Due to the transportation and communication technology of this era, Qin Fa was indeed a bit cheating. When Shan Youwei had already abandoned his post and fled, and when Shan Youwei's family Ji Shang had been forced to explain the truth, the governments of Xiaxiang and Lingxian counties still spent a lot of time and unnecessary energy to investigate the case in detail, resulting in Kang going to Xiaxiang's official temple for trial and evidence as the first report of this case, which wasted a lot of time, which seriously affected Xiang Kang's plan to train militias, and the operation of the Shiling Pavilion blacksmith shop, which suffered a considerable loss in all aspects.

Finally, it was mid-June that Xiaxiangguan Temple convicted Wang Ju and three other Shan Youwei's family members. Lingxian Guan Temple also arrested several implicated Shan Youwei's family and subordinates involved in the case, officially ending this case involving many. At this time, less than a month and a half left before Xiang Kang and Yu Miaoge officially got married.

The wedding period is getting tighter and tighter. Even if Xiang Kang is busy, he has to take time and energy to prepare for his marriage. Although two aunts are worried about Najib, Na Zheng and the invitation to date, the courtyard where Xiang Kang lives is too dilapidated. Not to mention the old Yu family, even the two aunts can't stand it. They urge Xiang Kang to either seize the time to renovate the small dilapidated house or build a few new houses to make a wedding house, and not to be too wronged by Yu Miaoge, who has married from a wealthy family.

The ragged courtyard is Xiang Kang's new weapon research institute and also the place where Xiang Kang hides weapons. Of course, Xiang Kang is unwilling to renovate at the risk of leaking secrets. Building a new house is too costly and time-consuming, so Xiang Kang decided to rent a relatively decent courtyard for the time being as a new house and consider the issue of building a house later-although Xiang Kang knew very well that he might not have such an opportunity. After finally convinced the two aunts to agree to do so, the second aunt ordered Xiang Kang again: "Kang'er, you have to tell the Yu family about this, so that they can also know that you are going to build a new house later, so that they will not misunderstand it."

Of course, the woman's family had to know about living there after marriage. Xiang Kang had to take time out again and specifically go to the old Feng family house where the Yu family currently rented. Unfortunately, Yu Jian and Yu Zhi and his son happened to go back to Yanjiting to check the growth of the crops. Only Yu Miaoge and Yu Gui's sisters were at home. Yu Gui's little girl is now deliberately avoiding Xiang Kang, so only Yu Miaoge came out to see Xiang Kang.

Yu Miaoge is indeed virtuous. Before Xiang Kang finished telling the situation, Yu Miaoge said shyly: "It doesn't matter. If you rent a house, rent a house. If you think renting a house is troublesome, you can live in your original house. Anyway, you can shelter from the wind and rain."

"My place is too broken. Whenever it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly inside. I really can't bear to let you live in." Xiang Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Let's rent a house, Miaoge, where do you like to live in Shilingting Pavilion?"

"You can do whatever you want." Yu Miaoge's face became even more ashamed, and he said, "Young Master, you decide."

"Then I have to choose a yard with a larger house." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "At that time, my brothers will definitely go to our house to eat and drink every day, and will definitely spend the night in our house often. Don't be annoyed by Miaoge."

"No, they should." Yu Miaoge answered this question very readily and mustered up the courage to say: "They are your brothers, young master, and I should receive them when they come to the door."

Speaking of this, Xiang Kang, who actually had no experience in love, could not find any topics. However, Yu Miaoge took the initiative to speak up and said, "Young Master, can you go in and see the little sister?"

"What's wrong with her?" Xiang Kang looked up subconsciously.

He was keenly aware of Xiang Kang's reaction a little nervous. Yu Miaoge felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said: "She has been unable to eat well and sleep well these days, and she has lost a lot of weight. It seems that she has something to do in her heart. Can you persuade her?"

Xiang Kang hesitated for a moment before shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not convenient for me. You are her sister, so you should persuade her."

Knowing that Xiang Kang was deliberately avoiding suspicion, Yu Miaoge did not insist, but said truthfully: "I advised him, but it was useless. I just hope she can figure it out as soon as possible."

After saying that, Yu Miaoge had known why his sister became like this. Yu Miaoge sighed softly, very worried about how to untie the knot in her heart. Xiang Kang, who had already accepted his fate, was afraid that his fiancée would see that he was still peeking at his sister-in-law, so he quickly asked him to say goodbye. Yu Miaoge did not try to keep Xiang Kang, but personally sent Xiang Kang out of the door. He was concerned and repeatedly asked Xiang Kang to take care of his health and never be too tired.

