Chapter 318: First Arrival in Longtong County

"This is Longtong County?"

Su Chengmo nodded: "Hmm." ”

"I look here, why aren't there anybody?" Mu Chonglan tilted her head, and at this time she was wearing a heavy veil, leaving only a pair of smart eyes to turn around.

Su Chengmo nodded again: "Most of the people here live by working in the salt drying field, and many people simply live near the drying field, so that most of the people in the county are old and weak, women and children, and there are often pirates who come ashore to fight the autumn wind, so unless it is necessary, there are not many people who go out here." ”

"When you say that, I understand." Mu Chonglan secretly thought that at first she thought that this Longtong County would be very prosperous, because it was a gathering place for maritime merchants, but now it seems that she took it for granted, after all, smuggling does not seem to be on the table. "Originally, I wanted to open a shop here, so I have to take the time to go to the state capital to have a look, but fortunately, it is not far away, and I can go back and forth in half a day."

"Miss."

"Huh?"

"The normal foot journey is a day and a half, and the fast horse whip is a day and a night, you better pay attention." Su Chengmo reminded.

Mu Chonglan "tsk" for a while, only to realize that half a day was just her own footsteps, she had strong internal strength, and she did not take rugged detours or official roads, but walked directly from the top of the hillside and cliff, which really only took half a day. "You're right, I've got to hide something."

Mu Chonglan secretly thought that he was only extremely powerful externally, but he had no internal strength, although the emperor was far away now, it was better to be careful.

"If you think so, it couldn't be better." After Su Chengmo finished speaking, he frowned again: "My uncle was arranged here to be a county magistrate this time, presumably there must be a calculation in it, after all, this side is close to the sea, and I am afraid that if there is any problem, it will be the most likely to be affected." ”

"Well, Emperor Sheng wants him dead." Mu Chonglan said.

Su Chengmo gasped: "Miss, it's not good to talk nonsense. ”

"I didn't talk nonsense, these are what Xiao Xiantang told me." Mu Chonglan frowned and argued, they slept late at night, and Xiao Xiantang would occasionally say something to her, which is generally what it means.

Su Chengmo was speechless for a while, but she felt a little chilled, because in her opinion, Xiao Xiantang was not the kind of person who would casually talk about it, so maybe ...... Emperor Sheng really intended to trap Xiao Xiantang to death, and it was also a matter of course.

Just, why?

Su Chengmo's eyes rolled, and he thought to himself, could it be because Xiao Xiantang had a group of people in his hands who stabbed Emperor Sheng's side, so Emperor Sheng was afraid of Xiao Xiantang, so he "assigned" Xiao Xiantang here?

No, if Emperor Sheng really knew that Xiao Xiantang had a horse in his hands, he would definitely understand that once Xiao Xiantang was "assigned" here, it would be to let the tiger return to the mountain and find a rebellion for himself.

Therefore, Emperor Sheng probably didn't know that Xiao Xiantang had gathered a group of people in his hands, but he was afraid of Xiao Xiantang, but he couldn't directly cut Xiao Xiantang, so he tossed such a play.

Frowning, Su Chengmo couldn't figure out what Xiao Xiantang had done, it was worth Emperor Sheng's troubles, and in the end he could only give up first, after all, as long as Xiao Xiantang was not standing on the opposite side of Mu Chonglan, naturally the stronger the better, and it was more mysterious, but it was harmless.

Mu Chonglan saw that Su Chengmo was thinking about things, and he didn't bother her, he thought about how to open a branch in his heart, so he was speechless all the way, and finally came to the county government of Longtong County.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiantang secretly sneered, a good one is on the way to come, even if it is him, it is impossible to know that his immediate boss is coming, and he will not wait early, it can be seen that this county master and that master, nine times out of ten, did not take his newly transferred small county order in their eyes.

Perhaps, his initial guess was wrong, not all officials were involved in the smuggling of seafood, and there were exceptions, such as the county magistrate who died of an emergency in Longtong County in the previous term, which should not have been involved, and all of them would have suddenly become "emergency".

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is an uneven distribution of spoils, and that it may really be a sudden death.

However, these Xiao Xiantang don't plan to ponder, he is not a good person, he came to be a county magistrate, and by the way, he had to help the previous county magistrate avenge his grievances.

"In that case, the official will walk around, and when they come, let them wait in the county office." After Xiao Xiantang finished speaking, regardless of the dissuasion of the head catcher, he insisted on taking Mu Chonglan and the light car to the salt field in the name of walking around.

Because there is a salt drying field, Longtong County occupies a large area, some of the people in Longtong County rely on the sea to fish for a living, but more are working in the salt drying field, nearly thirty percent of the salt in Dasheng is from this side, and salt is a profiteering thing, so Xiao Xiantang understands that this Longtong County is afraid that there are not only people smuggling seafood, but also many people smuggling official salt.

"These people look a little pitiful." Mu Chonglan said to Xiao Xiantang, because along the way, she found that the people on the side of the salt drying field in Longtong County were similar to those people in Longtong County, they all had no spirit, like the walking dead, but the people in Longtong County were still dressed decently, and the people here were obviously not decent enough, and even some people were ragged and looked very downcast.

At this time, the two of them were in the same carriage, and they were both looking out of the window from the same window, so they were very close, so as soon as Mu Chonglan spoke, it was as if he was snorting at Xiao Xiantang's ears, and the tips of his ears were red. "Hmm."

"Xiao Xiantang, you are a good parent, right? Can you help them? Mu Chonglan asked again.

When Xiao Xiantang heard this, he immediately thought to himself why he wanted to do this, but seeing Mu Chonglan's kind eyes, he couldn't bear to break her illusion so much, so he said dryly: "I'll try my best." ”

"That's not right." Mu Chonglan suddenly found something, so he said.

Xiao Xiantang was puzzled: "What?" ”

"They ......," Mu Chonglan lightly pointed with his hand at several of the people who had gathered.

Xiao Xiantang squinted and found that among these ragged people, many of them were carrying weapons, these weapons were not necessarily knives, guns and sticks, but similar to some self-defense daggers or inconspicuous things next to them, and they were very tightly hidden.

"Don't point fingers, it's troublesome to be targeted." Xiao Xiantang stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Chonglan's fingers pointing at others, they don't have many people now, if there is a conflict, it is bound to be difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, not to mention that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, it is better to keep a low profile.
