Chapter 115: Investigation

"Hey, look at this, how does it look so much like your brother's name." Wen Xiu smiled and pointed to an open deed book, and his index finger dotted on a line of small characters, "Chen Zihao, Chen Zijing, and Chen Xiangsheng...... There are so many Chen family members! ”

Chen Zixiu's face was gloomy, his eyes were dark, he pursed his lips, and said coldly: "Less than two hundred miles further, I arrived in Jidong County, which is under the jurisdiction of Ji'an Prefecture, where my Chen family's home is located. The surname Chen is a big family here, and it is not surprising that the landlord's surname is Chen. "The place where they are now is only a few dozen miles away from the next village, Chenjia Village. What's so strange about the people surnamed Chen coming here to buy land. Moreover, across a stream, there is also a division of the east of the river and the west of the river.

Wen Xiu scratched her head, pushed the deed book away with disinterest, and muttered: "Why don't I think you should be sent here for this matter, who knows if you will cover it up for the sake of an ancestor." ”

"You-" Chen Zixiu endured his anger, thinking that the landlords of these newly opened fields were indeed mostly surnamed Chen, and maybe when they arrived in Fucheng, the situation was even more serious! Moreover, the ancestral house of the Chen family is near the palace city, and it will not be clean with the momentum of the Hou Mansion, will he really report all these things to the emperor truthfully? Not to mention that Wen An (embroidery) didn't believe it, he himself was not sure, it was really hard to refute, so he had to press down the lampshade angrily and continue to copy it.

Wen Xiu yawned and went to sleep. Now they basically have a reversed schedule day and night, stealing books is generally after the child, this will be almost dawn, do not make up for a sleep, and when they return the booklets, they will not be in good spirits.

The Dog Emperor didn't send two more people, just the few secret guards on the roof, what could they do.

Although they were almost undiscovered along the way, the locals only regarded them as ordinary travelers, returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, and the previously copied booklet was also brought back to the capital by the secret guards in two parts, but there were unforeseen circumstances. On this day, he stole to the county government of Chenxi County, because the Yali Treasury was well defended, and Wen Xiu squatted for two days before he found a chance to start, and it was already the second half of the night, not far from dawn, and there were more things that needed to be checked and transcribed, and it was impossible to return the booklet on time. They had no choice but to follow the previous discussion, took a blank government booklet that was uniformly distributed to the localities, filled in a few words on the blue cover according to the real booklet, and tried to pass the test in a faint way, and then changed it back the next day after it was copied.

I don't want to, the fake is put back, but it's just a good death, and there happened to be a land sale that needed to be logged in that day, and it was the new land that was involved. After checking it, he actually copied out a fake booklet, and he couldn't help but be shocked!

This matter soon alarmed the county magistrate, and the county magistrate instructed his henchmen to rummage carefully and not to forget which corner they were left in, and searched two or three times, but to no avail, everyone was in a bad mood, and the first thing that came to mind was: It's broken! It is estimated that he was targeted, and the matter was revealed!

So, the county magistrate, who couldn't make up his mind, quickly stabbed him up and reported to his boss, the prefect.

Wen Xiu and Chen Zixiu lay on the edge of the window and looked at the groups of arrogant and rude officers and soldiers with weapons below, shouting and pushing loudly, and the pedestrians who couldn't avoid it on the street were pushed aside, and were blocked by the officers and soldiers asking what they wanted. The hearts of the two of them sank - something bad happened!

It is close to the state capital, but it is only a hundred miles, and the fast horse goes back and forth in one day.

And they have just finished copying it, and they are still waiting to return the original book in the evening! Now it seems that the fake brochure has been discovered?

"Let's go, there's no need to pay it back. It's better for me to take this book back to the capital first, which can be regarded as evidence, lest they burn the others to death without proof. Do you return to your hometown to worship your ancestors? Wen Xiu threw the delicate ball in her hand and said casually.

Chen Zixiu was silent and said, "Let the secret guard leave with the real booklet and the recently copied batch of booklets, and you go to Ji'an Mansion with me." ”

"Why?" Embroidery fried hair.

"Don't you want to know what good things the prefect has in his house?" Chen Zixiu squinted at him, with a light smile on his lips and a seductive face.

Wen Xiu struggled inwardly and nodded heavily!

"I'll go!" Depend on! After selling so much fertile land, the money went into the private treasury, and the prefect's family must be fat!

Fortunately, the people who came here were not stupid, they had more or less learned the local language, and in addition, they had stayed in more than a dozen villages, counties and towns for a long time, and they had also learned their eating habits and local accents.

The two men with the booklet were far away from the city wall, so they quickly took off the camouflage of the farmer carrying the burden, and rushed directly to the direction of the capital by the mountain road, intending to buy horses and hurry to the next market. And Chen Zixiu and his party, who rode out of the city in a carriage, were not so lucky.

β€œzhanzhu! What the hell! The soldiers defending the city stopped them fiercely.

"Returning to my hometown to visit relatives." Tang Shishi, the driver of the car, said timidly, and carefully stuffed two silver beans into the city guard.

"Lift the curtain and check! Who was in the car! The soldier took the money, but did not let him go, and stepped forward to lift the curtain.

"Back to the official, this is my son-in-law, and there is a maid." Tang Shishi said with a smile.

"Where did it come from? Where to go? Hand over the name! The soldier patted the wall of the car.

Chen Zixiu looked high, opened the folding fan with a brush, and shook it a few times, his face full of impatience.

The maid Wen'an (embroidered) immediately flatteringly beat his legs and loosened his bones, whispered comfort, and glared at the soldier coquettishly. Wang Ying, who was dressed as a small servant, hurriedly turned over his baggage, took out a few neatly folded road guides and names, carefully handed them to the soldiers, and said flatteringly: "Official, the road guides and names are all here." My son-in-law is a side branch of the Marquis of Jing'an, because of the next year's scientific examination, I want to take advantage of this to return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and ask my ancestors to bless the young master's high school! ”

As soon as the soldier heard that it was from the Marquis of Jing'an, even if it was a side branch, it was not something he could exonerate, his attitude was immediately a little respectful, and he took the name and the guide with a smile on his face, looked at it carefully, confirmed that it was true, and hurriedly returned it with both hands. (The emperor found someone to open it, can it be true ==) "It turned out to be Young Master Chen." Disrespectful and disrespectful. The little one wishes the young master high school next year! ”

"Promise your good words." Chen Zixiu lifted his chin proudly. Wang Ying hurriedly took out a five-dollar broken silver from his purse and stuffed it to the other party.

The carriage went on at a hurry, passing through the city gates, and was not yet enough, when it was called to stop.

"It's endless! Still don't let people go? "The delicate maid Wen An is finally going crazy." I can't make it to Fucheng tonight, so I'll go back to the master to complain! ”

"The prefect has an order, passers-by must be strictly checked!" A deep voice came from behind. "Please Chen Gongzi get out of the car!"
