Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu was in a very bad mood.

Even if he understood that his current situation really had no way to deal with this matter personally, he was in a very bad mood when he thought that this matter would finally require his mother to come forward.

After all, Mrs. Xu was the person who had been with General Xu, and after she said this to Xu Shiqiu, she directly ordered in front of Xu Shiqiu.

"Take my post to the county, inform the county order of the affairs of Yizhen, and ask him to send someone over." After saying this, Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu seemed to want to speak, and after sighing, she continued: "After all, we are just passing through here now, and the affairs of Yizhen still have to be handed over to the county order." ”

Xu Shiqiu understood that what his mother said was right.

Now that he has no official position, if his eldest brother is here, he will take care of the affairs of Yizhen, and the county order will definitely not dare to say anything in the end.

But he is different, he has no official position, if he really does it in private, he may be bitten back.

"That mother, now you have to send someone to see the mayor's family?" Xu Shiqiu understood that even if the person behind Yizhen Town was the county order, he would not dare to cover it.

Because although Xu Shiqiu said that he did not have an official position, the Xu family was a family that could directly face the saint.

Not to mention that the in-laws of the Xu family's big house are Duanwang, this matter is not to tell Duanwang, his eldest brother's official position is enough for the county magistrate not to dare to shield the mayor of Yi Town.

"Well, that's up to you." Mrs. Xu also knew that if she didn't let Xu Shiqiu do anything, Xu Shiqiu would be uncomfortable, so in the end, she handed over this matter to Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu was very happy when he heard Mrs. Xu's words, and hurriedly called the male servants in the house and ordered them to guard the mayor's family.

And just after Xu Shiqiu finished giving the order, the second son of Xu Feng's family, Brother Xin, knocked on the door of Mrs. Xu's room.

"Auntie, it's me."

After Brother Xin said such a sentence outside the door, Xu Shiqiu's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Brother Xin came in." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, just now I arranged for Brother Xin to follow the person who went to report the inn." ”

As soon as she heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at him and said, "Brother Xin is only eleven years old, how can you let him be in danger?" ”

As soon as Xu Xin entered the house, he happened to hear Mrs. Xu's words, and after he quickly closed the door, he walked quickly to Mrs. Xu and saluted: "Grandmother, don't blame Uncle Qiu, I took the initiative to ask Ying to follow me today." ”

Xu Xin is the second son of Xu Feng's family, because he is the second son of the second family, and there are two cousins of the uncle's family and his own brother, so he was not valued when he was at home before.

But a few months after he arrived in Xiahe Village, he was found by Xu Shiqiu to be particularly suitable for martial arts, and this kid looked silly, but he was very thoughtful.

At this time, he glanced at Xu Shiqiu with his spare eyes, and after seeing that Xu Shiqiu had no intention of speaking, he looked at Mrs. Xu and continued: "Uncle Grandmother, I am also eleven, and I don't need to do things at home, so I just want to follow Uncle Qiu in the future." Now that I've finally had the opportunity to learn more, you're not going to disagree, are you? ”

Xu Xin watched Mrs. Xu finish saying this, and then stared at Mrs. Xu with his serious eyes.

Mrs. Xu naturally didn't stop Xu Xin from coming out, she was just worried that Xu Xin would have an accident.

After all, now Xu Xin's father and mother have gone to the capital one step earlier, and he stays behind to follow his fourth uncle and his own son.

Now that his fourth uncle is not here, if something really happens to him, then she can't explain it to Xu Feng.

It's just that what Xu Xin said just now made her no longer blame Xu Shiqiu, after all, what Xu Xin said just now was also right.

He is eleven years old this year, and in ordinary people, a boy who has reached the age of ten years old should indeed learn to do things.

"Hey, Grandmother naturally won't disagree with you learning skills. It's just that this is not a place we are familiar with after all, and if you follow it so rashly, if you are discovered, your grandmother will have no way to explain it to your father. ”

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Xin as soon as she finished saying this, Xu Xin immediately looked at her happily and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, my face is very ordinary, even if I throw it in front of those people, they can't remember it." ”

Xu Xin looked at Mrs. Xu who had just finished saying this, and Xu Shiqiu also smiled and said: "Mother, don't you know, Brother Xin is very talented, as long as he has heard it, he can learn seven or eight points." We don't know the Yizhen dialect, but I can learn seven or eight points. After saying this, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Xin's eyes shining excitedly, so he spoke again: "But today is indeed my carelessness, and next time, I will arrange someone for Brother Xin'er to be together." In this way, even if something happens, two people can always run back to one. ”

Everyone heard that Xu Shiqiu's words were joking, after all, it was difficult to find a talented spy like Xu Xin.

There are so many grandsons and granddaughters of the Xu Er family, and now Xu Xin has such a talent.

