Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 495 Don't be as fierce as your sister

"Water bandits? Are there frequent water bandits in your Qi County area?" Regarding the situation of water bandits, Yan Chujing hadn't seen it in the document reported by Xu Ruxuan, the prefect of Pingxing.

When he heard it now, he naturally paid special attention to it.

As his thoughts raced, his face became more serious.

After all, he was the emperor, and when he was smiling kindly, he was still a little intimidating, but now that he had a straight face, he was even more frightening.

The Chu family was frightened by him, their lips trembled, and they reported in a respectful and low voice just now: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Minjiang River is the main artery for shipping in the south of the Yangtze River, and many of its tributaries have been built into canals.

"So this river has always been full of water bandits...

"But the waterway is related to people's livelihood after all. Many people in the south of the Yangtze River rely on this waterway for food and wealth. Therefore, the imperial court is also very strict. Most of the time, the water bandits can't get well...

"As for Qi County... Qi County is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized county, and it is not very rich. Therefore, most of the time, there are no water bandits to disturb.

"Besides, water bandits generally don't touch the officials who build the embankment. First, they are afraid that the imperial court will be angry and send sailors to encircle and suppress them. Second, because the river embankment collapsed, everyone will not be able to eat or make money. Yes. They're not good either.

"It's probably because of these reasons. As far as I know, in the past ten years or so, there hasn't been a single case of official banks subsidizing river embankment projects being robbed."

Probably because he was afraid that he, a little woman, would not be able to answer the emperor satisfactorily.

Therefore, after describing the basic situation, she cautiously asked Yan Chujing: "Is there anything else you want to know? The women must know everything!"

"Hey, you scared people..." Chu Qi's attitude of awe was too obvious, thinking that she was the sister of the second aunt after all, and also afraid that Yan Chujing would make the atmosphere too serious and lose the opportunity to integrate into the Chi family. Nian hurriedly poked him quietly on the back, reminding him to relax.

But unexpectedly, after Chi Xinian spoke, Chi Chengyu also quietly tugged on Yan Chujing's sleeve: "Brother-in-law, Aunt Chu is a member of our family, and she will definitely not hide anything from you.

"You can relax a little bit and ask slowly.

"Don't follow my elder sister's way of judging people. It's too fierce and scary."

Chi Xinian: "...?"

"Chi Chengyu, what do you mean?!" Chi Xinian gritted his teeth and stared at the little guy sitting between her and Yan Chujing.

I haven't seen you for a while, but this kid has learned how to use roof tiles?
How dare he cite her as fierce in front of Yan Chujing? !

But after all, it's her own brother, and she won't beat him up just because of a few words. It's just that this little guy has learned to ask Yan Chujing to protect him after being stared at by her.

He moved slightly towards Yan Chujing, and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother-in-law... help me stop sister!"

Chi Xinian: "???"

"Puff!" Seeing this, Yan Chujing couldn't help but chuckled. He slightly bent his phoenix eyes, and looked at Chi Xinian with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would sometimes be deflated."

When the two of them were together, most of the time it was Chi Xinian who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Unexpectedly, she would fall on a little guy one day.

"I just saw that there was a guest, so I didn't beat him up." Chi Xinian gave Chi Chengyu a cold look, "I'm going to file a complaint, right? I've made a note of this, and I'll definitely deal with you next time I have time."

"I'm just telling the truth..." Chi Chengyu whispered.

At the same time, he shrank back to Yan Chujing.
