Chapter 121: Friend or Foe

Mo Xiaofei had joys and worries in his heart, the joy was that Du Bangyue did not push back, and directly agreed to the marriage, but the worry was that the name was not right, he became a relative a year ago, and the wedding could not be held.

As a man, Mo Xiaofei is not particular, but women are different, marriage is the most important thing in life, no sloppiness, who doesn't want to walk the streets in the scenery and announce that they have found a lifelong home.

Mo Xiaofei felt very guilty in his heart, it was because of this incident, so it was not appropriate to show off, it was impossible for Ming Media to marry, at most invite a few friends who wanted to be good to set up two tables.

Du Bangyue's room was next door to Mo Xiaofei, Mo Xiaofei personally cleaned it up and helped Du Bangyue in.

"How's that, it's okay."

Du Wanyue nodded, the room layout is exceptionally refreshing, sitting north and facing south also allows the room to attract more sunlight during the day, but it is also very comfortable, the tables, chairs and beds are all brand new, shining with sunlight.

"Well, I like it very much, Xie Lu, thank you Xiaofei, but can I still sell steamed buns every morning."

Du Bangyue did not fully accept this marriage in her heart, there is no marriage with process and only results, can this count, although the two have registered and pressed their fingerprints on the county government's marriage book last year, they always feel that there is something separated by a layer.

Mo Xiaofei naturally didn't want Du Wanyue to continue to work hard, and said, "Don't sell it, if someone comes up to check, you have to have something to say, stay in the county government according to the rules, and go out to buy things during the day, don't worry about the silver, you can do as much as you want." ”

Du Bangyue didn't want to change her lifestyle, and diligence was a habit she had developed since she was a child.

Du Bangyue said, "Xiaofei, to be honest, I can't adapt to this kind of unreal family affair for the time being, I want to do nothing, eat yours and use yours, I can't accept it in my heart, I still want to support myself, I can support myself." ”

Mo Xiaofei looked at Du Wanyue so resolutely, and she was no longer reluctant, she was already very reluctant when this happened.

Mo Xiaofei suddenly thought of a better solution, which could not only allow Du Bangyue to meet her own values, but also reassure herself of Du Bangyue's safety.

Mo Xiaofei said, "Bang Yue, there are more than 30 people in the county government, they eat out every day, Lang spends a lot of silver, and the county government just lacks a person to cook, or this errand will be handed over to you, and the county government will give you fifteen taels of silver every month." ”

Du Bangyue still felt satisfied when she heard this method, but there was one thing she had to say, "Xiaofei, what I am best at is making steamed buns, but I can't eat steamed buns for three meals a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to make other dishes." ”

Can this also be considered a problem, Mo Xiaofei said, "You are now a dignified county lady, no matter what kind of food you cook, they don't dare to be picky, just be bold and do it." ”

Du Bangyue didn't say anything, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out her hand to brush the surface of the bed, trying the comfort and softness of the bed, but her expression was still a little dazed, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking in her heart.

Mo Xiaofei said softly, "Bang Yue, are you still thinking about this family business, this matter has wronged you, don't think about anything more, I will take care of you for nothing." ”

Du Bangyue smiled faintly and shook her head, "Xiaofei, since I promised you, I don't regret this matter, what I think in my heart is my father, who died in battle, and I didn't even send a corpse back to Wuxian after the last death, someone from the Luo army came, saying that because my father killed a general of Xiaorong Kingdom, the body was dragged away by the people of Xiaorong Country after death, whenever I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable......"

As she spoke, Du Wanyue secretly wept, looking very pitiful.

Mo Xiaofei thought that it was because of her father Du Dayong, who died since she was a child, and her father also died in battle a few years ago, and she didn't even see a corpse after the worst death, Du Bangyue has lived with her own hands in the past few years, but it is not easy.

"I'll protect you." is still the same sentence, which came out of Mo Xiaofei's mouth at this time, and there was a change from the previous relationship.

Du Wanyue looked at Mo Xiaofei, as if she suddenly thought of something, and said, "Xiaofei, as a magistrate, you may be able to become a bigger official in the future, is there a way to check my father's death at that time." ”

Mo Xiaofei moved a stool and sat in front of Du Bangyue, how could Du Bangyue's statement be a little weird, Mo Xiaofei said, "Could it be that your father's death has another hidden meaning?" ”

Du Wanyue nodded, this matter had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and she had never mentioned it to anyone.

It's useless to mention it, she has no power and no power, and she will only cause big trouble.

Du Bangyue told Mo Xiaofei that among the people who went to the battlefield with her father at that time, there was a middle-aged man who had a very good relationship with her father.

Du Bangyue saw that this person had something unspeakable, but Du Bangyue's heart was very anxious, and she kept asking, but she was still asked by Du Bangyue about some hidden secrets.

Daddy actually doesn't have to die, Xiaorong and Daqing have been at war for many years, but the scale is not large, both sides have not completely torn their faces, and the territory of the two countries has not retreated and forced forward.

