When Qiu Er heard the news, his first thought was not, "It's bad, one of me and the third child is going to be a soldier." Instead, "That's great, finally there is a way to get rid of Qiu San'er in a legitimate way." gone."

Qiu Er immediately went home and found his mother to discuss the matter.In fact, he already had an idea, but he lacked the funds to implement it. His money was almost emptied by Qiuhanyu, which was one of the reasons why he was eager to get rid of Qiuhanyu.He believed that without Qiu Hanyu, it would be easy for him to deal with an old woman and two little babies.At that time, the silver that was taken out will return to his pocket.

Second Aunt Qiu had already heard that her son did not want his own mother for the sake of his son's status, and instead adopted Fang's name, so she not only rejected her son's proposal, but also kicked her out.

"Oh, my dear mother!" Qiu Er drove all the servants out, "Mother, listen to me. I am now the owner of the Qiu Mansion, so I just need to find a way to get rid of Qiu San'er." , the matter in this mansion is what I say, I said mother, you are the wife that your father is marrying, who can say otherwise? It’s hard to say, mother, after a hundred years, I will bury you and father together, and eat the incense of future generations. It's you, her Fang is a lonely ghost, what a fart!"

Qiu Er's words obviously moved Aunt Qiu Er, and she no longer spoke harshly to her son, "Is what you said true?"

"Mother, that Mrs. Fang sees that I am not pleasing to the eye, and wants to eat my flesh. You have been protecting me all these years. Even if I am a beast, I can tell the difference between distance and distance. Who should I get close to!" Qiu Er I swear to God, but these words are enough.

Aunt Qiu Er still believed in her son, her face softened, "What did you just say? How do you get rid of Qiu San'er?"

Qiu Er said her plan again, and Aunt Qiu Er pondered for a while, then got up and took out her jewelry box, "I gave you all the silver around me before, and I still have some left to clean up. It was all given to me by your father..."

"Mother, as long as this is done, I will not only bring you back the jewelry, but also double the money you gave me before." Qiu Er promised.

Aunt Qiu Er reluctantly touched the box, and ruthlessly stuffed the box into her son's hands, "You must remember what you said today!" Qiu Er confessed again and vowed not to mention it.After getting the jewelry, he immediately went to exchange it into a bank note, and took it to the county government office.

Not long after Qiu Er came out of the county yamen, a low-value yamen servant sluggishly wandered out of the yamen and walked out of the city.If Yunwei was around, he would definitely feel that this person was kind, because he was the leader of the servants who went to Yun's house to collect taxes for the first time, and he was also the one who brought back the money that Yun Qin Huaihua took away.

It turned out that Qiu Hanyu had bought this person long ago, asking him to pay attention to whether Qiu Er had been to the Yamen, and what he did when he went.Unless necessary, most people are not willing to go to the yamen, and Qiu Er has never appeared in the yamen, but today, he made two trips.Especially the second time, when Qiu Er went to the yamen to do something, the yamen servant couldn't find out. The yamen servant thought that this matter might be something that Qiu Hanyu asked him to pay attention to, so after Qiu Er left, he asked for leave and left the city. Come to the other courtyard to report.

Qiu Hanyu thanked the yamen servant and gave him a big purse before sending him away.After seeing off the yamen servants, Qiu Hanyu changed into clothes and entered the city, then went to a restaurant to order a pot of wine and a few side dishes to while away the afternoon, and at night, he visited the county magistrate and his master through the back door of the yamen.

"The third son came just in time. I was just telling the master that I want to talk to you. Let's talk in the study." The county magistrate originally found a relationship before his term expired and wanted to be transferred to Maoliang County in the northwest as a parent officer.Because there is an exchange market in Maoliang County, many merchants from Persia and Dashi will trade here, so the pockets of the parents and officials who have served here are all bulging.

The county magistrate was very satisfied with this vacancy, and waited wholeheartedly to take up the post in Maoliang when his term expired. As a result, Qiu Hanyu reported Yunqin Sophora japonica for setting fire to it.Originally, the county magistrate should have hated Qiu Hanyu in his heart, but Qiu Hanyu revealed some news to him, which made the county magistrate skeptical. Now that the conscription order has been issued, the county magistrate, as a member of the officialdom, only needs to inquire a little bit, how can he not know Situation in the Northwest.

The magistrate of the county secretly thought that it was dangerous, and unconsciously he had a good impression of Qiu Hanyu who saved his life.The three of them entered the study, and the county magistrate gave the master a wink, and the master took the initiative to say: "At the beginning of the day, I don't know where your elder brother got the news and came here with something to ask about the conscription. This time the conscription If there are two sons in the family, one son must enlist in the army. After your family is divided, it can be regarded as two households, but your elder brother has to close the household when he adopts the name of the Lingtang. Originally, we thought that your elder brother came to give gifts. You want to suspend the household closing, but your elder brother has to speed up the process, and has already agreed to send people from your family to serve in the military..."

