According to the time, the person sent by the escort agency to Zhang Bangchui's hometown to get the documents should be back.

Song Jinxiu went to the county town again.

Sure enough, the second-in-command of the escort agency came out to greet her as soon as he saw her.

He got straight to the point and said, "Miss, things are a little unsatisfactory."

"What do you mean? There's no file on this person?"

"The county government office there was once vandalized by refugees, and the archives were burned down. The certificate cannot be issued."

The second in command paid some money and met the local county magistrate in person.

When it came to Zhang Zihan, the county magistrate knew about him, but when asked to issue a certificate, he was unwilling to do so, saying what if someone impersonated him?

Song Jinxiu asked, "Then if I go back and get a certificate myself, is that okay?"

The Second In Command gave a wry laugh. "I asked that too, but the County Magistrate shook his head. He said he was willing to issue a guarantee certificate for Zhang Zihan, proving that his family had been good citizens for three generations and had achieved top grades in the Tongsheng exam."

Having said that, the second in command paused and glanced at Song Jinxiu.

"From the tone of the County Magistrate, it seems your relative Zhang Zihan is very learned."

Song Jinxiu raised an eyebrow. "He knew Zhang Zihan was a scholar, but he was unwilling to issue a scholar certificate. However, he was very willing to issue a Tongsheng certificate and a Three Generations of Good Citizen certificate. There must be a reason for this. Is there something he can't say?"

The second in command immediately said with admiration: "Young lady, you are smart. There is indeed a reason for this."

It turned out that the second in command also felt something was amiss, so he spent some money to inquire from the clerk and learned that six years ago, someone had impersonated a scholar.

Song Jinxiu frowned, "Impersonating? This is deceiving the emperor, a serious crime."

“Yes, later on, when the incident was discovered, it turned out that there was more than one person impersonating someone else, and a county magistrate died as a result.

Now the new county magistrate has re-sorted the files, and has filed away all that was previously obscured and discarded all that was not."

As he said that, the second in command handed the certificate to Song Jinxiu.

Song Jinxiu took a look and saw the guarantee of the county magistrate, the letter of introduction from the clerk, and the certificate presented by the Zhang family clan.

Song Jinxiu held up the Zhang family's certificate and asked, "Have all the members of their clan returned to their hometown?"

The second in command said with a smile, "It's not that I didn't get the scholar certificate, and I felt sorry for the thirty taels of silver the girl gave me, so I found Zhangjia Village."

There are only two families left in Zhangjia Village. The clan leader is a twenty-year-old young man. He said that he is the clan leader now because he holds the clan seal.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Zihan was not dead, he immediately issued a certificate.

Song Jinxiu frowned as she looked at the bloody mark on the certificate.

The second in command laughed and said, "Haha, it's chicken blood. That place is so poor that it doesn't even have ink."

Song Jinxiu fulfilled her promise and gave another fifty taels.

Although he didn't bring the scholar's certificate, the second in command did try his best.

Since Zhang Bangchui had to take the scholar examination and ask someone to go to his hometown to get a certificate, Song Jinxiu didn't plan to talk about it now.

After all, it is important for the candidates to maintain emotional stability.

The more people there are, the more powerful it will be; the more firewood, the higher the flame will be.

By the time the roof beams of the house were put up, the courtyard wall had basically been completed.

The skilled workers stayed to help, while the unskilled workers settled their wages and went home after finishing the work.

Seeing Jinfang and Xiaoqiu Sheng paying their wages in an orderly manner according to the records in the work book, Song Jinxiu smiled.

While no one noticed her, Song Jinxiu secretly followed the treasure-hunting rat Junjun up the mountain.

Both children had learned arithmetic from her, and it was time for them to put it into practice. Only by applying what they had learned could they work harder.

The man and the mouse crossed mountains and rivers, and it was naturally another day of great harvest.

There are finally beautiful flowers in the space, a patch of red camellia and violet yedoensis with purple mist, adding a touch of bright color to the green space.

They also discovered a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.

When the ginkgo tree was planted in the space, the bodhi tree danced without wind, and the bodhi tree's joy was clearly felt.

"Baby, that's great," treasure-hunting mouse Junjun happily hugged the Bodhi tree and cried and laughed.

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.

"Junjun, Bodhi Tree, has Baoya regained consciousness? Can she understand what we are saying?"

"Master, Baoya is still conscious, she is just asleep."

"Oh, then when will she wake up?"

Treasure-hunting rat Junjun lay in a hammock made of bodhi leaves, holding his chin in his hand as he thought for a while and said, "Soon, she should wake up within ten thousand years."

Song Jinxiu: ...

In ten thousand years, she would have become a speck of dust.

No, I have to leave something for Baoya to prove that I have been here.

They entered the small building and took out a camera, and then the man and the mouse began to take pictures in the space.

It was not until the sun set that Song Jinxiu went back home happily, humming a song in the afterglow of the sun.

From a distance, I could see a lot of noise at the doorstep and even heard faint crying.

Song Jinxiu frowned, walked over quickly, pushed through the crowd, looked at her sobbing mother and asked, "What happened?"

As soon as Song Jinfang saw Song Jinxiu, she rushed over and said, "Sister, my little brother is missing."

What does missing mean?

"Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."

Song Jinfang cried and said, "Today we both received our wages. My younger brother said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so I let him go. But after I paid him, he still hadn't shown up."

At this time, the fat boy from the neighboring house said, "Sister Jinfang asked me to go to the toilet to look for him, but there is no one in the toilet. I even searched the shit pit behind the toilet, but he is not there."

Vanilla also said anxiously: "My throat is hoarse from shouting. Where did this damn boy go?"

Xiang Ye frowned and comforted her, "Don't cry, Auntie. My grandfather, my father, and the uncles and aunts in the village are all looking for him. Maybe Qiu Sheng fell asleep in that corner."

Song Jinxiu said in a deep voice: "Have you found the old Song family?"

Xiang Ye whispered, "I did look for him. When my grandfather heard that Qiu Sheng was missing, he went to their house first. He went there in person, but they didn't have him."

Song Jinxiu asked again: "Where is my brother?"

Xiangcao quickly said, "Brother Chunsheng and my brother have all gone to look for someone."

It turned out that when the head of the village heard that Xiao Qiu Sheng was missing, he took it seriously. He first searched the village, and then sent people to look for him in nearby ditches, bushes, and cliffs.

He must have thought of something bad.

Song Jinxiu also had a bad feeling.

She looked at the darkening sky and said to Fatty's father, "Uncle, get me some torches."

"it is good."

Song Jinxiu then asked everyone, "Everyone, think about when you last saw Qiu Sheng. If you can provide any useful clues, our family will reward you with ten taels of silver."

"What's the point of talking about money? We're all family. We're all very generous and magnanimous. Everyone, think carefully. Has anyone seen Qiu Sheng?"

Suddenly everyone started whispering to each other.

They had seen each other before. When they came to collect the money, Qiu Sheng was distributing it. However, it was today that the money was collected, and everyone's attention was on the money, so no one noticed when Qiu Sheng disappeared.

At this time, Panggaizi's father brought a dozen torches and lit up the area in front of the courtyard gate.

Song Jinxiu glanced at everyone one by one, hoping to hear useful information from them.

Suddenly, she saw a figure hidden in the shadows behind a tree on the street.

Song Jinxiu walked over holding a torch.

The black shadow quickly ran away.
