Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"Chang Qing! Turn around and leave quickly." Xi Bei immediately came to protect her.

Meng Changqing made a decisive U-turn and left a considerable distance away. Soon Xi Bei and Chu Mufeng followed.

"Stop for a moment and run away." Someone's voice came from the distance, "I don't know who slipped very hard. Pack your things quickly."

"The rope is broken."

"Fortunately, we didn't come forward. They must have a murder weapon in their hands."

"What are you afraid of? Don't we have knives in our hands?"

Meng Changqing hid in the dark and judged how many people were at the old site from the sounds of their conversations.

There are no less than eight kinds of voices that can be heard, at least ten people.

Xi Bei came over and said softly: "Changqing, it's better to go back to Yangmen County first and wait until dawn before going back. There's no guarantee that there will be no stumbling ropes ahead."

"These people are always a nuisance here." Meng Changqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"These people know how to use tricks. I watched the torches go back on the mountain. I thought they had hid back in Yangmen County. Who knew there would be others coming."

"Did you hit the wrong person?" someone said, "I can't see anything clearly, and I don't know who it was."

"No matter who it is, it's not from the mountains anyway. Seeing as he has a horse and a sword, he can't be a good person. He must have done it right."

"Master, Master Bai, I have an adventurous idea." Meng Changqing whispered.

Xi Bei knew what she was about to say was not good, "What do you think?"

Meng Changqing: "Do you dare to fight with me? We are not far away from them now, and my horse is fast enough that there is no time to react. I will rush over first, and you will follow. They intend to murder me, and I will definitely have to pay for them." cost."

Chu Mufeng frowned, "This trip is too risky, and this risk is not necessary. I don't really agree."

Xi Bei also said: "Safety comes first. Sooner or later we will deal with them, so there is no rush."

"Okay." Meng Changqing compromised, "I'm only worried about the Yamen side."

"There are two captains and a hundred soldiers, and there are still troops stationed at the original camp. There won't be any big problem." Xi Bei said, "You should take care of yourself first."

The three of them walked toward Yangmen County. On the way, Chu Mufeng said, "If they set up an ambush on the way, they probably wouldn't go to the county government office."

"Why?" Meng Changqing asked.

"If I were a gangster on the mountain, and if I had enough ability to take advantage of the weather to take revenge, why would I need to get stuck on the road again? It would be a complete waste of manpower.

Although they could see us passing by on the mountain and see that we never went back, how could they be sure that we would go back tonight?I guess it may be more impromptu. "

Meng Changqing felt that what he said made sense.

But no matter what, she stayed up all night in Yangmen County. At dawn the next day, she took Xi Bei and others back to the Beishan County government office.

Passing by the old site of the city wall on the road, we saw a lot of gravel and soil on the ground. It was really our ancestors' blessing that these things didn't hit them last night.

Meng Changqing rode fast and was the first. It wasn't until she saw someone walking normally outside the county government office that she truly felt relieved.

"Did something happen last night?" Meng Changqing asked Zhang Yuan who came to greet them.

"Nothing happened." Zhang Yuan was puzzled, "But what did you encounter outside?"

Xi Bei replied: "There is an ambush at the old site of the city wall."

"It was too dark last night, so I asked the patrol team to light torches everywhere, and expanded the scope of the patrol. Nothing happened either in the government office or around it." "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Zhang." Meng Changqing finished speaking, and all directions He came closer and said, "Master, give me the reins."

Captain Zhang: "That's what I should do."

Meng Changqing was anxious to go back to Houya to see Wenshi and Liang Jiujiu, but he didn't notice them when he passed by Manshan and Mancang.

"Mother." Meng Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people standing outside the earthen house, "Is there breakfast?"

"Yes, your mother just saw you coming in and she has already carried you to the kang. Come in quickly." Wen asked her again: "Did things go smoothly?"

"It went well." Meng Changqing said, "I went to Liangzhou Prefecture and then to Weishan County. I talked to the people in that village in person, and their village chief promised me to pack my things and come over immediately."

"Okay, I've been to so many places, no wonder I couldn't come back in time last night." Wen asked her, "Where did you rest last night? I slept well."

"I didn't sleep all night." Meng Changqing said about the ambush yesterday. "Fortunately, when they saw the torch walking away, they thought they had turned back and were not properly prepared."

When Liang Jiujiu heard this, his heart ached, "Are you hurt?"

"No, I was lucky last night. So many stones didn't touch me at all. Thanks to Master and Master Bai for their careful protection." Meng Changqing finished the porridge in front of him and asked: "Is there any more?"

"There is still in the pot."

Meng Changqing took the bowl and got off the kang, "I'll drink another bowl."

"I'll serve it for you." Liang Jiujiu reached out to take her bowl.

"No need." Meng Changqing walked around her and walked outside.

Liang Jiujiu took two deep breaths and sat on the edge of the Kang. Wen helped her smooth her back and said, "Don't worry, her father and brother will protect her."

"I just hope that the general and the young masters can protect Changqing." Liang Jiujiu clasped his hands together, "Bless her not to have any accidents again."

Meng Changqing came back with a full bowl of porridge and ate two pieces of cake with it before he was satisfied.

"Don't go to sleep immediately after eating. Go outside for a walk." Wen added, "If you feel tired, just sit here."

"I'd better go out for a walk." Meng Changqing went out to find Yang Zheng and looked at the work points of each citizen recorded in his account book.

Calculate the total number of unredeemed work points and see if there is enough food in the warehouse.

As a result, before he could add up the total, he saw two errors in the account book, and Meng Changqing pointed them out to him.

Yang Zheng was very embarrassed, and his face turned red when he corrected the mistakes.

"Brother Yang, you have never been exposed to this kind of thing before. It is normal for you to make miscalculations. However, you have written down every entry and exit. Even if there are mistakes, you can easily see them. It is not a big deal. You are willing to help me do such a tedious task. I'm already very grateful to you."

"Mr. Meng, please stop talking." Yang Zheng's face became increasingly red, "I didn't think I was stupid before, but when it comes to these things, I'm not as good as Zhang Yuan who often complains.

Although he complained in words, he made no mistakes in writing.

Otherwise, I'll go ask him and let him do this. "

"No need." Meng Changqing said, "This work-point system will not last long. More than 1000 people are coming soon. They are relocating the entire village and cannot adapt to such a work-point system in a short time."

"You mean, when those 1000 people arrive, there will be no work points?"

"Yes, the work points they already have will be exchanged for food normally, but the things they do will no longer be counted as work points."

"Okay!" Yang Zheng felt that the sky was getting brighter when he heard the news. "When will those people come?"
