Qin Ziyin behind her also had a look of emotion on her face, faintly sobbing.

Su Qi'an stood up, comforted Qin Ziyin, and said gently, "You are the one who decides this time. Whatever you think, your husband-in-law will do it."

Qin Ziyin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said to Su Qian, "I want my husband to save my eldest brother."

"Okay, let me take my mother-in-law to have a good rest first. I'll leave this matter to my husband."

Qin Ziyin helped Qin Liu and turned around to leave. Su Qi'an and Qin Yueshan were the only ones left in the yard.

As for Li Xiaomei, she left with great discernment.

Some things need to be understood in detail before you can plan for the next step.

Su Qian'an said, "The Qin family is considered a big family in Lingbei County. If we spend a little money to clear it up, the bandits should know how to deal with it. After all, offending a businessman will not be worth the loss."

Qin Yueshan shook his head and said, "No, I thought it was the bandits who were greedy for money and wanted to extort money."

"For merchants and escorts like us, when this happens, they are always friendly to make money, and Quan takes it as a loss of wealth and avoids disaster. Who knows that those bandits, after receiving the money, not only did not let Wu'er go, but they also regarded Wu'er as a

Meat tickets, constant extortion.”

"This time the quotation reached 200,000 taels, which is far beyond my affordability. They said that if they didn't pay, they would kill Wu'er immediately. I really had no choice, so I wanted to ask my good husband for help.

"

Su Qi'an raised his eyebrows and asked again, "The bandits in Lingdong County are so rampant. How can it be that the local magistrate does nothing? It doesn't depend on the name of the Qin family, but also on Qin Huai's identity. At least he can sell his face."

Qin Yueshan smiled bitterly, "Huai'er, he no longer has the reputation of being a great scholar."

This time, Su Qian was stunned for a while.

Qin Huai, Qin Ziyin's second brother, took good care of Su Qi'an during the county examination half a year ago. This was because Su Qi'an didn't hate the Qin family until now.

Qin Huai was ranked sixth in the county examination half a year ago and was a real success. What happened in the past six months?

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he quickly seemed to smell something wrong and spoke.

"Could it be the Qiu Weizhou Examination a month ago?"

"Yes, a month ago, Huai'er took part in the Qiu Wei Prefectural Examination. Instead of passing the exam, he said he had cheated on the prefectural exam and failed on the spot. In the end, he was deprived of his honorary title and demoted to a commoner."

"Later? Where is Qin Huai?"

"I also want to know where my Huai'er is. After being kicked out of the state examination room, Huai'er disappeared inexplicably. I spent a lot of money to inquire about the news in the state city, but there was no news."

Speaking of this, Qin Yueshan's expression was obviously a little downcast. After all, whoever else would be unable to withstand such successive blows.

Su Qian's eyes were solemn at this time and he remained silent for a long time.

Qin Yueshan was a little uneasy. He thought Su Qi'an was going to give up because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a plan specifically targeting the Qin family.

We all know that it is a pit of fire. Whoever jumps into it may not be able to protect himself.

It was reasonable for Su Qi'an to shrink back. After all, he didn't provide any help when Su Qi'an was in such a desperate situation.

Today's Qin family is like a crumbling broken ship. Who will catch up with me and save it?

Qin Yueshan sighed and was about to speak when Su Qian spoke.

"This matter is indeed difficult to handle, and there must be a conspiracy behind it, but no matter how difficult it is, I, Su Qian, will take over this matter, not only for Xiaoyin, but also for Qin Huai."

Listening to what Su Qi'an said, Qin Yueshan's old eyes were obviously filled with tears.

He was so excited that he knelt down directly towards Su Qi'an. Fortunately, Su Qi'an had quick eyesight and quick hands to help him.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing? If Xiaoyin sees this, how should I tell my son-in-law to behave? Besides, we are not a family. One family can speak the same language as two families."

"Yes, yes, the virtuous son-in-law is right. I am just confused. As long as the virtuous son-in-law comes to the Qin family in the future, the Qin family will definitely help him."

Su Qian nodded and chatted with Qin Yueshan for a few more words. It was almost getting dark.

Qin Yueshan stayed one night in Dongshan Village and rushed back to the county seat the next day.

Although the Qin family has been hit one after another, it has not completely collapsed. At this time, the more important it is for Qin Yueshan to step in and take charge of the overall situation.

Su Qi'an understood this and sent him back to the city without spending too much time in Qin Yue Mountain.

As for the Qin Liu family, they stayed in Dongshan Village to accompany Qin Ziyin. After not seeing each other for so many years, mother and daughter naturally had endless topics to talk about.

