Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 57
"County government office?" Ganoderma lucidum was confused for a moment.

Li Quan gave her a look of "Why are you so stupid": "Household registration records! The county government must have them. My father is a merchant, so there must be tax records and documents that he has applied for when he went out."

Lingzhi was dumbfounded by these words. She never expected that a six-year-old child would have such an understanding, and in the face of such a sudden major change, she could make a plan in such an orderly manner. "You're so smart." She said convincingly.

"Of course!" Li Yu snorted softly, "Have you thought about what to say later?"

"Ah? What?"

"Yamen servant! You don't think we can just walk in like this?"

"What should I do?"

"You are so much older than me, why do you still want me to teach you?"

Ganoderma lucidum murmured: "I... I just came from the countryside." She just came to Chang'an, and she couldn't find her way by herself, so how could she bring a child around to find someone.

Li Quan couldn't bear to hold his forehead, sighed, and said, "Just say that..."

A moment later, at the gate of the county government office.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Facing the questioning from the yamen servant, Lingzhi stammered about the lines Li Guan taught her: "I met two officials. I picked up this child on the street. He couldn't find a home, so I asked the two officials for help. "

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Outside Shengpingfang."

"Then you'll know if you ask in the workshop."

"I just searched around, but I didn't find anyone I knew."

"Where's Fang Zheng?"

"I've asked, but Fangzheng doesn't know this kid either. So I wanted to ask the official for help. It's poor if he can't go home after dark."

"We don't care about this! Besides, we have nothing to do."

"Can you ask the official to show us the household registration records, maybe we can find out the parents of this child."

"Go, go! Is that something that outsiders can easily see? You can go back to the workshop and ask. I guess it will take a few more rounds."

"Master..."

Ganoderma lucidum was begging bitterly, when a man in official uniform came out from the county hall, "What's the matter?"

"Master Xue!"

After the yamen servant briefly explained the reason, the man thought about it and agreed: "It's not a big deal, let them in."

It turned out that this person was Xue Ping, the sihuzuo of Wannian County, who specialized in household registration, taxation, warehouse payment and other affairs.Li Quan didn't know whether his idea would work or not at first, but he didn't expect that the blind cat met a dead mouse, and when he wanted to doze off, he actually found a pillow.

Xue Ping brought the two of them to the archives, and asked friendlyly, "What's your name?"

"Li Quan."

Hearing this, Xue Ping frowned almost imperceptibly.But Lingzhi noticed. "What's the matter, Lord Xue?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just don't have much memory of the kid's name." He bent down and asked, "Where's your father?"

"Father."

"Mother, do you know what your last name is?"

"Just call me Auntie."

"...What about your home address?"

"Shengpingfang. He has an impression of the vicinity of Shengpingfang, but he can't tell where he lives." Lingzhi said quickly, admiring him secretly.Li Quan is really a big kid, and after thinking about it, since she asked her to lie that he was lost, he should naturally be a stupid kid who doesn't know anything.

Xue Ping nodded: "The Li family in Shengpingfang, okay, I'll look it up."

Li Quan still insisted on squeezing in to read the files together as he did in the school.

"Are you literate?"

"do not know!"

"He's just curious." Lingzhi sneered.

Xue Ping smiled tolerantly, and did not chase anyone away. He pointed out a few families according to the records, "Li Xian? Li Erwa? Li Ke?"

Li Quan shook his head.

"Li Changfu? Li Shiba? There are only a few households named Li in Shengpingfang. There are really no more."

As Xue Ping searched, Li Quan's face became more and more ugly.

"Think about it again, can you remember your parents' names, or where the houses are next to each other?"

"Li You! My father's name is Li You!" Li Yu was in a state of confusion, and finally couldn't help it, and blurted out anxiously.

"...Not really. I think you may have misremembered."
