Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Xie Xian stayed in Xiaoquan Village like this. In the afternoon, Niu Er brought the results of the investigation, and it was proved that You Chun's inference was correct.

"Whenever there were refugees passing by, Wang Dan and his wife would go out to work as laborers. We don't know where they went, but soon after they came back, their quality of life improved significantly."

Niu Er had a half-smile on his face. "The Wang family has strange luck. People in the village say that as long as there is a disaster, the Wang family will have good luck. They also say that this is a fortune-making family!"

"The Wang family is rich. The fortune teller said so himself."

"This Wang family really took great pains to get the money safely, and the only one who lost money was the lady this time. She didn't get any advantage at all, hehe!"

Niu Er has been hanging around Xiaoquan Village these days. Since Xie Xian is here, their team of ten people naturally have to guard her by her side. This is to prevent the situation like last time where the queen of Qionglou Village fell into danger and they were unable to do anything about it.

"Have the night shifts been arranged?" Xie Xian asked. Now that she was here, she had to solve the problem once and for all.

The mountain path behind the private school is next to the foot of the mountain. It is covered with tall grass and dense forests, commonly known as the Green Tent. It is a dangerous place for people walking alone at night.

Although it was close to the village, there was no one on duty at the private school at night, so there was no hope of calling for help in case of trouble. It was indeed a good location to commit a crime.

During the day, Xie Xian saw the frightened girl. The result of her questioning was similar to that of Captain Zhao. She was unwilling to say anything, but when Xie Xian mentioned this, she looked ashamed and angry, which made Xie Xian have other guesses.

If the idler was a scoundrel, he would not just scare them. So Xie Xian asked Niu Er to arrest the hooligans from several nearby villages and interrogate them.

As expected, according to what several gangsters said, they were squatting on this road, and at most they could gain some benefits by calling names, but they dared not do anything real. If they were caught by the old headman, they would be forced to do hard labor for the victim's family, which would be enough to make them suffer.

"I heard from those young people that some people who were going up the mountain to collect herbs or working in the fields passed by later in the day. Although this road is not considered the main road in the village, some people still use it frequently."

Niu Er stroked his chin. He was also curious about what it was, but seeing that Xie Xian had already guessed, he asked, "Can we let the brothers squat inside the wall?"

"It's not a big deal. The road is right next to the wall. When you hear the noise, you can just turn over and go over." Xie Xian knew these people. They liked to go to the recruit camp to play obstacle races when they had nothing to do. In order to encourage their enthusiasm, Xie Xian paid out of her own pocket and set up various awards.

The earthen wall of this farmyard is four feet and five centimeters high, which is 1.5 meters in modern times. If you are a little taller, you can stand on tiptoe and see outside without any difficulty.

Niu Er nodded: "Okay, I'll let the brothers be more alert!"

Xie Xian thought that this arrangement alone was not enough. They entered the village without any cover, so anyone with ulterior motives would naturally discover them. However, in order to give people the opportunity to commit a crime, she had to lay out some shocking information.

The next day, the villagers of Xiaoquan Village heard that the village had invited a kitchen opera to perform for the whole afternoon. In this small village, there were very few entertainment activities during non-holiday seasons.

Two days ago, the heat of the Wang family bullying daughter-in-law incident had not yet subsided, but unexpectedly there was a Kitchen Opera performance. The cold weather could not dampen the villagers' enthusiasm for watching the opera.

So in the afternoon, all the idle people from the surrounding villages came. The stage for the stove opera was set up in the open space in front of the ancestral hall. The villagers brought melon seeds, snacks, and small stools, and some kind-hearted people lit a bonfire on both sides to keep warm.

Xie Xian wore a linen dress to cover her conspicuous red robe, so she did not stand out at all among the crowd.

Because there were people who were much more conspicuous than her, a group of young ladies from the girls' school, dressed in red and green, sitting together in a group, chattering non-stop.

Xie Xian looked carefully and had a deeper understanding of the admission standards for girls' schools. Those who were not good-looking had no chance at all.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the old chief squatting on a stone beside him, looking in the direction of the stage and sighing.

"What is Captain Liu thinking about?" Xie Xian sat down on the stone next to her.

The old headman glanced at Xie Xian, seemed shocked by her unladylike appearance, and then continued to sigh.

"There is no one left to teach in the private school in this village. Now the children have to walk a long way to go to school." The old man's hoarse voice sounded slowly.

"Aren't there girls' schools? It's all the same. If boys are not taught, girls will become successful." Xie Xian made an excuse.

"Mrs. Xian, did you really not see the problem with that girl's school?" The old village chief didn't believe that Xie Xian didn't see it.

"So what if they've seen it? It's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten!" Even if Xie Xian wanted to tell them, girls raised in this way would be arrogant and always yearn for life in the big city, which is out of touch with reality.

But what can I do? The current life of hunger and fullness is too tragic. Maybe I can be selected, and no matter what I do in the city, it will be better than now.

"But there are few girls in this village. Where will the boys find wives in the future?" The old chief's concerns are not unreasonable.

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places." Xie Xian smiled.

Fortunately, only a few girls can catch the attention of noble men every time. The others who are plain-looking or lack talents have to be eliminated and go home. But at least they have learned a lot of words and can get a higher dowry when they get married in the future.

Therefore, the existence of this distorted product, girls' education, is reasonable and logical.

Xie Xian already had some guesses about Boss Jia's high-end business.

But rather than persuading a beautiful and ambitious girl to marry a peasant who makes a living by digging for the land, she would never do such a thing.

This morning in the Que County government office, Xie Xian asked cryptically about Boss Jia's affairs. Xie Xiancheng smiled and pointed out: "Boss Jia's business has many nobles supporting him, and the villagers don't have many complaints."

So they had no right to interfere. Xie Xian understood that this kind of "beauty" business had been impossible to prevent since ancient times, and this matter involved many people, which was not something she, a new viscount, could get involved in, so she decisively lay down.

She sat on the bluestone with the old village chief and watched the kitchen opera end. The villagers took their stools and went home. Their faces were white from the cold, but they could not hide the satisfaction on their faces.

What is honey to others may be poison to you. Why force it?

The moon was at its zenith, and Xie Xian staggered to the path next to the private school. Tonight was a good opportunity.

As expected, the bird that sleeps late catches the worm. As Xie Xian just turned the corner, she heard a cry from the front.

Xie Xian quickened her pace and saw a girl hesitating in the distance, covering her eyes tightly with her hands. Not far ahead was a sloppy man with his robe open and his radish-like leg hair fluttering in the wind.

When she quickened her pace and was about to find out what was going on, she saw the man being kicked down by Niu Er who fell from the sky.

"Thief Sun!"

"I'm going to get a stye, eh~"

"Bah, you filthy bastard."

Xie Xian tilted her head to look over there, but Liu Yu stood in front of her and said respectfully, "My lady, please don't dirty my eyes!"
