Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 283 The Court Should Thank Me
In the government office, after the foreman left, no matter what Wen Ru said, Meng Changqing pretended not to hear it and sat on the chair without saying a word or looking at him.

"What does Lord Meng mean by this now?" Since Wen Ruxu saw Meng Changqing, all his self-control over the years has been thrown to the wind. If he could beat Meng Changqing, he really wanted to kick him.

Meng Changqing spoke in a rather pretentious tone, "I don't want to say anything more until my people get here."

"You don't believe in my ability?"

Meng Changqing raised his eyes and said, "I don't believe in your sincerity."

Everyone in the group looked at Lord Wen with their nostrils dilated. My goodness, this man would not be pissed off to death by his young master, would he?

Wen Ruxu picked up the teacup beside him. Perhaps drinking tea could not calm his anger, so he put the teacup down heavily, "In that case, you wait here by yourself."

He stood up and left.

But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Meng Changqing, "Sir Wen, you should wait with me. I don't trust you much, and if you leave my sight again, I will not trust you even more."

Wen Ruxu took a step aside and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not." He insisted on leaving, but heard Meng Changqing sneer, "Then I can do whatever I want."

Wen Ruxu gritted his teeth, turned around and stared at Meng Changqing, "What do you want?"

"Master Wen, has no one ever told you that you are a strange person?"

Wen Ruxu's expression changed slightly.

Meng Changqing didn't wait for him to speak, and continued with what he had just said, "I want you to return my people to me intact. You want to talk to me one moment, and then leave alone the next, and you still ask me what I want?
What do you want!

What's going on? Did you eat my people? You can't hand them over anymore, so you're so restless?"

Just as Wen Ruxu was about to speak, Meng Changqing spoke first, "Master Wen, you are an elderly man after all, can you speak and act more prudently?"

"You...you!" Wen Ruxu pointed at Meng Changqing with one hand and touched his heart with the other hand, looking like he was about to faint at any time.

The attendant standing by quickly stepped forward, helped Wen Ruxu sit down on the chair, and brought tea to him.

Seeing his master being bullied like this, the attendant who had been holding back a lot of words just now turned to Meng Changqing and said, "Master Meng is very eloquent. My master can't argue with you. However, no matter the official rank or age, my master is above you. You should respect my master. It's really uncultured to be so rude."

Meng Changqing looked at him and asked, "Do you have any honors or official positions?"

"Although I don't hold an official position, I know etiquette. Regardless of other things, just talking about age, my master is so old. If you make him angry, how will you explain to the court?"

No one knew what was going on in Meng Changqing's mind, but he laughed happily twice.

"If your master is really mad at me to death, then the court should thank me." Meng Changqing showed no mercy, he stood up and pointed at Wen Ruxu and said, "Such a foolish and useless official who only cares about his own interests! A corrupt official! If he dies here today because of my words, it is really the will of heaven, and it is his retribution!"

"You!" Wen Ruxu's hands began to tremble and his face turned purple. He was pretending just now, but now he was really about to pass out from anger.

Wen Ruxu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?" Meng Changqing did not say whether he was afraid or not, "If I really die in your hands, believe it or not, you will be struck by lightning when you go out, and your descendants, Wen Ruxu, will not die well. Your father's grave will be dug up just because he gave birth to such an evil child like you."

Wen Ruxu gnashed his teeth and said, "I will cut you into pieces."

Meng Changqing shook the hem of his clothes, turned around and sat down, took the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

She softened her tone and said slowly, "Master Wen, there is no point in arguing. You can't beat me in scolding, and I've scolded you enough. If you want to break me, you are welcome to break me. But with my temper and your physical condition, I will definitely twist your head off before you break me."

The attendant took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills as big as rat droppings, and fed them into Wen Ruxu's mouth, "You hold them in your mouth."

At this moment, the housekeeper regretted what he had said just now. This Lord Meng was just a hooligan. He didn't know the etiquette of officialdom, had no respect for the elderly, and was full of curses. How could such a person be an official? If the court was handed over to such a person, what would happen?

Meng Changqing talked too much and her mouth was dry. The cup of tea in her hand was almost finished. She saw the teapot was placed next to Wen Ruxu, so she went over there and prepared to take it and pour it for herself.

As a result, after only taking three steps, the master and servant looked at Meng Changqing vigilantly, as if Meng Changqing was really going to twist Wen Ruxu's head.

Meng Changqing said sarcastically, "Master Wen, you look guilty. Although I may not like to hear your words, I am always steady and will never twist your head for no reason."

She took the teapot and added tea for herself and Chu Mufeng beside her. "Your people are too slow in doing things. They are just looking for a few people, but there is still no news. Don't you send someone to chase them out and ask about the situation?"

Wen Ruxu waved his hand at his follower and said, "Go and find someone to chase him out and ask him."

Wen Ruxu's face was purple just now, but now it has turned gray. The attendant was very worried. He quickly went out to give a few instructions, then came back behind Wen Ruxu and looked at him with concern.

Wen Ruxu had never suffered so much in his life as he did today. Meeting Meng Changqing was like running into a devil.

He stared at the tiles in front of him with a vicious look. "Meng Changqing, you are so good. Today's humiliation will not be in vain. The person in front of him is just relying on the prince. Will the world of Daliang be handed over to the prince? Even if it is handed over to the prince, can you, Meng Changqing, guarantee that you will never fall out of favor?"

Furthermore, he was ordered by his attendants to ride fast on horseback to chase after the group of yamen runners.

Since he was assigned this task, he naturally knew something about the involved matters. After leaving the yamen, he went to the Hong family.

When he rode as fast as he could from Dazhou Prefecture all the way to the Hong family's gate, he saw that the group of people who had arrived before were still blocked at the door.

"Boss, where are the people?"

The former squad leader saw him coming and asked, "What new instructions do you have, sir?"

The man looked behind the squad leader and said, "My lord asked me to come and ask about the situation. Have you found the person? Why are you still at the door?"

"The Hong family has strict rules. The gatekeeper said that the letter just sent by the county magistrate's office frightened Master Hong, and now he needs to report it to each level."

"There's no time for that. Hurry up and ask the concierge to go in and tell the Hong family to release the people. That Mr. Meng is making a scene in the government office. Our Lord is so angry that he's taking heart pills."
