Chapter 51 New News
In the afternoon, Guo Zi was sent away first, and the other owners of the manor began to call on their patrons to leave. These people saw another agricultural business model in Xuping Village, which was more or less touched.
Xu Ping approached a strong man who was mixed in the crowd and reached out to his shoulder: "Chief, why don't you say hello when you come?"
Li Wei turned around impatiently and looked at Xu Ping forcibly squeezed out a smile: "The little owner of the house has been busy these days, why can I disturb me?"
Xu Ping said: "Now that everyone has been sent away, and it's just free. Chief of the elders come over to talk to each other?"
Li Wei said: "There is nothing important, so there is no need. The owner of the little manor has a rest."
Xu Ping pressed Li Wei's hand on his shoulder and tried hard, and said, "I haven't seen you these days, but I miss you a little. Let's go back to the village to talk!"
Li Wei looked at the crowd around him and wanted to ask for help from Xu Ping. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Could it be that Xu Ping forced himself to talk? He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have joined in the fun.
The two hundred acres of land planted by Li Wei are closest to Xuping's farm, only more than five miles away, which can be said to be close to him. He watched Xuping's farm flourish rapidly in the past six months, and was envious. If he hadn't offended Xu Ping last time and was severely cured, he would have come to ask for advice. This time Guo Zi brought someone to visit Xuping's village, so he sneaked in and wanted to learn some methods. He was still discovered by Xu Ping.
But he didn't know that Xu Ping had discovered Li Wei long ago, and he only came to find him when everyone was gone. Li Wei is a local local snake and has the most informative news. How could Xu Ping let him go when he came to the door?
After thinking about it, Li Wei followed Xu Ping back to the courtyard. The two families were close to each other, and Xu Ping could not hide even if he wanted to trouble him. Besides, he did not offend this enemy this time.
When they arrived in the courtyard, they found two people to sit under a big tree. Xu Ping ordered someone to call Sang Yi.
In the past few days, Sang Yi has listened to the explanation and watched the demonstration. He has deepened his understanding of the farm tools invented by Xu Ping and learned a lot.
When Li Wei saw Sang Yi, he was a little relieved. He was a Jinshi in the village and knew books and rituals. He was not a lawless person like Xu Ping and could do anything.
After getting tea, Xu Ping asked Li Wei: "Chief, what news is there recently?"
Li Weimei smiled and said, "You are polite to the little manor! We are neighbors, just call me Jianming directly. I wonder what the little manor is asking about?"
Xu Ping smiled: "You are a senior and are in charge of maintaining local public security. What news can I ask you? If you ask about major issues in the court, you won't come to you specifically."
"That's that, that's it. I have a small and low identity, so how could I know those? If I were to say that the local area has been quiet recently, no cases have happened."
Li Wei said, while looking at Xu Ping gingerly, afraid that something would be said wrong.
Xu Ping's face darkened: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me! I'll come to you, so of course I'm asking the group of warlocks who burned silver and Ke Wuro's thieves! What's going on with them recently?"
Li Wei said: "A few days ago, Grandmaster Li from the Group of the Peasants Department came down and there was a lot of noise. All the people were hiding. I had no news about them."
Xu Ping glared: "You are a local snake, and a mouse on the local area can't hide your eyes! You dare to get sloppy with me. Is it itchy?"
Li Wei was frightened and trembled: "I really don't know! This group of people are elusive and no one can see their traces. I am just a worker, how much energy do I have? Even the government can't do anything to them!"
Xu Ping ignored him and asked Sang Yi: "Scholar, if the magistrate recruits the elders and asks him to inquire about the thief, what constitution will he give him?"
Sang Yi and Xu Ping have been together for a long time. They know each other's character and know that they want to scare Li Wei. They said calmly: "Every time is one for three days, and every ten days is one for ten days. If there is no news, just be beaten with a big stick!"
Xu Ping patted Li Wei on the shoulder: "Look, what you do is this position. I don't believe you will be beaten honestly. People like you are used to being cheated, so why would you wait until the above questions before doing things? If you are so stupid, how many lives have been put under the stick after you have been doing it for the past few years. Tell me honestly, don't force me to let go of tricks. I'm tired of dealing with people, and you will feel uncomfortable if you are next to each other, right?"
Thinking of the last time he lost half his life, Li Wei didn't dare to swear, and said in a crying voice: "I just heard some rumors, but there was no evidence, just listen to the owner of the little manor."
Xu Ping sighed: "You are really itchy! I said last time that you have worn out your mouth and tired my ears. Is there anything you want to say to me!"
Li Wei hurriedly said, "I said, I said! Since the last time Li Taiwei came, he heard that several soldiers from the group of herds had killed the staff, and many people were injured by the military staff. The commander had also changed. No one in the wing army dared to participate in this matter. The two who burned silver had some conflict with Ke Wulang and separated from each other. Ke Wulang and his several people were hiding in the countryside of Zhongmu County recently, doing something stealing, but I had no exact news. The two warlocks heard that they had been hiding near Baisha Town, and they didn't know where they were hiding, but they just heard people say that they had seen it by chance."
Xu Ping and Sang Yi looked at each other and asked Li Wei: "What do those two people look like?"
Li Wei said: "I heard that they were two scholars. The Chinese Jinshi brought iron flutes every day and could play a few songs. No one could hear what it was. The other man was stronger and carried an iron sword with him. He was the one who knew magic. No one knew what his identity was."
After hearing this, Xu Ping thought to himself, why did he go in the direction of martial arts films? There are also rare Qimen weapons like Tie Dizi. Isn’t it said that martial arts is a fairy tale for adults, and they are all thought out? Moreover, the identity of a failed Jinshi is a bit legendary.
In fact, in this era, except for merchants and others, the most common people who travel around were the fallen scholars, which was one of their few privileges. The swords and sharp ones were rough people at first glance. Of course, scholars disdained to carry these, and most of them carried swords. But the swords looked good, and the combat power was anxious when they started to move, and they were not as brave as martial arts novels. Therefore, most scholars who traveled outside had other weapons, such as Sang Yi, who had iron maces. The iron flute could be styled and practical, which was not uncommon.
If you ask Li Wei again, you can't ask anything, and he only knows so much.
Xu Ping asked the shopkeeper to bring a jar of white wine to him, and said to him: "If you hear any news when you go back, whether you want to report to the official or not, please tell me to know. We are next to each other and help each other to be a good couple. As long as you are honest with me, I will also give you benefits. If—"
Looking at Li Wei, seeing his expression suddenly became nervous, he said, "If you have any bad thoughts on me, I don't want your life. I just want you to die!"
With the last sentence, Xu Ping was already stern.
Li Wei suffered a lot and stood up tremblingly: "I remember everything in my heart. Don't worry, the owner of the house. If there is any news, I will definitely inform you in time."
After sending Li Wei away, Xu Ping and Sang Yi discussed it for a while, but they had no idea. The key is that they could not get the exact information from each other and had nowhere to start.
Fortunately, the sweet sorghum has been harvested and the farm has become idle. Alfalfa is planted this year and can only be harvested once. It must be kept safely when the weather is getting colder to keep the roots in winter.
