Chapter 456 456.Check

The county magistrate also stood outside the crowd and watched from a distance, very interested in the sudden appearance of such a group of people, but he did not stop the grain selling.

After all, it is a good thing for the people, and it is also a good thing for him. When the people have food in their hands, it will be less likely to cause trouble. On the contrary, not only will they not stop him, but they also hope that this person can stay in the town for a longer time. In this way He could also relax.

Next to "Sir", Hu Yatou clasped his fists, "Do you want me to go check it out?"

At this time, such a person suddenly appeared with a lot of food. Although he was doing a good thing, his behavior was really difficult to explain. Even if Hu Hu was just a government official, he couldn't help but think about it.

Liu Yongping nodded, "Quietly, find out where these people came from."

"Yes" Hu Hu nodded.

"Leave those who patrol, you can also go and line up." This opportunity is rare, and the county magistrate naturally does not want his men to go hungry.

Hu Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. In addition to arranging two people to protect the adults and four people to patrol, the rest of the people also hurriedly lined up.

When the people saw that there were government officials behind them, they all hurriedly wanted to give up their seats, but Hu Hu waved his hand and refused.

"Everyone in their own row, don't worry about us."

Hu Hu is also a celebrity in Shanggu Town. Everyone knows him. Although he looks serious and makes people afraid to approach him, he is still a good person. He is not the kind of official who bullies the people, uses power for personal gain, and treats the people as human beings.

Seeing him say this, the people in the front row really didn't move.

Sure enough, after the purchase limit, I lasted longer than last time. Although there were still people who were not in line, there were more people taking their turn.

After handing the purchased grain to the family nearby, Hu Hu and the two of them stared at the owner of the oxcart from a distance. When they left, Hu Hu and his people followed him.

It was already dark when the two of them came back, and they hurriedly went back to life regardless of their hungry stomachs.

"I'm back, take a seat." The county magistrate looked at the dusty Hu Hu and gestured.

"Don't worry, let's eat something first." He didn't come back until this time. It was obvious that he was working hard, so he immediately called people to prepare food.

A bowl of meat and vegetable porridge and a large flour pancake were considered a good meal. The meat was bought by the locals at the oxcart owner's stall in Xia Noon.

Hu Hu was indeed hungry, and he didn't show any pretense. He sat down obediently, took the food, and wolfed it down, finishing it in a moment.

"Sir, you would never guess where the oxcart owners came from..." Hu Hu couldn't wait to speak in response to the county magistrate's gaze.

"You mean Huajia Village at the foot of Qinggu Mountain." The county magistrate thought for a moment and thought about it.

"If this subordinate has not admitted his mistake, he should be."

The reason why it should be said is that Hu Hu was really shocked by the tall wall outside Huajia Village. If he hadn't confirmed it repeatedly and even touched it with his hands, he would have thought he had seen it wrong.

After all, I have been working as a clerk in Shanggu Town for many years. I am familiar with almost all the villages here. I even visited Huajia Village in person. The terrain has changed slightly due to flooding, but the general direction should be That's right.

But...the original Huajia Village didn't have such a high wall. The appearance of the wall at this time was really unbelievable, so I couldn't wait to come back without waiting much longer.

"Tell me carefully..." Mr. Liu corrected himself.

"That's it, sir..." Hu Hu then stated his findings without adding any embarrassment.

"There's an extra wall...that's right." Mr. Liu was also surprised.

"No, my subordinate really saw it and even touched it himself." Hu Hu nodded firmly.

"Here comes..." Liu Yongping shouted outside.

"Sir," a police officer bowed his head.

"Go and see if the official in charge of household registration is still there. If so, ask him to bring the household registration book to see my official." "Yes..."

Liu Yongping glanced at Hu Hu again, "Do you still remember if anyone from Huajia Village came to collect grain seeds more than a year ago?"

Liu Yongping was busy with too many things. This matter had always been supervised by Hu Yatou, which was really unimpressive.

Hu Hu thought seriously, then shook his head decisively.

"Sir, if I remember correctly, I probably didn't come here. Huajia Village is one of the largest villages in Shanggu Town. Although it is located in a remote place, life is not bad. The village is very big and there are many people. If I come here, I will There will definitely be an impression.”

"Go...ask my subordinates if anyone has been to Huajia Village in the past two years?"

"Yes..." After hearing this, Hu Hu stood up and walked out quickly.

There are almost all the officials in the mansion, so it is not difficult to ask. At this time, except for those who stayed on duty, everyone else has gone home.

Hu Hu went out and hurriedly called someone and asked him to notify the mansion's police to return home.

Not many messengers who knew how to call people also came with official documents.

"Sir, the official letter has arrived."

"Come in……"

"The official secretary Sun Shangcheng has met your Excellency."

If Qin Dagen were here, he would definitely recognize this person as the scholar who followed the people outside the town's mansion to request the government to distribute relief grains more than a year ago.

Because he was serious about his work and a scholar, he was eventually retained by Mr. Liu.

Liu Yongping waved his hand at the person who made the move: "No need to be polite. I called you here because I have something to ask. Please carefully look for Huajia Village registered in the household register last year."

"Yes" Sun Shangcheng accepted the order, but frowned slightly and quickly looked through the book in his hand.

It was a coincidence, because during the day I got news that grain was being sold in the town, and many people from their village came over and bought it. But who would object to the large amount of grain? Heard that the owner of the oxcart would continue to set up a stall tomorrow, so he simply He just took the money his father handed him and stayed at the Yamen in the town. He waited until he could ask for leave tomorrow and queue up early, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch this young man today, but Huajia Village seemed a bit familiar.

If his memory was correct, he seemed to have heard that the owner of the car was Huajiacun.

Sun Shangcheng flipped through the pages very quickly. Although he was fast, he could see every page clearly. He gradually flipped through a thick book, but... he was afraid that he would make some mistakes and read through it again. I slowly closed the book until I still didn't see the results I wanted.

"Sir, there are no records of Huajia Village."

"OK." Liu Yongping took the booklet and turned it over himself.

"My subordinates are sure." Sun Shangcheng is still very confident in himself. Although he ended up as a scholar, his eyesight and memory have always been good. He just lacks spirituality for reading. Of course, it is too hard for his family to support him. reason.

Liu Yongping flipped through it himself and found that he did not see any record of Huajia Village in the car brochure. This shows that Huajia Village did not seek help from the imperial court more than a year ago.

While thinking about it, Hu Hu's voice sounded outside again.

"Sir, people have brought it."

"Come in."

Then Hu Hu led two government servants into the adult's study.

"Sir," Hu Hu said, "More than a year ago, Li Sanweidong went to Huajia Village when he distributed medicinal materials."

The county magistrate looked at the two government officials, one tall and one short, standing next to Hu Hu. At this moment, the two of them also saluted.
