Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were obviously not interested in investigating the case, mainly because they felt it was too difficult to find it. When they came over, they lost interest when they could not talk from Shen Hao. After chatting for a few words, they left the camp of the Heiqi Camp. Then they asked someone to send two guides from the garrison.

Both guides were locals nearby. After introducing them, they learned that one of them was a peddler who traveled from village to village and traveled around the village all day long. The other was the head of the village next door, and his wife was from Caiyuanzhuang, so he walked very hard with Caiyuanzhuang and knew all the big and small things in the village.

These two people had been asked by the garrison once before, but now they saw the black robe and became nervous again. They had also heard of Xuan Qingwei, which was much scarier than the garrison.

The garrison and the yamen will at least tell you the truth, but Xuan Qingwei is said to be unreasonable.

"Don't be afraid, you can say whatever you ask, do you understand?"

"Look, understand!"

The two nodded like pounding garlic, shrank their shoulders and stood in the corner of the tent with timidity and dared not raise them.

"How many people are there in Caiyuanzhuang? What are the main business?" Shen Hao held the tea and asked about the basics first.

"Sir, there are about 100 households in Caiyuanzhuang, about 400 people, right? I don't count them."

"Most of them are farming, and there are several hunters, blacksmiths and stonemasons. By the way, in the past two years, the government has advocated building fish ponds, saying that it makes money faster than farming. Several households are brave enough to flood their own fields and build fish ponds."

Shen Hao asked again: "Has there been anything different in Caiyuanzhuang in the past six months from before? No matter what, as long as you can think of it, you can say it."

"..." The two of them shook their heads with a frown. It should be that they had been asked this question by people who were also in garrison before.

Seeing this, Shen Hao shook his head. The two of them were obviously absent-minded, which could easily miss a lot of details. After thinking about it, he waved his hand to take out a handful of scattered silver from the storage bag, almost seven or eight taels.

"In this way, the silver here is the reward I gave, but if you want to exchange it for something strange in the vegetable garden, you say, I think it's appropriate, so give it a piece. If you think of it, just say it directly, and repeat it doesn't count."

The 7 or 8 taels of silver were not too much, but it was not too much. The two of them didn't expect that there would be any benefits to make it. They immediately became excited and thought desperately, scratching their heads.

"Sir, I...I thought of one!"

"explain."

"There are more daughters in Caiyuanzhuang than sons. It seems that there is a saying that wherever they conceive women, no matter who they are, 70% of girls and 30% of boys."

This...is a strange thing!

Shen Hao picked up a piece of broken silver and threw it over. The other party caught his eyes and shone, but he didn't expect that this lord would really give it to him!

Looking at the remaining silver on the table, the two of them were so jealous. After all, if you even keep the gossip about giving birth to a boy or a girl, there would be too much to say.

"Sir! I remembered it too! The fields in Caiyuanzhuang are always 20 to 30% worse than those in other farms. They are obviously the same soil and the same seeds, but they are worse than in other places. It is said that the earth is not good."

......

The two of them scrambled to tell them all. If the money on the table had not been gone in the end, the two of them would have been able to say until dark. This person divided three or four taels of silver and was still full of desire.

"Also, sir, I remembered another one!" The money was gone, but the two of them had already regarded the generous Lord Xuan Qingwei in front of them as a good person, and continued to say something: "At the beginning of the moon, someone said that there had been earth-moving in Caiyuanzhuang, and the old houses in the village had cracked their mouths. But there was no earth-moving elsewhere in the village."

Earth movement? Another name for earthquakes. However, such things will generally be reported by local government offices, and they will also be mentioned in official newspapers. However, Shen Hao did not let go of every issue of the official newspaper, but did not find any information about Earth movement in Tukui City.

And how big is a farmer? When the earth moves, it will not only shake you, but also a farmer. How could it be that there is no feeling elsewhere?

Or is it the people from Caiyuanzhuang lie? But what about the motive? There is still a house that has cracked and the evidence is put on, so you won’t be lying nonsense.

Or is the person in front of you lie? It’s not right. Such a thing cannot be kept popular. If you find someone to verify it, you can confirm whether Caiyuanzhuang has had “earth movement” gossip.

Or is that...really?

Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Shen Hao waved his hand and turned them away.

"Let me find people to go to the surrounding villages and ask more people, whether there was really a ground movement in Caiyuanzhuang at the beginning of the month, whether there was a crack in the house. It is best to see the people with your own eyes or hear the people in Caiyuanzhuang say it."

Yangming nodded and then went down to do it. He was familiar with the local snake here, and there were still a few people in his hand that could be used, so Shen Hao did not need to make any other arrangements.

After thinking about it, Shen Hao asked Wang Yiming to come to see if there was really something wrong with the ground phenomenon in the Heiqi Camp.

In other people's opinion, Shen Hao's question and answer with the two guides just now was a slut, and most of them were meaningless. Is it necessary to investigate similar rural gossip? Even Wang Yiming, who has always been awe of Shen Hao, once again felt that his Shangfeng seemed to be doing something wrong again.

But who dares to give Shen Hao an opinion in person? Lord Shen has been raising his head by investigating cases and cutting people's heads all the way. Who in Jingxi is better than him in his reputation for investigating cases? Only when he is crazy will he want to teach Lord Shen to do things. Just say a few words in his mind, but he still has to do what he should do.

Soon, the two people who were best at geophysical arts in the Heiqian Banner of Qianhusou were called by Wang Yiming, and then they first looked at the military-level topographic map around Caiyuanzhuang.

"Sir, just looking at the picture, Caiyuanzhuang is surrounded by hills on three sides and facing south, and the ground is yin. There are also small rivers and streams around the left and right to bring wealth to the public, which is auspicious. In addition, there are two mountain ranges with wings to the north, which are neither high nor low. It just stuck Caiyuanzhuang in the middle, which is a very good auspicious wing.

The appearance here is very good!”

After one person finished speaking, the other nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was the first time he had seen such a superior appearance.

The earth's appearance is very good? Shen Hao was very surprised.

"This place is a good place, will there be more men and girls or fewer grain production or reduced grain production?" Shen Hao still asked the doubts in his heart.

"No. Sir, such a superior earthly appearance is rare. Living here will definitely bring you many children and blessings, and all things are full of vitality. If what you said is true, it will definitely not be caused by the influence of the earthly appearance."
