After Chen Xu and his group walked away, several soldiers came quickly with a carriage, creaking and stopped at the door of the foot house. An official wearing a sixth-rank official uniform couldn't wait to jump out of the car and rushed into the foot house. He grabbed him and was about to leave the foot house and asked anxiously: "Where is the Marquis of Qinghe?"

"Mr. County Magistrate!" Mo Kai quickly bowed and said with confusion, "Marty Qinghe has never been here. I have only visited Lord Dianniu and a young man in Qinghe Town. I have never seen Marty Qinghe!"

"You are blind, that young man is the Marquis of Qinghe!" The county magistrate jumped up anxiously and shouted.

"Ah?" Mo Kai said in a daze, "It turns out that young man is Qinghe Hou, no wonder he is so generous..."

"What? Could it be that you even took his money?"

"Hehe, the Marquis of Qinghe rewarded his subordinates with two taels of gold!"

"Damn it!" the county magistrate angrily and asked, "What's wrong with the family who originally lived here?"

"Sir, the family of four was taken away by the Marquis of Qinghe, but... I just heard the Marquis of Qinghe call the man as his father..."

"What?" The county magistrate grabbed Mo Kai's clothes and widened his eyes, "Did you hear it wrong?"

"No, absolutely not?" Mo Kai quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"How could this be so? I have already heard that the father of Qinghe Hou died in the Qin-Chu battle seven years ago. How could a father suddenly appear out of thin air? Isn't he dead?"

Mo Kai finally came to his senses at this time. After thinking for a moment, he said with a pale face: "County Master, if the father of Qinghe Hou has not died, he must have issued a death notice before. You must go back and check the records from seven years ago. You should quickly confirm the title of him. Otherwise, when Qinghe Hou was exposed to the emperor, we and those who had done the same job before would be punished..."

"It's not bad, I have to go back and check it out quickly!" The county magistrate also shivered slightly and turned around and walked out. After a few steps, he turned back and told him viciously: "This matter is rotten in his belly. Don't make it public. Once someone rumored that Qinghe Hou's father was a deserter on the battlefield, he would be angry that someone would be in danger of extermination. So if you get the money, you have to spend your life!"

"Yes, don't worry, the county magistrate, my subordinates will never dare to reveal a word!" Mo Kai felt a cold sweat coming out in an instant, and his whole body felt as if he was immersed in ice water.

There are only three endings of being a soldier, one is death, one is living, and the other is missing.

Those who die will naturally report statistics from military officials who follow the army, and issue an obituary notice to their families after the war is over.

As long as the living person does not die, he will return to the military camp to wait for unified dispatch. He is indeed seriously injured and unable to continue to participate in the war, so the civilians will be sent home. As long as they can still pick up swords, they must go to the battlefield to fight. In a even-match war, they will consume the spirit of both sides. If one side cannot hold on first, they will collapse.

It is hard to say that the missing person is either captured or deserter.

Since Chen Hu had been notified before, it was to admit that he had died on the battlefield and died in battle. But now Chen Hu actually appeared alive again, which means that the previous death notice was sent incorrectly. Chen Hu either became a deserter or became a prisoner before he survived.

But the Qin State had wiped out the Chu State in that battle seven years ago, and the Qin army captured by the Chu army must have been released and returned home, so there is no such thing as captives. Therefore, it is speculated that Chen Hu must have escaped the battlefield and became a deserter in the war.

If the incident of Qinghehou’s father being a deserter spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now the county magistrate of Chi County is Liu Tong, the former county magistrate, who also knows the relationship between Jiang Beiting and Chen Xu. He is very clear about the series of events that happened in Jiang Beiting later. The Jiang family was able to not only not weaken their power in the involvement of Zhao Gao's crime of rebellion, but instead became bigger and bigger. The main messenger behind all this was Chen Xu.

The identity of the disciple of the Chen Xu Xian Family has been in full swing in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Lord of the Shuang Marquis has never been seen for ever. He is now married to the daughter of the fifth princess and the Shangqing Meng Yi. With the support of these two, Chen Xu's status can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, no flaws are allowed on Chen Xu, so Chen Hu's identity must not be a deserter.

Liu Tong returned to the county government office and immediately ordered the county magistrate Fang Kuan and the officials who managed the household registration to find out all the information about Chen Hu seven years ago.

Fortunately, the household registration system of Daqin is very complete, and the various records on recruiting civilians and soldiers are also quite detailed. After nearly an hour, all the information about Chen Hu's death was found.

"Mr. Liu, who is this Chen Hu? I have been dead for seven years, why do I have to make a big fuss to search for his information?" County Magistrate Fang Kuan looked at the bamboo and wooden bamboo slips piled up with confusion in confusion.

"You all go out!" Liu Tong looked at the rolls of bamboo and wooden slips that were open on the desk, frowned and drove away the group of civil servants, leaving only Fang Kuan.

"Fang County Wei, the Marquis of Qinghe has been to the county town today. He has just left and picked up someone. This person is Chen Hu!" Liu Tong said with a serious expression.

"So what...ah, is the Chen Hu picked up by Qinghe the one Chen Hu on the record? What is their relationship?"

