In the afternoon, Guo Shi was sent away first, and the other owners began to greet their customers to leave. These people saw another agricultural business model in Xu Pingzhuang, and they were more or less touched.

Xu Ping approached a strong man in the crowd and stretched out his hand to put his hand on his shoulder: "Elder, why didn't you say hello when you came?" ”

Li Wei turned around impatiently and looked at Xu Ping and barely squeezed out a smile: "The little owner has been busy these days, how can I bother?" ”

Xu Ping said: "Now that everyone has been sent away, it is just empty, and the elder has come over to talk?" ”

Li Wei said: "There is nothing important, there is no need, the little owner has a rest." ”

Xu Ping pressed the hand on Li Wei's shoulder with force, and said, "I haven't seen you these days, but I miss you a little." Let's go back to the village and talk! ”

Li Wei looked at the crowd around him, and had the intention to ask for help to get rid of Xu Ping, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say, could it be that Xu Ping forced himself to talk? I secretly regretted in my heart that I shouldn't have come to join in the fun.

The 200 acres of land planted by Li Wei are the closest to Xu Ping's Zhuangzi, only more than five miles away, which can be said to be next to each other. He watched Xu Ping's grange prosper rapidly in the past six months, and he was envious in his heart. If he hadn't offended Xu Ping last time and was beaten up, he would have come to ask for advice. This time, Guo Shi brought someone to visit Xu Pingzhuang, and he secretly mixed in, wanting to learn some methods. was careful and careful, but was discovered by Xu Ping.

didn't know that Xu Ping had already discovered Li Wei, and only came to him when everyone was gone. Li Wei is the local head snake, the most well-informed, how can Xu Ping let it go when he sends it to the door.

After thinking about it, Li Wei still followed Xu Ping back to the village. The two families are next to each other, Xu Ping wants to trouble him, but he can't hide, and this time he didn't offend this wrongdoer.

When they arrived in the courtyard, they found two people to sit down under a big tree, and Xu Ping ordered someone to call Sang Yi.

In the past few days, Sang Yi has listened to explanations and watched demonstrations, and has deepened his understanding of these farm tools invented by Xu Ping and learned a lot of things.

Seeing Sang Yi, Li Wei was also a little relieved. This is a township tribute jinshi, who knows books and etiquette, unlike people like Xu Ping, who are lawless and can do anything.

After serving tea, Xu Ping asked Li Wei: "Elder, what's the news lately?" ”

Li Weimei smiled: "The little owner is also polite!" Our two families are next to each other, just call me by my cheap name. I don't know what news the owner of the small farm is asking? ”

Xu Ping smiled: "You are an elder, in charge of maintaining local security, what news can I ask you?" If you ask about the important affairs of the court, they will not look for you specifically. ”

"That's that, the little identity is low, how can you know that. Locally, it has been quiet lately, and there have been no cases. ”

Li Wei said as he looked at Xu Ping with small wings, for fear that he would say something wrong.

Xu Ping's face sank: "Don't play stupid with me!" When I came to you, I naturally asked about the group of warlocks who smelted silver and the gang of thieves who were Kegoro! What's going on with them lately? ”

Li Wei said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Li of the Pastoral Division came down, and there was a lot of movement, and this group of people was hiding, and I didn't have any news about them. ”

Xu Ping's eyes widened: "You are the head snake of the ground, and a mouse on the place can't hide a pair of eyes from you!" Dare to play sloppy with me, isn't it itchy! ”

Li Wei was so frightened that he shuddered: "I really don't know!" This group of people is so elusive that no one can touch them. I'm just an errand boy, how much energy do I have? Even the government can't do anything about them! ”

Xu Ping ignored him and asked Sang Yi: "Xiucai, if the county magistrate recruits the elder and asks him to inquire about the news of the thieves, what kind of charter will he give him?" ”

Sang Yi and Xu Ping have been together for a long time, they both know each other's personalities, and they know that they want to scare Li Wei, so they said with a calm face: "Three days and one comparison, ten days and one limit, if there is no news, just beat with a big stick!" ”

