"you do not say!"
Li Xiongzhi said angrily: "As for the eldest son of Lao Jiangtou's family next door, his family's fields are next to yours. I found that you were not here these days and wanted to sneak in some. I saw him and I scolded him on the spot. A bloody mess."
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, yes. Xiaozhi, I saw you right, you are a brother."
The so-called poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.
In fact, farmers are not as simple and simple as everyone imagines. Instead, they like to live in isolation.
There are often intrigues in the village.
Just for a piece of land or a little water source, two families can get red-faced and fight, with a hoe even daring to put a hoe in the head.
If these trivial matters are not handled by the government, they must first be mediated by the squire.
At this time, whoever has more men and bigger fists is the boss.
Li Xiao has only one male in his family, and his parents are in poor health.
The family is honest and small.
When I traveled back in time, almost all of my family's farmland was occupied, leaving only three acres of land.
After his parents died, more people in the village became interested in Li Xiao's three-acre farmland.
But Li Xiao is a time traveler after all, not a vegetarian.
After using some tricks to win over a group of people and suppress a group of people, they were able to secure these three acres of land.
This idle Li Xiongzhi was the one who was won over by Li Xiao.
Brother Xiao has been going up and brother Xiao has been going down.
This Li Xiongzhi is honest, he can be considered an honest Bajiao.
To be honest, he was a little restless. He was idle all day and didn't care about farming, but he couldn't find any other profitable business.
Li Xiao came back this time just to recruit him to help manage Yanshan's affairs.
No ability is required, just loyalty to him.
At this time, Li Xiongzhi rubbed his hands, carefully found a stool to sit on, looked up at Li Xiao, and said: "Brother Xiao, what's going on with you these days... That horse at the door. ..”
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "The horse at the door belongs to Prince Yan's Mansion."
hiss...
Li Xiongzhi took a breath of cold air.
The horse of Prince Yan’s Mansion! !
What is the status of Prince Yan's Mansion?
For an ordinary person, it’s like God!
An out-and-out farmer may have seen the biggest official in his life, that is, the county magistrate.
Many people have never even met a county magistrate in this life, and at most they have met a subordinate tax collector.
What level is King Yan?
The feudal lord, take charge!
I'm afraid that the county magistrate is just a fly in their eyes.
"I heard that someone came to the village to investigate you some time ago. It seems to be true. Brother Xiao really climbed into Prince Yan's Mansion..."
Li Xiongzhi said enviously.
"Someone investigated me some time ago?" Li Xiao asked curiously.
"Isn't that right? The county government official came to our village in person to entertain the high-ranking officials from above. He was very respectful. He must be someone from Prince Yan's palace."
Li Xiongzhi said truthfully.
Li Xiao nodded.
It is estimated that Zhu Gaoxu started investigating when he first came into contact with him.
But it doesn't matter, my life experience is clean, I am a farmer.
Li Xiongzhi said: "Then...Brother Xiao is now..."
Li Xiao did not deny it and said: "Yes, after a while I will be Junma, the son-in-law of King Zhu Di of Yan."
Li Xiongzhi was stunned.
The whole person was in shock.
Li Xiao's status is really beyond his reach now.
In the blink of an eye, he became a relative of the emperor!
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Xiao Zhi, I'm not here during this period, and someone wants to take advantage of my land, but you helped me, and you did a good job."
"Just one word from Brother Xiao."
"I, Li Xiongzhi, can go up the mountain of knives and descend into the sea of fire, but that's not the case..."
Li Xiongzhi immediately began to express his loyalty, but Li Xiao was too lazy to listen and waved his hand to interrupt.
"Okay, okay, I, Li Xiao, can tell if you are showing loyalty or not."
The conversation changed: "In addition to paying homage to my parents when I come back this time, I also want to start a business and want to find a helpful helper..."
"me."
Li Xiongzhi stood up suddenly, patted his chest and said:
"Brother Xiao, for such a good job, I must take care of my brothers. Although I, Li Xiongzhi, don't have much ability, with one word from brother Xiao, I can come and go without even frowning."
Li Xiao thought about it briefly: "You...is that okay?"
Li Xiongzhi said: "Brother Xiao, try me, I can do it!"
Only this Xiaozhi is more reliable... Li Xiao laughed: "Okay, then it's up to you. I admire your confidence."
Li Xiao had already chosen the candidate.
Although I have good relations with several people in the village.
But the key point is that Xiaozhi is short-sighted and clever, and... he knows a few characters, but he doesn't know even a single big character.
"Thank you Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I will definitely do a good job."
Li Xiongzhi cherishes this hard-won opportunity.
"Well, help feed my horse early tomorrow morning. You can go back first. I want to rest."
Li Xiao waved his hand.
"Yes, Brother Xiao, I will make sure your horse is well fed."
Li Xiongzhi cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll go back first and won't disturb Brother Xiao."
"etc."
Li Xiao waved his hand: "You will do something for me tomorrow, and spread the news in the village. If anyone dares to take advantage of my field... Even if I divide the field, I, Li Xiao, will make him unable to eat and walk around." .”
Although Li Xiao doesn't like these fields now.
But after all, it was left behind by my parents, so nothing should be left behind.
"Brother Xiao, I'll take care of this. If anyone wants to take advantage of your land, they should step over my body, Li Xiongzhi, first."
Li Xiongzhi said confidently.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Okay brother."
....
....
The next day.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
The spring sunshine shines brightly, the yellow ling bird sings on the branches, and the trembling branches shake the dewdrops from last night from the leaves.
Crystal clear, like crystal.
Early in the morning, Princess Yongan Zhu Ningyun got up and looked from the window.
"I wonder...whether Li Xiao's martial arts will improve again today..."
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Li Xiao was not seen. Instead, he saw his younger brother Zhu Gaoxu exercising in the martial arts field as usual.
"Why isn't he here today?"
Zhu Ningyun waited for a long time, and did not see Li Xiao until Zhu Gaoxu left.
"Princess, my servant just went to the warehouse to get some ingredients. I heard that Young Master Li Xiao left the mansion yesterday and did not return all night."
Zhang Cuicui brought breakfast and said so.
Now Li Xiao is a famous person in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Every move he made made the servants gossip.
"he's gone?"
Zhu Ningyun's heart trembled, and she was very worried. Could it be that she wouldn't come back?
She now wants to see Li Xiao every day, even if she just takes a look from a distance, she is very happy.
When Li Xiao suddenly disappeared, Zhu Ningyun felt empty.
"Maybe, you went back to your hometown?"
Zhang Cuicui said hurriedly: "Princess, please don't think nonsense. I think Li Xiao likes the princess very much. How could it be possible..."
"Well... Cuicui, let's show off the sachet today."
"okay!"
