Chapter 424 Sending Buddha to the West

Bafang scratched his nose, "I was outside just now and heard what you told Brother Yang to do."

Meng Changqing asked him to sit down and talk.

Bafang said, "Wouldn't it be easier to be exposed if we do this? Although you told them not to reveal their identities, you also said that as long as it is done by humans, there will inevitably be omissions."

"Since I have issued a pass, I am not afraid of being found out."

"If Lord Wei finds out about what you did, he will probably blame you." Bafang thought again, "However, when that person said these words, Lord Bai was right beside him. You can't hide it for Lord Wei even if you want to."

"It's not because of this." Meng Changqing said, "If he reports this matter, it is his responsibility. I am just pushing it from behind, but I can't show it on the surface.

Lord Wei has been very kind to me. He has provided us with many conveniences since I came here.

If he did something wrong, I could have advised him against it, or I could have brought him back to Liangzhou Prefecture, protected him, and asked Lord Wei to give him an explanation.

By doing this, I am a grateful person. "

"But if you do that, the emperor might think you are too sentimental."

"That's what he said, but would he like someone who always follows the rules and sticks to principles?" Meng Changqing shook his head, "No. What kind of person he likes and what kind of person he is willing to use depends on what he is thinking at that moment."

This is because she, as a subordinate, has no choice but to do so under human rule.

That's it!

"I thought that Hong Sifang used a fake identity and went deep into Daliang Fudi just to destroy." Meng Changqing said, "I would rather he was that kind of person. If he were to fight against a country or a town alone, his ability to destroy would always be limited. Secondly, he has his faith to accompany him. Even if he is eventually discovered and killed, he is not alone.

But if his origins were really as he said, it would be too tragic. He did that almost impossible thing, not even for revenge, but just to ask for justice and let the wrong person bear the responsibility he should bear. Such a big risk, to encounter a foreseeable outcome.

I really want to see whether this ending will exceed my expectations. "

One morning a few days later, Meng Changqing was stopped by Yang Zheng when he walked out of the yamen.

"Sir." Yang Zheng looked around and said, "There's news coming back about the matter you asked me to investigate."

"What does the letter say?" Meng Changqing asked.

Yang Zheng pulled out an unopened letter from his arms and handed it to Meng Changqing with both hands. "I just received it and I didn't have time to read it."

Meng Changqing took it and tore open the envelope. The content of the letter said that they had heard news about Hong Sifang at a checkpoint in Yizhou. The man had just passed through this checkpoint four days ago and said he was going to Beijing to visit his relatives.

The letter ends by asking if we want to continue investigating southwards.

Meng Changqing returned the letter to Yang Zheng, "Continue to investigate, tell them to speed up, and try to catch up with this person, follow him from a distance, follow him into the capital, and then find the housekeeper of the Meng Mansion and come back."

"Yes, I'll write them back right away."

After Yang Zheng left, Meng Changqing stood at the gate of the yamen for a while. Just as he was about to continue doing what he had done before, he turned around and bumped into someone.

When Luo Sha saw who had hit him, his face froze with fear. "Sir, I was blind. Are you okay?"

It was just a light touch and it didn't matter. Meng Changqing didn't want to bother about these little things, so he waved his hand.

Then he saw that his right hand was clenched, so he asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