Su Qi'an has already said hello to Fang Jingzhi. The Qin family can at least live a stable life in Lingbei County.

Half a day after sending Qin Yueshan away, Su Qi'an gathered his troops and planned to go to Lingdong County.

This time, we did not bring the new army. The new army is a secret trump card and must not be moved until the critical moment. As for the confidants such as Su Yong, Tong Zhan, Li Hu, and Zhao Da, Su Qian did not bring any of them.

They all had more important things to do and were inseparable. This time Su Qi'an only brought Tieniu, Shui Sheng, and two village protection teams.

In total, there are only about forty people.

Not to mention Qin Ziyin, Li Hu, Zhao Da was worried about these manpower, even Fang Jingzhi was worried.

Fang Jingzhi even suggested sending a hundred government officials to escort him.

Su Qi'an rejected this proposal. He smiled and said, "Bringing so many people to Lingdong County is to save people or to suppress bandits?"

Just this sentence made Fang Jingzhi shut up.

Thinking about it, more than a hundred government officials rushed over, not to save people, but because they thought Qin Wu didn't die quickly enough.

And Su Qi'an is not worried about what mishaps he will encounter in Lingdong County.

Even if the banditry in each county is serious, it has not reached the point of occupying the county seat. Regardless of his identity as Dongshan Bo, the magistrate of Lingdong County must give him face just because of his reputation as a leader.

Moreover, his safety must be strictly protected, for fear that something might happen to him in Lingdong County.

After all, Su Qi'an was a member of the Lingbei County Juren. If something unexpected happened in another county, regardless of whether the superiors could spare him, I'm afraid Fang Jingzhi would have to rush over to settle the score with him.

Su Qi'an planned to enter Lingdong City in this fair and aboveboard way.

The less a person carries, the safer he actually is.

This extremely dangerous method of using himself as bait is probably something only Su Qian can do.

Having said that, on this departure, Li Hu, Zhao Da and the others gave Tieniu and Shui Sheng countless instructions.

Even if he dies, he must ensure Su Qi'an's absolute safety.

The two of them nodded heavily, feeling the urge to die immediately for Su Qi'an.

When had they ever been escorted by Su Qi'an like this?

Never before, Su Qian's selection of them this time is his absolute trust in the two, as well as the third and fourth teams.

Even if the sky falls, they have to hold on.

Su Qi'an stood in front of the two teams, and he didn't even need to say anything. The eyes of the third team and the fourth team were already filled with enthusiasm.

Perhaps even Su Qi'an didn't know that on weekdays, these four village protection teams often secretly compared each other.

Because of the ease of use, teams one and two often follow Su Qi'an on missions, while teams three and four follow Su Qi'an much less frequently.

Being able to follow Su Qi'an on a mission has become an honor for the four detachments.

After waiting for so long, it was finally Tieniu and Shui Sheng's turn. How could the third and fourth teams be so excited?

They secretly swore that they would not embarrass Su Qi'an during their first mission.

Su Qi'an glanced at everyone and nodded slightly. He brought Tieniu and Shuisheng this time, so he naturally had his considerations.

The third and fourth teams really need to be brought out for some training. Only in this way can this village protection team exert its greatest value.

Su Qian said softly, "Let's go."

The next moment, teams three and four, led by Tieniu and Shuisheng, set off first.

Su Qi'an gathered in the middle and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the distance, Qin Ziyin stood under the eaves, watching from a distance. Beside him, Mrs. Qin Liu came from the house and joked.

"It seems that my Xiaoyin's soul has been completely taken away by Mr. Su."

"Well, not only my soul, I can give everything as long as my husband is willing."

Qin Ziyin did not show a shy look, but said seriously.

This scene actually made Mrs. Qin Liu sigh with emotion.

She knew that her daughter really married a man worthy of her trust.

She also understood how outstanding her uncle was. After staying in Dongshan Village for so many days, Qin Liu followed others and called Su Qi'an sir.

In Dongshan Village, what Qin Liu saw was how much respect countless villagers had for Su Qi'an.

That feeling made her know that no matter what happened in the future, the Qin family would have to embrace Su Qian's lap.

They were really blind to such a talent with unlimited potential and almost lost it. Fortunately, her daughter caught it in time.

Otherwise, they will all cry to death.

Mrs. Qin Liu looked at Qin Ziyin and said, "Xiaoyin, you have to catch such a good man like me. With my talent, there will be a lot of girls coming forward."

"My mother is not afraid of my husband taking concubines. You are an excellent man. Taking concubines is normal. But I hope you can work harder. Why has it been so long and there is still no movement in your stomach?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ziyin blushed and looked at Qin Liu. It took him a long time to say a word.
