"Why are you looking for me?" Qiao Xuan strode out of the yard.

The man holding the stone in his hand turned to look at Qiao Xuan. This man was the Li Erniu mentioned by Li Yue, the pig butcher in the village.

"Qiao Xuan, you asked that woman Li Yue to rob my house?" He asked with a straight face, throwing the stone in his hand casually into the corner.

"You burned someone else's haystack?" Qiao Xuan asked rhetorically without answering, her tone full of disapproval. She stood a few steps away from Li Erniu with her hands on her hips.

"I don't have a fever!" Li Erniu jumped as angry as if someone had stepped on a sore spot, his eyes bulging.

"You're on fire! You still want to deny it, bah! A grown man is so shameless. He dares to do something he dares not to take it seriously." Li Yue suddenly jumped out of nowhere, spittle flew, and Xiongjiujiu shouted in high spirits.

Qiao Xuan calmly retreated to a safe zone.

"Li Yue, you must provide evidence when you speak, otherwise it will be slander."

Li Erniu, who is tall and strong and has a fierce appearance, can actually intimidate people, but he was at a disadvantage when he met Li Yue.

"Someone met you and not long after you passed by my house, the haystack of my house started to burn. Who else could it be if it weren't you?

I know it’s because my chicken ran into your house last month and pooped that you have a grudge against our family!”

Li Yue pointed her finger at Li Erniu and shouted with great momentum, "You are so small-minded and vicious. No wonder you haven't even gotten a wife for most of your life! You deserve it."

Qiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh, and he made a fist to cover his lips.

This Li Yue's speech really hit the nail on the head, stabbing Li Erniu's heart quickly and accurately.

"Li Yue, do you believe that I gave you two fists? I'll swell your mouth." Li Erniu's stomach bulged with anger, and he waved his fists and shouted a vicious warning.

"You--" Li Yue's eyes widened, and she was about to open her mouth to reply but was interrupted by a familiar voice. The person who came running in a gust of wind was Zhao Tian who lived at the entrance of the village.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming! The village chief of Qingfeng Village is here."

The originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

The villagers standing watching the excitement stretched their necks to look behind Zhao Tian. Although Li Yue and Li Erniu were blushing and thick-necked, they temporarily suppressed the anger in their hearts.

Qingfeng Village is next door to Taoyuan Village, and neither village looks down on the other, so they cannot let the people in Qingfeng Village see the jokes in their village.

"Where is the village chief? Where is our village chief?" Qiao Xuan stood behind the crowd. Zhao Tian did not see her presence at the first time, so he asked breathlessly.

"Put it here." Someone pushed Qiao Xuan to the front.

"Zhao Tian, ​​what is the purpose of the village chief of Qingfeng Village coming to our place?"

"Yes! Is there something wrong?"

"Let me make it clear first! Although I crossed the border and went into the woods over Qingfeng Village while hunting yesterday, I was not discovered by them."

Everyone was discussing in a hurry. Qiao Xuan rubbed his ears and felt that it was very noisy.

"Qiao Xuan, let me tell you, when you meet the head of Qingfeng Village later, if you dare to disgrace our Taoyuan Village, don't blame us for not being able to tolerate you." A slightly older old woman came out with a stern voice.

Said to Qiao Xuan.

"Grandma He is right!"

"Yes! If you lose our people, be careful and we will kill you."

Everyone agreed, looking at Qiao Xuan with an unkind look on his face and threats in his eyes.

The smile on Qiao Xuan's face faded, and a pair of black eyes coldly swept over the people present, "If you don't trust me, go and do it yourself!"

"Everyone knows how to be shameless, so why do they never do anything shameful? How strange!"

After saying that, she turned around and entered the courtyard without waiting for anyone else to react. After a few quick words with Xi Yan, she came out and strode towards the entrance of the village under the dissatisfied eyes of everyone.

"You damn girl, do you want to rebel? Follow her!"

Grandma He who spoke earlier was the oldest in the village and the one who spoke with the most weight. She stared at Qiao Xuan with a pair of sinister little eyes and said in a sinister tone.

As a result, a group of people followed Qiao Xuan dozens of steps away, and a faint cloud of dust rolled up wherever they passed.

Qiao Xuan's ears twitched slightly, he sneered and quickened his pace.

The village chief of Qingfeng Village is a middle-aged man with a round face. He wears coarse cloth clothes with patches on his cuffs. His face is sallow and his hair is gray. From the looks of it, he lives a very poor life.

He saw Qiao Xuan walking towards him and waved, "Village Chief Qiao, get in the car quickly! We'll talk on the way."

There was a bullock cart parked at the entrance of the village, and Qiao Xuan got on it calmly.

By the time the villagers from Taoyuan Village chased them out, the two village chiefs had already driven away in an oxcart.

"Village Chief Xu, we are—"

Qiao Xuan learned from the memory of the original owner that the village chief of Qingfeng Village was named Xu Gui, who had helped the original owner before. This man was simple and kind-hearted, and he was considered a good and conscientious village chief of Qingfeng Village.

Xu Gui looked around and saw that there was no one else except himself, Qiao Xuan and his son who was driving the car. Then he lowered his voice and said, "The superiors have asked us to go there."

Qiao Xuan: "..."

Above? Who is it?

The country she was reborn in was called Nanguo, but it was a country that did not exist in history, so she didn't know who Xu Gui was referring to, and the original owner was well protected by her father, so many things were unclear.

Seeing Qiao Xuan's confused look, Xu Gui stroked his beard and said mysteriously: "I will only tell you this, you are not allowed to tell anyone else!"

Qiao Xuan nodded with a sincere expression, "Don't worry, I'm determined not to tell anyone else."

Xu Gui's voice was softer this time, "I heard that a noble man has come to the capital."

Qiao Xuan was even more puzzled. There were so many great rivers and mountains in the motherland, but this noble man was really down-to-earth even if he didn't go to this remote mountainous area.

"What does that have to do with us?"

Xu Gui patted his thigh and snorted coldly, "Of course it does matter. A few years ago, the imperial court allocated money to build roads in the villages under Gupo County. However, several years later, the roads and small roads here are still the same.

Like this, what does this mean?”

Qiao Xuan suddenly realized, "It means that the local officials took the money and did nothing. Now that people are coming from the capital, they are anxious."

"That's right!"

There was a bit of resentment in Xu Gui's expression, "So the reason we are called now is most likely related to road construction."

Qiao Xuan frowned. If the villagers were asked to build roads, the people in Taoyuan Village would probably not work obediently.

"The people who suffer at any time are the powerless people. The people at the top don't care about everyone's life and death." Xu Gui sighed and looked at Qiao Xuan.

"The villagers in your village are difficult to manage, aren't they? I'm sorry for you, little girl."
