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

Chapter 521 Only for the imperial court

He probably already identified Chi Xinian and his group as businessmen on the rivers and lakes. When the waiter mentioned the disaster relief food, he lowered his voice and said to Chi Xinian in a low voice: "Besides, the disaster relief food is gone. waterway!
"Even if there are elite soldiers from the imperial court to help escort them, it's hard to say how much will be left when we arrive in Pingcheng.

"Miss, are you from the rivers and lakes? You must have heard of the Jianghu water bandits when you travel the rivers and lakes, right? This group of people didn't know what to do this year, and they got into trouble with our Pingxing government.

"They robbed the money from the government to maintain the dams, and they also robbed the supplies that the government allocated to various places for disaster relief.

"It's all because of this group of gangsters that this good city has fallen to this point!

"However, they are still very powerful, and the imperial court's bandit suppression team can't do anything about them...

"I don't know what the imperial court thinks. The disaster relief only sends supplies, but no sailors... Isn't this sending cooked ducks to people's mouths?

"Well, in my opinion, this matter will last for a long time..."

"Oh? Water bandits?" Chi Xinian originally only wanted to find out the profit network behind the food price, but unexpectedly heard about the water bandits again.

She raised her brows slightly, and asked, "In Pingxing Mansion, are there still water bandits robbing the court supplies? When did the bandits become so bold?

"And from what you said, this group of water bandits is still a powerful master, even the local government can't suppress them. So... how dare businessmen from other places come here to make profits? Aren't they afraid of being robbed?

"I also helped escort two caravans when I came here. I saw that the people accompanying them were all average..."

Chi Xinian's words made the waiter even more sure that this girl is a wanderer.

Therefore, when talking about the situation, he didn't have too many scruples: "Girl, you are not in Pingxing, and you still don't understand the strange situation here.

"For some reason, that group of water bandits seemed to be in conflict with the imperial court. They didn't even look at the goods of ordinary merchants, but only stared at the money and supplies delivered by the imperial court.

"So, it's reasonable that you and the caravan didn't meet them. But the supplies of the imperial court are... oh..."

When the shop boy talked about this point, he sighed several times, then shook his head and said: "It's useless for us ordinary people to worry about the imperial court, I just hope that the magistrate can find a way to protect us.

"However, the price of food probably won't come down anytime soon.

"So, you don't have to worry about not being able to find good products for small ones."

"There is such a bizarre thing..." Chi Xinian was also amazed, "Well, since you said so, I will believe you.

"In short, if things are done well, I will be rewarded alone. But if you dare to lie to me..."

Chi Xinian lightly stroked the knife hanging on his waist with his palm, and said coldly, "You should be able to imagine the consequences. We Jianghu people have always been clear about right and wrong when we do things."

"Yes, yes..." the waiter repeatedly said yes.

After reassuring Chi Xinian for a few more words, he carefully backed out.

"Huh..." Closing the door of the guest room, the waiter couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Even though he was facing a young girl just now, when the other party inadvertently showed her aura, he still felt weak in his legs.

Dealing with such people in the world is exhausting physically and mentally...

But it's ok...

He touched the large piece of money in his pocket—high risk always comes with high reward, if this matter is done well, their family may be able to survive this calamity safely!
