When everyone heard the dead man, they all began to rush to the place of the accident, all the tiger guards looked at Xiao Ming together, Xiao Ming nodded, everyone went to see, and when they encountered the bullies in the township, Xiao Ming didn't mind that he and everyone would go together to claim justice.

The villagers ran forward together, Xiao Ming and they followed behind, ran for a while and found that there was a very large courtyard in front, there were many people gathered at the gate of the courtyard, and the noise also sounded here, Xiao Ming and they came here with the flow of people, it turned out that the courtyard here was just a simple courtyard building built with thick wooden sticks and branches, but it occupied the ground and was quite large.

Xiao Ming and the others followed behind, and squeezed up to see clearly, it turned out that this was just a big vegetable garden, surrounded by many people, there was a man howling, and the others were just watching the excitement, and the crying man seemed to be very sad with a handful of snot and tears, and was shaking a man lying down on the ground.

"Two dogs! My dear brother, why are you dead? Wei Laocai is really ruthless——! ”

Xiao Ming looked around, the vegetable field was planted with some seasonal vegetables, but it was also wizened, obviously not watered enough, Xiao Ming also saw the well, quite a high well platform, surrounded by a group of obviously vegetable farmers, with dung spoons and hoes in their hands, vigilantly looking at the villagers surrounding them. These people are obviously not in a group, and the villagers who are looking around do not seem to be sad about the death of Ergouzi, but have a lot of gloating expressions.

"Looks like there's something strange here!" Xiao Ming said secretly.

When Xiao Ming saw the rich man Wei, he knew that his judgment was really right! The so-called rich man Wei is actually like a typical vegetable farmer, it turns out that the owner of this large vegetable garden can be regarded as a rich lord in this area, and the well is in his vegetable garden, and it is thought that it is also the well dug by the rich man Wei himself.

The rich man of Wei pointed to the crying man and said, "Old cinnamon! You don't fucking cry here, your second dog just fell here and pretended to be dead after being pushed by me, you two brothers are hooligans in this village! If you want to come to Lao Tzu to play the autumn breeze, there is no door. ”

Old Cinnamon stood up instead of crying, he wiped his snot and said, "Okay, you Wei Laocai!" Our brother is kind enough to help you sell water and charge for it, you don't have a good heart from time to time, but now there is a big drought, and the villagers are about to die! You actually guarded the well water and did not let everyone use it, your conscience was really eaten by dogs, right? ”

These words are very inflammatory, and some of the surrounding villagers immediately echo them with righteous indignation, and the group is afraid of this kind of thing, as soon as someone incites it, many people's emotions will soon be aroused.

Wei Cai's face was flushed with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Who said that I won't let everyone use water? As I said a long time ago, this well leads directly to the Pinghuai waterway, and the water must be used at night, don't you think my own vegetable patch can't be watered either? ”

At this time, an old man stepped forward and asked, "Old Wei, you always say that the well water leads to what kind of Pinghuai waterway, what is it?" Why can I only use water at night? Do you see that the crops in the fields are about to be jointed, and now that there is no water, this year's harvest is complete? ”

Wei Caizhu said: "It's not that I don't say, I really don't know, this well is handed down by the ancestors in the early years, our Wei family has always been the person who guards the well, only know that the water in this well seems to be connected with the water of Jiaogang Lake on the mountain, there is a Pinghuai waterway in it, and when the lake water drops at night, the well water will overflow, and if the water is used now, the waterway will be destroyed, and our village will be flooded!" ”

Wei Laocai's words attracted Xiao Ming's great attention, but the old cinnamon here did not relent: "Forget it, Wei Laocai, put away your deceitful nonsense, don't you just want to occupy the well and charge?" It's already been rumored, and you're going to charge half a penny for a bucket of water! ”

Rich Lord Wei's face turned red again: "You are talking nonsense! This rumor must have been spread by you! No matter how greedy I Wei Laocai is, I won't sell life-saving water for money......"

"You rich man Wei is a well-known miser, who believes what you say!" Old Cinnamon continued to bewitch.

Xiao Ming coughed, it was time to come forward himself, the tiger guards squeezed up and shouted: "Lord Xiao has arrived!" Suddenly squeezed out a passage for Xiao Ming in the crowd.

Xiao Ming pretended to appear very deterrently, where have ordinary people seen any "official" at most can see the township Baozheng, I heard that it was the "official" who came, and immediately showed a panicked expression, and involuntarily moved his body to the sides, opening a way for Xiao Ming, and the timid one had already knelt down.

Especially like Xiao Ming, there are a few people with sabers beside him; The relationship between the "government and the people" in the Northern Song Dynasty should be regarded as the weakest, but under the long-term feudal society and Confucian society, the official standard still has its role that cannot be ignored.

But Xiao Ming feels very good, he has always been a little person who is not taken seriously, he looks up to others, he has always thought that if he wants to be valued by others, he must be a rich person, wealth can bring people a certain social status, but there are some things that cannot be brought, that is the way he is now feared.

After a good feeling for a while, Xiao Ming then sighed slightly in his heart, "It seems that some things can't be changed overnight, and those things in people's hearts seem to be traditional!" ”

He didn't forget what he was going to do, and walked forward quickly and said to Rich Lord Wei: "I have already heard what you said just now, let's talk about it, what is going on?" ”

The rich man of Wei knelt down and bowed, kowtowed, and said: "The little people don't know that the adults have arrived, and they still hope to atone for their sins, I don't know what the adults want to know?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "I am the Xuanhui envoy of the imperial court...... Well...... I've come here to check the drought and hope to help you solve your water problem."

