Chapter 416: Worst Outcome
() "The Seven Kings suddenly asked for marriage at the court meeting today, how could he be an ordinary person when he said Du Mei!" Chu Lin hit the horse and ran.
"Is it really not a trap?" Zhao Ji'an rode up and caught up, he hadn't woken up from the fright just now.
"What if it's a trap, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to figure it out!" Chu Lin clenched his back molars.
The two of them hurried up, and before they arrived at the camp to patrol the capital, they saw a person next to the camp gate, wearing a scarlet Suzhou embroidered gown, his hair was like splashing ink, and his face was like white jade.
Chu Lin didn't need to guess, he knew that the person who came was Murong Xi, his capital tabloid's intelligence network was very powerful, at this time, he had already had lunch, and two or three hours had passed since the early dynasty, and it was not strange that he came to him when he knew what happened in the court.
"Can you do it? I only went back to Yunnan for a few days, and Amei has been involved in danger many times! When he came to him, Murong Xi said very dissatisfied.
Although he was not in Jiangling City, the news was not missing at all, and when he knew that Du Mei went to the Hongmen banquet in the Shu Palace, he was immediately frightened and rushed back from Dian Prefecture day and night. If Chu Lin hadn't appeared in time that day, Yan Mo would probably have robbed him.
"What do you know? Go in and say. Chu Lin jumped off the horse, threw the reins to Zhao Ji'an, calmly faced, and quickly stepped into the Beijing patrol camp.
When Murong Xi saw him say this, he thought that he was taking care of the soldiers coming and going next to him, so he temporarily suppressed the conversation and followed him in, and the gatekeeper who had stopped him saw Chu Lin waving his hand, so he didn't continue to stop him.
"King Yan, you're back." Song Shaohuai had obviously also gotten the news and was hovering in front of his barracks.
"Let's go in and talk." Chu Lin said in a low voice.
Zhao Ji'an found a few henchmen to stay outside, and he turned around again before pushing the door in.
"The Du Mei that the Seventh Prince said in his mouth is not necessarily the Du Mei we know, after all, there are many people with the same name and surname." Chu Lin ran all the way, calmed down a little, and analyzed carefully.
"Pingping is often an alternate official from other places, the third daughter of the county order, she has no special background, just because she is like a dead person, do you think the king of Shu will give the position of the only concubine to this kind of person who will not bring him any benefits!" Murong Xi stood in the room with his hands in his hands, not believing it at all.
"It stands to reason that Du Mei's household registration documents should be in Du Jiagou's own home, how can it be in Du Jue's name?" Song Shaohuai asked this most puzzling question.
"This is going to ask your household department, Du Mei is a seven-grade widow, if her household registration is moved, how can the household department not know?" If Murong Xi hadn't been disgusted with going to the household department to steal documents, he wouldn't have come to Chu Lin.
"Shaohuai, you are familiar with Qian Yi, the household servant, hurry up and check the household registration file! In addition, check that Du Jue well, see what he is from, and what he has with the Seven Kings! Chu Lin thought about it and arranged.
"Okay, I'll go." Song Shaohuai gave up his hand and went out.
"For the rest, we have to verify how many people the population of Du Jue's family is, and whether the documents of Du Mei's family have been tampered with." Chu Lin twisted his eyebrows and said.
"If you want to fight, kill, coerce and intimidate, I'll do it, you want to go to your aunt's house to read the paperwork." Murong Xi pulled the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.
"With the news, I'll look for you in the Humble Garden." At this time, it is related to Du Mei's lifelong happiness, these two men
has abandoned the past suspicions and fought side by side against the enemy.
"It's a deal!" Murong Xi didn't linger and turned to leave.
"Ji'an, you wait here for Shaohuai's news, I'll go find Shen Zhanghua." After Chu Lin finished speaking, he entered the room and changed into an ordinary blue robe, and rode out of the Beijing patrol camp.
Shen Zhanghua was shocked when he heard the news, in the Dashun Dynasty, only civilians and above have household registration, and household registration management has always been very strict, except for weddings and funerals, as long as the succession may change the documents, and the succession requirements are very strict, not only the roster in the hands of the patriarch of the clan must be changed, but also the parents of both sides must go to the county government to sign and draw the pledge before counting.
It stands to reason that Du Mei's household registration documents should be in the hands of her mother Xu, and Xu will not pass Du Mei to others even if she is killed, so in this way, Du Mei's household registration documents are either forged or stolen, besides, it is a coincidence that the successor is the county order of Qinghe County, which must have a hidden secret!
"Now, we can only go to see if Du Mei's household registration is still in Dujiagou." Shen Zhanghua explained the matter in the yamen for two sentences, and then rode a horse and Chu Lin to Dujiagou.
Out of Jiangling City, the two of them galloped all the way, and to Dujiagou, it was already dark, because the villagers were busy planting seedlings, the big guys were late for dinner, they suddenly came to visit, and Du Huaibing, who was drinking porridge and resting in the courtyard, was shocked.
"Master Shen......" Du Huaibing put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly greeted him.
