In the small window of the attic, Wei Shu was hidden in the dark, staring at a figure walking downstairs with bright eyes, and her eyebrows gradually frowned.

In the middle of the night, how can there still be scribes wandering in the courtyard?

As the figure gradually approached, Wei Shu also saw the face of the comer.

The man dressed as a scribe was about thirty years old, and he had a wide forehead, hanging eyebrows, and a very unkind face.

He carried a lantern for the night patrol of the government in one hand, a coarse cloth oil umbrella in the other, and a government official paper jacket on his back, dressed in the official uniform of the government officials, without a scarf and hat on his head, revealing the hair tied on both sides of his head, and the corner of one side of his clothes was rolled into the belt, which was earthy yellow, and embroidered with strange patterns of grass and trees.

Wei Shu stared at the belt for a few breaths, and she already knew it in her heart.

It turned out to be a member of the Laigu tribe.

The strange ornamentation of plants and trees is characteristic of the Laigu tribe, who worship the god of the land, and the trees are born in the soil, and the trees are their totems.

In Akith's memory, the Raigu people did not shave their hair.

Compared with the brave and good fighting of the Hongjia Harqin tribe and the black-armored Suota tribe, the white-armored Laigu tribe is weaker.

In the Wujia Army, the Baijia Army to which the Lai Gu tribe belongs is the worst in combat effectiveness, and most of its people are heralds, flag officers, camp guards or baggage servants, etc., many Lai Gu people serve as civilians in the army, and many of the civil servants in the government are from this clan.

At this time, the scribe of the Nalai ancient tribe had already walked out of Wei Shu's sight along the edge of the green brick land, and the sound of scattered footsteps came one after another, not in a hurry or slowly, as if he was walking leisurely.

Wei Shu frowned and thought for a while, leaned over the window string, listened to the whereabouts of the footnote, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure swept out of the window like a flying swallow, and it only took two ups and downs to come to the back wall of the first courtyard, leaning over slightly, looking at the scribe who had not yet approached.

It's not that she's suspicious, it's that this person looks a little weird.

If it is said that this scribe is concerned with official duties and holds candles, he is really not frank enough like that, and he walks in places where he can't shine with lamps and candles; But if he said that he was sneaky and had other plans, he never hid his deeds, and the lantern in his hand was bright and open.

After a short time, the scribe walked under the wall of the second courtyard, took out the key from his waist, and opened the courtyard door.

"Dumb", the sound of the door opening came far away in the rainy night, and the scribe didn't seem to care, swaggering out of the courtyard door, Wei Shu almost suspected that he was deliberately trying to recruit someone.

However, after waiting for a while, the government in the night was still silent, only the drizzle swept the eaves, and its voice was low, like the wind singing.

actually taught him to walk out like this.

Wei Shu didn't know whether to praise his boldness or sigh at his big heart, but when he saw that the scribe entered the second courtyard, he turned around and went to the east, and soon came to the pavilion library located on the south wall.

Speaking of which, the Baishuang City Government was originally the Yincheng County Government, and its house regulations were the standard Song system. Twenty years ago, after the Jin army captured Yincheng, the county government was not rebuilt, therefore, the entire government still followed the old system, with a total of three courtyards before and after, the first two into the office, and the last one was the residence of the lord and his family. The cabinet library is still in its original location, and its purpose is still to place case files and official documents. ….

When the scribe opened the pavilion library, Wei Shu had already swept into the house silently, and the scribe only felt that there seemed to be a cool breeze blowing beside him, but he didn't know that a person had already fallen on the beam of the room.

Wei Shu is really a little curious now.

Why did this scribe come to the office at night? Is it really here to work?

According to the official system of the White Frost City Government, the scribe was in charge of the documents, so this scribe was very familiar with the cabinet library, and he carried the lantern three times and two times, and then came to the official shelf marked with the word "river", tiptoed through the upper layer at the end for a while, and then picked out a volume of official documents placed in the innermost place.

Until he picked up the official document, Wei Shu still couldn't guess his purpose, but in the next breath, she finally knew what this person was here for.

he

It's here to tamper with official documents. Actually.

Wei Shu was very surprised in her heart, and said in her heart that this person could do such a bad thing, which was unprecedented.

After finding the official document, the Laigu scribe took out the pen and ink, the printing box, the lacquer cylinder and other office materials from the official document purse, and a small dark green porcelain bottle, and placed them in the blank space of the shelf in turn, and then put the official document sealed with fire paint on the lantern and roasted it.

In a few moments, when the fire paint was a little softer, he picked up the small dark green porcelain bottle and dripped two drops of red juice on the fire paint.

I don't know what the juice was made of, but in the blink of an eye, it softened the fire paint, and it also wrapped a layer of grease on the outside of the paint, so that the fire paint did not dissipate, and dripped down the official document.

The scribe skillfully used a small urn to catch the oil beads of fire, then opened the official document, carefully read the document from beginning to end, and then took out the blank official document notebook that had been prepared long ago, and copied the whole text according to the gourd drawing scoop, making only slight changes in the key points.

Wei Shu could see clearly on the beam that the official document recorded the entry and exit of cargo ships at the largest wharf in White Frost City, including the name and number of ships, the type and number of goods, the name of the correspondent firm, the time when the goods entered and exited the wharf, and so on.

And the scribe changed only the number of ships and the number of goods, and there was no fixed number, whether they were added or subtracted.

What the hell is this man going to do?

Wei Shu's heart became more and more puzzled, but he saw that the scribe had copied and revised it with his hands and feet, and the official documents he had transcribed were no different from the original ones, whether they were handwritten, paper, or sealed.

When the handwriting had dried, he replaced the original with the altered official document, resealed it with fire paint, and put it back in its place.

Wei Shu thought that this was the end of it, but unexpectedly, the scribe rummaged on the shelf again, and it didn't take long to find several other official documents from other counties, which were still reported to the dock cargo ships and the like, and he still used the same method to re-transcribe and make changes, and still only changed the number, not others.

Looking at the scribe's actions, Wei Shu couldn't help but think of the incident of the White Frost City that he hurriedly read in Mangtai's study some time ago.

Baishuang City is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Canghe River, and the tributaries of the Lanjiang River are connected, when it was still Yincheng originally, it was the important town of Cao Yun in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty, there are official and commercial ships coming and going from time to time, and the ships transporting silver ore are successively transported, up to dozens of miles.

After being captured by the Jin State, because the Jin people did not know much about transportation, they only knew how to transport ore by land in the first ten years, and the Canghe wharf was also deserted.

Later, the national power of Dajin gradually strengthened, and the Jin people also discovered the wonders of Cao Yun, and there were also some boatmen who were good at handling boats among the Song people who were taken captive, so the Jin people restarted Cao Yun, and the Canghe wharf became lively again.
