Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

The so-called method is to let Shu Erhua do other business. They sell millet cakes.

Luo Yu is not a complete fool. This method is too unfair without even thinking about it.

"I can't help you." Luo Yu couldn't convince them, and he didn't have enough momentum. He didn't want to say any more, so he simply turned around and ran back to the post office, locking the door.

These people couldn't bother Luo Yu, so they blocked Shu Erhua's door.

Shu Erhua picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it directly in front of the person who was making the most noise. "The worst I can do is exchange one of my lives for seven of your lives. If you don't make it easier for me, I'll let you die first!"

From then on, Shu Erhua's reputation for being fierce and aggressive spread.

"Big deal! Big deal!" Bafang shouted, but he threw the package in the study, turned around and rushed out.

"What are you doing?" Meng Changqing stopped him, "What's the big deal that makes you rush out all the time?"

But Bafang said: "I will go out and tell others what you don't want to hear."

"Say!"

Bafang had no choice but to stop, "There are rumors about Shu Erhua outside again, saying that she almost chopped someone down and was so vicious that the people in Luojia Village want to drive her out."

"What's going on? Please tell me carefully."

"You want to hear it again?"

"No nonsense."

Bafang's inquiries outside were comprehensive, and even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still spoke vividly.

After Meng Changqing heard this, he only said that this man did not waste his efforts in vain.

"What's in the package you brought in?"

"It's gloves and socks." Bafang replied, "There are two more packages at the back. I asked someone to help them get them. Master, please take a look at the contents first. There's nothing wrong with them. I'll go check out with Luo Sanmu's family."

"Doesn't she have a name? Why do you always call her that?"

"I really don't know what her name is, everyone in Luojia Village calls her that."

"Since you are dealing with her, why not ask her directly." Meng Changqing went over to untie the package and saw pairs of neatly tied gloves inside. He picked up a few pairs of gloves and looked at them carefully.

The stitching is tight and a few extra stitches are deliberately sewed in areas that are prone to splitting.

"She is careful in her work." Meng Changqing handed the gloves to Bafang, "I asked you to do this, but you asked me to check it? You make your own judgment after checking it."

Bafang held his gloves and looked eagerly at Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing ignored him and directly ignored the matter and said: "Hurry up and deal with it. I want to go to the city wall before it gets dark. You come with me."

"Ok."

Bafang went to find Lai Cai. The two of them checked all the packages of gloves and socks to make sure there was nothing wrong with them. They took the money from Liang Jiujiu and settled the bill with Jiang Chan.

Half an hour had passed since he finished his lap. Meng Changqing, Chu Mufeng and others were already standing at the side door waiting for him.

"Master." Bafang ran towards his horse, "Master, won't you go?"

"Master wants to watch the people on the mountain." After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he rode forward.

Everyone kept up with her speed, and Bafang even chased her on horseback, "What happened on the mountain?"

"Keep an eye on it to prevent any accidents." Meng Changqing said: "Brother Zuo sent a message. The seven people who passed by the mountain had a very bad attitude and seemed to have thoughts of fleeing."

"How many people did you go there for?"

"Of course not entirely."

If we hurry up, it won't take long to get from the Beishan County Government Office to the edge of the city wall.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Zuo Datou came up to him, "They took turns last night and really ran away. Fortunately, someone was sent to keep an eye on them and they were caught back within a few steps of running away." "Where are the people?"

"They are locked up." Zuo Datou led the way, "They are tied up in an unused hole. I dare not let them go out to work, for fear that they will cause trouble."

While talking, several people came to the entrance of the cave.

"Is there anyone in there?"

"Yes, two brothers from our Yamen are watching inside."

The people in the cave heard the noise, and someone opened the door curtain and poked his head out, "Sir."

After entering, only one oil lamp was lit in the cave. The small flame provided limited illumination, and Meng Changqing could not see the expressions of those people.

"Light some more lights."

"Hey." The Yamen servant responded and quickly came back with a few oil lamps.

After everything was lit up, Meng Changqing saw the expressions of panic and dissatisfaction on those people's faces.

"I heard that you are going to run away?" Meng Changqing asked.

“I didn’t want to run away, I just wanted to walk around,” one of them said.

"Who would ignore warnings and walk around in an important border area?" Meng Changqing asked, "What are your identities?"

If she follows her train of thought, she is a spy.

Those people admitted that they really wanted to run, "I'm too tired. If I continue, I'll die."

"So you want to run?" Meng Changqing said, "There are so many people doing the same job as you, why don't they run away?"

"They are paid. I asked around and found out that the wages of those who quarry and transport stone are two cents higher than others."

Meng Changqing did not discuss wages with them, and she had no interest in doing ideological work for others. "You tried to run but failed. You are tied here by my people. In this current situation, what are you going to do?"

"I should ask you how you plan to punish us."

"Daliang has laws. Those who have escaped from prison will be imprisoned for half a year and exiled for two years. It is not cost-effective to imprison you. Beishan County is already the northernmost part of Daliang. Exiling you elsewhere will allow you to enjoy happiness."

"Three years of full service." Meng Changqing said, "No matter where there are fortifications in Liangzhou, you must be on call.

If you run again from now on, you will die whenever you run. "

After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he left and went up to the city wall to check and ask questions.

"The Yan people also bully the weak and fear the strong." Wang Xun stood on the city wall connected to Hongjia County. Looking at the wall under his feet, he couldn't help but think of the situation that day. "The battle that day also made them know the bloody nature of our Daliang people. , after the wall was built, they never dared to come near it again.

Hongjia County and Weishan County also benefited from this wall, and there was basically no war this year. "

Chu Mufeng shook his head after hearing this.

Wang Xun asked: "Am I wrong?"

"The Yan army didn't attack because they were afraid of us." Chu Mufeng said, "The battle that day was tragic because the Daliang army was inferior to the other side. We won with numbers. We know this. How could the Yan army not know this?"

"Then why? Could it be that the city wall was built and they knew it would be difficult to break the city?"

"This is just one aspect." Meng Changqing turned around and said: "In order to attack Beishan County, the Yan army abandoned Tuozhou. The situation in Tuozhou was unknown after the Jiewan barbarians broke into the pass. The longer the time went by, the less the Yan army dared to send troops. .”

"Then this Jiemaru man is still a friendly force to us."

"How can Jiewan be a friendly army? Although the people of Yan are barbaric and vulgar, they are still a country, and people are bound by the legal system. But Jiewan is different. They cannot be counted as human beings, not even human beings, so how can they be a friendly army?"

"Master Meng has a deep hatred for Jie Maru."