"Oh, I didn't expect that little girl would be so sad. What should I do in the future? I'm too selfish to abandon her for the sake of the money of the Yu family?"

He left the Feng family's old house with a lot of worries. Xiang Kang originally planned to go back to the blacksmith shop to check the situation there. He never thought that he had walked halfway, but he encountered Feng Zhong riding a horse back from the direction of the county town. Xiang Kang went up to greet him out of courtesy, but found that Feng Zhong was dejected when he dismounted and returned the ceremony, his face was full of sorrow, and his emotions were much worse than himself. Xiang Kang asked curiously: "Brother Feng, what happened? Why did he be so worried?"

"Brother, I'm sorry." Feng Zhong forced out some smile and said, "When you got married, I couldn't help. I could only wish you and your younger brothers a happy marriage in advance and grow old together."

"What? Brother, what happened to you?" Xiang Kang asked in confusion.

Feng Zhong pursed his lips, first looked at the left and right and no one eavesdropped, and then said dejectedly: "Just just now, my fellow villager and I went to the county. The county asked us to count the list of soldiers who went to serve the fourth round of garrison immediately, so that they could gather on the fifth day of the July 19th to go to the northern border to serve the garrison. I have to go. So brother, I can't attend your wedding."

"Recruiting the fourth round of garrison soldiers?" Xiang Kang was shocked and asked, "Well, my brothers, aren't there anyone else to go?"

"There are at least four or five people to go." Feng Zhong's expression was extremely frustrated and said, "Around half of the people should go with your militia team and our blacksmith shop apprentices."

Xiang Kang was completely dumbfounded, Feng Zhongzeqiang smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you are a household registration and Youlu, and you belong to the fifth round of garrison soldiers. There is no need to go this time, and it will not affect your marriage."

"I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about my brothers." Xiang Kang said hurriedly: "With their temper, it's impossible for them to serve in the garrison willingly?"

"There is no choice, you have to go if you don't want to go." Feng Zhong replied with a sad face, and said again: "Also, brother, you have to keep this matter confidential for me first. If it is spread, it will definitely be like last time. Many people will run away early, and the countryside will have no choice."

Xiang Kang, who was waiting for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to raise the anti-bank, was in a state of confusion. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother, why don't we find a place to drink and discuss carefully what to plan for this matter."

"Okay, but you have to find a place where there are no outsiders, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone overheards us." Feng Zhong replied.

"Then let's go to Chen's place to buy some wine and come to my place to drink. There are no outsiders there." Xiang Kang suggested. Feng Zhong, who was extremely upset, nodded and agreed. Feng Zhong first went back to the pavilion house to return the horse, and then went to the wine shop of Shilingting Pavilion with Xiang Kang to buy two jars of wine and some vegetables, and then went to Xiang Kang's dilapidated courtyard to drink and discuss.

While drinking, Xiang Kang asked if there was any way to let his brothers and militia escape the conscript. However, Feng Zhong shook his head and said, "There is no way. The law of our Qin Dynasty is too strict. No one except the elderly, children and disabled people will want to escape corvee and garrison. Whoever dares to shelter will be exiled."

"But when all the people were summoned to serve, what should I do if the crops in the fields are? Who will fight the iron tools? Who will fight the bandits all over the mountain?" Xiang Kang asked angrily: "The autumn harvest will be soon. I heard that there were bandits gathering again on the other side of Maling Mountain to cause trouble. They summoned militia and farmer to serve in the frontier. Who will collect food? Who will suppress the bandits?"

"We have a good emperor." Feng Zhong sighed and answered the question, drank another bowl of suffocating wine, and then said, "Do you know? I heard that some time ago, our emperor killed more than a dozen of his brothers in Xianyang and broke his ten sisters in the bustling market. He was so vicious to his brothers and sisters, let alone to us Guizhou people?"

"No wonder Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were forced to rebel, no wonder Chen Sheng and Wu Guang turned against each other, and the whole world followed suit." Xiang Kang finally understood why so many people rebelled in the chaotic period of the late Qin Dynasty. After drinking a bowl of wine like Feng Zhong, Xiang Kang simply told the truth to Feng Zhong and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't help you, but that's what kind of temper I have, you know. If you recruit them to serve the garrison, they are afraid they will run away, and I can't stop me."

