Chapter 207: The Eighth Mission - The New Five Immortals 11
While Mo Yiyi was thinking about it, the carriage had already staggered to the Yamen.
After getting off the carriage, Mo Yiyi entered the Yamen with Double Happiness Red Flowers.
They had an unimpeded journey along the way, and soon arrived at the inner courtyard of the Yamen, where the monks who guarded the county lived.
This was Mo Yiyi's first time visiting a place like this. The interior of this small courtyard was actually an array eye, the core of the entire county's array.
The moment Mo Yiyi stepped in, she felt the spiritual power being pulled away from her body. She understood after a little sensing.
The monks who guard the county live here not only to better control and sense the situation of the magic circle, but the most important thing is to provide the spiritual power for the basic operation of the magic circle!
Shuangxi and Honghua also had their spiritual power taken away after they came in. This feeling was not good. Even if they followed the spiritual power that was taken away, Shuangxi and Honghua sensed it and knew that this was not a trap or danger.
Still frowning, looking very unhappy.
Mo Yiyi continued to walk forward. The small courtyard was not big, just one room. The door was open now. As soon as Mo Yiyi came in, she saw the county guard monk who was sitting in the room meditating, and the monk who was sitting cross-legged.
Several children beside him.
After Mo Yiyi came in, the monk opened his eyes, and when he saw her, a smile appeared on his face.
"Friend Daoist Mo."
Mo Yiyi nodded to him, thought for a while and then replied.
"Fellow Taoist, you are well."
The monk did not get up, he still looked like he was meditating.
He might also know that his behavior was a bit rude, so he put a trace of apology on his face and explained to Mo Yiyi.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Mo, I'm providing spiritual power for the magic circle, so I can't get up to greet you now."
"It doesn't matter. Do you have any news that our Taoist friend came to us this time?"
The monk nodded, thought for a while and then said.
"I think I need to share the news this time with three fellow Taoists."
After saying this, he paused, as if he was trying to organize his words, but also as if he was having a hard time speaking.
After several breaths, he slowly opened his mouth.
"This incident has involved several counties. The imperial court has been aware of it and is taking control of the situation. They want to catch all the people behind it. Although what I say may make it difficult for you fellow Taoists to understand, I still hope that the three
Fellow Taoist, could you please stop interfering in this matter and don't investigate further, so as not to alert the enemy?"
This is to tell the three of them to stop meddling in their own business!
…
When Mo Yiyi left with Honghua Double Happiness, their expressions were almost exactly the same.
Mo Yiyi's face was paralyzed, while Shuangxi and Honghua were unhappy.
However, as for Mo Yiyi, she already had other concerns in her mind.
When she was about to walk out of the inner courtyard, Noila Mo turned back and glanced at the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big, but it can be considered a place full of spiritual energy in this mortal world.
She looked at it deeply for a long time, then raised her steps and walked out.
The county government office seemed to be very empty. Mo Yiyi didn't see anyone when she brought people in or out. She was almost leading people to the gate when she saw the government servant who had reported the news to her happily entering the government office door.
Because they were walking back, the yamen servant was not as fast as Mo Yiyi and the others.
Mo Yiyi was planning to leave now, and he just came back.
Seeing Mo Yiyi's generous master, the yamen servant suddenly smiled. Seeing that they were going out, he quickly turned aside to make way for her.
But Mo Yiyi stopped when she saw him again. The yamen servant looked at Mo Yiyi and looked at him. He was also smart and knew that Mo Yiyi had something to tell him, so he took two steps forward and smiled.
Extraordinarily brilliant.
"Miss Mo, do you have any other instructions?"
Mo Yiyi reached into her wide sleeves and pretended to take something from the sleeves, but she actually took a silver melon seed from the storage compartment.
She stretched out her hand, and the yamen servant quickly opened his hand to catch it. The silver melon seeds fell into his hand. When he saw it, the smile on his face became more sincere!
Although silver melon seeds are not big, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. What’s more, such a big silver melon seed is not a mosquito leg itself!
How could he not be happy if he could get extra gains?
"Miss Mo, you said that as long as it is a small one, I will definitely do it beautifully for Miss Mo!"
