Yan Hongxin was stunned, because he understood that what Xiao Xiantang said was right, suppressing smuggling, collecting evidence, reporting to the court, and then waiting for the court to suppress it was indeed a way, but the people's riots that occurred later were also inevitable, because the people didn't know what smuggling was not smuggling, they only knew that if they didn't do it, smuggling would not work, it would be equivalent to cutting off their way of life, and they would starve to death, so I am afraid that in the eyes of the people at this time, the court is a demon who sucks their blood, and these officials who smuggle with them are Bodhisattvas.

"Master Xiao thinks, what should we do at this time?" Yan Hongxin muttered.

Xiao Xiantang frowned: "Unless the sea ban is lifted, everything we do is wrong." ”

"That ......"

"General Yan, if the country wants to prosper, you can't be without business, most of the people over there won't understand this truth, all we have to do is wait, wait until the right time, and do the right thing." Xiao Xiantang comforted, but everyone understands that with the situation of the Dasheng Dynasty at this time, it is impossible to lift the sea ban in a short period of time.

Yan Hongxin saw that Xiao Xiantang didn't plan to mix, and he didn't want to force it anymore, so he sent the two away with a wry smile.

When the two ships separated, Mu Chonglan blew a wet and cold sea breeze, and asked Xiao Xiantang with some curiosity: "Why didn't you agree to help him just now?" ”

"Why should I help him?" Xiao Xiantang asked rhetorically.

Mu Chonglan thought about it, she would ask that because she knew Xiao Xiantang too well, Xiao Xiantang was definitely just shirking, not really unable to do it, so she didn't understand a little, this Yan Hongxin is not a bad person, these people are not smuggling, isn't it a good thing to help Yan Hongxin crack down on these smugglers?

Why did Xiao Xiantang refuse?

"Because, he looks, pitiful." Mu Chonglan nodded and said, she really thought that Yan Hongxin's appearance just now looked pitiful, after all, such a burly person, begged Xiao Xiantang's head, but was rejected by Xiao Xiantang, and sent them away with a wry smile, how pitiful it was.

"Help him, it's time for me to be pitiful." Xiao Xiantang said without hesitation.

Mu Chonglan "ah" for a moment, with a confused look,

"What's more......" Xiao Xiantang wanted to speak and stopped.

Mu Chonglan immediately asked, "What's more?" ”

"Besides, I'm short of money." Xiao Xiantang said it as a matter of course.

Mu Chonglan: "......"

Mu Chonglan said secretly, she almost forgot that he, Xiao Xiantang, was actually not a good law-abiding official, she actually expected him to punish adultery and eliminate evil, it was really ......

"It's no wonder that they are just tossing these little movements under their own noses." Mu Chonglan muttered.

"Yes, but there must always be a scapegoat when something happens, so let's keep these things for the time being, and when I earn almost enough, I will hand them over and change my career." Xiao Xiantang said lightly.

Mu Chonglan's eyes widened, and he didn't know for a while whether to say that Xiao Xiantang was despicable or that Xiao Xiantang was smart, and finally simply patted his head: "Could this be what the master said about the wicked and the wicked have their own wicked grinding?" ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Xiantang's face was 'fierce', and he reached out to pinch Mu Chonglan's cheeks.

Mu Chonglan shrunk his neck and explained inarticulately, "No...... Nothing, I grind my teeth, I didn't say anything. ”

"That's pretty much it." Xiao Xiantang let go of Mu Chonglan's cheek, looked at her and looked at her appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

Mu Chonglan looked at him laughing, and couldn't help but laugh too, and secretly thought in his heart, if Xiao Xiantang had always been like this, he could laugh unscrupulously, how good it would be.

Coming back from the sea, Mu Chonglan was busy with the matter of bartering by the sea, and at the same time was busy rooting her Superb Shop and Zuixiao Lou in the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture, in addition, she also moved some careful thinking about doing other business, but this kind of careful thinking is only careful thinking after all, and she is still just thinking about it, and she is really doing it.

Therefore, in his spare time, Mu Chonglan planted medicines and flowers to make spices, and occasionally followed Xiao Xiantang to learn a little "Tongtianlu", of course, "Tongtianlu" is not easy to learn, some of the truths that are easy to understand in Xiao Xiantang's opinion are simply heavenly books in Mu Chonglan's opinion, and she doesn't understand them at all, so she followed the study for several days, and in the end she learned only a few, and they were all some unused methods of marching and arranging formations, which really made her cry and laugh.

Could it be that she could still organize all the flower farmers and women and children under her command to fight?

It's impossible to think about it, so after a toss, Mu Chonglan only thought that he had learned in vain.

"The one who teaches you is not the one who makes you doze off."

"Mu Chonglan, you use dim sum to take one-tenth of your mind to learn swordsmanship, and you have already memorized it backwards."

"Mu Chonglan, you...... Forget it, you can do whatever you like. Xiao Xiantang angrily dropped the brush in his hand and was about to go out.

Mu Chonglan saw that Xiao Xiantang was really annoyed, and hurriedly flew over and hugged him from behind.

"Mu Chonglan, do you want to murder your husband?" Xiao Xiantang said with some annoyance.

You must know that Mu Chonglan's internal strength at this time is strong, and this collision almost broke Xiao Xiantang's waist.

Mu Chonglan was a little embarrassed, and didn't know whether to hold it or let go immediately for a while, just when she hesitated, Yan Shoucai came over, and when he saw the two of them entangled, he didn't even jump his eyelids, and he didn't see any embarrassment, as if he saw two people standing side by side, and he was not surprised.

However, Mu Chonglan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly let go of Xiao Xiantang's waist, and hid behind the door, only showing two eyes to look at Yan Shoucai.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Xiantang's tone was not good, and he was somewhat angry.

Yan Shoucai disagreed: "Something happened over there in Dadu. ”

"Something's wrong? What kind of thing is it? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that when the prince was choosing a concubine, a flying meteorite fell from a farmer's house in the suburbs, and a seven-star totem was painted on it, implying that the emperor star belonged to something else, not the prince Xiao Jingxuan."

"Shoddy tricks." Xiao Xiantang sneered disdainfully.

Yan Shoucai nodded: "Who said no, but some people looked ugly and poked this thing out, and they also said that many natural and man-made disasters in recent years are mostly related to the prince Xiao Jingxuan, so rumors about the prince are unknown, and they are circulating in the market." ”

"What's the reaction of the others?" Xiao Xiantang asked.

Yan Shoucai sneered: "What else can you react, naturally they took advantage of the chaos and supported their respective princes." ”

Although it is very irrational to support the princes who support each other at this time, the position of the crown prince Xiao Jingxuan is too stable, if he doesn't take the risk, the next time he encounters this kind of opportunity, I don't know when it will be.
