Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Way of Officials

"Jiang Heng, put away the sword." Mu Chengfeng gave Jiang Heng a look, although Jiang Heng was dissatisfied with Zhao Hengzhi in his heart, he could only do it obediently.

Zhao Hengzhi smiled again: "Hehe, besides, Mu Gongzi has just married the delicate beauty of the moon and the princess, so it is unlikely that he will do anything to be sorry for the princess." ”

After listening to Mu Chengfeng, he realized that Fang Cai was too worried, a simple-minded person like Zhao Hengzhi would not think of such a deep thing at all, and Zhao Hengzhi only seemed to be worried about whether his wife Yao Yuran would betray him.

Mu Chengfeng's thin lips lightly said: "Lord Zhao, you really have a deep affection for Yu Ran, as you said, although Yu Ran and I are like-minded, but unfortunately we have no fate, and I only think she is a confidant." ”

Confidante ...... When Zhao Hengzhi heard Mu Chengfeng's words, he felt that one head and two big, since ancient times, how many confidants have been the kind of woman who can't ask for it so reluctantly to get such a name. In other words, Mu Chengfeng still has a plan for Yao Yuran, but he has a color heart but no color guts.

"Hehe, I'm not such a small-bellied person, but red powder is red powder, and I hope Mu Gongzi can distinguish which women can want and which women can't." Zhao Hengzhi is ringing the alarm bell for Mu Chengfeng, hoping that he will not covet his wife.

"By the way, Lord Zhao, I heard that Lord Zhao recently solved a case, rescued many innocent children, and eradicated Wang and Fang, two big pests, for the people of Micheng. A good official like Lord Zhao who loves the people like a son, Yao Yuran is also a blessing to be able to marry Lord Zhao. ”

Mu Chengfeng also took the opportunity to pat Zhao Hengzhi's ass, he didn't want Zhao Hengzhi to mind too much about the relationship between him and Yao Yuran, he only hoped that Zhao Hengzhi could cherish Yao Yuran.

After Zhao Hengzhi was praised by Mu Chengfeng, he also changed his opinion of Mu Chengfeng slightly, and his little tail was also cocked, and a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes, and said: "Mu Gongzi, I just did what I could, since I put on an official uniform, I have to ask for my life for the people." ”

Hearing this, Mu Chengfeng couldn't help but think of his grandfather Mu Zhanhong once said to him that to be an official is to love the people like a son, enforce the law like a mountain, and ask for the people's lives.

Mu Chengfeng's thin lips were pursed, and he said with a dignified attitude: "Lord Zhao, you are right, as an official, you should enforce the law like a mountain, guard yourself like a jade, love the people like a son, and go to the beetle like an enemy." Only when the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, then they are worthy of this official uniform! ”

Speaking of this, Mu Chengfeng paused, as soon as he mentioned these, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, if it weren't for the existence of those traitors and thieves, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, his Mu family would not have fallen to the end of being beheaded by the whole family. He only hopes that one day he can rehabilitate the Mu family and make those corrupt officials pay for what they have done.

Mu Chengfeng sighed a lot, and continued to speak: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, if the official uses the power in his hands to oppress the people, then the people are also likely to rise up to resist, how many dynasties, corrupt officials are in power, and the faint monarch is incompetent, so he ends up with a ruined country!" ”

Zhao Hengzhi heard Mu Chengfeng's high-minded talk, and also had some epiphany about the way of being an official, before, it was just to deal with Yao Yuran who came to this rice city, and had to buy an official and wanted to make a living.

But after coming to Micheng, he found that the people of Micheng were living in dire straits. Zhao Hengzhi couldn't get over it on his conscience, so he worked with Yao Yuran to work for the people of Micheng, just hoping to let the people of Micheng live a happy and worry-free life as soon as possible.

Now, they've done it.

"Mu Gongzi, I understand what you said, I, Zhao Hengzhi, am by no means the kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I will continue to work for the people of Micheng and let them enjoy peace in this land." Zhao Hengzhi swore solemnly.

"Well, Mu Chengfeng also wishes Lord Zhao a great achievement." Mu Chengfeng is colorful.

But Zhao Hengzhi waved his hand and said: "No, I just want to be a little sesame official, the bigger this official, the greater the responsibility on my shoulders, I, my ambition is shallow, I just want to be in this corner, so it's good." ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, Lord Zhao has his own ideas, and Mu will not persuade anyone more." Mu Chengfeng hooked his lips and smiled.

"Bang!" At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of a gong outside.

Zhao Hengzhi and Mu Chengfeng walked out of the house at the same time, only to see Yao Yuran holding a gong in his hand and beating it vigorously.

"Lady, what are you doing here?" Zhao Hengzhi looked at her puzzled.

"I'm banging the gong to tell you to eat, you don't mean that men and women don't kiss, I'm embarrassed to walk in, so I have to do this." Yao Yuran spoke eloquently, and slammed the gong in his hand again.

"Okay, next time you want to shout for dinner, ask Xingyu to invite you, and you have to bother the lady to be so excited......" Zhao Hengzhi knew that Yao Yuran was deliberately trying to get along with him, and he was also complaining about him.

"Hmph, I'm going to hit the gong!" Yao Yuran snorted.

