The Golden County Magistrate

Early morning.

Xueyan suddenly woke up and immediately realized that she was falling into Chen Yan's arms.

She couldn't help but blush. She didn't know why she fell asleep again while reading the picture book, and fell into Chen Yan's arms again!

It seemed that she was particularly relaxed next to him.

But after a moment, she woke up and wanted to get up.

She was awakened by the subtle footsteps outside, and the footsteps were almost at the door.

But she just got up halfway and froze!

She was wearing a nightgown that she had changed at Chen Yan's request. This thin nightgown for sleeping that she had never seen before, as if the maker was particularly poor and couldn't find enough fabric, was sleeveless and the hem only reached the middle of the thigh, and it was hollowed out everywhere.

To be fair, the style was indeed quite novel and beautiful.

Especially after putting it on, even she felt that the effect was excellent.

It was obviously not suitable for anyone to see, because anyone could easily see her looming and moving scenery under her clothes!

That was fine, Chen Yan, who was sleeping soundly, hugged her tightly at some point, and his left hand was even inside her nightgown...

Dongdong!

The knock on the door scared Xueyan.

At this time, Chen Yan suddenly yawned, woke up, and said casually: "Come in."

Because he heard that it was the unique knocking method of the sergeants of the Nafu Camp, and he woke up not long after sleeping.

But as soon as he said come in, he was suddenly stunned and met the eyes of Xueyan, who was embarrassed in his arms.

Then he found that his left hand seemed to be placed in an inappropriate place...

"Sir, no one can come in!" Xueyan was anxious and whispered.

"Wait!" Chen Yan reacted immediately and shouted loudly.

What if Xueyan's sexy beauty was seen by others?

The soldier outside the door had opened the door halfway and was about to walk in, but he stopped immediately after hearing the words.

"Sir, there is an urgent report." He did not dare to enter, so he stood at the door and whispered.

"No need to come in, just talk outside the door." Chen Yan ordered.

"Report to the lord, there is a small boat that has been following us since we left Jingyang Ferry." The soldier replied.

"Oh, it's finally here." Chen Yan was fully awake and sneered slightly.

"Is someone eyeing our ship?" Xueyan came back to her senses after hearing the words and said vigilantly.

"Four cargo ships, plus a building ship, no official flags and no local ships, it would be strange if they were not eyed by someone with ulterior motives." Chen Yan said confidently, "But only send a small boat to watch behind, the other party will not act so quickly. Go down! Notify all places to raise the alert status to level 2."

"Yes!" The soldier responded and left quickly.

"What is the second alert state?" Xueyan couldn't help asking after hearing a word she didn't understand.

"It means to strengthen the alert, but it doesn't need to be strengthened too much, just a little bit stronger." Chen Yan explained briefly.

He has developed a complete combat system, and the alert states naturally have clear distinctions, but he didn't need to explain it to Xueyan in too much detail.

"A little bit stronger? How do you know that the other party won't act so quickly?" Xueyan asked in confusion.

"Because I know this group of people too well, it's normal for them to target us, and I know when they will act." Chen Yan grinned.

"You knew that you would be targeted?" Xueyan was quite surprised.

"Although Jingjiang is quite close to the capital, the 200-mile waterway between Jingyang Ferry and Shangliang Ferry is a place where river pirates frequently occur."

"In the past three years, there have been 127 ship robberies in this section."

"And the ships that were robbed were basically those of large merchants, and even officials' private ships were robbed."

"Especially in June last year, there were 24 robberies in a month, which was simply robbery every day!"

Chen Yan spoke without thinking.

Xue Yan was shocked and said, "There is such a thing! How come I don't know about it?"

If so many robberies really happened, the government would definitely release news to remind river merchants to pay attention, and the government would also increase river patrols to hunt down river pirates.

What's more, their Fengling Guard has first-hand information on the national security situation, especially since Jingjiang is not far from Sili. If there are really such powerful river pirates here, they can't be unaware of it.

Chen Yan said leisurely: "We have to give a thumbs up to these river pirates. They are particular about who they choose to rob."

Xue Yan was confused.

What else could be particular about this?

"The river pirates in Jingjiang used to rob anyone they saw. During the war, the court had no spare energy to manage it."

"About three years ago, a group of ruthless people came and took care of all the river pirates. Those who were willing to surrender were taken in for their own use."

"Since then, the river pirates in Jingjiang have grown from more than ten groups toA group of people."

"And the targets of the robbery have completely changed, and they specifically target a few types of people."

"One type is the landlords and merchants who are rich and unkind, one type is corrupt officials, and the other type is mountain bandits and villains."

"And all the stolen goods are those that cannot be seen in the light. How dare these people report to the authorities?"

"They even have to cover up more to avoid exposing their wealth of unknown origin."

Chen Yan explained.

Xue Yan was surprised and said, "Aren't these people considered chivalrous thieves?"

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Indeed, many people call them that."

Xue Yan sighed, "It would be better if there were more people like this."

Chen Yan sneered, "Wrong, wrong, wrong! Absolutely wrong! If there are too many people like this, the world will be over!"

Xue Yan was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that they were doing chivalrous things? Why would the world be over? "

Chen Yan looked at her with contempt.

"When did I say that their actions could be called chivalrous? That was what you said! You have a typical common people's thinking!"

"What is a chivalrous thief? First of all, they did something that violated the laws of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Second, they did not use the money they robbed to help the poor. Third, there were many casualties in the process. How can they be called chivalrous?"

"It's just that these people are very smart and chose the targets that are least likely to expose their whereabouts."

"Although they robbed those who were hated by the people, in essence, they were still just robbing property."

"To put it more deeply, it's at most a robbery."

"So, if they didn't have corrupt officials to rob, do you think they would give up robbing and go home to farm?"

"No, they would only rob ordinary people or ordinary merchants instead!"

Xueyan blushed after being criticized by him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Excellency is right, Xueyan knows her mistake. "

Indeed, her true identity is that of the government, and she should not agree with the actions of those river pirates.

And Chen Yan's statement does make sense.
