Chapter 168 Treasure??



Mr. Li was overjoyed. "Thanks to you, I woke up, drank some water, and fell asleep again. The doctor said that if I don't have a fever tonight, I'll be fine in the future."

He bowed deeply, saying, "On behalf of the three regions, I thank you for saving my life, young lady."

Xiao Zhixing helped him up, saying, "Uncle Li, there's no need for this. I only value talent. Li Sandi has helped countless people, and he shouldn't have ended up like this."

The two sat down, and Xiao Zhixing brought up the grass that he had asked Juan'er to cut earlier, saying, "I have a great use for that stuff, and I hope Uncle Li can take care of it."

She was implying something, saying, "Who knows, the future of your Li Family Village might lie in that thing."

[Yellow comment: It's been found out; that's Polygonum hydropiper, the mother of yeast, the best material for making yeast.]

[Yellow comment: No one has recorded who discovered this herb, but it did gradually become popular starting from the Northern Continent.]

[Yellow bullet comment: From this point on, Dasheng's liquor entered an era of high strength and diverse varieties, and Beizhou became a land of a hundred liquors.]

[Red comment: We won't discover this thing for another two hundred years.]

[Green comment: Oh, I remember that wine used to be made by boiling oil, it was very mild.]

At this moment, Xiao Zhixing was thinking about whether or not to bring the "one village, one product" model over.

That's a long and massive undertaking that requires a multifaceted foundation to complete.

Only when transportation, commerce, talent, education, and governance are all sufficiently developed can each village truly achieve its own path to prosperity.

The vast countryside offers immense opportunities and opportunities, yet it has also been a neglected and overlooked area in governance throughout history.

And they are the most populous layer.

She dared not and could not make any big moves, such as overthrowing a class, defeating certain strata, and liberating everyone; in ancient feudal society, that was utter nonsense.

If productivity doesn't keep up, but ideas are too advanced, that's suicidal.

However, it is still possible to provide them with some benefits from the bottom up in a subtle and gradual way.

She glanced at Grandpa Li, whose eyes were filled with expectation after hearing her words, and made her decision.

Let's start with Lijia Village.

Experiment slowly, explore gradually, don't be radical, but don't stop.

Reforms and changes are possible along the way; we should always give it a try.

At this moment, Bai Mei returned with the news: "Master, Xiao Xing and Master Jia are very close. I went to check the body of the young master of the Jia family. He was hanged after he died. As for the young lady of the Jia family, her lover is someone else, who is one of Xiao Xing's illegitimate sons."

Xiao Zhixing did not avoid Grandpa Li.

Upon hearing this, he angrily cursed, "Outrageous! Outrageous! This is a frame-up!"

The method wasn't sophisticated, but it was enough to deal with Li Sandi, who had no connections.

Hearing the commotion, San Di Niang, who was dining next door, rushed over and knelt down with a thud. "Honorable sir, this old woman only begs you to take me to the Beiyuan County Government. This old woman wants to go to the prefect's office to seek justice for my son!"

Xiao Zhixing asked Bai Mei to help her up, saying, "Now that I've come across this, I won't ignore it."

“I believe that Li Sandi would rather clear his name himself.”

Xiao Xing is also ruthless; he frames someone investigating a wrongful conviction, attacks him at his most triumphant moment, and destroys his spirit.

It's such a blatant frame-up. Li Sandi knew he was being framed, and he could find evidence.

But he was weak, and the other party wanted to use their power to oppress him, to decide his life or death, to make him feel frustrated and depressed, and to make him angry to death.

No wonder Li San was so depressed.

She added, "Most importantly, why would Xiao Xing frame Li Sandi?"

He did his job as county magistrate well, helping Xiao Xing with many cases, and there was no conflict of interest between the two.

Why did he suddenly decide to target Li Sandi?

Grandpa Li wasn't stupid. "You mean, where did the three places offend the county magistrate?"

Xiao Zhixing had a certain guess, but he could only confirm it after Li Sandi woke up.

The information Yin Yi sent showed that Xiao Xing was evil and wicked.

On the surface, he was a low-key and normal county magistrate who did not exploit the people or bully others, and his rule was peaceful and tranquil.

The backyard house, however, was built in a magnificent and opulent style, and the family had dozens of concubines.

Upon further investigation, Yin Yi discovered that Heiwu County was actually the hometown of most of the bandits in Beizhou.

In other words, the bandit leaders scattered in various places all came from Heiwu County.

With the addition of the gray-clad man discovered by Bai Feng, Xiao Zhixing roughly understood this person's methods.

Li Sandi woke up in the evening.

Old Man Li couldn't help but go in and ask him, "Have you offended the county magistrate?"

Li Sandi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry about it. It's come to this, I don't want to say anything more."

In his current state, speaking out would only implicate everyone.

What worries him even more is that if he lives, Xiao Xing might come and kill him to silence him.

Grandpa Li sighed, and then told him about how Xiao Zhixing had saved him.

Just then, Xiao Zhixing was invited in by San Di Niang.

Li Sandi weakly looked up, and the next moment he was so frightened he almost jumped up, "Your...Your Highness?!"

Xiao Zhixing asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"

Li Sandi couldn't get up, so he could only awkwardly cup his hands and say, "This humble official has had the honor of seeing your portrait."

He didn't say where we met.

Xiao Zhixing suppressed his doubts and said, "Since you recognize me, are you still planning to keep this secret?"

Grandpa Li was stunned. After hurriedly bowing, he was at a loss for what to do.

Xiao Zhixing gestured to him that there was no need for such formalities.

"Since His Highness has come in person, this humble servant naturally dares not conceal anything any longer."

Grandpa Li hurriedly pulled San Di's mother outside; there were some things they couldn't hear, they were going to die.

"I have inadvertently discovered that people often come to see Xiao Xing. One of them is the bandit leader of Shannan County. I have also heard that people with northern barbarian accents come to see him."
