Chapter 777 A Dream of Youth 309
The county constable flipped through the booklet, his head aching from looking at it. "Forget it, you can come with me. If there are any questions, you can ask Registrar Luo to answer them. After all, when it comes to extensive knowledge and a strong memory, only Yueqian can do it."
Luo Yueqian met the other person's gaze and nodded slightly.
He has a good memory, but the other party also seems to be trying to curry favor, probably because they've revealed to their superiors that he's about to be promoted.
Some people were on good terms with him, while others disliked him. After all, even if the county magistrate were gone, it wouldn't be Luo Yueqian's turn to take the position; the county assistant was still there.
This is improper.
Luo Yueqian pondered to himself, this seemed to be a multiple-choice question left to him by Xie Ning.
"arrive."
Luo Yueqian came to her senses and then, together with the county magistrate, reported the records of the Northern Jin people coming and going during this period.
Then he noticed that the other party seemed to be focusing on a businessman named Xiao Da, and upon further investigation, he found that Xiao Da was staying right next door to him.
"Wasn't someone renting this place before? Were they also from the Northern Jin Dynasty?"
"yes."
"Are they together?"
"I don't know. May I go and investigate?" The county constable wiped his sweat. He had barely glanced at the register, so how could he remember who rented there, or what their relationship was with the later ones?
The events were too far in the past, and even with her excellent memory, Luo Yueqian couldn't recall the details. She had to flip through another book of records before she finally found the person's entry into the city.
They actually entered the city in early summer this year.
This man sells furs and sheep, and frequently travels in and out of the city.
"My lord." Luo Yueqian bowed, feeling slightly uneasy, but he still managed to tell her what he had discovered during this period.
After the new tenant arrived, he never saw the original tenant again, and there was no record of them leaving the city.
Will there be any problems during this period? He knows too little information to calculate it.
The official at the head of the table frowned deeply. "Send people to investigate. If necessary, find an excuse to search that courtyard."
"yes."
Just as the two were about to leave, the adult hurriedly stopped them, saying, "That's enough, don't alert them. Go and ask the original owner of the courtyard if the previous tenant has moved out."
He needed to find a reason to move Hu Xin and the others out, so that sending people in to investigate wouldn't alert them, and he could also keep them under control.
That courtyard is difficult to keep an eye on; there are many people and a lot of people around. I don't know when the scouts I sent out last night will be back.
A fierce wind seemed to be blowing outside again, as if it would blow down the snow stored in the sky.
Xie Ning was unaware that someone had murderous intentions towards her. She was having her books loaded onto the carriage, as the return journey wasn't in a rush. They only needed to get back to the capital before the heavy snow blocked the roads.
Moreover, riding a horse in the cold weather was not comfortable, so she chose to read and review in the carriage, and to reorganize the medical records she had made, which were to be compiled into a book for teaching purposes, so she could not be careless.
Aqi Lan finished reciting her book in a daze, then moved to the window and gently lifted a corner to let the cold wind blow in, hoping to wake herself up.
Besides the four guards from the Xie family, the other riders outside were the soldiers sent by General Xu, a total of ten riders, which was more than enough to escort them.
I wonder what the capital is like now. I didn't spend the New Year with my mother in the capital last year, but I should be able to this year. She even bought some furs that were transported from Northern Jin for sale. They are very warm, and I'll make a padded jacket for my mother then.
Aqi Lan's thoughts drifted further and further away.
The rising sun was hidden behind the clouds, the sky was gloomy as if rain or snow was about to fall, and the majestic hills were shrouded in mist, making them difficult to see clearly.
Looking at the pass in front of them, the deputy general leading the team felt inexplicably uneasy. This was the only way back to the capital, and beyond the pass was a narrow road between two mountains.
Perhaps because of his years of fighting, this terrain always seemed strange to him.
However, this is within Bingzhou territory, and the army sends out a team to suppress bandits every month, so the bandit problem in Bingzhou is not serious, and no bandit leader would dare to rob them even if they saw that they were clearly officials.
"Deputy General Lin, is something wrong up ahead?" a soldier following behind asked.
Deputy General Lin reined in his horse. He was always cautious, and he had also learned some information before leaving home today. Since Hu Xin was able to sneak into Bingzhou City without making a sound, were there any hidden soldiers outside the city?
Nobody knows these things, and even if the other party frankly says no, no one will believe it.
Although Deputy General Lin didn't think anyone would stop him, since his group consisted of only family members and a few physicians, it was always better to be cautious.
"Send someone to scout ahead before proceeding."