Old Mrs. Xu also understood what Xu Shiqiu meant, and after glaring at him with a smile, she looked at Xu Xin and said, "Brother Xin'er is following today, can you gain something?" ”

"Grandma didn't ask, I forgot." Xu Xin looked at Mrs. Xu and scratched her head after smiling silly, and then said under the gaze of everyone: "The guy at the inn found a man selling vegetables at the back door, and I have been following the man selling vegetables and watching him enter the mayor's house." Originally, I was going to come back directly, but it didn't take long for the mayor's two sons to go out with the vegetable seller. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xin glanced up at Xu Shiqiu with some weakness, and after seeing that he didn't blame himself, he continued: "I have been following them to an alley in the north of the town. This alley is very chaotic, and there are three religions and nine streams of people. I remember Uncle Qiu said that you can't enter this kind of place at will, so I have been guarding the intersection.

After waiting for half an hour, they came out. I listened closer, and then I heard them say, 'Don't let them get out,' and 'blame them for everything.'" Hearing this, I guessed if the fourth uncle was locked up here. Because of this, I didn't continue to follow, and just came back. ”

After saying this, Xu Xin was still a little embarrassed, Uncle Qiu originally said that he was the one who asked him to stare at the inn guy to report the news, but after he heard the news, he hurried back.

Xu Shiqiu didn't blame Xu Xin, after all, when he heard the news about Xu Jie, Xu Xin would come back to him excitedly, and this matter was reasonable.

"It's okay, I've got an eyebrow to tell."

After Xu Shiqiu comforted Xu Xin, he looked up at Mrs. Xu again and said, "Mother, I want to take someone to the alley that Brother Xin said in Zhenbei." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she understood what he meant, she didn't let Xu Shiqiu do the previous things, if she didn't let him do it, he was afraid that he would feel useless.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "It's okay to go, but you must protect yourself and the Dong family." ”

Dong Shu had been sitting obediently on the side, until she heard Mrs. Xu's words, she looked up at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, don't worry, maybe when we get there, the fourth brother and Mr. Shi will already find a way to come out." ”

Dong Shu just said it casually, but Mrs. Xu and Xu Shiqiu, who heard her words, quickly glanced at each other.

They all had a bold conjecture, maybe when they arrived in the alley north of the town, Xu Jie and Shi Yuan really escaped with the servants at home.

However, although there was this conjecture in his heart, neither Mrs. Xu nor Xu Shiqiu said it.

Because Xu Shiqiu was going to the north of the town, the matter of guarding the mayor's house was finally arranged by Mrs. Xu.

In the evening, after Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had a simple meal, they changed into light clothes and waited for the sky to darken.

The sky was getting dark, and the busiest time of the inn began, and Xu Shiqiu finally took Dong Shu, Xu Xin and a few capable servants in the family to the north of the town.

Although Xu Xin has only been here once during the day, he is very familiar with this place.

He took Xu Shiqiu and his party all the way to the intersection of the alley in the north of the town, and before he could speak, he saw Xu Shiqiu's eyes widen.

"Uncle Qiu, what's wrong?"

Xu Xin looked at Xu Shiqiu and just finished asking this, Xu Shiqiu raised his hand and pointed to the black smoke that came out not far away and said, "Brother Xin, maybe we don't have to save people." ”

Because he had conjectures before, when he saw the black smoke coming out, Xu Shiqiu's first thought was that maybe Xu Jie and they ran out by themselves.

Xu Xin didn't know why Xu Shiqiu would say such a thing, he opened his mouth, but in the end he could only look at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Uncle Qiu, why don't I take someone to take a look?" ”

As soon as Xu Xin finished saying this, before Xu Shiqiu could answer his words, Dong Shu had already seen the figure in front of him.

"Xianggong, Brother Xin'er, look at it." Dong Shu pointed to a few figures running out of front of him, and continued in surprise: "Isn't it the fourth brother and Mr. Shi?" ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Xin also saw the few figures running towards them in front of them.

"Shi Qiu!" Xu Jie saw Xu Shiqiu first, and then saw Xu Xin who was following Xu Shiqiu, "Brother Xin is also here?" Did you know we were going to set a fire tonight? ”

"You set the fire?"

Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth in surprise, and before he could ask after saying this, he heard Shi Yuan gasp and say, "Quick, go, don't be chased." ”

Hearing Shi Yuan's words, where did Xu Shiqiu and Xu Jie dare to talk more, one hugged Dong Shu's waist tightly, and the other hurriedly grabbed his nephew's arm, turned around and ran.

After running a certain distance, the group slowly took advantage of the night and the fire in the north of the town to return to the inn.

As soon as they returned to the inn, Mrs. Xu received news that the mayor's family had just taken advantage of the night to send a few children out.

"Child, their child?"
