"I've heard from elsewhere that you seem to have two villages fighting for water, do you know that?" Xuanyuan Qinghe looked at the old man's tone and hurriedly asked.

Xuanyuan Qinghe wanted to know if these things had been dealt with, and after two or three days, he found that he still couldn't improve.

"There's such a thing! Why have you heard about it? The old man simply sat down on the flat pole and began to speak.

"As far as our village is concerned, it is with Wangjiazhuang, because there is only one river there, and it was originally proposed to be used together. But who would have thought that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the only water source was gradually drying up, so the two villages fought for the water source. ”

"It shouldn't be!" Xuanyuan Qinghe felt that his head was big in an instant, obviously he had already sent Cui Qi to deal with this matter, why didn't he even have any movement until now, shouldn't it!

Xuanyuan Qinghe gradually felt more and more confused, thought about it and said, "It seems that they didn't pay attention to what I said at all?" ”

"Then we're going to fix them?" Li Xiaoran said in a bare and ghostly manner.

Xuanyuan Qinghe and Chen Wei looked at Li Xiaoran at the same time and gave her a thumbs up, and Chen Wei said even more excitedly: "Then let's go do them!" ”

The old man was originally sitting on the flat shoulder, and heard that this Chunlian newcomer was going to apply for their official uniform. , he slowly stood up with the tree beside him.

"Don't fool around, that's the people of the government, you can't fight." The old man kindly reminded that in fact, the old man didn't want to fight for such a big incident in his heart.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qinghe and the others laughed, and Li Xiaoran said even more ghostly: "Why are you not sure, we are also from the government?" ”

When the old man heard this, his body trembled, and he carefully looked at a few people, all of whom were young people, and they didn't have the style of being an official.

"Don't you deceive my old man, isn't this tantamount to death?" The old man still didn't believe it, and resolutely persuaded them to say.

Xuanyuan Qinghe and the others didn't pay attention to it, and got into the carriage one after another, and Chen Wei was ready to drive the carriage to officially enter Ning County.

When passing by the old man's side, Li Xiaoran lifted the curtain by the window. , and quietly said to the old man: "The person who spoke to you just now is the prefect of Qinzhou, and we were sent by the imperial court to solve this matter." ”

The old man was even more shocked when he heard this, the carriage had long since disappeared, and the old man stared blankly at the watermelons in his basket, but found that there was still silver in the basket.

Although the carriage was long gone, the old man still remembered the conversation just now, stood in place and said to himself: "I believe in you, I hope I don't believe in mistakes!" ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe, Li Xiaoran and the others, naturally they didn't believe what the old man said, and after sitting for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Ning County.

After passing the checkpoint and entering the city gate, under the guidance of Chen Wei, everything seemed to be very easy, and he immediately entered the city.

As soon as you enter the city, it is completely different from the landscape of the suburbs, which are full of desolation and peasants, while the city is full of prosperity and luxury.

"So we're just going to the yamen to find the magistrate now?" Chen Wei led the carriage and said to the few people in the carriage.

"No, let's just take a look and find out!" Li Xiaoran answered this question instead of Xuanyuan Qinghe.

Xuanyuan Qinghe actually wanted to say this, but he didn't think that Li Xiaoran said it, so he suddenly felt that he and Li Xiaoran seemed to have become more tacit

"So let's just go for a walk? So where are we going? Chen Wei asked suspiciously.

Chen Wei led a carriage, although he said that he was walking casually, but if he was so aimless, Chen Wei didn't know how to go.

"Just go around! Take a walk! ”

Answering Chen Wei or only one sentence, Chen Wei felt that his heart was cold for a moment, and he simply didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one. Just turn around, go wherever you want.

Sitting in the car, he was not idle, Li Xiaoran immediately asked Xuanyuan Qinghe Road: "Have you figured out how to solve it?" ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe's face was embarrassed, the corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably, and he said very unpleasantly: "I just came, I don't know exactly what happened, how do I know how to solve it?" ”

Although that's what he said, Li Xiaoran didn't think so, in Li Xiaoran's heart, he should have to make a plan first, as for what the plan is, I don't know.

"Run, run!"

"The one who collects the protection money is here again, let's go, let's go!"

A few people sitting in the carriage suddenly heard a sound coming from the side of the road, so they hurried out to look, and found that many hawkers, who had begun to move things frantically before confiscating their stall titles, began to withdraw.

When Chen Wei saw all kinds of actions, he grabbed a little brother who was running fast next to him, and asked very suspiciously, "Is this what happened?" ”

"The bandit is coming, he wants to collect our protection money, even if you have to collect the protection fee of passers-by, you can run!"

