Chapter 545 What should we pay attention to?

Chi Xinian said calmly: "I have traveled thousands of miles and traveled day and night to come to Pingxing in order to fulfill your majesty's entrustment and kill thieves for the people.

"You can't give up on such an important matter so easily just because you said, 'The water bandits will probably stop causing trouble,' right?

"If I leave empty-handed, how can I communicate with His Majesty and the people of Pingxing?

"Prefect Xu, since you want to persuade me, you should give me a justifiable reason.

"So, what's your reason?"

Chi Xinian said that it was okay to be embarrassed, but as long as you were not stupid, you could tell that she was using another method to ask about the grudges between Magistrate Xu and the water bandits in the Minjiang River.

As long as Magistrate Xu wanted to give her a reason, he had to mention the matter between himself and the water bandits.

If she doesn't want to mention it, then she won't accept the suggestion.

After Xu Ruxuan reacted, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Chi Xinian didn't rush him, just waited for him quietly.

She was betting that he really had a reason to persuade her to stop, that there were many things involved in the suppression of bandits, and that the prefect, who had the people at heart, would eventually tell her what he was hiding in his heart for the benefit of the people.

Chi Xinian is confident that he can win.

But things backfired, and she didn't completely win the bet in the end.

But fortunately, she didn't lose completely.

After Xu Ruxuan hesitated for a while, he did not choose to reveal the truth, but he also said: "Your Majesty is right, your Majesty has issued an imperial edict. To ask you to stop at this time, there must be a justifiable reason.

"You have also analyzed the whereabouts of the water bandits, including the possible hiding place of their leader, in front of everyone. It is not right to say that no one can be found at this time.

"Then please tell your majesty that peace and prosperity in Dajing will last forever. What happens here is only a small part of the thousands of things that happen in Dajing every day. Whether it is your majesty's eyes or your empress's talents,

It should be placed on the whole of Dajing.

"Instead, just pay attention to a small place like Pingxing."

"Sir Xu, Pingxing Mansion is not a small place." Chi Xinian sneered, "Jiangnan is rich, and Pingxing Mansion, as one of the four Jiangnan mansions, is the backbone of Dajing's treasury.

"Do you think His Majesty will leave such an existence easily? As for my talents... Hey, now that the external enemies have been eliminated, aren't there only internal worries left?

"And the internal problem that needs to be solved by force is the Minjiang water bandit. If I don't keep an eye on them, who else can I keep an eye on?"

At the end of his words, Chi Xinian suddenly paused for a moment.

She hadn't noticed anything when she heard Xu Ruxuan's false words before. Now, when she asked him back, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

She felt that she should just keep an eye on the water bandits of the Minjiang River.

Yan Chujing also felt that because of the importance of Pingxing Mansion, he should put the issue of Pingxing floods at the top of his mind.

Only Xu Ruxuan felt that they should not keep staring at Pingxing, but should focus their gaze elsewhere.

Did he feel...that their attention was in the wrong place?

But if they don’t pay attention to Pingxing, where should they pay attention?

She suddenly remembered the strange things that had happened in the capital recently in Yan Chujing's letter...

Should their attention be focused on these things?

Thinking of this, Chi Xinian couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Ruxuan. If her and Zhu Xiaohou's observations were correct, and this Magistrate Xu was a good official who knew some inside stories when he encountered difficulties, then what she had just thought of...

"You..." Chi Xinian said thoughtfully.

But before she finished speaking, someone hurried over from the side.
