At the end of Shen Shi, Situ Yan was sitting on a donkey cart with Uncle Feng chatting, when she heard the chief dart head calling her in front and telling her that the county seat of Xinchang was ahead. The dart team did not enter the city, but found a big car shop to rest.

Situ Yan got out of the car and said goodbye to the dart masters, "Uncles, brothers, everyone has bothered this way, thank you!" ”

"Look at what you kid said, you didn't cause us any trouble, but you helped us a lot." Although the head of the dart is a little reluctant in his heart, he also understands that there is no banquet in the world, and now it is really time to separate.

"Uncle Cai, this is ten taels of silver and a dart slip, please accept it." Situ Yan took out the silver money and dart slip prepared last night from his arms and handed them to the chief dart head together.

"Uncle, thank you. I won't send you away, let Uncle Feng send you. If you have the opportunity to go to Henan County, remember to sit in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau. Mr. Cai patted Situ Yan's shoulder on the shoulder, and motioned for Uncle Feng to take the person away.

Situ Yan saluted everyone, and was just about to turn around when he heard a young voice stop him, "Little brother, wait a minute." ”

A dart master walked out of the crowd, it was the one Situ Yan had treated before, the person who came blushed, stuffed a cloth bag into Situ Yan's hand, didn't say what it was, turned around and went back.

"This stubborn boy, okay, this is a thank you gift from him, you just have to accept it, you don't have to be polite to him." Mr. Cai gave the man a punch, and smiled and persuaded Situ Yan to accept the cloth bag.

"Then thank you to the eldest brother, and the younger brother will accept it." Situ Yan knew that since they were sincerely sent, she accepted it and counted the wishes of others who wanted to repay their kindness.

Uncle Feng walked in front, Situ Yan glanced at everyone again, turned around and never looked back, she didn't look again, because these people are just passers-by in her life, maybe there will be a fate to see you again in the future, but now is not the time to drag mud and water.

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, Situ Yan and Uncle Feng saw the county seat of Xinchang, Xinchang County is an inferior county, much worse than Henan County, and the streets are full of poor people and beggars in rags, it seems that the life of the people here is even worse than the previous county seat.

The two of them showed the officers and soldiers the road guide in front of the city gate and paid the "head money" (door tax), and then they safely entered the county seat of Xinchang, followed the South Street all the way to the north, and found an inn on the East Street.

Entering the room, Uncle Feng instructed a few more words, "Boy, this inn is open on East Street, there are few bastards on this street, and the people are not so mixed, the whole street belongs to this store for the longest time, I have also lived with the head of the dart before, you can live with peace of mind, and when the things are completed, let the shopkeeper send a guy to help you send it to the house, Uncle will go back, remember to come to Weiyuan Dart Bureau to see if you have time." ”

Situ Yan's eyes were a little red, she gritted her teeth so that the tears didn't flow, and she took a hard breath before she could speak, "Uncle Feng, I have to take care of you all the way, and the kid has nothing to thank, this is a pack of 'Jinchuang Medicine' made by the kid himself, and it's not a good thing, don't dislike it." ”

Situ Yan took out a small medicine bag from the back basket, which was prepared late, it should be a thank you gift, and it was also a fate.

"You kid, this isn't to make your uncle feel uncomfortable, okay, then I'll take it. Remember, be careful! He patted Situ Yan on the shoulder again, said nothing else, and turned to leave.

Situ Yan settled down and didn't send it out, but just clasped her fists and saluted Uncle Feng's back, and secretly said in her heart, "Uncle Feng take care!" There will be a period later! ”

Sent Uncle Feng away, opened the cloth bag sent by others, inside was a new cyan cheesecloth, not a cloth head, it was seen that it was specially planted in the cloth shop, it was obvious that this person was attentive, Situ Yan's heart warmed, it seems that this world is not all bad people, good people still have good rewards. The cloth bag was re-wrapped and put into the ring. After dinner, I took a shower and rested.

Early the next morning, she changed her clothes, took off her cotton clothes, changed them into autumn clothes, went to the innkeeper again, exchanged 1 tael of silver for 1 copper coin (1000 Wen), and tied the hemp rope that stringed the money, and then took out 422 copper coins from the ring and put them into a cloth bag, which she sewed with rags from the embroidery village. Then put 10 cents in your arms.

Prepare these, and also pack the documents and house deeds that Li Youzhu gave him, put the winter clothes he took off, and the broken silver on his body into the ancient ring, leaving only the cloth bag and a few black flour cakes in the back basket.

The guy who called the inn inquired about the tooth shop in Xinchang County, and the person in the county order, this guy was also sincere, and he got a reward of 10 Wen and happily poured everything he heard to Situ Yan.

The tooth shop of Xinchang County is just east of this inn, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk. And the county order is quite honest, and the reputation is not bad, but the county and the main book are two greedy, so the people have no good impression of the county government, whether they have money or not, even if they encounter problems, they are not willing to go to the county government to solve it, lest the matter is not sorted out, and a lot of money will be defrauded.

