Lingfu took a step back in a panic and hurriedly touched his face: "Is there something on my face?" ”

She looked around and there was nothing to shine on, so she had to rub her sleeve on her face twice.

Cui Yuanting watched her kitten's face-washing movements, and her fingertips still had the slippery touch on the beauty's face, and her heart suddenly felt like a layer of fluffy grass, itching and swinging.

"Don't wipe it, the more you wipe it, the more it will spend." He reminded her with a smile.

Lingfu looked at his sleeve, and he didn't know when it had turned gray and black.

Cough......

What about her current appearance......

Is it that every pore exudes the temperament of "conscientious, hard-working", right?

Call...... Don't be weak-hearted, forget yourself and work overtime to be seen by the boss with a weak heart? The blame can only be blamed for the lack of daily maintenance of the loft, okay? The ash is on average half an inch thick.

Cui Yuanting did not shy away from her cat-like little dirty face, and said softly: "It's already gone, except for the errand on duty, there is no one in the front office, I'm afraid that you will stay alone for a long time and be afraid, so I came to you." ”

Lingfu pouted imperceptibly: "In the yamen, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Cui Yuanting put down the candle, picked up a case file at random, flipped through it, and said in an extremely natural tone: "Don't you know that the yamen is the most haunted place?" ”

Lingfu said with a smile: "People say that the yamen is the most righteous place in a place, and the ghosts and gods dare not approach, how can it be haunted?" ”

Cui Yuanting sighed: "That also depends on whether the family's style is really square, just in Chuyi County, people's hearts are like ghosts, and the yamen is rampant day and night." ”

Lingfu tilted his head slightly to look at him and said, "Aren't you here now?" Cui County Ling is honest and selfless enough, with you, there are naturally ghosts and gods here. ”

Want to scare her? Then don't blame her for slapping her ass!

Look, how fresh and natural, moisturizing things silently......

Lingfu gave himself a hundred likes in his heart.

Cui Yuanting said seriously: "Haven't you seen the tablet behind the gate?" ”

Lingfu thought about it, it seemed that there was such an inconspicuous tablet, and at that time he thought about what it was for, so he nodded and waited for Cui Yuanting's next words with a serious face.

Who knew that Cui Yuanting did not explain, but asked again: "Have you ever been to the mezzanine courtyard between the treasury and the ceremonial room?" There's also a tablet there. ”

Lingfu finally couldn't help it: "What is that?" ”

Cui Yuanting couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Lingfu moved his chin and argued, "I'm just curious, don't say it if you don't say it now." ”

She spoke with disgust, but Cui Yuanting liked the little daughter's attitude she showed at the moment, and deliberately provoked her: "If you are not afraid, after checking it out later, I will take you on a candle night tour and tell you about it on the spot?" ”

Lingfu raised his head: "Go and go, I want to see if the ghost stories told by Cui County Ling are scary." ”

After that, he re-entered the middle of the pavilion, and Cui Yuanting no longer troubled her, but followed behind her to help her hold a lamp to illuminate it.

His presence made the space seem to be cramped all of a sudden, and Lingfu could even feel the breath of the person behind her, and her body temperature seemed to rise.

The dim light casts the shadows of the two men on the wall, looking so close......

A lamp burns out. Cui Yuanting changed a candle, and the two of them looked for it separately.

Suddenly, Lingfu shouted softly: "Found it!" ”

Cui Yuanting came over, only to see Lingfu holding a book of Chuyi County in the second year of the German Yuan Dynasty, pointing to a page and saying, "Here!" ”

Afraid that Cui Yuanting didn't understand, she explained: "Today I went to verify the list, in the part of the list submitted by the county lieutenant of Pi, there is a family that is my neighbor, it just so happened that I heard Tian's mother say some things about her family, so I went to her in the afternoon to verify, who knew that there was a discovery!" ”

Cui Yuanting took the errand book handed over by the Lingfu.

This poor department book is a book compiled by the government for the purpose of levying and issuing conscription, which is generally predestined by the county magistrate himself, and the township is the unit to count the number of people in the jurisdiction and various details, such as name, age, identity, whether they have served, paid or paid taxes, mourning, illness, etc., as well as the information of each household's assets and property, which is the most important certificate for the government to apportion the service to the people.

In the second year of the German Yuan Dynasty, that is, three years ago, the county government was archived, and it was clearly recorded that the Cai family had 60 acres of Yongye field and 120 acres of land in the mouth.

After Cui Yuanting finished browsing, he closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "On the part of the list submitted by the county lieutenant of Pi, the Cai family's household is Xiazhong, and the number of households is four, of which the number of adults is two, one is a woman, and one is a child who is not a child. Cai's family has 10 acres of Yongye field and 170 acres of mouth-divided fields. ”

There is a difference of fifty acres, and these fifty acres are almost all of the Cai family's wealth.

Lingfu sighed sincerely: "The county respects good memory. ”

"Chuyi County has a registered population of 6,531 households, a total of 23,719 people, these are my people, and I should remember the situation of each and every one of them." Cui Yuanting's voice was slow, but extremely serious.

He reopened his eyes, his gaze as clear as the moon, "Tell me about the situation of the Cai family again." ”

Lingfu told the story of what happened to the two sons of the Cai family.

At the end, she said: "After that, Fang Zheng led people to take back the Cai family's mouth field, Cai Niangzi was also obedient at first, until she heard Fang Zheng say that the mouth field to be recovered is one hundred and seventy acres, Cai Niangzi did not do it, she insisted that her family has sixty acres of Yongye field, this number is consistent with the number in the poor department book three years ago." ”

After thinking about it, she added: "I also asked Cai Niangzi, and she was sure that there was no land transaction in her family for three years. ”

Cui Yuanting closed the errand book and said in a deep voice: "Presumably, there will be many untruths in the list handed over by the county lieutenant. ”

Lingfu silently looked at Cui Yuanting's face that was still calm and handsome under the candlelight, waiting for his decision.

"I know that they will definitely play ghosts on the land, money, and food, but I still overestimate their conscience, and this way has driven a family into a desperate situation step by step, and these ghosts are so ruthless that they are ......" Cui Yuanting turned his head to look at the Lingfu, "It seems that we can't travel by candle today." Lingfu's eyes flashed: "Hmm! Wangxian Zun first arrested these living ghosts who were rampant in the world! ”

At noon the next day, Captain Pi finally stayed up until Cui Yuanting left the hall for lunch, he didn't have time to eat lunch, so he asked for a horse and hurried away.

In the southwest corner of the county, the most is Shuiyangfang, where the poor live in the lower nine streams. In a large and dilapidated courtyard, Jiang Xiancheng, who had picked off his hat and was wearing a dark gray short, was rolling up his sleeves to polish a wooden shaft.

While grinding, he motioned to the carpenter watching the work next to him: "Look, this side should be ground like this, and the thickness and size must be exactly the same." ”

The carpenter nodded, but before he could speak, there was a sound of horses outside the door, followed by three long and one short knocks.

Lei San, who was guarding the door, heard the code and immediately opened the door.

Lieutenant Pi strode in with the sweat on his forehead and threw the reins to Lei San casually.

Lei San hurriedly helped him bring the horse in and tie it up.

Jiang Xiancheng saw that it was the captain of Pi County, and said unhappily: "What's wrong with you?" Don't you know how much to look at here on horseback! ”
