"Quick! Before dark, the order must be conveyed to every village, and no one will be left behind!"

People who were eating in Xiaohuang Village's restaurant, or passing by on the official road, whether they were villagers or merchants, were all attracted by the sound of horseshoes.

Those were the soldiers stationed in Huahai.

I saw the soldiers changed their usual uniforms into military uniforms, holding swords in their hands.

Either riding a horse, or walking quickly, three or three together, ran past them, leaving only a stirred-up yellow dust.

"What happened, why did you use the knife?"

"I don't know, it's scary..."

The people were so frightened that they gave way and hid under the trees beside the road, watching a group of soldiers passing by them with a murderous look.

Those who didn't know that momentum thought that Jiangnan Town was about to start a war.

However, some people really speculate whether Jiangnan Town is about to start a war.

"I heard that the prince and prince of Xiaoxi Prefecture live in Xiaohuang Village. Could it be that the people of Xiaohuang Village have angered Xiaoxi Prefecture and are going to fight?" A group of passing merchants discussed.

The merchants only heard that the prince and prince of Xiaoxi Prefecture were here, but they had never seen them, and they didn't know whether their relationship with Xiaohuang Village was good or bad, so it was normal to think so.

"Probably not." The other retorted: "Look, the people are heading towards the city. If there is trouble in Xiaohuang Village, what are they going to do in the city?"

"Then what happened, so anxious."

"It doesn't matter what happens to us, we just passed by together, hurry up..."

Not only the people who came and went on the official road saw the menacing soldiers, even the people in Xiaohuang Village were notified.

In Pei's house.

When Zhu Jiangjiang was discussing the rescue of the fire with Wu Jinping and others, he suddenly heard a noise from the village outside the door, mixed with the screams of many villagers who were frightened.

"Listen up. From now on, every household, except for three meals a day, is forbidden to fire at other times, and no lights are allowed at night!"

"If it is found that someone is lighting a fire outside of their own kitchen, or lighting a fire outside the prescribed time, they will be punished with a staff of twenty for each discovery, and a fine of five cents will be fined!"

Pei Ji brought back two soldiers.

When he passed by his house, he went home, leaving only the other two soldiers to go to the village and notify them from door to door.

Everyone in the village was stunned by this sudden regulation.

The villagers ran out of their homes one after another. It was time to make lunch, and some were so frightened that they extinguished the fire in the stove.

"Why are you not allowed to light the fire or light all of a sudden? What's going on?"

"I don't know." The villagers came out of their homes, looked at the backs of the two soldiers who entered the village, and got together to gossip.

"Isn't that the person under Xiaozhao's hands? What happened?"

"Village chief, go ask Xiaozhao what he wants to do."

Xu Laogen was pushed out again, and he was very embarrassed, "I am no longer the village head, don't ask me to go to the old man if you have anything to do."

No matter what the reason is for this incident, it is not a trivial matter from the point of view of Pei Ji's general order.

He didn't dare to take this muddy water.

Xu Laogen didn't dare to go, and the rest of the village didn't even dare to go.

"Forget it, let's go back, don't cause trouble..."

Several villagers were about to go home and stay obediently, reducing their sense of presence, when they saw one of the soldiers in front of them pointing at Xu's family and shouting:

"You, put out the fire in the yard. For the past half month, only use a small fire for cooking, and no big fire is allowed!"

"Huh? You can't even cook with a big fire!"

The villagers who thought this matter would be over soon, felt that this seemed to be a very serious matter when they heard this.

Everyone started to panic.

In the house, Zhu Jiangjiang also heard the shouting in the village.

Seeing Pei Ji coming in, she was the first to speak: "Sir, don't open a fire to cook, and you have to be punished and fined. Is it too exaggerated?"

Once his order is handed down, it will definitely make people panic. Is this really okay?

Moreover, there was no reason for this order. If the common people were allowed to guess at random, what kind of situation might it lead to?

"The old man thinks that General Pei is doing the right thing."

Wu Jinping stood up to speak for Pei Ji, "If the burning of the mountain really affects the people of the whole town, then the imperial court must intervene. A fire ban is inevitable."

Any disaster will have a far-reaching impact on the people of the current Dali Dynasty.

Everyone's food and clothing problems have not been solved, and another fire will make things worse.

Therefore, they must control this hidden danger in advance.

Zhu Jiangjiang has seen a lot of disaster warnings in his previous life, such as high temperature warnings, rainstorm warnings, and earthquake warnings.

In the past, she seldom took these early warnings to heart, but now that it was her turn to issue the early warnings herself, she realized the pressure on the people who made these judgments.

"Mr. Xianggong, Mr. Wu, should we find a reason for the fire ban, or else it will cause panic among the people." Zhu Jiangjiang raised his opinion again.

"But, what excuses can convince the people? You can't just say that this is Miss Zhu's premonition, right?" Xu Gu looked at Zhu Jiangjiang with a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if waiting to see the prophecy come true.

He wanted to see how powerful Zhu Jiangjiang's premonition was!

Xu Gu really explained what it means to watch the fun without thinking it's a big deal.

It wasn't that Xiaoxizhou was on fire, so he wasn't worried, right?

Zhu Jiangjiang knew what Xu Gu meant, so he gave him a blank look and didn't want to pay him any attention.

On the other hand, his uncle Xu You seems to be more responsible.

"Didn't you go to Yulin Temple yesterday? Maybe you can make a fuss from Yulin Temple." Xu You looked at the few people meaningfully and said.

Several people immediately understood what he meant.

He wanted to use the world's belief in Buddhism to tell the people of Jiangnan Town through Yulin Temple that there will be disasters in the future.

"In that case, I have to go to the temple to ask Master Wuci for help." Zhu Jiangjiang had no choice but to agree.

The ancient people believed in this, and it is the best way to ask Master Wuci to come forward.

"I'll send someone to ask Master Abbot to come down from the mountain." Pei Ji just sat down and drank a cup of tea, then got up and went out again.

The source of this matter is his wife, for her, he is willing to run around.

……

Because Zhu Jiangjiang once saved the life of one of their eunuchs, Wuci agreed to her request without saying a word.

Moreover, if what she said about the burning of the mountain was true, then it would be better for him to save a life than to build a seven-level pagoda.

"Abbot Wuci, you have been working hard to meditate and chant scriptures here these two days. I have already told the Yamen that they will take care of your food and daily life in the past few days."

Zhu Jiangjiang asked Wuci to meditate at the gate of the yamen, and spread the news of the fire burning the mountain through worshiping Buddha.

While appeasing the common people, let everyone get to know the master of Yulin Temple again and add incense to Yulin Temple.
