Anomalous Events That Shocked the Prefecture and Commandery, and the Expert of Prison Dragon County

Shen Jiyue felt that the past period of time had been very troublesome for her every day.

A few months ago, an anomalous event occurred in Baihe County.

That anomalous event had a great impact.

At that time, the entire Baihe County was in panic, and it also affected other counties within Yinghe Prefecture, and even the commandery government was alerted.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were five major commanderies: "East, South, West, North, and Central".

Among them, the Southern Commandery had three prefectures, and Yinghe Prefecture was one of them.

Within Yinghe Prefecture, there were more than a dozen county towns of varying sizes.

Prison Dragon County, Baihe County...

were all among them.

One could imagine the impact of that anomalous event a few months ago, which could shake a "prefecture" and even alert a "commandery".

And Shen Jiyue, a Squad Leader of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, was responsible for following up and investigating that highly impactful anomalous event.

The result was obviously self-evident.

She couldn't find anything out!

Shen Jiyue, with a face full of distress, grabbed a bowl of wine and tilted her head back, taking a big gulp. There were already two empty wine pots on the table in front of her, but her expression showed no signs of drunkenness.

In her other hand, she held a piece of paper.

The paper recorded some small clues that she and her subordinates had painstakingly searched for recently.

"Sigh! They're all unrelated to that matter!" After a casual glance, Shen Jiyue crumpled it into a ball.

Just then, she suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the inn was a bit off.

It had become too quiet.

It had been quite lively just moments ago.

Shen Jiyue narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze shifted to other parts of the inn, and she found that everyone around seemed to be looking towards the inn's entrance.

And their gazes were filled with shock.

This made Shen Jiyue quite puzzled.

She turned around and looked towards the inn's entrance behind her.

Upon looking.

She froze.

Shen Jiyue considered herself tall.

Although she was a woman, due to her naturally large bone structure, there was no one in Baihe County who was taller than her.

Whether she was out and about or on duty at the Imperial Astronomy Bureau... she could always see the tops of people's heads.

But now, she suddenly saw a person taller than herself appear before her eyes.

It was a man.

A burly man!

Shen Jiyue had never seen such a tall man in her life.

She felt that this person was half a head taller than her.

And not only was the other person tall, but he was also very strong.

Not just ordinarily strong, but strong as if he could twist someone's head off with one hand.

"However, this person..." Shen Jiyue couldn't help but frown: "Has a very dense malevolent aura!"

No wonder everyone in the inn suddenly fell silent.

This malevolent aura was so strong that it could affect the people around them!

Even Shen Jiyue was startled by that incredibly fierce and imposing aura!

She felt that when she looked at this person.

It was like looking at a ferocious beast!!

A very brutal beast!!!

"He's not simple!"

Shen Jiyue made this judgment, and she immediately became vigilant.

Her professional habit as a member of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau made her want to go over and question him...

But she restrained herself.

Under Shen Jiyue's "undetectable" observation.

She saw the man find an empty table in the inn and sit down on the long bench beside it with great swagger.

"Second, cut five pounds of cooked beef, two pounds of cooked mutton without the gamey smell, two pounds of cooked pork, and then throw in some vegetables, and finally, a basin of rice. Remember, a basin, not a bowl."

Fan Wu's voice echoed through the inn.

In the otherwise quiet atmosphere, his voice was particularly noticeable.

The inn's waiter, looking at Fan Wu, who sat up to a considerable height, secretly clicked his tongue.

But he still timidly reminded him, "Guest, what you've ordered is enough for a large table... Alright, alright, I'll have the cook start right away."

The waiter ultimately couldn't withstand the immense pressure.

Especially when Fan Wu turned his head to meet his gaze... the waiter felt his heart clench.

He chose to back down.

Watching the waiter scurry nervously to the kitchen, Fan Wu slowly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't particularly want to eat at this inn.

Because he knew there was a Squad Leader from the Imperial Astronomy Bureau inside.

But he was new to Baihe County and couldn't find another inn anytime soon.

And Baihe County was so large, by the time he found another inn...

It would be who knows when.

Thinking about it being broad daylight, even if there was an Imperial Astronomy Bureau Squad Leader nearby, he shouldn't run into any anomalous events.

So.

Fan Wu stayed.

He had already sensed that the Imperial Astronomy Bureau Squad Leader was secretly keeping an eye on him.

The other party seemed to think their attention was subtle, but they didn't realize Fan Wu had already seen through it.

Regarding this.

Fan Wu simply ignored it!

Whether it was because the inn's cook was very efficient, or because Fan Wu had put too much pressure on the inn... he only waited a short while in the inn before the waiter brought the dishes.

Five pounds of beef.

Two pounds of mutton.

Two pounds of pork.

Several plates of vegetables.

A large basin of rice.

Nearly twenty pounds of food in total. If an ordinary person ate this, they'd probably be stuffed to death halfway through, if not sooner.

But for Fan Wu... it was just right!

He devoured the various meats like a whirlwind.

When he got a little tired of eating meat, he'd shovel down a few large mouthfuls of white rice and a few large mouthfuls of vegetables.

His appearance left everyone in the inn dumbfounded.

They couldn't understand how one person's stomach could hold so much food.

Even though Fan Wu looked burly and tall.

It was still incredibly exaggerated!

"He..." Shen Jiyue was also stunned. She thought she was already quite a glutton, but who would have thought there was someone who could eat even more than her.

This made her expression sharpen: "This person must have cultivated a special body-tempering secret technique, and practiced it to a very profound level!"

Just then, more people entered the inn. This time, several people arrived.

The inn, which had been relatively quiet, became somewhat boisterous because of these two people's arrival...

"That was close! Luckily I was quick-witted and ran fast just now, so my father didn't find out. If my father knew I wasn't studying diligently and instead went to a brothel to stay up all night... wouldn't he break my legs?!" one of them complained loudly. "Also, you guys, weren't you just about to abandon me and run off by yourselves?"

"Huh? No! No! How could that be? Hahahaha!" His companion fumbled for an excuse, "At the time, we were also scared by your father's imposing manner. Alas! Let's not talk about that, let's just have a good meal! I'm treating this time!"

"Alright, since Brother Huang is treating, I won't be polite. By the way, Brother Huang, I remember your Prison Dragon County also has a decent brothel, take us there to have some fun sometime?"

"Hahaha! No problem, no problem!!"

"..."

Several young men dressed in luxurious attire walked into the inn together.

However, they quickly noticed that the atmosphere in the inn was very strange.

Because after all their shouting, they realized that within the inn...

Their voices were the only ones that were loud.

Quiet!

Too quiet!

Something's not right!

Weren't there quite a few people in the inn? Why is everyone eating without making a sound?

They suspiciously eyed the people inside the inn, puzzled.

Suddenly...

One of them's eyes snapped wide open, his expression as if he had seen a ghost!

"Brother Huang, what's wrong?"

"I..." The person called Brother Huang rubbed his eyes vigorously, then swallowed. With a dumbfounded expression, he said, "I think I just saw a master from Prison Dragon County."

"Ah?!"
