Besides, Zuo Hong, after he betrayed his "original master", he was forced to work with the "original master", and his mood was also very complicated, after all, Xiao Xiantang didn't know, but he knew very well that Dou Xingzu, who was low and small at this time, was actually a ruthless character who held grudges, so he could only give Dou Xingzu eye medicine to Xiao Xiantang while secretly thinking about how to completely knock Dou Xingzu down, otherwise he didn't know how he died.

Originally, the situation in the Yamen of Longtong County was that Xiao Xiantang was alone, and Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong were one faction, at this time Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong had already eaten a dog, and it was not easy to stick together, so the current Longtong County Yamen has formed a strange triangular relationship.

For the calculations in the hearts of Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, how could Xiao Xiantang not understand, it is precisely because he knows the situation of Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong at this time that he will transfer Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong back, in the face of the daily battle between Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, Xiao Xiantang is in a dilemma on the surface, but in fact, there is an element of watching a play, occasionally I find it interesting, and I will say a few words with Mu Chonglan at night, so Mu Chonglan sometimes comes to see Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong fighting each other.

"Lord Xiao, I'm afraid this is ...... It's not appropriate. Dou Xingzu said dryly, he was very puzzled, he didn't know why Xiao Xiantang was very concerned about the pirates, it seemed that since the pirates frequently attacked the coast these days, Xiao Xiantang was very concerned about the movements of the pirates, and asked a few words whenever he had the opportunity.

Even, he is now planning to take the servants to the coast at night, trying to catch those pirates.

Alas, sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he doesn't want to think about it, how can the group of old and weak soldiers in the county government of Longtong County fight with those dozens or even hundreds of strong pirates?

Dou Xingzu rubbed his hands, with a bitter look on his face.

"Master Zuo, do you think so too?" Xiao Xiantang looked at Zuo Hong.

"This ......" Zuo Hong also had a headache, he didn't expect this small county order to think of catching pirates in person, isn't this a matter of willfulness. I think this has to be considered in the long run. ”

When Xiao Xiantang heard Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong say this, his face immediately sank, and he pointed at the noses of Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, saying that the two of them were shrunken turtles and did not dare to make decisions for the people.

Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, you look at me, I look at you, they don't want to squeak, after all, Xiao Xiantang is willful, if they instigate it, something will go wrong in the end, it will inevitably depend on them, so no one wants to be the first bird in this matter.

Subsequently, Xiao Xiantang muttered a lot, such as asking how many pirates there were, where they landed last time, how many villages they ransacked, what attitude the state capital had, whether he sent people to drive away pirates or something, and even, he also pulled out a map and asked Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong to analyze and analyze where those pirates were hiding.

Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong were shocked by Xiao Xiantang's actions, how many pirates there were, where they landed last time, how many villages they ransacked, what attitude the state capital had, whether they sent people to drive away pirates or something, these are all good to say, as long as you inquire a little, you can know.

However, Xiao Xiantang pulled the map and asked the two of them to analyze where those pirates were hiding, which was too embarrassing.

Don't say they can't guess where the real pirates are hiding, even where the fake pirates are hiding, they don't know.

"What's going on with the two of you? Let you take a look, why are you dodging one by one, it can't be that you have done something unseemly, right? Xiao Xiantang looked at Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, his eyes were full of suspicion.

Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong were already weak-hearted, and when Xiao Xiantang asked them like this, they became even more nervous at the moment, and they had to tense their nerves all the time when they even gasped for breath and said a word, for fear that they would say something wrong and leak out.

At this moment, a government official came to report, saying that General Yan Hongxin Yan of the Dinghai Navy was here, and asked Xiao Xiantang if he wanted to see him?

"General Yan of the Dinghai Navy?" Xiao Xiantang showed a puzzled face, as if he was surprised that Yan Hongxin would come to his side, but he still said, "Please." ”

Hearing that General Yan Hongxin Yan of the Dinghai Navy was coming, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong subconsciously looked at each other, but just glanced at each other, and they both remembered that the other party was no longer the same traveler as him at this time, so they turned their faces away with tacit understanding at the moment.

Xiao Xiantang noticed this small detail, and secretly felt funny, but he didn't take it too seriously, at this time, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong were just two skinny cats with teeth and claws in his opinion.

Xiao Xiantang wants to see Yan Hongxin, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong should be avoided, after all, I don't know what Yan Hongxin is here for, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong should not appear here, if it is necessary for the two of them to know, Xiao Xiantang will naturally let the two of them come again.

However, Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong were like stunned young people who were not familiar with the world, and they did not leave with a tacit understanding, and waited for Yan Hongxin's arrival with Xiao Xiantang.

When Yan Hongxin saw Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong, his pupils shrank significantly, but he had been in the court for a while, so he still had the ability to adapt to changes, and soon mentioned the purpose of this trip to this county government with Xiao Xiantang.

If nothing else, it's for the capture of pirates.

At this time, Xiao Xiantang was "interested" in pirates, so as soon as he heard that Yan Hongxin knew something about the traces of pirates, he immediately became interested, and he wanted to discuss with him after pulling the map.

Dou Xingzu and Zuo Hong stood aside, noncommittal to Xiao Xiantang's actions, it can be said that although they disdainful of Xiao Xiantang's deliberate attempt to find pirates and make meritorious contributions, they are still jealous.

They are really afraid that Xiao Xiantang will catch the pirate, and then use this to swagger to the throne, although there is pressure from the state capital, this is unlikely, but thinking about the fact that there is a father-in-law who goes around in front of Emperor Sheng and can still speak, they are a little uncertain.

The state capital is afraid of Xiao Xiantang, a large part of it is because he has a father-in-law, even if it is just a petty official from the sixth grade, but sometimes, the official is big and small, and it is really not divided according to the grade.

Because of Yan Hongxin's arrival, not only the classic five questions asked by Xiao Xiantang were how many pirates there were, where did they go ashore last time, how many villages were looted, what attitude was the state capital, and whether they sent people to drive away the pirates.
