Chapter 526: No More Looting
After giving Xin Yi a look, the two of them turned over and jumped into the shadows that the moonlight could not shine on, and quietly left the Pingxing Mansion.
…
Back at the inn, Chi Xinian took up the pen and briefly described what he had seen and heard today into a letter.
Although the fog has not yet been lifted, she still believes that it is necessary to inform Yan Chujing of these situations. Especially what Governor Xu said to his housekeeper today - he had no intention of concealing the matter of the water bandits, but he was worried that someone would manipulate him behind his back, so he boldly concealed it.
At first glance, this sounded fine, and it even matched her and Yan Chujing's initial analysis.
At first, Yan Chujing and her analyzed that well-trained bandits could loot the imperial court's materials so easily, on the one hand, because someone was in command behind the scenes, and on the other hand, they might have internal connections in the official palace.
In this way, Xu Zhifu looked forward and backward, and there seemed to be no problem.
But after thinking about it, Chi Xinian felt strange again. The prefect of this prefecture is an official of the fourth grade, and he has the right to directly hand over the excerpt to the emperor.
At the beginning, the book about the flood was handed directly to Yan Chujing, and it didn't pass the layers of screening at all...
So what is Governor Xu afraid of?
Could it be that the ability of the people behind the scenes is so great that they can directly do something to those who can reach the heavens? Could it be that this matter is really related to Xue Qin?
Chi Xinian's thoughts were full of thoughts, and finally he simply listed the things he heard and the points that he felt strange in his heart.
Things are getting more and more weird, Yan Chujing is thousands of miles away, and the news is not as well-informed as her, she must not let go of any detail that will help him.
If it was really Xue Qin who did such a show behind his back, he should also be mentally prepared in advance.
After reading the written letter again and confirming that there were no problems, Chi Xinian immediately sealed the letter and handed it out by the method of flying eagle transmission.
Watching the eagle fly into the night, Chi Xinian, who was standing against the window, couldn't help but sigh softly.
The night before dawn is darkest.
I just hope that her trip can clear the fog as soon as possible and see the dawn of dawn.
…
In the next two or three days, Chi Xinian and others walked around Pingcheng and its surrounding counties and towns.
On the one hand, it is to record the real situation of the flood disaster to prevent the details in the excerpts reported by the Governor Xu, and on the other hand, it is to find the people who have seen the water bandits and learn about the water bandits from their mouths.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner in Chi Xinian's arrangement, and she also had a lot of understanding about the water bandits on the Naluo River.
And during this period, there was also a rather interesting thing - the materials for disaster relief by the imperial court were not looted again, and with emergency food, the lives of the displaced people and the common people were really better.
Only the shopkeeper was trembling when he told Chi Xinian of this news that was completely different from what he expected.
I'm afraid that this group of Jianghu guests who walk the rivers and lakes will be unreasonable, and they will directly slaughter him with knives in their hands.
After all, he swore to tell him the story of the water bandits staring at the government.
It is not possible to kill people in the pond, but all the disaster relief materials have arrived safely, and she is very happy when they reach the people in need.
It's just that after glancing at the trembling person, she still pretended to be deep and said, "Didn't you say that the water bandits were eyeing the official robbery?" Why hasn't there been any movement again? Are you lying to me? ”
