Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"Take me to the construction site." Mei Zi asked, holding back her anger, "Mother asked you to say that, right?"

"Where did you think you were going? I just got home and I just met my mother. How can she have time to explain to me?"

Meizi gritted her teeth, "How could it be such a coincidence!"

"I can not understand what you say."

"Li Zheng ran home several times and said that there were not enough servants and there was one more person in the family. Since the second brother's legs and feet were not good, Chunmei could go. Chunmei didn't want to, so she told her mother to let me go on her behalf.

I think although my mother didn’t agree immediately, it would be a matter of time.I thought to myself, if my mother really said this to me, I would just hit her and die.

Unexpectedly, before my mother could speak, you said it. "

"Look where you are going?" Boss Zeng did not expect that his good intentions would be misunderstood by his wife, "I just want you to eat and save some food for the family. I am dedicated to the family. Is there anything wrong? "

Mei Zi wiped away her tears and said, "You are devoted to your family, but I am not from this family."

"Sister-in-law!" Zeng Laosan lived next to their cubicle and heard their conversation clearly.

He walked around to the door and squatted in front of Mei Zi, "Don't be suspicious, brother, I begged him to take you there. If I lie to you and harm you, I will die a good death. Just believe us."

There is nothing to believe or not to believe. In this world, a woman's life has always been decided only by men.

Early the next morning, when Meizi was packing the package, she put the scissors at home inside.

She can't decide how to live, but she can decide how to die.

Mao Chunfang was eating the pancakes rolled for him by his wife, and was about to go to the front office to handle official business, when he saw many people blocking the front office of the chief clerk.

"What's going on?" Mao Chunfang was very familiar with those Li Zheng. "If you don't go to the army below, what are you doing here at the county government?"

As soon as the Li Zhengmen heard this, they quickly knelt down to Mao Chunfang.

"Going back to the county master, we have enough conscripts in each town. The laborers were taken away by the soldiers from Beishan County last night. We took the certificate from Beishan County and came here to report to the chief registrar."

"What proof?" Mao Chunfang strode over and picked up the large pile of notes on the main book table to read.

Those notes did come from Beishan County and were stamped with the Beishan County seal, but what was this seal engraved on?
What is Zhang Yuanyin, the infantry captain and temporary chief bookkeeper of Beishan County?
Who carved the seal for such a long string of words!

Under the seal is written the number of people, some are 200, some are 500, and behind the note is the list of conscripts.

"Master County." An older man Li Zheng asked, "Is there something wrong with this line?"

"Who is the person who stamped you?" Mao Chunfang asked, making everyone weak in the knees.

Li Zheng said in a panic: "He said he is the chief registrar of Beishan County. The servants who came back yesterday can also prove that those people are indeed officers and soldiers of Beishan County."

"Could it be that the servants and the Yan people came to deceive?"

"It's impossible. Those people don't look like Yan people."

"The Yan people will kill us Daliang people when they see them. What are they doing by tricking so many people into coming here?"

"Master, don't scare them." The old master said, "The note is indeed from Beishan County. The person must have been picked up by Beishan County. You just need to register with me."

"The county master said this chapter..."

"The seal is indeed made a little different, but that doesn't stop it from being useful." The old master took the note back from Mao Chunfang, "Sir, your cake will get cold if you don't eat it."

Mao Chunfang looked at the master who was helping next to the chief clerk and said, "Come here."

The master put down what he was holding and followed Mao Chunfang into the room to talk.

"What changed overnight? How come there are suddenly enough people? Then how did Beishan County know that someone was going, and they even brought a note to pick them up, did you know?"

"I just listened to something." Master poured tea for Mao Chunfang, "Yesterday Beishan County gave the laborers a holiday and allowed them to go home. As soon as the laborers returned home, they talked about how good the food was in Beishan County. Others didn't believe it at first, but the servants had indeed grown stronger and brought home a big bowl of millet rice.

Who can eat like this in winter?Those who did not have much food and those who were greedy followed them, and the number of conscripts in each village was enough. "

Mao Chunfang clapped her hands after eating the cake, "This Meng Changqing has some evil ideas. If our county has enough people, other counties should be about the same."

He asked again: "How many people died in our county yesterday? Why did we delay reporting until this morning?"

"About 2000 people have gone, both men and women." The master replied, "They were only picked up at night yesterday, so I came to report this morning."

"At night? Why does it feel like a thief? Is there really anything wrong with that note? Is there no blood on it?"

"If you are worried, sir, why not go to the gate of our city and have a look. People from Beishan County are still there to pick up people."

"Go! Go and see!"

Mao Chunfang was about to go out, but was blocked by a robbery lawsuit, which delayed a lot of time.

By the time he reached the city gate, it was already time.

He looked from a distance and saw that there were many people blocking the city gate, and people were going there one after another. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate in his county were much more serious than before.

"Look, there are so many women." Boss Zeng protected Mei Zi and walked forward, standing between her and the stranger. "When the time comes, you will all pile up together, and it will be an easy job."

"Brother, you are lying. How can there be easy work on the construction site?" Zeng Laosan said, "You all say that picking up soil is easy, but my shoulders are almost dented."

The further you go, the more people there are and the less and less space you have to move forward.

The three members of the Zeng family had to stop.

"Why don't you move forward?" Zeng Laosan patted the tall man in front of him, "Why are you stuck here?"

"It's not blocked, it's not time yet."

"Why is it not time?" Boss Zeng asked.

"The official of Beishan County said that it will take another two-quarters of an hour for everyone to arrive, and then everyone will leave together."

Zeng Laosan was pleasantly surprised, "There will be someone escorting me when I go back. Can I still take the car?"

"Yes." The man turned back and glanced at Zeng Laosan, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to sit in this state. This train is all occupied by women."

"Then my sister-in-law can sit down!" Zeng Laosan said.

The man asked again: "Which county are you from?"

"We are from Liangzhou."

"You can't take the one in Liangzhou. There are others further away than you. The people on the bus are all from Hongjia County and Quping County."

Zeng Laosan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zeng Laosan, "Stop talking, there is not much road from here to the construction site, find a place to sit down and rest."

As soon as the three of them found a place to sit down, they saw several people passing by on tall horses.

"Who is that person?" Zeng Laosan asked.

"How do I know?" Boss Zeng said, "Just take a rest. You didn't eat in the morning, aren't you hungry?"

Mentioning this matter, Zeng Laosan felt aggrieved.

They brought back two bowls of rice, which her mother had warmed this morning. She wanted them to eat before leaving, but the second sister-in-law stopped them and said that they would have something to eat when they got there.

Even though they may not be able to eat it even if it is put to their mouths, the second sister-in-law's treatment is really chilling. (End of chapter)
