Considering the consequences, no matter how many doubts Rao had in his heart, Chi Xinian could only force himself to hold back his impulse and squat quietly in place.

That is, while she was thinking, one of the two who were silent finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Seeing that Xu Ruxuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Steward Huo finally spoke again: "My lord, it seems that something is wrong with your state today. Is it because, on the side of the canal during the day, did the queen mother and the little marquis of the Zhu family say something to you?"

"What can they say? It's nothing more than asking about the water bandits..."Suddenly pointed out that there was something on his mind, Xu Ruxuan's eyelids jumped at first, and then quickly forced himself to calm down.

He raised his eyes and glanced lightly at the person in front of him: "Didn't I mention this matter to you in the study just now?" This time Pingxing suffered heavy losses, and His Majesty was furious, and said that he would give the initiator a little color.

"He sent the most trusted and brave queen around him, and he was determined to wipe out the bandits. new

"If the queen wants to suppress the bandits, she naturally has to find out the situation of the water bandits. And this kind of thing is the most suitable thing to find me, the prefect of Pingxing. Not to mention, I also concealed the news about the bandits...

"She and Zhu Xiaohou are still a little suspicious of my relationship with the water bandits, so naturally they found me as soon as possible."

"So, they took you aside again today and questioned you alone?" Steward Huo frowned slightly.

"Yes." Xu Ruxuan and Steward Huo looked at each other, their eyes unwavering, "They think that I am a good talent and suitable to be an official, but they suspect that I have a connection with the water bandits and have gone astray. Therefore, they specially called me to the canal, asked me to look at the canal on which the people of Pingxing depended, and then explained the truth to them.

"They even promised me that if I could atone for my crimes, they could intercede for me before His Majesty."

"Oh? What do you think?" The queen helped to intercede... That's a big temptation.

I heard that Jinsheng admired and favored his queen infinitely, and even refused Beiyan's request for marriage for her sake.

If she pleads, plus Governor Xu's own ability is indeed enough... Your Majesty may really be light. Even, just mean to punish, not to move the position, maybe?

"What do you think?" Xu Ruxuan chuckled, and glanced at the person looking at him opposite, "No, what should the official think?"

"What do you mean...?" The housekeeper squinted, as if he realized what Xu Ruxuan was going to say.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Xu Ruxuan said on his back foot: "This official has never colluded with the bandits, and he has never reported the reason for the bandits' rebellion, and he has explained it when he first met the little marquis.

"It's their business to have doubts, but no matter how much they ask, there's only one answer."

Hearing this, Steward Huo did not immediately talk.

After looking at Xu Ruxuan for a while, he slowly bowed his head: "What the adults said is true, there is no matter, naturally there is no way to explain it.

"It's just that I've been misunderstood, and it's not a problem. If you have the chance, you might as well prove your loyalty to the court to those two.

"As for the bandits... Don't always think about the situation. You have to think about it, if a good official like you loses his official position, and the seat is given to someone else who is not as good as you, will it be beneficial to the people?

"The queen must do this, and you will cooperate with her."
