After a while, Galangal and Bao came over to visit with a lantern.

Chu Yin quickly ordered Qinghao to hold a lamp and went out in person, "Why are you here? I should be an apprentice to visit you."

Galangian waved his hand, "They're all the same!" He looked Chu Yin up and down, and when he saw that her face was as normal, he couldn't help but smile a little proudly, "You're a girl who's stronger than an ordinary man!

"Most people would be frightened when encountering such a battle!"

Chu Yin smiled and said, "Of course your own apprentice thinks everything is fine."

After a few words, everyone went to rest, and no more accidents happened that night.

When the sky brightened, Chen Jie came to see Chu Yin and told her the results of his interrogation.

"The assassin in the evening was the brother-in-law of a general who was at the guard station.

“He was originally an unlearned gangster who got into a lot of trouble, but was suppressed by his brother-in-law.

“Later when we came, he came out to avoid trouble, so he was not there when something happened at home.

"Somehow, he got involved in a gang of bandits and robbed houses everywhere. Because he knew some boxing skills and had more bad intentions than others, he quickly gained the trust of the bandit leader.

"They were the ones who sent people to dig into our ship before. The poison was also hidden by this kid, but he lied to those people and said it was a fake death drug."

No wonder those water bandits didn't look like well-trained dead warriors at that time, but their decisiveness in swallowing poison was unique to dead warriors.

This brother-in-law, with his eloquent tongue, gathered bandits from several hills and told them that the person he wanted to rob was a very wealthy person. If they made this deal, they could wash their hands immediately because of the money they earned. Enough for several lifetimes of spending.

He himself planned to catch Chu Yin and negotiate terms with Rong An. Of course, he was alone now and fearless. If Rong An dared to act rashly, he would kill Chu Yin and avenge his family.

Chu Yin asked: "How does he know my identity?"

"This guy has already sent people to keep an eye on Xiajiangkou," Chen Jie said. "Their people will follow you as soon as you get on the boat.

"It's just that these bandits are bandits when they are robbing, and they are ordinary people when they are not robbing. It is really difficult for people to find them if they are spread out."

Chu Yin smiled and said: "So, Centurion Chen is very alert."

"Hehe," Chen Jie smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head, "To be honest with the county master, this subordinate is from the scout camp."

Chu Yin nodded, "That's no wonder. However, I invited you to tea, why didn't you accept it?"

Chen Jie said honestly: "County Lord, the military regulations in our army are very strict, and we cannot accept your money in the first place.

"After this trip, the marshal has already given us a silver reward. He also said that if we get to the ground safely, he will stay there and be responsible for protecting you, and you will be the one to pay the monthly payment.

"I have already collected money from you once before. The marshal said that once or twice is enough. If you do more, you will be severely fined."

"Then I won't embarrass you," Chu Yin said, "You have been tired all night, do you want to take a rest? How to deal with the bandits here? They must not be out in force, right?"

"Don't worry," Chen Jie said, "We have dealt with similar matters before. We have obtained the confession, just contact the local government.

"In addition, I also sent a letter to the left prime minister, and he will send someone to keep an eye on the matter."

He added: "It's important to be on the road. We can just rest when we get to the boat. We can sleep no matter where we go."
