"What's going on with fake pirates?" Xiao Xiantang asked, he now knows very well that most of those who dot up and down are the group of maritime merchants, at least at the beginning, how many officials' relatives have become maritime merchants, you can press the table first, so he just wants to know now, what is the situation of fake pirates.

"This ...... At the beginning, everyone was mutually beneficial, and there was no fake pirate thing, but then the sea was banned, and everyone became more and more cautious. Dou Xingzu explained dryly.

Xiao Xiantang sneered secretly when he heard this, this Dou Xingzu, he wanted to take himself out without knowing it, and he didn't want to think about it, if he didn't know, the pirate leader could bite him?

However, Dou Xingzu's guess is probably correct, the fake pirates at the beginning may really be made by the state capital for cover, but later everyone followed the example and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, so there were so many fake pirates coming out, so that there were not as many real pirates as there were fake pirates.

As for why the state government wanted to cover it up, Xiao Xiantang felt that someone might have made some small moves and wanted to raise some forces here, but it turned out to be self-defeating and created the situation in Yanzhou at this time, and he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After Dou Xingzu told the matter, Xiao Xiantang's attitude towards him suddenly changed a lot, patted him on the shoulder, and openly and secretly mentioned his own Yue family, that is, Mu Yuanshan had criticized Zhu on his behalf, Dou Xingzu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dripping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After appeasing Dou Xingzu, Xiao Xiantang lifted Zuo Hong out of prison again, and then the three of them drank a meal of wine as Xiao Xiantang did when he first came to office, and after he woke up, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong heard the news that the pirate leader died violently in prison, and they looked at each other for a while, and they were a little uncertain about Xiao Xiantang's thoughts.

"Dou Xiancheng, do you think that small county makes him ......" Zuo Hong looked at Dou Xingzu with a look of embarrassment.

Dou Xingzu frowned: "I don't know about this matter, but if he just wants a piece of the pie, why bother so much." ”

"Do you think we can trust him?" Zuo Hong asked.

Dou Xingzu snorted: "We can't do anything about this matter, we still have to contact the state capital." ”

"Then are we going to hold our troops for the time being?"

"There's really no other way."

"Okay, little one understands." Zuo Hong looked at Dou Xingzu with a dog-legged expression.

At this time, Zuo Hong and Dou Xingzu seemed to be reconciled as before, yesterday on the wine bureau, the two of them also had a glass of wine to release their enmity, but in fact, both of them had pimples in their hearts, and no one trusted anyone at all, but at this time, they really had no other person to discuss, so the two had to mix together for the time being.

The so-called no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, is talking about the situation of the two at this time.

Mu Chonglan held her cheeks, looked at what Xiao Xiantang wrote on the table, and asked with some curiosity: "You just let go of Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong's two dog officials?" ”

"......" Xiao Xiantang rolled his eyes, a little speechless at Mu Chonglan's increasingly rude way of speaking, he felt that if he wanted to correct Mu Chonglan's way of speaking, he might have to let Mu Chonglan cut off relations with those Jianghu people first. If you don't let them go, what else can you do, can you really kill them and skin them and hang them on the wall to show the public? ”

"Why can't you?" Mu Chonglan was puzzled.

Xiao Xiantang frowned: "If you really hang up, don't you feel disgusting?" ”

"But they're bad." Mu Chonglan blinked his eyes and continued: "Although I also think it's strange to hang on the wall like that, it's written in the play, saying that it is the clean official who wants to let the bad guys get the retribution they deserve." ”

"I don't want to be a clean official." Xiao Xiantang said angrily.

Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang and pouted: "You are not bad for money, how good it is to be a clean official, it will be famous through the ages, and in the future, it will be written that you are Xiao Qingtian in people's dramas." ”

"You don't read more dramas in the future, the things in those dramas are all pedantic and delaying things." Xiao Xiantang stopped his pen and said angrily.

Mu Chonglan was a little unconvinced, Xiao Xiantang had to sigh, these days, he has been busy, so he doesn't have much time to accompany Mu Chonglan, so Mu Chonglan likes to go out these days to listen to people talk and sing, and as a result, he learned a bunch of messy things and came back, which made him very helpless and a little self-blaming.

"Xiao Xiantang, are you planning to write an excerpt and report the smuggling to the imperial court?" Mu Chonglan leaned over to Xiao Xiantang and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Xiantang shook his head: "I don't have that idea." ”

"That ......"

"Why would I do that?" Xiao Xiantang asked rhetorically.

Mu Chonglan said without hesitation: "As an official of the imperial court, you should be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and if you encounter this kind of smuggling, of course, you must report it immediately, so as not to cause greater losses." ”

Xiao Xiantang sighed a little helplessly: "Have you forgotten how the last county order died?" ”

"He ......"

Xiao Xiantang understood that it was actually difficult for Mu Chonglan's head to understand some truths, so he told her directly, "It can be said that as long as I want to report to the imperial court, this twist and turn has not left Yanzhou, and we should be exterminated." ”

"I'll protect you." Mu Chonglan said.

Xiao Xiantang: "......"

"Xiao Xiantang, I can really protect you." Mu Chonglan clenched his fists, indicating that what he said was true.

Xiao Xiantang shook his head: "Mu Chonglan, don't just look at the surface of things, you have to look at the truth under the surface." ”

"The truth?" Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang in confusion.

Xiao Xiantang stretched out his hand and touched Mu Chonglan's head, and said, "Pirates often come ashore to plunder, but have you seen how many people come to beat the drum and cry out for grievances?" ”

Mu Chonglan thought about it and shook his head.

"You've been running around outside these days, watching the lives of the people, are you still living and working in peace?" Xiao Xiantang asked again.

Mu Chonglan thought about it again, and then nodded.

"Think about it, why is it that a town like this, which is often harassed by pirates, can still live and work in peace?"

"Why?"

"Because, even if these pirates come to fight the autumn breeze from time to time, they are far better than the previous days, and they are all fake pirates, and fake pirates will only steal things, not kill people." Xiao Xiantang explained lightly.

Mu Chonglan was a little dazed: "If you don't kill people, are you a good person?" "() The female supporting rebirth: The husband is blackening every day, and the update speed is the fastest.