Xu Ping patted Li Wei on the shoulder: "Look, this is what you do, I don't believe that you will be honestly beaten with a stick." People like you are used to being treacherous, how can you wait until the above asks you to do something? If you are stupid like this, you have been doing it for a few years, and how many lives have ended in the stick. Tell me honestly, don't force me to release the means, I'm tired of cleaning up, and you're uncomfortable, aren't you? ”

Thinking of the experience of losing half of his life last time, Li Wei didn't dare to push it anymore, and said with a crying voice: "The little one just heard some rumors, and there is no trace of evidence, just listen to the little owner." ”

Xu Ping sighed: "You really have itchy skin!" As I said last time, it wears out your mouth, and it doesn't tire my ears, so what makes me happy to say! ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "I said, I said!" Since the last time Captain Li came, I heard that the staff had killed several soldiers of the Pastoral Division, and the staff had injured many people, and the commander had also changed, and no one in the Xiang army dared to participate in this matter. The two men who were smelting the silver somehow clashed with Kegoro, and the two sides separated. Ke Wulang and a few people have been hiding in the countryside of Zhongmu County recently, doing some things like stealing chickens and dogs, but I don't have any exact information. The two warlocks heard about the vicinity of White Sands, but they didn't know where they were hiding, but they only happened to hear someone say they had seen it. ”

Xu Ping and Sang Yi glanced at each other and asked Li Wei, "What are those two like?" ”

Li Wei said: "I heard that it is two scholars, and that Huazhou Jinshi carries an iron flute every day, and he can play a few tunes, and no one can hear what it is." The other man was bigger, and he carried an iron sword with him, and he was the one who knew how to spell, and no one knew what his identity was. ”

Xu Ping listened, and said in his heart, how did this go in the direction of martial arts films, and there are rare Qimen weapons like iron flutes, doesn't it mean that martial arts are fairy tales for adults, and they are all imagined blindly? And the identity of the first jinshi, this is a bit legendary.

In fact, in this era, in addition to merchants and the like, the most people who can travel everywhere are the Luodi scholars, which is one of their few privileges. The knives are rough at first glance, and the scholars certainly don't bother to carry these, most of them carry swords. But the sword looks good, and the combat effectiveness of the hand makes people anxious, and it is not as brave as in martial arts novels. Therefore, most of the scholars who traveled abroad had other weapons, such as Sang Yi, who carried an iron shovel. It is not uncommon for an iron flute to be stylish and practical.

If you ask Li Wei again, you can't ask anything, he only knows so much.

Xu Ping asked Zhuang Ke to bring him a jar of liquor, and said to him: "If you go back and hear any news again, whether you want to report it to the official or not, let me know." Our two families are next to each other, helping each other to be good neighbors. As long as you are honest with me, I will also benefit you. If—"

looked at Li Wei, and saw that his expression became nervous, and then said: "If you have any bad intentions for me, I don't want your life, I just want you to live rather than die!" ”

When the last sentence came out, Xu Ping was already full of emotion.

Li Wei had suffered hardships, and stood up tremblingly: "The little ones are all in mind, don't worry, if there is any more news, I will definitely inform you in time." ”

Sending Li Wei away, Xu Ping and Sang Yi discussed for a while, but they didn't have a clue. The point is that they don't get the exact news of each other and have nowhere to start.

Fortunately, after the sweet sorghum was harvested, the village was also idle. Alfalfa is planted for the first time this year, and it can only be harvested once, and it must be harvested when the weather is getting cold, so that the root stubble can survive the winter.

Xu Ping divided the work with Sang Yi, Sang Yi was still around to find out the news, he was a township tribute jinshi, and he only talked about playing wherever he went, and others couldn't say anything. Xu Ping is in the village, and he has to move out the knives and guns that were put into the warehouse a few days ago, and still train the villagers, so that the villagers have the ability to protect themselves.
