Mu Chonglan nodded: "Zhao Yongkang didn't bring me seafood, do you know?" ”

Maybe it was because they were in a hurry to save Yang Hao and his party, Zhao Yongkang didn't think about bringing two boatloads of seafood to them when they came back, or that those pirates had already made them busy, and no one thought of bringing seafood back at all.

You must know that Mu Chonglan has made a great contribution this time, and this Zhao Yongkang can forget about her seafood, which is really excessive.

When Xiao Xiantang heard this, she rolled her eyes, thinking that she was a little lady, but in addition to eating and sleeping, she didn't know that she had eaten so much, why was her waist and hips, and she didn't see half of her fat.

"I know, I'll let him go fishing for you again, catch four boats, and the extra two boats will be interested."

"Yes, yes." Mu Chonglan nodded vigorously, then thought of something again, and said: "This Zhao Yongkang is too untrustworthy, no wonder he is just a master book now, if you are promoted in the future, he will not be promoted to the county commander, right?" If that's the case, it's really a disaster for the people of Longtong County. ”

"When you don't get a good county order, it's not a matter of guarding your promises, and I don't know how to work around, even if you really become a county order, you are only a clean official at most, and it is impossible to get much benefit for the people." Xiao Xiantang said lightly.

Mu Chonglan frowned, not quite able to understand what Xiao Xiantang meant. "What do you mean, if Zhao Yongkang becomes the next county magistrate, it will be a blessing for the people of Longtong County?"

"At least not a scourge." Xiao Xiantang said.

"Why?" Mu Chonglan asked.

Xiao Xiantang thought for a while and asked, "If Zhao Yongkang and Dou Xingzu choose the next county commander, which one do you think is better?" ”

"Naturally, it's Zhao Yongkang." Mu Chonglan said without hesitation, what kind of person is Dou Xingzu, that is a bad person, although this Zhao Yongkang is also yin and yang, but he will be one of Xiao Xiantang's staff in the future, so he must be a good person, Mu Chonglan thinks so.

Xiao Xiantang said: "Generally, the county order is promoted or transferred, and the next county order is mostly replaced by the county official of the county office, and even the main book must be ranked after the county official, so if I am promoted, then Dou Xingzu will definitely be the next county order, unless Zhao Yongkang, the main book, has made great achievements and defeated Dou Xingzu, then he may be promoted." ”

"Is that so?" Mu Chonglan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Xiao Xiantang said lightly: "Generally speaking, that's right, but Longtong County is a little special." ”

"Special? How special? Mu Chonglan asked.

"Dou Xingzu's brother-in-law is a state official in Yanzhou, but he has been a county governor in Longtong County for many terms, isn't this special enough?" Xiao Xiantang pulled the corners of his mouth and said with some sarcasm.

Mu Chonglan thought about it, it seems that there is such a thing, although everyone says that they want to avoid suspicion, but there is a saying that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, in short, there is a powerful relative, it is indeed easy to go smoothly in the official career.

At the beginning, before Xiao Xiantang didn't buy an official, she actually thought about it, and wanted her father to go through the relationship for Xiao Xiantang, and see if she could open a back door for him and make his career go smoother, so that Xiao Xiantang would also accept their favor, and after they developed in the future, it would be difficult to hate them.

As a result, before she could make a move, Xiao Xiantang already had her own ideas, and bought her official position early, so she didn't even have a chance to be courteous, so she could only silently prepare silver or something, ready to take it out at any time to pay tribute.

"Since he has connections, why is he still so miserable, is there any reason why he can't be promoted to become the county magistrate of Longtong County?" Mu Chonglan thought about it, and felt that there must be a reason, and he also vaguely guessed one or two in his heart, but he was not sure, so he decided to ask Xiao Xiantang.

Xiao Xiantang didn't mean to make things difficult, Mu Chonglan asked, and he said directly: "This position of the county order of Longtong County is not easy to sit, not only is it easy to get into trouble, but also because it is close to the coast, it is easy to be blamed, so Dou Xingzu has been sitting in the county for so many years, and he is just a county officer. ”

In fact, Dou Xingzu sat in the position of the county magistrate, but he was more arrogant than the county order, and he made a lot of money, but the previous county orders were basically puppets that were set aside.

Speaking of which, with money and power, Dou Xingzu's greed is a little irrepressible, these years, he began to be greedy for the position of the county order, after all, what he can't get, it is always the best thing, so the county order, which he has never been able to sit in, has long become his inner demon.

Xiao Xiantang said secretly, the last time he started with the matter of the monk and Taoist, it caused Zuo Hong and Dou Xingzu to bite the dog, perhaps, from the perspective of Dou Xingzu Muquan, he could force the Dou Xingzu dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, and drag those things in the Yanzhou Prefecture into the water one by one, which is also a matter of maybe.

It's just that this matter can't be rushed and must be considered in the long run.

"It's so dark outside." When Xiao Xiantang was thinking about it, Mu Chonglan, who felt bored, didn't want to disturb him, so he took care of himself to find something to do, but when he lifted the curtain of the car, he found that maybe it was because there were no stars and moons tonight, and it was already late at night, and it was quiet outside, which was a little strange.

You know, generally speaking, there are husbands.

Could it be that Xiao Xiantang let his husband go home to sleep in order not to let people discover their carriage?

Not really......

Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang curiously, Xiao Xiantang had already come back to his senses and looked at her: "If you are curious about why there is no one, you don't have to, this road is already sparsely populated, and even if there are real people, they have been led elsewhere, we have to go quietly, and we can't make any extraneous branches." ”

"That's right." Mu Chonglan nodded, and was just about to withdraw his hand and put down the curtain of the carriage, when he heard some rustling movements outside, and a strange sense of uneasiness came to his heart, so he looked at Xiao Xiantang. "Xiao Xiantang, I think something is wrong."

Xiao Xiantang frowned, he didn't feel anything, but when he saw Mu Chonglan's expression, he suddenly felt that something might be wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I hear the sound of carriages." Mu Chonglan explained.

Xiao Xiantang narrowed his eyes, and then ordered Yan Xingsheng, who was driving the carriage in front, to stop.

As soon as the carriage was stable, Mu Chonglan got out of the carriage, frowned and looked into the distance, and when Xiao Xiantang also stepped off the carriage, she took Xiao Xiantang's arm with one hand and pointed to the distance with the other.
