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

Chapter 541 Exploring Mysteries
"Can you figure out the mystery of the prefect Xu...?" Zhu Ziping frowned and thought for a moment, "To tell you the truth, since His Majesty told the lower officials to go south to find out the truth about the flood incident, the weirdness about the prefect Xu is naturally the result of the lower officials. within the detection range.

"However... the feeling of getting along with each other this day tells the officer that it is not easy to find a breakthrough.

"If you want to pry into his secret, I'm afraid you need an opportunity..."

It's not that he is unwilling to cooperate. If there is a good way, he will definitely cooperate with all his strength.But right now, they still have to use others, and their hearts must not be disturbed. This method of direct arrest and torture cannot be used.

But to observe from the side and look for suspicious points, it still needs a bit of skill.

"Young Master's concerns, I understand." Chi Xinian nodded, expressing his understanding.

After losing the most direct interrogation channel, it is really difficult to get effective clues.Moreover, there are also internal agents from the water bandits in the government, so if you search rashly, you might be misled.

So, after thinking about it, Chi Xinian just said: "Well, let's find an opportunity to talk to Xu Zhifu alone.

"If he really has any difficulties or troubles, maybe he will confide in private."

"Yes." Zhu Ziping thought for a while, "There is a fast-moving river near Pingcheng, which is the most important reinforcement point. Tomorrow, let's take advantage of the repair situation of the river embankment and contact Xu Zhifu in private.

"I just want to work hard for you, stepping on the muddy ground with us, to that messy embankment..."

"It's okay, I'm not someone who can't stand these things." Chi Xinian doesn't care about muddy or muddy land. In contrast, she cares more about, "You lead people aside to talk alone It's best to look natural when you are.

"The officials of Pingcheng must be dishonest, so we can't let them see the clues."

"Your official understands." Zhu Ziping nodded.

After exchanging information with Chi Xinian and finalizing how to proceed with the investigation, Zhu Ziping got up to leave.

But when he got to the door, he suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, my lady, there is another strange thing. I forgot to tell my lady about it."

"Oh? What?" Chi Xinian raised his eyes.

"It's Zhifu Xu..." Zhu Ziping pondered for a while before expressing his thoughts, "When the subordinates learned that the flood in Pingxing was caused by water bandits and Xu Zhifu didn't report it, they naturally blamed him immediately.

"He... He was very calm when he gave the unreliable reason, or it didn't matter.

"He didn't seem, at all, worried that we found out that there was something wrong with the reason. On the contrary, he even seemed to be waiting for us to investigate..."

After a short pause, Zhu Ziping continued: "Although we haven't been together for a long time, once the issue of water bandits is involved, the subordinate officials feel that there is an indescribable strangeness in Xu Zhifu's whole person.

"The lower official doesn't think he has anything to do with the water bandits, but he...but he..."

Speaking of this point, Master Zhu Xiaohou didn't know how to describe it.

He scratched his head and stood there in embarrassment.

He originally planned to keep these words in his heart and not mention them to others.

But after talking with Chi Xinian, he already understood that the queen, who was dedicated to suppressing bandits, did not blame the magistrate Xu entirely.She also looked at the problem comprehensively, so he dared to mention the doubts he found.

He thought that this suspicious point might be useful for Chi Xinian to study the mystery of the magistrate Xu.
