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

Chapter 538 What do you think?

Just as Chi Xinian said, the Minjiang water bandits did things too badly this time, which affected the people's livelihood, and naturally attracted the attention of the court.

Even the Son of Heaven, who was thousands of miles away, briefly put aside the battles that were close at hand, and focused his attention on Pingxing.

Naturally, the group of water bandits should not make any big moves at this time.

The safest way for them to deal with it should be to hide on the spot, wait until the limelight passes, and then organize and store the money and materials they plundered.

In this way, if the bandit leader who directed the bandit's actions had been hiding near Pingxing before, at this moment, there is a great possibility that he is still hiding nearby.

Chi Xinian's words made Master Zhu fall into deep thought again. He thought about Chi Xinian's analysis carefully, and generally agreed with what she said.

But he still has his own worries.

After hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head and said: "Even if everything is as your mother said, we still don't know anything about the bandit leader... Even if we meet each other on the street, we can't tell him apart...

"If you want to capture it, I'm afraid it won't be something that can be done in a while.

"That's right, the lower officials still think that it's not an easy task to catch the culprits."

"Of course." This time, Chi Xinian agreed with him.

She nodded slightly, and said in a flat tone: "My judgment can only prove that the man is probably still hiding near us, but it is not very useful for capturing him.

"To capture this person, we must have more information.

"Of course, now we are not completely ignoring what we can do. As long as we secretly deploy people to closely monitor the flow of people in and around Pingcheng, maybe we can find some clues."

"Then what does the empress mean... let's stand still first?" Master Zhu Xiaohou asked tentatively.

"Naturally." Chi Xinian nodded, "We have limited manpower and are faced with the aftermath of the disaster, so of course we can do it as easily as possible.

"I hope that everyone can pay more attention to the matter of finding clues. In this way, we may be able to capture the bandit leader without too much effort.

"And as long as this most important person falls into the net of justice, most of what His Majesty has told you will be considered complete. At that time, the palace will decide on the subsequent clean-up plan according to the situation.

"If there are still too many things that need manpower for disaster relief, I will also write a letter to His Majesty explaining that I will temporarily let the remaining gangsters go, and focus on disaster relief."

"With the empress's words, the lower officials will definitely cooperate." Chi Xinian said the words to the present, and Zhu Xiaohou and others naturally had no chance of denying the possibility of suppressing the bandits.

Immediately, a group of people headed by Lord Zhu Xiaohou expressed that they would fully cooperate.

Seeing this, Chi Xinian was not polite.

After comparing the map and arranging surveillance locations for everyone, she asked everyone to rest.

Everyone left one after another.

But when Master Zhu was about to leave, Chi Xinian suddenly called out and stopped him: "Master Zhu, please stay. I still have some questions, and I want to ask for advice alone."

Zhu Ziping stopped, turned around and walked in front of Chi Xinian: "I don't know what other orders do you have?"

Chi Xinian didn't answer right away, but gave Xin Yi a look first, and asked him to guard the door, before she said: "Since arriving last night, Young Master has already stayed in Pingcheng for a whole day.

"Thinking about it, you already have a general understanding of the situation here.

"That's why I want to ask you what you think."
