Chapter 428 The Boundary Monument Disappeared

Zhang Zhouhua was still mumbling something, but Mrs. Zhang had already started snoring, so he could only turn over and sigh.

Although the locust plague caused great damage, thanks to the disaster relief efforts of Taohua Village, which set up porridge stalls to help the victims and distributed relief grain, not many people starved to death.

After this incident, people from Ancheng and You County all turned their attention to Taohua Village.

At the same time, many songs quickly became popular in these two places. Even the elderly with white hair can hum a few lines of "The End of the World, My Love"...

And no one knew who spread the news, but people in Ancheng and You County all knew the benefits of being managed by Taohua Village.

Regardless of whether the high-yield grain variety is real or not, at least many of the welfare measures in Junji Town cannot be fake.

Especially the vivid descriptions of people traveling between You County and Junji Town made the people yearn for it.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Bai Dashan received a particularly strange lost case.

"What did you say?" Bai Dashan looked surprised. He suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The person who reported the case was a patrolman from Junji Town. His face turned red with anxiety, and he gestured and said, "Stop, it's true, the boundary marker is gone!"

"We were patrolling along our usual route. The boundary marker used to be there, but we couldn't find it yesterday."

The boundary marker of Junji Town is like this, made of white oak, one meter wide and two meters long, with the words "Taohua Village Junji Town" written on it.

Putting Taohua Village in front shows its primary and secondary status.

This was the first time that Bai Dashan had encountered such a thing. He quickly came to his senses and asked, "Did it fall down, or was it pushed somewhere by a wild beast?"

The patrolman shook his head and said, "Guard, we have searched the area for more than ten miles and found nothing."

"And we've looked everywhere in town, but there's no news." Although white oak is not worth much, what if someone is so foolish as to carry the boundary marker to the market and sell it?

The loss of the boundary marker was a serious matter, so he came to report it in a hurry.

"That's strange. How could the boundary marker disappear for no reason?" Bai Dashan wondered, then said, "Okay, I understand. You continue to lead the team to look for it."

After the patrol left, Bai Dashan took out his walkie-talkie and talked to the monitoring room. Not long after, the monitoring room responded.

"It was actually taken away by someone. But what did these people want to do by taking away the boundary marker?" Bai Dashan talked to himself. He called Bai Youyi and asked him to take people to investigate.

The loss of the boundary marker is no trivial matter. It concerns the reputation of Junji Town, or more precisely, the reputation of Taohua Village.

A few days later, Bai Youyi brought news that the boundary marker was found in a township under You County.

When Zhang Zhouhua was brought to the boundary marker, he was confused: "This?"

Bai Youyi: "A few days ago, our boundary marker was lost, and it appeared here..."

After a pause, Bai Youyi coughed twice and continued, "The people in this township said they are from Junji Town and have nothing to do with You County."

"Ah?" Zhang Zhouhua was dumbfounded when he heard this. What? Which fool came up with this idea?

The name of this township is Xiaotao Township. When the township chief heard the news, he also rushed over.

He probably did his homework. Bai Youyi had brought people here to provide disaster relief and drive away locusts before, and they had met each other before, so this man rushed towards Bai Youyi decisively.

"Sir, you are finally here. We are from Junji Town. Please take a look at the household registration book. When will you be free to prepare it for us?"

Before Bai Youyi could say anything, Zhang Zhouhua spoke first: "When did your Xiaotao Township become Junji Town?"

He, the parent official of You County, is still here. How could he not know that Xiaotao Township belongs to You County? "We are originally here." The head of Xiaotao Township glanced at Zhang Zhouhua and said firmly: "Didn't you see that the boundary markers are all here?"

Zhang Zhouhua opened his mouth to say something, but the head of Xiaotao Township said, "We are talking about boundary markers, nothing else is allowed."

This immediately stopped Zhang Zhouhua from talking: "You..."

However, the head of Xiaotao Township looked at Bai Youyi again and asked with a smile, "Sir, how long does it usually take to get the household registration booklet?"

Bai Youli also had some impression of Xiaotao Township. There were many peaches on the mountain, and he even found a fast horse to send some back to Taohua Village for his aunt to taste.

But I didn't expect that they would do such a bold thing.

Bai Youyi answered subconsciously: "After registration, it will be issued in three to five working days."

"Okay." The head of Xiaotao Township responded immediately, and then asked carefully: "Sir, what does working day mean?"

Bai Youyi: "Oh, so a month is divided into four weeks, and a week has seven days. Among these seven days, there are five working days..."

Upon hearing this for the first time, not to mention the head of Xiaotao Township, even Zhang Zhouhua was confused, but this did not prevent the head of Xiaotao Township from nodding in agreement.

The head of Xiaotao Township thought to himself, who cares if it takes a few days? It’s not a working day. If it doesn’t work, just stay a few more days. It will be fine as long as it can be done eventually.

"Well, you guys..." Bai Youli didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everyone present knew what was going on, but the boundary marker is now here, and you can’t say it’s useless, otherwise where would Taohua Village put its reputation?

"Wait for me first!"

Bai Youyi said this and walked aside.

When he came back, under the expectant gaze of the head of Xiaotao Township, he coughed twice and said, "According to the records, Xiaotao Township is indeed..."

At this point, Bai Youli was a little speechless. You County and Junji Town were bordering each other, but You County did not really belong to Junji Town.

But now the boundary marker is here, and the head of Xiaotao Township is so confident. Even if we know that this is an act of cheating, it will not do any harm to Taohua Village.

Just now, Bai Youyi walked aside to ask Bai Dashan for instructions about this situation.

Bai Dashan thought for a few minutes and said, "Everything depends on the boundary marker."

We can't say it doesn't count, otherwise Taohua Village will be looked down upon in the future. With the Baiyu Army on hand, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, it won’t be long before Ancheng and You County will be taken over. The situation in Xiaotao Township is just an advance.

Not convinced?

If you don't accept it, just beat me into submission!

"We were too busy before and didn't take care of you. Someone from the Household Registration Office will come over in the next two days to help you get your household registration."

Bai Youyi said with a slight smile: "In the next two days, ask each household in the village to report their family situation to avoid omissions during the registration."

Although the head of Xiaotao Township spoke with confidence, he was actually very nervous.

But he knew that he had no choice but to cling on now, otherwise, he would have no chance to climb up to Junji Town in the future.

Anyway, the boundary marker is here. No matter how it is moved here, we just have to stick to the boundary marker.

At this moment, upon hearing Bai Youli's words, the head of Xiaotao Township immediately grinned so hard that his teeth were exposed.
