I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Liuzi shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with it. This batch of garrisons was replaced a few months ago. The previous garrisons were there for the past two years, so I'm more familiar with them.

I can’t reach those generals, deputy generals and so on. They haven’t been replaced, but I don’t know them.

In the past few months, I have met some people, not many, but I can help my brother to find out. "

He glanced at the man sitting there registering in the yamen and asked, "Are you familiar with the people in the yamen?"

“I am familiar with the dozen or so people in the yamen who are responsible for registration at the dock, but the county magistrate has not yet had time to tell everyone that I have entered the yamen, so they don’t know.

The government also has patrols from here, but I'm not very familiar with it."

"Are all the dozen or so people in the government office locals? Are they married?"

"Well, there are a dozen or so people in the yamen who can read. They are old servants in the yamen. It was Master Wang who taught them to read. Now they can be put to good use. This job is so easy.

They are all locals of Luoshui County. Some are from the village, some are from the town, and their families are old and young. Now they all live in the county town.”

After waiting for a while and watching the dozen inspectors get off the boat, Xie Yunxiao stood up and called Liuzi, "Come on, take me to see the homes of those dozen yamen runners."

"okay."

Liuzi readily agreed, stood up and waved to the tea stall owner, "We're leaving."

The tea stall owner laughed and said, "It's late today, and I guess no big ship will come. Mr. He's ship won't arrive today, so I've waited in vain today, hahahaha."

Xie Yunxiao also smiled and said, "Yeah, I would like to come a few days later so that I can sit here and be lazy for a few more days."

The tea stall owner said, "Yes, yes, come back tomorrow."

As they chatted, they left the pier. Liuzi knew Luoshui County very well. He had already sorted out the routes to more than a dozen places in his mind. He took Xie Yunxiao with him and did not take any detours.

Arriving at the first house, not far from the dock, he pointed at the doorway where an old woman was sitting with two children in front of her, “That’s the old Li family, that’s his mother, she’s over 50 this year.

Those are the two sons. Lao Li has three daughters. The oldest of the three daughters is twelve years old. The two sons are five and four years old. "

"Where's his wife?"

"His wife helps the wealthy families with laundry and sewing to supplement their family income. I guess she is either cooking or working right now."

The old woman was sitting on a rattan chair at the door, and two children were squatting together, playing something. There were also neighbors next to them, probably chatting.

"Let's go to the next one."

I visited more than a dozen families in a row, and the situations in each family were similar. The people were middle-aged, with elderly parents and young children. Some had no elderly people at home, but had several children.

The place where he lived and the clothes his family members wore were all consistent with the income of a yamen runner. There was nothing particularly special about it, which meant there was nothing worthy of suspicion.

On the way back to the county government office, it was already very late and there were not many people on the street, and everyone was walking in a hurry.

Liuzi said as he walked, "These people are all locals, and I haven't heard of any family suddenly getting money, and the brothers and sisters in the family are not too far away.

Sir, the people here are all the same, and when they get married, they all go to nearby villages or towns, which are not too far away.

The list and information of the yamen runners in hand all match each other, so the suspicion is not great, but we cannot completely let our guard down.

As for the newly replaced garrison troops, they are actually the most suspicious, and the timing also matches.

Xie Yunxiao got a headache just thinking about so many people.

The next day, when they arrived at the tea stall, the owner of the stall greeted them with a smile and served them a pot of tea.

"Where is Liuzi?" the boss asked. Today, Xie Yunxiao came alone.

Xie Yunxiao poured himself some tea and yawned, "I went to buy some buns and told the boss that he was tired of your buns. I'll have to scold him later."

The boss smiled and swung his towel, "Hey, this little bastard, I'll take care of him later, brother, you drink first."

When they reached the stall, the boss called out to Xie Yunxiao again, "Hey, brother, the mutton offal vermicelli soup at the shop in front is also really delicious. The weather is getting colder, and drinking a bowl of spicy soup is really refreshing."

Xie Yunxiao followed the boss's instructions and looked over there. Indeed, there was a small restaurant over there. White smoke was coming out of it, and it was very busy with customers coming in and out.

After a while, Liuzi came back with a bag of meat buns. Before he even sat down, he asked Xie Yunxiao to send him to buy mutton offal and vermicelli soup.

When he came back, Liuzi laughed, "Brother, to be honest, I've been craving his mutton offal vermicelli soup for a long time, but I have no money. Every time I pass by his door, I have to stand for a while and smell the smell."

"Drink it." Xie Yunxiao looked at Liuzi, picked up the bowl, and drank most of it in a daze.

"Brother, you didn't get enough rest last night. You don't look very well." Liuzi took a bun and looked at Xie Yunxiao's blue eyes and the bloodshot eyes.

Xie Yunxiao shook his head and did not answer.

A large ship arrived at the dock. He looked at the registration information and found that there would be large ships arriving today and tomorrow. Judging from the cargo, these two ships were also quite valuable.

If the pirates wanted to rob, they would have to choose one of these two ships.

A large flag of the Zhou family was hung on the bow of the ship. The person who came down to register was well-dressed, a little fat, and his attitude was much more confident than the people on the boat yesterday.

More than twenty soldiers went up and checked for a full hour before coming down.

The guys on the boat had all gotten off the boat when it stopped. Liuzi said they needed to buy some things.

After the inspecting officers and soldiers got off the boat, the boatmen came back carrying bamboo baskets and carts behind them.

They brought back some rice, flour, meat and vegetables, and after checking them, they were all carried into the cabin.

The big ship did not stay for too long. After returning from the purchase, it stayed for another hour, then moved slowly and set off again.

During this period, Xie Yunxiao stared at the soldiers without blinking, and then approached the people at the registration office. He was as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He had not slept all night, but he was not sleepy at all.

He kept watching like this for three days, and from the mountain of records, Xie Yunxiao selected three suspects. He felt that if he couldn't find any clues, he would die suddenly.

County Magistrate Bai came to see Xie Yunxiao and looked at the pile of records on his desk in disbelief, "General, where did all these come from?"

Xie Yunxiao raised his head from the pile of records, his dark circles almost reaching his chin, "This is the tracking record of the past few days."

After the soldiers were stationed outside the city, they entered the city in batches in disguise. All suspects were followed for at least three days, and a record was written every day to record the whereabouts of the person being followed.

There is no way. If you want to investigate, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
