The inspection brought bad news to Chen Sheng.

The two townships more than ten miles downstream of the river have been beaten up because of the competition for water sources!

Hearing the news, Chen Sheng frowned. Recently, there have been more than ten private fights in Minzhong County every day because of river disputes, but these brawls are all minor incidents, and officials in various places can adjust the contradictions and calm the incident, and Chen Sheng does not need to worry too much.

But the surroundings of Dongye are different.

Since the establishment of the seat of governance in Dongye, according to the strategy of the imperial court, in order to better monitor the remnants of the nobles of the two small dynasties of Ouyue, Chen Sheng ordered all the families and relatives of these people to migrate to Dongye to facilitate monitoring and management. After these wealthy nobles migrated to Dongye, they bought land on a large scale, and many villages were vassals on their land, and the forces behind the villages were mixed, and once the contradictions were stimulated, it was likely to cause the fuse of turmoil in Fujian.

However, what worried Chen Sheng the most finally happened.

Due to the lack of rain for several days, the water level of the river has dropped significantly, and in order to save the crops in the land, some villages have built dikes on the adjacent river to cut off the river and irrigate their land.

But when the river is cut off, the downstream channel dries up. Not to mention irrigating crops, even drinking water for the villagers has caused certain difficulties. And so the contradiction was aroused.

The upstream that cuts off the river is the township of Qiping. There are more than 800 households in the population of Suping Township, all of which are people with the surname of Su, this township is one of the food towns given by the imperial court to Dongou Jun Wuzhu, and the background is not small. Therefore, these Qianshou people relied on the influence of Dongou Jun, and did not take the Dili people downstream in their eyes. The population of Dili is even worse, there are more than 1,400 households, seeing that the people of Wuping Township are so bullying, where can they choke this breath, last night, the chief took hundreds of offspring to pick up the embankment built in Yuping Township.

Suping Township also sent people to garrison on the embankment, saw that someone came to sabotage, immediately notified the township elders, as a result of the two sides immediately fought, the Vietnamese people were not afraid of death, between the melee, both sides had losses, two people died, dozens of people were disabled, and there was a draw.

However, the brawl between the Vietnamese people is by no means a matter of fighting, and the two sides agreed to call friends today, and agreed to have a duel this afternoon, and the ownership of the water source will be decided by victory or defeat. The local government sent people to stop it, but they were caught and locked up.

Hearing this, Chen Sheng was furious: "Why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter earlier?" "The background of Fuping Township is not simple, but Di Li is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually. At the beginning, the Minyue army that followed the surrender of the Wuyao, the most powerful rattan armor soldiers, many soldiers came out of Dili, and there were many of Dongyue Jun's henchmen and favorite generals, once there was damage, Dongyue Jun would inevitably react. Although Wu Zhu and Su Shao are already deposed kings, their influence in Fujian is still there, and if the two of them use this thing to make a big splash, they will have a headache at that time.

When such a thing happened, Chen Sheng didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered Qi Long to take two thousand elite troops to deter and control the chaotic situation. He also took Xu Wugui and others with him, and also hurried to the scene.

……

Dongye County Governor's Mansion.

After only a few days of renovation, the county governor's mansion was already resplendent and luxurious. Compared with the county guard's mansion, except for the slightly inferior scale, the rest of the software and hardware are much better than the county guard's mansion.

on the living room. With a faint reserved smile on his face, Li Shen drank happily with the two distinguished guests sitting opposite him. Two guests, one is Dongou Jun Wuzhu, and the other is Dongyue Jun Wuzhu. The two former enemies, now sympathetic to each other, have long been intimate. After the county lieutenant Li Shen took office, he threw an olive branch to the two and put forward some irresistible conditions for the two, which made the two of them excited.

The brawl between the two townships was actually deliberately created under Li Shen's instructions in order to cooperate with some actions. However, Wu Zhu and Wu Shao only played a role in fanning the flames, and the villages that had been resentful for a long time were naturally detonated by him. Su Shao and Wu Zhu didn't know Li Shen's true purpose, and thought that the newly arrived county lieutenant was dissatisfied with the county guard and deliberately stumbled him. Both of them were masters of political struggle, so they naturally clearly understood the seriousness of the factional struggle in the imperial court. Behind Li Shen is Li Si and the entire civilian-bureaucratic group. Chen Sheng has only one teacher, Wei Yu, and he is weak, and when Li Shen sends the signal of invitation, the two will naturally make a choice that they think is reasonable. The two of them really need the forces in the court to support them.

"Thank you two for your help, Li Shen borrowed this glass of wine to express his heartfelt thanks to Dongou Jun and Dong Yue Jun!" Li Shen raised the wine lord and saluted the head of the donkey.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a gesture!" Donkey and donkey don't dare to hold it up. hurriedly bowed in return. In order to show their respect for Li Shen, the two of them wore the knight's robe given by the emperor, which was extremely thick, and between the gestures, the aura of the superior was still there.

Although the heat is hard to get rid of, there is no trace of heat in the small living room. A large ice basin carved from hollowed-out Lantian ink jade was filled with ice cubes, and the cold air emitted was enough to neutralize the heat in the entire small living room.

A guard walked in and whispered a few words in Li Shen's ear. A faint smile appeared on Li Shen's face, and he was in a good mood, and ordered the maids to pour wine and drink with the guests.

Before he could drink two glasses of wine, the housekeeper walked in and leaned close to Li Shen's ear and said a few words. Li Shen frowned slightly, his expression was slightly disgusted, he waved his hand, and said, "Let him go back, just say that the official knows, and he will personally bring someone there later." ”

Naturally, Qian Long, who received Chen Sheng's password, would not accept such a reply. The county guard ordered Jean Tai to lead an army of 2,000 to set off, and after receiving the order, he hurried to the county governor's mansion. Since Li Shen's arrival, the talismans have all been in Li Shen's hands, and if Qianlong wants to take so many soldiers and horses out of the camp, he must have Li Shen's talismans.

But Li Shen didn't want to send out the talisman. Outside the county governor's mansion, the dragon looked furious. He himself is a Yue Min, and he knows that the brawls between Yue people are different from those in the Central Plains. Every village of the Yue people is equal to a small kingdom, and once there is friction, then war and death will follow. The Yue people themselves have experienced too many wars, and the dragon knows even more that in the current environment, once there is a war, it will trigger.

Thinking of this, Qian Long no longer paid attention to the obstruction of the gatehouse, stepped forward and broke into the county governor's mansion, put down seven or eight guards along the way, and appeared in the living room.
