A tall building with cyan rain eaves, with only five columns downstairs, and a height of one and a half people. There was a man hanging upside down downstairs, dressed in a small white coat, with a mantle and long hair that hung down to the ground, completely obscuring his face.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the hair of the person who was hung upside down suddenly fluttered, and the man puffed out his cheeks and blew the hair blocking his face, gradually revealing a face, which was the new county Cheng Xu Boyi of Huxian County who came to mediate.

Xu Boyi's face was red because he was hanging upside down, but his forehead was blue for some reason. As soon as he saw someone approaching, he immediately shouted, "Let me down!" You lawless people dare to imprison the officials of the imperial court, uh......"

The man kicked him impatiently and staggered upstairs. A big white goose that was foraging in the straw downstairs was attracted by his cry, and came to him with its fat buttocks, quacking.

Xu Boyi showed a look of horror on his face and said, "Go away!" Go away! Bah! Phew! ”

Xu Boyi's body hung upside down, his hands tied behind his back, unable to prevent the white goose from approaching, in desperation, he had to spit on the white goose, this weapon is obviously not lethal, the white goose suddenly opened its wings, quacked and ran away, suddenly jumped up and stretched out its long beak to peck hard, and pecked accurately on Xu Boyi's head.

The black green of Xu Boyi's head was pecked out by this big white goose, and the slightest touch hurt to the bone, how could he afford such a fierce peck, Xu Boyi was so painful that tears flowed out. In the blur of tears, another person faintly approached.

The man didn't walk in front of him, but squatted down and tilted his head to look at him, Xu Boyi blinked, and the face slowly became clear. Ye Xiaotian squatted down, tilted his head to look at him, and said in surprise: "Oops." It's really you, Xu Xiancheng! Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

Xu Boyi saw the person who came, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "It's you?" Did the officers and soldiers go up the mountain? Haha, Luo Patrol dispatched officers and soldiers, right? Fast! Hurry up and let me down, and arrest all these mobs who have insulted my officials......"

Several strong men from Lijiazhai who were following Ye Xiaotian were standing with their arms crossed, and when they heard Xu Boyi's words, their faces began to be a little unkind. Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "Lord Xu, isn't your head the same as my toes, used for walking?" ”

Xu Boyi was stunned and asked, "What?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "There are more than 3,000 people in this village. Recruit the patrol soldiers to go up the mountain? How can you figure it out. ”

Xu Boyi said: "There are no officers and soldiers going up the mountain? That...... So how did you end up here? ”

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "It's not because you were arrested. As a mediator, you can do your part, Lord Xu, you are also unprecedented. Ye Xiaotian shook his head and stood up, and Xu Boyi shouted, "You let me down first!" Where are you going? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "I said it here, don't worry, Lord Xu, don't be impatient, wait until I see Master Li Zhai." ”

Lord Li Zhai sat cross-legged upstairs, sitting his eldest son, second son and several elders of the clan on the left and right, seeing Ye Xiaotian walking into the room, Lord Li Zhai waved his hand and said coldly: "Sit!" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled. sat down in the guest seat by the door, and said to the master of Li Zhai: "Master Li Zhai, I have admired the name for a long time, and I will see it today." Fortunately. ”

Lord Li Zhai looked at Ye Xiaotian curiously, he had already received the news that Gaojiazhai had withdrawn just now, and he thought that it was this person who could persuade Gaojiazhai to retreat. He should not be underestimated.

Downstairs on stilts. Luo Daheng looked around on tiptoe, and suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder, and a voice sounded in his ears: "Don't look for it." I'm here! ”

Luo Daheng turned his head and saw that it was Li Bohao, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Oh, Brother Bohao, I have found you." ”

Li Bohao said impatiently: "You are here for the carriage and horse business, right?" I sue you, they are too bullying in Gaojiazhai, our surname Li is consumed with them this time, I can't take care of the car and horse shop, you can figure it out yourself. ”

The tycoon said, "I'm not here for this, you come here." Luo Daheng pulled Li Bohao aside, lowered his voice, and said sneakily: "Gaojiazhai has withdrawn, do you know?" ”

Li Bohao said proudly: "Of course I know! Our Li Jiazhai just didn't want to hurt people's lives, so they didn't fight with them, they wanted to defeat our Li Jiazhai, it was just wishful thinking! I knew they were going to roll back up the hill in disgrace. ”

Luo Tycoon spat: "You know a fart!" Why do you think they withdrew? Because they have made a secret agreement with the government. ”

When Li Bohao heard this, his expression immediately tightened, and he hurriedly said: "What agreement did they reach with the government?" ”

Luo Daheng said: "Did you detain the county and county? ”

Li Bohao said: "Not bad! Obviously, it was the people from Gaojiazhai who cut off the river, so we Li Jiazhai got entangled with them, but the dog official blindly favored them, and wanted to arrest me back to ask for the crime. ”

Luo Daheng sneered: "Gao and Li are fighting for water, this is a matter where the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, no matter how the government manages it, it is impossible to level the bowl of water?" But you detained Xu Xiancheng, now it's okay, not only have you made enemies with the people of Gaojiazhai, but the government has also been offended by you. ”

Li Bohao sneered: "I'm afraid he won't succeed!" We didn't kill the one surnamed Xu, and the court will mobilize the people for my Li Jiazhai to help him? Isn't the court afraid that countless tribes in the mountains will be suspicious because of this? ”

Luo Daheng sneered again and again, and Li Bohao said angrily: "What are you laughing at? ”

Luo Daheng said: "Do you think this is a trivial matter? The court officials can be arrested if you want, and you put the court on the ground? ”

Li Bohao said: "I have thousands of tribes in the mountains of Guizhou, if they dare to touch me......

