Chapter 364: Back Pain
Fan Ying was embarrassed to say that her sister had wronged people! I saw him on the street, but I couldn't see any birthmarks, but I knew it was him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But she didn't say anything about the birthmark, which made Liu Yuru want to know more.
Fan Ying said: "Let's think about how to find out about that horse, and go back early." Maybe my brother has already returned. The two of them didn't speak for a while, both thinking about Master Gao.
Liu Yuru said, at least I know that the person who appeared in Shanzhou on a black-hoofed red rabbit would definitely not be surnamed Cui. First, the same surname is not married, and second, if most people in Danyang Town are surnamed Cui, they must all be somewhat related, it seems that we can try to start with the possible patriarch.
"How?" Fan Ying asked.
"Release the head."
She whispered to Fan Ying, "If none of this is useful, we still have one last person to ask." ”
Fan Ying asked whom. Liu Yuru said, "It's the old woman who carries firewood." She lives alone outside the town, carrying firewood on her own, and a discerning person can see at a glance that she has little to do with the people in the village, otherwise she would not live there. She's so unnoticed, if someone really went to town to tell her something, I think they probably would have ignored her. I think at her age, most of the things in the past will have some impressions. ”
In the morning, as soon as the two opened the courtyard door, Wang Ren was waiting outside the courtyard, Fan Ying was very polite to him this time, and said to him, "There is something I want to trouble the head catcher to come over......
Wang Ren heard this and immediately said, "Mrs. Fan, don't worry, the head catcher has something to say, and he is on call if the ladies have something, so I will go back to him." With that, he trotted away. Sure enough, Shi Zhen quickly brought two of his subordinates to ride horses.
Listening to Liu Yuru talk about the matter, Shi Zhutou patted his chest and said, "What's so difficult about this!" Danfeng Town is also under the jurisdiction of Dangyang, not to mention one woman, ten women can also be found. ”
Liu Yuru said, "But this person has moved to Chang'an many years ago, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, right?" ”
Headcatcher, it's better to check. Although the county decree has changed a lot over the years, it is not permissible to levy and levy service according to households.
A county honorable, although the duty is to educate customs, receive and grant equal fields, persuade farmers, listen to lawsuits and break prisons, etc., but the levy is the first, if the limit is violated, there is a severe punishment.
Therefore, before each county magistrate leaves office, the changes and whereabouts of the population of every household in the county must be clearly stated, and the successor has no objection, and both parties can sign and draw a pledge before leaving office, otherwise they will not be able to leave. If there is a big mistake, not only will the officials not be able to do it, but the exiled ones will not be new.
Unexpectedly, the head of the release catcher was so enthusiastic, which made Liu Yuru and Fan Ying very moved. Immediately went to Dangyang County with the release of the arrester, and transferred the details of the women who moved from Danfeng Town to Chang'an over the years from the file file, and sure enough, the notes were very clear. There are solemn signatures of the county magistrates at the back.
But there are too many people, not counting the changing men, there are several large stacks of women's files alone. But this is not difficult for Liu Yuru. Although she doesn't know Cui's name, she knows Cui Yan.
She later entered the Gao Mansion with the Cui family, so according to her current age, she only selected the file within 19 years of Danfeng Town, and the two sisters didn't care about anything else, just went to find the word "Yan" in it.
If so, the two sisters also worked hard. Fan Ying thumped her back and said, "I really don't know how those county masters do things, how they are all perennial and still shy!" My back was hunched over for a while. ”
They finally found it. In the one-page file, it is clearly written, "On the seventh day of the tenth month of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Cui Shiying of Danfeng Town, was twenty-seven years old. With her daughter Cui Yan, ten years old. entered Chang'an and married a high judge. The address of Cui Ying's former residence in Danfeng Town is also attached.
But the information on this page only told the two of them what Cui's name was, her age, and where she lived. And Gao Xianxing has never seen that horse, Gao Jun rides a charcoal fire every day and sways in front of his eyes, if he knew, he should have asked a long time ago, unless Gao Changshi Chengfu is so deep that there is no bottom.
