Datang cat raising hand letter

When the curfew was about to come, Lu Wenhe entered Yu Yu's house with sweat on his brow, and drank a big pot with a teapot of mint water. Seeing his slow head sweating profusely, I thought it was really Running back and forth for Yu Yu's affairs.

Yu Yu thought that he was originally going to take the imperial examination, and he was going to Pingzhou to rendezvous and rush to the capital in a few days. He messed up the rhythm of his affairs, and there was a lot of guilt in his drooping eyebrows and eyes.

Lu Wenhe paid much attention to his cold and kind-hearted little friend. Seeing his appearance, he could guess Yu Ji's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I got a general idea from my Aye. , the problem here is not yours, but the loss of the county government’s account.”

Lu Wenhe's relaxed appearance was not as anxious as in the afternoon.

After all, the responsibility is not on Xiaoyou.

The hand of the head of household is actually the household registration document that each household head declares according to the prescribed time, registers the household registration age and land, and guarantees the authenticity of the household registration documents with the imperial court.Needless to say, the rural account is the household registration account based on actual statistics.

"A batch of hand-held rural accounts previously collected in the warehouse were lost, and the original records could not be found when checking and correcting the old and new household registrations. A few miles in the afternoon, together with the local sages, the soap servants took a group of people to Chen on the next street. The butcher's house was found in his house." Lu Wenhe ran up and down a lot in order to clarify this matter.

"How could you suspect that Butcher Chen stole it?" Yu Yu frowned.

Whether it was a stolen hand or the discovery of Chen Tuhu, it was always a little strange.As for the seemingly anticlimactic ending of this matter, it was not what Yu Xuan was concerned about.

After all, Lu Wenhe only listened to a few words from the house slave at first, and he was afraid that his little friend really had a problem with his household registration and rural accounts, and it was all out of concern.

After Lu Wenhe finished drinking the water and his impatience was appeased, he began to explain the details to Yu Yu.

Tang Wude Order: Men and women are yellow at birth, young at four years old, middle at sixteen, young at 21, and old at sixty.

Once the age is up, you need to serve separately.

There are three sons in Chen Tuhu's family. The eldest son suddenly fell ill when he was in the army. The second son suffered a foot injury when he was drafted last year.

"You also know that if the common people reach the age of eighty, they must be accompanied by a servant. There are only four or five rare ones in Shicheng County since ancient times, which is extremely rare. The youngest son of Chen Tuhu's family happens to be included in the number of servants enlisted this time." .” Lu Wenhe said while gesturing.

Yu Yu nodded, he had indeed heard about Shi Ding's matter.

For eighty-year-olds and those who are seriously ill, there is one servant, ninety-two, and three hundred-year-olds.

This is the imperial decree.

The imperial court treated those elderly people very kindly, and those who were middle-aged and above could be recruited, but those who were selected as servants were exempted from serving in vain, and only had to pay the rent transfer.

"Although it's called enlistment, it's not military service, and the court treats it kindly. Why doesn't Butcher Chen want it?" Xiao Lang asked.

Lu Wenhe sighed: "That's where the problem lies. The youngest son of the Chen family was chosen to serve as a servant to the old man of the Zhang family. He suffered a serious illness during the reign of Wu De, and he was the only one left in the thirteen members of the Zhang family. He was said to have a strange temper. It will be a waste of time. The first two servants were seriously ill by the old man. In less than three years, there have been three rotations. Do you think Chen Butcher will be happy? Although he does not need to serve, his family has already lost two male servants , but I don’t want to have any accidents anymore.”

Yu Yu was silent, he didn't ask why he didn't refuse.

Seeing the little friend's silence, Lu Wenhe stopped talking. He ate two more cups of tea before continuing, "It was accidental that Butcher Chen was discovered. This morning, Butcher Chen's wife went to Northwest Square to buy groceries. The boss talked about the big cat in your family, and then talked about the situation of each household. The lady of the Chen family said: "The young man should be soft and waxy in Wu language. Why did you raise such a vicious cat?""

At that time, Bai Shuang was coming in to give them the cakes made by Mrs. Liu in the kitchen, and she couldn't help asking, "Why is this?"

Yu Yu gnawed on the warm pastry, his voice was muffled by the sweet chewing sound: "Sister Baishuang, no one knows that I am originally from Wu dialect." Even Yu Yu didn't know much about his family's origin, but only had vague guesses.

How did Chen Tuhu's family know?

