But just this moment, several villagers were already lying on the ground, with blood flowing from their mouths and noses.

More than half of the ground is also bruised and swollen.

"stop!"

When he got closer, Li Xuan yelled directly.

The two hundred soldiers behind them also shouted in unison.

"Stop, stop!"

The householders of the two villages who were concentrating on the fight never expected that they would have a group fight, and instead of the county yamen servants coming, they would attract a group of soldiers with steel knives and shields instead.

After seeing clearly, around them, at some point, Li Xuan and others surrounded them.

The more than 100 dealers were all surprised.

After a while, the householders of the two villages each dragged the wounded in their own village, and quickly separated, looking at Li Xuan and the others with vigilant faces.

Although these soldiers did not wear armor, the closer they were to Liangzhou, the more veterans there were in these villages.

Just by taking a look, one can tell that the group of strong men surrounding them must be a group of soldiers who have been on the battlefield.

"This general, I don't know what is the purpose of coming to our Qinghe village?"

Among the crowd on the left, an old man whose forehead was hit by something hard and swollen into a big lump slowly stood up and bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

"Old man, you're welcome. I'm just a passer-by, not a general!"

Li Xuan cupped his hands slightly in return, and then asked: "You wait for so many people, why are they fighting like this in broad daylight?

Especially those few, their noses are almost gone, if someone misses and hits them directly on the neck, wouldn't they die immediately? "

A group of people are all uniform military standard weapons, if they are not soldiers, are they lying to ghosts?

Thinking about it, the village chief of Qinghe Village looked bitter and complained angrily, pointing at a group of people opposite.

"This nobleman, the bastards in their Dashi Village are really angry. In the winter, they even built a dam with stones in the upper reaches of this river, cutting off the water source of my Qinghe Village, and leaving a hundred people in my Qinghe Village without water. eat!

They already want the lives of everyone in Qinghe Village like me, so I am not a softie in Qinghe Village, at worst, everyone will die together! "

Immediately, all the farmers in Qinghe Village glared angrily at the people in Dashi Village opposite.

"Gentlemen, don't listen to the nonsense of the turtles and grandchildren in Qinghe Village. Qinghe Village is hundreds of steps away from this well. There is a well in their village. They drink well water on weekdays and never eat this well. water in the river."

On the side, a group of farmers in Dashi Village were also angry, and quickly argued to Li Xuan.

"My lord, the bastards in Dashi Village fart. In winter, the water in the well has long since dried up. Where can we get the well water to eat?"

"Your Excellency, the bastards in Qinghe Village are lying to you. The wells in their village have water all year round. They just want to occupy the entire river, and they want to fight against my Dashi Village everywhere..."

The two waves of dealers quarreled with each other again.

However, with Li Xuan and a group of guards around, the householders in these two villages only quarreled with each other, but they didn't dare to fight.

And Li Xuan also understood.

Dashi Village is located in the upper reaches of the river, and lives by drinking river water every year.In winter, I felt that the flow of the river was much less and it was difficult to fetch water, so I built a dam with stones on the upper reaches of the river.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, two fish can come out of it.

However, in this way, the downstream Qinghe Village will not have access to river water, and the villagers of Qinghe Village also want to catch fish from the river in their spare time.

Moreover, it is winter, and the wells in Qinghe Village don't have much water, and they often freeze, making it difficult to get water.

Therefore, Qinghe Village was very dissatisfied with the dam built by Dashi Village on the upper reaches of the river.

People from the two villages often quarrel together.

Today, the village chiefs of the two villages didn't know who was wrong, so they fought together.

Is this still available?

In ancient times, people in a village were very united. People in their own village could only be bullied by their own villagers, and outsiders could never touch them.

Especially after the head of the village was beaten, all the villagers in the next two villages came here to make an appointment with the farm tools they had at home.

It just so happens that the river water problem can be solved!

"So, you all want to monopolize this river, even if you don't hesitate to kill a few young people in your own village?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered helplessly.

"Your nobleman, although we are fighting, we have a sense of proportion. The two villages are so close, how could we fight to the death? We just need to subdue each other!"

The village head of Dashi Village said in a low voice.

"Is there still a measure?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, pointed to a villager who was still sitting on the ground, and said: "Look at the scars on his face, when he came here, he was being trampled on the ground by several people, with two hands and two legs They were all trampled on tightly, including those from Dashi Village and Qinghe Village.

However, everyone is only focused on fighting. If someone hits his head or neck with a hoe by mistake, or a bunch of people step on his stomach, do you think he can still come out alive? "

"Even if it wasn't him, he was not the only one who was knocked down and lying on the ground just now. If someone dies, no matter which village it is, it will be the fault of both of your villages."

"After his death, everyone in your village is an accomplice. As for those who did it, you can live in peace after night, and you are not afraid of other people's cubs or brothers, who will stare at you every day.

As long as you relax, will you take revenge on you with a machete? "

"..."

Immediately, the villagers of the two villages couldn't help but glanced at each other, their expressions flickering.

