Night falls, and the clouds are thick. Yunmeng Town has long lost the prosperity and liveliness of the day, and it is a scene of depression.

It's terrifying.

However, there is also a good thing, that is, although there are still daily deaths in the school field, the number of newly infected patients is decreasing, and the number of people who are getting better is gradually increasing.

The group rode in a carriage to the county office, which was brightly lit and the gate of the yamen was not closed.

After Wang Shiru recovered, he was already in his sixtieth year, and he still had to deal with the case overnight while he was still in office.

Lu Mingci saw that the yamen was still working, and he also knew that he should be busy with Ji Youling, the son of the national teacher.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been too long, and I still have official business to do. Let's go first. ”

"Okay." Zhu Hongyu sent Lu Ming off the car with a smile, which caused Runye's dissatisfaction. It's just that Runye won't say it.

After Zhu Hongyu sent Lu Ming out of the car, one of her hands was attached to Runye's hand, and her two hands were tightly clenched, for fear of being kidnapped again.

"Master Run, who is worried about the country and the people, almost lost his life for a few bags of aconite. To know this result, don't go. ”

Runye didn't say anything, but he still didn't want to be happy as usual. Compared with the fact that he was tied up in Heifeng Village, he is now more concerned about Lu Mingci.

"When did Lu Mingci come back?"

Runye was very wary of Lu Mingci, the brocade guard, and Zhu Hongyu was a little puzzled. Runye never liked to gossip about others, why is he so concerned about Lu Mingci now.

These two won't really have ...... Runye doesn't look like a good man.

"Hmm...... On the day you were tied up, everyone was discussing how to save you, and he listened to the wall for a while, and then came in. ”

Runye frowned without saying a word, he knew that he would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon......

"What's wrong? Why do you care so much about Lu Mingci? ”

Runya shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to talk about it.

Of course, when Zhu Hongyu doesn't want to talk about anything in Runye, she chooses to respect his ideas. The two fell into a long silence.

Zhu Hongyu approached Runye, smelling the smell of his robe, intentionally or unintentionally.

"You only smell of sweat on your robe, take a good shower when you go back, right? I'll get you some sandalwood to smoke and smoke all the bad luck. ”

Runye let go of the obstacles in his heart, and was still as gentle as before.

"Why, you also believe in bad luck?"

Zhu Hongyu's face couldn't hold back all of a sudden, she said so ambiguously, how could she stay unmoved at night, and she blocked her words to death.

"Believe it or not, what are you new to see in the Black Wind Village, what can you tell me?"

Runye didn't see or hear much, only one was quite shocked.

"I don't want to talk about this, but I just want to use this story to warn you not to take risks in the future."

This remark aroused Zhu Hongyu's interest even more.

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Runye settled down, and he has been a doctor for a long time, but he just saw the petty traitors in the village. But what I saw this time, I felt a chill in all my limbs.

"There isn't much food in the Black Wind Village, but their bandits have never been short of anything, do you know why?"

Zhu Hongyu shook her head, and if she didn't have food, she would buy it, or grab it. Runye: What is this problem?

"The bandits of the Black Wind Village will ransack a village and take away teenage girls. On weekdays, I use it to vent my desires, and I eat it when I have no food. ”

After saying this, Runye felt that every pore on his body was cold. It's the same with vermilion.

"This ...... Is it the truth, or is it a lie to me? ”

Runye was annoyed, how could he deceive people?

"What am I lying to you about this?"

Zhu Hongyu was blocked and had nothing to say, of course she believed that Runye would not make up stories about these things, but this was too ...... It's horrifying.

Runye was afraid that Zhu Hongyu still wouldn't believe it, so he added some details.

"I saw with my own eyes that there was a dirt pit next to their kitchen, and it was full of human skeletons. There is also a little girl's skirt. You said...... Am I lying to you? ”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly shook her head, she didn't mean that, and she didn't know how Runye could be more serious.

"I believe it. After all, I'm a person who has never seen the world, so I was shocked. ”

Runye stopped talking, and felt that his temper was a lot shorter? It's weird.

Is it because of Lu Mingci? Or is it because of this experience?

The words of the two of you and me in the car are nothing more than the words of the illness of some school patients, which are also tasteless.

When I walked to the entrance of the school field, the weather changed abruptly. There were a few thunderstorms in the sky, and then the wind was rustling and the rain was sluggish.

After this rain, the hot and restless weather quickly cooled down, and Zhu Hongyu realized that it was time to cool down.

Several of Jiang Jae-woo's soldiers came out with umbrellas to pick up people, and Runye got out of the car before the night.

Runye held an umbrella and slowly entered the door of the school grounds.

The remaining patients in the military tent helped lower the tent curtain to avoid the rain, walking in such a torrential rain, Zhu Hongyu had only one thing in mind.

"Runye, you say...... The plague is almost over, isn't it? ”

In the face of Zhu Hongyu's optimistic speculation, Runye was extremely pessimistic. He walked in the rain and slowed down significantly.

After the plague passed, Lu Ming's investigation of the case also had results, and I don't know what his stable life will become at that time.

"Who knows, where on earth is not hell?"

After saying this, Runye quickened his pace and walked through the school field, his robe shaking with the wind and rain.

