Thinking about this matter, Xu Shiqiu's mood became extremely bad.

Even if he knew that he was currently unable to personally deal with this matter, thinking about how his mother would be involved in this matter left him in an extremely bad mood.

Old Madame Xu was someone who had once accompanied Old General Xu. After she finished speaking to Xu Shiqiu, she immediately gave the orders in front of him.

"Take my post to the county. Tell them about Yi Town and have them send someone over." After saying that, the Old Madame Xu saw that Xu Shiqiu seemed to want to speak, and sighed. He then continued: "After all, we are only passing through here today.

Xu Shiqiu understood that his mother was right.

Currently, he did not have any official position. If his elder brother was here, he would not dare to say anything more about the matters of Yi Town.

However, he was different. He had no official position, and if he tried to attack in private, he might be bitten back.

"Then, Mother, should we send someone to check on the Mayor's family now?" Xu Shiqiu understood that even if the person backing Yi Town was a county magistrate, he would not dare to shield him.

Although Xu Shiqiu did not have an official position, his Xu Family was something that could directly face a saint.

Let alone the fact that his in-laws in the Xu Family were the Prince Duan, even if he did not tell Prince Duan about this matter, his big brother's official position was enough for the county magistrate to not dare to shield the mayor of Yi Town.

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you." Old Madame Xu also knew that if she did not allow Xu Shiqiu to do anything, he would not be able to hold it in, so in the end, she would hand the matter over to Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu was very happy after hearing what Old Madame Xu said. He quickly called for the male servants at home and told them to take care of the Mayor's family.

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished giving orders, Xu Feng's second son, Xin Er, knocked on the Old Madame Xu's door.

"Grandmother, it's me."

Xin ge opened his mouth and said these words, but Xu Shiqiu's eyes immediately lit up: "Xin ge, come in." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then looked towards Old Madame Xu and spoke out: "Mother, I arranged for Xin ge to follow the person who went to report to the inn."

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the Old Madame Xu frowned as he 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 room, he happened to hear Old Madame Xu's words. After quickly closing the door, he quickly walked in front of Old Madame Xu and greeted him: "Grandmother, don't blame Uncle Qiu. I took the initiative to ask for a follow today."

Xu Xin was the second son of the Xu family. Because he was the second son of the Xu family and had his uncle's two Cousin as well as his own brother, he wasn't taken seriously when he was at home.

But in just a few months of Xiahe Village, he was discovered by Xu Shiqiu to be extremely suitable for cultivating martial arts.

At this time, he glanced at Xu Shiqiu from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu had no intention to speak, he then looked towards Old Madame Xu and continued: "Grandmother, I am already eleven. I don't need to do anything at home, I just want to work with Uncle Qiu. Now that I've finally had a chance to learn more, you wouldn't disagree, would you? "

After seeing Old Madame Xu finish speaking, Xu Xin used her serious eyes to stare at Old Madame Xu.

The Old Madame Xu naturally did not stop Xu Xin from making a comeback. She was just worried that something might happen to Xu Xin.

After all, Xu Xin's parents had already left for the capital. He would stay behind to follow his own fourth uncle and his own son.

Now that his own Fourth Uncle wasn't here, if something really happened to him, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Xu Feng.

However, what Xu Xin said just now made her unable to blame Xu Shiqiu. After all, what Xu Xin said was correct.

He was already eleven years old. In an ordinary family, a boy who was ten years old was indeed the age to learn how to work.

"Sigh, of course grandma would agree with your ability to learn. However, this is not a familiar place for us to be here. If you were to rashly follow us, and were to be discovered, your grandma would have no way to explain it to your father. "

Old Madame Xu saw that Xu Xin had just finished speaking, and Xu Xin immediately looked at her happily: "Grandmother, don't worry, my face is very ordinary. Even if I were to throw it in front of those people, they wouldn't be able to remember it."

Xu Xin saw that Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, so Xu Shiqiu laughed and said: "Mother, you don't know, Brother Xin is especially talented, as long as it's something he's heard, she would probably learn it. "We all don't know the Yi Town dialect, but I can learn seventy or eighty percent of it." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu saw that Xu Xin's eyes were shining with excitement, and then he said: "But today, I was indeed careless, and in the next time, I will arrange someone to go with Xin Er. So even if something happens, one of them will always come back. "

Everyone could hear that Xu Shiqiu was joking. After all, it was hard to find a scout as talented as Xu Xin.

There were so many grandsons and granddaughters of the Xu Family. Currently, only Xu Xin had this kind of talent.

Old Madame Xu also understood what Xu Shiqiu meant, and laughed while glaring at him. Then she looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Brother Xin, did you manage to catch me today?"