Zhao Hengzhi was helpless, so he had to nod again and again, at this time, Ye Junjun and Chu Xiao also walked in from the back door of the yamen, as soon as Ye Junjun saw Mu Chengfeng in white clothes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly exclaimed: "Wow, I haven't seen a beautiful man for a long time, Mu Gongzi, I didn't expect you to come to Micheng too!" ”

Ye Junjun used to treat Mu Chengfeng and Zhao Hengzhi as a pair, but now, she decided that Zhao Hengzhi and Yao Yuran were a good match, and she also turned around from the road of rotten girls.

"Junjun, aren't I also a beautiful man? Look at me too. Chu Xiao's words were a little jealous, but he couldn't help but glance at Mu Chengfeng a few more times, I have to say that Mu Chengfeng still has a bit of a posture, this kind of little white face with red lips and white teeth is the most pleasing to women.

"Eat Chinese cabbage every day, no matter how delicious it is, you will get tired!" Ye Junjun smiled lightly, she could also see that Chu Xiao was jealous, but she just wanted to deliberately stimulate him.

When Chu Xiao heard this, he was really angry, and turned his head away.

Yao Yuran couldn't help but laugh when he saw their happy couple, and couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering, but Zhao Hengzhi stabbed Yao Yuran's arm with his arm, and he said, "Lady, I'm hungry, let's go eat." ”

It's a pig! Yao Yuran glanced at him angrily, so he had to say, "Then don't you go to dinner quickly!" Zhao Hengzhi followed behind Yao Yuran, and several of them also came to the kitchen.

There are several dishes on the kitchen table, including braised fish, eggplant with minced meat, a plate of fried vegetables and a large plate of pumpkin pie.

"This is the fish that Lu Hai caught from the river today, it is very big and fresh!" Yao Yuran smiled lightly.

"Lady, you obviously did it on purpose, today Mu Chengfeng came, you deliberately asked Lu Hai to go to the river to catch fish, and that pumpkin, two days ago I wanted you to make pumpkin porridge, you were reluctant to pick the pumpkin, and said that you would wait for the pumpkin to grow up......" Zhao Hengzhi said in pieces on the side, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction with Mu Chengfeng.

Yao Yuran glared at him and said sharply: "Now that the pumpkin has just grown, I picked it, is it also wrong?" If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it! ”

"Woo woo, the kissing lady is so partial, and the husband's heart hurts!" Zhao Hengzhi moaned on the side again, wanting to win Yao Yuran's sympathy, but Yao Yuran treated him as if he didn't see him.

Yao Yuran smiled lightly at Mu Chengfeng and said, "Mu Gongzi, Micheng is a small county town, not as good as the capital, these dishes are a little cold, you can eat them." ”

"No, these dishes smell good and make people very appetizing, and I am very satisfied. By the way, which of these dishes was made by Yu Ran? Mu Chengfeng asked, his gaze falling tightly on these colorful dishes.

"Hmph, stop talking, don't sit down to eat yet." Zhao Hengzhi snorted coldly, as if since Mu Chengfeng came, this Yao Yuran didn't look at him squarely.

The more Zhao Hengzhi thought about it, the more angry he became, he took a bowl of rice and pulled it up in a big gulp.

"Hey, I made the pumpkin pie with my own hands." Yao Yuran ignored Zhao Hengzhi's dissatisfaction, but still answered Mu Chengfeng's question.

Mu Chengfeng also sat down and served a bowl of rice, he raised a pair of chopsticks, and aimed at the plate of pumpkin pie. However, Mu Chengfeng's chopsticks hadn't had time to touch the pumpkin pie, but Zhao Hengzhi took the pumpkin pie one step ahead of him.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chengfeng had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and prepare to pick up another dish, wanting to clip that plate of braised fish, but Zhao Hengzhi deliberately took the whole plate of braised fish away.

"I like to pour braised fish juice into the rice, tsk, that's called a fragrant!" Zhao Hengzhi maliciously made trouble, and really poured brown fish juice on the rice of Baihuahua.

"Beware of getting stuck in a fish bone!" Yao Yuran suddenly cursed viciously.

Zhao Hengzhi's scalp was numb when he heard this, and his back was like a cold wind blowing through him, so he had to put the plate of braised fish back in its place.

Mu Chengfeng was greatly reduced by Zhao Hengzhi's deliberate opposition three times and twice, so he had to bow his head and eat the rice in the bowl, and no longer used his hands to pick up vegetables.

Yao Yuran saw that Mu Chengfeng didn't have any dishes in the bowl, just ate a few bites of rice, and couldn't help but feel a little upset, so Yao Yuran picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and sandwiched a few pieces of eggplant and a piece of pumpkin pie for Mu Chengfeng.

"Brother Chengfeng, don't patronize and eat, you have to eat the dishes." Yao Yuran whispered softly.

Mu Chengfeng glanced at Yao Yuran gratefully, he lowered his head and took a bite of the eggplant, only to feel that this eggplant was exceptionally delicious, tender and juicy.

"Humph! What's so great, this master can also pick up the vegetables by himself, and he can do it himself! Zhao Hengzhi said disdainfully.
