Chapter 168 Interrogating Li Shang
"It's been so long and it hasn't rained yet, isn't it okay?"

Because they waited too long, some people couldn't help but questioned it.

But just after he said this, Yan Lin's blood-stained sword came to him.

"My lord, my lord, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong." He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Only at this time did Yan Lin take back the sword.

He looked up and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, with a bit of worry in his black eyes.

At this moment, Chu Baihan led Nan Xing down from the top of the mountain.

"Eight...cough, princess, what's the matter?" Yan Lian hurried up.

"Failed." Chu Baihan shook his head.

lost, failed.

Hearing Chu Baihan's words, those people were both angry and desperate.

They looked at Chu Baihan several times, and originally wanted to say something angry, but thinking of Yan Lin's appearance just now, they could only suppress their fear with sincerity.

One person couldn't bear it any longer. He asked in a low voice, "Eldest Princess, you failed to pray for rain, so what should we do? Wait to die?"

"That's right, are we waiting to die?"

The rest of the people couldn't hold back any longer, and they echoed in muffled voices.

"If not, Eldest Princess, if you apologize to the god, maybe it won't be angry anymore and will be willing to let us go."

God, God again.

Chu Baihan's expression turned cold, she looked at the crowd, and then asked loudly: "Do you really think that you offended the gods in Jiangnan's troubles? The well water dried up overnight because the princess went to destroy the temple and disturbed the gods' cleanliness?"

"Difficult, isn't it?"

The people spoke obsequiously.

"Okay, let's take it as the work of the gods. A merciful god would blame the people for not worshiping, and put a city in danger? Such a god, is it really a god?"

Chu Baihan's voice became colder every sentence.

"You are not allowed to insult the gods like this!"

"That's right, princess, are you trying to kill us?"

"..."

The anger of the people arose again.

"Since you all believe that it was done by the gods. Then at dawn tomorrow, you will go with the princess to the biggest temple in the city and ask the gods for your sins." Suddenly, Chu Baihan said these words in a low voice.

"Here, eldest princess, you, no!"

Yan Lian became anxious when she heard this.

The common people are ignorant, why is the Eight Emperors Wife letting them mess around?

But Chu Baihan's attitude was very firm: "When the dawn breaks tomorrow, I will be waiting for you all."

After finishing speaking, she went straight down the mountain.

The people were stunned, unable to react for a long time.

After they came back to their senses, they held their hands one by one and wept with joy: "We are saved, we are saved."

Seeing them like this, Yan Lian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Brother Eight Emperors, what should we do?"

"Let's withdraw troops first." Yan Lin ordered in a cold voice, and then went after Chu Baihan.

Here, Chu Baihan returned to Li's residence, and she went straight to the firewood room.

The guards imprisoned Li Shang here.

She kicked the door open.

Hearing the movement, Li Shang inside jumped up.

"Prince, princess, it's just right that you're here. I've been wronged, I really don't know anything..."

"Tell me, who told you that this princess can ask for rain?" Chu Baihan asked coldly.

"This, princess, I also heard from hearsay. Did it succeed?" Li Shang swallowed his saliva and asked expectantly.

"Failed." Chu Baihan raised his eyes and looked at him coldly.

Lost, failed?
Li Shang looked pale.

"This princess is impatient, tell me, who is it!" Chu Baihan continued in a cold voice.

"Really, there is really no one. Princess, you have to trust the officials." Li Shang was still stubborn.

"Nan Xing, throw him down the well." Chu Baihan snorted coldly, then ordered Nan Xing.

Nan Xing had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing the order, she immediately came over and grabbed Li Shang by the collar, dragging him out.

It happened that there was a well in the yard, and she only took a few steps before carrying Li Shang on top of the well.

"Aren't you willing to say it now? If this princess's maid lets go, your little life will be lost."

When Chu Baihan came out, she said quietly.

"Princess, spare my life, princess, spare my life."

Li Shang shouted in fear.

This well has dried up long ago, if he falls, he will be disabled if he doesn't die.

When Yan Lin and the others rushed back, they happened to see this scene.

They really didn't expect that she would be so swift and resolute in interrogating people.

"The lower officials said, the lower officials said, it was the housekeeper of the Prince Rong's mansion who broke the news to the lower officials." Li Shang cried.

"Prince Rong's Mansion? Do you know that insulting a prince means punishing nine clans! Are you sure you are really the housekeeper of Prince Rong's Mansion?" Yan Lin said sharply.

Li Shang cried while trembling and replied: "Lord Lin, even if you have eight hundred guts, you don't dare to frame him. He is really the steward of Prince Rong's mansion. On weekdays, the people from the Siminghui will not deliver the water in time. They all rely on Prince Rong's House for financial support. Xiaguan and Prince Rong's House have a very good relationship, how can you not know their housekeeper?"

"According to what you mean, there is a lot of water in Prince Rong's Mansion?" Chu Baihan asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, yes, it should be because there are many wells in his house. Every time they bring water to the lower officials, they are not stingy." Li Shangzi replied quickly.

"There are quite a few wells in your mansion. Why are your wells dry, but the wells in Prince Rong's mansion are still inexhaustible? Haven't you ever thought something is wrong?"

Suddenly, Chu Baihan lowered his voice and asked Li Shang meaningfully.

yes, yes...

After her reminder, Li Shang also began to notice something was wrong.

But he was not given a chance to think clearly. Under Chu Baihan's signal, Nan Xing let go of his hand, and he fell directly into the well.

"what……"

He let out a scream.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." he continued to growl.

Chu Baihan stood on it, rubbed her ears, and waited until Li Shang was tired of shouting, she said calmly: "Master Li, aren't you still dead? What are you shouting for?"

"Huh? Why isn't Ben Gong dead? Water, a lot of water!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a "plop plop" sound from below.

Yan Lin immediately ordered someone to fetch a torch, looked down, and found that the well was full of water.

"No, when this king first entered the mansion, he checked the wells in the entire mansion, and they were all dry, and this well is also dry!"

Yan Lian rubbed her eyes, her tone was very strange.

"Is this king wrong? How is it possible..." He continued to mutter.

"You are indeed wrong, but not now, but the first time." Chu Baihan said quietly.

"What does this mean?" Yan Lian asked suspiciously.

At this moment, Jiang Yu hurried in from the outside.

"Princess, I have read all the pictures you gave me, and it really has the formation you mentioned." She said in a solemn tone.

Formation, what formation?
The expressions of the three princes changed slightly.

"We always thought it didn't rain in the south of the Yangtze River, so we tried to find ways to make it rain, and we also tried to make the people save water. But we ignored one thing-does it really not rain in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Chu Baihan had someone pull Li Shang up with a rope, and then said these words in a cold voice.
