The dark night turned white, and the sky gradually became brighter.
The tense nerves of the government officials and prisoners gradually relaxed.
Light can always bring people a sense of security, even in the dark night.
"Marler, this night is so long. I feel like I am surviving a disaster."
The young government official spoke with sweet emotion, expressing everyone's feelings.
Including Bai Yu, he also felt that after tonight's disaster, the sense of oppression brought by counting the number of people and names, the fear of being snatched away by the tiger, and now the elation of being an official.
However, he knew that the crisis was not over yet.
First of all, the tiger knows that his official identity is fake and can expose him at any time. This is a hidden danger. If the tiger is not eliminated, he will have no peace.
Secondly, although he has the status of an official, he does not have the memory of an official, and the secret will be revealed if he is not careful.
Bai Yu took out the map and looked at it, "Ahead is the boundary of Linfu County."
One official and sixteen government officials escorted more than two hundred deportees, walking on the road in a mighty manner.
Passengers and pedestrians pushing the chicken bus and carts backed away one after another, waiting by the roadside to let them pass first.
A checkpoint was reached.
There are four people guarding this checkpoint. They are responsible for passing inspections and collecting some "oil and water" from tourists and pedestrians. Whether it is copper coins or sweet potatoes, you have to take whatever you have. It seems that it should be from Linfu County.
Servant.
Bai Yu didn't dismount or go over. He stopped ten meters away and took out the customs clearance document slowly.
Seeing Bai Yu wearing official clothes, he didn't dare to neglect him. The leading servant trotted to the front of the horse and took the document with both hands respectfully.
"Looking at how busy you are, you must have traveled a long way. There is hot tea here. Would you like a sip of tea first?"
"That's fine."
Bai Yu lifted the hem of his official robe and dismounted gracefully.
Entering the checkpoint, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down.
The leading servant quickly made tea.
It is said to be a checkpoint, but actually there is a horse-proofing stake and a bamboo shed built next to it, which can provide some protection from wind and rain.
Bai Yu waved and asked the government officials to come in and drink tea. These were his subordinates, so he would give them preferential treatment to win their hearts.
Seeing a fire and sweet potatoes on the wooden table, Bai Yu threw a few in and roasted the sweet potatoes while warming the fire.
The leading officer was not in a hurry to check the customs clearance documents. He smiled and chatted, "Why are there so many prisoners? What have they committed? It's really strange. There is not even a girl. It would be great if there are beautiful girls. We are here."
Although the bamboo shed is simple, it doesn’t affect adults’ work, hehe.”
In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment activities. When men got together, what else could they talk about, except women.
Bai Yu lit the fire with a wooden stick and burned it brighter. He said calmly, "These are all exiled criminals guilty of treason."
The leading officer immediately changed his expression, put away his smile, did not dare to joke anymore, and kept secret anything related to treason.
After Bai Yu finished drinking the tea and finishing the sweet potatoes, the leading servant briefly glanced at the document and handed it back to Bai Yu with both hands.
"wrong."
The leading guard frowned.
Bai Yu said, "What?"
The leading officer thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Nothing. The document seems to say Daoxing was in the fourth year. Maybe I read it wrong."
Bai Yu opened the document and said, "It's the fourth year of Daoxing. That's right. Is there any problem?"
The leading officer looked at him strangely, "But today is the fourteenth year of Daoxing. The fourth year of Daoxing must be written wrong."
Today is the fourteenth year of Daoxing? Bai Yu was stunned and felt a thunder flash in his heart.
He clearly remembered that before, he asked the young man Lin Pingan "what dynasty is today", and Lin Pingan told him "the fourth year of Daoxing."
On the document, it is also clearly written "the fourth year of Daoxing".
But the leading officer said that today is the fourteenth year of Daoxing!
ten years.
A whole ten years.
Ten years passed overnight???
The government officials were also stunned, and then stared at the leading servant with unkind eyes.
"Are you impatient to take advantage of us adults?"
"You are nothing but a little servant. As long as we, the adults, say hello to your superior officer, you will be able to walk around without food."...
The leading officer smiled bitterly, "How dare you, little man? Today, it is the fourteenth year of Daoxing. The document says it is the fourth year of Daoxing. It is indeed wrong. You can't have walked ten years, right?"
The government officials were completely dumbfounded. Was it really the 14th year of Daoxing that lasted ten years overnight?
The leading officer and the other three officers looked at each other strangely. They felt that these people were not normal. Isn't it because "ten" was omitted on the customs clearance document? Is it such a big reaction?
You know, it is common for scribes to be careless and make mistakes and omissions in writing.
Bai Yu gradually calmed down. Last night, the time travel happened, and monsters were also encountered. It seemed that ten years passed in one night, and it was no big deal...
But things have become very troublesome. He, the official, the government officials and more than two hundred exiled prisoners have all become the "old people" from ten years ago.
Just imagine...Ten years ago, an official and a team of government officials were escorting more than 200 exiled prisoners. They suddenly disappeared mysteriously, which must have become an unsolved case in the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Household Registration may have already classified their household registration information as missing persons...
It’s over.
Things are getting serious.
"Shocked! More than two hundred prisoners who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago have returned to life!"
Such breaking news will definitely make the "front page headlines" of the Daqian Dynasty and attract the attention of all parties.
Even His Majesty the Emperor will pay attention to this case.
You know, Bai Yu, an official official, is a "fake product". Can he withstand such an investigation?
The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the three judicial departments...
Jinyiwei......
Exorcist...
Bai Yu broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know much about the departmental structure of the Daqian Dynasty, but just thinking about it made his scalp numb.
"grown ups."
"grown ups?"......
The old government officer's voice sounded like it was coming from beyond the sky.
Bai Yu slowly came back to his senses.
The old government officer asked, "What should we do now?"
Bai Yu's head felt heavy, "I'll think about it."
It is impossible to hide such a big matter, and the upper echelons of the dynasty will definitely know about it. In other words, it is inevitable that the entire team will be investigated.
He can take off this official uniform, use this character card, and replace it with another minion character card.
However, everything is afraid of but... The minions are monsters after all, and there are demon slayers in this world. He always has to worry about being slain by demons!
Unless he hides in the deep mountains and forests and never comes out for the rest of his life, what's the point of living like this?
"It's been ten years. Will my newly married wife have remarried?"
"When I left home, my old mother had trouble with her legs and feet. She was alone at home. Ten years later, any accident could happen. The child is unfilial!"
"My childhood sweethearts Caifeng and I are finally engaged. We planned to get married after completing this escort mission. She can't wait for me for ten years. I know her too well. She always says that life is short and you can enjoy yourself in time. She will definitely marry
I am just enjoying myself for others, and I have several children.”…
The government officials all looked mournful, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Bai Yu scolded, "Keep your voice down and don't let the prisoners hear it. You can't afford it if it causes a big mess."
Only the old government officer put his hand into his trousers without expression, took out a betel nut and chewed it. Maybe he was alone and didn't care about the passage of time.
Bai Yu ordered, "Watch them and don't cause any trouble. I'll go to the Yamen in Linfu County."
"Yes." The old government officer responded.
Bai Yu galloped on his horse. Instead of passively waiting for the investigation, he might as well take the initiative to report it, so that he might gain some initiative.