As soon as the little brother finished speaking, he escaped as quickly as a rabbit, and disappeared in an instant.

"I'll see who dares to go today! Surround them all! ”

An unusually sharp voice sounded, and a man riding on a horse not far away slowly rode over.

The person riding on the horse looks very mediocre and his clothes are very torn, but there is one thing that is very different, that is, there are a lot of gold teeth in the mouth.

"After paying the protection fee, isn't there nothing to do, I have to do it every day, hurry up and pay it, let's go!"

The man on the horse said very normally, like this is not the first time, but it happens every day?!

"No, there will be such a thing in the county, and this is the first time I've seen it!" Li Xiaoran felt more and more inexplicable.

In a good county, there are bandits, and listening to their tone, it seems that it is not the first time, this situation happens from time to time, and this county government does not seem to have taken care of it?

"Why are you doing this today, do you still have money?" A younger brother was talking to a vendor kneeling on the ground.

"Big brother, I'm just selling fish, I can't make a little money, didn't you come yesterday? I've already given it to you, that's all there is to it today, you can do it, let me live! ”

The vendor who was kneeling on the ground kept kowtowing to the little brother and begging for mercy, and the hawker was already in tears.

Xuanyuan Qinghe had already gotten down from the carriage, and he had a general understanding of what had happened, so he asked a hawker next to him before he received the money, "Won't your government deal with this matter?" ”

The peddler was reluctant to answer at first, probably because he was afraid, but then he slowly spoke: "I have managed it several times, and each time I said that I had driven it away, but every time I still came!" ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe was instantly angry, and couldn't help but scold: "You call this a tube, will this happen after a tube, isn't this all nonsense!" ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe's fierce words attracted the attention of the people on horseback, and Xuanyuan Qinghe naturally noticed it, but Xuanyuan Qinghe was angry, so he replied directly: "Look at a fart, do you have nothing to do?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a little errand boy ran directly to Xuanyuan Qinghe's side, and said threateningly: "You tell me again, you still dare to scold me for being the third master, you have fat guts?" ”

The three masters sitting on horseback waved their hands to let the little minion retreat, and the little minion retreated very unconvinced.

The third master said to Xuanyuan Qinghe with great appreciation: "I have never seen you, it seems that you are from other places, no one has ever said this to me, you are the first." ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe closed his eyes directly, got into the carriage, and ignored it, as if he was already going to sleep.

Li Xiaoran and Ling'er didn't get out of the car, they were still sitting in the carriage, if Li Xiaoran got out of the car, with Li Xiaoran's appearance, wouldn't it be like an uproar, so they didn't go out to see.

"My eldest brother is talking to you, I'm deaf!" The unconvinced little minion couldn't help but open his mouth and scold.

Xuanyuan Qinghe still didn't have any reaction, which made the little minions angry again, Xuanyuan Qinghe was actually patient, maybe it would break out after a while.

Li Xiaoran also felt that he was about to lose his breath, so he opened the curtain and looked, and saw a group of people surrounding the entire street, and a plain-looking person sitting on a horse and ordering his subordinates to collect money.

After looking at it, he felt that it was not interesting, so he lowered the curtain again, retreated into the carriage, and continued to wait for rescue.

"Three masters, did you see it just now?" A younger brother immediately said, looking at this look like a demented look.

The three masters had actually seen it, and they were attracted in an instant, just the moment Li Xiaoran opened the curtain to show his face, the souls of this group of bandits seemed to have been hooked away.

"And such a girl, why don't we snatch her back and let her be your wife?" The little minions beside him coaxed and said, I can't wait for the three masters to do it quickly.

The three masters themselves are not stupid, all the vendors around them feel scared, and so are passers-by, but the only difference is that the people around this carriage, whether it is Xuanyuan Qinghe who made a provocative speech just now, or the coachman who has not spoken, it makes people feel unusual.

But after the fairy-like woman appeared, the three masters confirmed their thoughts, and all the people on this carriage may be extraordinary.

"Hurry up, the spies came back and said that the people from the official yamen are about to arrive, and now we are surrounding them, and they will surround us later."

A man who galloped to the side of the horse of the three masters said hurriedly.

"Have you collected all the protection fees?" The third master asked.

"The three masters, all of them have been received, but the people of this carriage have not received them, do you want to see if we want to...?"

The protection fees of the surrounding neighborhoods have been collected, but all the people in this carriage have not collected their money, and this group of small buildings dare not approach, for fear that something will happen.

"Three masters, we can't rub it any longer, either we collect the money and leave, or we quickly take the woman who appeared just now away!"

There is a person next to the three masters who has been persuading, and Xuanyuan Qinghe is actually listening silently, and he has already guessed in his heart that that person is the henchman of the three masters.
