Chapter 1709 Stealing Water


    Seeing this, Fan Xingchang exined: "Azhe, we naturally saved water, and His Majesty also built a well for our vige, but we have also used up what we saved, there is no more water in the well, and now there is still a little bit left. , but it''s not enough for the whole vige. If we don''te to you, we will only die of thirst."


    "Why is this? How can it be reduced so quickly?"


    "Is such that…"


    It turned out that in order to make the water in the wellst longer, the Lizheng in Linshan Vige stipted every day how much water a family can draw, as long as it is enough to cook, and it is enough to not die of thirst.


    Take a bath or something, I don’t even dare to think about it, the body stinks and it stinks.


    As for the high-yield rice in the fields, they can only be left to fend for themselves.


    But some people are reluctant to give up their hard-earned high-yield rice, or their own ordinary rice. Those people work together, and every day when the whole vige falls asleep, they quietly go to fetch water for irrigation. The water used every night is more than the whole vige. There is more water to eat and drink in the vige for three days.


    Lizheng thought that the water in the well was originally low, so the daily recovery was slow, and the water required by each household was reduced every day, and he also asked each household to try to cook meals that required a small amount of water.


    After a period of time, I found that the grain in the vige was basically dry, but the rice in several households was still green and the fields were wet, so I suspected that someone was stealing water in the middle of the night.


    The ??li was calling all those households in front of him and questioning them, but they insisted that it was the rain that fell and had nothing to do with them.


    Some say that their ancestors appeared and helped them, and it only rained in their homnd.


    Lizheng also had no evidence. Seeing their sophistry, there was no way to take them, so he had to let them go first, and nned to catch the thief in person at night, ande and get the stolen goods.


    It''s just that those people were very vignt, and they were afraid of being discovered. They actually sent special people to guard near Lizheng''s house. Every time Lizheng went out, those people ran back home, and after Lizheng returned home, they went out again. steal water.


    After repeating this a few times, Li Zheng knew that he was being targeted, so he slowed down for a few days, wanting them to rx their vignce and stop getting up in the middle of the night to arrest people.


    Until a few nights ago, Li Zheng got up again and went to the well, and before he got there, he heard a sound over there.


    Coincidentally, the people who were sent to monitor by those households rxed their vignce, thinking that he had given up the idea of ??catching the thief because he had not been out for the past few days.


    After all, I supervise every night, and I have to get up to work after sleeping very little during the day. No one can stand it, so I fell asleep that day.


    Li Zheng arrived at the well that day, and happened to see those people who were stealing water.


    Rizheng was terrified, and immediately rang the gong next to him. Those people had no time to stop them, so they could only let the vigers surround them.


    The people in the whole vige were very angry when they saw that the well water was much less, but they still did not return the water they used up, and they had no money. Write it down for now and settle the ountter.


    And those wells have been used for a few days. Each time they go, they can only fill half a barrel, which is enough for several households to eat and drink.


    Gradually, the entire Linshan Vige began to be in chaos, and fights over water happened every day.


    There are also those who sell their daughters and sell their daughters, fleeing from the mountains to the mountains, to go to their rtives to go to their rtives.
