After reprimanding Zhang Bingsheng, Rong Zhi didn't let him follow him anymore, and Li Shengxi casually found a reason to separate from Rong Zhi.

She went to Xu Xingniang's house, but in Anxia, where is the house destroyed? It's just some relief tents.

Father Xu saw Xu San leading Xu Xingniang back, and the whole person was taken aback at first, and then scolded both of them.

Then Xu San quarreled with Xu's father and Xu's mother, "Do you think Xingniang was taken away as a bad thing? What about being a slave or a servant, and what about being a small person? You can always have something to eat, can you live? What are you going to do with her now? Eat with one more mouth, and now there is still food to eat, and after a while, what should I do?"

Xu San argued with a red face, but in the face of ironclad facts, any of his arguments seemed incomparably pale.

He brought Xu Xingniang back, what use is it except to increase the burden on the family? If it was in the peaceful and prosperous years, he might be able to bite the bullet and say, I can support my sister, but in the current troubled times, he even has a problem to live on his own, so what can he do to support others?

Xu Xingniang didn't dare to speak, she shrank out, crying silently, suddenly looked up, and saw Li Shengxing, she had a little impression of Li Shengxing, hurriedly wiped a handful of tears, and whispered, "Gui...... Noble ......"

Her voice was very small, and Father Xu and Xu San, who were arguing, didn't pay attention.

Li Shengsheng squatted in front of Xu Xingniang and asked in a low voice, "Are you the youngest in the family?"

Xu Xingniang nodded, the person in front of her was not something she could afford to offend, and she was also the brother who was rescued by the person in front of her just now, she still had a good impression of the person in front of her.

"Your brother's name is Xu San, besides him, do you have a brother?" Li Shengxian asked again.

Xu Xingniang nodded, "Yes, there are also the eldest brother and the second brother."

"What about them?"

"Dead, all dead...... On the night of the big flood, the eldest brother and A-Niang died......" Inexplicably mentioned the sad matter, Xu Xingniang's voice was a little stagnant, she glanced at Li Shengxian timidly, and tears couldn't help but burst out, "Second brother...... The second brother died while repairing the embankment......

Li Shengxian lowered his eyes, and suddenly remembered what Zhang Bingsheng said, Xu San often made trouble when he was repairing the river embankment.

"What's the matter with your brother making trouble when he's building the embankment?"

"No...... No, ......" seemed to think of something that she didn't want to recall, Xu Xingniang's voice suddenly rose, and she was even a little delirious, "Brother is fine, brother didn't make trouble......

"What do you do?" Xu San ran out, glanced at his panicked sister distressedly, he looked at Li Shengxing again, his eyes were full of vigilance, even if he noticed that Li Shengsheng was the person who saved him at that time, his vigilance did not subside.

Li Shengxun looked at Xu San's appearance of being a soldier, she was not angry, on the contrary, she was just helpless.

"Nobleman, this kid is not sensible, he collided with the nobleman, don't be angry." Father Xu seemed to be afraid that Li Shengxing would be angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and glared at his child again.

Xu San didn't care about offending people at all, and took Xu Xingniang back to the house.

Father Xu was anxious and angry, and just as he was about to stop him, he was stopped by Li Sheng, "Let him go, I'm not angry."

Father Xu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and looked at Li Shengzheng with some flattery: "There are a lot of nobles, so it's good not to care. Wait a minute, the villain will definitely deal with this stinky boy."

Li Shengxian shook his head, instead of asking Xu Xingniang, who is now like a frightened bird, it is better to ask Xu's father, "I heard that this kid often makes trouble when he repairs the river embankment?"

Father Xu's face changed slightly, and his sunken eyes that had been weathered for a long time were filled with indescribable grief because of Li Sheng's words, and he barely managed to keep his expression calm to the end, and said flatteringly and bitterly: "This kid has been like this since he was a child, he doesn't understand anything at all, and he offends people twice in three days, but fortunately he didn't collide with the nobles this time."

"Did you also participate in the construction of the embankment?" Li Shengxian lowered his eyes, and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic, as if he was just casually chatting.

Father Xu nodded, "Where can I eat the food of the imperial court for nothing? If you need help, of course, you have to go."

"I heard that Zhang Xianling borrowed a lot of people from other counties, so the embankment should be reinforced, right?" Li Shengxian asked again.

Father Xu first frowned, momentarily dazed, and then squeezed out a smile, "Yes...... The embankment is fine...... The nobleman will know when he goes to see it."

Li Shengxian smiled, she took some food to Xu's father casually, and did not give silver money, in a place like Anxia, food is always better than silver money.

She went to Rongzhi and explained the matter to Rongzhi.

Rongji was amazed at her acuity.

"The words of that prefectural order are half-true, and you can't believe them all." Li Shengsheng said in a deep voice, really, it is estimated that it is the construction of the embankment, because this kind of thing can be seen at a glance, and there is no need for Zhang Bingsheng to tell this lie.

As for the fake, it is estimated that it is in the aspect of borrowing people, when she mentioned the matter of borrowing people, Xu's father was at a loss for a moment, whether to borrow or not to borrow people, there is no need for the county order to say it to the people, but if it is borrowed from many people, it is impossible for the people not to be aware of it.

Then there are only two scenarios. Either there are very few people who borrow from Zhang Bingsheng, or there are no borrowers at all.

Rong Zhi nodded, his face was not very good-looking, pointed to the two booklets on the table, and whispered, "Eighty percent is a trick, do you want to see it?"

Li Shengxi flipped through the booklet casually, looked at the household registration list, didn't know what he thought, and his brows became more and more tight.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think?"

"I can't say it, but I always feel wrong, do you think so?" Rongji shook his head.

"Father Xu's side can't ask anything. This booklet is a trick to see the riverbank tomorrow, and nine times out of ten, others want you to see it. It's all a trick." Li Shengxi didn't say anything more about household registration.

Xu's father is old and numb, but he has experienced the world, sleek and flattering, even if there is really a ghost in the matter of repairing the river embankment, he will never say anything. Rong Zhi is indeed above Zhang Bingsheng, but Zhang Bingsheng is the county commander.

The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake, and he won't want to cause such trouble.

"Father Xu can't ask anything, but some people may be able to ask something." Rongzhi has a deep meaning.

Li Shengxing understood what Rong Zhi meant and nodded.

Father Xu doesn't want to cause such trouble, but some people are best at causing trouble.
