After asking this question, Shen Wansan remained silent. The question was foolish, but he had to ask it or he would not be able to explain himself later. Although he understood in his heart, if Chen Jiusi did not say it out loud, it would be difficult for him to relay it, as there would inevitably be discrepancies.
Thinking this way, Shen Wansan looked towards Chen Jie, needing Chen Jie's answer directly.
Chen Jie was momentarily surprised, then quickly replied, "Haha, Mr. Shen already knows the answer in his heart, doesn't he? But since Mr. Shen wants to ask, I must respond to Mr. Shen."
"Mianshui County suffers greatly from the bandit troubles, and the arrogance of the Zoroastrian Sect is extremely high. We in Mianshui are determined to eradicate the bandits. As for the river opening, the matter can only wait until the bandit troubles are resolved. As for when the bandit troubles will end?"
