The servants served hot tea.
It wasn’t until the servant left that Xue Yan cupped his hands towards Fang
Yiming and said, “Yiming, we came here today to ask you a favor.”
Actually, Jiang Yue could also bring him to the county office to check the household register, but that would have to wait until night, which would be very inconvenient. Yiming was the County Magistrate, so it would be easy for him to let them see the register in a shorter time. Therefore, they decided that it would be most convenient to ask Yiming.
“What is it? You can speak frankly.” Fang Yiming smiled at him.
“We want to see our county’s household register. We want to know where the two of them went and where they are in our county.”
“This is a small matter.” Fang Yiming immediately agreed. Since his good friend had lowered his voice, he knew that this matter should not be known by others. He did not ask too much. He knew that his good friend would not harm him, and he firmly believed that his good friend would not harm others. He just smiled and said, “Perfect timing. I’m off today. Other than a few officers who are on duty today, there’s no one else in the place where the files and books are kept. The main registrar isn’t here.”
“Thank you, Yiming.” Xue Yan was extremely grateful for the trust.
“What are you talking about? This is but a small matter. Quickly follow me. ‘ Fang Yiming led the way. He didn’t let the servants follow him, just the three of them.
Jiang Yue felt that even though Fang Yiming and the others had a large age gap with Xue Yan, their friendship as classmates with Xue Yan was really good.
There was a place in the county office that was especially used to store files, books, and other items. At this moment, they were all locked.
Apart from the registrar, Fang Yiming, the County Magistrate, also had a key. The County Magistrate had a key so that he could check anything he needed immediately without delay.
Because it was a day off, the registrar and the others weren’t there. The officers who were on duty today were in front guarding the building, not at the back. That was why Fang Yiming could smoothly bring Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the back rooms.
In this room was the household register of many residences.
Fang Yiming took a bunch of keys from his waist and found the key to open the door. He unlocked the door and walked in while saying, “The shelves are all pasted with how to classify them. You can find them yourself. If you need help, just let me know.”
“Alright.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both agreed.
Although the Wei family had gone to the Changyu area in the first half of the year, there were still some records in the household register here. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan found the Wei family’s household register not long after.
Xue Yan opened the household register of the Wei family. The last page of this household register indicated that the person had gone to Changyu, Heshi County. Then, a large red cross was drawn at the back, indicating that there would be no more records in this register. If one wanted to find the household register of the Wei family in the future, one would have to go to Heshi County.
There would be a new record of the Wei family in Heshi County.
The government was very strict with the household registration of the servants. Generally, the servants who were bought and sold would be registered in the household registration of the family, indicating that they were servants of the family.
Laicai and Xiuhua used to be servants of the Wei family, so there were records of them in the household register.
At the end of the record, it was noted that the two of them had been dismissed by the Wei family five years ago and were no longer servants of the Wei family. Therefore, there was a red cross at the end of the records of these two people as well..