Du Dayong is also really a little unlucky, in the chaos to see the enemy desperately, who knows whether the other party is a general or a soldier, just like this, Du Dayong inadvertently killed a deputy general of Xiaorongguo, the situation has been uncontrollable, constantly expanding the war.

At that time, there was a famous general in the Luo army, in order to settle the dispute here, not only privately sent silver to Xiao Rongguo, but also secretly killed Du Dayong and handed over his body to Xiao Rongguo......

Du Bangyue took out a handkerchief and stroked the tears on her face, her father did not die in the war with the enemy, but was killed by the generals of the Great Qing Kingdom, how can Du Bangyue accept this fact.

Mo Xiaofei heard this outrageous story, clenched his fists, and said angrily, "This damn guy! Killing one's own people, taking credit for disappearing the war, he actually did such a thing that was inferior to a beast! It's time to cut the general in the Luo army with a thousand cuts! ”

Mo Xiaofei's hand was placed on Du Bangyue's shoulder, pinched it gently, and said, "Bangyue, don't cry, your business is my business, your father's death, I will definitely find a way to find out the truth and seek justice for your father!" ”

Du Bangyue was a little excited, threw herself into Mo Xiaofei's arms, and cried loudly, the grievances in her heart were finally completely released today.

The governor yamen received an official letter from the Chengzhou government, and a few days later he sent a servant to investigate Mo Xiaofei's situation.

Mo Xiaofei married Du Bangyue of the Du family last year, and Du Bangyue's father died in battle, and the Luo army reported to the Ministry of War, giving Du Dayong the honor of a special contribution.

Since he is a family, Mo Xiaofei has entered the official career with this identity, so naturally there is no problem at all.

The governor arrived at Chengzhou Mansion with an official document, and Lu Renyi found Su Maolin, and the bureau set up this time was in vain.

Lu Renyi was very angry, he reported this matter to the governor Zuo Yingquan, Zuo Yingquan was very happy to hear it, and just waited for the result to attack Wang Liancheng.

Who would have expected that the final result would be like this, Mo Xiaofei had no problem at all.

Lu Renyi reprimanded, "Su Tongzhi, is this the result of your investigation, yes, you said it wildly at the time, but you ignored one of the biggest problems, that is, Mo Xiaofei's marriage match, which has already startled the snake, in my opinion, the governor will be more careful in the future, and will find the right opportunity to deal with us." ”

Yes, Wang Liancheng now has no capital to deal with Zuo Yingquan, so he naturally starts with Lu Renyi.

When Su Maolin heard this, he felt a chill, he really ignored an important piece of information, so he reviewed it himself, "Lord Prefect, this matter is the fault of the lower officials, please forgive your sins." ”

Lu Renyi accentuated his tone, "Forgiveness? I can forgive your sins, so how can the Governor-General forgive me! Either you shut your stinky mouth before and poked something out, and you have to ask this house to wipe your ass for you! ”

Su Maolin didn't dare to say anything more, relying on Lu Renyi's scolding.

Lu Renyi was tired of scolding, and seeing that Su Maolin's attitude of admitting his mistakes was also very good, he sat down.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Renyi said, "Su Tongzhi, there is natural hot water in Wuluo Mountain, this matter has spread, I heard that the matter has also spread to the capital, the people above are very interested, you pay attention to this matter, once there is any trouble, report to me immediately, maybe there will be Shangguan from the capital to our Chengzhou Mansion." ”

Lu Renyi is very attentive to the affairs of officialdom, once he finds something that can come in handy, he will go to study one or two, for example, Zuo Yingquan came to Liangluo, he got on Zuo Yingquan's boat, Lu Renyi knows very well the changes in officialdom, he has to ensure that he has a life to live, in order to continue to enjoy power.

Su Maolin said puzzledly, "Lord Prefect, according to the lower officials, will this be a rumor, one spread ten or ten, spread the taste all over, the lower officials have never heard that water can be hot without fire." ”

Lu Renyi said, "There are no wonders in the world of the Great Thousand Worlds, you don't know the Dao, it doesn't mean that this is not true, go and investigate first, we understand clearly, and then we can explain it to the coming officials." ”

The matter of the hot springs was finally confirmed, and Wuxian, Baiqu County, and even Chengzhou Prefecture sent people to investigate, but at this time, Gu Feng, who Mo Xiaofei always thought was a friend of officialdom, was the first to jump out and stand on the opposite side of Mo Xiaofei.

Maybe there are no friends in the officialdom, and there are only interests.

The reason why Gu Feng continued to help Mo Xiaofei was to let Mo Xiaofei know the affection he had given, this affection had to be repaid, once Mo Xiaofei was developed, he couldn't forget Gu Feng.

But now, Mo Xiaofei has woken up, the so-called friends in the officialdom, that is here and there.

Hot springs have appeared, just in Wuluo Mountain, which can be used as a territorial management, Wuluo Mountain is across Wuxian County and Baiqu County, and the mountain can never be divided into two, and the contradiction arises at this time.
