Chapter 25 People’s Resistance

"Princess, I will make the people obey and hide in a safe place."

Dan Ningning looked at the time and said, "Princess, please tell the county magistrate to gather all the people together. We will go there and have a look later."

Dan Ningning asked the guards to call Qin Tianjian over. Only with Qin Tianjian's presence would he be more convincing and the people would believe that there would be a heavy rain.

After the magistrate arranged everything, Dan Ningning and Princess Changle came to the middle of the people. She found that the people only came here because of the majesty of the magistrate. She sighed softly.

She walked to Qin Tianjian's side and said, "Master Lu, it will rain in a quarter of an hour."

Qin Tianjian glanced at the sky and found that the blue sky and white clouds showed no signs of rain, "Ning Ning, are you sure?"

Dan Ningning nodded firmly, "It's okay to waste some merit for the sake of the people. If the people hide away, the merit spent will come back." 】

[It’s just that this time the merit has been consumed a bit too much. I can’t consume it casually in the future, as it will harm my body! 】

Princess Changle looked at Tan Ningning with some worry. When she saw that she was fine, she turned around and joined the team that persuaded Qin Tianjian, "Consort, you believe Ning Ning, what she said must be true. You forgot the last time I went to bed." What’s the matter with the rain?”

Only then did Qin Tianjian remember what happened last time, and finally nodded.

When Qin Tianjian asked the people to hide in the mountains quickly, the people refused, so he could only make a bet with the people, "Fellow folks, I know you won't believe what I say, how about we make a bet, as long as I won, then just listen to me."

Not only the people didn't believe it, but even the county magistrate didn't believe it. But because Qin Tianjian and Princess Changle were there, they had no choice but to say nothing.

"Who are you? Do you think you are God? Will it rain when you say it will rain?"

"I'm Qin Tianjian. You don't have to believe me. Let's wait and see if it rains. If it does, you'll know whether what I said is true." Qin Tianjian replied calmly.

The county magistrate saw that the people did not know the identity of Qin Tianjian, so he could only stand up and prove that he was Qin Tianjian.

The prince, the second prince and Princess Changle are all here. Can Qin Tian Jian be fake? Besides, what they say is very likely to be true. If it is really going to rain heavily, then it is very likely that it will really happen. Destroyed people's homes and even their lives.

When the magistrate thought of this, his face became not very good. Seeing Qin Tianjian being so determined, he became increasingly uneasy. "Fellows, I believe what Mr. Qin Tianjian said. If it really rains later, it will rain today." We need to find a safe place and don’t lose our lives just because of impulse.”

When the people saw that the magistrate had said this, they became quiet, and their faces still showed the belief that it would not rain.

Nearly a moment later, the sky was still blue and white clouds, and the people began to get restless, "Magistrate, there is no intention of raining at all. We still have farm work to do, and we can't waste so much time here."

"It's just that it hasn't rained much in the past few years, and the harvest is very low. If we don't work, we won't have anything to eat at home."

"Let's go back, it won't rain."

One or two people were about to turn around and go back, followed by many people who wanted to go back, but Dan Ningning just stared at them and ignored them at all.

Dan Ningning glanced at the sky, then smiled. She pointed at the sky behind her back, and immediately heard God roaring.

When the people saw this, they stopped and looked at God in disbelief, "Is it really going to rain?"

When the people saw the sky was covered with dark clouds, they jumped up happily, "It's raining, the crops are alive, and we can have food to eat."

It has hardly rained in the past few years, and the people have not been able to eat. If it does not rain, the people will starve to death.

The people kept jumping on the ground with smiles on their faces. This was the rain they had been waiting for. “It’s raining, it’s raining so much!”

Dan Ningning looked at the happy expressions of the people, and felt a lot happy in her heart, [If my cultivation level hadn't been blocked, I could have prevented it from raining so heavily. The heavy rain in two days would have ruined many people's lives. Home. 】

[God, if my cultivation had not been blocked, I would definitely go up and beat you. The people in Peiping are so nice, why do you treat them like this? 】

Tan Ningning looked at the sky, and then she saw light rain, and she slowly took her hand back.

At this time, Qin Tianjian finally believed what Dan Ningning said, "Everyone, we asked you to come here today because we want you all to hide in the mountains for a few days, just five days."

[It has been raining for three days, and there are still two days to wait for the rain to recede, but by then many people's houses will be gone. 】

Dan Ningning glanced at God gently, "Do I really want to use all my merits to compete with God?" 】

Dan Ningning was very confused whether to do this or not.

[Even if I block all the merits, I can't save all the people's houses. 】

When the county magistrate saw that it was really raining, he also began to persuade the people to go back and ask their families to go to the mountains to take shelter from the rain.

The magistrate was not very willing to see the people. They had old people and children at home. If it really rained, there would be no caves for them to take shelter.

"Sir, we just need to prevent some people who live in the upper class and on higher ground from hiding in their homes."

Tan Ningning frowned. It rained heavily for three days. Can their house hold up?
  Dan Ningning shook her head. She didn't have much confidence that she could protect the people.

Qin Tianjian directly refused, "For the safety of our lives, we should hide in the mountains."

"Magistrate, sir, is it really going to rain so heavily in Beiping? We have old people and children at home. Are there so many caves in the mountains to accommodate us?"

"Sir, we don't want to move either. Our house can withstand the rain."

When Dan Ningning heard this, she became angry and stood up directly, "Have you ever thought that if you really lose your life because of this, is it really worth it?"

"Because there is going to be a heavy rain in Beiping, the prince, the second prince and Princess Changle are all here. The emperor attaches great importance to it. If you disobey and really lose your life, then what is the point of us coming here?"

"It's okay if you lose your life, but have you ever thought about your family? Do they really want to lose their lives too?"

Tan Ningning's words moved some people, and the strings in their hearts relaxed half a bit.

"If God rains and destroys our home, what's the use of us being able to escape? The crops are gone, our home is gone, how can we survive?"

Qin Tianjian stood up and said, "Folks, don't worry, the imperial court has allocated more than 200,000 taels, and the imperial court will not leave you alone."

The people breathed a sigh of relief and said they would consider it carefully.

Seeing that the people were not very willing, Dan Ningning continued: "I know you don't really believe that God will really rain such a heavy rain, but can we take chances? What if it is true?"

"Can you really take responsibility?"
