Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

It is said that it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down, but for this mountain and this matter, the opposite is true.

After some planning when going up the mountain, everything is set when going down the mountain.

Meng Changqing led his men and forced the bandits down the mountain.

All the bandits were imprisoned in Beishan County Prison. This was the first time so many people visited the prison since it was built, and there were almost not enough cells.

The dead Ma Qing was also placed inside. Considering that there were young children among the bandits, Meng Changqing finally showed some kindness and asked someone to find a piece of linen to cover Ma Qing from head to toe.

Meng Changqing returned to the county government office and did not rest for a moment. He immediately went into the study and quickly wrote the official document that he would send to Wei Fangyun later. He asked Bafang to deliver it to Liangzhou Prefecture first, and then he found the yamen runners who were resting.

"My lord." Everyone who was originally sitting and resting in the room immediately stood up when they saw her come in.

Yang was about to open the window. After all, dozens of grown men were crowded together, and many of them had taken off their shoes. The smell was really bad.

"No need." Meng Changqing stopped him, "You've worked hard, not just last night, you've been on guard for the past month, especially Qian Deming and your two groups, you've been hiding in people's homes for many days without going out, it's really suffering.

Fortunately, your efforts have not been in vain. After conquering the dangerous mountain, everyone will be rewarded.

Each of you will receive one tael of silver. Ask Captain Yang to come with me later to get it and I will give it to you."

The bailiffs were overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you for the reward, sir! We swear to be loyal to you till death!"

When Meng Changqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat. There were some things she had never thought about, but now she had to think about them carefully.

"You're welcome. You deserve it." Meng Changqing left the room. Seeing her serious expression, Yang Zheng followed her out.

"Sir." He closed the door, "But is there anything wrong?"

Meng Changqing forced a smile, "What's wrong with that? You've thought things through, and luck is on our side, so you've done a great job. Brother Yang, I'm going to ask Lord Wei for credit for you!"

"But I think the master seems to be worried." Meng Changqing said casually: "Maybe he didn't eat much these two days, and didn't rest last night, so he feels a little uncomfortable."

"Although you are young, you must take good care of your health."

Meng Changqing nodded, "I understand. By the way, I have to trouble Brother Yang again, don't forget the reward money for the injured yamen runners. If they can't come, remember to find someone to send it to their homes.

They were injured on duty, and all medical expenses were paid by the government."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

The two walked towards Qi Renli's office. On the way, Meng Changqing said, "This matter is not only the work of the yamen runners, but also the cooperation of the people in the small village at the foot of the dangerous mountain.

In the past, I thought they came down from the mountains after all, and I never treated them as ordinary people.

This is me being narrow-minded.

Now, they should be treated as they should be. When the county recruits workers in the future, don’t find reasons to reject them.”

"Yes."

"As for the family whose food was stolen, find out how much was stolen from them and the government will give them all the food."

"Hey, I'll go after I get the money."

As soon as the two of them arrived at Qi Renli's door, it was opened. Qi Renli knew Meng Changqing's temper. After the successful suppression of bandits in Xianshan, Meng Changqing would definitely reward the yamen runners. He had something to do here, so he was waiting in the room.

Meng Changqing handed him the receipt for the money and was about to speak when Mancang came running over and shouted, "Master, the bath water is ready."

"I'm coming!" Meng Changqing smiled at Qi Renli, turned around and quickly followed Mancang. (End of this chapter)