Fang Kuan felt his mouth dry and his tongue was pounding. He had a very bad guess. Both of them were surnamed Chen and their relationship must be very close. And both of them knew that Qinghehou had only one mother in the family, and his father died in the Qin and Chu battle, and there were no relatives of his father at home. Therefore, there was no need to speculate carefully about this relationship. In particular, the record shows that Chen Hu was from Xiaohe Village, Qinghe Town. He had a wife, Jiang, and had a son and a daughter...

"Do I still need to tell you about the relationship? This Chen Hu must be the father of Qinghehou!" Liu Tong said with a few twitches.

"Then...what should I do?" Fang Kuan said in vain.

"What else can I do? Hurry up and find someone who has nothing to do to modify this record, re-create a file, and change Chen Hu into the missing person!"

"Okay, I'll go find someone now!" Fang Kuan nodded.

"Also, I'll record Chen Hu a few military achievements, not too low or too high. These records are outdated, so what needs to be done looks older. By the way, I also need to go to the county town and county magistrate's office to check if there is any record of Chen Hu's death in the volume seven years ago. If so, they must also be properly modified together!"

"The sooner this matter should be done, the better. There are too many business travelers in Qinghe Town. Chen Hu's return home will inevitably be spread soon. Maybe the emperor will arrange officials to investigate the matter. If there is a slight inappropriateness, it may cause us trouble. Seven years ago, you and I have worked in the county government office, and you and I are all involved in this matter..."

"Don't worry, county magistrate, I will go to the county magistrate's mansion in person!" Fang Kuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and then hurriedly left.

Fang Kuan and Chen Xu met very early. They got involved in the matter of Zhao Zhe and were frightened for a long time. However, Jiangbeiting, a big man from Xianyang, was threaded a needle and threaded it. In addition, a group of officials in Wancheng joined forces to suppress Zhao Zhe's robbery of summer grain. Later, almost all of them were implicated, whether it was Jiangbeiting or the officials involved in the Zhao Zhe incident. However, Chen Xu joined forces with Shangqing Meng Yi in Xianyang to completely crush Zhao Gao to death. This matter was finally settled. Fang Kuan, as an almost negligible little person involved, did not receive revenge from Zhao Gao.

But that kind of life that was worried all day long still scared Fang Kuan. It was not until he heard that Zhao Gao was arrested and imprisoned by the emperor and wanted to split the three tribes of the Yi that Fang Kuan's heart completely fell.

It can be said that Fang Kuan watched Chen Xu step by step from a mountain boy like a rocket to his current powerful position.

At the beginning, he saw Chen Xu being able to give orders that were domineering, but now he can only look up at Chen Xu's existence like the sky.

Chen Xu naturally didn't know what Liu Tong and Fang Kuan were about.

Chen Xu did not take his father as a deserter too much. Anyone who actually went to the battlefield knew that there were not too many deserters. Tens of thousands of escaped after a defeat, and then they either became refugees, or went to another country to continue their lives in anonymous name, or even ran home secretly and used money to bribe the town officials. However, Chen Xu's identity was too special, so Chen Hu's identity became sensitive.

On the way home, not only Chen Hu and Han Tian were nervous, but even Chen Xu felt a little worried. He didn't know what kind of reaction his mother would react suddenly to bring his father home.

"Yu~~" A group of people crossed Qinghe Town in the wind and snow, and returned to two or three miles away from Xiaohe Village. Chen Xu suddenly grabbed the reins.

"Brother Xu, why did you stop suddenly?" Niu Dashi also stopped and looked at Chen Xu and asked in confusion.

At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The cold wind in the sky whistled and the snowflakes were rolling, and the ground had begun to fall white. The sky and the earth were covered with snowflakes.

"I'll go home first, you guys will take a step back. I'll tell you in advance!" After Chen Xu said that, he spurted the horse and galloped away with three guards.

"Huzi, you are also confused. You have been hiding outside quietly for so many years. Xiaoxu has now become a marquis. Our Xiaohe Village and the entire Qinghe Town have followed him to please him. You don't pay grain or pay taxes. You can also work in the workshops in the town. The annual income is more than ten years. Every household has endless surplus food and clothes to wear. You have seen it just now. Qinghe Town is more lively than Zhixian County. You will enjoy your happiness when you come home. Also, don't be stubborn after you go home. Everything is followed by Xu'er's arrangements..."

A group of people continued to walk slowly towards Xiaohe Village, and Uncle Ma nagged and taught Chen Hu a lesson.

Chen Hu looked nervous and excited, and hugged Han Tianshi and Xiaomi tightly and didn't know what to say.

"Quickly, the marquis is back home!"

Listening to the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside, Chen Xu had just arrived at the door, and Chen Jiang, led Ying Shiman and Meng Wan and a group of maids and servants to welcome the door.

"Xu'er, why are you back alone? With such heavy snow, where is your fur coat? Where is Uncle Ma and Dashi?" After a group of people welcomed Chen Xu, who was covered in snow and snow, Chen Jiang asked while helping him slap the snowflakes on his body.

"Mom, wait a minute, I have something to say to you!" Chen Xu said, holding Chen Jiang's sleeve.

Looking at Chen Xu's solemn and serious look, Chen Jiang stopped.
