Rui Zhu was dissatisfied in her heart, what is this called, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, do we really want to give Master Xie silver." ”

Tan Wanqing got up slightly and put the book in her hand back on the table, "No need." She said lightly, "Since you want it in the future, why bother to send it, if you come to ask for it, give it to him." ”

Although the young lady said it so lightly, Rui Zhu still saw the unhappiness on the young lady's face, and she couldn't even read the book, where could she be happy.

Tan Wanqing's eyebrows were frowned, she didn't sleep well last night, I don't know if it was too hot on the kang, or there was no warmth at dawn, she was always tossing and turning uncomfortably, as if there were always bursts of horses' hooves in her ears, or the sound of the carriage rolling.

Such voices, repeated repeatedly, seemed to recall the woman who knelt on the ground, with a frightened face, slowly struggling to crawl, but crawling very slowly, on a blood-splattered morning many years ago, in the midst of the extremely chaotic neighing of horses' hooves.

For a moment, Tan Wanqing complained about why she didn't avoid like others, and blamed her for the many troubles she brought to herself, but she never thought that she would be a pregnant woman, she didn't dare to run, just for the fetus in her womb.

The moment she woke up, her stomach, which had not eaten much rice for a day and night, began to throb again.

She sat on the table, hurriedly reached out to take Ruizhu and put it on the table in the morning, cut a small piece of thin and square soft pastry, and put it in her mouth, but it was obviously a sweet pastry, but when she ate it in her mouth, it was so bitter, she curled the tip of her tongue and swallowed it stiffly.

"Miss." Rui Zhu saw that Miss suddenly picked up the cold snack on the table and put it in her mouth, and felt that Miss swallowed it not as slowly as usual, but a little impatient, she thought of her own words, so that Miss was uncomfortable, and hurriedly got up from the side of the kang and said: "Miss, I'm just saying, don't take it to heart, then Lord Xie bought the house, maybe it's really a coincidence, it's close to the north gate, and it's quite common to buy a house, or just haven't had time to tell us, and this house is not good, it's small and rustic, The ondol is so big, there is not even a sandwich wall fire channel, not to mention a warm bath, but the water is very astringent, how can there be a fine and slippery mountain spring water that Miss used to use......"

Rui Zhu became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and finally quickly changed his words: "The porridge is warm on the stove, I'll go and bring a bowl to the young lady to read;." "After that, he will lift the curtain and go out.

"Ruizhu." Tan Wanqing called her softly and said, "You go and find a place to live, and we will do our best to move out of here." ”

When Rui Zhu heard this, he hurriedly responded, "I'll go now, Miss's current paintings are selling tightly, and we have some silver on hand, so we must find a better place than here." ”

Tan Wanqing shook her head, she didn't mind using the skills she used to support her family again, but no one knew better than her that the toxicity of dyeing, especially the pigments used now, contained a lot of lead poison.

If you don't do this business, you don't know, and most of the painters have been irritable and have died of serious illness in the past, mostly because of this reason.

It was difficult for her to say anything about this, so she said: "Just pick a place where you can live." ”

Ruizhu hurriedly agreed, lifted the curtain and went out.

Tan Wanqing sat at the kang table, no longer bothered to look at the biography on the table, but felt that her heart was heavy and unhappy, and she was thinking about what to do in the future.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from Rui Zhu outside, "Who are you?" Then came a group of footsteps, smoothly entering the courtyard.

A loud voice came: "We are the officials of the Yamen, and now we are going to replace the household registration case of the whole city, how many families are in your family?" Even the old and the young are counted, and none of them can be bad, so take out all the household registration guides......" After saying that, he took out the thick book in his hand.

Tan Wanqing's heart jumped, and the kang couldn't sit still, so she only paused, then hurriedly took the paper stuffed in the cupboard, put it in her sleeve, thought about it, and took the silver and put it in, before she put on her shoes and pushed the door open and walked out.

The people who have been mixing with the yamen for a long time are already angry, and they have a sideways face, which makes people particularly afraid of three points when they look at it, plus Tan Wanqing and the others escaped from the hands of the yamen, and now when they hear the word yamen, they even have to jump three times when they hear the word yamen.

How can a weak heart be described, not to mention that the other party has entered the house, and is asking them for a household registration certificate.