The rich man of Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, "Great, the court has come, we are saved!" Folks! The court has come to solve the water problem for us, and now we are saved! ”

The people cheered, which made Xiao Ming a little embarrassed, he was casually talking nonsense for a reason, thinking that the people below didn't know what kind of official the "Xuanhui Envoy" was, that knew that people were now taking the responsibility on his shoulders, Ding Jianpeng, who came together, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, it seems that Xiao Ming didn't see the gold, and he was bleeding again!

Here Xiao Ming grabbed the rich man Wei and was asking about the well, it turned out that the well in the vegetable field of the rich man Wei was indeed an ancient well, and the ancestors of the rich man of Wei seemed to be specially guarding the well, and it seemed to be the fifth generation of the rich man of Wei's generation!

This well is really amazing, there is no water during the day, there is water at night, it is very regular, it seems to be with what "Pinghuai Waterway" to figure out, the ancestors of the rich man of Wei once said that the well water seems to be connected to the thunder pool in the sky, and it will never dry up, but the water at the bottom of the well must be retained, if the well water is lightened, the water of the thunder pool in the sky will be cut off, and there will never be water in the future, so the rich man of Wei will care about this well very much, after all, he will point to the well water for this large vegetable field.

What attracted Xiao Ming's attention was the word "thunder pool" mentioned twice by the rich man of Wei, he looked at the well, the well was very deep, nearly a hundred meters, it was dark and secluded, Xiao Ming knew that the well water was the groundwater that was opened, but the groundwater like a tide was the first time he heard of it, and he learned from the rich man Wei that the small river at the mouth of the village and the stream under the mountain had long dried up, and the water in the village was this well.

"It seems that this well is still weird!" Xiao Ming thought about it, and he asked the rich man of Wei again: "Are you here in Jiaogang Village?" ”

The rich man of Wei shook his head blankly.

"Is there a mistake?" Xiao Ming was a little confused, and came back to discuss with Ding Jianpeng, whether to send someone out to look for it again, now he only knows that Jiaogang Hu is Xiaoleichi, and this is not Jiaogang Village, so it is estimated that no one will know where Jiaogang Lake is!

Ding Jianpeng signaled Xiao Ming not to be impatient, he personally stepped forward to chat with the rich man of Wei, Xiao Ming watched him and the rich man of Wei chatting hotly, I don't know if there will be a result, I can't help but feel a little irritable, looking at the many villagers around them, many people have hidden the flat pole and dung fork in the back, the official family did not let go, and they did not dare to go.

Xiao Ming said: "You all disperse, just let my people do it here, um!" Where was the dead man just now? Who saw it? ”

Only then did everyone realize that the second dog who was lying on the ground and died had disappeared, not only did he even disappear the old cinnamon that was crying and wiping away his tears just now! It looks like it's sneaking! Everyone burst into laughter, and slowly dispersed! With the official family of the imperial court here, the big guy has the backbone, and it seems that this year's drought should be able to survive in his village!

．．．．．．

After Ding Jianpeng personally communicated with the rich man of Wei, he walked towards Xiao Ming, looked at Xiao Ming's hopeful face, nodded with a smile, and said: "This is Jiaogang Village, yes, but the name 'Jiaogang' is the name of our later generations, and now this village is called 'Jiang Village', and the locally produced ginger is more famous!" ”

"And where is that lake?" Xiao Ming asked.

Ding Jianpeng said: "There is a canyon and a large lake less than three miles away from here, I think it is there."

Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "Great! Let's go now! ”

"Wait a minute" Ding Jianpeng stopped Xiao Ming, "I think this well here is strange, from the stone tablet next to the well, it seems that this well should be an ancient well, it seems to be from the Han Dynasty, you should send someone down to have a look."

"What! Han Dynasty's? The surprise on Xiao Ming's face was exaggerated, but he had to believe Ding Jianpeng, because he was a professional, "Does the ancient well of the Han Dynasty have anything to do with King Liang Xiao?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but think about it in his heart, it seems that he should find someone to go down and have a look.

It was Gu Xiaoliu who volunteered to go down, this kid said that he had already hit a well with someone, and he was thin and flexible, so he was the best candidate, Xiao Ming told him to pay attention to safety, and then agreed.

Everyone set up a shelf next to the well and found a rope, tied Gu Xiaoliu and went down the well, Gu Xiaoliu tied an oil lamp to his waist for lighting, the rope was put down little by little, about sixty or seventy meters, the bottom signaled to stop, and waited for a while, Gu Xiaoliu came up, with an excited face.

"There's a secret passage down there!" This was the first sentence he said to Xiao Ming.

It turned out that the wall of this ancient well was sixty or seventy meters away, and a secret passage more than one person high appeared horizontally, Gu Xiaoliu did not rush in, but came back to report to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was very excited, and found Ding Jianpeng to discuss, it seems that there is a secret of the "Han Dynasty" here, and it is very likely that the treasure of King Liang Xiao will be found through this secret passage, and he is not going to find any "Little Lei Chi" at all.

Ding Jianpeng agreed, then the next step is to explore this secret passage, Xiao Ming immediately arranged manpower, although the rich man Wei didn't know what Xiao Ming was going to do, but the family was an official family, and he wanted to do the right thing, so he was very cooperative, and sent all the vegetable farmers under his command to Xiao Ming for him to use, and got a large number of rope brackets.

After Gu Xiaoliu went down to investigate for the second time, he came up for a long time, he took a break and said to Xiao Ming: "The secret passage is very long, and it is getting wider and wider, it looks like an underground canal!" He is afraid that he will not be able to investigate comprehensively, and he needs Xiao Ming to send more people. ”

Xiao Ming asked, "What do you say it looks like down there, a canal?" ”

Gu Xiaoliu nodded.

Xiao Ming frowned and said, "I know, this is the 'Pinghuai Waterway'!" ”
