The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1743 How can you become a Martial Saint if you go out without carrying lime!
The next morning, at the Qinghe County government office,

Zhang Cheng arrived, limping.

Looking at him, Old Wu asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"I twisted my ankle when I got out of bed!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Old Wu, he couldn't very well say that the first time he wanted to be a "gentleman thief" was because he sprained his own waist while jumping over his own wall, could he?
With a twitching mouth, Old Wu looked at Zhang Cheng with a very rich expression, which made Zhang Cheng unable to guess whether he was mocking him or laughing at him!

"Pfft!"

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, while the other constables, lacking Old Wu's "experience," immediately burst into laughter as well.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After coughing twice seriously, Old Wu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "This is really unexpected!"

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Old Wu thought for a long time before finally uttering this sentence.

Looking awkwardly at Old Man Wu, Zhang Cheng felt helpless.
However, he is someone who has been through the world before, and his thick skin is unmatched by most people.

"You're in office today, so we're out on business. Make sure we don't get hurt again!"

Smiling broadly, Old Wu joked as he looked at Zhang Cheng.
"Don't worry, I won't!"

Looking at everyone with a forced smile, Zhang Cheng felt that his future in the government office might not be so easy.
Because who would twist their ankle if they got out of bed? That would be useless.

Watching Old Wu and the others leave, Zhang Cheng went outside the yamen and began grinding quicklime.

Seeing Zhang Cheng fiddling with something, Liu Bantou asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"

"Oh, foreman, I'm working on lime powder!"

Turning to Liu, the squad leader, Zhang Cheng began to doubt his own martial prowess.
But it doesn't matter, when you're out and about, martial arts skills are secondary!
"lime powder?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Liu Bantou asked in shock, "What are you doing?"

"Using concealed weapons is understandable, since as a constable I have to deal with a lot of things. My martial arts skills aren't great, so it's normal for me to carry some concealed weapons!"

Smiling at Foreman Liu, Zhang Cheng didn't notice his surprise and continued with his work.

Seeing Zhang Cheng with his back to him, Liu Bantou was dumbfounded for a moment.

Because he really wanted to kick this kid. They were constables, not gangsters. And even if they were gangsters, they wouldn't carry lime powder with them, would they?

"That's it, that's all!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Liu, the squad leader, was speechless.
After resting for three or four days, Zhang Cheng's foot finally recovered; at least he could run and jump again.
However, Zhang Cheng abandoned the idea of ​​having an affair.
Because he didn't have any sleeping potion on hand, but he knew how to make it, which was really nice!

As Zhang Cheng left the pharmacies, he didn't buy everything at one place, but instead visited several.

After all, experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors can usually tell what a doctor wants to do just by looking at the prescription!
Thanks to his "medical research" in the last world, Zhang Cheng's understanding of the human body is now exceptionally profound.

Back home, Zhang Cheng slowly simmered the ingredients in a pot.

Listening to the crackling of the fire and gently waving his fan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at the sunlight filtering through the persimmon tree in the courtyard and exclaim, "Life is wonderful!"

However, just as Zhang Cheng was enjoying a rare moment of peace, a knock sounded at the door.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Uncle Wu?"

"Hurry, Wujiazhuang and Lijiacun are fighting! The squad leader is gathering men!"

When he spoke to Zhang Cheng, Old Man Wu became serious.
Upon hearing his words, Zhang Cheng quickly changed his clothes and placed the jar aside.
Watching Zhang Cheng brew medicine, Old Man Wu asked in confusion, "What are you brewing?"

"Typhoid medicine!"

After explaining to Old Man Wu, Zhang Cheng slung his waist knife over his shoulder and immediately came out.
After closing the door, the two arrived at the county government office. Seeing that the fast and strong men had all arrived, they quickly joined the ranks.

Without any unnecessary words, Liu, the foreman, and another person led everyone directly to the countryside.
After leaving the county government office, more than twenty people rushed to the scene without stopping.
Seeing the chaotic scene of able-bodied young men confronting each other with various farm tools and weapons, Zhang Cheng's lips twitched.
In the Central Plains, the people are united and the villagers are of one mind—this is no joke.
Moreover, when it comes to conflicts between villages, it's perfectly normal for people to refuse to report them to the authorities, no matter what.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Liu, the squad leader, roared as he stepped forward.

As the constables and yamen runners appeared, many able-bodied men turned to look at the village elder.
"Old man, this isn't our Li family village causing trouble, it's the Wu family village that's gone too far, actually stealing three pigs raised by our village!"

Pointing to the people of Wujiazhuang in the distance, the village elder from the Li family immediately stepped forward and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the people from Wujiazhuang immediately retorted, "Old dog Li, shut up! We bought those three pigs!"

"You son of a bitch, how dare you insult this old man! Men of the Li family, get him!"

Upon hearing that the people from Wu Family Village were still trying to argue even after the constables arrived, they immediately roared in anger.

"Charge! Kill them!"

"Men of the Wu family, how dare the Li family village slander us! Charge!"

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Zhang Cheng immediately reached out and pulled out a handful of lime powder from his storage space, saying, "Squad leader, close your eyes!"

Upon suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Liu Bantou was terrified, because he seemed to have figured out what Zhang Cheng was going to do!
"Wow!"

Lime powder was scattered into the air, blinding many people and causing chaos.
Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, the surrounding constables exclaimed in astonishment, "You even carry lime powder with you when you go out!"

"How can you be a martial saint if you go out without carrying lime powder!"

While everyone was complaining, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Tell me, is it any good or not!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, many people gave him a thumbs up, because putting everything else aside, the lime powder trick was something that no ordinary person could come up with!
With many people taken into custody, Liu, looking dejected, looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "You brat."

"Boss, I have a few more packs here, I'll give them to you!"

With a broad smile, Zhang Cheng handed over the lime powder, raising his eyebrows.

Upon seeing Zhang Cheng's belongings, Liu, the foreman, turned around and immediately stuffed them into his pocket.
Because he now thinks Zhang Cheng is right, this thing is really an essential item for yamen runners!

Lime powder: You think you're so great? No matter how great your kung fu is, I can still take you down!
pepper:
Sleeping potion:
After this incident, Zhang Cheng became quite famous in Qinghe County. After all, the name "Shihui Constable" was referring to him.

However, Zhang Cheng didn't care about this at all. After all, it was normal for him to choose to be submissive before the "transmission" was over!

After leaving the government office that day, Zhang Cheng hummed a little tune and skipped home.

"My parents always told me that Huangmei Opera is not easy to sing."

"Imitating adults."

"Help! Help! Waaaaah!"

Stopping in confusion, Zhang Cheng looked bewildered and said, "Am I hallucinating? Why is someone calling for help?"

In the dark alley, the man fiercely covered the woman's mouth, hissing, "Shut up! If you make another sound, I'll slit your throat and rip your heart out."

"Let go of that girl, let me... ptooey, stop! I'm a constable!"

Upon returning from his wanderings, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shout angrily.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, the man said viciously, "Get lost, or I'll chop you up!"

"What the hell? You think I'm kidding? Why don't you go ask around the streets of the Great Song Dynasty and find out who's the boss!"

As he addressed the man, Zhang Cheng reached for his waist and said, "Watch out for the hidden weapon, a shower of gold coins!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the man was startled, thinking it was something ferocious.

But in the next second, a cloud of lime powder blinded us.
Similarly, a girl nearby also shouted, "Lime powder!"

"Oh no, I forgot there were other people here!"

Awkwardly watching this scene, Zhang Cheng rubbed his head and said, "Shouldn't this be considered accidental injury?"
