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

Chapter 522 Not an opponent
With such thoughts in mind, the waiter smiled again on his face.

In the end, he left contentedly.

As everyone knows, even if he exits the guest room, his every move is under the surveillance of Chi Xinian and others.

"Master, the other person has already left. After going downstairs, he found a reason to ask the shopkeeper for leave. It seems that he really went to find the show for you." He secretly followed the shop waiter for a while, in case the guard who thwarted his idea came back. After that, he immediately reported what he saw and heard to Chi Xinian.

"Well, let him find it." Chi Xinian didn't care too much about the fact that the shop boy made money.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, she asked what she really cared about: "When you followed up just now, did you check with someone what he said by the way?
"The prefect Xu's ability to handle affairs, and the fact that the water bandits only rob officials but not the people, are they all true?"

"Reporting to master, what he said...is true." As he nodded, the guard who was questioned couldn't help showing a strange look.

Obviously, he was also amazed by this matter.

What enmity do these water bandits on the Minjiang River have with the Pingxing government?How could it be aimed at them like this?And judging from the current situation, it seems that only Pingxing Mansion has been targeted, and other surrounding state capitals have not heard of such outrageous things.

Coincidentally, Xin Yi and the other three who went to inquire about the news at this moment also returned to Chi Xinian at this time: "Girl, we have heard a lot about the flood in Pingxing.

"The most valuable one is that the water bandits on the side of the Pingxing mansion seem to have formed a relationship with the Pingxing government.

"Right now, they only act against the government, not the people."

"Oh? Have you heard the news too?" Chi Xinian slightly raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "Tell me what you know carefully."

"Yes, girl." With a slight nod, Xin sorted out the news that he had just inquired about and told Chi Xinian to listen.

Among them, about the establishment of cloth tents and porridge sheds by the prefect of Xu, and the incident of the water bandits targeting the Pingxing government, there is not much difference from what the shop Xiaoer said.

However, the news that Xinyi found out was more specific.

For example, when it comes to solving the problem of refugees, the magistrate Xu was worried that someone in his family would fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to take advantage of the government, which made the government unable to support it in advance.

Therefore, it is stipulated that all the people who make porridge in the porridge shed can drink for nothing on the first day, but they must go to work with the river embankment maintenance team organized by the officers and soldiers on the second day.

People have to work before they can have porridge.

In this way, not only is it avoided that someone fishes in troubled waters, but also organizes manpower as quickly as possible to block the gap and reduce the possibility of secondary floods.

But although Xu Zhifu's method is good, it won't last long.

The news that there was not much food left in the granary of the Pingxing government had already spread yesterday.

If the disaster relief funds and food allocated by the imperial court fail to arrive on time, even Pingcheng, not to mention the relief of the surrounding counties and small towns that suffered the most, may also be in a difficult situation.

And because the water bandits were targeting the government, most people were relatively pessimistic about whether the relief food given by the court could reach Pingcheng safely and then be distributed to the disaster areas in Pingxing Prefecture.

Many people believe that without the protection of a large number of naval forces, the relief supplies are likely to fall into the hands of the enemy again.

"Girl, the servant girl found out that the Pingxing government is not a match for the water bandits. If the water bandits really have ideas, I'm afraid..."
