"You ask me where the leader is?" As if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhu Xiaohou's words, the next moment he raised the question, he drew a small circle on the map with the tip of his knife, "The leader is of course in Pingcheng." ”

"In the vicinity of Heijo?" Zhu Xiaohou was stunned, "How did the queen mother come to this conclusion?" ”

After a pause, he glanced at Chi Xinian deeply: "Do you think that Pingcheng is the leading city of Pingxing Mansion, and that the head of the bandits must be around here?" ”

"It's just one of many reasons." Chi Xinian did not deny Zhu Xiaohou's casual speculation, but nodded in agreement, "First of all, the water bandits' action this time seems to have been planned for a long time, but in fact, their time is very limited.

"From the imperial court appropriation to Pingcheng, and then to Pingcheng to send this money to various places in batches, in between, it will take ten days to complete the money.

"In such a short period of time, it is naturally impossible for them to set up ambushes one by one, and they must monitor most of the routes at the same time in order to commit multiple crimes.

"In this way, the person in charge of the command must stay in a place where he can take care of most of the situation of the line at the same time. In this way, it is convenient for him to command behind the back.

"When we circle all the crime sites, we will find that there are only three places suitable for the commander to hide."

The tips of Chi Xinian's knives were a little bit next to each other in the three places, and she continued: "And in these three places, one of them has a gentle terrain and is difficult to hide, and it is not a good hiding place, so it can almost be ruled out."

"As for the remaining two... Heijo and this mountain, if it were me, I would definitely choose Heijo.

"With its convenient transportation and large population, Pingcheng can do it perfectly, whether it is hiding for surveillance or supporting deployment. Secondly, it is also the center of the whole Pingxing, including the Pingxing Yamen.

"If you want to monitor the movements of the government while arranging scheduling, Pingcheng is definitely the best choice.

"Therefore, this palace believes that the leader of the bandits must have been hiding near Heicheng at the time of the incident. Even, maybe people are in Heicheng! ”

What Chi Xinian said was reasonable, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Xiaohou also felt that the situation at that time should be as Chi Xinian said.

It's just that...

"It was then, and now it is now, how do you know that after the fact, this man did not run away?" Zhu Xiaohou frowned, "What if they feel successful and have already withdrawn?"

"This time, the new supplies sent by the imperial court have not been looted, and it is very important that the guests can because they have already evacuated.

"If that's the case..."

"If it's what you say, there's nothing we can do. However, I do think that they did not evacuate. The lack of clarity this time is just a means for them to confuse us. Chi Xinian lightly took Zhu Xiaohou's words.

"Why does the mother think so?" Zhu Xiaohou didn't understand.

"Because they haven't sold the stolen goods yet." Chi Xinian said with a smile, "Don't forget, little marquis, what they robbed was not only the silver of the white flowers, but also the materials given by the imperial court to various places.

"These things can't be easily transferred.

"Now that the imperial court has been eyeing Pingxing, and the Qincha has also arrived in Pingxing, if they really want to survive this catastrophe peacefully, they will choose to hide in place to avoid the limelight, instead of running around with silver and supplies at this time."
