Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 1 Meng Changqing was beaten

Late that night, the Meng Mansion was brightly lit and the door was wide open.

The mistress of the backyard was so anxious that she didn't eat all day.

Her 'son', who came to the palace to accompany her for no other reason than to accompany her, has been locked up in the palace for two days.

Finally, the sound of a carriage came from the road near my home.

The servant who had been watching at the door quickly reported to the backyard, "Madam! The young master is back!"

The lady sitting on the main seat suddenly stood up and asked, "How is the young master?"

"I was beaten ten times and I can't even stand up."

When the lady heard this, her heart tightened, "Go and call Doctor Hu quickly. Find a door panel and carry the person in."

Meng Changqing had already fainted when he was moved to the door panel.

She was thinking vaguely in her mind.

I thought I was unlucky enough to be reborn into a feudal society.

Thinking of her hypocritical uncles and cousins, if she hadn't survived, her mother and mother-in-law would have been bullied by them.

When the prince wanted to beat the prince himself, the prince looked so stupid. As expected, the superiors also did not take the beating.

I thought about what the emperor said and the slap on my body.

Oops, I can't think about the board. The more I think about it, the more painful it becomes.

"what!"

Meng Changqing woke up in pain and found that she had moved from the door panel to the bed, and her mother was sitting by the bed giving her medicine.

"I'm awake now. Drink this bowl of medicine quickly."

When Meng Changqing saw the dark Chinese medicine in front of him, he really didn't want to drink it. It smelled bitter enough.

"You must drink it. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Hu can make the injury on your back heal faster."

Meng Changqing grinned and said, "Drink again if you are cold."

"You are still in the mood to laugh!" Mrs. Wen pretended to tug her ears hard, "I almost died in the palace. What happened? We were so anxious outside. Why on earth were you disrespectful to the prince?"

"Hey, I don't know where that kid learned it. If he wants to do something manly with me, he will reach out and take off my belt. Can I let him take it off? I'll beat him up."

Meng Changqing disguised herself as a man and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If the prince really wanted to take off his pants, it would be a disaster.

To put it another way, even if she could be forgiven by the emperor and spared her life, she would have to return to her daughter's body, which would inevitably mean that her family property would not be guaranteed, and her future life would probably be more difficult than death.

Although it would be a disaster if he just beat the prince, but considering the emperor's feelings for her family, at most he would suffer a little physical pain and his identity would not be exposed, so everything would be easy to talk about.

Sure enough, she was right.

Isn’t it a good time to come back?

The family property was not lost, nor was the life lost.

Speaking of why Meng Changqing disguised herself as a man, it was really a last resort.

She is the posthumous child of her father, General Meng.

Father Meng lost himself and his three sons in the war.

According to the patriarchal laws of some clans in this dynasty, if a son dies, the family property must be returned to the clan, or his nephew must inherit it.

How could she be willing to let Mrs. Wen hand over the family fortune that her husband and son had lost to others?
Fortunately, Meng's aunt Liang was pregnant at that time.

As long as the child is a son, then Father Meng will be the legitimate heir.

But if it is a daughter, the family business will still fall into the hands of outsiders.

Therefore, Meng Changqing must be a son.

"What will your Majesty do to you?" Mrs. Wen knew the rules in the palace. If Changqing dared to attack the prince, the punishment would never be as simple as ten big bans.

"I was sent to Liangzhou." Meng Changqing said this, his face was not unhappy at all, and he was even a little excited, "There is a place called Beishan County in Liangzhou, and the emperor asked me to go there to be the county magistrate. He even gave me his official seal and documents.”

Meng Changqing propped up his upper body and took something out of his arms.

"Look, this is a document and an official seal." She thrust the thing into Wen's hand like a treasure.

"Liangzhou..." Wen ran her fingers over the words on the paper, "That's the border of Daliang, the junction of the Three Kingdoms. The Yan people are ferocious and barbaric, and Jiewan is waiting for an opportunity. Your father and brothers died there. . Most of the soldiers guarding there now are the old troops of the Meng family army.

The emperor asked you to go to Liangzhou, what is your purpose? "

"Who cares why."

Meng Changqing still had the same open-mindedness as in her previous life, "It's a glimmer of hope after all. Mother, hurry up and pack your luggage. We'll set off now."

"Now?" Wen held Meng Changqing down, "Honestly, what else did you do in the palace?"

"I didn't do anything." Meng Changqing promised, "I really didn't do anything. It was just that the kick was in the wrong place."

Wenshi understood.

"You really..."

Don't sleep at night, run away.

"Bafang, go and inform Aunt Liang and ask her to collect all the gold, silver and soft goods at home, and then ask someone to prepare food for the carriage and horses, and set off immediately when everything is ready.

correct!Dr. Hu was also tied up. "

Inside the palace.

The emperor was sitting in the main hall of the East Palace, with a very young chamberlain kneeling in front of him.

The little chamberlain took advantage of the emperor not paying attention and moved his buttocks back and forth.

"You have knelt down long enough." The emperor said, "Tell me why the prince and the young master of the Meng family had a dispute."

The young chamberlain pressed his head against the floor tiles, "Reporting to your majesty, I really don't know that I was not around when the prince and Master Meng had a dispute."

The emperor was calm and confident, "You are the prince's personal servant."

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. It's not that the villain is being lazy. It's because the prince ordered that he have something to say to Master Meng alone, so he kicked the villain out."

The emperor leaned back, "In this case, you don't have to wait around the prince."

The young chamberlain trembled, "Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Sent to hard labor."

The little chamberlain cried wildly and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please forgive this villain's sins!"

The guards beside the emperor didn't care what he was howling, they just twisted his hand and lifted it out.

When the prince in the inner room heard the sound, he hurriedly got up with his bare feet and shouted out of the room: "Father, please spare Taozi, he doesn't know anything."

The imperial doctor who was guarding the inner room hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, your injury needs to rest and you must not move around."

"let me go!"

The prince pushed the imperial doctor away.

The imperial doctor couldn't help but push. As soon as the prince stretched out his hand, the imperial doctor rolled to the ground and lay down on the spot.

Now it was the guards' turn to take action.

These guards only obey the emperor.

He immediately lifted the prince up and pushed him onto the bed.

The emperor dismissed the servant. When he heard the movement inside, he frowned and really wanted to beat this useless thing.

"Let me ask you one last time, why did Changqing hit you?" The emperor's anger was about to burst out of his head.

The prince was too frightened to say anything.

"say!"

"How did I know?" The prince's guilt was written on his face, "He has a bad temper to begin with."

"I have watched him grow up, and I know his character very well. To be honest, otherwise I would have asked you to have a taste of the board."

The prince refused to say anything.

The emperor thought about his injury and it was impossible to really hit him.

"Don't you know who Meng Changqing is?" the emperor sternly said, "His father and brother died fighting to defend the country. Now that I've beaten him for a worthless thing like you, how will the veterans of the court look at me!"
