Chapter 270 We are actually unregistered residents
Mengze's aunt and uncle rented her aunt's house and officially moved into the village.
"Mengze, go to the county government office tomorrow and ask if we can register your household registration with our family."
"Find out how much silver the magistrate of Pingyao County needs, so we can make plans as soon as possible."
My aunt's husband found the household registration documents and started talking to Mengze about it.
My aunt nodded, her face full of worry.
Previously, in Ling'an Prefecture or their hometown of Ganzhou, if they needed to re-register their household registration, the county magistrate required them to pay a tribute of two hundred taels of silver.
They couldn't come up with the money, so they planned to save it up and deal with it later.
But to their surprise, the government office threatened them that if they didn't register Mengze's household registration, they would arrest Mengze, who was an unregistered resident.
Terrified, they left Ganzhou overnight and went to other places.
Everywhere he went, he would spend money to ask someone to inquire about this matter at the county government office.
After all, given past experiences, they still didn't dare to show up and ask on the spot.
Now that we've arrived at such a wonderful Wangyue Village, I've heard that men, women, and children, as long as they can breathe, even if they're lame or disabled, as long as they're not lazy, can find work to do.
They plan to go to the village tomorrow to find work and save enough money to get this done as soon as possible.
Mengze looked at the disk in his hand, his feelings complicated.
After all, they had previously attempted to assassinate Dou Weiyi...
Moreover, because of this matter, the government is now investigating very strictly. Going there would be like walking into a trap...
But seeing the hopeful looks on his aunt and uncle's faces, he swallowed his words.
Holding the household registration certificate, A-Li came out of the house and leaned against the door frame waiting for Mengze. She glanced at Mengze, whose face was full of worries, as he walked out of the house.
"what happened?"
Mengze looked up and saw A Li's concerned gaze. She shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about finding another job tomorrow."
He didn't want Ah Li to worry, so he said it casually.
Although Ah Li is on the Heavenly Kill Ranking, he is the lowest-ranked assassin.
However, keen perception has always been an assassin's forte.
He took two steps closer, his gaze falling on the household registration document tightly clutched in Mengze's hand. He looked up at Mengze and asked, "Is it because of this household registration document? Our identities are sensitive. Are you afraid of being exposed at the government office?"
Mengze gave a wry smile and nodded.
Sure enough, his earnest nonsense couldn't even fool Ah Li, so how could it possibly fool Magistrate Dou Weiyi...
A-Li looked at the household registration certificate in his hand, feeling a surge of excitement, after all, he was also an unregistered resident.
Once he's registered on the official website, he might be able to clear his name!
Ignoring Mengze's dilemma, he turned and ran back.
When I got home, I saw Hei Yi carrying a basin of dirty clothes to the river to wash them.
Ah Li wasn't looking where he was going and crashed into Hei Yi, sending him sprawling.
"Little Eleven, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
A Li was brought back to her senses by Hei Yi's shout and quickly reached out to help him: "I had something urgent to do, so I didn't pay attention to where I was going."
Hei Yi grinned as he got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and squatted down to pick up his dirty clothes: "Hey kid, what's the rush?"
Ah Li scratched his head, but his eyes darted into the room. "I wanted to ask the master and madam if I could get a household registration certificate..."
"Ueko disc??"
Hei Yi, forgetting about picking up his clothes, realized his voice was a bit loud and quickly lowered it, pulling A Li aside to whisper, "You're not kidding, are you? We don't have a personal file, and we can't afford to be investigated..."
If this investigation uncovers their identities as assassins, what's the difference between this and sending them to their deaths?
Ah Li's eyes dimmed. He was well aware of the risks involved, but if he remained an unregistered resident, he would forever be forced to hide in the shadows and live a life of constant fear.
Life in Wangyue Village is a ray of light in their otherwise dark world.
If he could live a peaceful life, why would he want to stay in the shadows and crawl around like a writher fish?
Upon hearing this, the hopeful light in Ah Li's eyes dimmed once again.
Hei Yi sighed. He understood A Li's thoughts. After all, he himself longed for a stable identity so that he could walk the world openly and honestly.
"Ah Li, I heard your voice in the yard. What are you whispering with Hei Yi about here?"
Lin Xi suddenly poked her head out from inside the courtyard gate, startling the two people outside, who trembled in fear.
Ah Li and Hei Yi exchanged a flustered glance. Ah Li stammered, "N-nothing, sir, we were just chatting."
Hei Yi quickly chimed in, forcing an unnatural smile: "Yes, yes, sir, this kid bumped into me while walking carelessly, and I was just talking to him about it."
"Oh~"
Lin Xi's tone trailed off for a long time, his face full of mockery.
After all, I saw that A Li went with Meng Ze before, and I thought he would come back later. I didn't expect him to come back so early!
Hei Yi looked completely bewildered upon seeing Lin Xi's expression.
Seeing Lin Xi's expression, Ah Li understood; was she teasing him?
He quickly coughed and said, "Sir, I have something I'd like to discuss with you and Madam, something..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hei Yi, who was standing next to him, was startled and quickly tugged at A Li's arm, winking at him.
Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Xi looked at them curiously for a few moments and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ah Li looked around and quickly pushed Lin Xi back to the courtyard: "Master, let's talk in the courtyard."
Hei Yi was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but he couldn't stop them too obviously at the moment, so he could only follow behind, carrying the basin of clothes, and enter the yard.
Sitting by the fireplace, Gao Mengli watched as A Li and Lin Xi shoved each other back, followed by a "sneaky" Hei Yi, her face full of curiosity.
"Why is this?"
Lin Xi walked over to Gao Mengli and shrugged: "Ali said she had something to tell us, so she pushed me in!"
"Is something wrong?"
Gao Mengli gave A Li a meaningful look.
A Li felt a little flustered under Gao Mengli's gaze, and just as he was about to speak, Hei Yi quickly covered his mouth.
You shut mouth, don't you dare say that!
This piqued the interest of the rebellious Lin Xi and Gao Mengli even more, and their curiosity reached its peak.
Lin Xi quickly walked over and pulled Hei Yi away: "What are you doing? Let go of A Li!"
Honestly, he wanted to hear what Ah Li had to say. Who would forcibly change his "channel"?
No, no, he insists on listening!
Gao Mengli stood in front of A Li with her arms crossed, tilted her head slightly, and raised her eyebrows to urge, "A Li, stop dawdling and tell me what's going on!"
Could it be something embarrassing that happened to Black One?!
Look how nervous Hei Yi is!
Hei Yi, who was standing next to Lin Xi, was being held back by Lin Xi. He couldn't cover Ah Li's mouth, which kept babbling.
He could only stand aside, anxiously praying in his heart, "Ah Li, shut up, don't pull it out!"
Ah Li selectively ignored Hei Yi's words, took a deep breath, and secretly made a gamble.
"Sir, Madam, we are actually unregistered residents without a household registration certificate..."
As A-Li finished speaking, Hei-Yi collapsed to the ground, looking as if the sky had fallen...
Gao Mengli's gaze also shifted to Hei Yi, and she glared at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi quickly raised her hands, her face full of innocence, to prove her innocence: "I didn't push him, he's faking it!!!"
