In the main hall of the public house, in front of the crimson case, Zhao Junxi leaned over, and looked at Chong Yong with a very sharp look.

He wanted Chong Yong to see his face clearly even when he was lying down. Seeing his face clearly, the serious expression came to deter the chant at one time, so that he could not say a single lie.

Obviously, Zhao Junxi's deterrence is useful.

Chong Yong did not hide anything, and explained the cause of death of the former Xixia people in Dashun City clearly.

After saying that, Chong Yong closed his eyes. He was so tired. It's not easy to be held these days. From time to time, he was whipped by people sent by Yao Ji, and he couldn't even eat well. Coupled with Shen Yun's cleaning of the wound just now, his eyes were getting darker and darker at this moment.

Seeing that Chong Yong passed out, Zhao Junxi waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to carry him and Liu Fu to the house to rest. At this time, Zhao Junxi's eyes were once again fixed on Shen Yun.

At this time, the matter is already very clear, Shen Yun is arson, but there is no possibility of burning all the five thousand Xixia soldiers and horses to death.

After staring at Shen Yun for a long time, Zhao Junxi nodded: "The matter of Shen Zhixian is already very clear. This official's mission this time is also coming to an end. In the near future, a letter will be sent to Beijing to inform His Majesty of the results of this inspection. ”

When the army of Shaanxi Road came to Dashun City, the number of soldiers guarding it had reached tens of thousands. Now he was no longer afraid that Dashun City would be breached, so Zhao Junxi took Shen Yun and hurriedly returned to Anhua County.

A month has passed. Although Daesun Fortress was repeatedly invaded by the Tangut people, it eventually stood in the north of Gyeongju. Soon after Zhao Junxi went back, the Criminal Department also passed the request for the beheading of the three Kuang brothers.

Of course, Li Guifu regarded Shen Yun as a thorn stuck in his throat. However, he never found an opportunity to take revenge on Shen Yun. On the contrary, because Liu Fu recovered from his injury, he suddenly thought that Shaanxi Lu Shuaisi provided the strategy that Li Guifu had given to Li Xin, so that he was reprimanded by the imperial court to Baoding Army to sign the judgment.

This matter was also beyond Shen Yun's expectations.

On the same day, he sent someone to inquire about Li Xin, but he said that the strategy was lost in the village. Who knew that this guy was because he couldn't trust Shen Yun, and he wanted to find a chance to wash himself away. But he never expected that Li Guifu would pursue that strategy very closely.

A deal was made with Liu Fu, and Li Xin committed suicide in prison.

Shen Yun could only sigh, this was really self-inflicted, and he couldn't live.

But this matter, Shen Yun just thinks about it. What he cares about the most now is the green seedling loan money of the people of Anhua County in the first half of the year. Although the cabinet in Gyeongju has been opened in a few months, the previous debts still have to be settled. After all, the cabinet shop belongs to the imperial merchants, and the green seedling loan is purely operated by the government.

Just when Shen Yun and Hu Cao Cangcao were handling this matter together, a group of fast horses suddenly came from outside the county yamen, and when they arrived in front of the county yamen, the people hurriedly dismounted, and shouted urgently to the messenger on duty in front of the door: "Cao Xiu, the official of the walled town of Fucheng, has something important to tell Shen Zhi County, please pass it on quickly." ”

The authority of the town official is not small, not to mention that there is something important.

One of the officers brought Cao Xiu into the back office, poured tea for Cao Xiu to rest, and then ran to Hu Cao and hurriedly informed Shen Yun.

"Oh, Cao Xiu wants to see me?" Shen Yun was stunned for a moment.

Since he took office, he and Cao Xiu have only met three times. But now I suddenly told myself that there was something going on in the walled city. Shen Yun began to wonder what it was that caused Cao Xiu to be like this.

Hurriedly came to the main hall of the back ya, and Shen Yun saw Cao Xiuniu drinking tea in a cup. Seeing Shen Yun coming in, he hurriedly put down the cup in his hand, got up and bowed down and said, "Xiaguan Cao Xiu, please see the magistrate." ”

"That's it," Shen Yun waved his hand, motioned for Cao Xiu to get up, and then asked: "I heard the messenger say, you have something important to tell you, but what is the matter?" ”

At the mention of this, Cao Xiu's face suddenly became serious: "Back to the county's words." But it is the people in the walled city of our house who share a river water irrigation with the neighboring Tongyuan County of Huanzhou. After the autumn, the people were about to water, no, the two sides were unfair to fight for water, and the people of Maling Town, Tongyuan County, actually built a high embankment, completely blocking the flow of Maling water into the city wall. As a result, the two sides quarreled for several days. Today actually caused a fight. ”

Fighting is a very serious matter. Because once it appears, it means that people will definitely die.

