Both of them were very sure of themselves, and when they returned to the county office, the two of them went to see Zhou Chengru together.

Zhou Chengru hurriedly came out of the inner hall, and when he saw the two of them, he arched his hand, invited the two to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.

Yuan Bao'er smiled slightly, talked to him about this measurement, and said apologetically: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have bothered at this time, but the two of us are on official business, so it's not good to delay, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Zhou Chengru got up with a smile, glanced at the account book handed over, and saw that the families had not yet signed, so he said: "I have a good personal relationship with the families here, if the two trust me, they will leave this matter to me." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled slightly, "My lord has a heart, but before leaving Beijing, Shangfeng had strictly ordered that at least three people should be present to handle such matters." ”

"I have the intention to be lazy, but if I entrust this matter to the adults, I am afraid that I will go back and it will be difficult to explain to Shangfeng."

The corners of Zhou Chengru's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart, don't say that you are on the peak, even Lord Shangshu Liu's own hands are not clean, and he also said others.

However, against the two scholarly Lang Jun, Zhou Chengru did not dare to use the usual set.

He had to laugh falsely, saying that his daughter was sick and had to go back to take care of her.

Yuan Bao'er was as good as a stream, and he would leave with Wei Tang.

Back at the guest house, Yuan Bao'er said in a low voice: "He should want to make some moves." ”

Wei Tang snorted, and there was a knock on the door.

Wei Tang went over and opened the door, and then closed it again.

Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes and saw that he was holding a booklet in his hand.

Wei Tang looked through it as he walked, and when he came to him, he handed the booklet to Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er spread out the booklet, calculated it with mental arithmetic, and made sure that it matched the number at the end, and then her eyes widened in surprise, "Five hundred hectares." ”

Wei Tanghe sneered, his eyes lingering on the number after the number of lands.

His subordinates probably knew that he was unwilling to settle accounts, so he directly marked the number of people.

Nearly 1,000 people, all of whom do not have household registration.

Such a large number of displaced people gathered less than a hundred miles from Beijing.

A bad one can turn into a disaster.

And that's just one county.

Wei Tang's face was a little heavy.

Although Yuan Bao'er didn't know what he was thinking, he also knew that the situation was serious, so he said, "Let's visit a few houses tomorrow and finalize the number first." ”

Wei Tang nodded, and seeing that Yuan Bao'er also had a solemn face, he pulled the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will take you back safely." ”

Yuan Bao'er really didn't expect this, but when she heard him say this, her heart warmed.

At night, Yuan Baoer slept soundly, and suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw someone sneaking around the house, seemingly looking for something.

Yuan Baoer pressed the pillow and slowly adjusted her posture.

The man searched the room, but couldn't find what he was looking for, so he leaned over to the bed.

Yuan Bao'er bent her legs slightly and put her feet on the bed.

The man didn't know that Yuan Bao'er had woken up, and he opened the curtain and got in.

Before he could bend down, he felt a sharp pain coming from a vulnerable place.

He snorted and fell straight down.

Yuan Bao'er jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, snorting.

Wei Tang rushed in almost instantly.

He hurried to look closer, and by the night light he could see the thief who had collapsed on the ground, lying like a shrimp.

He kicked twice, and when he found the man unconscious, he stepped over him and lifted the bed net.

Yuan Bao'er curled up in a ball, shrunk in a corner, wrapped in a quilt all over her body, and only showed a pair of eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Wei Tang said in a deep voice.

Yuan Bao'er nodded timidly, and shrunk into a ball again.

Wei Tang took the night light that was placed in the corner of the room and lit the other lamps.

At this time, the messengers who lived in other rooms also rushed over.

Wei Tang glanced at the coat hanging on the hanger, told the others that it was okay, let them go back, and closed the door, but the person turned his back to the house, "Don't put on your clothes yet." ”

Yuan Bao'er shrunk into the quilt and hummed, "You pull the person away first." ”

Wei Tang twitched the corners of his mouth and dragged the person to the door like a dead dog.

Yuan Baoer jumped out of bed and took on her coat like a thief.

As soon as I fastened the buttons, I heard a crisp slap.

The man snorted and slowly woke up.

Seeing Wei Tang and Yuan Bao'er, the man's face changed.

Before he wanted to get up, the fragile place was a sharp pain, and he fell back into his despair.

Wei Tang probably knew that this person was injured there, and he suddenly remembered his shoulder fall, and couldn't help but show a complicated expression.

This junior sister of her own family is a strange girl, and if she doesn't agree with her, she is afraid that even an elephant can fall out.

Yuan Bao'er cautiously walked to a place half a foot away from the person and stood still, and said with a defensive expression: "This person was sent by Zhou Chengru?" ”

Wei Tang nodded.

They have already startled the snake, if they can't get the booklet, Zhou Chengru will definitely not give up.

He turned his head and saw her so careful, a little speechless, "If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to leave this place." ”

"It's useless to go back," Yuan Bao'er said.

It was impossible for them to give the booklet to Zhou Chengru.

Wei Tang stunned the person with one hand, then glanced at Yuan Bao'er, tied two account books around her waist, and then asked her to change into women's clothes.

He went out to give an account to the messengers.

Yuan Bao'er obediently changed into clothes, and Wei Tang came over with two messengers.

"Stay until dawn, and they'll take you back."

"What about you?"

Yuan Baoer said.

Wei Tang smiled, "I'll go to the mountains, I'm worried that Zhou Chengru will jump over the wall in a hurry and incite those people to make trouble. ”

Yuan Bao'er's eyes widened suddenly.

"He won't, will he?"

Wei Tang smiled, it was a matter of his own interests, and what was impossible.

The messenger gestured to Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er pursed her lips, remembered the booklet on her body, leaned in front of Wei Tang, and said in a low voice: "You hold on, I'll find someone to save you when I go back." ”

Wei Yan smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I still have to eat the food you sent." ”

Yuan Bao'er pouted and whispered, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know who won." ”

Wei Tang didn't argue with her, and only asked his subordinates to take her away quickly.

Yuan Baoer was worried about Zhang Dalang and muttered quietly.

Wei Tang's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he said: "Zhou Chengru only wants you and me, as long as you and I are not there, he will not do anything to them." ”

Yuan Bao'er was carrying extremely important things at this time, even if she was worried, she couldn't stay.

She nodded at Wei Tang and disappeared into the night with the messenger.

Wei Tang stood at the window and watched for a moment, until he could no longer see anyone coming, and then took the rest of the messengers to the other city gates.

In the palace, Zhou Chengru and Han Ling sat opposite each other.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and the people sent out had not returned, Zhou Chengru was completely anxious.

Han Ling saw that he had lost his manners a little, so he said, "Don't be impatient, my lord." ”

"Can I be safe?"

Han Ling's words were like gunpowder, instantly igniting Zhou Chengru's temper.
