"Other counties have also encountered water bandits? Is the situation consistent with Qi County?! Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's pretty much the same." Chu Qi was not particularly clear about the situation in other counties, so when he narrated the first scene with Yan, he could only roughly integrate and relay the rumors he heard.

But even so, what she said is enough to make people feel frightened.

Qi County is not the only county that has been robbed by water bandits.

As far as Chu Qi knew, there were three county towns within their state, and they had encountered the same situation. And there are two of them, both of which are places that the bandits once did not like to visit.

Caught off guard, the officers and soldiers suffered a crushing defeat.

Even if you organize people to fight back, you will eventually return home.

"It seems that there is really someone behind this matter." If it was just a guess just now, then at this moment, Chi Xinian affirmed his guess.

"But what is the purpose of these things?" Yan Chujing couldn't understand, who would be so bored and organize bandits to rob the official silver for disaster prevention?

Figure money?

Not really...

If it's just money, you can buy other money, because the construction of this river embankment is a matter of everyone's livelihood.

Even if they are bandits, they don't want to see the flood wash away the county and make them have nowhere to make money in the coming year, right?

Moreover, the occurrence of floods has affected people's livelihood, and the imperial court will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Because the imperial court needs to give an explanation to the common people, it will definitely bite them tightly.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to find it out for them.

Under such pressure, why should they take risks for the sake of this bit of silver?

The silver they couldn't look at in previous years, but they can look at it this year?

Countless strange points are presented, and Chi Xinian and Yan Chujing have also taken into account more problems.

After the two of them summed it up, they asked Chu Qi again: "Does Aunt Chu know anything else?" Like what... Can local officials report this matter to the authorities? ”

"It's... The affairs between the gentlemen are not clear to the women. Chu Qi shook his head, "But I think, the officials shouldn't dare to hide such a big thing, right?" As far as I know, the county order of Qixian County was sent to Shangguan. ”

Relying on the Chu family's great business in Qi County, she can find out many things in Qi County. But elsewhere, she didn't know.

couldn't get an answer from her mouth, and Yan Chujing and the others were not disappointed.

They probably also understand that it is impossible to expect a small ordinary person to make this kind of thing clear. And they, as long as they have this clue, can send someone to investigate it later.

Thinking of this, Yan Chujing and the others were about to give up and continue to ask.

But at this time, Chu Qi, who was carefully thinking about all kinds of clues, spoke up again: "There is another strange thing, I don't know if it is something that you two want to hear." ”

"Oh? Aunt Chu, please speak. Chi Xinian nodded slightly, signaling to her but said it was okay.

Chu Qi frowned, and then said: "In fact, after the defeat of the first organization to suppress bandits, our county commander was very afraid. You know, the bandits are all the most vicious.

"Since we have a feud, how can we be easily let go?

"But... After a few days of tossing and turning, the matter miraculously passed. Those bandits don't seem to want to take revenge on us.

"At that time, we only thought that they were disdainful, or that the bandits did not want to fight on land.

"But in hindsight, it's still a little strange..."
