Chapter 167 Household Registration
The other officers also saw how powerful Mo Chuhan was. They did not dare to stop Mo Chuhan, but walked towards Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran behind him.
Unexpectedly, Mo Jiuye was not someone to be trifled with. When he saw someone coming, he first protected He Zhiran behind him, and then, like Mo Chuhan, he pushed the person aside.
Now, the officers realized how powerful the two brothers were, and no one dared to step forward to stop them. They could only yell from the side, trying to scare everyone away.
The two Mo brothers simply ignored these officials who were like jumping clowns, and brought their men directly to County Magistrate Cui.
When County Magistrate Cui saw this scene, he instinctively wanted to slip away through the back door.
Mo Chuhan took a step forward and blocked his way.
"County Magistrate Cui, please stay and complete our household registration before leaving."
Cui County Cheng...
He also wants to save face, right?
However, when he looked at Mo Chuhan's face, which was intimidating without even being angry, he felt a chill down his spine.
Looking at the officers under his command, who were standing timidly at the door, he became extremely angry.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Get this person out right now."
Seeing this, several officers could only step forward tentatively.
This time they were smart and did not dare to stop Mo Jiuye and Mo Chuhan. Instead, they attacked Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai directly.
The two men were originally scholars and were also quite old. When they were pulled by several officials, they could only retreat under the force of their force.
Fang Chuanzhou was also a little angry.
"Let me go. I have something to say to the county magistrate."
Hearing the voice behind them, brothers Mo Chuhan and Mo Jiuye turned their heads at the same time, as if they would take action if the officers didn't let them go.
When the officer saw the brothers' fierce eyes, he immediately shrank his neck in fear and his grip on the two men loosened instantly.
Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai broke free from the restraints of the officials, angrily walked around the Mo brothers and He Zhiran, and came in front of County Magistrate Cui.
"Sir County Magistrate, are you making things difficult for us by not registering us?"
County Magistrate Cui did not expect that these people would be so bold as to question him.
He had never encountered such a thing before.
The officials were not doing their job well, and the two Mo brothers were glaring at him angrily. County Magistrate Cui was a little scared at the moment.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him, and a gentleman never takes revenge too late...
Anyway, no matter what, he can't let himself suffer any loss now.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Cui cleared his throat and his attitude became much better than before.
"I have made it very clear. Your household registration can only be processed after the new county magistrate arrives."
After hearing his words, Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai sneered at the same time.
Xie Tianhai stepped forward and said, "Although I have been sentenced to exile, I have served as an official for decades and am very familiar with the procedures of government affairs. Please don't seek personal revenge here and make things difficult for me with the household registration issue."
Fang Chuanzhou also chimed in: "Could it be that County Magistrate Cui hasn't read about the Dashun official system and duties?
According to the law, household registration should be handled by the county magistrate. If you think this matter requires the county magistrate to handle it personally, then why does the court still support county magistrates like you? "
These were originally what Mo Jiuye wanted to say, but now that his two uncles had finished saying them, he slammed the table hard.
"Let me ask you, are you going to apply for the household registration?"
County Magistrate Cui already felt a little guilty because of what Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai said.
Shocked by Mo Jiuye again, sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
Those men were frightened and became like turtles hiding in their shells.
He believed that if he dared to say no now, he would definitely be injured.
"I will do it for you right now..."
Anyway, these people will live in Yuncheng in the future. There are many ways to deal with them, and we must not let ourselves suffer any losses.
After County Magistrate Cui finished speaking, he quickly took out a stack of blank household registration papers from under the table. In front of several people, he wrote down their household registration forms and stamped them with the official seal.
Beware of County Magistrate Gou's covert tactics, Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai carefully checked everything after completing the household registration process. After seeing that there were no problems, they nodded to the Mo brothers.
Several people strode out of the house with the household registration, and Mo Chuhan turned around and glared at County Magistrate Cui.
County Magistrate Cui was frightened again and broke out in a cold sweat...
Having just been intimidated by the Mo brothers, the officials who sent them to Xiling Village did not dare to show off their power as before. They were like quails, responsible only for leading the way.
Not long after walking out of the yamen, He Zhiran saw Tang Mingrui standing on the side of the road waving in her direction.
He Zhiran deliberately spoke loudly to Mo Jiuye: "Husband, how far is Xiling Village from here?"
Mo Jiuye also saw Tang Mingrui out of the corner of his eye and knew that He Zhiran asked this because he was planning to tell the latter their address.
So, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "I heard that Xiling Village is at the westernmost part of Yuncheng, but I don't know exactly how far it is."
Tang Mingrui nodded at the two of them, indicating that he knew where they were going, then he lowered his head and left as if nothing had happened.
Xiling Village is located in the northwest corner of Yuncheng, which is the closest location to the border in the Dashun Dynasty.
As the name suggests, there are endless mountains and hills there, and the continuous mountains became a dividing line between Dashun and the barbarians.
Because the mountains here are dangerous and it is not easy for the barbarians to come here, the Dashun Dynasty did not build a city wall there.
However, despite the steep mountains, they still couldn't stop the barbarians.
After all, it is always easier to cross a mountain than to attack a city.
Of course, the barbarians did not harass us all the time. They would only choose to take the risk and come when they encountered a famine or a food shortage in winter.
Despite this, the surrounding people suffered terribly.
Because they didn't know when these barbarians would come, they often lived in fear.
The officer led everyone on foot for more than an hour and finally arrived at Xiling Village.
From a distance, Xiling Village is backed by mountains.
It is winter now. Although there is no snow in Yuncheng yet, the top of the mountain is already covered with white snow.
Before entering the village, you can see endless farmland.
It can be seen that there is a lot of arable land in Xiling Village.
The houses in Xiling Village are built in three concentrated areas. If people did not know in advance that these houses belong to Xiling Village, it would be easy for people to mistake them for three villages.
Mo Jiuye stopped an officer and asked, "Why are the houses here scattered across three locations?"
The officer habitually wanted some benefits, but when he met Mo Jiuye's deep eyes, he instantly became timid.
"To tell you the truth, you have offended County Magistrate Cui, and he deliberately sent you here to be ostracized.
There are three big families in Xiling Village, namely the Cui family, the Zhao family and the Zhou family.
The Cui family are all relatives of our county magistrate, and they are also the largest family here.
Although the other two families are weaker, they are sensible and never make enemies with the Cui family. That is why they can live here in peace."
Peng Wang had already reminded Mo Jiuye of the general situation of Xiling Village. However, he was not aware that this was the village where County Magistrate Cui's relatives lived.
If the official hadn't told him, Mo Jiuye really wouldn't have known about this relationship.
It seems that County Magistrate Cui assigned them to Xiling Village not only to make them suffer from the exclusion of several families, but most importantly, to make the Cui family take action.
