Shui Qingtian pointed at Tao Ziyun, Huang Mosyu and Yuyuan in the lost city and shouted, "They are the ones who dug up the well water!"

The officers and soldiers who arrived were Li Zhihai, the governor of Lingbei Prefecture, Guo Cechai, the magistrate, Feng Shengshi, the magistrate, and their subordinates. As soon as they saw that the person identified by Shui Qingtian was Tao Ziyun, under the greeting of Guo Ce and Feng Shengshi, the officers and soldiers "fluttered" at Tao Ziyun and bowed down: "Meet Master Tao!"

Seeing that Li Shihai was also going to bow down to Tao Ziyun, Tao Ziyun hurriedly stepped forward and held Li Shihai up: "Lord Li, I can't help it!"

The local people around Tao Ziyun, seeing this situation, first looked at each other, and later bowed down to Tao Ziyun under the mention of Liu Shan.

Feng Shengshi knelt in front of Tao Ziyun and pleaded: "Xia Guan didn't know that Lord Tao was coming, and the report he got was that the Jiangnan Provincial Supervision Imperial History was going to come to this county, so Xia Guan hurriedly took a sedan chair back to the county office, and met Lord Li on the road, only to know that the Supervision Imperial History who came over was Lord Tao, and he had already come to Loquat Pass, so Xia Guan followed Lord Li back." Please Lord Tao to deal with the sin of negligence of the officials!"

Tao Ziyun, who was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, naturally did not want to accept the warm reception of these magistrates and ordinary people, and he greeted the officers and soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground: "Get up!"

The officers and soldiers were still hesitating, and Li Zhizhou added to them: "Master Tao told you to get up, so you should get up!"

The local people stood up with the officers and soldiers, and Liu Shan invited Tao Ziyun into the village to rest, wanting to entertain him as much as possible.

"There is no need to rush back and see what these officers and soldiers have to say. Tao Ziyun did not immediately accept Liu Shan's invitation.

Shui Qingtian had been standing in the crowd, Tao Ziyun ignored her reaction, but she was not willing to stay out of the matter, she asked Tao Ziyun curiously: "What are you doing, is it necessary to make such a fuss about you?"

Without waiting for Tao Ziyun to answer, Li Zhizhou scolded Shui Qingtian and said: "Presumptuous! Hugh has to be rude to Master Tao! Didn't you hear what Feng Zhixian just said! He is the governor of Jiangnan Province and the governor of the province in Jiangnan must respect him for nine points and must be supervised by him! Not to mention us governors, counties and ordinary people!"

Tao Ziyun didn't get angry with Shui Qingtian, but just asked her: "Shui girl, Shui Qingtian." Why are you here?

Shui Qingtian replied calmly: "After these officers and soldiers arrived, they asked those villagers and me about Lord Tao, and those people said that they had not seen any officials and adults. This Lord Li said that it was a man dressed in the clothes of the common people, and that three adults and two children came together, so I knew that they were talking about the five of you. Because I am a goddess, I decided that you had come here, and I felt that these officers and soldiers who had just arrived had no ill will towards me, so I brought them here. As for the villagers, they are busy bringing water to the rice fields there for irrigation. I didn't come over. ”

"Don't be verbose, let's go to the yamen! Master Tao, please!" Li Xuehai made a gesture of invitation to Tao Ziyun.

Tao Ziyun stood still, and he asked Li Xuehai and said: "Didn't you come with officers and soldiers to arrest these people? I heard that because the spring water was cut off, it triggered the idea of someone taking the opportunity to buy land at a cheap price, which caused a fight, and even the officers and soldiers who came to mediate were injured, so you want to arrest these people who participated in the group beating as a means to end this matter?"

