Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 386 I Don’t Want to Listen*
"Of course, this is my idea." Wei Fangyun asked Meng Changqing, "What do you think?"

"That's right, uncle. But Changqing also has concerns. Beishan County is only separated from the Yan bandits by a wall. There are no foreign enemies invading. Of course, everything is fine. But if we don't take good care of them, some of them may collude with the foreign enemies. The hidden dangers are really worrying." Meng Changqing smiled. "In the final analysis, it's because my nephew is not capable enough and I'm afraid that I won't take good care of them."

Wei Fangyun understood what Meng Changqing meant. "You have a point. Border security cannot afford any mistakes. Those people's bandit tempers are hard to change. They will definitely not obey discipline. They are indeed not suitable to stay in Beishan County."

He glanced out the window and said, "It's getting late now. Wait till tomorrow morning and ask Li Ting to bring those people here and detain them in Liangzhou Prefecture first. I will report to the court and have them sent to the southwest to open up wasteland."

Meng Changqing quickly stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, uncle!"

Wei Fangyun laughed twice, "Don't be polite to me. It's cold and hard to travel at night. There's nothing important at the county government office. Just stay here for one night. I have something to tell you."

"Yes." Meng Changqing said, "Then my nephew will go to the post house first and come back later."

Meng Changqing took Bafang to the posthouse.

The post officer still treated them warmly and prepared hot water and meals for them.

Bafang hurriedly took a shower and came out to see that it was already dark outside and the door of the inn was closed.

"Master, I'm wasting time, let's go."

"No hurry, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Bafang asked Meng Changqing.

"There are some things I need to think about whether I can say them."

Bafang sat down next to him after hearing this and said, "Then think about it."

As he thought about it, he remembered the servants in the government office coming to urge him, "Sir Meng, the wine and food are ready in the government office. You can go over after you have settled down."

In the government office, Wei Fangyun prepared a simple meal in the back hall. When he saw Meng Changqing and Bafang arrive, he asked someone to remove the stove under the casserole. "Please take a seat." Wei Fangyun said, "It's just the three of us. Don't be polite. Eat and drink."

"Thank you uncle."

Bafang also followed suit to express his gratitude.

The dishes and meals here at Wei Fangyun's place are always of a rough style. No matter whether it is meat or vegetables, it is best to cook them in one pot. Like today, in addition to a main dish, there are also two side dishes, which is considered to be quite exquisite.

Meng Changqing used Wei Fangyun's wine to toast him, "Thank you for the hospitality, uncle. Changqing will toast you first."

"Okay, okay." Wei Fangyun was very considerate and picked up the wine glass. The three of them clinked their glasses and after drinking, he said, "Although this wine is good, you are young. Don't drink too much. It's bad for your health. You should eat more vegetables." After saying that, he pushed the casserole in front of Meng Changqing and Bamian.

Lamb and radish noodles were stewed in a casserole and sprinkled with chili peppers.

Although it didn't look good, it was very filling. Meng Changqing ate two bowls in a row, and Ba Fang ate three bowls without stopping.

During dinner, the three of them chatted idly.

Since it was just gossip, it must be something unimportant. Meng Changqing was saying these unimportant things, but he was thinking about something important in his mind.

Wei Fangyun didn't take the lead in the conversation, and she couldn't say what was going on.

After dinner, Wei Fangyun found an excuse to get everyone away.

"I saw you looked at me two or three times just now. I think you have something to tell me." Wei Fangyun said, "I know what you want to say. Of course, you also know that I may not be unaware of this matter."

"Uncle, you are talking too much."

Wei Fangyun smiled and said, "Wait until you catch the person, I don't want to hear it now."
