Chapter 558: Who Is He?
"It's a little difficult, and it's not suitable for big moves." Both sides knew what they knew, and Chi Xinian did not hide it.
She only said lightly, "So, I wasn't going to make any big moves."
"The water bandits that can lurk in the river system are really... That's a lot." Xu Ruxuan frowned, his face was not very good-looking, "In the past, the few prefectures that were connected with the Luojiang River system did not have a plan to suppress bandits.
"But the other party is too cunning, they are numerous, and they are familiar with the terrain, it's a big deal, they can drill into the mountains.
"In this case, although the government also exterminated some of the bandits, it never hurt their roots. In a few months, they will be back again.
"So in the years that followed, the government gradually gave up the idea of completely exterminating them. It's just that all kinds of sentry posts have been set up in important parts of the canal, and sailors have been stationed to prevent them from doing evil under the nose of the government."
"I know all of that." Chi Xinian bowed slightly, and his expression didn't change much, "So this time, I don't plan to worry about those little Luo Luo.
"I only want the leader to ask about the sin of plundering the government, which is one thing. On the other hand, I still hope that I can control this witness and pry something useful out of his mouth."
"Niangniang wants to touch the melon along the vine?" Xu Ruxuan roughly understood what Chi Xinian meant.
It seems that the purpose of this bandit is not simply to kill a few bandits. More importantly, she wants to follow the line of the water bandits and investigate the purpose of attracting the attention of the court by the mastermind behind the scenes.
If that was the case, he agreed to the suppression of bandits.
It's just that...
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If you can really touch the melon, is Niangniang sure that he will reveal the truth?"
"I don't dare to boast about being ten percent sure, but seven or eight points should still be there." Chi Xinian smiled, "After all, in the past few years, I have seen all kinds of undercover spies. I still have a little bit of interrogation skills."
After the words fell, Chi Xinian glanced at the people around him again: "If Governor Xu thinks that this number sounds okay, why don't you talk to me, who has been staring at you?"
"He's... Which officer is you with you today?"
"He... He's not an official." After only a moment of hesitation, Xu Ruxuan made up his mind and told Chi Xinian the truth.
Now, he has no other way but to pin his hopes on the queen.
Hopefully, this one will solve the problem.
Xu Ruxuan lowered his voice and spoke, but before he could say the second half, Chi Xinian suddenly pressed his shoulder and whispered, "Don't talk yet!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Ruxuan was so frightened by her sudden serious expression that he didn't dare to speak out, but only dared to ask with his mouth.
After the past two days of contact, Chi Xinian has always maintained a calm and wise image in his eyes. There is no gaffe like Fang Cai's.
Don't...
"Someone is coming, I'll hide it first." Chi Xinian quickly replied to Xu Ruxuan with his mouth, then propped up the stone bench and floated into the flowers behind him.
She moved very lightly and did not make any sound.
And after landing, she immediately restrained her breath and perfectly hid in the silent night.
This...
Xu Ruxuan turned around to look at the person who had completely disappeared into the flowers and merged with the darkness, and then looked around and looked elsewhere, and couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on his face.
Is anyone coming? Where?