However, judging from Cui Ying's efforts to cover up this matter, the high-level trial should be excluded. The real person, that is, Cui Yan's father, must have been further back to find out. So the two of them stared wide-eyed and looked forward from Zhenguan ten years.
However, those case files are too long, and the handover of successive county leaders is only focused on the last few years, and the past records are somewhat vague. Add moth-eaten water, and those handwriting will be even more difficult to read. At lunchtime, the head of the release and catcher sent someone to buy the food for the two, and he was very warm and thoughtful.
While eating, Liu Yuru was talking to the head catcher, and she asked, "As far as I know, the head catcher in every county is equipped with unique skills, otherwise how can the matter of catching thieves and thieves be done?" ”
Shi Zhen said modestly, "Mrs. Liu, you look down on me, how can I have that ability, it's just that the county looks at me and lets me manage the third class of officials, if you talk about real ability, there is no real ability at all." ”
Fan Ying said, why don't you have real skills? I think those scoundrels are scared of you to death.
Shi Zhen was not annoyed, and replied with a smile, "That's it, the so-called evil is invincible, a head catcher is no longer good, and those thieves are also afraid." I can't fight, but none of the third-class servants under me are vegetarians. For example, those soap servants and strong laborers, standing in the hall, executions, guards, and sayings can be brought in all kinds. Just a 'mighty', I don't know how many people scared their pants! And those fast soldiers, who are in charge of arrest, whether the horse is fast or the pace is fast, who doesn't have one or two good skills? ”
Fan Ying said, "According to what you say, why did the emperor still personally conquer Goryeo?" If you go to a class of officials, you won't level Goryeo! Her words choked Shi Zhen so much that she couldn't find a good word to answer.
I had to turn the conversation back again, "Hehe, more are only responsible for specific things, and not all of them are so powerful, like those people, archers, poor food, menzi, forbidden sons, servants, stable women, umbrella drivers, and sedan chair men, they are only responsible for general things." ”
After eating, Shi Zhen went out, and the two sisters continued to investigate, but they couldn't find anything again. Liu Yuru finally said, "Forget my sister, let's not check, a fifth young grandmother from Gaofu, it is estimated that when she left, she wiped the things behind her." ”
The two came out of Dangyang County, beat horses and went to Danfeng Town, and first checked Cui's residence. When they got there, they were both a little dumbfounded. Originally, the address of the Cui family written on the top of the dossier was only a wasteland when they saw it.
The house had long since been demolished, and no one had built a house on its original site, with tall yards on the left and right sides, only weeds and piles of rubble.
Liu Yuru walked up and kicked the ruins with her foot, revealing a stone from under the weeds, and the surface was smooth. She beckoned Fan Ying to come forward and dug down the four sides of the stone with her sword, and soon a ashlar buried in the ground appeared.
"Sister, what is this?"
The stone is three feet long and two feet wide, because I don't know how high it is buried in the ground, but in the middle of the stone face is a bowl-shaped nest, Liu Yuru said, "This is the door sleeper stone." ”
Fan Ying stuck out her tongue, "Obediently, the stone under the door is so big!" ”
Liu Yuru said that if those dossiers are right, this is the former residence of the Cui family, and you can imagine how magnificent her family used to be. The townspeople of such a house don't know anything, which shows that they must have been warned about something, and they are not allowed to provide the information of Cui's house.
Liu Yuru almost had the idea of not checking it anymore for a while. She said to Fan Ying, sister, let's go back. Fan Ying said that it was still early, and Liu Yuru said that it was time for Master Gao to come back.
They rode out of town, and when they passed the little lonely courtyard outside the town, they saw the hunchbacked old woman, who did not know who gave her the white fish, as if she had been salted and hung one by one on the wooden shelves in the yard.
Liu Yuru said that it was still early, so why don't we go and help her, and then go home and go back to Xizhou. (To be continued.) )
