer have any drinking buddies?

"Uncle San is old, and he was frightened by the last incident, so he retired early." Chen Luo made up an excuse for Chen Laosan. Anyway, Chen Laosan had a lot of money in his hands, and it was impossible for him to come back to be a burial man in the future.

"Retired, what a pity."

Jiang Danian felt a little sorry, but he could understand it. The burial of corpses was different from the yamen runners, and the risk was too high. He still remembered the last time Magistrate Lou asked him to notify Chen Laosan to collect the bodies of Wang Laoshuan's family.

That time he almost thought that Chen Laosan would not survive this disaster, but he didn't expect that this guy was so lucky and survived.

"What do you want from me?"

"It's like this. My third uncle used to have a vacant position in the county government. I thought that since the position is vacant anyway, I might as well take it over so that it won't be taken over by an outsider." As he spoke, Chen Luo took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Danian.

"How can I take your money?"

Jiang Danian pushed the money back, looked at Chen Luo, and left a word.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and tell you. The county government is in need of people to bury the bodies, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Jiang Danian did not think much about this matter. No matter how miserable the corpse burial was, it was still a public job. For many people at the bottom of society, such a position was still very popular. As the nephew of an old friend, he would lend a helping hand.

Jiang Danian was very efficient and came out of the government office in a few moments, holding the appointment document written by the new legal advisor. For a lowly job like burying corpses, there was no need for a letter from a big shot like the magistrate, and the legal advisor could arrange it.

"It's done."

Jiang Danian handed over the new document.

With this thing, Chen Luo was officially appointed as a regular employee of Qingya County.

In other words, his identity is clean and he has a record in Qingya County. Otherwise, it would be somewhat difficult for him to work in the county government during this period.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!"

Chen Luo quickly opened his mouth to thank him.

After the identity problem is solved, you can openly go to "borrow brains". As expected, the solution is that the dead are alive.

As long as you are willing to use your brain, there are always more solutions than problems!

"Since you call me Uncle Jiang, I will naturally help you. If you have time in the future, remember to tell your Third Uncle and ask him to come back and have a drink with me."

Jiang Danian patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and turned back to the county government office.

His identity was not a gatekeeper, but a captain of police.

I yawned at the door before just to be lazy, but now that my juniors are here, I naturally have to straighten my image.
