In a rural field on the outskirts of Suzhou, an old farmer's legs are half rolled up, picking lotus roots in the pond.

A wet sweat towel was placed on his shoulders, and the scorching sun was sweating like rain. But Lao Qin didn't feel uncomfortable. The greatest happiness of harvest for a farmer was the harvest. He was full of thought that his eldest grandson could eat crispy lotus root slices tonight.

The son of the old Qin head also had a bright future. When Shenjing was besieged and the court recruited a new army to serve in the king, he went to join the army quietly, which scared the old couple very much. Who knew that after going around in circles, he followed the general to surrender to Dashun first, and then to the Qing Dynasty. He actually threw himself into the general, and now he returned home in glory and stationed in Suzhou. He also brought back a beautiful wife. When his wife came, he was pregnant. The fat grandson was born and immediately became the heart of the whole family.

Four people walked from afar, one of them pointed at him, and Lao Qin straightened his head and looked at him, one of them was his distant cousin.

"Young Master Hou, what I'm talking about to you is him, one of my cousins."

Hou Xuanyan nodded with satisfaction and reached into his arms. The soldier swallowed and stared at his hands with hope.

Hou Xuanyan took out a golden bean, threw it away, and said, "After all, it's a relative, you go, it's hard for you to interfere in this matter."

The soldier collected the golden beans, held them in his palm, and hesitated: "Mr. Hou, my cousin is just an honest and honest farmer..."

Hong Yizhuo said, "Wuliang Tianzun. Just leave if you want to leave, don't talk nonsense."

Hou Xuanyan waved his hand with a smile and said, "How do you speak? They are all your own brothers. Don't worry, we are not good people."

The soldier held the golden beans and thought about it, but turned around and left.

When Xu Yuanbao saw him walking away, he asked with admiration: "Mr. Hou, I really convinced you. How did you calculate such a poisonous plan? No wonder my father always told me that the needle behind the wasp tail is the most poisonous scholar."

He gave him helplessly, and Hou Xuanyan said as he walked: "After the chaos, how can Suzhou City be a solid piece? It will inevitably be full of loopholes. As long as we explore it carefully, there will be some flaws. Even if we don't have this old Qin head today, there will still be old Li head and old Zhang head for us to use. Remember, opportunities are created by ourselves, and you should never wait for nothing."

Seeing the three people coming up with their hair and not shaved, Lao Qin became panicked when he thought of his son's identity.

"Three righteous men, the young man is just an ordinary person, and he is forced to shave his hair. Please give me some advice."

The three of them laughed together, their smiling faces as if they were the Sanqing in Taoist temples, with a kind face; their laughter was like three hyenas, fierce and cruel.

He grabbed Lao Qintou and came to his dilapidated farmyard, a garden made of short fences. Lao Qintou's wife and wife were doing housework in the yard, the whole family was having fun, and the crying of children.

Old Qin's eyes were filled with mist, sobbing, begging for mercy, "Three righteous men, if you want to make trouble, please look for the old man. Let my family go, I'll kowtow to you."

Xu Yuanbao lifted his collar and refused to let him kneel down. Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll borrow something and leave."

When he arrived in the yard, Lao Qin's wife and daughter-in-law also saw that something was wrong and was timid and did not dare to speak.

Hou Xuanyan picked up the child. Seeing that he was handsome and liked him very much, he kicked his feet and started to have fun.

Hou Xuanyan raised the child over his head and turned around, making him grin. "Look, I'm so lucky."

Old Qin bent his knees, and because Xu Yuanbao was lifted up, he knelt in the air and begged.

Hou Xuanyan took off a long life lock from the child's neck and stuffed the child back into the arms of the Qin family's wife. "Little baby, I'll lend you this for a day and let your father bring it back to you?"

The child thought he was playing with him, and he drooled in his wife's arms, staring and smiling.

He waved his hand to signal Xu Yuanbao to put the person down. Hou Xuanyan sighed, put away his smile and said, "Old man, I have been kneeling for a long time, but I can't stand up." After saying that, he didn't look back and walked into the city with two followers.

Xu Yuanbao turned around and said viciously: "We have our brothers around here. Before it gets dark, if you dare to walk out of the yard, you will chop all of you."

The three of them walked to the west city tower in Suzhou. This place was a side gate. Taihu Lake was not far away. In the past, not many people walked. The officers and soldiers guarding the city leaned against the door and slept. When they saw the three people coming over, they scolded: "Who?"

"We are from the countryside and go to our cousin."

The people guarding the city saw that they had not shaved their hair. They should be the local buns who had not yet promoted the shaving order in the countryside, and their attitude changed from scolding to contempt.

"Who is your cousin?"

Xu Yuanbao looked honest and stupid, touched his scalp and said embarrassedly: "My cousin's name is Qin He."

When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they immediately changed their faces and went forward intimately and said, "It turns out that they are the relatives of President Qin. Why didn't you say it earlier? Come, I'll take you there."

Qin He was guarding the city tower and was having a meal. After hearing this, he said in confusion: "How many of me have so many cousins? Take me out to see."

After leaving the city tower, he saw three people dressed in local clothes. Qin He took a closer look and was sure that he had never seen them.

Hou Xuanyan stepped forward and smiled and shouted: "Cousin, you don't know me anymore? I knew you couldn't recognize it, look at this." After that, he held his son's long-lived lock in his hand and swayed back and forth.

Qin He's face changed, his pupils contracted, and his palms felt like the handle of the knife on his waist.

Hou Xuanyan looked at him with a smile, and finally Qin He still said, "It turns out that it is your three cousins. After being a soldier for so long, I really can't recognize you. Come and talk to you."

Entering the city tower, Qin He found a reason and drove the soldiers inside out.

After closing the door, he gritted his teeth and asked, "How is my son? Who are you, what do you want to do?"

Hou Xuanyan found a stool, sat down leisurely, and said, "What's going on with your son is in your hands. We are Han people and want to get the things of the Han people back."

Suddenly, a soldier broke into the door and shouted loudly: "Sir, are you not good! The Gu family rebelled, and the governor went to quell the rebellion. The wealthy families in Suzhou City didn't know what was going on. Let's start a rebellion together. The governor was trapped in the yamen. Let us send troops to rescue him."

"I get it, go out."

"Sir, the military situation is urgent!"

"I'll tell me!"

Although Xiaobing was anxious, he was Qin He's confidant and chose to withdraw.

"How is it, Lord Qin. Open the city gate and you are the heroes who recovered Suzhou. You can stand home and reunite with your family. If you resist stubbornly, you are the traitor. I'm afraid you will kneel down and go to the underworld to look for your relatives."
