Qingguang fell, and finally should be in the southeast direction.

On this day, a group of envoys came to Dongtian County, a subordinate of the Dagui Dynasty, and were received by Chongyu, the county keeper of Dongtian County.

"Since the envoy has come here, we naturally have to be well received, but I don't know what the order is?" Wang Chongyu took a sip of the teacup, looked at the few people in black robes sitting on the side, he had some doubts in his heart, although this Dongtian County is not a remote place, but it is not extremely prosperous, and there are usually no envoys from the imperial court to come, but at this moment, there are several people in a row, and there is an army stationed outside the city, what does this mean? Could it be that he learned something, so he came to investigate him?

Wang Chongyu thought wildly in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to let him directly kill these envoys, not to mention that these people were weird, even the army outside the city made him dare not act rashly, so he could only entertain him for the time being, hoping that it would not be trouble to come to him.

Hearing Wang Chongyu's words, a middle-aged man with a sallow face among the several black-robed people seated turned his head and said expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with you that we are here, and we don't want to know what you are doing, but there is one thing, you have to do your best to complete the task we assigned, otherwise, I believe you will know the consequences." ”

Wang Chongyu is the most unthreatened in his life, but after hearing the words from the mouth of the middle-aged man at this moment, he has a relaxed feeling in his heart, as if it is a great blessing that these people are not targeting him, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the envoy's order is, don't say anything else, in this Dongtian County, my county guard still has some rights, and the things explained by the envoy will also be completed with all his might." ”

"Okay, that's it." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "On the seventh day of the tenth month, you have to remember this day, because in the next Dongtian County, as long as the children born on this day this year, regardless of gender, they must be found out, and then handed over to me, it's very simple, right?" ”

"Looking for a child?" Wang Chongyu thought at first that it would be to hunt down some fugitives, or collect taxes and the like, but he didn't expect that he was looking for newborn children, and he would take these children away when he heard this.

Wang Chongyu was silent, although he was not a good person, he usually scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, and he had a hundred and ten lives in his hands, but this kind of thing was far beyond his ability, and it was beyond the scope of his heart, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly to refuse.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw several black-robed people, including the middle-aged man, looking at him expressionlessly, and a huge sense of fear suddenly filled his mind, I will die! If you refuse, you will die. This was a thought that suddenly appeared in his mind, and then it swelled uncontrollably, so that he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

"I... I thought, I want to ask, why do you want to catch children? Wang Chongyu slowed down for a while, but in the end he couldn't overcome his fear and say something to refuse, so he could only ask the reason with the last trace of courage, this was his last struggle.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you just have to do it, if it weren't for the fact that your Tailing Wang family still has some effect, otherwise you would be dead by now." ”

Hearing the Tailing Wang family, Wang Chongyu seemed to understand something, and the anger in his heart was also relieved, and he said softly: "I know, I will do it." ”

"Very good, if you encounter resistance, the army outside the city will help you, it's October 17, I want to see all the children on the first day of November, if you can't do it, it's not just you, everyone in the Wang family will die."

After speaking, the middle-aged man and the black-robed man walked out of the county guard mansion directly, leaving Wang Chongyu alone as if he had lost his soul and collapsed on the chair for a long time.

Next.

A notice about the census was posted on the notice board of Dongtian County, which said that it was necessary to thoroughly check the population born in Dongtian County in the last three years, and then report to the imperial court.

As soon as this notice appeared, it quickly spread throughout Dongtian County, and also made countless poor people dance with joy, although this year is not the end of the dynasty, but the heavy tax still weighs down some poor people to raise their heads, and now that they can have the opportunity to reduce some, these people naturally want to celebrate happily.

And not only the poor, the taxes of the Dagui Dynasty are owned by everyone, regardless of whether they are high or low, so even those big landlords and businessmen, or the officials of Dongtian County, actively responded to this order, and even began to take the initiative to help, and it is extremely important to make all the censuses of those born within three years clear, and none of them can be left behind.

For a time, the little official in charge of the census became the object of everyone's pursuit, and wherever he was, as long as he held a census book, he would receive the warmest hospitality.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was seven days later.

In the county guard's mansion, Wang Chongyu once again received several black-robed envoys, or the same people last time, or the middle-aged man communicated with him.

"Yes, it's really good, you still have some use." The middle-aged man looked at the booklet that had been sorted out in his hand, which already included all the children born on the seventh day of October in the entire Dongtian County, and none of them were left behind.

Nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged man said to Wang Chongyu, who was a little pale beside him: "Since it has been found out, then let's start acting, I don't need to teach you how to do it." ”

Wang Chongyu's expression was a little painful, but he still arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, I'll do it right away, according to the booklet, a total of 3,461 people were born on the seventh day of the tenth month, and these people can be handed over to the envoy within ten days." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Next.

Chongyu, the king of Dongtian County, suddenly mobilized 300 county soldiers, and these people joined the 500-strong army stationed outside the city, a total of 800 people, divided into ten teams, each team of 80 people, and headed towards the ten county towns under the rule of Dongtian County.

While everyone knew what the county guard was going to do, the soldiers had already broken down the doors of most of the houses, and then rushed in, snatching the little wealth they had left behind after snatching their original targets from their parents.

Three days, it only took three days, the entire Dongtian County was in an uproar, and the county guard Wang Chongyu became a notorious model, and countless literati and writers began to write books and biographies for it, of course, they were all popular jargon books and the like, which also listed each of its crimes, even if it was taken out alone, it was enough to make Wang Chongyu thunder and split.

After hearing about this, countless chivalrous righteous men rushed to Dongtian County, preparing to end Wang Chongyu's criminal life and rescue those children who were taken away.
