As the crowd gradually increased, Zhong Ming's face finally showed a solemn expression.

The number of people who came to ask for explanations was increasing, and a steady stream of people were coming.

On the other hand, on his side, there are less than 100 well-trained family members, and the remaining 300 or so people are all tenants in the village.

"Release! ......I don't know who led the shouting first, and then more and more people began to shout loudly.

The sound was a little messy, but the atmosphere created by nearly a thousand people still made Zhong Ming and Zhang Dachang faintly afraid.

"Hold the people, don't leave, don't blame this son for not being emotional!" Rao was frightened and a little frightened, Zhong Ming still took a step forward and shouted loudly to the crowd opposite.

However, there were too many people and too loud, and the shouts of the bells were soon drowned out in the huge waves.

"Discharge ......"

From beginning to end, the people only shouted the word "release water", and their faces were full of dissatisfaction, and they hated to set foot on Lihe Village.

"Zhang Caiwang, you have the ability to take people to the upper reaches of Lihe Village to dig another river out, forcibly order Bashui to be diverted, cut off the water in Lihe Village, and gather here with a group of people, do you know what kind of crime this is?" Seeing that the momentum was getting louder and louder, Zhang Dachang also felt that it was time for him to stand up, straightened up, and shouted directly at the leader Zhang Caiwang.

Seeing someone talking, the people gradually quieted down, no longer shouting together to release water, but the scene was still a little messy.

"Come here, let's have a good talk!" Zhong Ming smiled slightly, pointed at Zhang Caiwang and said.

Zhang Caiwang was stunned, but finally stepped forward alone and walked to the side to negotiate with them.

The purpose of this visit is also to negotiate, after all, no one wants to do anything, and it is naturally best to negotiate, but it can't......

Then continue to exert pressure, fighting is only the last resort, the most helpless way.

But if there is another choice, no one will choose the stupid trick of fighting.

"Today, the old man came here for only one purpose, you can just release water in Lihe Village, this water is not your Lihe Village's family, if there is no water in our Zhangqiao Village, we Zhangqiao Village will admit it by ourselves, but in this situation, you can't stop the water." Occupying the reason, as soon as Zhang Caiwang approached, he directly said his bottom line.

"You want water, huh?" The corners of Zhong Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing an evil smile, waved his hand, and said, "Escort him to the edge of the canal and give him enough drink!" ”

"You...... What are you doing? Zhang Caiwang didn't expect the other party to be so unreasonable, and said that he would talk about it, but when he came, the other party didn't talk about it, but wanted to threaten himself.

"Don't you want water? Ben Gongzi gives you water, drink as much as you want, and don't stop you from taking as many Ben Gongzi as you like. Zhong Ming continued to smile.

A few henchmen on the left and right immediately took two steps forward, where is Zhang Caiwang, who is over five fathoms, the opponent of a guy in his twenties? almost didn't resist much, and Zhang Caiwang was controlled to death by the three Zhong family members.

Straight to the canal not far away, there is not much water in it, only as deep as a hand, but compared to the villages downstream, it is extravagant enough to irrigate......

Without waiting for Zhang Caiwang to think more, the two family members reversed their hands behind their backs, and kicked their calves violently with both feet, and Zhang Caiwang fell to the ground in pain.

Another person came up, pressed Zhang Caiwang's head directly, and plunged into the canal, and his whole face was deeply buried in the soil under the canal.

Caught off guard, Zhang Caiwang was choked and coughed constantly.

"Gathering a crowd without permission is tantamount to rebellion, understand?" Zhong Ming explained the law complacently, "Do you dare to make conditions with my son?" Don't pee and look at yourself? ”

"Childe, get out of ......," one of the housekeepers roared with a fused face.

Zhong Ming, who was only showing off his pretending to be X, didn't notice that when they controlled Zhang Caiwang and escorted him to the canal to lynch him, the people who were waiting for the result not far away couldn't sit still.

Let's talk about it, you guys are bullying people like this?

No one dared to come forward, but Zhang Caiwang's son couldn't help it, he couldn't watch his father being bullied like this, so he immediately yelled, picked up the hoe in his hand and rushed to the opposite side.

With the first, the second one naturally came, and the people behind saw that everyone was on it, either voluntarily or not.

Everyone rushed up, even if they went up and pretended, if they didn't go up at this time, they would be regarded as soft eggs, and they wouldn't be able to raise their heads in the village in the future.

……

'Smack......'

Li Yuanji, who was worried about what to do with this year's drought, slammed his hand on the table, making a deafening sound.

The desk is very strong, and Rao is Li Yuanji, who has a lot of strength, and he couldn't smash it with one palm.

