The scorching sun scorched people who had just experienced a heavy rain.
\\\The rain on the ground quickly disappeared without a trace, turning into moisture that was not choking but only suffocating.
The officers and soldiers who were originally only besieging the area from a distance, after receiving Cao Yi's order, simply searched from house to house openly.
They even obtained lists of local residents from Baozheng everywhere, for fear of missing anyone.
However, I searched and found nothing.
When the man in black heard the news, his previous calmness was gone and he cursed angrily.
"I don't believe they will disappear out of thin air."
"But we have already checked door to door and we still followed Baozheng's list."
Cao Yi also felt unbelievable.
"Brother, the more we are at this time, the less anxious we can be."
The man in black calmed down and immediately regained his composure.
"I understand that there are no accomplices of the revolutionary and rebellious parties among these residents."
Cao Yi immediately made a seemingly bold but very possible conjecture.
"It shouldn't be that the registered residents are all local residents.
They have been here for generations.
There is no need to lose their whole family for a revolutionary rebel party," the man in black said coldly.
Cao Yi nodded first, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Are there any new households that have moved here in the past few years among the households that my brother has registered?"
After hearing this, the man in black took a breath and couldn't help but sigh.
"How could I forget that even the people registered here have just moved here?"
Cao Yi, who seemed to have found a breakthrough, suddenly became energetic and even spoke with confidence.
"My little brother immediately ordered someone to call those security guards."
"Let them bring their respective household registers," the man in black hurriedly ordered.
Cao Yi agreed immediately Soon, there were a total of four Baozheng, each of them still holding a few stacks of household records in his pocket, and hurried to the government office to return to his life.
Cao Yi showed rare enthusiasm.
He not only ordered his servants to prepare chairs for them, but also patiently asked questions.
"I invited four of you here today because I want to inquire about something," the man in black asked calmly.
A dark, thin but energetic middle-aged man took the lead in answering.
"If you have anything to do, please ask the special envoy to tell the younger ones to serve you."
The man in black smiled after hearing this.
"Very good.
With your help, I don't have to worry."
"I wonder what the special envoy wants to ask about."
Baozheng, who took the lead, thought about how he could become the special envoy's guest when he was only in charge of a third of an acre of land.
Not only did he have this doubt at this time, but on the way here, he and other Baozheng also murmured together in private.
"Open the household register you brought," Cao Yi ordered.
The four security guards looked at each other in confusion.
They did not expect that their usual job as an elephant officer was not an official job, but today they were invited to the Governor's Mansion.
Naturally, I didn't dare to neglect and quickly opened the cover of the household booklet.
"I wonder which part of the household register you want to see?"
Baozheng, who took the lead, asked with a smile.
"I would like to ask you whether the registered household heads are divided into new households and old households," Cao Yi asked in concern.
Baozheng, who took the lead, smiled with pride on his face.
He pointed to the names with black dots on the top and bottom of the household register and explained.
"Please take a look at these names with black dots, which are the newly moved families."

Cao Yi widened his eyes, looked carefully, and couldn't help but praise.
"I always thought that no one under the leadership of Governor Li could do his or her job conscientiously.
I didn't expect that the four of you Baozheng did their job faithfully."
Baozheng, who took the lead in "Fuck you, sir," and the other three people expressed their thanks.
"By the way, since you have separated the old and new households, you must know something about this kind of family," Cao Yi asked with concern.
"Sir, I can't say I have an in-depth understanding of them, but I still know a little bit about what kind of family they are, and this group of old brothers."
Baozheng, who took the lead, explained seriously.
"What you said is true.
What you know about the new arrivals is probably what they asked when they came to register their household registration."
The man in black on the side asked with a smile.
The four guards couldn't help but look at the man in black in front of them with admiration.
"Your Majesty, the special envoy, is really attentive to the people's sentiments.
Even you, a lowly country person like us, know it clearly.
I am really impressed by you."
Baozheng, who took the lead, praised sincerely.
The man in black and Cao Yi knew that he was speaking his mind.
The man in black smiled from ear to ear.
"Why don't I look like a good person?"
The four guards hurriedly laughed with him.
"The special envoy is joking, but apart from the understanding when registering, I and the three old brothers have other ways."
Baozheng, who took the lead, took over.
The man in black and Cao Yi suddenly became interested.
Especially Cao Yi, who was eager to ask questions from the side.
"You might as well tell me what a good idea is."
"Sir, we are all local old-time neighbors.
We all know each other for more than three generations, so even trivial things among the neighbors will be discussed for three to five days.
For a long time, everything happens on these streets.
As long as we make a little inquiry, we will know the cause of the matter."
Baozheng, who took the lead, explained seriously.
"It makes sense and you understand so well that you can do this."
The man in black couldn't help but praise.
"Special envoy, thank you!"
Baozheng, who took the lead, hurriedly thanked him.
"You know your one-third of an acre so well, have you noticed any weird new residents?"
Cao Yi changed the subject and finally got to the point.
"I wonder what kind of weirdness you are talking about," Baozheng, who took the lead, asked cautiously for fear of misunderstanding Cao Yi's meaning.
When the man in black saw this, he immediately took over the words for fear of frightening the four guards.
"Anything you think is weird can be reported truthfully."
Baozheng, who took the lead, hummed and turned his head to discuss quietly with the other three Baozheng.
Although Cao Yi was anxious, he understood the intention of the man in black.
"You open up and say don't worry.
If you say it well, I will give you a reward."
Hearing Cao Yi, who had always had a sullen face, say such words, the four Baozheng suddenly felt much more relaxed.
The only worries he had before were gone, and he continued to talk about the new move he had chosen.
