As Chi Xinian said, the Luojiang water bandits did too much this time, affecting the people's livelihood, and naturally attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Even the Son of Heaven, who was thousands of miles away, briefly left behind those close battles and focused his eyes on Pingxing.

At this time, it was naturally not appropriate for that group of water bandits to make a big move.

The safest way for them to deal with it should be to hide on the spot, wait until the limelight passes, and then organize and store the money and materials they have plundered.

In this way, if the bandit leader who commanded the bandits' actions had been hiding in the vicinity of Pingxing before, at this moment, there would be a great possibility that he would still be hiding in this vicinity.

Chi Xinian's words made Zhu Xiaohou fall into contemplation again, he seriously thought about Chi Xinian's analysis, and roughly agreed with what she said.

But he still has his own concerns.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Even if everything is as Niangniang said, we still don't know anything about the bandit leader now... Even if we take a picture on the street, we can't tell the difference...

"If you want to capture it, I'm afraid it won't be something that can be done in a while.

"Yes, the lower officials still think that it is not easy to arrest the bandits."

"Of course." This time, Chi Xinian agreed with him.

She bowed her head slightly, and said in a flat tone, "The judgment of this palace can only prove that it is very likely that that person is still hiding near us, but it is not of much use to capture him.

"To capture this man, we need more information.

"Of course, we're not completely ignoring it right now. As long as you secretly plant people and closely monitor the flow of people in and around Heicheng, you may be able to find some clues."

"What does that mean... Shall we hold our ground for now?" Zhu Xiaohou asked tentatively.

"Nature." "We have limited manpower, and we are facing the problem of dealing with the aftermath of the disaster, of course, how easy it is to come.

"Hopefully, you'll be more mindful of finding clues. In this way, we may not have to make too much effort to capture the bandits.

"And as long as this most important person falls into the legal net, most of the things Your Majesty has explained will be completed. When the time comes, the palace will decide on the subsequent clean-up plan depending on the situation.

"If there are still too many things to do for disaster relief, this palace will also write a letter to His Majesty to explain that for the time being, those bandits will be released and disaster relief will be the priority."

"With the queen's mother's words, the lower officials will definitely cooperate." Chi Xinian said that at the moment, Zhu Xiaohou and the others naturally did not deny the possibility of suppressing bandits.

Immediately, a group of people led by Zhu Xiaohou Ye said that they would fully cooperate.

Seeing this, Chi Xinian was not polite.

After comparing the map and arranging a monitoring location for everyone, she told everyone to rest.

The crowd withdrew one after another.

But when Zhu Xiaohou was about to leave, Chi Xinian suddenly spoke up and stopped him: "Zhu Xiaohou, please stay, there are still some questions in this palace, I want to ask for advice alone."

Zhu Ziping stopped, turned around and walked to Chi Xinian: "I don't know what else Niangniang commanded?"

Chi Xinian didn't answer immediately, but first gave Xin Yi a look, and after asking him to go to the door to guard it, she said, "Since I arrived last night, the little marquis has been in Pingcheng for a whole day.

"Come to think of it, you have a rough idea of what is going on here.

"It's because Ihongu wants to ask what you think."
