I heard that he will die soon

What the hell.

Yan Qiu didn't understand, so he ignored him temporarily, thought for a while, and said, "Just because of this, those people went up the mountain and became bandits?"

"It seems to be because there were many conflicts with the landlord before."

"That's too...unexpected." Yan Qiu said, rubbing his forehead, "Did you send someone up the mountain?"

As for the landlord and his son being so indifferent to human life, Yan Qiu was not surprised.In fact, there are very few things that are fair in this matter, but there are countless things that do not treat people as human beings.

It's just that some people hide well, and some people don't know how to hide.

As for being sexually obsessed with by a landlord's son, Yan Qiu only sneered and didn't say much.

After chatting with Chen Chi for a while, Yan Qiu was relieved to learn that the bandit's situation was much better than he thought.Because the time is not long, the inside is still a simple farmer, and he went up to the mountain in a moment of enthusiasm, and did not snatch a few people. Instead, he watched how to cultivate the land on the mountain every day.

Yan Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and heard the old housekeeper say, "This subordinate didn't expect you to come here in person, so I just mentioned it a little bit."

However, he only mentioned this matter, and only told about the situation in Hengyi, but Yan Qiu felt strange, and with the matter of Gui Fei, he came over in person.

"...Well." Yan Qiu was a little helpless, sure that the bandit matter was not urgent for the time being, and after hearing Chen Chi's plan, Yan Qiu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "I'll think about it again, it's getting late, let's eat first Bar."

After the meal, Chen Chi didn't stay for long, because he still had official business in the mansion, he left first.

After he left, Yan Qiu went to the study to draw a picture, but he drew a rough map of Hengyi and its surroundings.

He has traveled to many places, and when he gets interested, although it can't be said that they are exactly the same, they are roughly in line.

Yan Qiu stood by the table looking at the map, thought for a long time, and finally reached out and folded the paper, lit it and threw it into the brazier that hadn't been used for a long time.

The door was knocked lightly, Yan Qiu turned and sat down, "Come in."

The person who knocked on the door was the old housekeeper, and Yan Qiu agreed. He came in with a white porcelain bowl, gently placed it on the table in front of Yan Qiu, then stepped back respectfully, and stood aside.

Looking at the custard in front of him, Yan Qiu blinked, "Thank you."

"What's so hard for the old slave." When the two were alone, the old housekeeper changed his name, and his face was full of smiles, "You are still alive and well, let the old slave do whatever you want."

Yan Qiu didn't mention the poisoning, took a sip from the bowl, and said, "What's the matter?"

"You are still so perceptive." The old housekeeper said, his smile was slightly suppressed, and he asked: "I heard that you and the leader... have a marriage contract?"

The time from Heyang to Hengyi was long enough for the people here to receive the news. Yan Qiu was not surprised when he heard the words and nodded.

The old butler looked confused, "Does he know that you are a man?"

Yan Qiu still nodded and ate quietly.

"Then, you... really don't plan to get married?"

nod.

The old housekeeper was silent for a long time, and finally said: "If it's just an expedient measure, it doesn't have to be so far. It's just that it's hard for others to guess your thoughts, and it's hard for this old slave to say anything."

"It's not an expedient measure." Yan Qiu put down the bowl, took the handkerchief he handed over, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, "Uncle Cheng, I recently discovered that I have the habit of breaking sleeves like Long Yang, and the leader is just doing my best." .”

The old butler: "..."

After Yan Qiu finished speaking, he felt inappropriate, worried that the old butler would not be able to bear it because of his age, and was about to say something different, when he heard the old butler say: "If your highness can live happily in this way, the old slave will be fine too." Satisfied."

Yan Qiu: "..."

Ok?

The old housekeeper sighed, and said: "Actually, this old slave was suspicious of this matter before, but I didn't expect that you really... If I knew this, this old slave would have found some young and beautiful boys for you, and you don't have to hold back for so many years." .”

hmmmm?

"What kind do you like? The old slave has never seen the leader, but he can make you look good. I think he looks pretty good?" The old housekeeper continued, "How do you look at the guards in our courtyard? All of them are Pick and choose, strong and strong. Or do you prefer something softer?"

Yan Qiu's face turned numb.

"It's just that men can't pass on offspring. Why don't you find a woman to give birth to an heir?"

Yan Qiu: "..."

Yan Qiu only felt a sudden pain in the temple, and rubbed it with his hand, "They should have heard what you said, so it's better not to say such things."

The old housekeeper took it for granted: "They are all yours, their hearts are yours, and their bodies are yours. Isn't it a matter of course to serve you?"

"Don't say that again." Yan Qiu realized that a certain aspect of the housekeeper's concept is very troublesome, but if he doesn't explain this matter clearly to him, who knows what troubles will happen in the future.So enduring the pain, Yan Qiu said: "I said something wrong before, I'm not interested in men."

The old housekeeper was taken aback, "You like women again?"

"do not like."

"That?"

"To be precise, I just want Jun Yan." Yan Qiu said, looking out of the window, and sighed, "I'm not interested in other people, so don't worry about it."

