Gu Tiannan hurriedly looked at Tao Yan, because he didn't know how to answer Su Xuan's question.

Tao Yan said: "They are more likely to rob the merchants of the past, and robbing the merchants once is more abundant than the harvest of entering the city."

Su Xuan continued to pace in the lobby.

"Since there are passing merchants who have been plundered by bandits, is there no one to report to the official?" Su Xuan asked.

"Yes, but the bandits are far away from the mountains and forests, and the officers and soldiers of Baizhou Mansion are pitiful, so they really can't exterminate the bandits." Gu Tiannan took the words and replied.

"How many bandits are there?" Su Xuan asked again.

"I don't know." Gu Tiannan replied.

"Huh."

Su Xuan sneered twice.

"I don't know, how did you become a parent official in this place?" Su Xuan said coldly.

"The lower officials did send officers and soldiers into the mountains to investigate, but they really couldn't find any traces of the bandits! How many of them there are, and where the nest is, the lower officials really have no way of knowing!" Gu Tiannan replied.

"Wouldn't the merchants of the past have been able to bring the resources to feed so many people? Master Tao, you said that the harvest of their robbery of merchants was more abundant than that of plundering in the city?" Su Xuan asked towards Tao Yan.

The problem that Su Xuan just discovered is this problem.

A big merchant like Fuyao Lou will definitely bring a lot of servants when transporting materials.

And Fuyao Lou has its own dart game, and its strength must not be underestimated.

Then it is much more difficult for bandits to rob these merchants than to enter the city and plunder.

Tao Yan replied, "If you return to your lordship, it is true. There are officers and soldiers in the city, and they do not dare to come in normal times."

"Officers and soldiers in the city? How many officers and soldiers are there in Hakushu Castle?" Su Xuan asked.

"There are five hundred officers and soldiers in Baizhou City." Tao Yan back

replied.

"There are only 500 officers and soldiers in the city, what is the difference between being a void and being nothing? They left an empty city and didn't come to rob it, but they went to rob the merchants who were more difficult?" Su Xuan said coldly.

"This ......"

A little cold sweat flowed from Tao Yan's back.

This Su Xuan's angle of thinking about the problem is very tricky!

Moreover, Su Xuan's logic is clearly right.

Baizhou City is in vain, and the risk of thieves entering the city to rob is not even as big as robbing merchants.

Of course, this is also true.

"Maybe the bandits don't know how many officers and soldiers there are in the city, so they don't dare to enter the city. Besides, although there are only 500 officers and soldiers in the city, it is not a vain." Gu Tiannan hurriedly said.

When Tao Yan heard this, he secretly glared at Gu Tiannan.

You shouldn't talk like that!

How could the bandits not know how many officers and soldiers there were in the city?

As I said before, the bandits have already entered the city and plundered it!

What is the difference between this empty city and their own backyard for those bandits?

"Hehe, the bandit team that can rob the big merchant three times and twice ......" Su Xuan sneered.

Gu Tiannan also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"The lower officials are just guessing, but the fact is that bandits rarely enter the city to plunder." Gu Dao.

Tao Yan hurriedly added: "Maybe the bandits don't want to expose their strength, so they rarely enter the city to rob."

"I see that both of you can become bandit leaders!" Su Xuanli shouted.

The two of them were so frightened that they got up from their chairs.

Su Xuan felt that these two people must know a lot, and it was impossible to ask three questions without knowing anything.

So, they're deliberately hiding something.

They obviously knew that Su Xuan was here to deal with the problem of the bandits

Target.

But in the past few days that Su Xuan has been in Baizhou, as long as Su Xuan doesn't mention it, they don't mention anything about the bandits.

They served Su Xuan well, in fact, they just wanted to send Su Xuan away quickly.

If they were really worried about the country and the people, they would definitely chase Su Xuan every day to ask this question.

"My lord, the subordinate officials have neglected to supervise, and please punish the adults." Gu Tiannan arched his hand and said.

"Please punish you." Tao Yan also added.

"This official came to exterminate the bandits on the orders of the emperor, but the purpose was not achieved, and the official could not go back to the errand. The official wants to suppress the thief, and tomorrow morning, come up with a reasonable solution for the official!" After Su Xuan finished speaking, he left angrily.

Gu Tiannan and Tao Yan saw Su Xuan leaving, so they slowly sat down on the chair.

"Master Tao, this Su Xuan doesn't play cards according to common sense." Gu Dao.

"You just said the wrong thing, you know." Tao Yan has no good airway.

"Yes, yes...... I'm not a quick mouthful. But it's not too much of a problem." Gu Dao.

"If we don't know about this question, I'm afraid he's going to be suspicious." Tao Yan said.

"He said he wanted us to come up with a solution tomorrow, what should we do?" Gu Tiannan asked again.

Tao Yan thought for a long time.

"Since I didn't know anything about it just now, I don't know what to do!" Tao Yan said.

"Makes sense! Anyway, he brought such a few people here, and if he really wants to get rid of the bandits, he can't just rely on his mouth." Gu Dao.

"Be careful what you say in the future! This little eunuch is very shrewd!"

"Damn, eat us, drink us, and point fingers at us!"

……

Su Xuan returned to the restaurant

Not long after, Frostflower also returned.

"Any news?" Su Xuan asked.

"In the past two days, the woman dressed as a man has gone to the Red Dust Building." Frostflower said.

"What the hell did she do in Hongchen Building, and who was she looking for?" Su Xuan asked.

"I don't know about this, if I follow up, it will be easy to be exposed."

"Then find a man to follow up. She has been going to Hongchen Building, there must be a problem. I can't rule out her suspicion, so I can only treat her as a suspect." Su Xuan said.

"Got it."

Su Xuan wanted to see who the guy dressed as a man was.

Also, what kind of goods are under the skin of Gu Tiannan and Tao Yan.

Early the next morning, Su Xuan came to the governor's yamen.

Gu Tiannan and Tao Yan had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

Su Xuan entered the lobby, and the two hurriedly beckoned Su Xuan to sit down on the main seat.

"What did you think about what I told you yesterday?" Su Xuan asked.

"Eradicating the bandits must be the top priority! Whatever the adults say, the lower officials will do it!" Gu Tiannan replied solemnly.

"Well, you can take people into the mountains now, and if you don't get rid of the bandits, you don't have to come back." Su Xuan said coldly.

"Your Excellency, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass us?" Gu Tiannan asked with a bitter face.

"Is this what is going on for you? As magistrates, ought you not to remove hidden dangers for your people?" Su Xuan said coldly.

"My lord, I'll want to wait too!" Gu Dao.
