Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 18 God Teammate Liu Er

After the people and horses took their positions, Xu Chong led the people straight to Baiyang Lane, which is the westernmost place.

All his arrangements are to show Fu Yuanlong one thing: I, Xu Chong, have nothing to do with the rebels.

Check Poplar Lane first, because there is his old house in Poplar Lane.

"Is Aunt Ma at home? I'm Xu Chong."

At the end of the alley, Xu Chong stood outside the fenced yard, shouting towards the inside.

As soon as the voice fell, the door creaked open.

"Is it Xu Xianggong?"

Aunt Ma walked out carelessly.

"Aunt Ma, the Yamen arrests suspects, every household has to be investigated, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Regarding the old neighbors in Baiyang Lane, Xu Chong didn't mind wasting a few words.

"Understand, understand."

Aunt Ma nodded repeatedly, stepped aside, and said, "Xu Xianggong, come in directly, the house is only so big, it won't waste your time."

Xu Chong nodded, and called the three yamen servants to enter the yard together.

There must be three or more people supervising each other during the house search.

This is a rule he made on purpose.

In addition, every time an alley, a street, a square, and a city are searched, two to three people will be left to form an isolation line according to the area, and then gradually increase the number of people to connect the isolation line to ensure that the rebels will not flee into the area that has been searched .

Soon, Aunt Ma's house was inspected.

Bed bottoms, rice vats, and beams.

Checked everything that could be checked.

Xu Chong took his leave and left.

"Xu Xianggong is really a good official."

Aunt Ma stood at the door and sighed.

Tangtang Dianshi actually personally led people to search from house to house, why?
It must be to prevent those yamen servants from harassing the people and stealing property.

Well, what a good officer.

Aunt Ma repeated it again in her heart.

Two quarters of an hour later, at the entrance of the alley, it was finally Xu Chong's turn to own his old house.

Many people in the team knew about Xu Chong's past, and at this time, either to flatter or show off, they spoke up one after another.

"I know this place, Mr. Xu lived here before."

"It's here. I met Mr. Xu here when I was patrolling the streets."

"At that time, I thought, it would be great if Mr. Xu could be an official, but in the end, he became one of his subordinates. I am so lucky."

"There's no need to search here. No one has lived in it for several months. It's locked, and fugitives can't get in."

"Indeed, let's go..."

At first, it was just a few yamen servants talking to themselves, but later even the white servants got involved.

These people are willing to work for the yamen voluntarily, and they already have some intentions to curry favor with them.

On weekdays, they could only curry favor with yamen servants who were not even officials. They never even thought about this kind of chance to curry favor with the third in command, so the scene gradually became exaggerated.

"Huh? Old Zheng, why don't you speak? Do you think the fugitive is hiding in Mr. Xu's house?"

"Fuck your mother's shit! Do you dare to bet with me that if the fugitive is inside, I'll chop off my head and use it as a urinal for you!"

"Tch, what's the urinal? If the fugitive is in it, I'll eat as much as you pull!"

"..."

At the beginning, Xu Chong was still immersed in the unhealthy atmosphere and was a little bit smug, but it became more and more bad as the time went on.

I don't know which ghost started it. These uneducated rough guys followed suit and began to compare the lower limit.

Xu Chong's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he hurriedly stopped: "It's just nonsense!"

With a majestic tone, everyone quickly calmed down and looked at Xu Chong.

"The official's order is very clear, every house, every household, even every tree, as long as there is a possibility of hiding people, we must investigate!"

"Did you take my words as a deaf ear?"

"Um?!"

Xu Chong's icy eyes swept across, and everyone lowered their heads one by one, silent like a cicada.

"If you understand, cheer me up and continue!"

Xu Chong raised his hand and threw the key of the old house to the people around him.

Now no one is smiling anymore, everyone is as serious as a chicken blood, and they are too serious.

Not long after, the entire alley was checked.

Xu Chong left a person guarding the entrance of the alley, and with Baiyang Alley as the center of the semicircle, he pushed towards the entire county.

Time passed slowly.

Because the search was too detailed, until night fell, only a small area in the west of the city was checked.

According to this progress, it will take ten days to conduct an investigation in the whole county.

If it's Xu's turn... probably tomorrow night.

Xu Chong led the crowd to the next place, silently calculating in his mind.

"grown ups!"

Liu Er suddenly appeared, and began to say hello from a distance.

"How did you come?"

Xu Chong frowned.

"My lord, I have discussed it with Zhao Liu, and the two of us will take turns to replace you."

Liu Er approached with a hippie smile, "Adults are human too, and they have to rest when they are tired. How can they not sleep for ten days?"

"Ok?"

Xu Chong was startled, and reacted abruptly.

It is no problem to be awake and restless for ten days.

He actually ignored such an important thing!
If the reaction was a bit late, if he was still so energetic after dawn, it would definitely make people suspicious!

Fortunately, Liu Er is here.

Xu Chong was thankful in his heart, and sternly said, "Nonsense, you and Zhao Liu have their own responsibilities, how can you change guards at will?"

"I won't go up to the city wall until noon tomorrow. When you come back after dawn, I can sleep for a while, and the same goes for Zhao Liu."

Liu Er patted his chest, "Don't worry, my lord, we will never be careless."

"just forget it…"

Xu Chong looked hesitant, "Everyone's distribution value has been arranged, and we can adjust it now, if something goes wrong..."

Yes, he arranged for the groups to supervise each other even for the scattered value and sleep.

Anyway, it is a shift, and only 200 people are resting at the same time. The vacant houses of the county government plus the staff quarters are barely enough.

"It's just a night's work, what's the matter?"

At this time someone else spoke, it was the yamen servant of the inner class, "Master Xu is impartial and selfless, and he is dedicated to his duties. We have seen it with our own eyes. It is just a rest for one night. Even if the county lord knows about it, he will not say anything."

With the first opening, there is the second chime.

"Yes, Master Xu."

"Those of us who follow behind can still exchange hands when we are tired, but you haven't rested all day, so go back quickly."

"Master Xu, don't refuse, you have to lead the team tomorrow."

"yes……"

Under continuous persuasion, Xu Chong finally nodded his head 'reluctantly'.

"That's fine, then I'll go back to the yamen to fix it first..."

"That, my lord, have you forgotten?"

Liu Er scratched his head, "There are only so many vacant rooms in the yamen, you have already given up your official building for the brothers to rest... you should go home! Well, speaking of it, my lord, it seems that you live in the yamen. It’s been three months since I went back to take a look.”

As soon as this remark came out, those who didn't know it were in awe.

Because of the official duties of the yamen, he didn't go home for three months.

What a good official this is!

"That's all there is to it."

Xu Chong nodded 'helplessly'.

That's how things settled.

After returning to the mansion, Xu Chong went straight to his room, folded his clothes and fell asleep.

Not long after, there was a slight snoring sound from the bedroom.

Until the third watch.

Xu Chong's closed eyes suddenly opened.
