Chapter 540 The sense of separation is too strong

"Therefore, I have sent another letter to Your Majesty to explain the situation. I hope that Xu Ru can be used to preach for a while, at least until the disaster relief matters are finished, before we talk about this person's merits and demerits."

When Mr. Zhu Xiaohou reached this point, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Even though this person has made mistakes, he has also made merits. Your Majesty may have noticed his faults, but please take another look at the situation and consider his merits.

"Putting the two together, you may also think that at this juncture when everyone is too busy, it is the right choice to continue to use an official who is accustomed to disaster relief and knows the local situation very well."

Mr. Zhu Xiaohou spoke eloquently, and Chi Xinian understood that this was a decision made by an upright man like him after careful consideration.

She also fully understands this decision.

Therefore, leaving him alone for questioning today is not to argue with Xu Ruxuan's handling method.

She just pondered for a moment and then said: "Since you have seen the whole thing so thoroughly, don't you think that Magistrate Xu is weird?"

"What does the empress mean...?!" Zhu Ziping widened his eyes slightly and looked at Chi Xinian in surprise.

At first, he was still worried, worried that the empress, who could not tolerate disdain in her eyes, would not want to use Xu Ruxuan again after seeing his faults.

But now it seems that this person is...

She was already seriously considering why Magistrate Xu acted alone and there was such a sense of separation between the front and back?

"Actually, it has been a few days since I came to Pingcheng." Chi Xinian understood what he meant when he saw the person opposite him, and returned to his previous peaceful appearance, without sadness or joy.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "In the past few days, I have found that Magistrate Xu is indeed a real official who can do good things for the people.

"But I don't believe the reason why he was worried about someone behind the gang and didn't dare to report it to the court.

"But if it wasn't like this... After thinking about it, I felt that he might have encountered some unspeakable trouble. Because he had no choice, he briefly concealed the water bandits from the court."

"Then what are the people who forced him to do this?" Zhu Ziping is not a fool. After some investigation, he also had such an idea.

But as soon as the idea came up, he erased it himself.

If Magistrate Xu really had no choice, then the person who coerced him would definitely gain certain benefits from such a move, right?

As a result, it was only kept secret from the court for a few days.

Because of this, he attracted the attention of the imperial court.

At the moment, the imperial court has even dispatched General Chi, who was invincible in the past... This... water bandit group, even though they are powerful, must have been frightened, right?

Not only does this coercion have no meaning at all, it actually seems like shooting oneself in the foot.

Zhu Ziping shook his head: "I feel that the theory of coercion does not make sense. There may be other hidden reasons behind this matter."

"Well, I know what you are thinking." Chi Xinian did not get angry with Zhu Ziping because of the difference of opinion. She only continued, "But no matter what, the mystery surrounding Xu Zhifu is the key to solving the problem.

"If we can figure out the mystery about him, it will be helpful for us to find the gangster, and even help us consider how to deal with him.

"People just talked so much that it's hard for me to speak frankly about this matter.

"Now I am talking to you alone because I want to invite you to explore the secrets of Magistrate Xu together.

"Pingcheng is not a place I am familiar with, and there are not many people I can trust.

"I wonder if the young Marquis can help me with this?"