"On the way to your county, I rescued two women with miserable life experiences. These two women are not from our county. They had bad luck and suffered a lot. Now that I have rescued them, I want to
To pull them out of their original quagmire and give them a new identity..."
The yamen officer immediately understood that he wanted to resettle those two women!
This matter could be big or small. At that moment, the Yamen servant hesitated and had a troubled look on his face.
Mo Yiyi continued to dig into her sleeves, and this time she took out a golden bean.
Mo Yiyi also placed the golden beans in the palm of the yamen servant.
"I know this may be a bit difficult, but if you can help me get it done..."
Mo Yiyi didn't say anything further, but in the palm of her hand, the soybean-sized, shining golden beans expressed what she hadn't said on behalf of Mo Yiyi!
Looking at the golden beans in the palm of his hand, the yamen servant's eyes almost popped out of his head!
Now he put his palms together, and the smile on his face became flattering again.
"Of course, I will definitely help Miss Mo handle this matter. But... Miss Mo should also know that this matter is not easy to handle. If anything happens in the future, many people will be held responsible.
so……"
The yamen servant looked at Noila Mo and rubbed his fingers repeatedly. Mo Yiyi understood and asked.
"How much?"
"One hundred taels! If Miss Mo is willing to pay one hundred taels of silver, I will definitely help arrange the identities of these two people... Miss Mo, don't dislike the price of one hundred taels. I don't ask for it casually. In fact,
This is a matter that needs to be taken care of by too many people."
Is this expensive?
expensive!
In fact, there are many ways to settle in other places. One of the most convenient ways is to register as a refugee in the county seat and then change your household registration!
Under normal circumstances, the Yamen will not apply for refugee status, but if they can give you some money and manage it, it will only cost seven or eight taels, and you can get two at most 10 taels.
Because the settlement of refugees is indeed one of the imperial policies, and it is a reasonable and legal method of settlement.
However, this method of settlement has a drawback, which is that the parties need to provide their original place of household registration.
Cuilan and Da Niu were brought out by Mo Yiyi from the Sinner Village. Where do they have their original household registration?
Even if there is, their original household registration cannot be determined.
It is even more inappropriate to make random statements, because the information on settling in as a refugee must be verified, and the verification results must be filed and confirmed by the household registration official of the original household registration.
If this road doesn't work for both of them, they can only take another road, which is to settle in a black household.
There is a large population in the mortal world, and there are always some people who hide in the mountains for one reason or another, and then marry wives and have children in the mountains, multiplying a large population.
These people rarely register with the county government, so they gradually become black households.
Since you need to pay back taxes when you settle down under a black household, and the process is not complicated, the government office is still more willing to settle down a black household.
But by settling in a black household, the two women together can't even use fifty taels of tax money.
Mo Yiyi knew that the yamen officer wanted to give her fifty taels of money, so it was enough for him to take out ten taels for the household registration officials, and the rest was his own money.
Mo Yiyi knew it, but she didn't say anything and happily took two gold ingots.
One gold ingot costs five taels, and two gold ingots equals ten taels of gold, which is exactly one hundred taels of silver.
This heavy gold ingot fell into the hands of the yamen servant, and the yamen servant was all smiles! He kept saying good, and he would definitely help Mo Yiyi handle this matter properly!
Noila Mo was noncommittal, but when he was happiest, he asked as if inadvertently.
"There are a lot of houses in the county, but there don't seem to be many people."
The yamen servant was currently happy that he had made a lot of money today. He couldn't restrain himself from being happy. He didn't think much after hearing Mo Yiyi's words and answered directly.
"What's wrong, all the young people in the county have gone out to work, so I think there are fewer people there. In fact, there are not many people in our county, and people come and go every year during the New Year and festivals!"
"Working? Where did you go to work?"
"Hey, you don't know. In Wendu City, it is said that the city wall of Wendu City needs to be strengthened. They also plan to build a high tower and dig a river. There is a special shortage of people! It is a big city over there and the wages are high. This news is still
A businessman from our county came back and said that many young men followed him out!"
Mo Yiyi's big eyes slowly narrowed, and a bad premonition arose in her heart again.
