If there was really something unusual, he felt that the people from the Hanlin Academy he met in the theater were not right, but he couldn't say exactly what was wrong. Without evidence, speaking out would only get him into trouble, so Yang Yuanzu just said that he was watching acrobatics and didn't notice anything else.

The arithmetic officer left at the end of the performance, and he was questioned longer than Yang Yuanzu.

The neighbors saw the arithmetician returning home, so he was not a big suspect, but he could not be completely ruled out as a suspect because the victim was murdered between the evening curfew and dawn the next day.

The arithmetic officer could also sneak out at night, but it would be unlikely for this civil servant to avoid the night patrols with his skills.

The visitor cast his eyes on Yang Yuanzu, a civil servant who lived in the suburbs of Changjing City. It was even more impossible for him to cross most of the city at night to commit the crime. Moreover, the two of them had no connection with the victim at all.

After asking Yang Yuanzu and the others a few questions and taking notes, the man mounted his horse and left in a leisurely manner, coming and going like a gust of wind.

In a place where Yang Yuanzu and the other man could not see, the master rubbed his waist which had almost been sprained.

"The military officer's skills are really great!" Yang Yuanzu couldn't help but sigh after he left.

The arithmetic officer nodded in agreement, and then added: "But not all military officers are so good at martial arts. I heard that this man is called Hao Jie, and he works specifically for the Jingzhao prefect. Because he is often out investigating cases and hunting down murderers, his martial arts skills are much better than others."

If he didn't have good martial arts skills, he would have died long ago.

The two of them overcame the minor incident and completed today's task.

For the next period of time, Yang Yuanzu measured the land with the arithmetic official until the day of rest.

The arithmetic official had to stay at home to take care of the children, and he also had to go to check on the progress of the house construction, so the two of them, who usually worked hand in hand with the scale, separated today.

Yang Yuanzu brought Su Ning and Tianpu to You'an Street, east of the south gate of the inner city. Their house was built here.

The person who led the team to repair the house this time was Xiang Fangzhong. As soon as he received Yang Yuanzu's letter, he organized his men to come to Changjing City.

Xiang Fangzhong had wanted to come to Changjing City to see the construction technology there for a long time, but he never had the chance. Now that he has finally waited for such an opportunity, any hesitation on his part would be disrespectful to his dream.

As for the affairs of Shunxing County, Fang Zhong temporarily handed them over to his apprentice. This apprentice had followed him for seven or eight years. He was very talented and experienced, so he was very confident in him.

The new house was built faster than Yang Yuanzu had imagined. His house in Changjing City was built in a relatively low-key manner, with only one floor. He built it in the same style as the local people, and it was not unique at all. The only difference was the interior.

The interior of the new house was the same as the one in his hometown in Shunxing County. A "目"-shaped septic tank and a ceramic channel were built as the toilet drainage system. Although Yang Yuanzu wanted to use plastic pipes, he did not have the materials so he could only use ceramics instead. Fortunately, the ceramic technology of the Daning Dynasty was well developed, so he only needed to explain his needs to Boss Tao.

The new bathroom was also covered with white ceramic floors. The decoration materials sent from his hometown in Shunxing County were basically installed in the new house. Yang Yuanzu looked around and thought that he would be able to move in after a while. After moving in, he would not have to spend a lot of time on the road every day.

Yang Yuanzu wrote a letter about the situation in Changjing City and sent it back to his hometown in Shunxing County. The previous porters were too slow, so Yang Yuanzu tried to send the letter by carrier pigeon for the first time.

These pigeons have been raised in his hometown in Shunxing County for a long time. He thinks that if nothing unexpected happens, these pigeons should be able to fly back. The last time he used pigeons to find Hu Wa, a few pigeons disobeyed his command and flew back to their hometown in Shunxing County on their own.

Luo Mingshi left Changjing City after he finished the exam. He felt that his wife was the most important, so he rushed back to Shunxing County with the gifts he bought in Changjing City before the results of the Imperial Hospital exam were announced. As for the exam results, Yang Yuanzu would help him, and no matter whether he was selected or not, he would let Yang Yuanzu send the news back.

Yang Yuanzu waited for news from the Imperial Hospital for a few days and learned that Luo Mingshi had passed the exam.

Although Luo Mingshi only received an average grade from Imperial Physician Yao, he was outstanding among other imperial physicians.

Yang Yuanzu asked for leave for Luo Mingshi and postponed his entry into the Imperial Hospital. Luo Mingshi must still be at home taking care of Yang Huahua and recuperating.

Back home in Shunxing County, the Yang and Luo families were packing up, waiting for Yang Huahua to recuperate and adjust. After the baby was one month old, they would set off for Changjing City.

The baby is young, so everyone made thorough preparations to ensure a smooth journey.

The weather had warmed up completely, so they were no longer afraid of freezing on the road, but Luo's mother still brought some warm winter gear just in case.

Not only that, in order to provide Yang Huahua with nutrition on the road, they also brought many live chickens, ducks and geese, and prepared to make soup for Yang Huahua using a small stove in the car every day.

This time when moving, the Luo family even took their dairy cow and old donkey with them.

The old donkey is an old contributor to their family. The Luo family has been raising it and occasionally pulling light goods.

The pigs and countless chickens, ducks, fish and geese at home could not be taken away. Aunt Chen was reluctant to leave these treasures, so she only took a small number with her and left the rest to the care of the servants.

They were afraid that no one would take care of their hometown, so they left a servant to look after the house.

Many villagers in Fengping Village knew that the Yang family was going to move to Changjing City and were reluctant to leave Aunt Chen behind, so they came to chat with her these days.

"Original Ancestor's mother, if you leave now, we may never see each other again in this life. I don't know if we old bones will still be around when your ancestor retires and comes back..."

"Don't say that, old aunt. I will definitely come back to see you in the future. Not only is my home in Fengping Village, my family business is also here. When my family's Ting'an comes back to take care of business matters, I can come back with him."

"That's great. At least our generation can get together more often before we die of old age."

The person in the village who used to quarrel with Aunt Chen the most was also the one who was most reluctant to see her leave. They used to be evenly matched, but now that everyone is gone, there is no one left to quarrel with.

Some people in the village said goodbye, while others wanted to follow the Yang family to Changjing City to try their luck.

Aunt Chen would naturally not refuse if it was just to pick up a few people along the way, besides, they were all from the same hometown.

Lin Ting'an received Yang Yuanzu's pigeon letter three days after the message was sent. After Yang Huahua recovered, Lin Ting'an told everyone the news from Changjing City.

After learning that there was no problem over there, everyone started to pack up their belongings and started a family migration. Although this migration seemed troublesome, everyone was happy in their hearts.
