Chapter 479 Let me ask you one question: Do you want to get your household registration done?
The official who was easily kicked away didn't dare to move forward after he stood up, but under the constant urging of County Magistrate Tang, he had to bite the bullet and make things difficult for them.
Unexpectedly, before they had taken a few steps forward, Ran Qingxuan taught them a lesson.
The officer was knocked to the ground in no time. Magistrate Tang's forehead was sweating profusely and he was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.
Hiding behind the crowd, he could only speak in a trembling voice: "You, you, you...what exactly are you guys going to do?"
Even if Tang En wanted to leave this place, his fat body was difficult to move and he couldn't go far.
Gu Yanchen took a few steps forward to block his way. He had no weapon in his hand, but he was shaking with fear.
"So, what a mess!"
"My Lord, County Magistrate, I heard that you are ill and unable to register your household registration..."
County Magistrate Tang had no idea what she was up to and did not dare to speak easily.
"What do you mean?"
Ran Qingxuan chuckled and walked forward slowly: "What a coincidence, I happen to be a doctor. I can treat both difficult and common diseases."
"Why don't you let me treat you?"
Ran Qingxuan was clearly smiling, but the people around him just felt a chill down their spines.
Tang En swallowed his saliva with a gulp and began to shake his head subconsciously.
"No, no, no, I...I'm fine."
Ran Qingxuan's eyes were sharp, with a breathtaking pressure: "Since everything is fine, why don't you register our household registration?"
"I...I..."
Frightened by the aura of the people in front of him, Tang En didn't realize for a moment that he was the official.
Seeing that the Gu couple were not easy to deal with, Tang En turned his attention to the Chen and Xiao families.
As soon as he finished reading, Xian Cheng had already figured out what he meant...
"Come here, arrest the troublemaker."
The officials did not dare to provoke the Gu family, but the other two families seemed easy to control.
The police bypassed Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan and attacked Chen Chengping and Xiao Hongyi directly.
The two men have been gentlemen all their lives. At most, they exchanged words with others in the court, but never fought with anyone!
The two men were almost staggered by the young and strong officer's pull.
Gu Yanchen turned around when he heard the voice, staring at the officer who was pulling Xiao Hongyi.
The officer was frightened by the sting and subconsciously let go of his hand. Xiao Hongyi broke free and took a few steps forward to question Tang En.
"Don't use your physical discomfort as an excuse. Although we are now exiled prisoners, we have been officials for decades."
"According to the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the household registration of the criminal must be handed over to the head of the village by an official when the criminal is sent to the place of exile."
"You are delaying the processing of our household registration. If it is not to seek revenge, then it is because you do not understand the laws of Northern Qi!"
Not knowing the laws of Northern Qi means that he is incompetent. If he is reported, he may be investigated whether he bought the official position.
When Tang En was feeling overwhelmed, Chen Chengping immediately added more fuel.
"It's fine if the county magistrate has made things difficult for us before, but now do you really want us to send a letter back to the capital to expose your crimes?"
Tang En didn't expect that the two of them were not afraid at all and dared to question him on the spot.
Knowing that their confidence came from the Gu family, Tang En wanted to retaliate on the spot, but he had to think twice.
If he really makes people angry, he is not afraid of these two literati, maybe they are just trying to trick him.
The main reason is that Gu Yanchen has been an official for many years, so there must be many people supporting him.
If I really tell someone to teach him a lesson, I will be courting death...
Thinking of this, Tang En shook his fat body and forced a smile.
"I am indeed feeling unwell..."
Gu Yanchen had wanted to say those words a long time ago, and after hearing what his two uncles had said, he raised his hand and pointed directly at Tang En.
"Let me ask you one question, are you going to get your household registration done or not?"
Tang En was already feeling guilty because of what they said, and now being frightened by Gu Yanchen's pointing at him, cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Those subordinates who were like pus-filled lumps were also frightened and lowered their heads without daring to speak.
He was sure that if he dared to say no, the government office would be turned upside down by Gu Yanchen.
"I...I...will do it for you right now..."
In his opinion, these people will never be able to leave Los Angeles, so if he wants to deal with them, there are plenty of opportunities...
As for the current hurdle, it is a bit difficult to get through. You should take a long-term view and get rid of the person as soon as you finish the process.
Thinking of this, Tang En moved back to the desk with difficulty, and Xian Cheng had already taken out the blank household registration book and put it away.
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw how nimble he was.
Only after the official seals were stamped on all the household registration books of the three families did Xiao Hongyi personally check them to prevent him from cheating or tampering with them.
After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded to Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan.
After getting their new household registration books, they walked out of the house with smiles on their faces.
It was not easy to participate, but Bu Wei, who had been waiting outside the door, saw the smiles on their faces and knew that the matter must have been accomplished.
Bu Wei said goodbye to each of them one by one, and several families were successfully taken to Yongfeng Village.
In the past, when escorting prisoners, those officers were all arrogant, but now when leading the Gu family to the village, they didn't even dare to turn their heads.
Yongfeng Village is located at the westernmost part of Luocheng, and is the place closest to the border of Hanshan. Hanshan stretches for thousands of miles, and Yongfeng Village is the village closest to Beiguan.
The place where Marquis Zhenbei led his troops to guard was at Beiguan, which was not too far from them, but not close either.
Maoling Mountain was originally in a dangerous terrain, and the Yigui people could not get in even if they wanted to, so the imperial court did not repair the city wall.
But a few years ago, a small part of Maoling Mountain collapsed, and the Yigui people frequently invaded by taking advantage of the collapsed rocks.
The Marquis of Zhenbei suppressed the rebellion several times and even sent troops to control it, but the results were not satisfactory.
Fortunately, it is not easy to climb a mountain, even a collapsed mountain.
But every year before and after the New Year, or when there was a famine and a lack of grass and food, the Yigui people would risk crossing Maoling Mountain.
The Chinese New Year is only half a month away, and the foreign ghosts may come. Not only the people in Yongfeng Village, but also the people in several other surrounding villages are living in fear.
The officers took them for nearly two hours before they arrived at Yongfeng Village, and they couldn't see anything from a distance.
Although it snowed just a month ago, Maoling Mountain behind Yongfeng Village is already covered with snow.
After walking for another ten minutes, the group passed by a number of continuous farmlands.
Yongfeng Village has a lot of arable land and many habitable houses, but what is strange is that the houses are distributed in the four corners of the east, south, west and north, leaving a piece of vacant land in the middle. I don’t know what it is used for.
Ran Qingxuan asked the nearby official: "Why are the houses here so strange? And what is the empty space in the middle used for?"
The officer subconsciously wanted to yell, but when he turned around, he met the sharp gaze of the man from the Gu family and suddenly became speechless.
"To tell you the truth, you have offended Magistrate Tang, and I have assigned you here to make you ostracized."
"There are three major families in Yongfeng Village, namely the Qian family, the Lin family and the Guo family.
The county magistrate of the yamen is named Qian, and all the people living in the southeast corner are relatives of County magistrate Qian. Do you understand what I mean? ”
