Chapter 131: A near miss

Family after family passed by, and in the end only Su Chen and Gu Fei's family were left.

Su Chen and the others did not have any documents to prove their identity, so they agreed to follow Gu Zhang and sneak out.

 Because Lian'er still has her family's household registration in her hand, and her family of four is listed on the household registration.

Gu Zhang handed over the household registrations of his family and Lian'er's family, and whispered: "There are fifteen people in the two families."

At this time, the soldier next to him finished nodding the heads and shouted, "Fifteen."

The officers and soldiers didn't take a closer look. They only saw that the banknote was one hundred and fifty taels, and they felt quite happy. This group of people had gained quite a lot from passing by.

Then he nodded and said, "Pass-"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man wearing civil official clothes walking out of the city gate.

The officers and soldiers' expressions changed, they quickly put away the banknotes and whispered: "Quickly go-"

This man is the county magistrate here, and he is the most rigid and eccentric person. He comes here several times a day to check if anyone from the three counties has wandered in.

Gu Zhang also saw the man at this time, put away his household registration, and secretly screamed that it was bad.

This man is from the yamen, and judging by his clothing, he is the eighth-grade county magistrate. However, the yamen and the army are two different systems. Most of the local people are in a state of disobedience to the other.

The county magistrate glanced at Gu Zhang's group of people. These people were wearing sheepskin jackets and looked like authentic northerners.

 He pointed at Gu Zhang, "Where is your registered residence?"

Gu Zhang was so anxious that he was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Su Chen opened the carriage curtain and said, "Our household registrations are all from Donghai County." He spoke in the standard Donghai County dialect.

The county magistrate looked at Su Chen. This young master was wearing a fox fur cloak with a blue brocade cover. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

He looked at Gu Zhang and his group, they all looked like country guys.

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and softened his tone towards Su Chen, "Are you together?"

Su Chen nodded, "This is my uncle. He has been here for a long time, but his household registration is still in Donghai County. I specially took them back to his hometown this time."

 The mule carts were dragging so many things, and it looked like the rhythm of moving.

The county magistrate was still looking at Gu Zhang. Gu Fei turned to Su Chen and said, "Cousin, there should be a medical clinic in this city. The injury on your leg cannot be delayed."

A smile appeared on Su Chen's lips. This girl actually knew the dialect of Donghai County. Her cousin's voice was also very pleasant. He nodded, "When we enter the city, we will find a medical clinic."

Gu Fei turned around and looked at her father with an innocent face, "Dad, let's go quickly."

Gu Zhang responded vaguely. When the county magistrate saw that Su Chen and Gu Fei both spoke in dialect, his suspicion disappeared and he waved his hand, "Let's go."

The people hurriedly drove the mule cart into the city gate.

 It wasn’t until they were farther away that everyone relaxed.

Gu Zhang hurriedly saluted Su Chen, "Thank you so much, Master."

Su Chen laughed and said, "Uncle Gu, why are you thanking me? I am with you. I am doing this for myself."

Gu Zhang smiled and said, "It's thanks to Mr. Su that he speaks southern dialect. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be in big trouble."

Su Chen glanced behind him. Gu Fei was standing with his back to this side, "My mother is from the south. I've heard a lot about it since I was a child."

“I didn’t expect that the daughter of my second uncle Gu’s family could do it.”

 Gu Zhang made a fool of himself, he wasn’t surprised that Gu Fei knew anything.

 Gu Fei pursed her lips and smiled. When she was in college in her previous life, she had fun learning some dialects from her classmates in the dormitory, and her level was only good at coaxing foreigners. She didn't expect that it would be useful in this time and space.

At this time, the village chief and his family came over, and Uncle Ma asked, "How about we rest in the city tonight?"
