On the other side, Butler Ren had already sent Qin Ruo and others to the gate of the county government office.

The distance from Xie's house to the government office was not far, and the carriage was travelling at a fast speed, so it only took about a quarter of an hour to arrive there.

Yu Zhengyang and several constables had just returned from patrol outside. They saw Xie's carriage from afar, parked in front of the yamen gate, and their hearts began to beat fast.

Of course he recognized the Xie Mansion's carriage, not to mention that there was the Xie Mansion's logo on the carriage.

He also recognized the steward of the Xie family who was driving the car.

Almost every day, he would lead people to patrol the road section near Xie's house. Even the servant Yu Zhengyang had some impression of the people in Xie's house.

Old Madam Xie came from a marquis's mansion in the capital and had temporarily settled in Taihe County for the past two years.

On the day the old lady came back, even County Magistrate Jiang came out to greet her in person with great respect.

Afterwards, he repeatedly warned the detectives to be alert and pay more attention to the Xie Mansion in the future, for fear that someone would be so blind as to offend someone.

Although I don’t know Madam Xie’s specific origins.

But County Magistrate Jiang said that if anything happened to Madam Xie, he would not be able to keep his official hat.

It’s hard to say whether the head on the neck can be saved.

Fortunately, during the years that Mrs. Xie lived in Taihe County, everything was peaceful and harmonious.

There is no one so blind as to dare to provoke the Xie family.

Today, the carriage from the Xie Mansion stopped here. Yu Zhengyang wondered if something had happened at the Xie Mansion?

So he quickly walked forward with a smile and started greeting Butler Ren.

"How are you these days, Steward Ren? I am here today because your family has important matters. I will go and ask Magistrate Jiang to come out."

"Captain Yu is thoughtful. There is no need to disturb Magistrate Jiang. Today, the old lady in the mansion asked me to send Miss Qin over to do something. So here I am."

Butler Ren jumped down from the carriage and bowed to Yu Zhengyang with a smile on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Yu saw Qin Ruo and others getting off the carriage one after another.

Captain Yu was impressed by Qin Ruo's performance in Changhe Village yesterday. Now that he saw that Qin Ruo was related to the Xie family, he dared not take it lightly.

He politely invited Qin Ruo into the yamen, and after taking fingerprints according to the procedure, he handed the two taels of silver and the peeled wolf skin to Qin Ruo.

Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu were waiting at the gate of the yamen.

After entering the yamen, Butler Ren stayed with Qin Ruo throughout the whole process, and the whole process went quite smoothly.

When he was about to leave, Qin Ruo asked casually, "Captain Yu, can you tell me how to go about changing my household registration name?"

Qin Ruo just asked casually. She felt awkward about having to use the original owner's name all the time.

Changing the name is only a matter of time. I happened to ask about it today when I came to the yamen.

"Miss Qin, changing your household registration name is not complicated. Just go to the village head to file a case and report it to the government office..."

Yu Zhengyang saw Qin Ruo frowning slightly, and then looked at Butler Ren who was standing next to Qin Ruo with a smile on his face.

He immediately added, "But since you are here today, please wait a moment and I will ask the chief clerk to register you so that you don't have to make another trip later."

Changing the name is not a big deal. The steward of the Xie Mansion has personally stepped in, and even County Magistrate Jiang will give it face.

Yu Zhengyang inquired about some of Qin Ruo's household registration information, and then went to the yamen's chief clerk to handle it in person.

Qin Ruo was stunned. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

Just now she just thought of some unpleasant things that happened with the Wang family, and thought that if she really went through this process it might not be so smooth.

Wang Lizheng is obviously a biased person. He has just been fined five taels of silver, and he might still be secretly planning to do something bad to her.

She hadn't expected it to be done so quickly this time, but she didn't expect the turning point to come so soon.

After a cup of tea, she successfully saw the two words "Qin Ruo" on the new household registration, and a rare smile of joy appeared on her face.

The household registration system of the Dasheng Dynasty was only used for registration by the government to prove that there were real people in this place.

Ordinary people did not have something similar to a modern ID card.

This is something Qin Ruo just learned about.

But she was satisfied.

When walking out of the yamen, Qin Ruo quietly made a wish for Qin Qiuxi in her heart.

I wish Qin Qiuxi, who is only fifteen years old, a happy and long life in the next life.

Qin Ruo could only say sorry in her heart for using the original owner Qin Qiuxi's body and erasing all traces of her.

She really didn't want to keep living under the name Qin Qiuxi.

She decided that if she had the chance in the future, she would build a cenotaph for Qin Qiuxi and hold memorial services for him every year.

After Yu Zhengyang sent Qin Ruo and housekeeper Ren to the gate of the yamen, he also escorted them to the carriage.

He suddenly remembered an important matter, so he quickly stopped Qin Ruo who was about to get in the car.

"Miss Qin, a few days ago, a group of vagrant criminals fled to Taihe County. The county government is organizing detectives to do their best to arrest them. They may flee to the surrounding villages. You'd better be careful when you go into the mountains in the future."

After saying that, he took out a few wanted posters from his pocket and showed them to Qin Ruo.

The government office has already issued a notice on this matter, and it will be distributed to all towns and villages in two days. He reminded Qin Ruo with good intentions.

No matter what Qin Ruo's fate will be in the future, it always does good to make friends with this girl.

"Thank you for the reminder, Captain Yu. You've worked hard today. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please go have some tea with Captain Yu and the other officers."

Qin Ruo smiled and handed Yu Zhengyang a small purse openly.

The amount of money she was given was not too much, only three hundred coins, which was in line with her current status as a country girl.

Just now at the yamen, when Qin Ruo and others were handling their household registration, they had already made secret preparations.

She had originally planned to give it to him when she got on the bus.

Yu Zhengyang waved his hands to refuse, but the housekeeper Ren helped him to speak.

"This is a little gift from Miss Qin. If Captain Yu doesn't mind, please accept it."

"Speaking of which, your government has taken good care of the Xie family in the past few years since the old lady came to Taihe County. When she came here today, the old lady specially asked me and County Magistrate Jiang to say hello. She also asked me to tell the county magistrate's wife that if she is free, she is welcome to come to the Xie family to drink tea with the old lady."

"Captain Yu and the county magistrate's officer, you have worked hard to protect the safety of Taihe County. What a coincidence! Before coming here, the old lady specifically asked me to treat Captain Yu and the officer to a drink."

Butler Ren took out a purse from his sleeve with a smile on his face and stuffed it into Yu Zhengyang's hand without saying a word.

Having said that, Yu Zhengyang couldn't refuse anymore.

He still accepted Qin Ruo's small purse.

The government has an unwritten rule that rewards can be accepted, but it is not allowed to use them as an opportunity to extort money.

He thought about it and understood that Madam Xie was openly supporting Qin Ruo.

Yu Zhengyang thanked Steward Ren and Qin Ruo, said some polite words for a while, then hurried back to the yamen to report to Magistrate Jiang.

Although the old lady has lived in Taihe County for several years, she has never attended any banquets outside.

It was rare for the other party to invite the county magistrate's wife.

Qin Ruo felt emotional at this time, looking at the speaking skills of Butler Ren.

In this regard, I really can't compare.
