121. Chapter 121
"Knock knock." There was a regular knock at the door.
Yi Tuan hurriedly stood up, "I'll go into the house first." He said to Amy and the others.
He was afraid that someone would recognize his appearance, so he hid, Amy and the others thought that he would be coveted if he looked too good, so it was better to hide, and the two sides had the same idea.
"Who?" Amy asked aloud.
"Patrol."
Everyone was nervous for a while, they were at home, what was the patrol doing?! Did one of the people who went out commit a crime? Can't you......
"Someone is going to come and register for the census, so that everyone in the house can come out and get ready, and no one will be missing." The people outside shouted, and after a while, the footsteps were far away, and then there was a rumor from the next door, which seemed to be a family that had been notified in advance, so that everyone could prepare for the investigation.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a census, and they thought that something big had happened, the census was going to be carried out in the whole city, and everyone would be frightened every time the previous city lord carried out this kind of activity, and those census teams always took the opportunity to search, but the current city lord was doing practical things, and everyone heard a lot of rumors after living in this city for a few days, and they gradually calmed down, and the city lord of Finks was relatively reliable.
Yi Tuan walked out of the house, he shouldn't have been exposed, so this should really be just a census, it doesn't seem good not to cooperate, put on the hood, and cover up the past with a little dust on his face.
Everyone hurriedly got ready, and the people who did the manual work in the yard put their things into the house, and took out the previous identity certificate, a newcomer like Yi Tuan, it is estimated that a new certificate will be distributed later, as long as there are more than three people with official status as a guarantee, there is no guarantee to pay a lot of money.
Regarding this, Yi Tuan suddenly thought that Otis and Louise don't have identity certificates yet, Otis has no way to go out, but Louise just went out to buy something, what if she misses it? "Sister Louise hasn't come back yet, what should I do?" Yi Tuan said worriedly, "Didn't you say that no one should be missing?" ā
"It's too late to go out and look for it now, and the census team will definitely be here soon." Amy wasn't too worried, "It is estimated that the whole city knows that there is a census, except for us ordinary people, it is inevitable that those who open shops and do business, it is estimated that everyone on the street will know, Louise will definitely hear it, and she will come back when the time comes." ā
"yes." Another person helped, "She's really, she's obviously a maid, she doesn't report to you wherever she goes, and she spends your money, young master, it's not like it at all, and it's not convenient to find someone." ā
Yi Tuan laughed dryly, it is estimated that Louise is unwilling, she is obviously a princess, but she has to be forcibly called a maid, no one is happy, and it is really difficult for her.
After a while, the search team arrived at the street where Yi Tuan was located, and the out-of-town people who lived in the courtyard also came back one after another, everyone was ready to accept the inquiry, Yi Tuan put on coarse cloth clothes and hoods, his white hair was tied behind his head and covered tightly with his hoods, and his face was also coated with some dirty plaster, he looked like a dirty child, nothing special.
Most of the others wore hoods in order not to make Yi Tuan look too conspicuous, especially women, so that others thought it was the habit of the family when they saw it.
"Knock knock." There was another knock at the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." Hans hurriedly went to open the door, and then he saw a group of people standing at the door, dressed very decently, at least in this city.
Hans said obediently, the census team has been so high-grade since he hasn't returned to the city for a few years, especially the long-haired man led by him, who is very handsome and has a good temperament.
Hans didn't know the lord of the castle, so he didn't know that this was the Finks.
"Please come in, please come in, adults please come in." Hans said respectfully.
"Is all your family here?" Finks glanced at the people in the courtyard, it was full of ten or twenty people, all dressed in ordinary clothes, many with hoods, if it were usual, he must have thought that it was the family's habit, but now he was more and more suspicious that what was written in the letter was true, it was really too suspicious, it was for a certain person to cover up, right?
"There are still two people who are not there, one has been out of the city for many days and has not returned, and the other has gone out to buy something, and I don't know why I haven't returned yet, but don't worry, we will take her to register when she comes back!" Hans replied honestly that it was easy to get into trouble by playing tricks, so it was better to be honest.
"Out of town? What to do out of town? "Finks wonders, now everyone is running to the city, what are they doing out of the city, and it's still a few days.
Hans shook his head, "It seems that we are going to do something, we don't know very well, we met on the road, and we came here together." ā
"What about the other one, the people on the street should have also received the news, why haven't they come back yet?"
"We're curious, too." Hans scratched his head.
