After a while, the prefect Gu Jiantong asked: "Does Wen Tongzhi have anything else to do?"
After listening, Wen Tongzhi smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "No, no. This is what I came here for. In that case, I will go back first."
"Okay." Magistrate Gu responded.
Seeing that after Tongzhi Wen Yonghe walked out, the prefect Gu Jiantong started to be busy again. After a while, the prefect Gu Jiantong called out.
"Yuan Chuang!"
"Yuan Chuang!"
"Yuan Chuang?!"
After shouting three times, I heard an echo.
"Coming! Coming!" The servant Yuan Chuang responded loudly and hurried over.
After running in, Yuan Chuang gasped and looked at the prefect Gu Jiantong.
"Come here." Magistrate Gu Jiantong said first.
After listening, Yuan Chuang, who was still out of breath, took a few steps forward.
"How many more days will it take for that matter?" Magistrate Gu Jiantong asked in a low voice.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chuang just whispered in the ear of the prefect Gu Jiantong: "Today is the third day, and we will arrive in two more days."
After listening, Gu Jiantong nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Okay. Pay attention to their movements in the past few days. If you find anything strange, tell me."
"Okay, sir." Yuan Chuang responded.
Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, the prefect Gu Jian came over and said, "Go down."
"Okay, sir. I'll take my leave." After saying this, the servant Yuan Chuang took a few steps back and then turned and left.
Early the next morning, the government office was as busy as ever.
I saw yamen servants walking around in the yamen, and some officials were walking around holding some books in their hands.
There was another official walking towards the house of the prefect Gu Jiantong.
Yes, it was none other than Tongzhi Wen Yonghe.
"Come in." After saying this, he looked at fellow magistrate Wen Yonghe who came in. Before Wen Tongzhi could say anything, magistrate Gu Jiantong said first: "Wen Tongzhi, you're here just in time. Just now, take it. The letter sent to the provincial capital, Liu Zhifu, said that in order to prevent those who pretended to be fake and joined the militia, the court specifically said a lot about strict investigation in this letter.

plan. Look. "After finishing speaking, the prefect Gu Jiantong moved the letter to the table.
Looking at the letter, Tongzhi Wen Yonghe hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the letter, and read it.
After looking at it, colleague Wen Yonghe asked: "Prefect Gu, do you think this physical examination is a bit redundant? When recruiting people, can't both men and women not see it?"
Listening to the words of Tongzhi Wen Yonghe, the prefect Gu Jiantong smiled slightly: "It's not redundant. Wen Tongzhi still underestimated their abilities. Some people are very good at this."
"That's what Magistrate Gu said."
After a while, the prefect Gu Jiantong asked: "What important matter do you come to see me for?"
After hearing this, Wen Tongzhi smiled slightly: "This is what I came here to do. Since we have listed so many methods for strict investigation, where does Magistrate Gu think we should start?"
After thinking about it for a while, Magistrate Gu said: "Let's start with the physical examination. Once the physical examination is completed, the remaining few will be easy to deal with."
"Okay, that being the case, I will go and get busy."
"good."
At this time, the eligible men in the backyard were still eating porridge.
This porridge is not thin at all, nor thick at all. Although it only has white rice and no other ingredients, it is still good.
Because the men were eating the porridge, they had no time to exchange words. In short, it can be said that there was no sound of discussion, only the sound of sucking when drinking the porridge.
Just as they were eating porridge, their colleague Wen Yonghe came towards them.
As soon as they saw an official walking towards this side, the men who were drinking porridge looked at the colleague Wen Yonghe who was walking over.
Seeing the pairs of eyes looking at him, Tongzhi Wen Yonghe said: "Dear fellow villagers, I want to tell you something. Maybe you have been here for a few days and are a little bored. No, today The matter of recruiting militiamen is over. We just received a letter from the provincial capital, and the higher-ups here request that everyone be inspected."
As soon as they heard the word "check", Han Muxin and Cen Rong, who were sitting among them, felt a little nervous. Fortunately, the bowls they held in their hands did not shake, and they were still very calm on the outside.
"What are you checking? What you are checking is to see if there are any fraudsters. Just now I read the letter. It said that people who are sick are afraid of joining in, and there are also people who are not selling food.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There is another way to prevent powerful people from joining, which is to prevent women from pretending to join. "
Hearing this last item, Han Muxin and Cen Rong became even more panicked.
"Okay, that's the details. Let's finish the meal quickly and come to the front yard of the Yamen later." After saying this, his colleague Wen Yonghe turned around to leave.
Before they had walked a few steps, a man loudly asked: "Officer! What are you doing first?"
"Examination." Tongzhi Wen Yonghe turned around and looked at the man. When he saw that he had nothing to say, he walked away.
At this time, the maid Cen Rong, who was sitting on the stone ridge, ate the porridge in the bowl with big mouthfuls.
After eating, looking at the young lady Han Muxin on the side, Cen Rong's nervous and frightened hands quietly pulled Han Muxin's clothes.
After seeing this, Han Muxin looked at Cen Rong and saw that Cen Rong was a little nervous. Han Muxin held Cen Rong's hand with one hand. Although he did not speak, this action seemed to make Cen Rong not want to. nervous.
After calming down a bit, Cen Rong's heart beat faster when she looked at the bowl that had been licked clean, and then at the young lady who was still eating porridge.
After eating, he put the bowl aside and looked at Cen Rong, Han Muxin stood up.
Seeing Miss Han Muxin stand up, Cen Rong also stood up.
Seeing that several men were already heading towards the front yard of the Yamen, Han Muxin already knew in her heart that this could not be concealed, and the only way now was to escape from here.
If it hadn't been for the man's question just now, Han Muxin might not have known that the first thing he did was a physical examination. If it came to that time, even if Han Muxin had thousands of ways, he probably wouldn't be able to hide this physical examination. .
As a maid, Cen Rong had no choice but to follow Miss Han Muxin.
I saw maid Cen Rong following Miss Han Muxin quickly towards the front yard of the Yamen.
When I came to the front yard of the yamen, I saw that the yamen servants were walking around here, and the petty officials were also walking around. There were a lot of people.
At this time, the two of them were extremely nervous. From the beginning, they never thought that there would be a physical examination.
Risking his scalp, Han Muxin took his maid Cen Rong towards the gate of the government office.
Unexpectedly, the government officer actually stopped the two of them.
"What are you going to do?"
