The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Wooden Ox and Frozen Horse
Before the curfew, there were still vendors on the street, and Li Siping walked freely in the county town.

It was suddenly warm but still cold, and there was a skinny old man huddled in the corner. He was looking at bundles of firewood in front of him. He was selling firewood for a long time, but no one paid attention to him.

Li Siping told his followers, "Buy that bundle of firewood."

The entourage was no longer surprised, so he agreed, and with the old man's gratitude, he came over carrying firewood.

"Sir, you are kind and have saved many people along the way."

Li Siping was noncommittal. What kind of rescue was he doing? It was just a drop in the bucket.In the court, officials formed cliques, and the princes fought among themselves. They actually had to rely on a child's imagination to provide relief.

It was getting darker.

The next day, a group of them arrived at Zhutian Village. The entrance to the village was desolate and desolate, with not a single common person in sight.

The guards were on heightened alert, fearing something would go wrong.

"Sir, something is wrong with this village."

Li Siping also increased his vigilance.

But as they walked further in, there were still sparse crops in the fields, and it didn't look like they were uninhabited.

After a while, I saw an old man coming from a distance, holding a child in his hand.The grandfather and grandson didn't know what they were talking about, and they both had smiles on their faces.

Li Siping opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "Old man, where are the people in this village?"

He was ready to make the old man cry sadly. Unexpectedly, the old man's face was full of smiles. "The adults in this village have gone to work, and the children have gone to school. I got up late in the morning, so I can walk faster." , my little grandson will be late."

Li Siping didn't know where the adults went to work, but all the children went to school. He was still very surprised that every household in this inconspicuous little village could afford to support scholars.

"It's not easy to provide for students, and it must be very hard for the elderly."

When the old man saw that the noble man took the initiative to talk to him, he was no longer in a hurry. "Qiu Yun has set up a school, so there is no need to be bound."

"You don't have to hand it over?" Li Siping said in surprise: "That's really a great kindness."

The old man nodded, "Qiuyun is the lucky star of our village."

It's a pity that Li Siping still has to go to deliver the order, otherwise he would have to see what kind of person Zheng Qiuyun is. "Old man, do you know where Zheng Wenping lives?"

"Wen Ping, of course I know that this school is run by his sister."

Li Siping asked in confusion, "You mean, Zheng Wenping's sister has set up a school and all the children in the village can go to school?"

The old man didn't know why this noble man looked like this, but he still said proudly: "Yes, most of the people in our village also work in Qiuyun's workshop."

Li Siping asked again: "Can her workshop feed a whole village of people?"

"It's true that we can have enough food and clothing, but don't we have to save money to pay taxes? I don't know how much this year's capitation tax will be."

Li Siping saw the expression of his entourage out of the corner of his eye and was simply stunned.He calmed down a little and said calmly: "Excuse me, old man, please take me to Zheng Wenping."

The old man was sitting in the car guiding the way. Before they entered the workshop, they heard the sound of reading loudly.Li Siping got off the carriage, and the guards quickly lined up on both sides. The people in the workshop hurriedly looked for Zheng Qiuyun.

In this gap, Li Siping turned his head and could see the appearance of the students in the window.

They shook their heads and practiced calligraphy with their husband. There was only one half-year-old boy who looked down at his book and paid no attention to what his teacher said.

As he turned the page, Li Siping recognized it as "Three Kingdoms".

The boy was reading and writing notes next to it.Li Siping couldn't help knocking on the door and asking Zheng Wenping for his notes.

Zheng Wenping was stunned and guessed that this was the messenger delivering the order. He showed him his notes without hesitation.

"In the ninth year of Jianxing's reign, Liang returned to Qishan and used wooden oxen to transport the troops. When the food was exhausted, he withdrew; in the spring of the twelfth year, Liang learned that the masses came out of the sloping valley and used drifting horses to transport the troops."
