Hu Xin County.
It was a small county on the northernmost border of Shang'an Prefecture. Seen from the sky, half of it was covered by mountains and the other half by plains, the latter of which was irrigated by a river flowing down from Huai Fu County in Wudao Prefecture.
But now, Huai Fu County had dammed the river. As a result, with the exception of the fields near the mountains that could be irrigated by mountain streams, most of the fields on the plains were left high and dry.
However, an act that so thoroughly cut off people's livelihoods was bound to provoke public outrage.
Throughout history, feuds over water sources have been endless. This time, with the added support of local landlords and village elders, the once honest and dependable villagers of Hu Xin County transformed into a mob in the blink of an eye!
