Let's continue to look at the situation on Xiang Kang's side. He was young and strong, but after all, he went to the county town first and then walked back to Yan Jiting in the neighboring county. When Xiang Kang took Xiang and Xiang Yang hurried to the gate of the Yu family, it was still almost dark. At the same time, Xiang Kang and Xiang Yang were all tired all the way. However, Xiang Kang and others did not dare to delay at all. They symbolically greeted the old servant of the Yu family who was already familiar with. Without waiting for the news, they rushed into the Yu family's door.

All the way, he was worried that his brother would be too impulsive to cause a big disaster. What made Xiang Kang breathe a sigh of relief was that although Yu's precious son Yu Zhi sat in the owner's seat in the living room of the Yu family with a sad face, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan and other Xiang brothers were sitting in the living room of the Yu family whispering and talking in a low voice, unlike the fact that they had already made the matter so hard that they were out of control.

Xiang Kang's status among the Xiang brothers unknowingly changed a lot. Seeing Xiang Kang coming in hurriedly, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan couldn't help but show joy on their faces and stood up to greet Xiang Kang. Xiang Zhuang said with some complaints: "Xiang Kang, why are you here? Everyone is waiting for you alone."

"It's already fast enough." Xiang Kang explained casually, "In order to come as soon as possible, I might have implicated Feng Zhong this time. He has asked me to see the county magistrate Zhou for me. Xiang Ta and Xiang Yang happened to find me. I couldn't wait to see the county magistrate, so I left Feng Zhong and came directly."

After explaining a few casually, Xiang Zhuang couldn't wait to look forward to Yu Zhiwen, who had also stood up to greet him, "Brother Yu, what happened?"

"Brother Xiang Kang, that Shan Youwei bullied people!" Yu Zhi's voice was full of grievances, and he said like a child complaining: "He deliberately asked me to serve in the military service, and wanted to deliberately kill me, so that I could send my life to the frontier and avenge his son."

"Shuofu?" Xiang Kang frowned. It has been a while since he traveled over. Xiang Kang had known that the Qin Dynasty's corvee service was divided into two types. One was called renewal. It was to participate in large-scale civil engineering projects under the leadership of the Qin court or local governments. For example, to build a tomb or digging canals for Qin Shihuang, build palaces, etc. Although it was hard and tiring, each adult only had to serve for one month a year, and his life was relatively guaranteed. Unless he was particularly unlucky to encounter an accident, he could basically come back in a hurry, and the danger coefficient was very small.

Another type is the garrison, which is to go to the Kuhan Frontier to participate in various military operations. In addition to receiving strict military training, it also has to patrol the frontier and fight against foreign enemies. At the same time, it has to participate in the construction of the Great Wall and other military projects. Compared with the more military service, it is not only more difficult and tiring, but the service time may be extended to several months or even years at any time. The mortality and disability rate are also much higher. Most of the garrison soldiers who were recruited to guard the border last year were not yet able to return.

After frowning, Xiang Kang remembered something again and hurriedly asked Yu Zhi: "Do you want to serve in the military service in the order of identity? Or is the Shan Youwei deliberately looking for trouble and finding excuses to send you to serve in the military service?"

In the Qin Dynasty, the recruitment of garrisons was divided into five stairs. The first stairs were criminal officials, son-in-law and merchants. The second stairs were adult men who had been son-in-law and merchants. The third stairs were people whose grandparents and parents had been son-in-law and merchants. The fourth stairs were left neighbors (left lane), and the fifth stairs were right neighbors (right lane). - By the way, a certain surnamed Chen and Wu in history were the garrisons recruited by the Qin Dynasty government in the fourth stairs.

"I deliberately made excuses." Yu Zhi said quickly: "Last year, the harvest in my field was good, and most of the excess grain was sold to the market. Once, I personally took people to the market for sale in Lingxian. Dan Youwei didn't know where to find out the news, so he insisted that I was in a businessman and wanted to force the village and Lidian to change my household registration to a city (merchant), and then sent me to serve in the military service."

"Young Master Yu, this is your wrong thing." Xiang Ta, who had just followed Xiang Kang to the Yu family, interrupted: "You have so many servants, why do you have to go to the market to do business in person?" - People with a little status during the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty did not enter the market. The slaves usually took care of the responsibility of buying and selling things. This is also the reason why the Xiang brothers met the Yu family twice but did not meet Yu Jian or Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi blushed and said, "I heard that some slaves from wealthy families colluded with merchants in the market and deliberately made money with coupons with incorrect prices (fake invoices to issue high prices). I was worried that this was the case at my family, so I went to do a transaction and check the situation."

