Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 532 Waiting Here Already

Meng Changqing looked at the serious face in front of him and couldn't help but start to reflect.

Zhou Xing didn’t know whether it was his innate character or he was influenced by the bad company he kept, but regardless of the past or the present, what was certain was that Zhou Xing saw her as the same type of person.

"You should go back and keep an eye on it. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

"Yes. And there's Miss Mo's matter. According to the news from Wanzhou, Miss Mo's plan is not going well. Lai Cai has used up all the money he brought with him. Now Miss Mo is paying for the work herself."

Zhou Xing was just asking if he wanted to give some more money.

"Since Miss Mo brought it herself, let's wait until she comes back to see how much she used."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I knew it was like this."

"What?" Meng Changqing drove him away, "Go find Zou Yan."

Since he knew that the people from the capital would arrive in Liangzhou City tomorrow, Meng Changqing went to bed early that night and rushed to Liangzhou City at yin time the next day.

Instead of entering the city, he walked around half a circle outside the city, preparing to wait at the South Gate.

When she arrived, she saw the yamen runners and guards were chasing people away and cleaning the place.

As she got a little closer, a yamen runner came over and shouted, "Hey! None of you have ears! No one is allowed to pass through here today. If you want to enter the city, go in through other gates."

Meng Changqing dismounted and untied his cloak to reveal the official uniform underneath.

The yamen runner who had come with his teeth bared and claws suddenly changed his face to a smile, "This sir." When he got closer, he saw, "It turned out to be sir Meng, why did you come here first?"

Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Why should I explain it to you?"

The yamen runner in front of him choked and immediately retreated back to the city gate. It was easy to imagine what he had said to the yamen runner. He saw that all the yamen runners were looking over here. After a while, some of them rode on fast horses and went back to the city.

I think he went to inform Liu Dexiang.

Meng Changqing put on his cloak again and asked Bafang to lead the horse to the side and tie it up. "I don't know how long we have to wait, Master, please bring me a hand warmer." When Bafang handed it over, the hand warmer was still hot. Meng Changqing only realized now that the package he brought along was filled with this thing.

Meng Changqing looked at him, he spoke much less than before, and seemed to be doing things more carefully, "Thank you."

Ba Fang quickly retreated to the side. When he passed by Xi Bei, he was slapped on the back. Xi Bei said to him, "Here we go again! Let's see how long you can hold it in this time! How can you not make the gong ring when it becomes a spirit?"

Meng Changqing didn't have time to care about them now. He was busy rehearsing in his mind what might happen later.

I wondered whether the ones from Beijing would arrive first, or Liu Dexiang would arrive first.

It didn't take long for reality to tell her the answer.

Liu Dexiang came first, followed by Mao Chunfang.

Meng Changqing took off his cloak and stepped forward to greet them, "Mr. Futai, Mr. Mao, good morning."

Liu Dexiang glanced at Meng Changqing from his horse, the puzzlement in his eyes could not be hidden, "What is Lord Meng doing here?"

Meng Changqing smiled and replied: "We are preparing to receive the guests from the capital."

"Oh?" Liu Dexiang sneered, "Lord Meng is more informed than me. He even knows when the adults will arrive in Liangzhou City. Could it be that Lord Meng has already had connections with the officials who are under investigation this time?"

"Alas, Lord Liu thinks so much of me, you really misunderstood me too deeply." Meng Changqing said, "You said Lord Mao had connections with officials in Beijing, and others believed it. If you said that about me, then I was wronged."

Mao Chunfang, who had just got off his horse and was about to say hello to Meng Changqing, stopped. Haha, Meng Changqing is like a dog, biting everyone he sees.

"How have we ever wronged you?" Liu Dexiang was determined to throw dung on Meng Changqing's head. "If you don't know the inside story, why are you waiting here?"

Meng Changqing replied: "You all traveled north from the capital without hiding your whereabouts. If you were spotted by a silkworm merchant from Beishan County, I would naturally know about it.

Now that I know, I can't pretend I don't know. I'm just waiting here early to show my sincerity."
