Chapter 47: Free Seed
The guard smiled and said, "Most citizens don’t realize that doing administrative work also requires physical strength and skills. Although the Yamen guards arrest and pursue criminals, it is the guards working in the local magistrate’s office who investigate the cases. If we don’t train like this, we will be dead when we encounter criminals when investigating the cases."
After listening to his explanation, Duan Yixin discovered that the work of the guards in the local magistrate’s office was very similar to the work of crime detectives, while the Yamen guards were similar to soldiers in her original world. To complete the investigation and come back alive, they really need to be equipped with skills and physical strength.
Thinking this way, Duan Yixin observed everything along the way with great interest. Not long after, the guard took them to the administrative building.
He looked at Duan Yixin and the little boy and said, "You two wait here. I will go in and tell Administrator Lin first."
After saying that, he walked into the building alone. Soon, he came back and said, "You can go in now, Young Lady. I must return to my post now. If you need someone to guide you out, just ask some of the guards here."
Duan Yixin nodded and thanked him. After the guard left, the little boy and Duan Yixin went in.
Standing on the roof of a nearby building, Jian Yi watched her and the little boy walk into the administrative building. He thought for a moment, then took out a small piece of paper and a small charcoal stick.
He wrote something on a small piece of paper with a charcoal stick, then rolled it up and took out a small bamboo tube the size of his little finger. Opening the lid of the bamboo tube, Jian Yi put the small piece of paper in and then closed the lid tightly.
He raised his head, looked up at the sky, and let out a long whistle. Soon, a black raven approached him from a distance. He raised his left arm and waited for the black raven to land.
