Xue Yan naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Yue’s words and nodded.

After sitting in the private room for a while, they left the private room and continued to stroll on the street.

They only returned to the inn when it was almost dark.

The room they had in the inn was a big room, divided into an inner room and an outer room. It was the best room they had, which could prevent the walls from having ears.

However, it could only be prevented, but the chances were never zero. Therefore, they still had to be as careful when they spoke in the room as they were outside.

There was naturally no need to be careful with ordinary words. However, if it was anything else, he had to suppress his voice and be especially quiet.

Sitting in front of the table, Xue Yan first poured a cup of tea for him and Jiang Yue, then lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yue, “You’re pregnant, you should stay here.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded. Although their bodies were not affected by the time here, she was pregnant. She had to pay more attention to her health so that the child in her stomach could develop better.

Xue Yan was only going to the county office to take a look. It was just a small county office, and Xue Yan was skilled enough to take care of himself. Even if he went to the county office alone, he would be able to return safely. She did not have to worry about anything at all.

Late that night, Xue Yan sneaked out of the inn in his night clothes and went to the county office.

Although there were officers on duty in the county government, they were very lax. Xue Yan easily entered the office of the county magistrate.

There were many documents on the desk in the office. It was nothing much, but there was one document that was useful to him on the shelf behind him. However, he did not take it away, in case the county magistrate was looking for it and realized that something was wrong.

He only looked at the document carefully and memorized its contents.

He then went to the registrar’s office. He didn’t find anything there, but there was a warehouse next to the registrar’s office. There must be a lot of information and documents in the office, including old documents and household registration books.

Perhaps he could find something useful there.

However, the storeroom was locked from the outside, and the four windows were also closed from the inside. Whether it was to open the lock or break the windows, it was easy to cause a commotion, so Xue Yan went up to the roof to investigate.

It just so happened that there was a skylight on the roof. Although it was a small entrance, Xue Yan had practiced martial arts for many years, so he was as flexible as a gymnast. He very easily entered the storeroom through the skylight.

The warehouse was divided into many rooms, and the documents in each room were different. Xue Yan quickly browsed through them one by one. Finally, he found a room where the tax book of Dianhe County was placed. The book recorded in detail the tax situation of every household in Dianhe County.

Xue Yan opened the books in the last few years and paid attention to the last two years. He carefully flipped through them. There was a big seal on them and they were stored here. It was obvious that the taxes submitted were recorded in these books.

Xue Yan had an idea in his heart.

He looked around this storeroom again and didn’t take anything away. It didn’t matter if he took them away or not, he had memorized it all. Only then did Xue Yan gently open a window and come out of the storeroom.

When he came out, he closed the window again. Although the bolt on the inside could not be locked, it would make people think that he had forgotten to bolt it when he closed it from the inside.

It wasn’t until he returned to the inn did he spoke.
