Between the slopes near a section of the river bay on the north bank of Weishui, the cross horse ditch is an inconspicuous ditch in the rolling hills, but it is famous for a large-scale township feud fight.

When many people in Qinlong told this story, they couldn't help but sigh. It was originally a happy marriage, but it turned into a bad fate because of a foreign fortune, which made the two wealthy families in the region turn against each other and have not ended well.

This incident also has a certain warning meaning because of word of mouth, especially in Longyou, where the Buddhist faith is already quite prosperous, adding a color of karma and fate, warning people to guard against greed and rashness.

There is even a rumor among the people that if you want to resolve the old feud between these two families, you must have the Buddha who is as wise as the sea to dispel the hatred and anger accumulated in their respective hearts.

With the passage of time, this matter has gradually become a topic of conversation after dinner, and they usually do not pay too much attention to and mention it.

But in recent days, there has been a sudden explosion of talk about it, taking up almost all the time of people's daily gossip. The reason is that the blood debt and grudge that marked the Li and Quan families had been ordered by Dugu Xin, the governor of Longyou, to fill in the cross-horse ditch with earth and stone was actually re-dug up.

Originally, the entire Qinzhou was nervous because of the fear that the rebellion in Liangzhou might spread, but when this matter spread, the rebellion in Liangzhou was immediately forgotten by the people.

Because compared with the rebellion in Liangzhou, if this matter is not handled well, it will directly detonate the resentment and anger of the two wealthy families, and when the people of Qinzhou are about to rush to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, there is no third force that can suppress both sides, and it is possible that the order in the territory will disappear in an instant at any time!

There are a lot of rumors about this matter, and there are many things to say, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Some people say that there is a Longxi Li official from Chang'an, and the powerful people in the township are not angry that the villagers were bullied, so they went to Longshang to suppress and retaliate against the Tianshui Quan clan. It is also said that the gold mine buried in the ravine has been stolen, so the two clans agreed to dig up the valley to find out.

Ordinary people have lived in the countryside for a long time and do not leave their hometowns all year round, and everything they talk about is hearsay, and it is inevitable that it will be false. But some people are not satisfied with these rumors that there is no way to verify the authenticity, and go directly to cross the horse ditch, wanting to see what the truth is.

The area where the cross-horse ditch is located is now crowded with people, and there are people coming and going day and night.

In the middle of the crowd was now a camp that could accommodate about two or three thousand people, and between the camps there were constantly well-armed and sturdy soldiers patrolling in and out. Next to the camp, there is a construction site, where people are constantly digging with hoes, and carrying the excavated earth and stones with board trucks, baskets and other tools.

The cross-horse ditch, which has been buried by earth and rock for several years, gradually appears in front of the onlookers as the people continue to dig deeper. There are many villagers around who watched the battle between the Li and Quan clans back then, and when they see the familiar valley again, they are immediately embarrassed.

Of course, there were also people from the Li and Quan clans who heard the news, and they were angry and scolded in front of them to prevent these people from approaching and digging the cross-horse ditch that meant shame to them. But the enemies couldn't help but see each other, and before the matter could be asked, they fought with each other first, and then were arrested and entered the camp by the soldiers who rushed out of the camp.

In the camp, Huangfu Mu had a solemn look on his face, looked straight at Li Tai with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Li Changshi, do you really have to do this?" This story of hometown feuds, the lord took a lot of effort to calm down, and now if it is rashly set off again, it is really unknown what kind of noise it will become. What's more, the army is about to go on the march, if the military journey is delayed because of the disputes in the township, the consequences are even more difficult to estimate! ”

"I know that this story shocked Longyou, and I still have more than one season in my heart, and I can't think about it anymore. But at that time, even if the two clans have a deep enmity, it is difficult for them to gather a large number of people to go here for a while. Battles of that magnitude will not happen again. ”

The reason why the two clans gathered so many clansmen and horses back then was because the matter itself had been brewing for a long time, and the confrontation was heating up, so that they would be restless if they didn't mess with each other.

However, it does not mean that the two tribes have the ability to mobilize thousands of people at any time, and it is not possible for all the tribes to have no plans for their own life and work, and to be on call at any time throughout the year.

Since Li Tai dared to dig up the cross-horse ditch again, he naturally had a well-thought-out plan in his heart. As Huang Fu Mu said, the army is about to go on an expedition, and if he is not sure that he can solve this matter, he will not dare to rashly set off this old matter.

But no matter how successful he is, Huangfu Mu is far from reaching the level of blind trust in him, he is still bitter, and he is extremely hopeful that Li Tai will return to the state capital to sleep and live a good life, this thing is so exciting, it is really unbearable!

