The sky gradually changed from pitch black to dark blue, and a trace of white fish belly floated at the end of the sky.

The sun is long in summer, and soon it will be bright.

At this time, Jinling Mansion was very stuffy and there was not even a trace of wind. Some people had already gotten up early and came out to fetch water.

Not all the people in Jinling eat water from the Qinhuai River or the river. There are still many wells in Jinling Mansion. Usually more than a dozen families share a well and usually line up to fetch water, so sometimes they will rush early.

At this time, many people were gathering in front of the well and talking. Later, when the person saw it, he came forward and saw a strange fish in the well water raised from the well. It was pitch black and had limbs, like a four-legged snake, or a toad. The skin was covered with bumps, which was a little disgusting and cunning.

At this moment, a Qingluan Guard ran over with a knife, and a small flag was inserted behind him, which scared the people and scattered one after another.

The Qingluan Guard came to the well, looked at the bucket, and did not care about breathing, and shouted: "The county government has an order, and there are thieves who poison the well in the city. The well is temporarily closed and not allowed to be used!"

Jinling Prefecture is a trinity, both a prefecture city and a prefecture city, and there is also a prefecture county under the prefecture city. In other words, the county government office, the government office, the governor's office, and the governor's office are in the same city. That is, the magistrate, the governor, the governor, and the governor are in the same city.

There is a saying in the officialdom, which is called: I am not good in my previous life, and I am magistrate in this life; I am committed evil in my previous life, and I am attached to Guo; I am committed a lot of evil, and I am attached to Guozhou City. Other magistrates are Bailihou, but the magistrate is like a servant and maid, who is staggering and offering sacrifices to millions of dollars, and are exhausted. People in the officialdom think that it is too difficult to be a magistrate in Guo County and cannot be called. Therefore, it is said that those who have committed evil in their previous life should be a magistrate in Guo County. This is retribution. If you do more evil, you will also have heavy retribution.

At this time, when dealing with the common people, the county government asked the county government to come forward, so Qingluanwei passed on the county government government order.

When the people heard this, they were frightened again and talked a lot. An elderly man asked, "I dare to ask this person, when will he use water? We cannot keep drinking water all the time. In this well, we are far from the water hall."

Qingluanwei replied: "The water in the Water Hall cannot be used for the time being. When the Taoist priests come to clean the water, they say it can be used, that's fine."

As he said that, Qingluan Guard took out two seals from the yamen and pasted them on the wellhead, forming a word "一", and posted a notice that had been prepared on the wall not far away.

After doing this, Qingluanwei went in another direction without stopping.

The people gathered in front of the notice, and the literate person stood up and recited the notice loudly.

Speaking of which, this is also the merit of this dynasty. There are more than ten times more literate people than in the previous dynasty. Basically, everyone can write their own names and understand ten numbers. It is enough to use them in daily life.

After half an hour, two sweaty Taoist priests ran over, with large and small bags hanging on their bodies, wooden boxes in their hands, and large boxes similar to scholar's books behind them. They looked at the seal on the well, stopped, put down the boxes, took out talismans and various bottles and jars from them, and began to prepare to purify the curse of Zhiming Sect.

It has been not a day or two for the Taoist sect and the Zhiming Sect to be enemies. There are ways to crack many of the methods of the Zhiming Sect. This is also the responsibility of the Taoist sect. Otherwise, why should Taoists be respected and why should they hold great power by being transcendent in their position? They are to stand up and protect their peace at critical moments.

However, Jinling Mansion has been in peace for a long time and there are too many Taoist priests in the flower garden. This time, he suddenly encountered an accident, but he was in a hurry. Whether it was the high-quality Taoist priest who was responsible for dispatching and commanding above or the low-quality Taoist priest who were taking specific actions below, he could not help but make mistakes in his busy schedule, and there were also people who were taking a break from fishing.

For Jiangnan Daofu, the old city is not bad, it is well organized, and the situation is easy to understand. The difficulty is that shantytowns and other places are mixed. In addition to the complex personnel composition and the environmental terrain, etc., it is also very difficult to explain the yamen runners and Qingluan Guards who have intersections with all forces.

Fortunately, Li Mingcheng transferred a large number of Beichen Hall spiritual officials into the shantytown area. He was nominally arrested the Beggars' Sect, which was a coincidence, but instead indirectly maintained the situation here and did not turn into the worst situation.

But even so, the situation is still not optimistic.

In a low and messy shanty town in the outer city, a man was fetching water. The well was very simple and had no wheels. He could only lift it up slowly with his hands. He couldn't do the trick of fetching water without the strength. But even so, it was still much more labor-saving than going to the Qinhuai River to carry water.

It is precisely because this well is too simple that even the Military Command Department does not know its existence, and no one comes to paste the seal.

After a while, the man finally lifted the wooden barrel up and placed it on the edge of the well.

At this moment, a strange fish with wings jumped out of the wooden barrel and bit on the man's shoulder.

The man screamed and reached out to pull off the strange fish, but he didn't expect that the strange fish would have sharp teeth and tore off a piece of the man's flesh and blood. The wound was immediately neutral.