Shen Yun had seen the grievances between Fuchengzhai and Maling Town from the county chronicles of Anhua County, but he was so busy during this time that he forgot about such a big thing.

However, what puzzled Shen Yun was that Cao Xiu had hundreds of soldiers under his command, and they were usually used to maintain law and order. If there was a fight, they should have the ability to stop it, but now he himself came to ask for help.

Looking at Cao Xiu, Shen Yun did not show a different look on his face, but asked extremely calmly: "Let me ask you, why didn't your soldiers stop the people in the walled city?" "If Cao Xiu doesn't take any measures, then he is derelict in his duties. There's nothing more to say, just send someone over to separate the two sides, and then the elders on both sides will discuss how to use the water. This is also the approach adopted by Anhua County in previous years.

Cao Xiu was startled when he saw Shen Yun like this.

Shen Yun's methods have become more and more divine in Anhua County over time. But in general, no one questioned Shen Yun's decision to kill.

Cao Xiu was afraid that he would also become the target of Shen Yun Liwei, so he hurriedly stood up and replied: "The lower officials also want to send troops to stop it." But this time, the officials of Maling Town also seemed to have discussed, and they also sent soldiers over to confront the soldiers of our walled city. The lower officials had no choice but to let them do so. It's just that the situation today is really uncontrollable, and the lower officials can only come to the county to deal with it. ”

After this answer, Cao Xiu remained motionless, hunched over, and kept looking at Shen Yun with his eyes.

Subconsciously knocked on the table, Shen Yun's brows tightened.

Fighting was originally a civil matter, but now that the government has also been involved, it seems that this Tongyuan County wants to make things bigger.

However, the deeper situation is not very clear at the moment, Shen Yun thought about it, and ordered the messenger beside him: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the mansion walled city." ”

Although Shen Yun didn't know what this matter was like, in the era of farming, if there was no river water to irrigate the fields, then the soil would be short of water, and good crops would definitely not be grown.

In a moment, the messenger prepared the carriage, Shen Yun looked at Cao Xiu, and nodded: "Cao Zhizhai, you will lead the way in front." Although the carriage walked slowly, it could still reach the walled city in two hours. When the time comes, you will lead me directly to the place where the weapon is fighting. ”

Cao Xiu nodded, got out of the county office, turned over his horse, and led Shen Yun's carriage to the outside of the city.

After galloping on the official road for two and a half hours, the carriage was about to be torn apart by bumps behind him, and the carriage could reach the place where the accident occurred.

By this time, it was already a little dark.

When Shen Yun got out of the car, he found that it was not far ahead, and it was like daylight. Of course, it is not the sun that has risen in the east. Instead, thousands of people in front of them held torches, illuminating the surroundings. At the same time, there were a lot of shouts of killing.

If he didn't know where he was, Shen Yun really thought that he was outside Dashun City.

Shouting to kill the people of the natural mansion walled city and Maling Town. Cao Xiu took Shen Yun to another direction, and after a while, he saw hundreds of soldiers wearing cloth armor confronting each other. The soldiers close to the south saw Cao Xiu coming, and they all showed respectful looks.

Obviously, these are the soldiers of the walled city.

The two walked forward, and a burly strong man came out in public, and said to Cao Xiu: "Cao Zhizhai, these birds in Maling Town have been pestering us, and the last general wants to go to see the situation of the fight, but they don't agree." No, someone over there came to tell us that now four or five people have died on both sides, and they are still shouting for killing at this time, but I am afraid that we will fight tonight. ”

Four people, Shen Yun chuckled in his heart.

It's not because this will affect his career, Shen Yun purely thinks that the people who come to participate in the fight must be strong laborers from the families of the people in the walled city. If you kill four people at once, you will kill four families. There are really some things like this that shouldn't be.

