Thief Emperor

Chapter 24 Let’s settle things!
Village leader Li walked all the way to a bend before he let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, he just discovered that Gu Cheng seemed to recognize him, so he was more careful and followed him at a distance!
These scholars have really dirty hearts!
Li Yun's identity cannot withstand investigation.

In other words, whether it is Li Yun or Li Zhao, the identities of the "two people" cannot withstand investigation, because neither of them actually has an identity.

He doesn't even have a household registration.

This means that once someone checks his identity, as long as they have some connections, they can find out that he has no identity and is an illegal resident.

Li Yun took this dangerous trip to Qingyang just to solve this problem, because although Qingyang was only a county-level government office, it was still easy to solve his household registration problem.

The reason why the leader Li had to solve the household registration problem and have an identity in the Great Zhou was because if he did not have an identity, his range of activities would be limited to the vicinity of Cangshan Mountain, and he might even be trapped to death in the Cangshan village.

With an identity, you can go anywhere in the world.

And now, the father and son of the Gu family are preparing to investigate him.

By using their connections, they were able to find out that Li Yun's household registration was actually in Qingyang. However, when they checked further back, they could not find such a person.

In this case, the Gu family has no authority to investigate further.

However, in this case, it can be basically concluded that there is something wrong with Li Yun's identity, and it can be used as a handle.

Because as long as they report it to the higher authorities, the provincial government or even the imperial court will send people to investigate and find out everything about Li Yun.

After thinking carefully, Li Yun stuck his head out, looked at the two men, and then retracted his head.

After thinking for a while, he left with his hands behind his back. After wandering around Qingyang County for a while, he quietly returned to the county government office and met Magistrate Xue who was handling official business in his study.

After entering the study, Li Yun sat down first, then looked at Xue Song. After hesitating for a moment, he roughly told him what happened.

After finishing talking about this matter, Li Yun looked at Magistrate Xue and said helplessly: "Master Xue, I shouldn't have stayed in Qingyang in the first place. Now you see, something has happened, right? Now I can still pat my butt and leave, but if the Gu family investigates this matter, Master Xue will be caught by them."

Magistrate Xue looked at Li Yun with some doubt: "Aren't you from Taiyuan? You don't have an identity in Taiyuan?"

Li Yun had already thought of a good excuse. After coughing, he whispered, "Master Xue, I grew up in the village. When I was young, I went to Taiyuan, but there is no household registration for me."

It was not until this moment that Magistrate Xue finally noticed something was wrong. He frowned slightly and asked, "What do you do for a living in Taiyuan?"

Li Dazhaizhu coughed and replied, "I traveled around the north and occasionally stayed in a hotel when I came to the city, but I also used a fake name."

Magistrate Xue looked at Li Yun suspiciously. After a long while, he slowly said, "So how do you want to deal with this matter?"

Li Yun said slowly: "Now that you have given me an identity, my household registration is in Qingyang. If they want to check, they must check from the household registration office of the county government. We must control it here and don't let them succeed easily."

"But there is a saying that there is no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. If this matter is to be completely resolved, it will fall on the shoulders of the uncle and nephew of the Gu family. Master Xue, please send someone to take a message to Lijiazhuang at the foot of Cangshan Mountain for me."

"This issue…"

Li Yun patted his chest with a righteous look and said, "I'll give it to Master Xue."

This matter is definitely not small.

Once exposed, Xue Song would either lose his job or be exiled, and his children might also be implicated.

Moreover, as Li Yun said.

At this time, Li Yun could just walk away without taking any responsibility, but Xue Song couldn't escape.

County Magistrate Xue sat in his seat, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then looked up at Li Yun.

"Will there be no mistakes in this matter?"

Li Yun's face was calm: "Mr. Xue has no choice but to trust me. The other option is for Mr. Xue to send someone to tie me up and then issue a notice to the whole county, saying that you, the county lord, were deceived by a bandit like me."

"By then, Mr. Xue's family might be safe, but he will definitely lose his position as an official."

Xue Song's eyes flickered.

In fact, that's what he just thought.

After thinking for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Magistrate Xue sighed silently and said, "Well, I'm going to change someone to take over the household registration office in the county government these days."

"As for the Gu family..." He looked at Li Yun and said slowly, "You can handle it."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you."

After saying that, Chief Li clasped his fists, turned around and walked to the door of the study. He looked back at Master Xue and asked, "County Master, if I am not in Qingyang these days, I will go to Cangshan to track down the bandits."

Mr. Xue was lost in thought at the moment. Hearing this, he put down the brush in his hand and waved his hand, saying, "I know, I know."

After Li Yun strode away, the magistrate still felt uneasy. He walked to the household registration office and asked the clerk to retrieve Li Yun's household registration which had just been completed a few days ago.

The household registration says that Li Zhao, whose ancestral home is Qingyang, originally lived in Taiyuan Prefecture. In the summer of the third year of Xiande, he returned to Qingyang and killed a bandit on the way. He was then appointed as the head of Qingyang…

A document was placed in front of Mr. Xue.

Mr. Xue remained calm and, under the pretext of checking documents, had the entire pile of documents containing the household registration moved to his study.

After moving to the study, Mr. Xue closed the door and began to search through the pile of documents one by one.

After searching for almost half an hour, Mr. Xue finally found a document. It was the household registration of a family with the surname Li, and it contained all the information.

"Surname Li, deceased, two sons disappeared when they were young..."

"this is not bad."

Mr. Xue picked out this document, put it aside for future use, and then continued to select suitable documents.

When he found the document that matched Li Yun's situation, he picked it up and put it aside.

Just like that, the county magistrate of Qingyang County actually spent a whole afternoon forging a perfect household registration for Li Yun!

The names of great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and where they live are all available.

Even if the officials in charge of household registration from the Ministry of Household Registration came here to check, they would not be able to find any problems!

It was not until late at night that Mr. Xue filled in the final stroke and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Xue brought the hot soup over and complained, "You are so old, what has kept you going until now?"

Mr. Xue looked at the documents on the table, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "Make up a lie..."

…………

Early the next morning, Dutou Li found his "subordinates" near the county government office.

There are about twenty yamen runners, and their main task on weekdays is to arrest people.

After giving a few simple words of scolding, Captain Li found the familiar face Chen Da and waved his hand to pull him aside.

Chen Da lowered his head slightly, smiling: "Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Gu Zhang and Gu Cheng, uncle and nephew, had a big quarrel with our county magistrate in the county government yesterday."

"These two guys are still in Qingyang. Take two people to keep an eye on them. Once they are about to leave the city, come and inform me immediately."

Chen Da blinked his eyes and said, "Captain, why is the county lord staring at them?"

"They have offended the county master, so naturally we will see if they have violated any laws or disciplines in Qingyang these days!"

Li Dazhaizhu found a random excuse to evade the question, and then said seriously: "Anyway, when they are ready to leave the city, come and let me know, understand?"

Chen Da nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the subordinates in this county are very familiar with you, and they will definitely keep an eye on you."

The head of the village, Li Da, nodded in satisfaction, patted Chen Da on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Work hard, I won't be in Qingyang in a few years."

"This position of the chief is yours."

Upon hearing this, Chen Da was overjoyed and pounded his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, I will get it done!"
