The water in Fujian is turbulent, and it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the water potential in the upper reaches of Hongtang has eased a little, and it took many years to rush out of a good piece of land in the middle of the river. The people of the two villages here see it as the same as the root of life, and the development and utilization are to the extreme, and there is no idle field, so there are many rights and wrongs.

It stands to reason that the surname Xie is not a big surname in the book, and there are not as many as the Lin family in the next village, in the township where there is no law at all, the male Ding is the king, and the Xie family can't fight the Lin family. But a few years ago, after a child of the Miaofeng Xie family was lifted, the entire Xie family followed, and now it is in turn pressing Hongshan Village.

Lin Yanchao wore bast shoes and trotted along the ridge road in the village.

When I arrived at the embankment at the entrance of the village, I saw people everywhere on the side of the canal from a distance. There are more people in the east, it seems that they are all from Hongshan Village, and there are fewer people in the west, which should be from Miaofeng Village. Seeing that people on both sides were standing on one side and scolding, indicating that there was no fight, Lin Yanchao was a little relieved.

After walking a few dozen steps, I saw the villagers on both sides resting in the center to persuade him, and his heart was more settled.

Since the old man in the township came forward, it is estimated that this fight will not be able to fight, it is estimated that it is a verbal debate, and then the losses will be discussed, and it can be dispersed afterwards.

Lin Yanchao was even more relieved, and boldly walked into the crowd, the people in the village are all big men, don't look at the low-headed ploughing that only knows honesty all day long, once it involves the production of water and soil, each will not give in. If it weren't for the old people in the townships on both sides, who persuaded peace, I'm afraid the two sides would have fought a long time ago.

It is not once or twice that the two villages have clashed over the matter of field lawsuits, and the villagers have always helped their relatives rather than take care of them. A group of old men scolded each other over there with their necks stalked, which made Lin Yanchao see the breadth and profundity of Fujian slang.

Lin Yanchao is a young man, mixed in the crowd, he is inconspicuous, and the adults don't take him seriously, but he listens to a few adults in the village and understands the matter.

It turned out that yesterday, Mr. Xie's third son threw away the canal in Hongshan Village and diverted water to irrigate his own field, so it was enough, and he also pulled a large piece of water and soil in Hongshan Village, so it was enough, and a river beach in Hongshan Village dried up, and the best clam in Linjia Village on the river beach was destroyed.

Clam Cheng is a riverbed, a place to raise clams on weekdays, in the peak season, you can catch five or seven quintals of clams casually, not only for the people of the village to eat, but also to pick into the city to sell. Ruining the clam in Hongshan Village is to cut off the livelihood of the people in the village, otherwise the people in the village would not be so angry.

When it was noisy, I don't know who shouted: "Xie Laohu, here!" ”

Suddenly, the people in the village fell silent.

Lin Yanchao looked, but saw that the people walking up the embankment were led by people in their forties, and there was no doubt that it must be Xie Zongjia, but seeing Xie Zongjia walking over with his hands behind his back and kicking his shoes, more than a dozen people dressed like splashes stood behind him.

The Xie family, who was under siege, suddenly stiffened their waists.

One mile long is the sky with a radius of more than ten miles.

Lin Yanchao read this passage from the book, the world's persistence, from top to bottom, there is a lieutenant chief on the first head, a lieutenant on the chief, a county order on the county order, a feudal division on the county guard, a feudal division on the feudal division, and the Son of Heaven is added. That is, according to the administrative level of the li, county, prefecture, and province, the chief, the prefect, the prefect, and the political secretary are from the bottom to the top.

Although the lieutenant chief is the smallest administrative unit, the lieutenant chief is an errand for the king and has six powers: first, to control the top ten; Second, urging money and food; Third, hook up on official business; Fourth, the battle of household arrangement; Fifth, the household is the king's chacha, and sixth, the grain is retained.

Speaking of the lieutenant chief, when Lin Yanchao was studying in Hongtang Social Sciences, he also dealt with Zhang Zongjia a few times. In Qinghua, there are four generations of eunuchs like Zhang Jingjia, no matter how big Zhang Zongjia is, his waist pole is not as hard as that of the eunuchs, and it is not his turn to say the things in the village, so Zhang Zongjia is always smiling and welcoming people, and it is almost like being a peacemaker.

But the households below Yong'anli are different, except for the Xie family in Miaofeng Village, there is not even a person with meritorious fame in other villages. Xie Zongjia is a barbarian on weekdays, singing the horn of black face, and on weekdays, the village urges money and food to say the same, it is useless to plead, and he does not give anyone face, and the villagers from all over the world gave him the nickname of Xie Laohu.

Lin Yanchao looked at this Xie Zongjia, he looked a little similar to the eldest mother. I heard that this person was irritable when he was young, and later because the Xie family had a lifter, Xie Laohu climbed to the official mansion and became the chief of the temper, so he restrained a little. After this person became the lieutenant chief, he was very protective of the Xie family and the villagers of Miaofeng Village, and the people of other villages were already dissatisfied with him.

"Mr. Xie, it was your three sons who destroyed our village's clam cheng."

"If you want to talk nonsense, didn't we see it?"

"It's just borrowing some water and soil, not filling it in for you again, making a noise." The people of the Xie family shouted.

Xie Zongjia raised his head and shouted: "Third child, is there such a thing?" ”

"Dad, there is, but ......" The third child of the Xie family responded.

"Bastard thing." Xie Zongjia scolded, and kicked his son off the ridge without waiting for an explanation. Everyone hurriedly helped the third child of the Xie family up, but he fell all over the mud.

