Xu Qiu and Qin Yumo were also caught off guard.

The woman who was being hunted before is now concerned about other people.

Qin Yumo protected Xu Qiu behind him like his brother-in-law's agent, and immediately asked, "Miss Le Yao, who do you want my brother-in-law to help you save?"

"Mr. Magistrate of Blackfish County, he is now in the Wolf Village."

Qin Yumo was puzzled and asked, "Why is the Blackfish County Magistrate in the mountain village?"

"Because he was captured by the Evil Wolf Camp, and it has been seven or eight days now." Li Leyao did not hide anything.

However, her words made Qin Yumo even more suspicious, and his eyes turned.

He pondered, "If the magistrate was arrested, it would be a big deal. Why didn't anyone report it to the court?"

Qin Yumo remembered that when he was in the capital, he had never heard of a county magistrate being arrested.

This has already risen to the level of rebellion.

Li Leyao smiled bitterly.

Reluctantly, he told the truth: "Because the county magistrate, the governor, and the chief clerk all thought that this matter was too big, and if they reported it, they might lose their heads, so they chose to conceal it."

"But what's the point of hiding it? Will the magistrate come back? In the end, it's still the imperial court that has to clean up the mess!" Qin Yumo said angrily with his cheeks puffed up.

She couldn't understand why the officials had to wait until the problem could no longer be solved before informing the court. Weren't they afraid of being implicated? It was so easy to lose one's head, couldn't they understand? But Xu Qiu suddenly interrupted and said, "Because they want to raise funds to redeem the magistrate and bring him back safely, am I right, Miss Le Yao?"

Li Leyao's eyes widened.

She looked at Xu Qiu in disbelief, and subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"

Looking at Li Leyao's curious eyes.

Qin Yumo's clear eyes also looked at Xu Qiu, and he said with his cherry lips slightly opened: "Brother-in-law, Yumo is also curious about how you knew this?"

[It’s very simple, because the county magistrate is your brother——Qin Qingwen]

[The reason why these officials raised money to rescue him was simply because he was a member of the Qin family. The officials were afraid that they would offend the Qin family if they failed to protect their chief officer. Therefore, they did not dare to report it, fearing that the Qin family would find out.]

When Xu Qiu learned that this was Heiyu County, and the woman in front of him called herself Li Leyao.

He remembered the plot in the novel.

Qin Qingwen passed the imperial examination with his own ability and became the third place in the imperial examination. He was later appointed as the eighth-rank magistrate of Heiyu County, where he served for three years.

Now it is the third year.

But an accident happened on the way.

Qin Qingwen wanted to do something practical for the local people at the end of his term and planned to clear out the bandits in Evil Wolf Mountain, but he didn't expect to get caught.

On the way, Li Leyao, who he met and fell in love with in Heiyu County, ventured to this small mountain village near Elang Mountain in order to save him, also to raise money and even find connections.

If it follows the direction of the plot.

Bandits from Wolf Mountain attacked the village.

At the same time, he forced Li Leyao, who is still alive, to death.

When Qin Qingwen, who was redeemed, learned all this, he gradually turned evil.

His three-year term had expired, and just as he was returning to the capital to report on his work, he received another piece of bad news: the Qin family had collapsed.

A hemp rope breaks only at the thinnest part, and misfortunes only seek out the unfortunate people.

Because of being framed by villains, especially Ye Liangchen's methods, the entire Qin family was implicated.

Even though Qin Jianjia was from Qingluan Valley, Ye Liangchen helped the court to win over Qin Hyun-ya, so the court had the confidence to overthrow the Qin family.

Qin Qingwen was also exiled three thousand miles away.

On the way of exile, he was taken away by Qingluan Valley. From then on, he officially embarked on the path of evil and became Ye Liangchen's number one villain.

But now, the plot has changed because of Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing while traveling. He felt somewhat helpless.

Seeing Qin Yumo's curious eyes, Xu Qiu made up an excuse and said, "According to the normal procedure, it will be reported to the court, but they are hiding it now. There must be a reason. Therefore, we can probably guess that they are also raising money to redeem people and want to cover up this matter so that the people above don't know."

Listening to my brother-in-law's perfunctory excuse.

There was a hint of contempt in Qin Yumo's eyes.

But she couldn't expose it, so angry!

On the contrary, Li Leyao, who was confused, listened to Xu Qiu's analysis and felt it was so impressive that she almost clapped her hands in admiration.

Surprisingly, he was able to analyze things thoroughly with just a few simple sentences.

At this time, Qin Yumo had already heard Xu Qiu's voice and knew who the kidnapped county magistrate was.

But he still asked knowingly: "What is the name of this county magistrate?"

"My surname is Qin, and my given name is Qingwen."

Li Leyao just finished speaking.

Qin Yumo pretended to be surprised and said, "That's my second brother!"

In fact, she really didn't know where her second brother Qin Qingwen was appointed as the county magistrate.

After all, she was heartless in the Qin family. She only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and ignored her second brother. Of course, Qin Qingwen didn't tell him.

If it weren't for Xu Qiu's voice, perhaps she would never know.

When Li Leyao heard Qin Yumo's words, she was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Are you Qin Yumo, the sister of Mr. Qin?"

"Do you know me?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Qin Yumo's eyes.

I thought they had never met before and today was the first time they met.

Li Leyao shook her head, recalling the past, and smiled bitterly, "He mentioned you to me, so I naturally know your name, but now he..."

After saying this, Li Leyao's eyes revealed a trace of worry.

With Xu Qiu around, Qin Yumo was not too worried. Instead, she patted her shoulder gently.

Comforting her, "Sister Le Yao, don't worry, isn't your brother-in-law still here?"

As Qin Yumo spoke, he glanced at Xu Qiu beside him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Xu Qiu: “…”

He always felt that something was wrong.

Alas~ Xu Qiu thought about the Qin family's meticulous care and help for him over the past few days.

It is only natural to save Qin Qingwen in terms of emotion and reason, in order to repay the Qin family's kindness. He will save Qin Yumo regardless of whether he asks for help actively or not.

Xu Qiu is a man who will never let go of any grudge, but will always repay a favor; this is his principle in life.

"Will he really help?"

Li Leyao said in surprise, her original worry now turned into a bright smile.

She didn't even know Xu Qiu.

He didn't even know that Qin Yumo had a brother-in-law.

The reason was that Qin Qingwen had never returned home during his three years in office in Heiyu County, and they had even rarely exchanged letters. On the contrary, Xu Qiu had married into the Qin family three months ago.

Not to mention that Li Leyao didn't know, even Qin Qingwen didn't know that he had a brother-in-law.

"Don't worry, I will save the people."

Xu Qiu assured her.

But at this point, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "But there is no free lunch in the world."

Qin Yumo and Li Leyao were stunned for a moment.

Li Leyao, on the other hand, was not too upset. She had already prepared herself to be ripped off.

Xu Qiu said calmly: "The price for me to save him is that you use your channels to help me find out where strange things are happening."

He wanted to find some opportunities, so he had to take action on mysterious things.

Maybe you can find something useful, such as something like a demon pill.

Li Leyao was puzzled when he heard this, "Is it so important?"

“It’s very important to me.”

"No problem, Le Yao will do her best to help you find it."

Li Leyao thought it was not a big deal, so she agreed immediately.

Immediately, Xu Qiu looked at Qin Yumo and said lightly, "And you, the price is to be my maid for three months."