And this strong man spoke rudely, Cao Xiu hurriedly stopped: "Shen Zhixian is in front of him, and Hugh has to be presumptuous." After scolding this strong man, he looked at Shen Yun very respectfully: "County Zun, what do you think should be done now?" ”

This burly man didn't expect that Shen Yun was actually the magistrate, and he was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly asked for guilt: "The last general is rude, and I ask the county to forgive the crime." ”

"Those who don't know are not to blame." In the end, he stayed with those soldiers in Dashun City for several days, and Shen Yun had never heard of any foul words. What's more, there are those classic national scoldings in later generations, compared to those, this person is really the level of a childish naughty child.

In the expectant gaze of the two, Shen Yun pushed aside the soldiers who were blocking the front and walked to the front of the soldiers in the city wall.

"The soldiers on the other side have all listened to me, I am Shen Yun of Anhua Zhi County, and I came to mediate the battle between the two sides of Fucheng Walled City and Maling Town today. Now this county is going to order someone to separate the two sides of the fight, if you are interested, you will listen to my order, and follow the soldiers of the city to isolate the people in front. If you want to stop it, don't blame the county for ordering people to start a war with you and others now. I forgot to tell you that when this county came, it had already ordered several towns near Anhua County to transfer troops. ”

In fact, Shen Yun didn't do this at all, but now in order to intimidate the soldiers in Maling Town, he had to make this move.

Sure enough, the guys were scared.

During this time, Shen Yun's prestige spread not only in Gyeongju, but also in several surrounding states, all of which knew that 5,000 Xixia Mountains had died in the hands of Shen Yun. In the eyes of these soldiers, Shen Yun is definitely a killer.

A voice soon came from Maling Town: "The lowly official is the town official of Maling Town, and he confronted them before, and he was also afraid that they would go up to help the people of the walled city. Since Shen Zhixian is here, we will naturally obey the order. ”

Hearing this voice, Cao Xiu explained beside Shen Yun in a low voice: "This person is Jian Shuangqing, the Zhizhai of Maling Town, it seems that they also agreed to be intimidated by the majesty of the county." ”

"In that case, what are you still doing in a daze. Remember, after going up, you must not use swords or guns against the people. There are many of you, and if you find that you are resisting, you will beat me, and until they have no strength to stand up, then disarm and make them crouch. ”

Although the combat effectiveness of the van soldiers is not good, the deterrent effect is still there. Even though the people in the northwest are fierce, the soldiers are the soldiers, and the people are the people, and the people still have some natural fear of the officers and soldiers psychologically.

For a while, the soldiers dressed in red rushed into the wolves like fierce tigers, but in just two moments, Shen Yun saw that both sides of the fight were forcibly pressed to the ground. At this time, Shen Yun knew that it was his turn to speak.

Escorted by soldiers, Shen Yun walked to the place where the two sides met. This empty place, like the Chu River and Han realm in chess, does not have a little wave. When Shen Yun explained his identity, the people in the walled city of Zhongfu showed joy at night, but the people in Maling Town were a little angry.

Looking at the crowd with different expressions, Shen Yun shook his head: "I know, you must think that when you come from this county, you will help the people of our walled city." Not really. The main reason for coming here is to separate you and the others. There are enough people who have died, and this county will not allow it, and even one more person will die after I come. Now, all of you have heard to me, but all those who are wounded, let me go and heal them at the nearest place. ”

"For the rest, you can rest on the spot. Jian Shuangqing, you will send someone to invite you to the magistrate of Tonghua County. Let's discuss at the junction of Tonghua and Anhua how to distribute this Malingshui in the future. If you can find a solution once and for all, then this trip to this county will not be in vain. ”

Shen Yun did not immediately rule on the river.

As he said before, he doesn't favor anyone. If there is, it is in favor of the wounded.

Of all these people, in fact, none of them had enough status to talk to him. Making rulings without authorization always has the feeling of bullying the small with the big. Although Shen Yun must have hoped that the people of the Walled City would have a better life, the initiative of the river was still on the side of Maling Town, and it would be best if he could make peace.

After finishing speaking, Shen Yun didn't care what the people of Maling Town thought, and walked straight to the side of the mansion walled, took out the silver taels he hastily brought with him when he took them out of his arms, and handed them to a middle-aged man who looked older and slightly older: "Take these money, and use it as medicine money for the injured." The news of the casualties in the fight was also informed to the villagers as soon as possible. By the way, appease them well, and don't regenerate right and wrong. ”

The people of the walled city, looking at Shen Yun's bowed appearance, suddenly had a sour nose.

They and Maling Town have to fight twice a year because of water weapons, and no less than half a hundred people have died because of it for many years.

It seems that this is the only time that makes them feel guilty about what they have done before.
