Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 332: There Must Be a Limit
Meng Changqing left after she finished speaking. She did not watch the execution, but the bailiffs in the court did not dare to leave. They watched helplessly as the sticks were beaten down and blood was faintly visible.

Ten strokes of the cane may sound easy to say and may not seem like a big deal, but if the executioner had not shown mercy, more than twenty strokes of the cane would have been enough to kill a healthy adult.

The bailiffs acted according to Meng Changqing's wishes. In the current situation, who would dare to show mercy?

Anyone present who had any thoughts that they shouldn't have were terrified.

Anyone who is not a fool knows why this happened today. Dealing with those two people is one thing, but more importantly, it is to warn others.

After ten strokes of the board, the cries of pain from the two men on the bench gradually subsided.

Bafang had already prepared the cart. When he came back and saw that the beating was over, he told everyone to throw the person directly onto the cart.

"Master." Bafang took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter to Weishan Camp. It contains the identification of these two people. When you get there, don't worry about who is picking you up. Just give the letter to them directly."

Xi Bei was worried for the first time, so she pulled Bafang aside and asked, "If we return it like this, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Wei Fangyun?"

"What does this have to do with Lord Wei?" Bafang asked back, "It's their own bad conduct. Besides, the young master only sent them back to Weishan Camp, not directly to Lord Wei."

"Weishan Camp is managed by Wei Fangyun, and he sent these people here."

"Master, why are you worrying about this? With the young master's mind, could he be careless?"

"You can't say that. He's busy all day long, and he might get confused. Isn't it to remind you all the time that you should follow him? What do you think of him?"

"I think he's the young master." Bafang handed the whip to Xi Bei, "Be careful on the road."

Xi Bei took the whip and pretended to hit him, but Bafang ran away immediately.

"Hey! Come back!" Bafang saw that Xi Bei really had something to say, so he could only go back timidly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Why don't you go ask Changqing about this matter? I'll wait here."

"What is there to ask? Master, don't worry. Lord Wei will not be unhappy if we send two people back." Bafang lowered his voice, "Lord Wei has already said that if any of his personal soldiers are not convenient to use, they can be sent back."

He was about to leave when Xi Bei grabbed him and said, "I didn't even know that Wei Fangyun was so close to Chang Qing. Is that okay?"

Bafang smiled and said, "To put it inappropriately, we are both on the same boat."

Let’s talk about Zheng Xidong. He followed Lai Cai and went into the west gate of the county government office.

"Xidong." Wen was waiting for her in the yard.

Zheng Xidong looked at the person in front of her. In just this one day, she saw the dignity of being a human being in Wen. She realized that people in this world are divided into high and low, noble and humble. If she wants to have dignity, she must move towards a higher place.

"Sir, please wait for me."

"It's what we agreed on." Mrs. Wen stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Mr. Xin."

Wen said as they walked, "This new teacher's surname is Cai. He passed the provincial examination and I heard he was very knowledgeable. He originally opened a private school in Luojiang County to teach people. Unfortunately, he was too kind-hearted. After working hard for several years, he ended up losing all his family fortune."

Zheng Xidong followed beside him and listened very carefully.

Mrs. Wen patted Zheng Xidong's hand, and said, "It shows that people should always do things in moderation. This is true for kindness and filial piety."
