Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 476 Rare

He stretched out his hands uncontrollably and held the pair of jade bottles in his hands.

The cold touch could not bring him back to his senses, and the delicate texture dragged him into the abyss of desire.

It's almost right in front of my eyes and I can't find any flaws.

"It's really a rare treasure!" Liu Dexiang exclaimed.

Meng Changqing flattered: "Your Excellency likes it. It seems that I came to the right place today."

Liu Dexiang smiled twice out of courtesy and said, "Lord Meng is very thoughtful." After he finished admiring the bottle, he put it back into the box and asked the old servant to put it away.

His eyes followed the box in the old servant's hand until the other party put it away and turned back. Only then did he sit down with determination.

"Serve tea to Lord Meng." Liu Dexiangzong was finally polite, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Meng Changqing sat down, straightened his clothes, and didn't rush to speak.

As expected, Liu Dexiang spoke first, "Master Meng, you came back to Liangzhou Prefecture. Do you have something to tell me?"

Meng Changqing smiled back first, and then spoke, "Mr. Futai is very smart. I do have something to report to you."

"Might as well just say it."

"Yes, I delivered an official document to Liangzhou Prefecture a few days ago. I wonder if you have seen the document, sir?"

Liu Dexiang raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have never seen any official documents from your Beishan County?"

"Ah! It is indeed so!" Meng Changqing said pretentiously, "I guessed that the document must have been lost somewhere. If Your Excellency had seen it, how could you not respond?"

Liu Dexiang forced a smile and said, "Yes, this government never delays in official business. However, since it's lost, there's nothing we can do. Sir Meng, please send it again." This was a well-spoken statement. He didn't ask what was written on the document and directly asked her to send it again.

He obviously knew the content and did not want to discuss it with Meng Changqing in person.

Meng Changqing had expected him to do this, so he had already rewritten a copy and kept it in his arms.

In front of Liu Dexiang, Meng Changqing took out the official document, stood up and handed it to Liu Dexiang with both hands, "I have anticipated this and have rewritten a copy. Please have a look at it, Your Excellency."

The smile on Liu Dexiang's face disappeared. Meng Changqing didn't look at him, but lowered his head and stretched out his hands forward.

After a stalemate for a while, Liu Dexiang made the first move. He laughed twice, and his laughter was somewhat dissatisfied with Meng Changqing. "In that case, I will accept it myself."

Upon hearing this, the old servant next to him stepped forward to take the thing from Meng Changqing's hand.

Meng Changqing refused to give it to Liu Dexiang, and insisted on handing it over to him. She smiled and said, "Sir, the documents I write are always brief. They are just a few sentences. I think it won't be a big deal. Please take a look at it now."

I don’t know if it was because of the pair of jade bottles or because he didn’t want to give Meng Changqing such an obvious handle, but in any case, Liu Dexiang reached out and took it.

In front of Meng Changqing, he opened the document and started reading it.

"Sir Meng." After reading it, Liu Dexiang threw the document on the table and said, "Do you think this is in accordance with the rules?

According to the court's regulations, the city walls in Daliang should be repaired every three years. As far as I know, the city walls in Beishan County were repaired last year. Why are they being repaired again this year?"

"Sir, as the saying goes, special matters should be handled specially. Beishan County is in a special location after all. It is only separated from the Yan army and the barbarians by a wall. It cannot be treated the same as the walls of other places. For the safety of the people of Beishan County and the peace of Daliang, I think this matter cannot be ignored and must be repaired this year."

Since he came to test the other party, Meng Changqing had no intention of flattering him to the end. He had to irritate the other person so that he could see what was behind the disguise.