The master paused and didn't continue, but anyone with a brain can guess that the person Qiu Er said was definitely not himself.

Qiu Hanyu nodded, without any unnecessary expression on his face.

Seeing that Qiuhanyu didn't speak, the master took a look at the magistrate, and after getting permission, he said what the two discussed, "Third son, although our master accepted your brother's gift, there is still something to do about it." , the master has told me to put this matter on hold, and I will close the household for you brothers after the conscription is over."

Qiu Hanyu stood up and saluted the county magistrate and master, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord and my master. I hope that my lord can join our brother's household according to my elder brother's wishes. As the head of the Qiu Mansion, my elder brother must fulfill his promise. Since my elder brother said that there will be people from the Qiufu to serve in the military, then there will definitely be people, and you don’t have to worry about it. Qiumou came here to bother you this time, not because of this matter, but because Qiumou is getting married."

"Married?" The county magistrate was somewhat puzzled why Qiu Hanyu came to the county government office to tell him that he was married.It was the master who turned his head quickly, "Congratulations, the third son is here to send wedding invitations?"

"The wedding invitation is still being prepared, and it will be delivered by Qiu Mou in person for my lord and master in another day. I also invite my lord and my master to have a glass of wedding wine at that time." Thinking of the upcoming marriage with Yun Wei, Qiu Hanyu's expression softened Not a lot.

However, this time the master didn't understand either. "Third Young Master, this is..."

"I haven't told my lord yet, but Qiu's partner is a county magistrate, Yunwei Yun scholar. Originally, after planning to get married, Qiu moved her household registration to Yun's family, and now I'm asking my lord for a little favor..." Qiu Han As he spoke, Yu took out a stack of banknotes from his lapel.

The magistrate and master of the county have already become human beings after so many years in the officialdom. Qiu Hanyu only mentioned it a little and understood what he meant. "What is the third son doing? I understand what you mean. This matter is just a matter of raising your hands. I will thank the third son for his kindness to my life. I will help you with this matter."

"My lord's words are serious, and Qiu didn't dare to take the grace of saving my life. It was my lord's good fortune that allowed me to escape the catastrophe. My lord Qiu couldn't see this little money. I just troubled everyone in the yamen to do some extra things. Qiu felt very sorry. , please help me to take care of it." Qiu Hanyu spoke humbly, but his demeanor was calm, and he did not bow his knees, making the county magistrate look at him again, and deeply felt that this person could handle things.

"Since you said that, then these things..., master, you can accept them on behalf of the people below, and tell them to handle the matter beautifully." The county magistrate raised his hand and asked the master to take the silver ticket.As for whether the money was really given to the people below, probably only the county magistrate and master knew.

The master took the silver ticket, felt the weight, and smiled at Qiu Hanyu with satisfaction, "I will thank the third son for your generosity on behalf of the boys below."

"Thank you!" Qiu Hanyu saluted the master, then bid farewell to the magistrate and left.

The master personally sent Qiu Hanyu out of the yamen, and returned to the study to report to the county magistrate.

"Old Qian, do you think this Qiu San knew in advance that Qiu Er was going to frame him?" The magistrate sat in a chair and frowned thinking.

"My lord, I think Qiu San'er handled this matter cleverly, and the cleverness lies in the fact that this game is alive." The master rolled his eyes, "Qiu San must have heard that Qiu Er came to the county government, It doesn't matter whether he knows Qiu Er's intentions, he just asked the lord directly, if Qiu Er has good intentions, presumably Qiu San will also offer to move the household registration as a wedding party, but before the conscription list is finalized. Unfortunately, , Qiu Er's intentions are not right, as a concubine, can he become the head of the family, is it because of his brother's concession? Not only is he ungrateful, but he also has the heart of harming others. If I were Qiu San, I would also punish him. The roster of conscription is confirmed, There is one person from the Qiu Mansion, and Qiu San'er is already a member of the Yun family when he pulls people out, so Qiu Er is the only one who can get out from the Qiu Mansion?"

The county magistrate nodded and shook his head again, "It's true that this situation is alive, but don't forget, who proposed the matter of letting Qiu Er adopt the aunt's name. Qiu Er and Qiu San brothers are at odds The whole city knows about it. I guess Qiu San knew about the conscription, so he set up this situation for Qiu Er. If Qiu Er had any conscience, Qiu San might let him go. But obviously Qiu Er's every move is within Qiu San's expectations."

The master nodded while listening, and felt that the magistrate's analysis was much more reasonable than his, but, "My lord, Qiusan once reminded you that my going to Maoliang to work here is a disaster rather than a blessing. I don't know if my lord remembers it. At that time, we It’s not long since the relationship was cleared up, and the matter of going to Maoliang has not been settled, I have never mentioned this matter to anyone irrelevant, even my mother-in-law doesn’t know, my lord..."

"I didn't tell anyone..." A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the magistrate.