Feng Zhong did not answer, and drank two bowls of stuffy wine, then said with a depressed expression: "If you escape, just run away. Anyway, there must be more than a few people who escape. There are no worries about debts, and if there are too many lice, I can't take care of that much. This matter is mainly due to the mission of the village man. I just want me to imprison people to the border, and someone else can escape on the road."

"What if someone ran away on the road?" Xiang Kang asked.

"Then I have to serve in the military service on their behalf." Feng Zhong's voice was choked and he said while drinking, "Unless he could catch them, or my relatives could help me catch them, I would have to serve in the military service on their behalf and be beaten. I know why Wu Youzi went to Yanmen and never came back? In fact, he was convicted and detained in Yanmen because he was convicted of two military servicemen when he was escorting people to Yanmen to serve in the military service.

"I mean, if someone runs away on the road and you can't catch it again, what are you going to do?" Xiang Kang continued to ask.

Feng Zhong obviously could not answer Xiang Kang's question. After drinking two bowls of wine, he said hoarsely: "I'll accept my fate. Who told me to be unlucky? I'm going to be such a tyrant? Do you want me to take people to Maling Mountain like Liu Ji in Pei County to be a robber?"

Before he finished speaking, tears had already flowed out of Feng Zhong's eyes and slowly fell into the wine bowl. After drinking another bowl of wine, Feng Zhong, who had always had a low alcohol tolerance, simply cried and said from the bottom of his heart: "I really don't want to go! The fourth round of recruitment was all my fellow villagers, and some of them were relatives. I can't bear to tie them up with ropes! If someone ran away among them, I have to suffer for them! I don't want to be together, but I can't come back for a few years. My children are still young. What should I do if I leave?"

While crying, Feng Zhong couldn't help but get drunk. He simply grabbed Xiang Kang's sleeve and begged: "Brother, you have many ideas. Can you think of any way to help me escape this time? My children are your nephews and nieces. You can't let them be alone and no one takes care of you! If I die on the frontier, what will they do?"

Knowing that Feng Zhong was talking drunk, Xiang Kang ignored him, but just drank a slutty wine while thinking, and said in his heart: "What should I do? Although my brothers can run away, what should I do with my militia? They ran away or went to the frontier, what else can I rebel? Alas, if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang can rebel quickly, then I can rebel with them and legitimately help the brothers and militia escape this garrison. Damn Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, when will you rebel? Why can't I remember at all?"

When Xiang Kang was thinking quickly, Feng Zhong had already started to get drunk and cried while crying, saying, "...I really forced me to be impatient. I just learned from Liu Ji, let everyone go, take a few obedient people to Maling Mountain, and then take my wife and baby together. If the government arrests me, I will catch me. If I can't catch me, I will be a robber for the rest of my life! Even if I die, I will die with my wife and baby!"

"It would be great if you had that courage." Xiang Kang sneered, knowing that Feng Zhong was drunk and dared to say such things. When he woke up, he would not dare to really learn from Liu Laosan even if he had the courage to learn from Liu Laosan. However, after muttering, Xiang Kang suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and said, "This can be used. Even Feng Zhong, who has been forced to be a roaming, dare to say what he said to learn from Liu Laosan, not to mention those militias who are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes? If they are forced to be anxious, how can they bite people without the rabbit's in a hurry?!"

Thinking of this, and after careful consideration, Xiang Kang suddenly became angry from his heart, and he became brave. He first filled himself with a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it all, and then threw the wine bowl to the ground, blurted out, "Why wait for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? They are not in a hurry, I'm anxious! I'll be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first!"

It was also a coincidence that just when Xiang Kang had made up his mind, Xiang Ta suddenly knocked on the door outside the yard and shouted to Xiang Kang to go to his second uncle's house for dinner. Xiang Kang was not polite, so he pushed Feng Zhong, who had already fallen asleep in a drunken state, and opened the yard gate and said to Xiang Ta: "Don't worry, Xiang Ta, go and call your uncle Ji, something big happened."

"Uncle Ji, what big thing happened?" Xiang Ta asked in confusion.

"The tyrannical court is going to recruit the fourth round of garrison soldiers." Xiang Kang said word by word: "About half of our Xiang family's children have to go to the border to serve in the garrison. Let's talk about what to do!"
