Dazhao Guilu: I Checked the Death Register at the County Government Office

Xu Zhi is a scribe in a household in Ping'an County. What they usually do is just make registrations for the living and close accounts for the dead. Until that night, he saw his name on the county government death register. Charge: false nationality, sentenced to be executed after questioning, and will be found guilty after seven days. He thought he was mistakenly recorded by the execution chamber, until his colleagues began to lose track of him, and the word "adoption" on the household registration card changed to "false registration". A man who had been dead for three years also came to the county government to pay taxes. The dead man said that he was here to cancel his account. From that day on, Xu Zhi knew that documents were unreliable. Paper can remember people, and it can also begin to eat people.