This county order is not quite in line with Situ Yan's intentions, if the person is too upright, she wants to use the surname Situ to run the household book, I am afraid it will be difficult, after all, the Situ family in Lu'an County is given the crime of collaborating with the enemy, if it is a corrupt official, this matter is easier to do, as the saying goes, "When the water is clear, there is no fish!" "It seems that her affairs have to start from this county or the chief bookkeeper.

After sending the guy out, he looked in the mirror again, and began to disguise himself again, painted his face darker and yellower, and then dotted some pockmarks, and ripped his hair apart, tore his clothes twice, narrowed his eyes smaller, painted his mouth bigger, and painted his nails black.

The tooth shop is a storefront, and there are no people in it, except for a steward, that is, two tooth nephews and a guy. Situ Yan said what he intended to do with the steward, and looked at the steward, this person's eyes flashed, his demeanor was light, and he was not a good person at first glance, but Situ Yan was trying to use this kind of person at this time, and he was quite satisfied with it.

The steward didn't look down on this ugly boy in his heart, seeing the tattered clothes Situ Yan was wearing, he was reluctant to receive it, but Situ Yan took out a hundred yuan, so he casually pointed to a tooth and took her to the county government to do business.

On the way, Situ Yan also deliberately observed the words and deeds of the beggars for a while, and saw that she was only a little stronger than them, and more shabby than the poor, and she was even more relaxed about her disguise. And the accompanying tooth is also a little absent-minded, thinking that this trip is afraid that there is no oil and water, and he is not even bothered to speak.

The closer to the county office, the fewer people passing by, which shows that what the guys at the inn said are true. When I arrived at the main gate of the county government, there was only one door guarding the door, and I glanced at Situ Yan with squinted eyes, and saw that it was a poor boy, who was in tatters, and couldn't help frowning, staring at a pair of eyes, and scolding to drive people away, "Where did the poor boy come from, while playing, I don't look at what kind of place this is." Get out! If you don't go and catch you, go and play the board. ”

Situ Yan sighed, this dog fights people, there are all dynasties and generations, and he doesn't argue with this kind of person, he dodged and let the tooth behind him to the front, and then took out 10 yuan from his arms and handed it to Menzi, "This big brother, you can do a good job, I have something to do with the master bookkeeper, you pass it on, there is nothing to be filial to the kid, this means something, please have a cup of tea." ”

Menzi checked 10 yuan, and there was a smile on his face immediately, his monthly money this month was only 500 yuan, and he was written to death by the mother-in-law at home, and even drank wine on weekdays to see the mother-in-law's face, although the 10 money is not much, but it is also the reality of this poor boy, and he glanced at the tooth again, he still knows this person, and he has not gone to the county government to do things. Look at this kid is also a fool, he doesn't look for the county order if he has something, but he looks for the master book, and he didn't remind him, it seems that this kid doesn't have any oil and water, anyway, it's not his business, this 10 wen money is also a rumor money, if you give another 10 wen, remind him that a sentence can be done, but look at this kid's appearance, I'm afraid I can't take it out, forget it, "Okay, which village are you from, what's your name, this official man is very busy, and I'll go back to the master book later, if you ask, I'd better go back first, so as not to delay my efforts?" ”

"It's this reason, the kid's name is Situ Yan, the adults in the family are gone, and they are here to run the household register." Situ Yan didn't want to talk too much about specific things, anyway, when she went in, the people inside still had to ask again.

"Okay, you can wait a while. Don't get in the way, lest the county magistrate come back and rush in a while. ”

"Yes" Situ Yan moved a few steps to the door, still secretly rejoicing in her heart, the upright county magistrate is not there, it is not a good thing, it seems that things are not difficult to do. Yayu didn't say much, chatted with Menzi for a few more words, and waited beside Situ Yan.

Menzi looked at it a few more times, and saw that this kid really didn't look like a troublemaker, and there was a tooth boy looking at it, so he turned around and entered the county government with confidence. Situ Yan waited for about two quarters of an hour before seeing the man retreat.

"Alright, I'll take you inside, don't look around when you go in." The door led the way, and his mouth was babbling.

Situ Yan didn't reply, just followed behind with her head down, pretending to be obedient. Menzi looked back a few times, and saw that the poor boy lowered his head and followed closely behind, and did not look up indiscriminately, and was very satisfied. chatting with Yayu all the way, first passed through the outer courtyard yatang, entered the second courtyard, and came to the door of an east wing, the door knocked on the door, and a male voice came from inside, "Come in." It sounded like he was in his forties, a little hoarse and a little sharp, obviously the result of excessive drinking.

"Alright, go in! You know what to say, I still have to go to the front. Menzi said this to Ya Yu, and the two looked at each other before turning and leaving.

In fact, the tooth lover couldn't help at all in this matter, but if he didn't look for it, it would be inconsistent with the law, so Situ Yan stubbornly let the tooth line pull out another layer of skin. I followed Ya Yu into the house, the room was a little dark, it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see clearly for a while, so I blinked my eyes twice to get used to it.