"If something is broken, how much money will be paid to others, our Xie family can't afford to pay this money, but we can't afford to lose this person. I thank the villagers for lifting up on weekdays, calling me the chief armor, and being an errand for the court, so I can't let the villagers point to my backbone and scold me and say that it's not fair. ”

What! Xie Laohu actually changed his sex.

The third elder of the Xie family said with a bitter face: "Yes." Be. ”

Several old people in Hongshan Village quickly accepted the truth when they saw it: "Mr. Xie, we all admire the party, and the third child is also unintentional for a while, and now the people of the two villages have resolved the misunderstanding." Okay, it's okay, let's disperse, let's disperse, don't delay the farm work in the field. ”

The people of Hongshan Village thought that it would be good if the matter could end like this, and they didn't lose face, but they were about to turn around and take a step when they saw Xie Zongjia squinting and moving his lips.

"Wait! I said you can go? ”

Everyone stopped, and the old man of Hongshan Village said with a smile: "What else does Mr. Xie have to order?" ”

Xie Zongjia squinted his eyes and said: "Uncle Lin, the autumn flood is coming, and the Fujian River is about to flood, I received a letter from the yamen, asking us to send more dam men to patrol along the river. ”

Several old people hurriedly said: "Where are there so many people, this dam man has to be on the embankment all day and night, the autumn flood is coming, the autumn harvest is coming, what should I do if I miss the harvest in the field." ”

"You rammers, you don't have the slightest knowledge," Xie Zongjia reprimanded, "If the embankment is broken and the water floods in, can the rice be harvested if it is soaked in water?" It's just that your Hongshan Village family is flooded, do you want us to accompany you in the whole Yong'anli? Are you making a mistake, or am I making a mistake? ”

Several old men were reprimanded by him, and their faces turned red, so they could only beg: "Xie Zongjia, you are tolerant, twenty dam masters, there are too many for our Hongshan Village, it is better to let all villages in Yili send people to the wheel, so that everyone will be beneficial." ”

Xie Zongjia bent down, squatted on the ridge and said, "You are shrewd. If the embankment is in your village, do you want people from other villages to stay on your embankment? You don't care about tea and rice? Even if you take care of the tea and rice, will they be willing? If you can draw a line, then you will be the one who will be the leader! ”

An old man saw that Mr. Xie was approaching step by step, and he also said in the face at the moment: "Mr. Xie, you are too domineering to do this." ”

Mr. Xie changed his face suddenly: "Domineering? Your eyes see me domineering, I'm fucking domineering, I'll kick my son down the ditch, I'll make him apologize to you, you rammer, provoke Lao Tzu, you have to give Lao Tzu a handful of age, go to the embankment to patrol the dam. ”

Mr. Xie shook his majesty, and the old man didn't dare to say any more.

Another old man said roundly: "The matter of General A is in a hurry, I will find Lin Pusi to come back, discuss it, and then reply to you, do you think it?" ”

Lin Gaozhu is also regarded as the No. 1 capable person in Lin Village, and he and Xie Zongjia are still in-laws, although there have been conflicts between the two sides recently, but it has not reached the point of inexorability, so I want to launch Lin Gaozhu to ease the situation. But this old man didn't expect that Xie Zongjia hated Lin Gaozhu to the core.

"Lin Gao, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself! Don't be verbose, it's useless to say that it's broken, when the time comes, there will be one less dam filler in your village, and I will skin your old goods. Xie Zongjia sneered.

Xie Zongjia was so arrogant, several old people in Hongtang Village were frightened, and the other men in the village also dared to be angry.

At this moment, a voice sounded, crisp and loud.

"Mr. Xie, if you have anything to do, just come at my grandfather, don't declare personal vendetta and embarrass my fellow villagers!"

Xie Zongjia scolded: "Whoever is sneaking around over there is kind of standing under my nose." ”

But seeing the crowd, Lin Yanchao strode to the front of Tian Ridge and glared at Xie Zongjia.

"It turned out to be you, your grandfather didn't dare to talk to me like this, what are you, why don't you hurry up and find your child daughter-in-law to breastfeed." When Mr. Xie said this, the people of the Xie family laughed. After the eldest lady was kicked out of her husband's house, who complained to Xie Zongjia that it was Lin Yanchao's black hand behind her back. But how could Mr. Xie not believe that a twelve-year-old boy could come up with such an idea, thinking that his daughter had exaggerated it.

But today he saw how powerful this young man was, he borrowed the matter of the dam man to organize the army, which was originally just aimed at the people of Hongshan Village, Lin Gao's family, he had already arranged more ruthless means to clean up. But as soon as the young man shouted like this, it became a link between the two things, portraying him as the cause of the discord with Lin Gao's family, and expanding the blow to the revenge of the entire village.

Let the people of the entire village stand aside with the Lin family and share the same hatred with him.

Lin Yanchao didn't show any anger at all because of Xie Zongjia's sarcasm, just stared at him coldly. Xie Zongjia was stared at by Lin Yanchao, and thought to himself that this kid was a little famous, so if he was a little timid, how could he dare to look at each other like this.

"What am I, what are you, Mr. Xie, as the chief A, you disregard the laws of the country in vain, conniving at your son to change the canal privately, moving people's land, and destroying people's industry, this is knowing the law and breaking the law! Let me ask you, do you dare to say that you are not wrong? ”

Lin Yanchao pointed at Xie Zongjia's nose and accused.

Yong'anli, how long has it been since anyone pointed at Xie Laohu's nose and asked such questions. Xie Laohu's hands were bruised, and his heart was on fire.