"Don't be so sad, okay? Let's look at the point. ”

Zhu Hongyu naturally chased after Runye, so she didn't care that he was far away from her.

Ke Runye's heart had already been pulled by Lu Mingci......

"It's really going to change, you have to take care of yourself."

The last sentence, because of the heavy rain, Zhu Hongyu did not hear it very clearly.

However, Runye's every move today made Zhu Hongyu feel that this might be PTSD, right? (Post-traumatic stress response syndrome)

In the county office, Lu Mingci sat in the position of the county magistrate, stepped on the stool with one foot, and gently opened the directory of household registration files in his hand.

These household registrations are piled up together, scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, cheap, and empty. Except for a few empty registrations, there are many others.

Lu Mingci kept frowning, slammed the catalog on the table, and then closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eyes with his hand. After reading the catalog, Lu Mingci was desperate in his heart.

"These are all the registered populations of your Yunmeng Town and the six counties under your rule, which is really a lot."

Wang Shiru was waiting on the side, and it was difficult for him to wait for Jinyiwei to find his household registration for his old arms and legs. At this time, Lu Ming complained and didn't dare to answer a word.

"By the way, your county government has made up for household registration, have you ever received a gift?"

Wang Shiru was so frightened by Lu Mingci's words that he knelt on the ground, but he didn't expect that his reputation would be ruined in the matter of making up for household registration.

"My lord, this, this, and this benefit are all received by the county officials, and I really don't know about a small county."

Lu Mingci was too lazy to talk to Wang Shiru, so he didn't care who accepted the gift.

"I'll just ask you one thing, do you have a record of these people who gave gifts to make up for them?"

Wang Shiru thought and thought, and almost cried.

"My lord! In the past, the county officials all received gifts and secretly supervised them, where did they dare to have records. ”

According to the regulations of the imperial court, all children who have reached the age of five must be taken to the government to make a naturalization, and then the government will issue identity documents.

There are some people who want to remain incognito, or if they have committed a crime, or if they want to change their nationality, they can give a gift to the county official and make up for the household registration.

Of course, people near the capital would not dare to do this. But there must be such officials in Ganzhou, where the emperor is far away.

If this great master wants to be incognito, it is not difficult to spend some silver.

But Ji Yuzhi's death seems to be final. After all, the brocade guards under him have been checking for two years, and this Ji Yuzhi has really evaporated in the world in the past twelve years.

Finally, according to the clues spit out by a passer-by, I came to Ganzhou.

That's it, they have time for the brocade guards.

"Wang Shiru, you find a dozen people, find out the files of men who have reached the age of 23, 24, and 25 this year, pile them together, and then report them to me."

Wang Shiru didn't dare to talk nonsense, and took the scribes in the yamen, and even the apprentices and masters, and selected the household registration according to Lu Mingci's requirements.

Lu Mingci himself also hugged a stack of household registrations, blowing away the dusty soil on it, as if waving away the doubts of the national teacher in the past twelve years.

The lights of the county government in Yunmeng Town were lit all night.

Lu Mingci inquired about the files, and it was not until the next day that the sun shone into the main hall of the yamen, and he suddenly woke up. After waking up, Lu Mingci's subconscious action was to pick up the household registration that he hadn't seen to look for.

The three words "Ji Runye" suddenly rushed into Lu Mingci's eyes.

Heh, this is all empty?

Some of the people in the hall are sleeping, and some are still inquiring, after all, they are in shifts, day and night.

Out of curiosity, Lu Mingci couldn't wait to open Runye's file.

The old paper emitted the scent of ink, and after the smoke and dust of the years had cleared, I saw that Runye's household registration was empty.

"Ji Runye, the archives moved out of Yunmeng Town."

Moving out? Lu Mingci saw this situation for the first time.

This Runye stayed well in Yunmeng Town, why did he suddenly have a result of moving out? What's going on here.

"Eh, Xiancheng, come over here."

Wang Shiru was leaning on the bench and dozing off, when he heard Lu Mingci call his name, he hurriedly walked up and rubbed his eyes that had not yet opened.

"Explain to me what this 'moveout' means."

Wang Shiru picked up this dusty archive, thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered this person named "Runye".

"Lord Lu, my dynasty has always had a group of Taoist priests who were raised by Bianjing, and the household registration of these Taoist priests is stored in the capital."

Lu Mingci had indeed heard such a statement.

"I know that there are some places where Taoist priests live in poverty, so they sell themselves to Chaoyunguan in Bianjing, and these Taoist priests can still stay where they are, and they can also get a lot of incense money every year. Of course, the price of doing this is to engrave yourself in the empty book forever, and in addition, the state holds national sacrifices such as Luo Tian Dajiao, or if there are other arrangements, you must obey. ”

Wang Shiru was relieved to hear that Lu Mingci still knew about this system. I'm afraid that Xiucai will meet a soldier, and it is unreasonable.

"This Rundao chief was engraved to death twelve years ago. At that time, when his master brought him here, he said that the temple was really unbearable, so he brought his apprentice to sell it. Well...... That's right. ”

Lu Mingci couldn't help sighing, this Runye was adopted by his master, but it was just used as a tool to make money.

"Who is his master? Is the ring not there? ”

"Yes, there's a backup here."

As he spoke, Wang Shiru handed a simple precept to Lu Mingci.