At this time, on a street in the old city, two soldiers from the commander of the army were prying open the stone slabs above the culverts on both sides of the street. The two Taoist priests were standing not far away. Although it was early in the morning, there was a little heat. The two Taoist priests had insufficient cultivation and sweat couldn't help but flow down their foreheads. They couldn't help but use their sleeves as fans and fan the wind.

A Taoist priest said, "God, I heard that other places are strengthening dams and preventing floods. It's good that we are here, there are no wind or rain, but it's really a two-dimensional world. That's fine. Last night, the fire was burned to white ground, and the monsters were ripped off again this morning. What kind of world is it?"

Another Taoist priest whispered: "Shut up your stinky mouth, what kind of world is it? Of course, it is the peaceful world, and people can hear it. If there is any trouble today, you and me will be indispensable among the people who are scolded."

The soldiers of the two military commanders were also murmured in a low voice, not authentic men in black, but were among the auxiliary soldiers. They were responsible for transporting food, excavating fortifications, and various chores during wartime. The sewer of Jinling Prefecture is very large, divided into crypts and open channels, which are complex and complex. The specific picture album is in the hands of the military commander. Early this morning, before dawn, the military commander office sent an order to cooperate with the Jiangnan Prefecture to clear the ditches.

According to the rules, the ditch is cleared every year and repaired for three years. It has just been cleared once this year. Why do you have to clear it again? Isn’t this full?

But there was no way, the orders from the superiors could not be violated, so I could only come early in the morning to compete with the stinky ditch.

One man whispered: "Old Xu, just clear the ditch, just clear the ditch. Why are you related to these Dao Masters again? These Dao Masters are usually the ones who don't get mud on the soles of their shoes, so how can they care about these things? When they saw us clearing the ditch, they always hide far away. How could they take the initiative to get in front of us this time?"

The other person was so angry that he said: "It must be the same as us, they are all tasks suppressed by the superiors, otherwise they would be willing to be supervisors here?"

"This is the reason, and I don't know what the men above want to do. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is coming to the Jinling Palace?" The man couldn't help but guess.

"Don't guess randomly, work quickly, or the sun comes out later, you will suffer."

As he was speaking, the thick stone slab was finally pried open, revealing the underwater channel below, and a damp air mixed with a stinking smell surged up.

The two of them looked closely, not caring about the smell, and couldn't help but take a breath.

I saw that there were many strange fish swimming in the culvert, with tentacles, but they were not squids.

The two Taoist priests stepped over and looked solemn when they saw the strange fish in the culvert.

The gate of the Jiangnan Daofu warehouse in Dinghuaimen was pushed by several people and opened heavily.

A Taoist priest strode into the warehouse, looked around for a while, and immediately cursed: "Didn't you bastards have configured the 'little dragon ball'? Why don't you? Wait for a fire?"

It’s not his fault. The summer is already hot, and the warehouse is full of all kinds of supplies. After entering, it feels like a steamer and sweating like rain. The Taoist priest in charge just got angry with the deputy hall master, so he was naturally at a loss.

The deacon Taoist who followed him was scolded by the chief Taoist priest, and immediately turned around and scolded the Taoist priest guarding the warehouse: "The warehouse regulations are clearly written, and it is necessary to ensure that the 'Little Dragon Ball' will be opened in twelve hours. Who can close the 'Little Dragon Ball'?"

The so-called "Little Dragon Ball" is a imitation dragon ball from Taoist sect. It is divided into several models. It cannot drive the flying boat for the time being, but it can effectively reduce the temperature and has a fireproof effect. However, it also needs "Xuanhuang" as a supplement.

Another deacon Taoist priest continued, "This month's 'Xuanhuang' has been used up."

"Why are the accounts in Xuanhuangsi so high? I think you are crazy about poverty!" The Taoist priest in charge cursed again, "Even 'Xuanhuang' is greedy, just greedy, just connect a pipe and go directly to Zhenwu Lake, saving even the water bill!"

After all, the deacon Taoist was guilty and did not dare to say anything. He turned his head and scolded his subordinates: "Why are you standing stupidly? Why don't you start the 'Little Dragon Ball' quickly?"

Immediately, a Taoist priest went to activate the ‘Little Dragon Ball’.

The Taoist priest in charge exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air and ordered: "It is best not to use disaster relief supplies. If you need it, you can transport them out immediately. If you are short of weight, I don't have to say anything more. The investigation team is in Jinling Mansion."

Two deacons and Taoist priests hurriedly responded.

Seeing that the two of them were still in the same way they usually had, the Taoist priest suddenly raised his tone: "I am talking about serious things this time. Don't think about doing things perfunctorily. I tell you, this is a big thing that loses your head. If you can't do it or don't want to do it, quickly tell it out in advance and let others do it. If you don't do it, some people will do it!"

The two deacons and Taoist priests quickly corrected their faces and responded timidly.

Similar scenes occurred in various places in Jinling Mansion. It can be said that except for the man in black, all the people who can move were mobilized.
