Chapter 530
After hearing Lu Siming come to ask for advice, he immediately nodded seriously, "Although we are not afraid of these young people, they will still be troublesome."

Take the land route instead.

Seeing the cheap dad's forced composure, Lu Siming didn't reveal it. He handed over his hand and asked the ship's boss to move all the carriages off the ship.

Several clever sailors were sent to notify the local officials as soon as they docked.

When they brought the carriage down, the local government just arrived, and by coincidence, the three official ships happened to be the ships of the lower city government.

"We were originally following Lord Zhizhou's orders to deliver food to the front line. How could someone so bold dare to rob an official ship at this time?"

The person who came was the county magistrate of Xiacheng, because the robbery of the official ship was a big deal, and the people who encountered this incident were the family members of Yuzhou Tongzhi. It was both emotional and reasonable...

He had to come in person.

Chen Linzhi stepped in to deal with it and explained the situation. Of course, he did not say that they could escape, mainly because of the Lu family's guards and the sailors instigated by Lu Siming.

He simply said that they lost a lot of cargo and escaped using their speed. The sailors also killed a lot of water thieves, hoping to get rewards.

"This is natural." The Xiacheng County Magistrate said politely, "Although Chuzhou's crackdown on various bandits is not as harsh as Jingzhou's.

But there are basic policies. "Any hijacked passenger ship that has indeed lost its cargo will be exempted from docking tax for half a year.

If the water thief can be killed or captured, a corresponding reward will be given based on the water thief's situation.

Of course, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes, the government also stipulated that if someone cheats, he will be punished three times according to the law.

"When we send people to follow them to check, we will reward them." Xiacheng County Magistrate said, "I just don't know what Mr. Chen will do next..."

"Next we will take the land route." Chen Linzhi suggested, "Master Fan, I hope you can send more good soldiers. It's best to go there now."

After all, the other party may be a remnant of Southern Chu, and their purpose is just to prevent food and grass from being transported to the front line. "If you act quickly now, you may be able to get the food and grass back."

Mr. Fan, the magistrate of Xiacheng County, was also sensible and didn't ask them why they didn't bring the official ship back. If something like this happened, it would be good to escape.

So the county magistrate of Xiacheng didn't waste much time and immediately sent people to follow the captains of the two passenger ships to retrieve the food and grass on site.

As for himself, it was not easy to receive Chen Linzhi at this time, so he could only let the side officials accompany him and let the two families settle in the city.

Since family members of officials can stay at the government inn for free, and the inn is safer than many outdoor inns, so as long as they do not enter the city...

They will stop at the inn.

Although there were so many of them that the government inn rooms on several occasions could not accommodate them, they basically stopped as soon as they saw the inn.

Now that they entered the city, although there were inns provided to them, they still chose the inn. After all, the Chen family invited the Lu family to accompany them.

It was not very kind to live in an inn while the Lu family stayed in an inn, so they found the largest inn in the city and stayed there.

"Don't leave in a hurry. We'll re-plan the route later and fix it today." After all, we just encountered something that almost killed us, so we need to rest both physically and mentally.

Mr. Chen took the lead in saying this, and everyone naturally followed suit and entered the inn one after another.

But just when Chu Qingge and Lu Siming entered the room, Butler Yan came to see them, "Young Master, Young Madam, I've invited you."