After finishing a stuttering explanation, Yu Zhi quickly said, "But just once, I only went once. The Dan Youwei used this excuse to demote me to a city, and he deliberately abused me. Mr. Xiang Kang said that you have more ideas and more ways to do it, and this matter has something to do with you. You have to help me, you have to help me."

He didn't mind that Yu Zhi didn't regard himself as his brother-in-law in his name. Xiang Kang quickly thought about it and asked again: "Have your household registration changed?"

"Not yet." Yu Zhi said quickly: "It was Lidian (the director of the neighborhood committee) who quietly passed the news to my house yesterday, saying that Shan Youwei brought a message to the village and asked him to change my household registration to the city registration using the excuse that I had done business in the market, and then sent me to serve in the military service. It has not changed yet, but it may be the first time in one or two days."

After saying that, Yu Zhi begged again, "Your Madam Xiang Kang, you have to help me, you have to help me, I am the only seed of the Yu family, and I can't go to the border to die in vain. My father was already sick, and after hearing this, he immediately became more ill. He hasn't even gotten up from bed since yesterday."

"If possible, I want to meet Mr. Yu, discuss with him how to solve this matter, and then see what to do." Xiang Kang replied.

"Okay, I'm...." Yu Zhihua suddenly changed his mind and said, "I'll go in and see if my father's health is now. Can you see you?"

"I don't want me to go directly into your house and say what excuses are you looking for." Xiang Kang was angry, but after all, he owed favors from the Yu family, Xiang Kang still nodded in anger and asked Yu Zhi to go in and ask Yu Jian for instructions.

After Yu Zhi left, the brothers of the Xiang family immediately surrounded Xiang Kang again and said angrily: "Xiang Kang, what should I do about this? Should I go to Lingxian to find the Shan Youwei directly?"

"What are you doing in Lingxian? Stop dying?" Xiang Kang asked back, "That Shan Youwei is an official. If we don't say that we may not be able to see him directly when we go to Lingxian. Even if we can see him directly, what can we do if we can do him? We will run away with one knife? Can we run out of the city?"

"What should I do?" Xiang Zhuang asked quickly.

"Don't worry, let me think about it." Xiang Kang shook his head, and while trying to recall the related memories left by Xiang Kang, he thought about it: "It's hard to solve this matter, it's not difficult, it's not difficult, and the key is that it's not that Shan Youwei, but someone else."

"Who else?" Xiang Zhuang asked again, but Xiang Kang stopped answering, but he just tried hard to figure out how to start from other aspects and smash the dream of Shan Youwei deliberately pursuing the Yu family and even killing Yu Zhi.

After a while, Yu Jian came to the front hall with Yu Zhi's support. Xiang Kang hurriedly went up to see the ceremony. Then he realized that it was only a few days before. Yu Jian seemed to be aged in a teenager, with a look as haggard and haggard, a look as weak as he looked, and his voice was even weaker. He moaned and said, "Your Madam Xiang Kang, please forgive me, you all, you are seriously ill, and I didn't personally..."

"Duke Yu, don't say much, you should sit down first." Xiang Kang interrupted Yu Jian's politeness, first helped Yu Zhi help Yu Jian sit down, and then sat next to Yu Jian, then said: "Duke Yu, I already know everything, and I have thought of a way to solve it, but there is no way. You must have some blood this time."

"Some blood is out? What does it mean?" Yu Jian was stunned.

"It is to take out some money and food to open up the joints and resolve this matter." Xiang Kang explained his modern terms.

"How much money should I pay?" Yu Zhi's face was heartbroken, and he asked again with reluctance: "Is there any other way?"

"Yes." Xiang Kang answered very simply, and then said: "There is another way, Mr. Yu, please go with us, first, and then I will take you to a safe place and find a way to come back later."

"You want me to be a fugitive?" Yu Zhi's face turned pale and he said, "If I were caught, I might be beheaded in half." (This punishment is not fictional, from "Zou Yanshu".)

"Then we can only use the first method, whether to ask for money or death, Mr. Yu, please choose." Xiang Kang's answer was even more straightforward.

Yu Zhi closed his mouth, Yu Jian coughed a few times and said, "Young Master Xiang, I'll use the first method. I'll give it to the money and food, but who do I give it to? Should I give it to that Dan Youwei?"

