Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 563 Add Two More Outfits
Song Qingfeng naturally waited to see the consequences of his unauthorized intrusion into the military camp.

After Liu Dexiang and his entourage left in a sorry state, Song Qingfeng wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital overnight by express courier.

The memorial was not a complaint, but a plea for forgiveness.

Due to his own incompetence, he failed to gain the trust of the imperial court and had to trouble Prefect Liu to lead a search of the military camp. However, with military regulations in sight, he dared not let anyone into the camp, so he apologized to the imperial court.

Song Qingfeng calculated the journey and estimated that the court would see his memorial in about five or six days.

The next morning.

Before Meizi's usual wake-up time, she was woken up by Boss Zeng.

"Someone from the yamen is here, telling you to go early today." Boss Zeng squatted by the bed, holding the clothes that Meizi was supposed to wear today.

Seeing that Meizi had opened her eyes, he helped her up and draped a coat over her shoulders. "It's still dark outside, I'll take you there."

After regaining consciousness, Meizi quickly dressed and ran outside without even putting on her shoes.

"Slow down, slow down, don't rush." ​​Zeng Laoda squatted down and straightened her official boots. "The yamen runner said that the lord has calculated the time, so there's no need to rush. Just set off early."

"Okay." Meizi looked around the kang (heated brick bed). "Where's the child?"

"I've taken the child to Sister Wan Jin's house. I'll pick her up when I get back." Zeng Laoda put his arm around Meizi and led her out the door. "Let's go."

Mei Zi kept wondering why the government office wanted her to go early.
She sensed something unusual as soon as she arrived near the county government office.

The yamen runners standing at the gate looked very energetic, and even the gate and steps of the county government office were cleaner than usual.

"You've arrived." The constable at the door nodded and greeted Meizi. "The magistrate is waiting for you inside."

Meizi quickened her pace. "I'm coming right now."

As soon as Zeng Laoda saw people enter the county government office, he was about to turn back when the yamen runner said to him, "Shu, you've come early, so you probably won't have time to eat. Go to the kitchen for breakfast before you go back."

Not wanting to trouble Meizi, Zeng Laoda smiled and said, "No, the child is still at home, I have to go back and keep an eye on him." He then thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't my third son home?"

"He's on duty this afternoon, wait a moment." The constable quickly entered the small room, wrapped two warm pancakes for him, and stuffed them into Zeng Laoda's hand without allowing him to refuse. "Take these and eat them on the way. This is what the master wants." "Yes, yes." Zeng Laoda accepted them somewhat embarrassedly.

On the way back to the city, Zeng Laoda was carrying two pieces of bread, thinking that he really benefited from Meizi's success.

Meizi, however, didn't bother with breakfast. She quickly went into her office and saw the adult sitting inside.

Meizi lowered the curtain, stood still, and bowed, "My lord."

"You're here." Meng Changqing stood up and asked, "Are you wearing too many clothes today?"

This question surprised Mei Zi, who said, "I'm dressed fairly warmly."

Meng Changqing looked at her and said, "That's not enough. I'll have to trouble you to settle the accounts in court today."

"Bafang," Meng Changqing said to the door, "Please ask Mother to find two thick clothes and have Mancang bring them over."

"My lord," Mei Zi said, puzzled, "why do we need to settle the accounts in court?"

Meng Changqing smiled, but did not intend to answer the question.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" Meng Changqing asked.

Mei Zi had already suspected on the way here that someone had come to check the accounts, and now, hearing what Lord Meng said, she thought to herself, "Just as I suspected."

"remember."

“Okay,” Meng Changqing said. “Remember this is our territory. No matter what kind of show of force the people come to, we shouldn’t take it seriously. We should just stick to the facts.”

"Yes!"

Meng Changqing looked at Mei Zi's coat and said, "After you've had breakfast, remember to wear this coat underneath."

Seeing that Mei Zi still looked a little nervous, Meng Changqing smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
