Song Jiu agreed to help her, but it was not for nothing, how can there be a free lunch in the world. But he didn't say what it was, just that people would know when the time came.

After thinking about it, Rong Yun said that she could do whatever she wanted, as long as she could send Jiang Yao away safely, she would live a stable life for the rest of her life.

When she opened this mouth to ask Song Jiu, she had already imagined a lot. Song Jiu responded in one bite before, although she was happy, but her heart was not very steady, but now when she heard Song Jiu say this, she was immediately relieved.

"Don't be in a hurry yet, wait until you go back and ask your daughter. It just so happens that you should think about it yourself, you must know that what I asked you to do may not be simple, and it may be possible to put your life into it. Song Jiu said very plainly.

Rong Yun smiled bitterly and said that if it was really like that, she would admit it.

Moreover, she was already carrying human life herself. If someone accuses her, such as Jiang Cheng, she still can't escape a dead word. In that case, she might as well give it a go.

Perhaps, there is still a way to live.

"Fangzheng, you've figured it out." Song Jiu reminded again.

As soon as the words fell, both of them caught a glimpse of the evening song coming this way, looked at each other and did not mention it again.

"Wake up."

"Hmm."

"Morning, evening." Rong Yun greeted with a smile.

Wan Ge responded politely, and seeing that their meals were almost done, she went out to ask Zhao Zhuang to eat.

I have to come so early every day, and I don't have time to eat breakfast. It's fine for a day or two, but it's not good for a long time. It's because they sing in the morning and evening, and they will make more when they make breakfast.

After eating, Zhao Zhuang told Song Jiu that the people in the upper government had begun to ask the people in the village to pack up their things, and they would gather at the entrance of the village and set off half a month later.

Now those who can afford twelve taels of silver have already hurried to hand over the silver and mark their names.

"This year is a little different, in previous years, it was directly handed over to the village chief, but this year, the government specially sent someone to set up a table at the entrance of the village to guard it. Everyday"

After the harvest is over, there will be people who will come to compare one village by one, and it can be said that this year is much stricter than in previous years. If you want to give some money to bribe the village chief, or if you want to take advantage of the loophole, there is no chance.

Anyway, he asked Song Jiu to take the time to go back and hand over the silver earlier, so as not to cause any accidents in the future.

"Thanks, brother."

"Let's talk about this, you just have to remember this anyway."

Originally, Song Jiu was going to go to the rouge shop to guard today, but now that he heard the news from Zhao Zhuang, he naturally went back to deal with this matter first.

When the two of them spoke, they didn't shy away from anyone, and they heard it in the evening. Seeing that Song Jiu had taken the silver and was about to leave, he asked him, "Are you going back to the village now?" ”

"Well, it's a thing to finish this earlier."

Wange wanted to go back with him.

In the village, she can go to Liu Fang or Du Chun to watch the excitement in her spare time. Enough to move to town, she didn't have anyone to talk to.

hesitated, and finally stopped people when Song Jiu had already walked out, and asked if they could go back together.

"Want to go back?"

"Yes." Wan Ge said that she hadn't been back for a few days, and she thought about Du Chun and Liu Fang, especially Liu Fang, who was afraid that she would have to give birth soon.

Song Jiu didn't say anything immediately, and only said okay after a while.

He didn't really want the evening song to be with him in his heart, the most important thing was that she was not very convenient now. The way back to the village is not far, but it is not close. Anyway, it's definitely not okay to go, so you have to be tired of the evening song. And now I have a big belly, and I can't carry it.

As for the ox cart ride, it seems to be a little shaky again. It was also because of these reasons that he didn't approve of going back with the evening song.

Just looking into the Venerable Master's eyes, looking at her expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

He knew that there was no one to talk to in Wan Ge here, and he was busy these days, so he didn't have much time to spend with her. It's probably a little stuffy.

Look, when he saw the happy and happy appearance of his promiser, how could he refuse. It's a big deal, let Uncle Ma drive the cow slower and walk slowly. I am not in a hurry right and am just right.

The two of them took an ox cart back to the village slowly, and the evening song was full of interest along the way, and they felt cordial to see everything.

seems to be infected by her emotions, and Song Jiu also rarely feels relaxed looking at this familiar road.

Today's sky is cloudy, there is no sun, and there is a cool breeze sweeping from time to time. Song Jiu simply rested on the cart with his arms on his arms to relax.

Since he got the news, he has been busy almost every day, especially after this, almost always going out early in the morning and returning late in the evening. Not to mention resting, even if you take a lazy nap, there is no chance.

Now that I can rest for a while, the taste is not uncomfortable.

