When we returned to Li's Mansion, it was still early and the sun had not yet fully risen.

"You two princes, the eldest princess, Prince Chen is awake."

At this time, Jiang Feng came to report in a hurry.

"Then go see him."

Chu Baihan quickly stepped across the threshold.

Arriving at Yan Chen's room, Yan Chen just got up.

Seeing them, he looked a little unnatural.

Especially when he saw Yan Lin, he kept his face away.

In the past, he didn't like his eighth brother the least.

But I was actually rescued by him last night.

"Brother Dahuang, don't worry about it. When you return to the capital, this king will not tell others that this king saved you." Yan Lin said softly at this time.

"you……"

Yan Chen was a little annoyed.

"Hmph, since you helped me last night, I don't care about you!" He gritted his teeth.

"Prince Chen, what do you think about the Siminghui?"

Chu Baihan smoothed the folds of his cuffs, and slowly asked Yan Chen.

"Don't take it lightly. Those little guys that this king chased last night are not low in martial arts." Yan Chen sat down and spoke seriously.

There was a bit of seriousness in Yan Lin's eyes.

His elder brother is extremely proud, and it is definitely not easy for him to make such an evaluation.

"It seems that things are really getting more and more difficult. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, can Jiangnan survive?"

Chu Baihan looked outside with a complicated expression.

"Princess."

At this moment, Chu Baihan's guards walked in quickly from outside.

"The subordinates and others went to explore the secret passages according to your instructions. One of the passages leads to an abandoned courtyard. The other is a dead end." The guard hurriedly reported this matter.

"Death?" Chu Baihan frowned slightly.

In her guess, the other way should lead to a place that is very important to life. Why is it the way of death?
Could it be that she guessed wrong?

"Send someone back there to guard and see if anyone suspicious appears." Chu Baihan quickly ordered.

"Yes, princess."

The guard nodded, then turned around and wanted to leave.

But Chu Baihan suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute, you just stay outside the door and don't go in."

"Yes, princess."

When the guards left, Yan Lian couldn't hold back anymore. She asked curiously: "Emperor ... cough, princess, why don't you let the guards in? Isn't it easier to hide inside? Could it be that you also believe in ghosts?"

"It's not necessarily haunted, but it's definitely evil." Chu Baihan shook his head, his expression a little more serious.

"Very evil? What does this mean?" Yan Chen covered his mouth and coughed heavily, then asked weakly.

He suffered such an injury last night, and his health is not as good as before.

"The shape of the temple and the mountain behind it is particularly like a tomb. Moreover, it is an unlucky tomb." Chu Baihan said quietly.

"hiss……"

Yan Lian touched her arm and found that she had goose bumps.

"Wait, wait a minute, can you stop being so scary, it's scary." He stammered.

Yan Lin looked at Chu Baihan with a little surprise.

"Unexpectedly, you actually understand this."

"It's just a little superficial understanding." Chu Baihan spoke again slowly, with a flat voice.

"Didn't Li Shang say that he was going to solve the drought? How is it?" She continued to ask.

"Hmph, I guess he's afraid of us. He's been out early and late in the past two days, but he doesn't know how things are going." Yan Lian murmured disgustedly.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Chu Baihan turned to look at Yan Chen and asked him about his next plan.

Yan Chen looked embarrassed.

He was originally on an equal footing with Chu Baihan, but being rescued by her last night made him feel inferior.

"My king has no plans for now. I wonder if the eldest princess has any ideas?" He whispered, his tone slightly awkward.

"I heard that water will be released every morning at the Desperate Meeting. Let's go and have a look, and arrest a few people by the way."

After clapping his palms, Chu Baihan said calmly.

……

Maybe because it is the time to release water and fetch water, there are relatively more people on the street.

Many, however, had become emaciated, with lifeless faces.

"Their expressions..." Yan Lian frowned.

"If you are kept in an environment without water for a long time, maybe you will look worse than them." Chu Baihan glanced at him, and then said in a low voice.

Yan Lian frowned, Jiangnan's situation was really more serious than they imagined.

When they approached the well, they found that the common people were queuing up with buckets.

"What are you doing? If you want to fetch water, prepare money and go in line."

Seeing Chu Baihan and others walking forward, those members of the Forbidden Society began to prepare to expel them.

"We're not here to fetch water." Chu Baihan said coldly.

"Hey, you're not here to fetch water, what are you here for? Could it be that you're here to please your buddies?"

The bearded man in the lead stroked his chin, and then looked at Chu Baihan with malicious eyes.

Because there are many women who sell their lust because they have no money to buy water.

Seeing that Chu Baihan was pretty, he felt that she also had this idea.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing this, Nan Xing had a murderous look on his face.

She walked over quickly, then clasped the other's wrist, and broke his wrist abruptly.

"It hurts..."

"You bitches, are you here to mess things up? Brothers, kill them!"

He started yelling.

Hearing the things here, those big men who were still filling water and collecting money rolled up their sleeves and strode towards this side.

They raised their hands, but before they could touch the clothes of Chu Baihan and the others, they were beaten to the ground by Ziying and the others.

"Bring them back to the Li residence." Yan Lin ordered coldly.

Li Mansion?

They said it should be the mansion of the magistrate.

But isn't Master Li on good terms with the members of the Siming Society?Why are you arresting people all of a sudden?

The people looked at each other in blank dismay, a little flustered.

"Everyone, the water in the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the common people. From now on, all the water can be used by the common people, but because the water is scarce, it needs to be restricted. Every household is registered by a special person every day, and only the corresponding amount can be taken. water."

Yan Lin fought with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a deep voice.

His voice is full of inner strength, enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Hearing this, the people hesitated for a moment, and after they realized it, they wept with joy.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor..."

Ziwu and the others got the order, and hurried to destroy the lock and cover of the Forbidden City, and then began to distribute water.

Seeing this scene, Chu Baihan's eyes flashed with surprise.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lin had already made a plan.

"You guys are so brave, you dare to arrest people from my life-threatening society." Suddenly at this moment, a short man who looked like a dwarf ran over, and he yelled angrily.
