Chapter 90 Set fire
Thinking of this incident, Xu Shiqiu was in a very bad mood.

Even if he understood that he really couldn't deal with this matter himself in his current situation, but when he thought that this matter would require his mother to come forward in the end, he was in a very bad mood.

After all, Mrs. Xu was the person who used to be with General Xu. After she said this to Xu Shiqiu, she gave orders directly in front of Xu Shiqiu.

"Take my post and go to the county, and tell the county magistrate what happened in Yi Town, and ask him to send someone over." After saying this, Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu seemed to want to talk, and after sighing, she finally He continued: "After all, we are just passing by here now, and the affairs of Yi Town must be handed over to the county magistrate."

Xu Shiqiu knew what his mother said was right.

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

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

"Mother, do you want to send someone to visit the mayor's family now?" Xu Shiqiu understood that even if the person behind Yi Town was the county magistrate, he would not dare to cover it up.

Because although Xu Shiqiu has no official position, the Xu family is a family that can face the saint directly.

Not to mention that the eldest family's in-law is King Duan, even if he doesn't tell King Duan about this matter, his elder brother's official position is enough for the county magistrate not to dare to shield the mayor of Yi Town.

"Well, I will leave this matter to you to arrange." Mrs. Xu also knew that if Xu Shiqiu was not allowed to do anything, Xu Shiqiu would feel 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, so he hurriedly called the servants at home and ordered them to guard the mayor's family.

And just after Xu Shiqiu gave his orders, Brother Xin, the second boy of Xu Feng's family, knocked on the door of Mrs. Xu's room.

"Grandmother, it's me."

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

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at him and said, "Brother Xin is only 11 years old, how can you put him in danger?"

Just as Xu Xin entered the room, he happened to hear Mrs. Xu's words. After he quickly closed the door, he quickly walked up to Mrs. Xu to salute and said, "Don't blame Uncle Qiu, Aunt and Grandma, I am the one who volunteered today. Going to follow up."

Xu Xin is the second son of Xu Feng's family, because he is the second child of the second family, and has two cousins ​​from the uncle's family and his own brother, so he was not taken seriously when he was at home.

But after a few months in Xiahe Village, Xu Shiqiu discovered that he was particularly suitable for practicing martial arts, and this kid looked silly, but he was very thoughtful.

At this moment, he glanced at Xu Shiqiu from the corner of his eye, and seeing that Xu Shiqiu had no intention of opening his mouth, he looked at the old lady Xu and continued: "Grandmother, I am also eleven, and I don't need me for family affairs, I just want to I hope to work with Uncle Qiu in the future. Now I finally have the opportunity to let me learn more skills, you will definitely not disagree, right?"

Xu Xin looked at Mrs. Xu after she finished speaking, and then stared at Mrs. Xu with serious eyes.

The old lady Xu naturally didn't stop Xu Xin from speaking out, she was just worried that something would happen to Xu Xin.

After all, now Xu Xin's parents have gone to the capital one step earlier, and he stayed behind to kiss his fourth uncle and his own son.

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

It's just that what Xu Xin said just now made it difficult for her to blame Xu Shiqiu, after all, what Xu Xin said just now was also true.

He is 11 years old this year. In ordinary people's homes, a boy who has reached the age of ten is indeed the age to learn how to do things.

"Hey, aunt and grandma will naturally not disagree with your learning skills. It's just that this is not a place we are familiar with after all. If you follow up so rashly, if you are discovered, aunt and grandma will have no way to explain to your father."

The old lady Xu looked at Xu Xin as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin immediately looked at her happily and said, "Aunt and grandma, don't worry, my face is very ordinary, even if I throw it in front of those people, they won't remember it. "

Xu Xin looked at the old lady Xu who had just finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu also smiled and said: "Mother, you don't know, brother Xin is very talented, as long as he has heard it, he can imitate it. None of us can speak the Yizhen dialect, but I believe you can learn a good deal." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Xin's eyes light up with excitement, and then he said again: "But I was really careless today. , next time, I will arrange someone to be with Brother Xin. This way, even if something happens, one of the two can always come back."