Because of taking care of Wan Ge's body, the ox cart walked almost twice as slowly as usual. Originally, they had set off quite early, but by the time they arrived in the village, it was already half of the morning.

The two of them got off the ox cart, and they didn't look for it, so they saw the people in the government that Zhao Zhuang said.

The man was wearing a black official robe, wearing an official hat and lying lazily on a chair, and he didn't know whether he was sleeping or what.

There was a small wooden table in front of him, and I don't know from which house it had been brought from, and there was a corner missing from it. There was paper and pen on the wooden table, which was specially written down who had paid the money, so that it would be easy to reconcile the accounts later.

The two of them did not delay, and stepped forward to pay with the silver.

The man yawned and sat up, counting the money. Then he took the pen and asked them their names and where they lived, and wrote them down next to each other on a piece of paper.

"Alright." When he had finished writing, the man put the pen down and lay back in his chair, not to mention how lazy he looked.

But also, twelve taels of silver is not a small amount, and you can marry several daughters-in-law in some poor ravines. They're a lot better here, but it's not like they can take it.

Just when Song Jiu glanced at it, there were probably only a dozen people on that page. You must know that there are not more than 100 households in their village, and there are dozens of them.

But that's not his concern.

After the business was done, the two of them were not busy, so Song Jiu went to find Du Chun with the evening song.

Since Zhao Zhuang and Song Jiu joined forces, every day everyone has left early and returned late. The fish was not hunted, the boat and fishing nets were rented to other people in the village, and the work at home fell on Du Chun, thanks to the recent farming, and there was not much land at home, otherwise Du Chun might not be able to be busy.

The two were not at home when they went to find someone, and the child next door said that he went to the field to pull grass as soon as it was dawn.

Hearing this, the two of them turned around and prepared to go to Liu Fang and them, and when they passed by the alley outside their house, Wan Ge stopped on a whim and said to go home and have a look. I haven't been back for a few days, and I don't know what it's like at home.

"What can it be, isn't it the same as when you left?" At most, it's a layer of dust.

"......" Wan Ge looked at him expressionlessly, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, he had been chatting to death this day.

Yes, I'll go back. Song Jiu shut up and went as she pleased.

The courtyard door and the door of the house seemed to be the same as when they left, and they were well closed.

It's just that when they unlock the door and go in, they find that something is wrong.

The rest of the land was covered with ash, but the tables and stools were clean, and the oil lamps that had been put away were on the table.

The two looked at each other, then opened the door to the back room. But I saw that the folded bedding was neatly spread on the wooden bed.

When I went to the stove room again, I found that the contents were obviously used. Everything that had been put away had been taken out, and half of the firewood that had been piled up was missing, not to mention the pots and pans, which had obvious signs of being used.

"It seems that our family has a 'guest'." Song Jiu's face was very bad, and he couldn't be happy if someone took advantage of it for some reason.

Wan Ge turned around in the stove room, and his face was equally ugly.

This courtyard has another meaning to her, even if they don't live there, it won't be someone else's turn to live there.

"What now, do you want to report to the officer?"

"Let's see if there's anything missing. And then I will say what the reporter said. "Probably because he was a mountain bandit leader in his predecessor, and he had instinctive resistance to those officials.

He felt that instead of going to the group of people who only took money and did things but dragged on for a long time without results, it was better for him to come in person.

Wan Ge carefully cleared the things in the house, while Song Jiu looked outside. Eventually, it was found that the window had been clearly pried open. I think that's how the other party entered the house.

After a while, the evening song reckoning will come back and tell him that there is nothing missing at home. It seems that the other party is just borrowing from them.

Of course, they had already taken away all the valuable things when they moved, and most of the things they left behind were like chopsticks and some quilts. The other party just wants to steal, not to mention that those things can be sold for a few dollars, even if they move out, it is inconvenient.

I didn't lose anything, but there were people in the house. If this is reported to the official, the people in the government will probably not accept it.

Song Jiu said that he was not in a hurry, and he was clean from the table without a little ash, which means that the thief had rested here recently.

It is used to make the bed, wipe the table, and turn things out of the stove. After such a long time, Song Jiu didn't believe that the other party was just staying for a day or two, and the other party would definitely come.

When the time comes, he will squat for two days, and he will not be able to squat without believing it.

He wanted to see who was so bold as to pry his door.

"Then call Zhao Zhuang and them then." Evening song proposed.

They don't know what kind of person the other party is now, whether it is one person or several people, call Zhao Zhuang and them, the more people there are, the less danger there is.

Anyway, don't act rashly.

In order to lower the vigilance of the other party and not arouse suspicion. The two of them put what they had just moved back into place. Then close the doors and windows, and lock the locks so that it looks like no one has returned.

After that, they went to Chen Kui's house.
