The Favored Little Peasant Has Stolen the Heroine’s Life!

   Chapter 18 Chain

Half a month after Yuan Zhaodi returned to Linhe Village, news came one after another that many piers and small towns along the river were attacked by water pirates, causing heavy casualties.

  As such news came, Yuan Zhaodi and the old chief became more and more aware that this court navy master faked water thieves for evil, and it was by no means a trivial matter.

  Because the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to clear the water pirates was the prince of the dynasty.

  You must know that this Qingyuan River is an important waterway.

  Taxes, silver, rice, grain, cloth, and other items in the southern part of the Yangtze River can only be transported to the capital through the Qingyuan River. The Qingyuan River was troubled by water thieves, and the income of the court in the south of the Yangtze River was bound to be hindered.

   "Father, how can this be done?"

  Yuan Zhaodi received the news from outside, and her heart was indescribably heavy.

   Water pirates do not exist, some are just court navy.

   Even if the prince is an imperial envoy, he has to rely on the court navy if he wants to eliminate the water thieves. This situation is a typical thief shouting to catch a thief.

   Once the court navy wants to close the case, then he must find the real water pirate.

   But in fact, there are no water pirates on the Qingyuan River.

  If you want to close the case, you have to kill good people and take credit.

   "You ask me, who do I ask?"

   The old man gave his son a blank look.

   He is just an ordinary old farmer. In the face of such a situation, it is very rare that he does not panic and panic. As for letting him think of a solution, isn't it difficult for a strong man?

   "Father, why don't we hide in the mountains first?"

Yuan Zhaodi looked at her father, "Even if the emperor sent by the imperial court doesn't come to find me, the court navy will definitely not let the young men in the villages along the river go, and maybe they will find someone to help. Let's go to Linhe Village."

"you're right!"

   The old chief did not doubt Yuan Zhaodi's inference in the slightest.

   But in the current situation, they have no choice at all.

  Yuan Zhaodi escaped the disaster at the Longtou Town wharf. This is not a secret, everyone in Shiliba Village knows it. Under such circumstances, if their entire family hid in the mountains for no reason, wouldn't they be self-inflicted?

  Although the old leader knew that the situation was not good for them, he knew very well that the current situation is that people are the swordsmen, and I am the fish.

   There is no way to resist.

   After all, no one knows why the imperial navy would pretend to be a water pirate.

  The imperial prince?

   Who can guarantee the arrival of this prince, is it their original plan?

   "Father, then, I'm going to inform others now?"

   Hearing that his father agreed with his statement, Yuan Zhaodi jumped up directly.

   "You stop for me!"

   The old man roared without waiting for his son to go out.

   "Father, what happened again?"

   Yuan Zhaodi glared at his father, "Now is not the time to be indecisive, we have to act decisively!"

   When the interruption is continuous, you will suffer from it.

   "If we leave now, wouldn't we clearly tell others that we have ghosts in our hearts? At that time, even if we hide in the mountains, we are afraid that we will encounter endless pursuit!"

  The court navy faked water thieves and slaughtered many docks and towns along the Qingyuan River. To say that there is nothing tricky in it, the old man would never believe it.

   "Father, what should I do then?"

   "We can't just sit still at home, can we?"

  Yuan Zhaodi thought for a moment, and then he understood what his father was worried about. But even if it is possible to be suspected, it is better than staying at home and waiting to die!