Li Zhizhou explained to Tao Ziyun: "The person who directly handled this matter is Feng Zhixian. I don't know. I received a report from the provincial capital, and when I saw that it was Lord Tao who had come to inquire about this matter, I brought a group of officers and soldiers to hurry over on fast horses. After passing through the county seat, we did not go in to rest. I just sent a fast horse to report the report to the county yamen, so that the county government could do a good job of receiving it. Then we went to your house, and at first your family refused to tell me about you. Later, they couldn't resist me to impress them with my son-in-law, daughter, and niece's friendship with some of them. Then someone told me about your situation, and we turned to this side. On the way, he met Feng Zhixian, who was returning to the county government in a sedan chair, exchanged opinions, and then he turned back. ”

So Tao Ziyun turned to ask Feng Zhixian: "How did you deal with it?"

I heard a report from the officers and soldiers, saying that there was a document from the top and sent it to the county office. On the way back to the county office, I met Lord Li, I heard that it was Lord Tao that you came to deal with this matter, and you have already come here directly, of course I have to turn back. On the way back, I met another officer and soldier riding a donkey to report to me, saying that someone had dug up the spring there, dug out the water, and dug out a beautiful woman. We don't dare to take the water girl. Feng Zhixian finished answering, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

"Haha, it was Wu Qizhong who asked him to send you a message, he didn't want to mention my name, he would be uncomfortable seeing and hearing my name, so he wouldn't let the person who sent the message tell you my name, Feng Zhixian, of course you don't know that the person who came over is me. Ha ha. Tao Ziyun smiled lightly, and asked Feng Zhixian sternly: "Feng Zhixian, in the face of the broken flow of the loquat pass spring, why didn't you deal with it as soon as possible? As you can see, if you dig into the spring in time and dig it out, as my family and I did, after the spring water is cut off, you won't cause so much trouble!"

Feng Zhixian "fluttered" and knelt down in front of Tao Ziyun again: "Master Tao forgives us! We don't dare to dig the spring there! We don't know about nature, we are afraid of nature, we have a sense of reverence for the spring well, and we don't dare to dig the sacred spring well for fear of offending the gods." Under the drought weather, the spring water was cut off again, so I invited someone to ask the Taoist aunt of the Zhongji Palace to set up an altar in the courtyard of the county government to cast a spell, praying for rain from heaven, for so long, what I begged for was only a light rain, and no heavy rain could not solve the problem, but I have tried my best! Lord Tao must forgive the lower officials!"

Tao Ziyun did not immediately assert Feng Zhixian's approach, but asked Feng Zhixian curiously: "Ask someone to ask for rain? In the past, when the local government invited people to do things related to Taoism, didn't they all ask the head of the Wind Controlling Dao? Why did you invite Dao Gu this time?"

Feng Zhixian's heart was in turmoil, and he tried his best to defend himself: "Master Tao, in fact, the lower official sent someone to invite the head of the Wind Control Dao, but he replied that he was busy preparing to travel to the west to preach, and the Dao Gu of the Zhongji Palace once complained that he had robbed them of the business of the Zhongji Palace, so he asked the Xia Guan to ask the Dao Gu of the Zhongji Palace to ask for rain instead. Xia Guan thought about it, if there is a shortage of water today, women are made of water, and men are made of clay, and it is even more reasonable to ask a female Taoist priest made of water to ask for rain, so with this reason, he invited the Taoist aunt of Zhongji Palace to cast spells and ask for rain. ”

"Then what are you going to do now?" Tao Ziyun asked Feng Zhixian coldly.

"If you can't ask for rain, it's because Aunt Dao is ineffective in handling things, and it's because the officials are ineffective. The disaster caused by the lack of water had to be borne by the lower officials, and they did not dare to hold the people here accountable. Feng Zhixian replied as a matter of course, and as a result, he was sweating!

Tao Ziyun bluntly asked Feng Zhixian: "Finally brought out your self-knowledge, so how can you bear the responsibility for this dereliction of duty?"

Feng Zhixian sat down on the ground and couldn't answer anything anymore!(To be continued......)