"Fighting? Why didn't the government intervene in advance of such a big movement? If I'm not mistaken, the two villages are at least five miles apart, right? Li Yuanji asked Li Daozong with an angry face.

A few days ago, after Duan Lun was sent to Luozhou, the position of governor of Lingzhou was handed over to Li Jing, and Li Daozong of the clan was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou.

And the predecessor of Yongzhou Assassin Shi is now in a prison cell.

Li Yuanji didn't expect that Gao Shilian would be so tough, and after he led the army north, Li Shimin actually rehabilitated him.

The eldest grandson Wuji was secretly arranged by his side, while Gao Shilian was reinstated as a swaggering official and continued to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou.

In the past, I always wanted to kill Gao Shilian, but there was no suitable opportunity, but now the opportunity has come, and I have transferred a trusted sect back, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, such a serious problem would appear.

It may not be fair to be angry with Li Daozong, because as of today, he has taken over the position of Yongzhou Assassin for less than half a month, and he is not familiar with many aspects, and even the officials below are only on the roster.

The news is that the Zhong family, a large landlord in Lihe Village, has blocked the water for irrigation, resulting in hundreds of villages downstream having no water available, and the fertile land has shown signs of drought and death. Zhang Caiwang was leading people to ask for an explanation in Zhangqiao Village, but more and more people joined on the way, and when they arrived in Lihe Village, there were thousands of people, and more people were coming in the future. As for how the two sides fought, it is not clear for the time being. Li Daozong secretly poured bitter water in his heart, but there was no way.

Now the drought is the same everywhere, they are still close to Bashui and Weishui, although it is still very dry, but it will not be a grain without harvest, and other places will be even worse.

However, the fighting caused by the landlord blocking water for irrigation below has not happened once or twice in history.

In the past, the government was only responsible for mediation, and the two sides negotiated a satisfactory result.

"How many people died?" Li Yuanji asked with a pale face.

The fight does not cause such a big sensation, the sensation is because there are dead people.

In this era of population, unnatural deaths are definitely black history for officials everywhere, and will even affect their future prospects.

And such a big thing, they can't hide it if they want to, so they can only report it to the county, the county is reporting to the Yongzhou Mansion, Li Daozong, who has just taken office, naturally knows the seriousness of this matter, so he immediately went to Taipingfang to find Li Yuanji, who was watching the sketch, and reported the matter.

"At present, there are eleven reports, and the specific number still needs to be verified!" Li Daozong said cautiously, it is a trivial matter to kill eleven people in a battle, but eleven people died in a weapon fight, which is not much smaller than the sky falling.

"Your Majesty, I seem to have some impressions of this Zhong family in Lihe Village, if I remember correctly......" Luo Chen, who had been following him, recalled with all his might, and said with eight points of certainty.

"Say!"

"No! When I was wandering a few days ago, I met a son named Zhong Ming of the Zhong family, who was not positive, but he was ruthless, and he was quite vicious, he once pushed the girl into the river, and then rescued her, and then ...... "Luo Chen didn't dare to continue, and the result was unknown without thinking."

Seeing that Li Yuanji and the others looked at him a little strangely, Luo Chen, who was frightened, hurriedly explained: "Wasn't it wandering at that time, there was no place to live, so I could only find a grass by the water to live first, I just saw this scene, but the little one didn't dare to speak out at that time, otherwise it is estimated that the small one would have become a floating corpse in the river." ”

"Check!" Li Yuanji commanded outside the door, and there seemed to be eyes outside the door, and he answered directly, and then there was the sound of people walking.

"As for the old ......" Speaking of this, Li Yuanji was a little hesitant.

The elderly refer to the elderly who are over sixty or seventy years old, and at this age, they are eligible to be nominated and selected to serve as the governor of each township.

The Tang law stipulates that 100 households are the li, 5 li is the township, four families are neighbors, and the four neighbors are the guarantees.

This is a grassroots government agency in the Tang Dynasty, but considering that most of the elders are elderly, the actual role is to undertake the coordination work between the li, and the real responsibility is the lizheng and the counties above.

"Let him go home and take care of his old age!" Dismissal, this is the lightest result.

The old man is equipped with miscellaneous servants, and he can't walk by himself, and there are miscellaneous servants who can be called, but for such a big matter, so far away, he didn't send the miscellaneous servants to report the news in advance, and there must be direct responsibility.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle!" There was no problem with the way Li Yuanji dealt with it, but he chose the lightest and most inconsequential side, but the real core was not mentioned, Li Daozong couldn't help but remind.

Perhaps it is the lack of intuitive understanding of the grassroots, so Li Yuanji will not know the relationship network, Li Daozong continued to remind: "The landlord has the relationship network of the landlord, and the people have the relationship network of the people......