Li Tai saw Huangfu Mu's sad and pitiful appearance, and his heart was happy, so he spoke again: "Even if it is not done properly, the thing has already been done." If it really causes any evil nostalgic variables, I will bear it myself. It's just that Lao Huangfu must join the army to remember the previous entrustment, run around the township diligently, and try his best to invite a few sages and elders from Dangzhou Township to enter here, and assist me in adjudicating justice for this township's order and customs! ”

When Huangfu Mu heard this, his face fell again. He felt that there should be no judgment on each other's intelligence, and he really couldn't think of any way for Li Tai to resolve such an old nostalgia that had plagued the state capital for several years.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, the cross-horse ditch had been dug up, the matter had been spread, and the atmosphere had been quickly created, and it was obviously impossible to fill it back in to calm things down. Regardless of whether Li Tai's method works or not, it is indeed necessary to give it a try.

Although Huangfu Mu's thinking is not broad enough, he is also very meticulous and thoughtful, and after a little muttering, he said to Li Tai: "The humble position has been in the state for a long time, and it is shorter than human communication. The only people who can be invited are the local village sages in Qinzhou, and the village sages of other states and counties are mostly unfamiliar. There are famous ministers of the Quan clan who should be the great zhongzheng of their own state, so there is no lack of solidarity among the townspeople. If Changshi wants public opinion to be fair and impartial, it is advisable to send personnel to visit neighboring states. ”

Li Tai has also investigated the personnel of the two clans in the past few days, and knows that what Huang Fu Mu said about Qinzhou Dazhongzheng is Quan Jingxuan, who is a representative of the Quan family, and is now serving as Fang Mu in western Henan.

Nowadays, there is naturally no nine-product Zhongzheng system, and the so-called Dazhongzheng does not have the right to speak in a word to determine the future of people's official character, just to commend his virtue by an honorary title in the township, and it can also be regarded as a sign of official certification of his township's first hope. Although the actual power is not large, it still has a lot of influence in the concept of rural order and good customs.

What Huangfu Mu meant was that if Li Tai planned to help the villagers because of his background in the Li clan in Longxi, he would not have an advantage in the public opinion of the township in Qinzhou, and he still needed to find support elsewhere. The Li family's county is located in Longxi County, and now it is under the rule of neighboring Weizhou, and if the Weizhou villagers are brought in, they can suppress the Quan family.

"Thank you Huangfu for joining the army for reminding me, I will arrange these things."

Li Tai didn't ignore this, he himself wanted to make a big news, and the more people present, the better, but it also depends on whether the timing can cooperate. Although he is not too confident, it is not appropriate to drag this matter on for a long time, and when the momentum building reaches a critical point, it is necessary to make a decision.

Huangfu Mu looked at Li Tai and didn't look like he was completely forced, so he told him to pay attention to controlling the situation, then he stood up and left in a hurry, according to Li Tai's request, he tried to visit more villagers to enter here, and hoped that Li and Quan could see that there were so many strong people in the township and put up with it. He knew that such thoughts were just extravagant hopes, so he could only use them to comfort himself.

With the passage of time, under the hard work of the people, most of the cross-horse ditch was excavated. In previous years, the embankments built by the Li and Quan families together have also seen the light of day, and the location of the bran gold deposits is also about to be exposed.

At the same time, there are more and more people who gather around the cross-horse ditch every day to watch, especially those excited people from the two families, Li Tai has deliberately built this camp on a large scale, but the two clansmen who are fighting every day have gradually overcrowded the camp.

Li Tai did not abuse and intimidate the two clansmen who were arrested and put into the camp, but only detained them separately, restricted their free movement, and provided sufficient food and drink every day.

Li Tai occasionally tried to ask these people how they would let go of this grudge, but all they got was a sneer, which can be said to be silent and sound, and they were not saved.

Including those people of the Li clan in Longxi, they did not loosen up their words about this because of his identity as the same clan, and some of them showed a little boredom and resistance to him, and even directly asked him why he didn't directly kill all the people of the Zhongquan clan in the camp and what he was doing with them!

However, Li Tai is not frustrated and disappointed by this, there is no threshold in this world that cannot be passed, after all, it is man-made. As long as everyone gives a little love and tolerance, there will always be a better world.

After all, he is not the first time he arrives in Kansai, he can calculate and run away at any time without burden, if this really messes things up, then he can only run back to Taiwan and then show loyalty to Daxingtai, I have done Dugu as I wish for Daxingtai! From beginning to end, my body and mind have been on the stage, and I don't want other people's daughters at all!

Under Li Tai's continuous self-hypnosis with chicken soup, the date he planned to agree that all the powerful representatives in the township and the people of the two ethnic groups would arbitrate and settle the feud had finally arrived.
