Mo Linglan stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the Qi Wenfu leading Su Ruan to recognize the door, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he helped the little girl when he crossed the threshold, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, tired and crooked.

Mo Linglan directly reached out and grabbed Jinbao, who was carrying things inside.

"Lord Mo?"

Jinbao looked puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

Mo Linglan said to the two Nunu who were talking side by side: "What's the matter with the fourth master of your family and the little girl of the Su family?" ”

When he left the capital, the two of them still had a serious look of "I don't know you well" and "we are just friends".

That look, that talk.

If you want to say it's okay, the ghost will believe it.

Mo Linglan squeezed his eyes and whispered, "Is there a situation between them?" ”

Jin Bao grinned: "Yes, the fourth master and Miss Su have a good relationship, and when they return to Beijing, they may have to do a happy event, and Master Mo will have to prepare a congratulatory gift in advance." ”

"Really?" Mo Linglan's eyes widened.

Jin Bao smiled happily: "Of course it's true, my fourth master is even ready for the dowry." ”

Mo Linglan: "......"

Marry...... Trousseau?

Isn't it a dowry?!

"Mo Linglan!"

After Qi Wenfu accompanied Su Ruan to settle down, he turned his head and saw Mo Linglan climbing on Jinbao's shoulder, the two of them muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about, and Mo Linglan's expression was like a stupid chicken.

He raised his voice directly, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Mo Linglan hurriedly came back to his senses and raised his voice: "It's here!" ”

He walked forward quickly, wanting to ask about the dowry of Qi Wenfu, but seeing that Su Ruan was on the side, he still suppressed the curiosity in his heart like a cat's paw scratching, and followed the two into the room first.

After sitting down, Qi Wenfu asked, "Where do you and your eldest brother live now?" ”

Mo Linglan said: "I used to live on the crepe family's side in order to watch the crepe Longan, and the eldest brother lived in the inn, now that you are here, I will also move out and live in the post house with you." ”

Qi Wenfu hummed: "Let your eldest brother move over too, it's convenient for anything." ”

Mo Linglan thought about it, although this post house was not allowed to be entered by ordinary people, but Qi Wenfu opened his mouth, and for the sake of the case, they would not trouble them for this little thing, so he nodded and said:

"I'll tell my eldest brother later that he will take people out of the city, and it is estimated that he will not be back until tomorrow afternoon."

Su Ruan looked around, and after seeing Qi Wenfu and Mo Linglan finish speaking, he walked back and sat aside, "Brother Mo, can I ask you something." When you lived in Crepe's house before, did you pay attention to Crepe Longan? ”

Mo Linglan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Su Ruan said: "Do you think he may have something to do with the matter behind the Bo family, and is it possible that he did it on purpose in this conflict between the government and those people?" ”

Mo Linglan understood what Su Ruan meant, and shook his head directly: "It's impossible." ”

Su Ruan was curious.

Qi Wenfu also looked at him: "So sure? ”

Mo Linglan said: "After the accident that day, I actually had this suspicion, so the doctor who treated Xuan Longan was my eldest brother. ”

"He has seen it for Crepe Longan, the injuries on his body are real, and he is indeed frightened and fainted, and even after waking up, he has been chattering for several days, and he carries people with him wherever he goes, for fear that someone will harm him."

"I've been staying in Jingnan since the New Year, and I know a little bit about Crepe Longan."

"He has a lot of eyes and is greedy for money, but he is very timid, he is particularly greedy for life and afraid of death, and the reason why he was able to sit in the position of Jingnan Zhizhou is to catch ducks on the shelves."

After Su Xuanmin's accident, the Jingnan government had to redeploy officials.

But at that time, Jingnan had just suffered a natural disaster, and was besieged by the Southern Wei Dynasty, and after a big battle, the corpses were all over the field and full of devastation.

Even if the epidemic was controlled, the imperial court also reissued part of the disaster relief money and food afterwards, but it was a drop in the bucket for the poor people of Jingnan who even gnawed the bark at that time.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the hungry people are no different from madmen.

At that time, Jingnan was a hot potato, even if the official position of the governor was not low and he had real power, but no one was willing to come to Jingnan if he had a little background or a relationship.

At that time, he was an official elsewhere, and his political performance was quite good, and it just so happened that the official assessment was enough to be promoted.

Jingnan lacks a governor, and there is no one to adjust.

It just so happened that the folds on both sides were sent to the saint together, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty didn't know how to directly call Crepe Longan to take over Su Xuanmin's position, and Crepe Longan became the governor of Jingnan in a daze.

Mo Linglan said: "Since he became the governor of Jingnan, he has never interacted with anyone in the court, and in the first two years, when Jingnan was poor and gnawed land, every time he sent to the capital to ask for silver, he was stuck by the household, and one or two responses out of ten times were good. ”

"At that time, Jingnan was poor and couldn't open the pot, and everyone pointed to the newly appointed Zhizhou of Crepe Longan."

"But he is also poor, the silver given by the imperial court is not enough to make up for the gap in Jingnan, he has no choice but to take the people of the government to secretly do business, and buy the goods urgently needed in the Southern Wei Dynasty from other places without the official silver in the treasury of the imperial court, and privately transport them out of the customs and sell them to the merchants of the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"Then I made the money and exchanged it for food, seeds, and some things that Jingnan urgently needed to come back, and sell them to the people here at a low price, so that Jingnan could survive the most difficult two years."

"Crepe Long An Danfan has a slight relationship with the Bo family, and he has a little connection in Beijing, how can he be like this."

Privately trading with Southern Wei is a forbidden thing.

Once it is found out, it will be lost, and if it is really related to the people behind the Bo family, he is afraid that he will go to a rich place a long time ago, or go to the capital as an official, how can he come to pick up the mess of Jingnan?

Mo Linglan says:

"When one of those people who had been to the capital before died unexpectedly, Xuan Longan was scared."

"This time, he wants to put the blame for the conflict on those who fled, I'm afraid he is just afraid that he will take responsibility himself, after all, Jingnan's side is very sensitive, and it involves the royal family and the Bo family."

"One is not good, that is dead."

Su Ruan was surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Qi Wenfu.

Looking at that Ye Ping before, he pushed the fault of the conflict on those people in Jingnan, and especially exaggerated the injuries of Crepe Longan, looking like she was going to be directly convicted, she thought that there was something wrong with this Jingnan Zhizhou.

But now it seems that this crepe Longan really doesn't seem to have anything to do with An Di and others.

Emperor An and those people around him acted unscrupulously and without any lower limit, so that they could ignore the life and death of the people of Jingnan for the sake of the troops, turn natural disasters into man-made disasters, and let Jingnan starve all over the land, and corpses were everywhere.

But Crepe Longan was obviously pushed into a position that others didn't want, but for the sake of the people, he could take the risk of trading with the Southern Wei Dynasty in exchange for food, seeds and silver money to alleviate the plight of Jingnan, which is essentially different from Emperor An.

Even if Xuan Longan is greedy for money, shrewd, and timid and afraid of taking responsibility, he will not be so bad that he will lose his conscience.

In a way, Crepe Longan can be regarded as an extremely rare good official.
