Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, there was a note that came after that. Looking at the date on it, it was a month after these two people were dismissed from the Wei family. The village chief of Pingan Town came to help these two people register and settle down in Zhu Village. They were named Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua respectively.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the big shelf with the Zhu Village of Pingan Town pasted on it. From this big shelf, they found the household registration books of Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua.
Because Jiang Yue and Xue Yan weren’t tall enough, Fang Yiming helped them take the booklet down and gave it to them.
Xue Yan opened the booklet and clearly saw that there was no big red cross drawn with a red brush at the back, nor was there any indication of who died. That meant that these two people were still alive and were still in Zhu Family Village.
Jiang Yue saw it too. Unwittingly, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
“Thank you, Yiming.” Xue Yan thanked him.
“Thank you, Yiming.” Jiang Yue also thanked him.
“You’re being polite again.” Fang Yiming smiled and said politely.
Logically speaking, it would be best for these two books to be taken away by Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in case others came to investigate again or to exchange the real one and leave a fake one here.
However, considering whether they took it away or left a fake here, it might implicate Fang Yiming. Therefore, they did not plan to do anything with this information.
Fang Yiming was the County Magistrate of Xinyuan County, and he was Xue
Yan’s classmate and good friend. If a fake was placed here, it might make Fang Yiming involved. If someone came to investigate, it would be unfavorable to Xue Yan. If they found that there was a problem with the book, they would definitely blame it on Fang Yiming, his classmate.
If the book was still intact, the situation would be very different.
Even if there were people who wanted to harm Xue Yan, they might expect Fang Yiming to willingly bring them here.
If they couldn’t find him in Zhu Village, they wouldn’t suspect Fang Yiming and blame him. They would think that the two books were still intact. If Fang Yiming knew about this, he would have cleaned them up and wouldn’t let them be in this room.
Therefore, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had already thought it through. They would let these two books stay in the county government. They only needed to find the two servants to take them away and protect them.
The servants were different from the other witnesses. These two people were very important.
Without these two people as witnesses, the Imperial Palace would definitely think that there were loopholes and wouldn’t be able to connect the dots. They wouldn’t dare to acknowledge Xue Yan as the Crown Prince, afraid that they would mistake him again.
In any case, he could not lose these two people.
He had to protect the two of them at all costs.
“Yiming, we have to go now.” Xue Yan cupped his hands again and bowed to Fang Yiming. He and Jiang Yue had to hurry to Zhu Village to find those two people.
Fang Yiming returned the greeting and said, “1 can tell that you have something important to do, so I won’t ask. However, you two are still children.
No matter what, you must be careful.”
“Yes, we will be careful.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.
Coming out from the back door of the county government’s back residence, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went around to the front again. Then, they hired a carriage and let the carriage send them to Zhu Family Village.
The coachman said that he didn’t know how to get to Zhu Village and only knew how to get to Pingan Town. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan weren’t very clear about the road to Zhu Village either. Zhu Village wasn’t the village they were from, so they first hired this carriage and returned to Pingan Town.
When they arrived at Pingan Town, they rented a carriage that knew how to go to Zhu Village..
