This booklet is a bit old in texture.

To the touch, there should be a rope wrapped around it, keeping it sealed.

Xue Mu now has 3% of his eyesight restored.

But I still can't see what this booklet looks like.

He planned to wait until he finished eating, and let Xu Ruyan take a look.

After a while, two women came out.

They also served a lot of food.

It seems that today is another hearty meal.

"Childe, it's time to eat." Xu Ruyan put the plate of fish in front of him and reminded: "Childe, when you can eat fish, be careful." ”

"Okay."

In the process of eating, Xue Mu finally said, in order to avoid them worrying: "In two days, I may have to cooperate with the case, it is a bit risky, you take care of each other at home." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei also glanced at each other.

At this time, Leng Mei asked, "Does this case involve life?" ”

"Possibly." Xue Mu nodded.

After all, the person who deals with you in a few days is not a ruffian like Chen Tai, but a real murderous bandit who doesn't blink.

If one is not careful, there is a real possibility that his life will be lost.

Xu Ruyan said nervously at this time: "Then can you not go?" ”

"If you don't go, I guess you won't be able to stay in the prison in the future, so you have to go." Xue Mu explained.

After Xu Ruyan heard this, she wanted to speak again.

But she didn't say anything more, but ate in silence.

Xue Mu saw that the atmosphere on the field was a little cold, so he smiled and said: "How do you feel like I'm going to die on the spot the next day, it's not that exaggerated, I'm just going to do chores, besides, this kind of thing must be done by the people of the God Capture Division, and I can do it at most." ”

Hearing these words, Xu Ruyan's heart was a little more relieved.

She nodded and said, "Childe is right, then when you go out, you must be more careful, and run away when you encounter danger." ”

"Okay, I'm sure I'll do it, don't worry." Xue Mu pretended to be happy.

Leng Mei didn't speak on the side.

She knew what Xue Mu had encountered this time, and it was estimated that it was not that simple.

After eating, while Xu Ruyan was cleaning up, Leng Mei said to him: "Remember to take that knife." ”

"Okay, I see, Sister Leng."

With that, Leng Mei entered the room and did not come out again.

After a while, Xu Ruyan came out of the kitchen again.

Xue Mu said to her: "Let's go, enter your house." ”

Xu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked in with him.

After closing the door, Xu Ruyan was a little nervous and said, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”

"Look what's written here?" Xue Mu took out the booklet from his arms.

Xu Ruyan looked at the booklet, sat down, and then asked, "This is?" ”

"This is from the floor tiles in your house, maybe your father left it, open it and see what is written inside." Xue Mu reminded.

When Xu Ruyan heard this, she was very surprised.

She immediately picked up the booklet and looked at it.

"There's a rope tied here, I'll remove it first."

After speaking, Xu Ruyan began to move.

In the process, she even felt a little strenuous.

Obviously, if this was left by her father, then it must have been something very important.

That's why it's wrapped so tightly.

Xue Mu was obviously nervous as well.

If the things in this can confirm Xu Jie's identity, then the previous mystery can be solved.

Now, he wondered if Xu Jie, like his father, was an undercover agent secretly planted in Daqing by the Great Xia Kingdom.

He then asked, "What is written in this?" ”

"This ......"

When Xu Ruyan opened the booklet and looked at the content on it, she was a little hesitant for a while.

She continued to flip, and with each page she looked on, her expression became more solemn.

Xue Mu knew that she must have seen something terrible, so he waited patiently.

Until Xu Ruyan raised her head, she said nervously: "This is a book that records the data of the fields of each household near the capital. ”

"Data?" Xue Mu was puzzled: "What data?" ”

"Each family will be more or less allocated some fields for cultivation, and the number of acres of land per person is well-founded, and my father has been busy for more than half a year, perhaps for this."

She continued: "But what is recorded here is that every household is registered more than it actually is. ”

"What do you mean?"

"For example, this household in Zhangjiazhuang outside the city, Zhang Baisheng, he registered four acres of land, but after the actual measurement, my father's corrected data is three acres and five cents of land."

When Xue Mu heard this, he asked, "Actually, there are five points of land missing?" ”

Xu Ruyan nodded: "Yes, if it is according to my father's booklet, it should be like this." ”

Xue Mu hurriedly asked, "You continue to see, is it all like this?" ”

Xu Ruyan flipped through the pages of the album behind, and then nodded: "Almost all, more or less a little less." ”

"Then you can see if there are any registrations that are less than they actually are?"

"Nope."

Xue Mu was surprised: "Are you sure so quickly?" ”

Xu Ruyan replied: "I also guessed this possibility just now, so when I looked at it, I paid special attention to the number, but I didn't find it." ”

Only then did Xue Mu recall that she had the ability to never forget.

It seems that this booklet is not complete.

If there are more people, there must be fewer people.

This is an ironclad law.

Maybe Xu Jie's investigation process, some people are unwilling to cooperate.

In any case, this booklet deals with land, quarterly taxation.

Xue Mu felt that this booklet had to be well hidden.

He said to Xu Ruyan: "Ruyan, can you write down all the contents of this booklet tonight?" ”

"Well, I can."

"It's okay if you write it down, I'll give you another night."

"No, Childe, one night is enough."

Seeing that Xu Ruyan was so confident, Xue Mu felt that he should also trust her memory.

So he encouraged: "Okay, then you try to memorize all the contents of this booklet tonight, this booklet is very important, we must hide it, we can't take it out casually, so if you remember these numbers, then we will be able to do it." ”

"Okay, don't worry, Childe." Xu Ruyan nodded.

Xue Mu saw that the time was not early, so he planned to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Ruyan cautiously asked: "Childe, is it very dangerous for you to go out to handle the case this time, just now you just deliberately didn't say it." ”

Xue Mu knew that although she was simple by nature, she was delicate.

So he no longer hid it: "Well, this time I may lose my life." ”

"That'...... Can you not go ......," Xu Ruyan plucked up her courage and said.

Her eyes were slightly red, and there were some tears in her eyes: "I don't have a father anymore, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"

"Don't worry, Ruyan, I'll be fine, besides, we still have to make a lot of money from "The Legend of the West Chamber"!" Xue Mu comforted.

He knew that Xu Ruyan was secretly shedding tears, so he slowly came to her with his intuition.

Reach out and touch her face and help her wipe away her tears.

At this moment, Xu Ruyan couldn't help it.

She moved her head forward slightly, buried herself in Xue Mu's arms, and her two little hands carefully grabbed his clothes, crying in a low voice.

It was also this moment that made Xue Mu feel.

If it is said that the strength has increased these days, it is to make yourself no longer bullied.

Then the improvement of strength and status in the future is to reassure those who care about themselves.

This also made him more determined to slowly move closer to a higher status through the case of the bandits......
