Chapter 520: Only for the Imperial Court
Probably the group of people who have been identified by Chi Xinian as businessmen on the rivers and lakes, when the shopkeeper mentioned the disaster relief grain, he lowered his voice again, and whispered to Chi Xinian: "Besides, this disaster relief grain is on the waterway!"
"Even if there are elite soldiers from the imperial court to help escort us, it's hard to say how much will be left when we arrive in our Pingcheng.
"Girl, you are from the rivers and lakes, right? When you walk the rivers and lakes, you must have heard of this river bandit, right? This group of people is somehow going on this year, and they are on the same page as our Pingxing government.
"They robbed the money that the government maintained the embankment, and they also robbed the materials allocated by the government to various places for disaster relief.
"This good city has come to this point because of these bandits!
"It's just that they're still very powerful, and the court bandit team can't do anything about them...
"I don't know what the imperial court thinks, disaster relief only sends supplies, but does not transfer water divisions... Isn't this a way to put the boiled duck in someone's mouth?
"Well, in my opinion, this matter will continue for a long time..."
"Oh? Water bandits? Chi Xinian just wanted to explore the interest network behind the grain price, but he didn't think about it, but he accidentally heard the news of the water bandits.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "In this Pingxing Mansion, is there still a matter of water bandits robbing the imperial court's materials?" When did the bandits become so bold?
"And listen to what you say, these bandits are still powerful masters, and even the local government can't suppress them. So... How dare businessmen from other places come here to make profits? Aren't they afraid of being robbed?
"I also helped escort two caravans when I came, and I saw that the people accompanying them were also average..."
Chi Xinian's words made the shopkeeper more sure that this girl was going to the rivers and lakes.
Yes, when he talked about the situation, he didn't have too many scruples: "Girl, you are not in Pingxing, and you don't understand the strange situation here."
"Somehow, that gang of bandits seemed to be on a par with the imperial court. They didn't even look at the goods of ordinary merchants, and just stared at the silver money and materials transported by the imperial court.
"So, it's no surprise that you and the caravan didn't meet them. But the materials of the imperial court were... Alas..."
The shopkeeper sighed several times before he shook his head and said: "The affairs of the imperial court, it is useless for us ordinary people to worry about it, so I hope that the prefect can still have a way to protect us."
"However, the price of this grain is estimated to not be able to come down for a while.
"So, you don't have to worry about the small ones not being able to find the good ones."
"There is such a bizarre thing..."Chi Xinian was also amazed, "Okay, since you said so, I will also believe you."
"In short, things are well done, and this girl has a reward alone. But if you dare to lie to me..."
Chi Xinian's palm gently stroked the knife hanging from his waist, and said coldly: "You should be able to think of the consequences." We Jianghu people always have a clear distinction between right and wrong. ”
"Yes, yes...", the shopkeeper said yes again and again.
After reassuring Chi Xinian a few more words, he cautiously retreated.
"Whew..."Covering the door of the guest room, the shopkeeper couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Although he was facing a girl who was not too old, he still felt weak when the other party inadvertently showed momentum.
Dealing with such people is really physically and mentally exhausting...
But it's okay...
He touched the large piece of silver in his arms - high risk always has high reward, and if this matter is done well, their family may be able to survive this catastrophe!
