Youzhi led everyone into the countryside and into the house, where the husband and the wanderer were together, but they didn't expect that there was another one in the house. Seeing this person, Liu Ji's expression was not good, the man was none other than Yongya, who was quite contradictory to him. Liu Ji's heart sank, thinking about how to resolve this crisis, if he didn't handle it well, he was likely to be ruined, and at this time he hated Liu Daniu, a reckless man.

"What's going on?" Seeing Youzhi's solemn expression, Sifu also asked in a deep voice.

Youzhi smiled bitterly, and then told the details of what was happening outside the door. Hearing this, Sifu and You Yi both frowned, they also knew the importance of the matter, You Ji stroked his beard, and said tentatively: "Liu Ji won't be like this, it was Xiao Xiancheng that day." ”

Sifu was quite steady, and said in a low voice: "In this way, let's see how Liu Ji explains first." ”

"It's fine." Youzhi also agreed.

"Liu Ji, is what Liu Yuan said true?" Sifu looked at Liu Ji, his voice raised slightly, and asked with majesty.

Liu Ji shook his head, he saluted to the three elders, his face was aggrieved, and he replied with some sadness: "Back to the three elders, how dare Ji deceive, Xiao Xiancheng was with the three elders that day, even if Ji was brave, he wouldn't dare." Then he paused and said, "Ji knows that in the past, I had a bad reputation in the Surabaya Pavilion, so I ate and drank together. However, Ji Youxin has changed his mind, otherwise how would he sacrifice the method of building the reservoir? Don't hide it from the three elders, this Liu Yuan once went to the pavilion to make noise because of irrigation, and was later injured by Lu Juan and Fan Xu, but Ji has already reprimanded the two and apologized to Liu Yuan. Then he said again bitterly: "It's just that I didn't expect him to hold a grudge all the time, and now he is using such a low means to slander Ji, and he also asks the third elder Mingjian." ”

"Huh!" Before the third elder could speak, Yongya smiled sarcastically.

"Liu Ji, you villain, when did Brother Yuan slander you." Liu Daniu gasped and was angry, he pointed at Liu Ji and roared, "Third elder, don't listen to this villain's words. ”

"Liu Daniu, do you still dare to slander my brother Ji?" Fan Hao rushed forward, pointed at the big cow, and shouted.

"Presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Yuan and Liu Ji opened their mouths at the same time and reprimanded, "Don't say anything more!" Liu Yuan glared and admonished.

Then he saluted the three elders and said: "Back to the three elders, yes, as Liu Tingchang said, Lu Juan and Fan Xu have apologized to Yuan, and Yuan has forgiven and has no grudges. Immediately afterwards, he said in a deep voice: "As for this method of construction, I have a few doubts that need to be asked to Chief Liu Ting. ”

Liu Ji's heart tightened, but his face was still pretending to be relaxed, and he laughed and said, "What's the doubt?" If Brother Liu wants to know, I can tell you in detail when I return to the pavilion. ”

"Why do you need to go back to the pavilion, Liu Ji, I think it's good here." Yongya on the side suggested.

"Yongfang!" Liu Ji gritted his teeth and warned: "It's none of your business here. ”

"Naturally, it's none of my business." Yongya didn't look at Liu Ji, just clasped his hands in front of his chest like that, and said lively: "I'll just say a fair word." ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, the husband also said in a timely manner: "Okay, this is the township!" Then he said to Liu Yuan: "You ask." ”

Liu Yuan saluted to the sifu, he looked at Liu Ji, and said very firmly: "I think one of the construction methods offered by Pavilion Chief Liu is a rice straw, I don't know if it is." ”

"Yes, there are rice stalks." Without waiting for Liu Ji to answer, You Yi nodded and said, "This reservoir is a gravel structure, and it needs to be chopped with rice straw and lime to fill the joints. ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he said in a deep voice: "There is also a reservoir in my Jingyang, the same gravel structure, but it is chopped hay instead of rice straw. It turned out that he had slightly modified the construction method handed over to Liu Ji, but fortunately he had an extra eye at that time.

"Okay, you Liu Yuan, you dare to bully ......" Fan Xu was furious.

"Shut up!" Before Fan Xu finished speaking, Liu Ji scolded and stopped, and Fan Xu almost missed his mouth.

The third elder was looking at Liu Ji at this time, and Youzhi asked with some confusion and wavering: "Pavilion Chief Liu, how do you explain this?" ”

Liu Ji was in his heart, and the words of Youzhi made him vigilant, and it seemed that the three elders were also suspicious. However, he smiled and justified: "At that time, they just ran out of rice stalks, so when the reservoir in Jingyangli was built, Ji let them use hay instead. Little Brother Liu, don't pretend to be confused, if Brother Ji has something that can't stand you, he will apologize to you here. As he spoke, he bowed to Liu Yuan as an apology.

"Yes, it's a possibility." Sifu also agreed with Liu Ji's statement.

In that case, Yuan still has a question. Since this reservoir was built by Liu Tingchang, how many zhang is the reservoir in my Jingyang how many zhang long, how many zhang wide, and how many feet deep? Seeing that Liu Ji didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, Liu Yuan also admired his cheekiness and scoundrel, so he asked again.

"This ......" Liu Ji had never been to Jingyang, so he naturally didn't know, he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Don't hide it from the three elders, the reservoir in Jingyang Ji was built by others, and he didn't interfere, so I don't know the size." ”

Yongya laughed, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing, and he sneered again, "You shirk it cleanly." ”

"It's okay, I don't know who Liu Tingchang handed over to build it, but you can pass it on, and you will know it when you ask." Liu Yuan also laughed and said, this Liu Ji was obviously panicked, otherwise he would not have answered so reluctantly.

Seeing that Liu Yuan was chasing after him, Liu Ji was extremely angry in his heart, and secretly said that he would let him taste the taste of servitude in the future. Under the gaze of the three elders, Liu Ji could only reply stubbornly: "Lu Xuan, didn't you go to Jingyangli, how many zhang long and how wide are you?" Knowing that Lu Juan had inspected the reservoir in Jingyang that day, he gambled all his success or failure on Lu Juan.

Lu Wan was stunned, he had indeed been to Jingyangli, but who would pay attention to the size of the reservoir. He was very aggrieved and couldn't say what he was suffering, he thought about it for a while, and then looked at Liu Ji and saw that the latter's face was gloomy, so he said vaguely: "It is three or four zhang long, and about two zhang wide." ”

"Three elders, my Jingyangli reservoir is three zhang long, two zhang wide, and eight feet deep, and the three elders can order someone to measure it." Liu Yuan saluted to the three elders and said.

Hearing Lu Xuan's answer, Liu Ji knew that he was finished, and he was powerless to defend at the moment. The three elders have countless experiences, and it would be ridiculous if they couldn't tell right from wrong at this time. Youzhi had a calm face and said, "You don't need to measure it." Good for you, Liu Ji, you actually deceived everyone! ”

"The three elders listened to Ji's explanation." Liu Ji was no longer calm and said hurriedly.

"What explanation do you have for this?" You was also angry, "You are really a deceitful and a thief." ”
