By the time the people below spoke again, it was already time for Governor Xu to finish processing all the official documents.

His countenance was more tired than before.

Rubbing her sore wrist and moving her neck again, she stretched her waist and slowly got up on the edge of the table: "It's finally finished, so when the envoys sent from Kyoto arrive in Pingxing, I can also give them an explanation..."

"Sir, you have been conscientious in dealing with flood disasters, even if Your Majesty came to investigate it personally, you can't find any fault." The housekeeper followed behind Xu Ruxuan and bowed his head.

"It's just..."After a pause, he showed a little embarrassed look again, "You haven't reported the matter of this water bandit to the imperial court, how do you answer when the minister comes to ask?"

"Can't we say we deliberately concealed it, right?"

The housekeeper seemed to have inadvertently mentioned a key point, whether it was Xu Ruxuan, who was walking in front of him, or Chi Xinian and Xinyi, who were secretly lurking on the roof, they all subconsciously tensed their bodies at this moment.

Chi Xinian and the two looked at Xu Ruxuan, and they seemed to react as soon as they wanted to, and they could get a glimpse of his true thoughts in his heart.

But they were disappointed.

After pausing for a moment, Xu Ruxuan returned to normal, maintaining the same pace as Fang Cai, and slowly paced towards the door.

As he walked, he said in a calm tone: "If the minister asks about the water bandits, he will naturally report to him according to the matter.

"We didn't mean to hide it, but we suspected that someone was manipulating behind it, and we were afraid that the disaster fold handed over would not reach Your Majesty on time, so we made this decision and concealed this matter.

"There is indeed something inappropriate in this way, and if Your Majesty wants to punish him, this official will also understand.

"But this official believes that with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely understand this official."

"It would be nice if Your Majesty could really understand, but..." The butler's expression changed several times, and in the end, he still couldn't say the worst.

Water bandits are ravaging such a big thing, but they don't report it?

Can Your Majesty really understand such a serious sin?

But things have come to this point, and it is useless to think about anything else.

After Xu Ruxuan and the others reached this point, they didn't say anything more.

It was a heavy heart, and they were almost out of breath, so they had no intention of analyzing the coming punishment.

"They seem to have stopped." Xin Yi looked at the two small rooms on the other side of the study with the candles extinguished, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, do we still want to continue to monitor?" Or, go home first? ”

"Look again." Chi Xinian's toes lightly touched the eaves tiles, and the person fell like a kite on the roof of Xu Ruxuan's residence.

Although the lights in the room below had been extinguished, the sound of the noise coming from inside indicated that the people in the room had not yet fallen asleep.

This is strange, what is there in this Xu Governor's Mansion that can't be done with a lamp?

A person of his age, in a dark and blind environment, does things secretly, and is not afraid of bumping into it for a long time?

Chi Xinian was suspicious, but because there was no light below, she couldn't see anything in the dark environment. I could only see what was written by the blurred figure by the window by the faint moonlight.

"Forget it, let's go back." Chi Xinian pursed his lips and carefully closed the roof tiles.
