Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 238 is not absolutely reasonable
It was pitch dark, and Mao Chunfang had just returned to the county office.

Mrs. Mao wrung out the handkerchief and wiped his face, "Master, I heard that you were scared out by Mr. Xiao Meng from Beishan County?"

"What do you mean by being scared out?" Mao Chunfang slumped on the chair and let his wife take care of him. "Master really can't speak. I didn't want to pay attention to him."

"What about tomorrow?" Madam asked, "Don't you want to talk to him tomorrow?"

"Does Madam want me to see him?" Mao Chunfang sat up straight, and then said: "He wants to see me just for that matter. I really don't want to agree, and there is no need to break up with him, so I can only talk to him. He is more patient than ever.

How much patience can someone like him, who always has everything go smoothly, have to be patient? "

"I don't understand your official business, just eat."

On the square table was the meal prepared by Mrs. Mao, which was a combination of meat and vegetables and tasted delicious. Mao Chunfang commented on the meals and snacks for a day outside and finally got what she wanted to eat.

When the family had almost eaten, a close relative came in and reported, "Sir, the master wants to see you."

Mao Chunfang put down her chopsticks and said, "Let him in."

The master held a roll of paper in his hand and saluted Mao Chunfang and Mrs. Mao after entering. Mrs. Mao sent someone to clear the dining table and make room for these two people.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Mao Chunfang asked.

The master stepped forward, spread out the paper and said, "The content on the paper was left by Master Xiao Meng in the concierge."

Mao Chunfang looked at the things on the paper, and the drawings were straight and straight, "What does this mean?"

The master shook his head and said, "I don't know. The class leader reported that Master Meng should have painted this by himself. He also painted a lot. If you look from the back of the paper to the front, the painting is getting better and better."

Mao Chunfang put the paper aside, "Ignore it, is there anything else?"

The master continued: "The city gate came to report that today Beishan County officials took away more than 20 people, including people from our county."

Mao Chunfang looked unhappy, "Who led the way for them?"

"Sir, these people from our county had no road guide when they arrived at the city gate. It was the Yamen of Beishan County who caught Li Zheng at the city gate and issued the order on the spot." The master said, "They are really bold and barbaric."

Mao Chunfang's face became even uglier. He thought that the two of them were officials in the same state and did not want to cause too much trouble. He avoided the yamen. It would be better for him, Meng Changqing, to come to his Yangmen County to become a bandit!
"Sir, he will come tomorrow. Regardless of whether you see him or not, as long as his people stand at the city gate, our guards will be ineffective." The master said, "This is not the way to go. Sir, it is better to find someone from above. Say a few words in court."

"The magistrate of Liangzhou didn't know about my affairs in Yangmen County, but the Ministry of Punishment did. It's not obvious that I colluded with Shangguan." Mao Chunfang waved her hand, "I can't count on him."

The master's mind was working rapidly, "I was too impulsive. Sir, why don't we add a checkpoint in front of the city gate?"

"This is a good method. It is both simple and effective. You can take people to do it in person tomorrow and don't let people in Beishan County see it." Mao Chunfang added, "His people are always unreasonable to guard my level. Please pass my message to guard."

The master listened closely, carefully wrote down Mao Chunfang's words, and went to the city gate overnight to convey them to the soldiers guarding the city.

Meng Changqing finally arrived home, and the government servants led the horses and reported the news.

"I'm hungry." Bafang couldn't wait to go inside.

Meng Changqing and Yang Zheng were still talking at the yamen gate, but Bafang had already disappeared.

"We will bring some brothers over tomorrow, and we will stay outside Yangmen City to pick them up."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for tonight."

"Brother Yang, thank you for your hard work today. Go to the kitchen to have dinner and rest early. We have to leave early tomorrow."

"Yes."

Yang was leading a group of yamen servants to the kitchen. Meng Changqing turned around and looked out from the county yamen gate. He couldn't see anything interesting.

Xi Bei patted her shoulder with the handle of the knife, "Don't look at it, you should go and take a rest." Meng Changqing came back to his senses, "Master, I still have government affairs to deal with, you and Lord Bai and the others should go and take a rest first. ”

Xi Bei saw her walking towards the study and couldn't help but said, "Don't collapse from exhaustion."

Meng Changqing smiled, her current schedule was much more regular than in her previous life.

Passing by the court hall, she saw a light on in a room on the west side, where Qi Renli handled official business.

It seems that he is also busy.

Not long after entering the study, Bafang came in with a hot dinner, but this time it was not a double portion. Meng Changqing asked him: "Aren't you eating here?"

"I'll go to the kitchen to eat." Bafang said before closing the door, "There's also a bowl of soup. Madam will bring it to you later."

Meng Changqing knew in her heart that her mother had something to say to her.

Sure enough, after a while, she heard her mother's footsteps outside.

Meng Changqing opened the door curtain early and waited at the door.

"Mother hasn't rested at this late hour. It's me who makes you worry." As she spoke, she took the clay pot from Wen's hand.

"Don't talk about this." Wen asked Meng Changqing to eat first.

When she had almost eaten, she said softly: "You have been busy for many days, can your body still bear the food?"

Meng Changqing nodded, "Not bad."

"It's okay." Wen Shi added, "Looking at your face, it seems that you have encountered something difficult."

Meng Changqing told the story about the secret jamming of people in Yangmen County. Wen and Meng Changqing thought the same. No one wants to suffer losses. It is normal for Mao Chunfang to be in trouble.

"When you are in the first year of junior high school and others are in the fifteenth year, no one can be absolutely reasonable. Besides, officialdom is never a place for reason." Wen said, "I know your temper, but don't treat Yangmen County because of this kind of thing. What does that person think?"

"I know." Meng Changqing said, "I have already had opinions about him, but it was not because of this incident.

After all, I have something to ask of him now, so I can only show my attitude and ask him to agree. "

Wen looked at her and said, "It's your attitude that you came to ask for an audience. It's also your attitude that Colonel Yang and the others stood at the city gate."

"That's what mother said."

"You have become much more mature." Mrs. Wen was very pleased. "When this matter is over, remember to talk to your mother. She is worried about her family but does not dare to express it easily. When will she be able to live more comfortably?"

when? Meng Changqing also wants to know.

Not only her mother, but she herself also wanted to live freely.

How long will it take for the life you expected when you first came to Beishan County to come true?
After a good night's sleep and getting up early, Meng Changqing even skipped the steps of exercise, brought breakfast, called up everyone who was still yawning, and set off on the road in the morning light.

It was still the same process as yesterday, the city gate opened, and Meng Changqing asked Yang Xiaowei and others to stay at the city gate.

"Mr. Meng." The soldier quickly ran to Meng Changqing's side, "Mr. Meng, although the city wall here is not as dangerous as the wall in Beishan County, it is the second border pass after all. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for your people to be here all the time. .

If something happens, it's hard to say whether it's Yangmen County or Beishan County's responsibility. "

As soon as Meng Changqing heard this, he knew it came from Mao Chunfang.

This was a threat to her. If Yang Zheng and the others continued to stand, something would happen at the gate of the city.
