Chapter 1246: Puzzlement
In the past few years, there had been natural disasters in many regions. But because Great Qi had income from the sea trade and high-yielding grains, whenever a natural disaster happened in a certain region, the Emperor would reduce taxes and send people to help out the affected citizens.
At the very least, one could borrow grains from the Imperial Court for the time being, and only had to pay a small amount of interest at the end of the year. Therefore, in the Great Qi Dynasty, other than the northern and western lands that had just been reclaimed, there should be very few people who were truly starving.
Moreover, this was Jiangnan, which had always been prosperous. Merely three to four days away from the capital, the lives of the people in Jiangnan were pretty good, much like those living in the capital and the nearby cities. How could there be bandits under such circumstances?
Because they had just experienced an assassination, Little Bear felt that there were too many spies left in Great Qi from other countries. It was hard to guarantee that these bandits were innocent.
Little Bear took the telescope from Little Treasure’s hand and looked at it. "The fighting has stopped. Let’s go down and take a look."
Hearing this, the guards blocked in front of him and said, "Your Highness, it’s too dangerous down there. Besides, we don’t know who’s leading the troops. What if..."
"I didn’t know who was leading the troops previously, but I know now." Little Bear circled around the guard and said loudly as he walked down, "He was once my father’s subordinate."
Little Treasure also saw Fei Bai riding on a horse in the distance. Smiling at the guards, he said, "He’s your commander’s younger brother."