How can this be good, Rui Zhu looked at the more than ten people wearing green clothes and soap hats, and pinned waist knives, so frightened that they didn't even dare to gasp, and they were trembling and should not be either, and they hated opening the door just now.

When I saw the young lady come out, I finally stopped my trembling legs and ran behind the young lady.

Tan Wanqing saw such a group of fierce and vicious people, and her heart was also furious, it is impossible to say that there is no psychological shadow, and the scene on the road to exile is now something that she doesn't want to remember.

She glanced at the leading civil official who didn't know how many grades, and saw that he was holding a very thick four-character booklet with a seal "Guard New Jane" in his hand, and on the top layer, there was a note that read: ...... Zhang Wenwu, seven feet two inches long, black. "At a cursory glance, it seems to be from He County, He County, He Li, name, age, height and skin color are recorded in detail.

There was no room for delay under this scene, so she could only salute slightly, and asked stubbornly: "This official, our sisters were not originally from Wei'an, and they only fell here two months ago. ”

In the cold winter, I have to go out to check the household registration door to door, and there are so many households in the city, plus the armor books of the refugees who are about to move in from the city, they have to be busy all winter, and they are anxious, so naturally they don't have a good temper.

However, when I saw a woman with a beautiful appearance and a white and flawless face, the willows were weak, and they were all stunned, that is, the eyeballs were facing upward, they were all right eyes, and the beads were staring well, listening to the beauty Yan Hong's small mouth spit out some words, I only felt that the sound was like a clear yellow warbler out of the valley, so good that the bones were crispy.

They all softened the root of their tails first, and they were impatient to ask more than other households.

After a moment of silence, a servant couldn't help but reply: "Those who can enter, as long as the girl has a household registration, can do it, and the top is to check those Ding households who have been evading taxes for a long time and concealing the population. The tone was so different from the shouting when he entered the door just now that it was hard to believe that this was actually from the mouth of a fierce official.

Is that so? Tan Wanqing raised her eyes and glanced at a few people, and more than a dozen people only felt that their eyes were like looking at the moon in the water, their eyes were cut from the water, and they were looking forward to it.

Tan Wanqing paused, thinking that if Xie Chengzu wanted to arrest someone, how could it be so complicated and troublesome, it should be fine, so she took out two yellow pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to the civil official who recorded them.

The slender hand, the snow and the green fingers, the eyes of the person who looked straight at it did not blink, until the stunned scribe received it in his hand, and when he opened it, when he saw the two monks, his face suddenly changed, monks?

The official who spoke just now also seemed to be a leader, and his eyes also swept towards the household register, and suddenly he looked at the woman in front of him, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes, and couldn't help but straighten his waist, and looked at her condescendingly, with a sense of obscenity and calculation in his eyes, and without waiting for the clerk to speak, he said: "You are also monks?" That's a big deal, and more than a dozen fake monks have been caught in the city who bought and sold monks' certificates to avoid paying taxes.

The two of them are full of green hair, but they use the origin of the monks, but they are very strange, if they are also bought from people, it is not that the original identity is not visible, then it is necessary to live a good life......"

Tan Wanqing saw that his face suddenly changed, and his heart was not good, and he heard that he actually pointed out his identity, and only said the word fugitive, his face was even more panicked, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Our sisters have to come to Wei'an City because the incense was cut off in the nunnery, and the monks collapsed and went to the east and west......

"Hmph, let's keep these words in prison, come on, escort them to the yamen!"

The scribe next to him saw the panic on the woman's face, and his heart couldn't bear it, ordinary offenses, women would not be directly taken to prison, unless it was a felony and a capital crime, it was obvious that there were few people in prison, because as long as the woman entered, there was no possibility of coming out, either waste inside, or die inside, only felt that this was too much.

He reminded in a low voice: "It only says that the tax evaders will be taken to the outer city for peace, and the land will be reclaimed next year, and there is no mention of imprisonment." ”

The head of the official looked at the scribe, but said: "Escorting them outside the city can't reclaim wasteland, not to mention, it is suspected that they use fake household registrations, and their real identities are dirty, maybe they are fugitives, so naturally we must find out." ”

Just looking at this woman's appearance, she doesn't look like a peasant girl, Xu is a young lady who has committed a crime, she is not tossed with them when she is imprisoned, such a fairy beauty, where did she get it, and there are such excuses, and they are here, even if they are taken to prison, no one will avenge them, such an opportunity, it is not a pity that they do not fall into their hands to play.