The officers responsible for the investigation traveled all over the county, recorded the collected dictation, and returned it to the county government.

When tidying up, he was seen by the old guard in the county government. He, who has been proficient in this way for many years, immediately discovered this difficult detail.I was facing Lizheng on that street, so I went to stay at Chen Butcher's house.

Lu Wenhe said with a smile: "Fortunately, all the lost hands have been found. Finally, it has nothing to do with you. It's useless to worry about it." It just so happens that the butcher's family and Yu's family are in the same place, and they were innocently affected.

Mr. Xiao Lang thought for a moment, let Bai Shuang listen to him, and after whispering something, Bai Shuang left silently.

After Yu Yu sent Bai Shuang away, his cold voice sounded faintly, "Then why does Butcher Chen know where the real household registration documents are placed? He has a good relationship with Li Zheng? These documents are supposed to be stored deep in the county office If he knows exactly where to steal it, will someone inside the yamen tell him?"

Speaking of the last sentence, he raised his eyebrows slightly, showing his sharpness.

Lu Wenhe squeezed a piece of pastry, intending to eat it, but his arms froze.

Yu Yu looked at him quietly, as if he didn't notice.

Lu Wenhe threw the pastry into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it without even tasting it.He sighed and said in a subdued voice: "You're so perceptive. I, Aye, said that the people in the yamen must have leaked the news, and I'm investigating who it is now. But I don't think there will be a follow-up."

Yu Yu pursed her lips, and there was still a confusion in her heart.What's the use of stealing the real rural account?It stands to reason that the name of the Chen family's child is already on the list, unless... Butcher Chen is sure that after this matter is done, there is a high possibility of a replacement.

Wasn't the Chen family's child on the list at the beginning?

These confusions will not be known until the county magistrate interrogates them.

Lu Wenhe could have sent someone to send a message about this matter, but Lu Wenhe still stepped on the curfew and walked this trip in person, really doing his best.Fortunately, they were residents of Tongfang. After Yu Yu thanked them again, Lu Wenhe hurriedly left with his slaves.

Yu Yu slowly finished the tea in the remaining teacup.The darkness that had been squatting silently on the top of the cabinet slid down, and its huge body was pressed against the table and remained motionless.

If Lu Wenhe knew that when he was sitting, the big cat that frightened him was squatting on top of his head the whole time, how would he feel?

Yu Yu flicked the wick of the oil lamp to make the dim light a little brighter.

Bai Shuang knocked on the door, came in and told Yu Yu what she asked her to ask just now, then frowned and said, "Xiao Langjun, does this matter hinder you?"

Yu Yu said lightly, "Sister Baishuang, the suspect has been caught, but there is nothing serious."

Bai Shuang has always been convinced of Xiao Langjun, and she believed him when he said so.After persuading Mr. Xiao Lang to rest earlier, Bai Shuang closed the door of the study.

In the bean-sized light, Yu Ji's side face could not be seen very clearly, only those clear and deep eyes were glowing with moisture, allowing the big lazy cat lying on its stomach to see clearly.

Mr. Xiao Lang rested his face on his hands, and lowered his eyebrows, not knowing where he was looking.

After a long while, Yu Ji's voice sounded almost talking to himself, "Chen Tuhu is an ordinary citizen, he doesn't know what will happen to him if he steals the real township account, but the guard who told him must know about it. It is one. Just destroying the registration documents is not enough for the government to replace the servant, there must be another stronger reason. This is the second."

Mr. Xiao Lang pursed his lips.

He just asked Sister Baishuang to ask Mrs. Liu who was in charge of the purchase.

Auntie Liu had some business contacts with Chen Tuhu, and the biggest impression of his wife was that she was very aggressive, and she kept her mouth shut.But that's the case, because she still has a charming charm, I heard that many people have some unclear flesh-and-blood relationship with her.

And she can't understand pen and ink, and doesn't know a single big character.

Those hand-made rural accounts are all recorded in words. If no one has disturbed Mrs. Chen many times in front of her, why would she go to read the hand-made rural accounts about the Yu family?Or maybe someone watched it at Chen's house and was known by Mrs. Chen?

This matter may not be as simple as the fact that it is just Chen Tuhu on the surface.

Maybe it has something to do with him.

As Yu Yu thought about it, he saw the big cat stretched its waist and yawned lazily along the way.The sharp teeth brushed against the lips, revealing the ferocity of a predator in a casual manner.