Luo Daheng interrupted him and said, "What if they join forces with Gaojiazhai? When the time comes, there will be Gaojiazhai to pacify the tribes in the mountains, and then cooperate with the officers and soldiers, one will fight from the mountain down, and the other will attack from the bottom of the mountain. ”

Li Bohao's face changed, and Luo Daheng said: "I heard about the government's plan from my eldest brother, Brother Bohao, you and I are both classmates and working partners, I don't want you to make a big mistake by being obsessed." When he heard the news, he hurriedly followed. I only said to my eldest brother that I was willing to be a classmate of both of you and assist the government in mediating disputes, but in fact, I was all for you, otherwise why would I have worked so hard to climb mountains and mountains. ”

Li Bohao said hesitantly: "Since they want to collude to deal with me Li Jiazhai, then why did your eldest brother come to see my father?" ”

Luo Daheng said: "Of course, it is better not to use soldiers without using soldiers!" My eldest brother is called salute first and then soldier, if you don't know how to lift, then the Huaxian order can only be sent to the court to ask for troops. Brother Bo Hao, Gaojiazhai cut off the river, causing you Lijiazhai to have no water available, this was originally Gaojiazhai's. But if you do this, it doesn't make sense, why bother? ”

Li Bohao's face was uncertain for a long time, and he asked, "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Luo Daheng said: "This river first passed through Gaojiazhai, they took advantage of the geographical advantage, you fight with each other, in addition to beating people to death to vent their anger, can you really grab water?" In my opinion. It's better to let Xu Xiancheng go and push this problem to the government to solve.

You are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the government can't watch you die of thirst and starvation, right? If the government can't come up with any good solutions, then you will have some drastic actions. Don't you have a valid reason, you have to live too! ”

Li Bohao pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Not bad! I'll tell my dad about it right away! ”

Li Bohao hurriedly ran to the stairs and arrived at the staircase. Suddenly, he turned around, hugged his fist heavily at Luo Daheng, and said gratefully: "Good brother! ”

Luo Daheng smiled. As if blessed by the heavenly officials, he nodded to Li Bohao with a trembling fat chin, and said in a very emotional voice: "Hmm! Good brothers! ”

On the stilt building, Ye Xiaotian was negotiating with the owner of Li Zhai without humility or arrogance, regarding the issue of water supply, in fact, Ye Xiaotian couldn't come up with a good way that was acceptable to both parties for a while, so he avoided talking about it, and only talked about the issue of releasing Xu Xiancheng, at least the two sides would not have a direct conflict.

Although Ye Xiaotian's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, in fact, the wording is very careful, and he will never say a word that will stimulate the master of Li Zhai, Ye Xiaotianxiao talked eloquently about what he said, and the master of Li Zhai and several elders in the clan couldn't help but be a little moved.

In fact, they didn't want to make enemies on both sides, they were so angry with Xu Boyi's attitude that they lost their minds at that time, and they couldn't help but feel a little remorseful at this time, they didn't want to be enemies of the court after all, but they were a little unwilling to let Xu Boyi leave.

At this time, Li Bohao hurriedly ran upstairs, glanced at Ye Xiaotian vigilantly, walked quickly behind his father, and whispered to him. This group of dog officers! If I don't let Xu Xiancheng go, I'm afraid that I will be attacked on both sides. However, if I let Xu Xiancheng go, the government is now fighting with Gaojiazhai, wouldn't it be even more biased towards them? ”

Ye Xiaotian saw the expression of the lord of Li Zhai, and knew that the tycoon had already spread the word, so he took the opportunity to say: "Regarding the matter of the water source, you can rest assured that the lord of Li Zhai, whether it is Gaojiazhai or Lijiazhai, it is my people of the Ming Dynasty, as the magistrate of Huxian County, it is impossible for us to take sides."

Master Li Zhai, you should release Xu Xiancheng immediately. Next, I would like to ask Li Jiazhai to send a person as your representative to return to the city with this official, and negotiate with the people sent by Gaojiazhai to come up with a good method acceptable to all parties. Yes! This official is familiar with Ling Gongzi Bohao, so it is better to let him go back with me. ”

The eldest son of the lord of Gaozhai stared at Ye Xiaotian with distrustful eyes, and said coldly: "You are talking flatteringly, do you want to take my fifth brother as a hostage?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "This official represents the upright court, not the green forest thief. ”

"Well...... Master Li Zhai stroked his beard and nodded slightly, and then turned his inquiring eyes to the elders, seeing that the elders also bowed their heads, the master of Li Zhai said to Ye Xiaotian: "The old man promised you, but if you dare to lie to me......

Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "This official has a few words and falsehoods, and the sky is thundering!" ”

At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, and they also made promises, Ye Xiaotian only said this sentence, and Li Zhai said no more.

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Actually, Xu Xiancheng also has good intentions, but the method is wrong, and Xu Xiancheng regrets this misunderstanding." Just downstairs, Xu Xiancheng told me that after he went back, he would build a high platform in front of the county government and go on a hunger strike to pray for rain to show his sincerity! If it doesn't rain for a day, he goes on a hunger strike for a day, and Linggongzi goes, just to be a witness for him! ”

: A new day has begun, asking for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!.
