Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 466: It's Over for You
"Sir, I am finished." Zhang Yuan started complaining as soon as he sat down.

Meng Changqing poured him a cup of tea, "What? What did the prefect say last night?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Yuan took the teacup and drank most of it in one gulp. "This is the first time I've seen someone like this."

Meng Changqing poured him some tea, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yuan wanted to laugh when he thought about what he was going to say next. "How many times have we been up that city wall? I can't even count them all, but none of them was like him..."

Zhang Yuan found a tablecloth and imitated Liu Dexiang's actions last night. "Just like that, keep covering your nose. If you don't know, you might think our city wall is built on a manure pit."

Meng Changqing saw how funny he was imitating and laughed too.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and continued, "You didn't hear what ridiculous things he said last night. He said that since the court has ordered us to interact with the barbarians, the barbarians must be able to speak Daliang Mandarin, and asked me to teach the barbarians to speak."

At the end of his speech, Zhang Yuan laughed again and spread his hands, saying: "I said I can't do it. How can I, a mere warrior, teach others how to speak?
The prefect told me that I must come up with a solution and get this done.

I really can’t help it.”

"No matter how hard the master tries, it will be in vain if the disciple has no talent." Meng Changqing said this.

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully and understood what Meng Changqing meant.

"I told you this as a joke," Zhang Yuan said. "I'm afraid there will be countless troubles waiting for me in the future."

"Don't worry." Meng Changqing assured him, "We are all in Beishan County. No matter what troubles come, we will handle them together."

With Meng Changqing's words, Zhang Yuan felt relieved.

If the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up with him.

Meng Changqing said so, but he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to maintain a good relationship with the prefect. After all, he was his immediate superior, and if he deliberately made things difficult for him, it would be difficult for Meng Changqing to deal with him.

While talking to Zhang Yuan, Bafang suddenly knocked on the door and came in, "Sir, there's a report from the entrance of Yangmen County that the prefect is coming this way."

Zhang Yuan frowned. "Can you tell which direction you're heading? To the county government office or to the camp?"

Bafang said, "When the news came back, the prefect had just arrived at the city gate. How could we tell where he was going? Besides, Brother Zhang, you know that there is only one official road in our county. If we want to know where he is going in advance, we can only go up and ask directly..."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said anxiously, "Please stop talking!" He turned around and said goodbye to Meng Changqing, "Sir, I have to go back. No matter where he goes, he can't see us together."

Meng Changqing nodded, "You go back first."

Bafang saw Zhang Yuan off and went outside the door to listen for any news to see if there was anyone else to report.

After waiting for a long time but no one came, he found a ladder, climbed onto the roof of the county government office and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a group of people coming towards him.

It should be the prefect. Bafang called Zhou Xing, and the two of them cooperated with each other and reported the prefect's location to Meng Changqing at all times.

Meng Changqing found this boring and told them to save their energy.

Bafang came down from the roof and said, "Master, it looks like they are definitely coming here."

"Come if you want." Meng Changqing didn't care.

"It's definitely not a good thing."

Meng Changqing never stopped copying the official documents. "Since you know what I'm talking about, then there's nothing to worry about."

Bafang couldn't be as calm as Meng Changqing no matter what, so he simply stopped staying in the study and hid in the backyard, moving Laicai to the front.