The head had already experienced this, and he salivated at the end of his mouth, and without waiting for the two to cry out for injustice, he spoke out and asked people to take him back.

The last two were ready to move, and they stepped forward to clear Tan Wan away.

Tan Wanqing was shocked, and then looked at the officials who raised their eyebrows and grinned, tacitly looking, and suddenly understood, it was really dirty, and she couldn't help but hate in her heart, and she took a few steps back in a panic, and even cold sweat overflowed from the corners of her forehead, not to mention Rui Zhu, who was about to faint with fright.

When a group of people surrounded them in the courtyard of the house, trying to come forward and catch them.

"Bold, you guys are blind and have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard! Even Xie Fu dared to bring people in! Du He, who was outside, was panting and puffing to arrive, and when he saw the adults in the courtyard standing there with their hearts pointed and still intact, he almost shed tears of gratitude, but fortunately, Zuo reported the news early.

"Thanks, Xie Fu?" Lord Xie's mansion?

This person is the right-hand man under Lord Xie, and they all know it, since he said that he is Xie Fu, that is, it means......

Several people, especially the head of the official who was about to arrest people just now, suddenly changed their faces, and they were a little trembling when they looked at Tan Wanqing's mouth, then she was ...... Is it Lord Xie's family? So, why didn't you say it earlier in the first place? He also took out two monks, isn't this a life?

The scribe still holds the two monk certificates in his hand, and the group of people you stare at me, I stare at you. I was a little dumbfounded, I never thought things would change like this.

"What are you doing here? Where to go, get out, get out, if you don't want to die, get out. Du He pinned a big knife to his waist, stepped forward and pulled out the two household registrations, and when he roared like this, more than a dozen people were like rats, and they ran away without a trace.

Du He had a fierce face, turned his head to Tan Wanqing, and smiled like a tiger with a pattern on his face, "Then girl, you can rest in peace, I have already sent people away, and I will hang a sign of Xie Fu in the courtyard in a while, and there will be no idle people waiting to disturb in the future." ”

After saying that, he stuffed the two pieces of paper into his sleeve and was about to leave.

"Lord Du." Tan Wanqing just got back to her heart, and when she saw that he had received the household registration, she quickly said, she knew this person, that time in Fang City, she heard Xie Chengzu call him Du He.

"Don't you dare to be an adult, just call me Du He." Du He didn't dare to let the future garrison lady call him Lord, so he hurriedly corrected, but he thought in his heart, how did she know that her surname was Du, but she forgot that she had met before.

"The household register." It took a lot of money to buy it, and it is not easy, it is a monk, and it will be returned in the future, and it can still be used, and it is always better to have this than to have no certificate.

Du He was embarrassed: "This is what the adults mean, sooner or later they will have to be taken back, otherwise, I am really worried that the girl will run into some mountain and wild tartar nest again, and the adults will not have the energy to save it again, and besides, I dare not say anything else, as long as I don't go out of this city, absolutely no one will change to a difficult girl." Thinking of something, he hurriedly added, "It was an accident just now, the sign of Xie Fu was done yesterday, it was my negligence, I forgot to hang it, I let people nail it to the wall, absolutely no one dares to come to the door again, girl, you can live in peace." ”

After saying that, Du He ran out and took down the sign on the horse, nailed it to the wall, and after nailing it, he left.

Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves riding away, when Tan Wanqing and Ruizhu returned to the room, the two sat down, their legs were weak, and they didn't recover for a long time, Ruizhu rarely cried this time, because Miss's face was very bad, she rarely got angry, but in that case, she was angry, she was afraid that if she cried, Miss might think she would annoy her and let her out.

Tan Wanqing sat there and said to herself, how can you be scared? Let's see what he wants!

Think about five years ago, he was still a hairy boy standing on the street who didn't know the height of the sky, and he was not as tall as her, but now, the mountains and rivers are in turn, and now he doesn't even have a household registration, even if he goes out of the city in the future, he has nowhere to go, Tan Wanqing's heart is angry and unwilling, his fingers tightly grasp the green bricks along the edge of the kang, and the braided shells bite together hard.
