"Brother! Where is this latrine?" Han Muxin asked the yamen servant in a man's voice.

Fortunately, the yamen brother was also okay. He pointed in that direction with one hand and said: "Over there. After passing that door, turn left and go forward, then turn right, then left again, and then Turn left again, and finally turn right and you’re there.”

Hearing such words, Han Muxin, who was only ten years old, was a little confused, but he did not dare to ask more questions, mainly because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed.

Han Muxin had no choice but to pretend to understand and said thanks: "Okay, thank you big brother, thank you very much." After saying this, Han Muxin walked quickly in the direction the yamen brother said, and the maid Cen Rong hurriedly followed. behind.

Looking at the backs of the two walking, Guo really couldn't tell that they were women.

As I walked, I saw how quiet the surroundings were, and there was no shadow of the hut yet. The maid Cen Rong asked anxiously in a low voice: "Hu'er, why haven't we arrived yet?"

As soon as Cen Rong finished speaking, Miss Han Muxin stopped.

Seeing the lady stop, Cen Rong whispered with some expectancy: "Hu'er, is it here?"

Han Mu's mind turned around and he looked at Cen Rong. He shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Zhi'er, which way did the latrine he mentioned just now come from?"

Listening to Miss Han Muxin's words, maid Cen Rong's heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a long knife, and her heart beat even more violently.

"Hu'er." Cen Rong looked at Miss Han Muxin with a confused face.

Seeing this look on her face, Miss Han Muxin had no choice but to say in a low voice: "This... what he said just now was too harsh, I didn't remember it."

Seeing that there was no one here, and because I was already in a hurry, my maid Cen Rong couldn't hold on for long, so she had no choice but to look around.

Before Miss Han Muxin could say anything, the maid Cen Rong ran away and disappeared.

Seeing Cen Rong anxious, Han Muxin also felt anxious for her and walked towards the other door.

Fortunately, in the end, the hut was finally found.

At this time, Han Muxin was standing outside the hut, walking around, just to

They were helping the maid Cen Rong to serve as sentry. It was mainly because they were women who had infiltrated into the militia.

At this moment, as luck would have it, the prefect Gu Jiantong was coming this way, and he was also worried.

Seeing Han Muxin, who was disguised as a man, walking around outside the hut, the prefect Gu Jiantong, who had not noticed it, asked anxiously: "Why are you wandering around outside this hut in the middle of the night without sleeping?" After finishing speaking, the prefect Gu Jiantong was so anxious that he was about to walk to the latrine.

Seeing this, Han Muxin, who was disguised as a man, said in a male voice: "Officer, there is someone in the latrine." After shouting, Han Muxin raised his voice, for fear that the maid Cen Rong inside would hear it. He said as if he was missing: "Sir, why don't you wait a little longer."

After hearing these words, Magistrate Gu Jiantong turned around and said anxiously: "This hut can only be used by one person." After saying this, he saw Magistrate Gu Jiantong walking towards the hut without looking back.

Seeing this, Han Muxin's heart suddenly beat faster. Of course, the most nervous one was the maid Cen Rong in the latrine.

Han Muxin could only clasp her hands and silently pray for some blessings for her maid Cen Rong.

Indeed, in this situation, the maid Cen Rong can only hope for happiness.

Not long after the prefect Gu Jiantong entered the latrine, the maid Cen Rong came out safe and sound.

Seeing Cen Rong like this, Miss Han Muxin felt relieved. After walking a few steps and seeing no one coming and going around, Miss Han Muxin quietly asked the maid Cen Rong with interest: "The officer didn't find anything, did he?"

Cen Rong shook her head and smiled slightly: "No. Fortunately, the hut is in good repair. I didn't find it."

After listening to this, Miss Han Muxin finally felt at ease.

Speaking of which, maid Cen Rong is quite lucky.

There are only two huts in the yamen. One of them is mainly used by the yamen servants in the yamen. The other hut is not far from the prefect Gu Jiantong's bedroom.

As for these two huts, the one with more places is still used by the government servants. After all, there are not only a few dozen yamen servants in this government office. The one with fewer places is the other hut; to say that the hut is good, That must be done well by these officials. First of all,

The privacy measures are well protected and the hygiene is also good.

Fortunately, Cen Rong went not to the hut used by the government officials, otherwise, her identity might have been exposed.

As for the two huts in the government office, the regulations are not too strict. If you are in a hurry and go to the wrong hut, it will be fine.

After returning, the two of them sat on a pillar with no one sleeping next to them. They stayed together, sometimes squinting their eyes and sometimes opening their eyes, all for the sake of not exposing their identities.

The next day, just as Zhiwen Yonghe said, people were still waiting outside the government office. As long as they meet the requirements, they can join the militia, and those who don't can only be kicked out. With such a move, Liangcheng Mansion lasted for several days.

However, here in the capital, the orders had been issued for several days and the court officials could not wait.

No, Ding Yongchang, the second young master of Ding Mansion who had just returned from Chaoshang, hurried to his study room as before, and stayed in the study room, quietly alone.

Knowing that his son Ding Yongchang was back, Master Ding Liu couldn't sit still and hurriedly walked towards his son's study.

These days, Ding Liu is also hoping that the methods his son said will work. In this way, from now on, not only the face of his second son Ding Yongchang will be bright, but also his own face will be bright, and that is the money. You can make a fortune quietly.

"Dong dong dong." Several knocks knocked on the door of Ding Yongchang's study.

"Come in." Ding Yongchang said, then looked towards the door.

I saw my father, Ding Liu, walking in with a smile on his face.

"Dad, what's important to you?" asked his son Ding Yongchang.

Ding Liu did not answer, but asked first: "Are you... busy?"

Ding Yongchang shook his head: "Not busy."

Seeing this, Ding Liu pulled up a chair, sat on it, looked at his son Ding Yongchang, and asked: "How many days have this method been implemented? Will there be any surprises?"

Ding Yongchang shook his head: "Dad, although this method has been implemented for many days, it is not done immediately as soon as it is said. It will take time. Now it is estimated that those remote Fuzhou counties have just received the word from the court. .”
