Stacks of rosters were piled up on the table.

Sun Shilang said with a smile: "Dadu Governor, you take your time, and the lower officials will not bother." ”

Governor Luo nodded with a smile: "Lord Sun, please take care of yourself." ”

After Sun Shilang left, Governor Luo put away his smile and stared at the stack of rosters with his eyes flickering.

These rosters are divided into five cities, south, east, west, and north, and each region is divided into districts.

Governor Luo was silent for a moment, then reached out and picked up a roster and flipped through it.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the year of Wuchen, whenever a woman born at this hour was scanned, she wrote it down in black and white.

And every name written on the blank paper is a girl who has just turned seventeen.

When he wrote these names, Luo Dadudu's mood was heavy, and when he picked up the Xicheng scroll and opened the volume where Luo's mansion was located, he saw that Luo Sheng's birthday was written on it, which was the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the Wuchen year.

Governor Luo stared at the row of small characters, and his chest was full of blood.

I don't know how long it took, he silently pressed the roster under several rosters, picked up the roster he had flipped through earlier and continued to look at it.

Time passed little by little, and the rosters that had been looked through were getting thicker and thicker, and there were more rosters that had not been flipped through.

Sun Shilang walked in and said with a smile: "Governor, it's noon, let's take a break and have a meal together." ”

Governor Luo hesitated for a moment, and closed the open roster: "It's okay, my eyes are dry." ”

Sun Shilang swept the roster on the table and smacked his tongue secretly.

Governor Luo is really not scared, if he looks at so many rosters, his head will be big.

Considering the identity of Governor Luo, it was not easy to make do in the yamen, so Sun Shilang took the governor of Luo to the restaurant near the yamen.

It was the meal, and the restaurant was very lively.

Sun Shilang ate two glasses of wine, chewed the braised beef and sighed: "Speaking of which, the braised beef still has the best taste in a wine shop." ”

Although Governor Luo was depressed, he couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Lord Sun often goes to the little girl's wine shop?" ”

Sun Shilang sneered: "Go occasionally, go occasionally." ”

He wants to go often, but what about the money?

Thinking of the pricing of the black shop, Governor Luo understood Sun Shilang's embarrassed smile very much, and said with a smile: "When I'm done, invite Lord Sun to eat and drink there." ”

Sun Shilang's eyes lit up, and he thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Then thank you Dadudu." ”

Zhao Shangshu invited a meal before, but he hadn't eaten enough.

Hehe, it looks like I've had a lot of luck lately.

Thinking like this, Sun Shilang opened the conversation: "Metropolitan Governor, how can you read so many rosters, why don't you arrange a few subordinates to do it?" ”

"There are some things that the fewer people know, the better. Although there are many rosters, it can always be read in a day or two. ”

Hearing what Governor Luo said, Sun Shilang didn't ask again, raised his glass and said: "Governor Luo is really hard, the lower officials will give you a drink." ”

"It's a matter of business. I should thank Master Sun for his help. ”

The two of them exchanged polite words, and the atmosphere at the wine table was very lively.

At this time, there was a commotion outside.

"What sound?" Master Sun held the wine glass and subconsciously looked at the window.

Governor Luo put down his wine glass, frowned, and said, "It seems to be a gong." ”

Knocking on the gong?

Master Sun's heart jumped, and he hurriedly got up and leaned over the window to look out.

Governor Luo also walked over.

The two of them are in a private room on the second floor, and from the open window, you can see people running back and forth, some carrying buckets, some banging gongs, a scene of chaos.

"It looks like it's somewhere." Sun Shilang stroked his beard and said.

Governor Luo Dadu hurriedly said: "This place is quite close to the various yamen, let's go down and have a look." ”

Sun Shilang immediately echoed: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Who's house is on fire in the blue sky and daytime, it's too careless.

The two hurried out into the street, and as the crowd walked forward, they saw at a glance the place where black smoke was emitting.

Sun Shilang was stunned.

If he read it correctly, it seems to be the Household Yamen - it is really the Household Yamen!

After a short lag, Sun Shilang ran away.

Originally, it was a lively view, but I never expected that it was my own yamen that caught fire.

Governor Luo suppressed the joy in his eyes and quickly followed.

The household yamen has become a mess, and many people have poured in to fight the fire.

"What's going on?" Sun Shilang roared.

A servant said with a white face: "Lord Huiyu, it's the water on the second side, and the reason is not clear yet." ”

As soon as he heard that it was the second hall, Sun Shilang didn't care to ask too much and hurried over.

The second hall is the place where they handle their daily official business, and if it burns down, it will be a big trouble.

When he arrived there, Sun Shilang couldn't help but be stunned.

The originally solemn and majestic place was filled with black smoke and terrifying fire.

"How can this be, how can this be......" Sun Shilang muttered, completely unable to accept the fact that the office was burned.

"Not good!" Governor Luo's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the fire.

A servant hurriedly pulled Governor Luo down: "Governor, it's dangerous inside, you can't go in!" ”

Governor Luo shouted angrily: "Let go, there are important things in it!" ”

The official looked at Sun Shilang at a loss.

Sun Shilang came back to his senses and hurriedly dissuaded Governor Luo: "Governor, you can't get out of this fire, you can't be impulsive." ”

Governor Luo smiled bitterly: "Lord Sun, you know, those rosters are still inside-"

"That can't be helped, how can this happen." Sun Shilang thought about the consequences, hid his face and cried.

Seeing that Sun Shilang was crying, Governor Luo Dadu couldn't insist on rushing into the sea of fire anymore, and persuaded in turn: "Don't cry Lord Sun, the water is the most difficult to control, and this is not your responsibility......"

The news of the household yamen going to the water soon spread.

Emperor Yong'an did not meet the Hubu Shangshu who entered the palace to ask for sin, but met the governor of Luo Dadu first.

"What's going on?"

"Weichen and Sun Shilang are eating, and the household yamen is gone——"

"What about the family register?" Emperor Yong'an was too lazy to listen to irrelevant things, and asked directly.

Governor Luo Dadu looked terrified: "The place where the fire started is Ertang, which happens to be the place where Weichen checked the roster, and those rosters were burned...... Your Majesty, Weichen felt that there was something strange about the household yamen, I am afraid that someone did it on purpose! ”

Of course, Emperor Yong'an thought so, and even had a trace of suspicion about the courtiers who pleaded guilty in front of him, and after hearing this, he suppressed his suspicions for the time being, and said with a dark face: "Immediately, Jin Linwei and the Criminal Department will join forces to thoroughly investigate the matter of the household department's water transfer, and we must find out this matter to me!" ”

"The minister commands."

Governor Luo returned to the Governor's Mansion and sat down on the low couch in the study, and let out a long sigh.

For the time being, it's been fooled, and as for whether it will come to the worst in the future, let's see.

Lin Teng went to see Luo Sheng as soon as he knew about it.

"Does Miss Luo know about the water in the Yamen of the Household Department?"

Luo Sheng nodded slightly: "I know." ”

Lin Teng was silent for a moment, and said tentatively: "I heard that Ling Zun was checking the roster in the household department at that time——"

Luo Sheng smiled: "Because there is a new order, saying that he made a mistake before, and the one who really needs to be solved is the woman who was born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Wuchen year." ”

Before Lin Teng could get angry, he heard the girl in front of him write lightly: "I was born at that time." ”
