C116 Bandit Prevalence

The group continued on their way. Although the distance from Shaoxing to Fuzhou was quite far, they had already traveled more than half the way. However, the closer they got to Fuzhou, the more serious Su Zixuan's expression became.

It was fine when they set off from Shaoxing, but the road at the back wasn't that good.

She had already been intercepted by a few bandits.

Su Zixuan didn't think that someone had been sent to kill her. First, those people were clearly ignorant and vulgar. Second, those people were howling so loudly that if they were to truly fight, they wouldn't even be able to beat the servants in their own homes.

At this moment, those people had been knocked down. They were all crying and begging her not to send them to the government.

Su Zixuan looked at the people outside and heard Shopkeeper Chen's voice, "Young master, should we send them to the government?"

Su Zixuan nodded in agreement, but didn't move in the slightest when faced with those people's painful cries. On the other hand, Ji Xing, who was standing to one side, couldn't bear it any longer, but was stopped by a glance from Su Zixuan.

Recently, she had gotten to know the situation here. Pirates had always been rampant in Fujian, and some people even thought that they could get what they wanted without working hard. They just left their farmers behind and took the mountain as their king.

The few waves that she met along the way, other than those that she had intercepted when she entered Fujian, the rest of them were almost all people like this. They still had their fears towards the government and might not have killed people before, but they were all lazy and wanted to reap what they sowed.

This kind of commoners could not be considered simple. Moreover, if they did not take advantage of their fear of the government, they would be able to do something even more outrageous in the future.

When they were done packing and were on their way, Ji Xing couldn't help but ask, "They just made a mistake. It's fine if they were well-educated, but it's too serious for them to send a gift to the government."

Such acts of banditry and theft would only cause them to be imprisoned for a few years. They might even be exiled, but they had yet to do anything.

This wasn't the first time Su Zixuan had seen such a gaze. It was filled with fear, fear for a woman like her who was ruthless, but also contained a hint of disapproval. She didn't approve of her actions that lacked empathy.

The same heart. Ah, if you haven't truly experienced it from a different point of view, how could you have the qualifications to call yourself the same heart?

"It's just because we met." Su Zixuan felt that it was still necessary to explain the situation clearly to this young man who was waiting to be carved.

"Then it's pretty unlucky to meet us." Ji Xing acted like he was being serious. On the surface, he looked extremely indignant. He felt that if it wasn't for the fact that he had coincidentally met Su Zixuan, those people would have at most been taught a lesson.

"Because they met us, they were unable to succeed. After losing, they cried in order to make themselves seem pitiful and escape with their pity."

"But what if they meet someone else today? "What happened to be the passersby, or the travelers?" Su Zixuan was about to burst out laughing at this logic. Since this matter didn't concern him, the only thing he could do was to say a few words that didn't matter.

"If I can't beat them, what will I encounter? And you know what they say is true? "

Ji Xing was stunned and didn't know what to do.

The people around them looked at each other in dismay. If what Su Zixuan had said was true, then others might have been robbed or lost their lives. But now, they were fine.

After Su Zixuan finished speaking, she didn't stop, nor did she board the horse carriage. Mascot quickly rushed over from behind, and as she passed by, Ru Yi even glared at him.

Ji Xing actually didn't have any thoughts towards this matter, but he felt quite amused when he saw the sympathetic expressions on the faces of the people around him.

As a superior, he didn't need to explain too much to his subordinates. However, if he didn't explain anything, then it would be very easy for his subordinates to break the rules.

Ji Xing narrowed his eyes as he looked at the maidservant, Ru Yi, who had walked past them earlier. If he remembered correctly, she couldn't bear to see them crying just now.

Look, if he had made things clear, why would there be so many things to do? These people would just put away their superfluous expressions and fight wherever they wanted to.

However, there was a hint of awkwardness on his face, as if he was feeling guilty for his stupidity. Seeing this, he even felt a little unwilling to be associated with her.

Su Zixuan returned to the carriage, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something wasn't right.

"Ru Yi, do you feel pity for them?"

Ru Yi was indignant and said, "Of course not. Since they have already done such a thing, regardless of whether they have succeeded or not, it is all wrong."

Upon hearing this, Su Zixuan didn't say anything. Lucky was always calm, so it didn't take long for him to show it on his face. However, Ru Yi had clearly revealed a bit of pity previously, but now she changed her attitude.

She thought of Ji Xing again. There was no reason for this man, who had been talking to her along the way, to suddenly flare up. Moreover, from the way he occasionally spoke, he didn't seem like a young master who was out on a sightseeing trip.

However, everyone had their own thoughts. As long as he didn't have any bad intentions, Su Zixuan didn't want to find out why someone hid it.

However, he had deliberately done what he did just now. This made her want to investigate a little bit more.