Everyone could hear Xu Shiqiu's words as a joke. After all, it was hard to find a talented spy like Xu Xin.

There are so many grandsons and granddaughters in Xu Er's family, and now only Xu Xin has such talent.

The old lady Xu also understood what Xu Shiqiu meant, and after glancing at him with a smile, she looked at Xu Dao: "Brother Xin, did you gain anything from following me today?"

"Aunt and grandma didn't ask, I forgot." Xu Xin scratched his head after looking at the old lady Xu with a silly smile, and then said under the eyes of everyone: "The clerk of the inn found a man who sells vegetables at the back door. I followed the vegetable seller all the time and watched him enter the mayor's house. Originally, I planned to come back directly, but not long after, I saw the mayor's two sons going out with the vegetable seller."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin looked up at Xu Shiqiu with some guilt, 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. There are all kinds of people. I remember Uncle Qiu said that you can't enter this kind of place at will, so you have been guarding at the intersection.

After waiting for half an hour, the group of them came out.I listened closely for a while, and I heard them say 'absolutely don't let them run out', and 'blame them for meddling'.Hearing this, I wondered if Fourth Uncle and the others were imprisoned here.Because of these thoughts, I didn't continue to follow and came back directly. "

After saying this, Xu Xin was still a little embarrassed. Uncle Qiu originally said that he was the person who told him to keep an eye on the inn clerk to report the news, but after hearing the news, he came back in a hurry.

Xu Shiqiu didn't blame Xu Xin, after all, after hearing the news about Xu Jie, it was reasonable for Xu Xin to come back to him excitedly.

"It's okay, I already have a clue."

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 Zhenbei Xin mentioned."

The old lady Xu understood Xu Shiqiu's meaning as soon as she heard what he said. Xu Shiqiu was not allowed to do the previous things. If he was not allowed to do this thing, he might feel that he was useless.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "You can go, but you must protect yourself and Mrs. Dong."

Dong Shu had been sitting obediently at 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, Fourth Brother and Mr. Shi have already figured out a way Out."

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

They all had a bold guess, maybe when they arrived at Zhenbei Alley, Xu Jie and Shi Yuan really escaped with the servants at home.

But even though they had this conjecture in their hearts, neither Mrs. Xu nor Xu Shiqiu said it out.

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

In the evening, after Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu ate some simple meals, they changed into light, non-obtrusive clothes and waited for the sky to darken.

The sky was getting dark and the busiest time of the inn began. Xu Shiqiu finally took Dong Shu, Xu Xin and a few capable servants at home and headed towards Zhenbei.

Although Xu Xin only came 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 Zhenbei alley, and before he could speak, he saw Xu Shiqiu's eyes widen.

"Uncle Qiu, what's wrong?"

Xu Xin looked at Xu Shiqiu just after asking this question, Xu Shiqiu pointed to the black smoke not far away and said, "Brother Xin, maybe we don't have to save people."

Because there was speculation before, when Xu Shiqiu saw the black smoke coming out, Xu Shiqiu's first thought was that maybe Xu Jie and the others ran out by themselves.

Xu Xin didn't know why Xu Shiqiu said such words, 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 have a look?"

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

"Xianggong, Brother Xin, look quickly." Dong Shu pointed to the figures running out in front of her, and continued in surprise, "Is it Fourth Brother and Mr. Shi?"

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

"Shiqiu!" Xu Jie saw Xu Shiqiu first, and then saw Xu Xin who was following Xu Shiqiu, "Brother Xin is here too? Do you know that we will set fire tonight?"

"You set the fire?"

Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth in surprise, and before he had time to ask more questions, Shi Yuan gasped and said, "Quick, go, don't be chased."

Hearing Shi Yuan's words, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Jie didn't dare to talk too much, one hugged Dong Shu's waist tightly, and the other quickly grabbed his nephew's arm, turned around and ran away.

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

As soon as they returned to the inn, Mrs. Xu received news that the mayor's family had sent a few children out just now in the dark.

"Children, their children?"
