After Zhou Qiwu went upstairs, he reported to Mr. Jiang Er to the second master as usual that he had sent the official documents to Jingzhao Mansion, and then returned to the yamen to continue his work, as if the scene had not happened just now.

Chai Yian smiled and said to Mr. Jiang, "Second brother, the official in charge of documents, is quite interesting."

Mr. Jiang Ershi introduced, "He is the younger brother of Zhou Qiwen, an aide to Mr. Zhang of Jingzhao Prefecture. He is also an official, has a very good writing and a clear head."

Mr. Jiang did not like to write those literary things, so eighty or ninety percent of the documents submitted by the soldiers and horses in Xicheng to Jingzhao Mansion were written by Zhou Qiwu, and he had never made any major mistakes in half a year. Mr. Jiang was very satisfied with Zhou Qiwu and gave him a salary of 100 taels of silver at the end of last year. Zhou Qiwu relied on the salary given to him by the Xicheng Yamen, the salary of 20 taels of silver, and his years of savings finally made up enough money. He bought a house in a village not far from Xicheng Gate and moved from his brother's house. After Mr. Jiang heard about it, he sent Jiang Houer to send twenty taels of silver to congratulate him on his house move. Zhou Qiwu was very moved and did his best this year.

Cao Yubao smiled and said, "Why are there people around me who can't make money elsewhere? When I can't make money one day, I will come to surrender to my second brother. I won't be disgusted by me."

Mr. Jiang nodded, "I will keep a seat for you at any time, and you will come whenever you want to."

Cao Yubao asked with a smile, "Really? Isn't the second brother a fool?"

"I'm sorry to you. If you come, you will take care of repairing the ditches for your second brother. If you do something about the road, you will pay you a double salary."

Cao Yubao...

After Mr. Jiang said that, Bai Xun and Chai Yian laughed, "Second brother is so smart."

Mr. Jiang turned the fan in his hand and said very clearly, "Why could Qiao Zengzi be the commander of the North City Military Command? Isn't it because of the prestige of his grandfather and his father? If there is no such relationship, can he play in North City?"

The North City is adjacent to the imperial palace and the imperial city, the royal gardens, temples, royal relatives, and most of the important officials in the court of the third rank or above are in the North City. These people will not take the North City Military and Horses and Masjids seriously.

Cao Yubao sighed, "It turns out that my second brother is not trying to use me, but he is interested in me."

"Cao Si, tell me, what else is useful besides you?" Mr. Jiang asked back.

Cao Yubao was speechless, and Bai Xun slammed the table with a smile. Chai Yian poured a cup of tea for his brothers and sighed, "Except for the second brother, the three of us rely on our family to live."

"If I have a man to rely on, who would be willing to rely on himself in a hard way? Except for the fool who is willing to compete with him." Mr. Jiang Er leaned lazily on the chair, looked down at the table of people eating tea below, thinking about the black-faced mute servant just now, and it has been a long time since he came out to deliver tea.

Zhou Qiwu stayed in the yamen until evening, so he rushed to his elder brother's house. Zhou Qiwen was startled when he saw his second brother's appearance and asked with fear, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that Mr. Jiang Erda made some trouble again? Lord Gong is not up to par for the past two days, so don’t.

Zhou Qi's military general closed the door, sat in front of his brother, and said sadly, "Do you still remember the refugees who appeared outside the West City on the 16th of the first lunar month?"

Zhou Qiwen immediately corrected his second brother, "How many times do you have to tell me about it? You are not a refugee, but a Khitan spy! You must take good care of your mouth and know that disaster comes from your mouth. There is not much lesson you have learned!"

"I just learned some lessons, but they lost their lives. Do you know who I saw in Xicheng today? I was at Jiuquan and the villagers who delivered vegetables and meat to the yamen actually brought tea and water to people in the teahouse in Xicheng City. Brother, why did he come here to be a mate?"

Zhou Qiwen immediately stood up, closed the window in the study room, and asked in a low voice, "Did you recognize it?"

"He used to be Rikasaki from the village, famous for his masterpiece An Zheng. He often went to the yamen to do errands. How could I admit my mistake? Brother, the refugees killed by Lang Chao may be from Jiuquan. If it were not forbidden, how could they leave their hometowns and come to Kang'an? They just arrived in Kang'an and didn't even enter the city gate. What mistakes could they make? When I heard Shi Liangyong talk about the refugees outside the city, I was not anxious about how these people were placed, but for fear that Mr. Jiang would go and meddle in other people's business..." Zhou Qiwu had tears in his eyes, raised his hand to grab the collar of his chest, and said in pain, "Brother, I feel so uncomfortable here, so uncomfortable..."

After Zhou Qiwu calmed down a little, Zhou Qiwen advised, "We are not the ones who harmed us, and we have no benefit of making a penny from this matter. We have a clear conscience..."

"I……"

"Second brother!" Zhou Qiwen interrupted him and said sternly, "You were once the magistrate of Jiuquan County, but you are now just a clerk in the Xicheng Yamen. Think about your parents, think about your younger siblings and children at home. This matter is not your turn to be in charge, and you can't afford it."

Zhou Qiwu lowered his head, and if the thread grass was beaten hard by Qiu Shuang.

"Maybe that man went to Kang'an to marry, and had nothing to do with the refugees outside the West City." Zhou Qiwen patted his shoulder and told him, "Jiang Ershi treats you well, so you must not instigate Mr. Jiang to investigate this case. Mr. Jiang will get married next month. It is the right thing to help him handle the trivial matters of the yamen."

Zhou Qiwu nodded slightly, "Don't worry, brother, I understand in my heart. I didn't mention An Zheng's incident to anyone, but I just felt uncomfortable. I came to the elder brother and said."

Zhou Qiwen felt a little relieved and reminded him, "That's right. When doing things in Kang'an, you must learn to read more, listen more, do more, and say less. You stay in the Xicheng Yamen. As long as you don't do things that make Mr. Jiang Er happy, you will be able to hold this bowl of rice firmly."

Xicheng Yamen is the best in the capital. Shangguan Qingming and his colleagues are kind. Zhou Qiwu has been in the officialdom for several years and naturally understands how rare this job with a salary that is good and smooth for him. "Thank you, brother, for finding such a good job for me."

"I just mentioned in front of Mr. Jiang, "You can use you, but you have the ability." Zhou Qiwen poured a cup of tea for his second brother, "Sit for a while and then go back. If you are late, you won't be able to get out."

Zhou Qiwu was eating with tea, but couldn't help asking, "Brother, why did An Zheng appear in the West City? Who did he come to?"

The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, and a colleague thought of someone in their heads: Mr. Jiang.

If this is true... Zhou Qiwu's eyes lit up, and Zhou Qiwen was scared out of white-haired sweat, "No matter who he is looking for, he must not be allowed to appear in front of Mr. Jiang!"

"Maybe not..." Zhou Qiwu secretly regretted that he was talking too much.

"No matter whether it is, he cannot be allowed to appear in front of Mr. Jiang Er. Otherwise, even the military officers of Xicheng City, even Mr. Jiang Er will be mixed up with a pot of porridge. None of us can think of peace." Zhou Qiwen stood up, "Go back quickly, Brother Yu has something to do."

"Brother..." Zhou Qiwu chased out of the room, but saw that his brother was already running outside the yard. He lowered his shoulders weakly, thought for a moment and left the yard, and walked quickly towards the western city listening theater.
