With this in mind, the shopkeeper smiled again.

In the end, he left satisfied.

As everyone knows, even if he exited the guest room, his every move was all under the supervision of Chi Xinian and others.

"Master, the others have left, and after going downstairs, he found a reason to take leave from the shopkeeper, and it seems that he really helped you go to find the show." secretly followed the shopkeeper for a while, in case the guards who had a bad idea came back, and immediately reported what he saw and heard to Chi Xinian.

"Well, let him find it." For the second little shop to make money, Chi Xinian didn't pay too much attention.

After taking a sip of the teacup, she asked what she really cared about: "When you followed along, did you verify what he said by the way?"

"Governor Xu's ability to do things, and the fact that the water bandits only rob officials and not the people, are they all true?"

"Returning to my master, what he said... It's all true. As he nodded, the guard who was questioned couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Obviously, he was also amazed by this.

What kind of enmity does this water bandit on the river have with the Pingxing government? Why, so against them? And judging from the current situation, it seems that only Binh Xing Province has been targeted, and other surrounding state capitals have not heard of such an outrageous thing.

It just so happened that Xin Yi and the three people who went to inquire about the news at this moment also returned to Chi Xinian at this time: "Girl, we have heard a lot of news about the Pingxing flood.

"One of the most valuable ones is the water bandits on the side of Pingxing Mansion, which seems to have formed a bond with the Pingxing government.

"Right now, they're only targeting the government, not the people."

"Oh? Did you hear the news? Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly and squinted, "Tell me what you know, listen carefully." ”

"Yes, girl." With a slight bow, Xin sorted out the news he had just heard and said that he had listened to it with Chi Xinian.

Among them, the establishment of cloth tents and porridge sheds by the Xu Governor's Mansion, as well as the water bandits' targeting of the Pingxing Mansion, are not much different from what Dian Xiaoer said.

It's just that the news that Xin Yi found out is more specific.

For example, in solving the problem of displaced people, Xu Zhifu took the opportunity to take advantage of the government because he was worried that someone at home would fish in troubled waters, which caused the government to be unable to support it in advance.

Therefore, it was stipulated that all the people who were making porridge in the porridge shed could drink it for nothing on the first day, but on the second day they had to go to work with the river embankment maintenance team organized by the officers and soldiers.

People have to work before they can have porridge to drink.

In this way, it not only avoided some people from fishing in troubled waters, but also organized manpower as quickly as possible, plugged the gap, and reduced the possibility of secondary floods.

But although Governor Xu's method was good, it couldn't last long.

The news that there is not much grain left in the granary of the Pingxing government has come out yesterday.

If the disaster relief funds and relief food allocated by the imperial court cannot arrive on time, let alone the relief of the surrounding county towns and towns that are in serious distress, even Pingcheng will probably fall into a difficult situation.

And because the water bandits targeted the government, most people were pessimistic about whether the relief food given by the imperial court could safely reach Pingcheng and then be distributed to the disaster areas in Pingxingfu.

Many people believe that without the protection of a large number of sailors, the materials for disaster relief are likely to fall into the hands of the enemy again.

"Girl, the maid inquired, this Pingxing official mansion is not an opponent of the water bandits. If the bandits really have an idea, I'm afraid..."
