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

Chapter 496 The Water Bandits Are Too Powerful
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Yan Chujing stopped the little guy, and whispered a few words of comfort to Chi Xinian.

He said good things, but in Chi Xinian's ears, they became sweet words to excuse Chi Chengyu.But at the moment of the matter, she didn't say anything. She glanced at the two of them and gave them a meaningful smile, then she said calmly: "Your Majesty, let's talk to Aunt Chu about the flood as soon as possible."

Yan Chujing shuddered at Chi Xinian's meaningful smile, and Chi Chengyu, who was leaning against him, shrank into his arms again.

The subconscious actions of the two made the other party realize that their reaction was not overthinking.

But there was an unexpected breakthrough in the flood incident, and the clues must never be lost, so even if Yan Chujing was flustered, he could only insist on gritting his teeth and turning his eyes back to Chu Qi.

"From what you said, your hometown of Qi County suffered a catastrophe because of a rare water bandit who suddenly appeared to make trouble and was robbed of the money to build and strengthen the dam?" Yan Chujing slowed down his tone, and then asked Chu Qi again. Confirmed this.

He worried that he had acted too seriously just now, frightened her, and caused her description to deviate from the real situation.

However, his worries seemed unnecessary.

Hearing this, Chu Qi nodded and said, "It's exactly as His Majesty said."

"Is that water bandit very powerful?" After getting the exact answer, Yan Chujing tapped his fingertips on the table and asked thoughtfully, "Why, after being robbed by them, the Qi County government didn't organize the local officers and soldiers to take back the silver? "

Being robbed, the first reaction of the government should be to suppress the bandits, and then take back the money and materials, right?

But how could the county magistrate of Qi County just let it go?

In the end, because the embankment was not repaired, it caused a catastrophe...

Could it be that…

As soon as Yan Chujing thought about a certain possibility, Chu Qi sighed softly: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Qi County also tried hard, but the team of water bandits on the opposite side is really too powerful.

"They are not only powerful in force, but also well-trained. The people organized by Qixian County are not capable of fighting at all. They went to the fight with pride, but in the end they returned in complete defeat...

"Even because of this, many yamen servants were sacrificed, and the county yamen also paid a lot of compensation.

"In the end, that's what happened."

Speaking of these, Chu Qi couldn't help but become a little ugly.

Obviously, this memory is very painful for all the people in Qi County.

As a result, their hometown suffered catastrophe, and countless people were displaced, all related to this group of water bandits.

"Strong force, well-trained?" Hearing this, Yan Chujing couldn't help frowning.

Why does this matter get more and more strange the more I hear it?
There are water bandits all the year round in the Minjiang River. It is not surprising that they are well-trained, but they are powerful... Even if they are all of good physique, the yamen servants in the Qi County yamen are not vegetarians...

When the two sides are facing each other, how can they feel that the other party has high martial arts skills and loses in a complete mess when the number of people is equal?
Yan Chujing didn't understand this.

He could only turn his attention to Chi Xinian.

Chi Xinian has led troops for many years, so she may be able to explain this problem.

Sensing Yan Chujing's gaze, Chi Xinian understood his intentions, so she also looked at Chu Qi seriously: "Dare to ask Aunt Chu, when Yinzi was escorting Yinzi, how is the strength of the troops compared to previous years?"

"no change."

"When he was robbed, did he fight back and forth, or...?" Chi Xinian continued to ask.

"A crushing defeat."

Chu Qi didn't hesitate at all when she answered. Obviously, this is a tragic situation that everyone knows.
