After all, with this County Magistrate in charge, providing intel and information, there was naturally no way anything could go wrong.
Moreover.
Anytime the court had news of a crackdown on these water bandits, the County Magistrate would always relay the news ahead of time to those bandits, letting them lay low and hide in advance.
That's also why.
The court had sent people to wipe out these water bandits more than once.
Yet almost every time, they never even caught sight of the bandits' shadows.
They simply assumed it was because there were too many of them, never realizing there was a turncoat County Magistrate on their own side.
But this time.
He'd already tipped off the water bandits, told them the imperial boats would be passing through, told them to lay low and hide, thinking things would go smoothly as always, no problems whatsoever.
But the result?
Who knows if the bandits lost their minds or what.
They actually dared to attack the imperial boats head-on.