"If Grandma hadn't asked, I would have forgotten." Xu Xin looked at Old Madame Xu and laughed foolishly before scratching her head. Then, under the gaze of the crowd, he said: "The employee of the inn found a man selling vegetables at the back door. I have been following the man selling vegetables and watched him enter the mayor's house. Originally, I planned to directly come back, but not long after, I saw the mayor's two sons bringing that vegetable seller out. "

Saying that, Xu Xin looked up at Xu Shiqiu somewhat guiltily. Seeing that did not scold him, he continued: "I have followed them all the way to an alley north of the town. This alley was very chaotic, there were all sorts of people here. I remember that Uncle Qiu said that you can't casually enter this sort of place, so he was always standing guard at the intersection.

They waited for an hour before they left. After listening closely for a while, I heard them say, 'Never let them get out' or 'Blame them for being nosy'. Hearing this, I guessed that Fourth Uncle and the rest were all being locked up here. Because I thought about that, I didn't continue to follow them and just came back. "

After saying this, Xu Xin was a bit embarrassed. Uncle Qiu originally wanted him to keep an eye on the person who went to the inn to report, but after hearing this news, he hurriedly came back.

Xu Shiqiu did not blame Xu Xin, since he had heard about the news regarding Xu Jie. Xu Xin coming back excitedly to find him, so this matter was within reason.

"It's fine, I already have an idea of what's going on."

After Xu Shiqiu consoled Xu Xin for a bit, he looked up towards the Old Madame Xu and said: "Mother, I want to bring some people to the alley Big Brother Zhenbei is talking about."

When Old Madame Xu heard Xu Shiqiu, she immediately understood what he meant. She did not allow Xu Shiqiu to do what he had done previously, but if he did not allow him to do it now, he would feel that he was useless.

After pondering for a moment, Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "You can go, but you have to protect yourself and Madame Dong well."

Dong Shu had been obediently sitting at the side the entire time. Only when she heard Old Madame Xu's words did she raise her head to look at him and say: "Mother, there is no need to worry. Maybe by the time we reach there, Fourth Brother and Mister Shi will have already thought of a way out."

Dong Shu had only casually said that, but Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu who heard her words quickly looked at each other.

They all had a bold guess that Xu Jie and Shi Yuan might really be able to escape with their servants when they reach the northern alley.

But even though they had this guess, Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu didn't say it out loud.

Because Xu Shiqiu wanted to go to the north side of the town, the matters concerning the Mayor's house were still handled by the Old Madame Xu in the end.

In the evening, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had a simple meal before changing into light and light clothes, waiting for the sky to darken.

The sky gradually darkened, and the busiest time of the inn began. Xu Shiqiu finally brought Dong Shu, Xu Xin, and a few of her family's most capable servants to head towards the north of the town.

Although Xu Xin had only come by once in the day, he was very familiar with this place.

He brought Xu Shiqiu and the others and just as they reached the intersection of the north side street, before he even had the chance to speak, he saw Xu Shiqiu staring with wide eyes.

"Uncle Qiu, what's wrong?"

Xu Xin saw that Xu Shiqiu had just finished asking this question, so he pointed at the black smoke that was rising from not too far away and said: "Xin ge, maybe we don't need to go and save him anymore."

Because he had already guessed it before, when Xu Shiqiu saw the black smoke, the first thing he thought of was that Xu Jie and the others might have ran out by themselves.

Xu Xin did not 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 say: "Uncle Qiu, how about I bring someone to take a look?"

The moment Xu Xin finished speaking, before Xu Shiqiu could even reply to his words, Dong Shu had already clearly seen the figure that appeared in front of him.

"Master, Brother Xin, quickly take a look." Dong Shu pointed to the few figures that ran out and continued to ask in surprise, "Are they Fourth Brother and Mister Shi?"

The moment Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Xin clearly saw the few figures that were running towards them.

"Autumn and Time!" Xu Jie first saw Xu Shiqiu, then he saw Xu Xin who was following behind Xu Shiqiu, "Brother Xin, are you here too? "Did you know we were going to set a fire tonight?"

"Did you set the fire?"

Xu Shiqiu said in shock. Before he could ask further, he heard Shi Yuan gasping for breath, "Quick, go, don't get caught."

Hearing Shi Yuan's words, how could Xu Shiqiu and Xu Jie dare to speak anymore. One of them grabbed Dong Shu's waist and the other quickly pulled on his nephew's arm, turning around and running away.

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

Just as they returned to the inn, the Old Madame Xu received a message that the mayor's family had sent a few children out in the darkness of the night.

"Child, their family's child?"