He just met Shen Zhanghua a few days ago, the lights in the courtyard were dim, he could still recognize him, and Chu Lin deliberately dressed plainly, and deliberately restrained his momentum and concealed his identity, he followed behind Shen Zhanghua, and Du Huaibing didn't care very much.
"Patriarch Du, I have a hundred thousand urgent matters here, please show me the Du Jiagou roster!" As soon as Shen Zhanghua sat down in the hall, he said anxiously.
"Ah, okay." Du Huaibing was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly went to get the booklet in the box.
He has lived for half his life, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings, Shen Zhanghua has been a county magistrate in Qinghe County for several years, and they have dealt with each other many times, except for the last locust plague, he has never seen him so anxious, and he thinks that something terrible has happened.
Du Huaibing just brought the booklet, Chu Lin couldn't wait to take it, spread it on the table and searched it line by line.
I saw that on the roster, the name of Du Mei, the eldest daughter behind the Xu family in the second room of the Du family, was crossed out by a crooked red line!
"What's going on!" Chu Lin's heart trembled, and there was really something wrong with the household registration documents.
"Ahh This...... This ......" Du Huaibing looked at the red line as if looking at a poisonous snake, and his face changed in fright.
You must know that Du Mei is glory and face for Du Jiagou and Du Huaibing, how could he easily remove her name from the family register!
"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Du Huaibing roared almost hysterically.
"This must have been done by someone, think about it, there have been abnormal people and things recently, and besides, I don't know if the household registration documents of the Du Mei family are still there?" Shen Zhanghua helped Du Huaibing to sit on a chair.
Yin and Du Mingtang, who were eating in the courtyard, heard that the voice of the hall was wrong, and hurriedly came in, and saw that several people in the house looked ugly, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.
"Wife, what special person has come to the family recently, what is abnormal?" Recently, every family has been busy in the fields for summer planting, either the iron general guards the door, or the elderly woman cooks at home, Du
Huai Bing put the roster at home, but it was inexplicably changed, so he had to turn his head and ask Yin.
"Nothing happened. What's wrong? Yin shook his head and asked suspiciously.
"This is a big basket, we are really confused, Master Shen knows that something happened to Dujiagou in the capital, but we are still in the dark, we don't know anything!" Du Huaibing's hand trembled and pointed out the roster to Yin.
"This ......" Yin Shi was frightened and covered his mouth suddenly.
"Think about who came to your house to change this booklet." Seeing this situation, Shen Zhanghua had to guide patiently.
"A few days ago, two guys from the Huichun Hall who collected medicinal herbs passed by my house and begged me for water to drink, and I was lighting a fire on the stove, so I asked them to wait in the courtyard for a while, could it be that these two people who killed a thousand knives slipped into my house?" Yin Shi thought left and right, and said with a sad face.
"But how did they know that our brochure was in the box? Moreover, our boxes have locks! Du Huaibing shook his head in disbelief.
"What's that going on? Could it be a ghost change! Yin was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"I'm afraid that the ghosts in the village matched your keys and gave those two guys to make them change the roster unknowingly, if you find out about their misdeeds that day, I'm afraid that even you will be harmed!" Chu Lin suppressed his throat and said in a rough voice.
"Inner ghost!" Du Huaibing and his wife glanced at each other, exchanging a kind of suddenly enlightened eyes.
"You told you not to worry about Du Xuan, I'm afraid it's Zhou's ......" Yin didn't continue.
"How? Du Mei helped her so much, did she still want to hurt her! Shen Zhanghua said angrily.
"She's a madman, since the last time we went to your place to see Du Shu, knowing that he broke the law irreparably, she made trouble every day, came to my house several times and cried and begged, rolling all over the ground, where did she parry an old woman, I was afraid that she would expand the key mold at that time.
I think about it now, the second house has also been smashed by her a few times, all while the children are bringing the black girl to lunch, but I am afraid that Du Mei's household registration documents have also been changed! Du Huaibing realized it and said with an ugly face.
"At this time, Patriarch Lao Du is bothered to find an excuse to take a look at her family's household registration." Chu Lin said in a deep voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Du Huaibing carried the lantern and hurriedly went out.
When he arrived at Du Mei's house, Du Huaibing made up the reason, saying that Du Mei was doing business in Jiangling City, and the county government had to make a registration, Xu did not have the slightest suspicion, and quickly found out the household registration documents and gave them to him.
Du Huaibing didn't dare to look at the household registration documents, carrying a lamp along the way, one foot deep and one shallow, and rushed home in a hurry.
The three of them gathered at the table and spread out the paperwork under the lamp, and as expected, Du Mei's name was crossed out!
"This crazy woman, how did she do such a unconscionable thing, where did she get Du Mei's household registration!" Yin sat on the chair with his buttocks, and finally couldn't help it, crying mournfully.
"Don't make a noise about this matter, let alone tell Du Mei's mother, tomorrow, Haosheng will return the paperwork, and we will do the rest!" Chu Lin instructed in a low voice.
Now is the worst outcome, Chu Lin didn't dare to think about how desperate Xu would be if he knew that Du Mei had been secretly touched out for no reason!
