Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

The next morning, Meng Changqing, along with Cheng Guang and the others, waited early at the post station.

After having breakfast with Feng Zhong'an and the others, Meng Changqing said, "I remember your instructions, sir. I have prepared the carriages and horses and am just waiting for you to have time to go to the city wall."

"Alright." Feng Zhong'an stood up and said, "Then let's go as soon as possible."

Cheng Guang listened attentively to his words, trying to see if he was as the adult had said, and whether he wanted to keep the people around him in the county town.

really!

As Feng Zhong'an was about to board the carriage, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Xu Xiaoyun and Li Daolang, "After all, it's a border city wall, so we can't take too many people. Let's not bring anyone else except the driver."

Cheng Guang looked at him suddenly, and it was indeed as the adult had expected.

Li Daolang had no objection and responded before getting into the carriage, while Xu Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment before getting in, vaguely feeling that what he said was a bit strange.

If Feng Zhong'an had such concerns, why didn't he give instructions last night?
Don't say you only realized it after all; such a situation doesn't exist for cunning and calculating people like them.

Feng Zhong'an said to the yamen runners around him, "You can stay in the county town."

"Yes."

Meng Changqing looked at Feng Zhong'an and smiled, "Lord Feng is indeed very thoughtful."

After they boarded the carriage, Meng Changqing mounted his horse and led the way at the front of the group.

Once the caravan had left, many yamen runners remained at the post station.

Cheng Guang looked at the yamen runners and invited them to sit inside the inn.

The leading constable completely ignored Cheng Guang. After watching the carriages and horses travel a distance, he led several people outside.

Cheng Guang immediately followed, ignoring their attitude and expression, and kept asking them where they were going.

He followed them all the way, asking questions, until they reached the entrance of the county government office.

The head constable flashed his badge at the guards at the Beishan County Government Office, indicating that he was on orders from his superiors to search for suspicious persons inside the office.

The men guarding the door immediately looked at Cheng Guang.

At this point, Cheng Guang stopped wasting words and directly drew his knife.

Seeing this, the county guards also drew their swords. "What do you mean? Are you intentionally protecting a suspicious person?" the head guard shouted.

"I know you can't understand human language," Cheng Guang said loudly, staring at the group. "You want to search the county government office? You'll need an imperial edict!"

The leading constables from the capital city had not expected them to be so assertive and disregard all consideration for face.

There was no way out, no room for change; the statement was made definitively.

This is really a difficult matter.

There are only two choices now: either fight them head-on and rush in to find them, or slink away like this, find Lord Feng, and then figure out a solution.

The first method is clearly not advisable; it results in significant losses and is not in the right.

Feng Zhong'an left Beishan County and continued north along the official road.

Meng Changqing led the way and sped along, and Feng Zhong'an and the others had no peace and quiet along the way in order to keep up with him.

It felt like being tortured to ride in the carriage.

Finally, the carriage stopped.

When Feng Zhong'an got off the car, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow! Wow, this city wall is really amazing!" Li Daolang exclaimed, looking up at the city wall in front of him.

As far as Feng Zhong'an could see, there were only city walls.

Looking left and right, it seemed boundless; looking up, it was blindingly bright, the light reflecting off the sharp blades held by the guards.

"My lords, please." Meng Changqing had already arrived at the steps.

"Lord Meng, when I first heard that you built this city wall in just three months, I thought it wouldn't be as sturdy as a regular city wall. But I never expected it to be such a tall and imposing wall."

"It's quite a sight to behold today." Li Daolang didn't care about Feng Zhong'an at this moment, and had already followed behind Meng Changqing as he spoke.

"I don't deserve such praise from Lord Li," Meng Changqing said with a smile. "It's all thanks to the hard work of the people of Liangzhou."
