Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Following the Liangzhou Prefecture's yamen runners into the room, they saw only Luo Mao sitting there.

"Lord Luo." Meng Changqing stepped forward and saluted.

Luo Mao put down the teacup that was covering his hands and hurriedly stood up to return the greeting, "Master Meng, Master Zeng."

"Can I meet Lord Mao?" Meng Changqing asked.

"No." Luo Mao said, "I seemed to hear Lord Mao's voice just now, but no one came in. I thought I heard it wrong."

"Master Mao probably has other things to do." Meng Changqing sat down next to Luo Mao and asked, "Master Hua and Master Cao haven't arrived yet?"

"I think they haven't arrived yet." Luo Mao was not sure. "I sat here for a while and didn't see them."

"Lord Zeng, you look so unhappy. Please take care of yourself." Luo Mao also knew what Zeng Jing's situation was and didn't want to get involved, but it would be impolite not to say hello in front of him, so he could only express his concern verbally.

"Lord Luo." Zeng Jing looked at Luo Mao pitifully. He was waiting for the other party to talk to him so that he could tell him about his worries and ask him to plead for him. However, he did not expect Luo Mao to just nod and then move sideways towards Meng Changqing.

"How many sheets of paper did Meng Changqing use for his congratulatory article this year?"

Meng Changqing knew it very well that he just wanted to avoid Zeng Jing's sight.

He simply took out the folded paper from the pouch at his waist and said, "It's about the same as last year."

"Oh?" Luo Mao thought it was strange. The prefect had been replaced, so how could there be so much to write? "Can you show it to me?"

Meng Changqing handed it over, "Master Luo, please take a look."

Luo Mao read the contents on the paper faster and faster. He finally understood what it meant to be a complete nonsense.

Luo Mao returned He Wen to Meng Changqing and chatted with her for a while.

Zeng Jing also understood what they meant and found a stool in the corner and sat down.

After a while, Hua Rujin came in and exchanged pleasantries again.

But after Hua Rujin came in, everyone waited for a long time, but no one else came in. "Master Cao hasn't arrived yet, right?" Hua Rujin suggested, "I think the wind and snow in Weishan County are even heavier, how about sending someone to greet him on the road?"

Meng Changqing looked at Luo Mao. Seeing that no one else spoke, Luo Mao could only speak up himself. "If there is a heavy snowstorm in Weishan County, it may be difficult for people outside to get in. Lord Cao is very methodical in his work. If he cannot arrive in time, he must have other arrangements."

Hua Rujin had no choice but to nod.

After waiting in the room for a long time, it was almost time for lunch when someone around Liu Dexiang came in and said, "Please move to the Snow Viewing Hall."

Meng Changqing had been to the Liangzhou government office many times, but this was the first time he knew there was a place called Guanxue Hall in the government office.

I followed the man to the destination and found out that it was the compartment next to the study.

After entering, I saw Liu Dexiang sitting in the upper seat and Mao Chunfang sitting below him.

After entering, several people hurriedly bowed and greeted each other. Mao Chunfang stood up and stood aside, while Liu Dexiang drank hot tea leisurely. He left them alone for a long time before speaking, "Why does it seem like there's one person missing?"

Hua Rujin repeated the excuse about the heavy snow and wind in Weishan County.

Without waiting for Liu Dexiang to say anything else, Meng Changqing took two steps forward and directly handed over He Wen.

Liu Dexiang didn't ask anyone to answer the phone. Meng Changqing was just about to put He Wen down and leave when he saw the door curtain being lifted and Liu Dexiang's confidant walked in with an envelope in his hand.

He walked straight to Liu Dexiang, leaned over and whispered a few words into Liu Dexiang's ear.

Liu Dexiang's mouth corners immediately turned down.

Meng Changqing was close and heard their conversation.

Fortunately, Cao Hong was not coming, and his congratulatory message had already been sent over by his subordinates.

Liu Dexiang snorted coldly, "What a big air." (End of this chapter)
