Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 331 There is no room for you

The Zheng family members dared to breathe a sigh of relief only after they left the yamen.

Zheng Jiasheng was relieved, Zheng Linsheng was scared, and Zhou Erya was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

"Oh, what a pity." Zheng Linsheng said with a pained expression, "I have to pay so many favors to get in touch with the government, but before I can get my money back, the man is ruined."

"Why are you still saying this? It's good enough that our family is not implicated." Zheng Jiasheng said.

Zheng Xidong looked at the two brothers coldly. She should have realized long ago that to her father, Zheng Linsheng was the only real family member.

It would be great if one day she could let her father have a taste of what it feels like to be treated as a favor.

Zheng Linsheng's eyes fell on Zheng Xidong, and he reached out to point at her, "Look at what you have done. If you hadn't done it, this wouldn't have happened."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a cough behind him.

Zheng Linsheng turned around and saw an unfamiliar young man behind him. Although he was young, judging from his clothes, he should have some money.

Zheng Linsheng's mind started to think again in an instant.

But before he could think about it, the man said, "Madam asked you to go over there. We agreed to take you to see the new gentleman."

"Young man, you are..." Zheng Linsheng wanted to move forward to speak.

Laicai immediately took two steps back, "Step back, and don't talk to me!"

Zheng Linsheng was choked by the words he was unable to say, and stood there with his mouth open, looking somewhat funny.

Zheng Xidong first thanked Lai Cai, and then said to his family: "You go back first, I may not go back tonight."

In the county government court.

After the Zheng family left, it was Song Xiyu and her grandson's turn. They were tied up like New Year pigs and carried up. Meng Changqing put the things on the table back in place, stood up and walked in front of the two.

He looked at the two of them and then spoke, "Now that we have taken care of other people's business, it's time to talk about our own business.

Fellow brothers, you obeyed the orders from above and came to me from the military camp. Your original job was to protect me, but due to the vacancies in Beishan County, you also served as the county's yamen runners.

I, Meng Changqing, am grateful for your kindness, so I will give you extra monthly salary and rewards.

If you feel it is not enough, you can just tell me. Although I don't have any money, I still have some assets compared to you. If I go back to Beijing and sell my land and houses, it will be enough to increase your monthly wages.

Why bother with the money for road construction?
Song Xiyu, you have been doing this for so many days, and you have only earned a few bucks!" Meng Changqing said with a stronger tone.

"More than five hundred coins." Song Xiyu's face looked ashen when he replied.

"More than five hundred coins, plus the gift your grandson gave you, it's far less than a thousand coins. Just for this money, you dare to touch the account on the construction site.

Now that I think about it, do you find yourself ridiculous? "

Meng Changqing brought him here not to reason with him, and he only had these two words to say to him.

"Everyone, how many of you still remember what I said back then?" Meng Changqing said, "I have wasted your leisure time and called you here just to ask you this question. What did I tell you when the Beishan County Government Office was first built?
If you can’t remember, go back and think about it carefully.

I think those of you who are well-informed should already know why these two were kidnapped, so I won’t say more. I will just give you the evidence to circulate.”

As Meng Changqing finished speaking, Bafang took the evidence that Zuo Datou had collected earlier to the yamen runners and asked those who had read it to pass it down.

"The yamen runners on duty, give these two men ten lashes with the cane, and hand them over to the legal advisor to be sent back to Weishan Camp. Our Beishan County cannot tolerate people like you.

Take action. "