No one argued.

They will definitely do this kind of thing!

"So, come and go, the blood feud between your two villages will continue, and you will continue to kill each other until all the males in your two villages are dead?"

Li Xuan continued.

Now, the village chiefs of the two villages, as well as all the villagers, panicked!

"How does this make it?"

……

Chapter 804

Because, they know the peeing nature of their own villagers.

What the nobleman in front of them said was very likely to happen.

Moreover, they have all heard before that there is an ordinary fight between two villages in the east, which has turned into a never-ending vendetta.

Even if the Ming Fu of the county government came to persuade him personally, it was useless.

After more than half of the young men in the two villages were killed or injured, the elders in the two villages woke up.

However, the big mistake has already been made, and there is no way to make up for it, nor can it be resolved!

In the end, it was a few respected elders in the two villages who committed suicide at the entrance of the village with shame on their faces, and then suppressed the hatred between the two villages.

"Everyone, is it worth it to hurt the vitality of the two villages just for such a river?"

Li Xuan asked.

"But this nobleman, I, Qinghe Village, always need water!"

"Exactly, this nobleman, my family of one hundred in Dashi Village also needs to drink water!"

The village chiefs of the two villages looked at Li Xuan helplessly.

"It's been down all winter, why do you have to intercept the river water in spring?"

Li Xuan sneered, and from the eyes of these villagers, he could already see that this kind of villagers were paying attention.

"Besides, spring plowing is coming soon, and when it rains in spring, there will naturally be more water in the river."

"At that time, whether you use it to drink water, water the fields, or fish in the river, it's up to you.

As for this river, it seems to flow down from the upper reaches, and it was not dug by your ancestors, and your ancestors lived when they saw the river.

All villages inhabiting this river can use this river instead of being directly occupied by a certain village like a bully! "

Hearing this, the village chiefs of the two villages couldn't help laughing in embarrassment.

"Yes, thank you for your advice!"

"Don't fight for a river if you have nothing to do. If you have time, you go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials, or hunt some wild animals, and then reclaim an acre of wasteland. The money you earn is not as much as fighting for a river?"

"Yes, yes, the nobleman taught you very well!"

All the villagers nodded again and again.

"Okay, let's take the villagers of each village and go home to treat the wounds!"

After poking around, he prepared to leave with Li Chengqian and others.

"My nobleman, it's noon, why don't you go to the village and have a rest, drink a bowl of hot water, and it's not too late to go!"

The village head of Qinghe Village hurriedly tried to invite him.

"I have more than 200 people, are you not afraid that I will have to eat in your village?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

"My lord was joking, this...?"

Originally, they wanted to compete, but the two villages, Dashi Village and Qinghe Village, who invited Li Xuan, were immediately surprised.

Looking at the more than 200 men behind Li Xuan, he opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly again.

How much can so many strong men eat in one meal?

If you go to their village, can't you eat up their village?

"Okay, I just heard that there is a group of poor people who have nothing to do, and the two villages have an appointment to fight, so I brought the guards over to see.

Now that you don't fight, I should go.

However, I would like to advise everyone, now that the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty have been eliminated, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and there are fertile fields in your family. On such a good day, cultivate more fields and make more money, then marry an aunt and give birth to more children That's the business.

Don't beat and kill every day because of some trivial things, if you break your leg, it's good to be blind?

Although you are poor and illiterate, you should not be stupid.

Such a grown-up man, he must not be in a loss-making business every day!

Now, there are a lot of jobs that can make money in Datang, maybe in a few days, the imperial court will bring the people all over the world to make money together! "

Li Xuan said something with a light smile, and then began to call Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others to leave.

Behind him, the village chiefs of Qinghe Village and Dashi Village were stunned, and then shouted with hope in their eyes: "Dare to ask the nobleman, is what you said true? Can the imperial court take care of me and other poor people?" them?"

"What are you doing lying to me when you have nothing to do?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Although you are poor, you are full of strength. If the imperial court builds more concrete roads, or builds tens of thousands of concrete houses, will you still have no work to do?"

"Thank you for letting me know!"

All the villagers in Qinghe Village and Dashi Village couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Before, when the concrete road a few miles away from their village was being built, the young and strong of their entire village went to carry sand and gravel to level the road, and everyone earned three or four pennies.

"Third Uncle, the villagers in those two villages shouldn't be fighting just because of drinking water, right?"

After walking a certain distance, Li Chengqian turned his head and took a look. The villagers of the two villages who had already started to disperse asked Li Xuan.

"Then what do you think is the real reason for their fight?"

Li Xuan didn't stop, but asked directly.

"Third Uncle, I didn't even think about it! I don't know what it is, it's worth the young and strong people of their two villages gathering together, and killing them like this!"

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

"Who of you know?"

Li Xuan didn't look back, but continued to ask.

"Master, I don't even know!"

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others shook their heads in unison.

"Ren Gui should know!" Li Xuan said.