The old butler was stunned for a moment. Yan Qiu saw him and asked, "Uncle Cheng, do you understand?"

"Understood." The old butler nodded earnestly, "It's a good thing, so when will you get married?"

Yan Qiu: "..."

"Do you want any more children?" the old housekeeper asked again.

"Don't, don't." Yan Qiu suffered from a sudden headache, with a helpless expression on his face, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own opinion." Don't do him a disservice when the time comes.

After talking to the old housekeeper a few more times, Yan Qiu found that the old housekeeper who put himself first in everything was thinking in a certain aspect really gave him a headache, and finally sent him out of the study.

After seeing off the old housekeeper, Yan Qiu knocked on the table to let the subordinates who were hiding in the dark come out.

"master."

"Keep an eye on it." Yan Qiu rubbed his forehead, and said in a helpless tone, "Uncle Cheng is getting older, and he tends to get distracted, so don't let him do anything."

"Yes!"

"Don't take what he said just now to your heart."

"Master, don't worry, the subordinates will be clear."

"Yeah." Yan Qiu still trusted them.

Later, someone sent some information, Yan Qiu picked it up and rubbed his forehead, "The fourth prince is still confused with that foreign woman?"

"Yes." The person hidden in the shadow said: "Without the master's order, the subordinates dare not act rashly, they just keep staring."

"You did a good job." Yan Qiu put down the information in his hand, leaned back, and closed his eyes, "If he has been so confused, all the energy of the past few years will be wasted. The foreign woman has already found out?"

There may not be any information about the other party on the table, but Yan Qiu is too lazy to look at it right now, preferring to listen to them.

During the eloquence of his subordinates, Yan Qiu roughly understood the other party's background, and frowned.

"How old is the fourth prince this year?"

"It's seventeen, and it's another birthday in two months."

The study room was quiet for a long time, but when Yan Qiu's voice sounded again, there was a hint of playfulness, "Maybe my apprentice is not as stupid as he looks. Let's see again, if he can't solve this beauty trick before his birthday, I will also accept this apprentice." No more."

"Yes."

"If he needs help, follow him, just don't expose the whereabouts of your own people."

"My subordinates know."

Yan Qiu sorted out other matters, ordered them one by one, thought for a while to make sure there was nothing missing, got up and said, "You know the other things well, I'll be in Hengyi for a while, let's figure it out."

"Yes."

"Okay, it's getting late." Yan Qiu glanced at the night outside the window, lowered his eyes to straighten his turned-up sleeves, "I'm going to rest, and you all pay attention, don't do anything too late."

"Thank you, master, for your concern, this subordinate knows."

For the next few days, Yan Qiuguo lived in Hengyi as he said.

It was only said that the owner of the mansion had returned, but he didn't say his name.

The people around didn't know much about the owner of the mansion. They only knew that the surname was Qiao, and he was a local snake in Hengyi. Not to mention those local ruffians, they couldn't even meet the owner.Those who are officials and businessmen around them are all respectful to the owner of the mansion, and they will always send gifts to pay their respects.

As for Chen Chi, outsiders would see him as a clean and honest official, and apart from Chen Chi's not simple status, he was indeed trying to be a good official.It was also a blessing to drag Yan Qiu, he could investigate those cases more clearly, and the chance of misjudgment was greatly reduced.

A good official came to the mansion of Mr. Qiao, a tyrant, and Mr. Qiao occasionally sent someone to help the yamen arrest people. The relationship between them was said to be...well, harmonious coexistence?

Most of them thought Master Qiao was a middle-aged man over thirty, so when Yan Qiu went out occasionally, they would only come out to play as the young master in the mansion.Many people thought he was Master Qiao's son, Master Qiao called out.

After Yan Qiu arrived in Hengyi, he didn't immediately go to deal with the bandit's matter. After resting in the mansion for two days, he went out to the landlord's house first.

One night earlier, Yan Qiu had someone secretly poke and beat the landlord's son, so naturally he didn't need to see that man when he came here today.

When he pretends to be Qiao Ming, he always wears a blue or something similar, with gold trim and a gold chain, in such a pompous way.Therefore, as soon as he went out, anyone who knew the name of Young Master Qiao would recognize him.

As for his face, he had changed his face, not using the disguise technique rumored in the world, but an expensive mask.The mask was as thin as a cicada's wing, unable to change the shape of Yan Qiu's face, but after fine-tuning it, he looked completely different after wearing it.

It's just that Yan Qiu's peach eyes are pretty tight, and the mask can't bend him into red phoenix eyes, so Yan Qiu still wears a jade mask that covers the upper half of his face.It is also expensive to make, with the jewelry on his body and the jade crown on his head, the whole person is saying 'I am very rich'.

However, he is dressed like a nouveau riche, but he has a very clever mouth. He comes to poetry and dictionaries casually, embarrassing the gentlemen and scholars from a hundred miles away, and goes home to study hard again, leaving quite contradictory evaluations.

But even so, there are quite a few people who want to marry Young Master Qiao.