Finks didn't continue to ask, he looked at everyone and said, "Take out the identity badge and take off the hood, there are a lot of outsiders in the city recently, and some fugitives wanted by the City Lord's Mansion have also slipped in, we have to check." ā
Yi Tuan sighed in his heart, he even had to check his appearance, how good is this, but if he doesn't open it, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so he can only try his luck.
Everyone lifted their hoods, held identity tags in their hands, and stood nervously for Finks and the others to check.
Yi Tuan lifted his hood to reveal his white hair, and then stood aside with his head slightly bowed, he didn't have an identity tag, and he would definitely be questioned later.
When Yi Tuan lifted his hood, he attracted the attention of Finks and the others, and several people secretly exchanged a look, white hair, it can't be this person, right? It seems that Shangzi is a child, which is consistent with the description.
"Where's your badge?" Finks walked up to Yi Tuan, "Raise your head." ā
Yi Tuan could only raise his head hard, everyone was really sure that he was the queen of the Rodman Empire this time, with white hair, purple eyes, he looked very young, even if his face was stained with plaster, he couldn't hide his specialness, compared with the people around him who were so thin that their hair was yellow, Yi Tuan looked too healthy.
The skin on the neck and nape of the neck can be seen to be very fair and beautiful, with smooth hair, full cheeks and forehead, and beautiful big purple eyes that are shining with water, and it looks a little pitiful.
"My lord, this young man is a good man we met on the road, and we can vouch for him." Hans hurriedly said.
"Well...... Finks looked at the group again, "what city are you from?" He asked tentatively.
Yi Tuan's heart was pounding, as if the people here didn't know what he looked like, it was really good that the news was blocked, otherwise he would have to die now without a place to be buried.
"IāI can't name me, I'm here with my grandfather and my maid." Let Yi Tuan personally admit that he can't do Otis and his so-called partnership, and he is a grandfather.
Everyone in the courtyard was slightly stunned, grandpa? Aren't they husband and wife?
"Grandpa?"
"Well, he went out of the city for something, and he didn't say what it was, so he asked me to wait here obediently." Yi Tuan's voice is soft and glutinous, very good.
"And what about your maid?"
"She went out to buy something and hasn't come back yet."
Finks nodded, it seems that most of the woman in question is the so-called maid, but he can't startle the snake first, he took out the book and registered it for Yi Tuan, "I can see that you are a serious person, there are so many people here to vouch for you, the identity certificate will be issued to you, your maid and grandfather I will also open it, you tell them what they look like, and the name will also be sued to me." ā
Yi Tuan didn't expect to pass the test so easily, so he hurriedly reported his name and the names of two other people, of course, his own name was a fake name, with different homophones.
Finks gave Yi Tuan an identification card on the spot, then registered the height and basic appearance of Otis and Louise, and told everyone to keep to themselves and abide by the rules of the city, and then left happily.
Looking at the reclosed door Yi Tuan breathed a sigh of relief, great, smooth lƬ passed, and the identity certificates of Otis and Louise were also smoothed down, he was really lucky.
Out of the courtyard and turned a corner, Finks and the others couldn't believe what they had just seen, that was really the queen of the Rodman Empire? Looks like a child, really a queen? It's strange that a queen gets along so well with ordinary civilians, but her appearance is the same as in the description, and she doesn't look arrogant at all, she is not a small one, and she looks harmless to people and animals.
"Lord Finks, he must be right, exactly as described!"
"Yes, he knows at a glance that he has never suffered hardship, and the mud on his face is deliberately smeared."
"What's next?"
"Don't worry, everyone calm down, people are in that yard, and they won't be able to run away." Finks asked two of his subordinates to take some people to guard nearby, one was to watch Yi Tuan, the other was to protect him and not let him have an accident, and the third was to arrest people, arrest Yi Tuan's maid Louise, as long as there were suspicious people near the courtyard, immediately arrest them.
"The woman hasn't come back yet, she must have done it on purpose, probably because she was afraid of being involved." Finks narrowed his eyes, he picked up the registration book and looked at it again, "Just search according to this, arrest all the women who meet the requirements for me, and let Alberta and a few of their guards recognize them one by one, I don't believe I can't find it!" ā
"Yes!"
"Let out the rumors, just say that we have arrested a vicious fugitive here and lured her to the bait!" Finks was afraid that the other party's disguise would affect the search, so he came up with such an idea.
"Yes!"
