Fortunately, these basic martial arts knowledge could be learned in Six Fan School.
After Xia An arrived at the Wei Xian City branch, apart from the time she was on duty, she spent the rest of her time in the training field, practicing hard.
On this day, he was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field when he suddenly heard his superior summon him.
"Xia An, you've been in my Xian City branch for some time, right?”
"Milord, I have been in the Xian City branch for seven days.”
"Yes, do you recognize Constable Leng Ning from the headquarters?”
"I have met Constable Leng once.”
"That's good." The manager nodded." This time, Constable Leng is investigating a case in the Central Capital and needs to transfer some manpower from the nearby branch. Since you are familiar with Constable Leng, you can represent us in the Xian City branch.”
This kind of investigation assistance was a thankless task for each branch.
If he did a good job, the credit would go to someone else. If he did a bad job, he would have to take the blame. In addition, Coldblood was a well-known workaholic in the Six Fan School. Before summoning Xia An for questioning, the manager had already questioned many people.
However, when those guys heard about this, they would either use the case they were investigating to avoid it, or they had something to do at home. In the end, the job fell to Xia An.
Xia An didn't resist this. He was eager to have more opportunities to participate in big events, and it would be best if it was something famous. That way, he could reap more benefits.
Wei Xian City was only a hundred li away from the Central Capital, and they could reach it in less than half a day on a fast horse.
Xia An packed her luggage and rode her horse towards the Central Capital.
Riding a horse on a journey was not a matter of going all out. The horse also needed a short rest on the road, eating some grass to recover its strength.
The relay station was where these services were provided.
For Xia An's business trip, she only needed to show her official documents and waist token to enjoy the corresponding services. Although it couldn't compare to those restaurants, it was free of charge. All the expenses were borne by the Imperial Court.
Xia An had just finished her meal and was leaving the relay station when she heard someone making a ruckus at the entrance. She glanced sideways.
"You little beggar, who do you want me to sell my freshly baked mantou to after you pinched it with your dirty hands?”A peddler grabbed a little beggar and scolded him.
"It's just a steamed bun. When I have money, I'll return you eight or ten.”
The little beggar's voice was extremely crisp and he was also very courageous. Ordinary little beggars who were caught stealing food would have long been scared out of their wits.
Not only was this guy not afraid at all, he was even arguing with the stall owner.
"You put it nicely, but you still want to return eight or ten of them to me in this state? Dream on. Besides, the steamed buns were touched by your dirty hands. I'm afraid no one will want this steamer anymore.”
"This shop owner of yours is a little too unreasonable. Other customers buy their own steamed buns. Why don't I see you saying that you have to buy a tray of steamed buns for every one you touch?”
"Alright, then take out the money for the buns. If you can't, I'll send you to the authorities!”
"I…"
The little beggar was about to argue when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and placed a few copper coins on the table.
"This is the money for the steamed buns. You can let her go now.”
The shopkeeper turned around and saw Xia An's official uniform. He was so frightened that he said in a trembling voice," No, no, it's just a steamed bun. Sir, please take back the money."”
"You sell things, I buy things.”
"Sir, that's a lot of money. My steamed buns only cost one copper coin.”
"Who told you that I only paid for him?”
Xia An then took out a few steamed buns from the steamer and took a bite out of one of them." Your steamed buns are pretty good. I don't see any dirt on them."”
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty."
The stall owner smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, you've taken the money. I've also taken the steamed buns.”
The little beggar, who was released by the stall owner, immediately hid behind Xia An and made a face at the stall owner.
Xia An wrapped the remaining steamed buns in oilpaper. After some thought, she took out a few wens and placed them in the beggar's arms.
"I can't give you too much money, or else I'll bring you trouble. Use these few copper coins wisely, they'll be enough for you to deal with for a few days.”
After Xia An finished speaking, she pointed at the official road leading to the Central Capital." You should walk along this road tomorrow morning. By night, you'll reach the Central Capital. That's a big city. As long as you work hard, it shouldn't be a problem for you to find a job to fill your stomach.”
The reason why he didn't let the little beggar set off now was that it was already past noon, and they were still forty to fifty li away from the Central Capital.
It would take at least several hours to walk that far. If he couldn't reach the city before dark, it would be too dangerous for a little beggar to sleep in the wild.
The little beggar looked at the things in his arms, then looked up at Xia An, who was smiling warmly. An indescribable look flashed across his eyes.
"You don't even recognize me, so why are you so good to me?”
"Haha." Xia An reached out and rubbed the little beggar's head, which was covered in grass. She smiled faintly and got on her horse to leave.
