Chapter 523: The Rumors Are True

As soon as Zishi arrived, Chi Xinian took his men and quietly went to Pingxing Mansion Office along the map he got during the day.

I heard that Magistrate Xu was worried about the flood situation, so he stayed in the government office every day for the past half month and did not go home.

If you want to see him, you have to come here.

However...looking at the Pingxing Mansion Office, which was not too tightly guarded, Chi Xinian couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Girl, why does this Pingxing government office make people feel so weird?"

I'm sure, this yamen is just a sieve that someone with a little skill can sneak through.

"Didn't their Pingxing government have an enmity with the Minjiang water bandits for some reason? Why didn't they have any sense of precaution?

"Could it be that if you can't defeat others on the water, you have to give up the defense of your own core territory?

"This is too..."

"Miss Xinyi is right, this defense does make people a little confused." Another guard standing next to Chi Xinian also said, "We are standing at a high place now, so we can see clearly.

"There are only three five-person teams in the Pingxing government office. They are quite far apart from each other. If something happens to one party, it is really difficult for the other two parties to arrive in a short time to provide support.

"Unless...these fifteen people are all masters, or they are hiding people secretly."

Everyone knows that the previous guess is almost impossible.

The government officials are not well-trained soldiers. They know both skills and can cooperate in catching criminals. Besides, if they really have so many masters, they will not be defeated by the water bandits.

But if it's the latter...

Chi Xinian pondered for a moment, but still shook his head: "The probability of Tibetans is not high, the differences between the government and the water bandits are already known to ordinary people.

"Right now, both sides are playing clear cards.

"The idea of ​​catching a turtle in a urn actually doesn't make much sense."

But after a pause, she still said cautiously: "But just in case, we should be careful when we go in, divide into three groups and sneak in from three directions.

"In case of an accident, the other two groups must help me lead people away.

"I have a hunch that getting up close and personal with this prefect of Pingxing, who has many mysteries about him, will have a positive effect on us in advancing the case!"

"Here!"

Chi Xinian was not one to hesitate. After making a decision, he directly divided the people into three groups and asked them to sneak into the Pingxing Mansion Office with him.

Just like her initial analysis, there were no masters in Pingxing Mansion and there were no hidden secrets. With her ability, she found all the way to Magistrate Xu and lurked on its roof without any accidents.

"Xinyi, help me watch the wind." She whispered to Xinyi, and she moved the tiles on the roof and focused most of her attention on the person below who was still looking at the lamp and reviewing official documents.

This Xu Zhizhou is already forty and seventy-seven years old, a middle-aged and elderly person in his late fifties.

And this little half month of hard work left many traces of exhaustion on his furrowed face.

With just one glance, Chi Xinian could see that the rumors in the market were not groundless. Magistrate Xu must have really worked hard since the floods occurred, worrying about solving the livelihood problems of the refugees every day.

At the same time, her eyes also passed over the other person next to Magistrate Xu.

The old man with gray hair also looked tired.
