Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 240 There are few people more scoundrel than me

On the official road, when the wind and sand did not stop, Meng Changqing stayed there for more than an hour, and a layer of dust accumulated on his body.

She stood up and shook her cloak.

"Sir." Yang Zheng came closer again, "It seems that this lord from Yangmen County is determined to make things difficult for us.

That person withdrew as soon as he entered the checkpoint. It was not obvious that he was coming for us. He seems to have withdrawn, but if they can't keep it all, they set up checkpoints forward or backward. There are always places we can't see.

Those people who finally made up their mind to come to Beishan County were stopped by him..." Yang Zheng sighed, "What should we do? "

Chu Mufeng said, "Mr. Meng, Liangzhou has a special terrain. Several counties below it have such gates. If Yangmen County does this, other counties may also have it."

Meng Changqing nodded, "That's what Mr. Bai said."

"Don't you have a way to deal with it?" Chu Mufeng asked.

Meng Changqing smiled and said: "Of course there are." She said to Bafang: "Go to Yangmen County to buy some pieces of brightly colored cloth."

"Yes!"

Bafang always does things quickly, and not long after, he came back with a roll of red cloth.

Meng Changqing had already polished the ink and was waiting. As soon as the cloth from Bafang was in place, she cut the cloth directly, and then took up a pen and wrote three characters on each piece of red cloth: Beishan County.

The roll of cloth was all cut off, and Yang Zheng and others were asked to find relatively straight branches nearby and tie the red cloth with the calligraphy on it to the branches.

"Is this a flag?" Yang Zheng hesitated when he asked.

Meng Changqing nodded and smiled at him: "It's useless to just use these rogue tricks to deal with me. There are few people in the world who are more rogue than me."

"Your Excellency, you wouldn't describe yourself like this." Yang Zheng still didn't understand what Meng Changqing wanted to do.

"Just seeking truth from facts." She personally distributed these flags to the group of people led by Yang Zheng, exactly one for each person.

"From now on, you will go to different counties in groups of three to four, carrying flags. Remember to shout while walking: Beishan County will pick up people, regardless of gender, and divide the fields. No need to lead, no proof, interested ones." Hurry up."

"This……"

Before Yang Zheng could speak, Meng Changqing continued: "There is no need to find a dilapidated place to drill, just walk along the road and shout wherever you pass.

Remember to take turns shouting, otherwise your throat won't be able to bear it, and I will ask someone to prepare a fat sea for you at the county government office. "

"Sir!" Yang Zheng was excited, "This is a good idea, but what if brothers are blocked by officials from other yamen?"

"Turn around and go another way. If those officials are staring at you, come and tell me. I will be waiting for you here.

If anyone can't stand my behavior, report me to the magistrate's office, or come and quarrel with me in person, that would be the best! "

Meng Changqing added: "Although we preach that there is no need for directions and proofs, when people come to us, remember to lead the way for them. I don't object to you using yesterday's method.

When doing this, there is a bottom line: don’t let those who want to disrupt the country take advantage of the loopholes. Once there is someone who cannot prove their identity, no matter what they say, send it directly to the local government for verification. "

Yang Zheng and others carried flags and stood beside the horses and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

Everyone replied that they should, and Yang Zheng saluted Meng Changqing with his fists clasped, and then shouted loudly: "Get on the horse!"

Watching them walk away carrying the red flag, the oncoming wind unfolded the flag, and the three big black characters of Beishan County were extremely eye-catching on the red cloth. Chu Mufeng stood on the side of the official road, watching those people walking away, thinking, this is worth writing. His letter to the Bai family tea shop is destined to become thicker and thicker.

Not far away, I heard a voice coming from the front: Beishan County is picking up people, regardless of gender...

Meng Changqing swept the dust on the stone, and before he was about to sit down, he said to Bafang: "Help me run one more time to the gate of Yangmen County and bring over the people waiting there."

"Hey!"

The dust raised by the horse's movement fell on Meng Changqing's face. She simply covered her head with a cloth, sat on a rock, and leaned against a tree. No one was as leisurely as she was.

Not long after, Mao Chunfang heard the news that the Beishan County government officials were causing trouble in Yangmen County. They were carrying flags and shouting on the official road, which had attracted many people.

The master looked at the faces of those present and said, "Do you remember the village called Northwest Corner? I heard that more than a dozen families in the whole village have gone there."

Mao Chunfang pounded the table angrily, "Where's Li Zheng over there? He's a free man!"

"Sir." The master accompanied him more carefully, "Zheng Zheng over there has also gone. If this continues, the area in the northwest corner will be gone."

"Isn't anyone stopping them?" Mao Chunfang shouted.

The master immediately went down and turned to the government officials to stop them, "Don't let them shout, and don't let the people of our county come into contact with them. Remember not to cause conflicts."

After receiving the order, the government officials waited and looked around, but the arrester stepped forward and asked, "They are here to cause trouble. I'm afraid that wherever we go, they will find any excuse to conflict with us."

"Anyway, you can't take action." The master said, "Those government officials in Beishan County are all from the barracks. You are not necessarily opponents. If there are those with a bad temper among you, if you push and shove, you will have to draw your sword. If anything happens, If you hurt them, we adults will be the unlucky ones.”

"If you say that, aren't you going to send us to your door to be beaten?" A police officer couldn't help complaining.

"Can't you hide?" The master couldn't help but yell loudly. Then he realized that he had lost his composure. He immediately adjusted his emotions and said to everyone in front of him: "Quickly, let's go quickly."

Watching the government officials leave, the master turned his head and saw Mao Chunfang standing behind him. He was startled and almost breathed out.

After he calmed down a bit, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, we have already let them go. Even if we cannot stop the government officials in Beishan County, we can still stop the people of our county."

Mao Chunfang had no expression on her face, looking at the wide open side door.

After a while, the master heard him ask: "Where is Meng Changqing?"

"Master Meng is still in our county." Master asked, "Do you want to see him?"

"Go and fetch him."

"I'll go right away." The master went to the stable to fetch the horse, put on the saddle, and quickly left the county office. Not long after walking along the official road, he saw Meng Changqing and his party.

"Mr. Meng!" He waved and shouted in advance.

However, as the horses approached, they were stopped by someone with a long sword, "Who is coming!"

The master stumbled off his horse and saluted the blocker: "I am Master Mao of Yangmen County. I have been ordered to invite Master Meng."

Meng Changqing, who was sitting on the stone, slowly lifted the cloth over his head and said, "It turns out to be Master, Brother Zhou, sheath your sword."

Zhou Qiwen neatly sheathed his sword and stepped aside.

Only then did the master step forward, smiled apologetically at Meng Changqing and said, "Mr. Meng, my lord, please come over."

"Master Mao, isn't he in poor health and can't see guests?" Meng Changqing asked.
