Chapter XVII. Justice

"What's going on?" Liu Yuan's face turned pale and asked in a low voice.

"The reservoir under construction by Yang in Shanxi Province encroaches on the boundaries of Upper Mali. This was also my negligence, and I didn't find out the boundaries of the site when I chose the site. Liu said apologetically and blamed himself.

Liu Yuan said again in a deep voice: "What is being invaded is fertile land?"

Liu Fang hurriedly shook his head, he smiled bitterly: "It's not a good field, Brother Yuan told me before, how dare Fang, it's just a weedy clearing."

It's not a good field, Liu Yuan nodded, and said, "Let's go, go to Shanxi Yang first."

The people of Yang, Shanxi Province, were furious that the reservoir they were building had been filled in by the people of Upper Mali. Yang Lichang shouted angrily: "Ma San, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Ma San, the chief of Shangmali, pointed at Yang Lichang is anger and said: "Yang Lao Wu, don't go too far with Yang Yang, Shanxi, this reservoir has been repaired to the boundary of our upper Mali."

"What bullshit is on the boundary of Mali, this is what Liu Ting's father asked us to build." Yang Lichang retorted directly.

"Father Liu Ting?" Ma San paused, and then said, "What does he know?" Yang Lao Wu, you don't pretend to be confused with me, this willow tree is the realm, don't say you don't know, this was planted by your father and my father. ”

Yang Lao Wu glanced at the willow tree, the reservoir they built had indeed crossed the boundary, and his face was embarrassed, but they had a lot of fields in Yang, Shanxi, and they couldn't water it at all if they didn't expand the reservoir. He couldn't care so much, raised the shovel in his hand, and said angrily: "What if you cross the line?" Today, this reservoir has been repaired by Yang in Shanxi. ”

"That's it, do you think that our Shanxi Yang is easy to bully?" The young men behind Yang Lichang also raised their shovels, and there was a tendency to fight if they didn't agree.

"Yang Lao Wu, you can do it." Ma San snorted coldly, "Come on, you want to try?" He also lifted the shovel in his hand, and the young men in Mali behind him were also not to be outdone, and the farmers on both sides scolded each other, seeing that the conflict was about to escalate.

"Quiet!" Suddenly, a low but majestic voice came from the back of the crowd, and everyone looked at it when they heard it, only to see Liu Yuan coming over.

"It's Pavilion Chief Liu."

"Pavilion Chief Liu is here, it's great."

"Pavilion Chief Liu, you are here to judge." The two people got out of the way, complaining.

Liu Yuan walked closer, he swept over Yang Lao Wu and Ma San, his face was gloomy, he took a deep breath, and said, "I already know the matter." ”

"Pavilion Chief Liu, I really don't blame us for going to Mali for this." Ma San actually admired Liu Yuan very much, and he asked himself if he became the pavilion chief, he would not be as benevolent as Liu Yuan, he immediately saluted, and complained with an embarrassed face.

"Pavilion Chief Liu, let's ......" Yang Lao Wu also opened his mouth to explain.

Liu Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, he looked at the refilled reservoir, and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault for this, Liu Fang, why don't you come and apologize?" Then he continued: "It was caused by Liu Fang's negligence. ”

When Liu Fang heard this, he stepped forward, bowed to Yang and Ma, and apologized to himself: "I hope that the two lieutenants will not hurt the harmony, this matter is the responsibility of Fang alone." Mali Chief, please forgive me that Fang was negligent. ”

During this time, Liu Fang was in the middle of each mile to guide the construction of the reservoir, and his hard work was seen in everyone's eyes and remembered in their hearts. Similarly, he also has a lot of prestige in Surabaya Pavilion. Seeing Liu Fang personally apologize, Ma San's expression became even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "Father Liu Ting, what are you doing, how dare I blame you?" ”

"Don't hide that Mali is long, Shanxi Yang has a lot of people, and this reservoir has to be expanded." Liu Fang spread his hands, and explained helplessly.

"This?" The mayor of Mali also hesitated, he naturally knew that he was the mayor, and he could not ignore the interests of Mali. So, he saluted Liu Yuan again, and said with some embarrassment: "Pavilion Chief Liu, it's not that I, Ma San, don't cooperate, it's just that the people in my horse are watching here, and I can't let the villagers gossip in private." ”

Liu Yuan also knew what Ma San meant, which was also what he was afraid of. Shanxi Yang occupies the first place, if he is unfair, once the people talk nonsense in private, the people's hearts and prestige will be damaged, and this is the reason why the gossip confuses the public. Don't underestimate rumors, and don't underestimate any small thing about injustice, which is the source of intensifying contradictions and dividing people's hearts.

For Liu Yuan, this is a crisis that he needs to handle carefully. Hearing Ma San's words, Liu Yuan also folded his hands on his chest and pondered, and the people in the two were also waiting, especially the farmers in Mali, after all, they were the ones who were hurt now.

Liu Yuan looked at the willow tree, he found an interesting place, one side of the willow tree is two miles of fertile fields, looking from a distance, the willow tree is in the middle of the fertile fields. So he laughed and had an idea in his heart, "Mali Chang, Yang Lichang, you two miles are close to each other, and when you were competing for water in the past, you two were one nostril to breathe." Why should this hurt feelings today? ”

Then, he continued: "Why can't you share a cistern? ”

"Shared cistern?" The two of them and all the people were stunned when they heard this.

"Yes, now this reservoir has encroached on the boundary of Upper Mali due to expansion, and this reservoir is in the middle of your two miles of fertile land, which is suitable for you to share two miles, so naturally there is no such thing as encroaching on the land boundary. What do you think? Liu Yuan explained.

"Naturally, I have no objections." has already encroached on the territory, of course Yang Lao Wu will not refute Liu Yuan's proposal at this time, otherwise wouldn't he slap himself in the face?

Ma San turned around and discussed with several old men in the village, and after a while, he smiled and said: "It's still Pavilion Chang Liu who has seen it thoroughly, and I am willing to share this reservoir when I go to Mali." Of course, the more the reservoir, the better, especially the pond in front of me, which is in the middle of the fertile fields, but it is an excellent location, and the people of Upper Mali are happy to accept it.

"In that case, Mayor Mali, don't let everyone dig the earth?" Liu Yuan smiled and glanced at the landfilled cistern.

Ma San touched his head and smiled very embarrassedly: "I've caused trouble for Pavilion Chief Liu today." Then he led people to start digging, and when Yang Lao Wu saw this, he also ordered the strong men of Shanxi Yang to help build it.

When the matter was resolved, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, so he left Shanxi Yang. Walking on the field path, he felt guilty, so he said to Liu Fang: "I have wronged you today." ”

"Brother Yuan, what are you talking about?" Liu Fang's heart warmed, he knew that what Liu Yuan said was Fang Cai's apology, and then he smiled honestly: "It's Fang's fault, not only did he not share his worries for Brother Yuan, but he almost caused the dissatisfaction of the people." ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he patted Liu Fang's shoulder, and everything between the good brothers was silent.

When he returned to the pavilion, Liu Yuan found that Youzhi, one of the three elders of Fengyi, had been waiting in the house for a long time.