"It's useless to give it to that Shan Youwei." Xiang Kang said: "He doesn't want money, he wants Yu Zhi and your life, or wants you to marry his daughter to his bully son."

"Who will I give to? County Magistrate?" Yu Zhi asked again quickly.

"The relationship between the county magistrate is not easy to leave." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "The Qin law stipulates that household registration is reviewed and ruled by the Lidian in the village (the Qin Dynasty said that the case comparison was originally in the hands of Lidian). As long as he was cleared, he could withstand the pressure of Shan Youwei and the village and not change the registration to your prince. If the Shan Youwei is in charge of the robbery, it will be difficult for him to force Mr. Yu to serve in the garrison."

"But can it work?" Yu Zhi asked with some concern: "Although I and the local Lidian are from the hometown, they have not had a deep relationship and do not have much contact. Can he withstand the pressure of the right lieutenant in the county for me and not change my son's citizenship?"

"As long as you pay, there is no..." Xiang Kang stopped himself in half and said in surprise: "Wait, Mr. Yu, you don't have a deep friendship with local Lidian? Then why did he come quietly to reveal the news to you yesterday?"

"He said that he gave me some advice for the sake of his hometown (memberly fellows). "Yu Jian replied truthfully: "I thank him."

"Then did he say anything else?" Xiang Kang asked, turning his eyes and said, "Have you mentioned me and said I am not worthy of being your son-in-law?"

Yu Jian and Yu Zhi were both a little embarrassed, and then Yu Jian coughed a few more times, nodded and said, "To be honest with Mr. Xiang, he did mention you, and he also belittled you a little, complaining that I was dizzy and promised my daughter to you."

Xiang Kang suddenly understood everything in his heart and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, needless to say, I know everything. Regarding Mr. Yu, Shan Youwei is the mastermind, and the local Lidian is an accomplice. He not only helps Shan Youwei scare you, but also prepares to force you to break off the engagement and marry your daughter to Shan Youwei's ugly son."

"Li Dian is an accomplice? How did you know about Mr. Xiang?" Yu Jian and Yu Zhi were both shocked.

"It's very simple. You and Li Dian have a deep friendship. He doesn't have the risk of offending Shan Youwei. He secretly leaked the news to you in advance." Xiang Kang replied: "Since he took this risk, he deliberately belittled me in his words and outside. In fact, he wanted to help Shan Youwei force you to submit and remarry his daughter to Shan Youwei's ugly son. Shan Youwei and his main purpose are not to kill Mr. Xiang, but to force you to marry his daughter. If it really doesn't work, then consider how to take revenge."

Yu Zhi and Yu Jian suddenly realized together. When the Chui Chou hated Li Dian's helping the evildoer, Yu Zhi gritted his teeth and cursed: "A maid, I'll help the Dan's surname to punish me, and I want my family to thank him. My family's one is so silk!"

"Young Master Xiang, what should I do?" Yu Jian asked again: "Since that Li Dian is an accomplice of Shan Youwei, then he can't help my family anymore?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yu, that Li Dian is not an accomplice of Shan Youwei, but it's a little embarrassed. Since he is an accomplice of Shan Youwei, this matter will be easier." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "There are many excessive means, so there is no need to be so concerned."

"Young Master Xiang, what should I do?" Seeing Xiang Kang's confident expression, Yu Jian couldn't help but feel a little confident in Xiang Kang.

"It's very simple. Tell me all the situation of the Lidian first. If I need it, I will send someone out to inquire immediately." Xiang Kang said confidently: "Tonight, our Xiang brothers will disturb you for a night, and then tomorrow, you will send someone to invite the Lidian, and you will say you have figured it out and ask him to discuss something, and I promise he will definitely come."

Xiang Kang looked very confident when he said this, and his face seemed to emit some brilliance, which made Yu Jian and Yu Zhi and his son feel a little more confident. However, at this moment, outside the window of the front hall, two pairs of clear and transparent beautiful eyes were also staring at Xiang Kang's face. The owner of one of the eyes also whispered: "Sister, Xiang Kang is sitting next to his father."

"He is Mr. Xiang Kang? Little sister, didn't you say he is ugly and scoundrel? Why don't I look like it?" The owner of another pair of eyes whispered.

"He is a scoundrel and often comes to our house to eat and drink. We will definitely be eaten by him tonight. Hey, sister, do you think he is not ugly? Do you really like him?"
