People from the police station posted notices everywhere in the streets and alleys, and read them to the people and businesses.

"Autumn floods are coming soon, so take precautions."

This move caused an uproar throughout the city.

"In my entire life, I have never seen flooding in Yicheng in autumn."

"It is said that it was caused by the storm on the sea."

"The wind on the sea changes its direction in autumn and does not blow towards the city."

This matter has been discussed for several days.

Some people believed it and began to make preparations to prevent storms according to the methods of summer wind and waves; some people did not believe it, but they were afraid that the police department would find trouble, so they also took some precautions.

Of course, most people don't believe it and just watch it for fun.

The National Police Agency will not punish those who do not believe.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the city, the farmland in the countryside is very harsh. Many troops are stationed to help harvest autumn rice.

Anyone who refuses to comply will have to wait another ten days and a half, and the officer will stab his head with his gun.

With such strength, the autumn grain was successfully harvested.

The "autumn tiger" has been severe these days, the temperature is extremely high, and the sun shines from morning to night. Although the busy farming schedule is tiring and hot, the rice can be dried quickly.

After two or three days of harvesting and drying, in less than five days, more than [-] acres of autumn rice in Yicheng were all put into the grain depot.

It was so loud that it was reported by newspapers and shocked the whole country.

Many people in the press criticized Governor Jing, feeling that he was deliberately tormenting farmers.

Harvesting ten days in advance did reduce production, but farmers had no complaints.

The rain this year has been good, and the autumn grain harvest is higher than in previous years. Even if the production is reduced by [-]% to [-]%, the family's granary will be filled, and there will be no worries next year.

Cheng Sanniang saw the newspaper.

She hasn't been able to eat or sleep well these days.

Flood prevention was promoted with great fanfare in the city, but Cheng Sanniang felt restless.

She remembered Yan Xin’s words: The building will collapse.

"Everyone in the military government believes her, why don't I?"

The cost of building a building is not particularly large, and if it is thrown into the water, it is only half a month's net profit for the Tangzi. She, Cheng Sanniang, can afford to lose.

But there will be a lot of expenses that need to be prepared first, and this is the bulk of it.

Do you want to spend this money?

On the sixth day, Cheng Sanniang saw the newspaper saying that all the autumn crops had been harvested, and she finally made up her mind.

Cheng Sanniang found the three partners of the partnership and told them her decision: "I'm going to withdraw my shares. I don't want any of the money I invested before."

The three hall masters were all surprised.

Cheng Sanniang told them truthfully: "The eldest lady of the military government said that the building will collapse in the upcoming storm."

The three hall masters were stunned.

Hall Master Wan said quickly: "Why do you listen to a woman talking nonsense?"

Cheng Sanniang was displeased: "I am also a woman."

Hall Master Wan: "You have to know that this is a sure-profit deal. If you withdraw, we will naturally be happy. But don't regret it in the future."

Cheng Sanniang: "I suggest you leave it for a while..."

"The elevator reservation needs to be snatched. If you place it, you will have to wait a few months for the next time. If you delay it for a few months, you will waste a lot of money." Hall Master Wan said.

"The elevator is so expensive, more expensive than building a five-story building. The deposit alone is worth a lot of money. If the building collapses, where will you install the elevator? There are other expenses..."

"Okay, okay, if you want to quit, just quit. Don't curse the club." Hall Master Wan said.

Hall Master Qin had some thoughts.

He said: "If Sanniang quits, I will quit too."

Hall Master Wan thinks that both of them are mentally ill.

The plan has reached this stage, and we are just waiting to collect the money.

They actually threw the money away.

"I don't want the money I had before. I won't give it out in the future." Hall Master Qin said.

Hall Master Wan wants to persuade. Hall Master Liu, who had been silent for a long time, winked at him and asked him to agree.

The few people separated, Hall Master Qin and Cheng Sanniang left first. The two of them are considered a team, with a close relationship and deep interests.

Hall Master Wan and Hall Master Liu are one body.

"If you say you won't do a business that is sure to make money, then you won't do it. It took two years to prepare, and everything was ready, but suddenly it turned against you." Hall Master Wan was very angry.

Hall Leader Liu advised him: "Some people are not destined to get rich. We don't care about them. Where's the money for the elevator? They're in a hurry over there."

"As agreed before, we will pay half in advance." Hall Master Wan said, "Ask someone to send money to Hong Kong. The elevator will be used next month."

Hall Master Liu said hello.

Hall Master Wan was still quite angry and a little lacking in confidence.

The stall was too big, and he was afraid that he and Hall Master Liu wouldn't be able to run it.

Cheng Sanniang is very good at managing this kind of clubs, and several of them are very profitable. Therefore, Hall Master Wan and Hall Master Liu roped her into their group.

Now that she has quit, her follower Hall Master Qin has also quit, Hall Master Wan is heartbroken.

But Hall Master Liu kept persuading him: "Without Cheng Sanniang, we will still be rich! How many times have we fought through hardships, are we not as good as her?"

Hall Master Wan gritted his teeth: "You are right!"

Sheng Rouzhen is also discussing this matter with her confidant maid.

"If there is such a big fuss, the governor probably won't punish the eldest lady if she can't bear it." The maid said, "After all, the autumn grain has been put into storage."

Sheng Rouzhen's expression was quiet: "Yes."

"Miss, do you think there will be a storm? I heard them talking in the big kitchen, saying that autumn never gets wet," the maid asked again.

Sheng Rouzhen was silent.

The maid was still chattering.

"...There used to be Taoist Priest Xiaoyun. Is he still in Yicheng now?" Sheng Rouzhen asked suddenly.

This talk has no beginning and no end.

The maid is young, but she has also heard of Taoist Master Xiaoyun who was very popular back then.

There was a drought in East China Province, and it was Taoist Master Xiaoyun who prayed for rain.

His Taoist temple is in Yicheng.

"I don't know, I've never seen him out and about in these years," the maid said.

Sheng Rouzhen: "He is a true cultivator of immortality. Naturally, he will not travel around the world often."

"You want to find him?"

"I was wondering, are there any evil spirits in this world?" Sheng Rouzhen said.

The maid understood.

Sheng Rouzhen felt that if Yan Xin was right this time, she might be a monster.

Only a Taoist priest with superb magic can conquer her.

"... Monsters all hide in the mountains and forests, how dare they come to the human world?" the maid said.

She secretly reminded Sheng Rouzhen not to think wildly.

If she makes another mistake, Madam may intensify her punishment or even expel her from the Governor's Mansion.

"Some people are so charming and can confuse people's hearts." Sheng Rouzhen seemed to be saying to herself.

She couldn't understand why Yan Xin was protected by the warlord and his son.

Jing Yuanzhao was arrogant and had vicious eyes, yet he was actually willing to hang out with a woman.

And Governor Jing will cover up for his son.

Even her mother-in-law, the wise wife of the governor, seemed to be blind every time she saw her eldest brother and Yan Xin.

Why?

Without magic, how could Yan Xin predict wind and rain, and how could she enchant people's hearts?

Sheng Rouzhen should go find a Taoist priest and ask about Yan Xin's situation.

She wants to eliminate harm for the Governor's Mansion.

The maid looked at Sheng Rouzhen and felt that her mind was becoming more and more extreme and narrow-minded, even to the point of being suspicious.

Kind of scary.

If Miss Rouzhen continues like this, she may end up dead.

What's the matter with her?

She used to be smart and kind, why did she suddenly become unrecognizable?

Is it because of jealousy?