But this was in the county government office. She didn't say anything. She nodded as if she was just curious, and then left the county government office with Double Happiness Red Flower.
The yamen servant didn't think there was anything wrong, so he took the gold and planned to go to work for Mo Yiyi.
It would be better for the young lady of this noble family not to wait. When he helps to finish this matter properly, and then sends it to her, she will definitely get another reward!
The yamen servant was so happy that he walked towards the inner yamen, but he didn't expect to meet Li Captou head-on!
The yamen servant quickly stuffed the gold ingot in his hand into his arms, and then walked over to say hello to Capt. Li!
Capt. Li's dark eyes scanned the yamen servant's chest, which was bulging. He saw it but had no reaction, and just asked him.
"What did that little girl say to you?"
The yamen servant covered the two gold ingots through his clothes and was questioned by Capt. Li. His expression was sly. Finally he gritted his teeth and touched in his arms, and found out the silver peanut he had obtained before.
It was stuffed into Capt. Li's hand.
"That's not it. Isn't it that Miss Mo wants to settle the two women she rescued in our county? As you know, this kind of settlement is particularly troublesome. I have to get rid of these things. I actually
I can also save some shoe money for running errands.”
Putting the silver peanut into Capt. Li's hand, Capt. Li looked at the silver peanut and then at the yamen servant. His somewhat fat face was still expressionless.
"What did she say to you? What did you say to her again?"
Perhaps Capt. Li was too serious, and the government officials who looked at him couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and quickly shook their heads to answer.
"No, no, no, we just talked about settling in. What can this new nobleman ask my yamen servant about?"
The yamen officer fumbled for the gold ingot in his arms through his clothes. He thought repeatedly about where Mr. Li was standing and the angle he was looking at. He wondered whether the money-grubbing Mr. Li had clearly seen the gold ingot he was holding in his hand.
.
He knew that the ingot in his arms could not be hidden, it was just a thin layer of fabric, and outsiders could definitely see the shape clearly.
But the value of gold ingots and silver ingots are different.
If Capt. Li hadn't seen it, then he would have thought that what he held in his arms was a silver ingot.
Ten taels of silver ingot were used to create a household registration for two outsiders. He really didn't make much with this money.
But if Capt. Li knew that the thing in his arms was Jin Yuanbao, then...
The yamen servant was still thinking about it at the moment, but he suddenly saw the enlarged face of Capt. Li out of the corner of his eye!
The yamen servant was startled when he suddenly saw it. He almost lost his balance while retreating and sat down on the ground!
Capt. Li kept looking at his panic with his head stretched out. It wasn't until the young yamen servant turned pale with fright and was sweating profusely that he slowly stood up straight and then confessed coldly.
"Get this done quickly, and don't have any contact with that person after it's done."
The yamen servant was so frightened that he subconsciously asked after hearing what Mr. Li said.
"Why."
Capt. Li stared at him with his dark eyes for a long time, which made him shrink his head again. When he was feeling anxious, he suddenly turned around and left directly!
Capt. Li looked at the government servant inexplicably, and Mo Yiyi in the carriage also put down the water mirror in his hand at this time.
Originally, she used a water mirror to check the county government office because she felt something was unusual.
But she didn't want her to discover something terrible because of this inspection!
Mo Yiyi put away the water mirror. Fortunately, her detection instrument was of a high level and there were no powerful people in the county government office, so no one discovered it.
But there is no guarantee that there will be some people who are too sensitive to other people's sight, so she doesn't plan to use the water mirror to check!
What happened in the water mirror was also seen by Shuangxi and Honghua, who were sitting in the same carriage, but they were not like Mo Yiyi. They were ordinary people, and they were not the owners of the water mirror. As for what was inside the water mirror,
The picture can still be perceived.
They simply watched a section of the scene and didn't feel anything after watching it.
So along the way, the two of them had to eat and drink. When they arrived outside the gate of Mo Mansion, they wiped their lips and got out of the car.
Just looking at Double Happiness and Red Flowers, you won’t find anything to discover.
There was only No Yiyi, with a paralyzed face. After getting off the carriage, her eyes first glanced at the sparrow resting on the head of the stone lion at the door, and then looked at the sparrow landing on the branch, without doing anything.
