Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 591 Finally, I've endured until this point.

Hua Rujin followed them inside.

The two arrived at the main hall of the government office one after the other. There were many people standing inside. In addition to the four people who were supposed to be there, Mao Chunfang, Cao Hongxing, and Luo Mao had also arrived.

He must have just eaten breakfast, because Li Daolang was still wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.

Several county magistrates from Liangzhou stood behind Liu Dexiang and politely bid farewell to Feng Zhong'an and the others.

Meng Changqing and Hua Rujin's entry at this time naturally attracted attention.

Meng Changqing walked up to Feng Zhong'an and the others in a generous manner, saying, "This humble official is late and almost didn't have time to see you off."

Feng Zhong'an smiled in response, "Magistrate Meng, you are too kind. You all have your own official duties. If you are delayed because of us, then it would be our fault."

Liu Dexiang stared intently at Meng Changqing, wishing he could kill him on the spot, but he was worried about Feng Zhong'an and the others still in front of him and didn't want any further complications.

Anyway, after the three of them left, Liangzhou was still his territory.

Thinking of this, Liu Dexiang almost sneered.

“Lord Feng,” Xu Xiaoyun interjected with a smile, “if we don’t leave now, we might have to rush on the road.”

"Yes." Feng Zhong'an said to everyone, "Everyone, it's getting late, we should set off."

The crowd surrounded Feng Zhong'an and his group as they left.

After watching them board the carriage and then standing still until they were far away, Liu Dexiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and glared fiercely at Meng Changqing.

“Lord Meng,” Liu Dexiang said, “you have quite the airs.”

Meng Changqing smiled at him: "Your Excellency, you must have misunderstood. I have no airs at all."

Liu Dexiang finally managed a cold laugh, "You've detained so many people from my government office, and you still don't know your crime!" he suddenly shouted.

With someone as shameless as Meng Changqing, verbal reprimands were meaningless. Even if he were to hit and curse her like a rogue, she could easily dodge him and then mock his irrationality. "My lord, I truly do not understand what you are saying," Meng Changqing denied.

The other adults quickly tried to persuade him.

"My lord, there may be a misunderstanding here." Hua Rujin stepped in front of Meng Changqing. "Please allow Magistrate Meng to explain."

"Don't say I refused to give it to you..."

Liu Dexiang had only spoken half a sentence when a loud shout came from the side of the government office, "What are you doing!"

Meng Changqing recognized the voice; it was her master, Xi Bei.

She winked at Chu Mufeng, who was not far away, and the two of them leaped over in a few steps, quickly arriving at Xi Bei's side.

You can see that Xi Bei is doing her best to stop several government officials.

"What are you trying to do!" Meng Changqing demanded of the constables. At the same time, she noticed that she hadn't seen these constables before, but they looked like locals from Liangzhou. They were probably people who came to work at the government office after Liu Dexiang took office.

Since Meng Changqing held an official position, the constables panicked for a moment.

However, Meng Changqing's side was clearly outnumbered, and one of the bolder ones said, "What are you afraid of? Let's just take it first."

The other constables echoed this sentiment and reached out to snatch the horse.

Meng Changqing reacted quickly, kicking the one who was leading the charge. Meng Changqing didn't hold back at all, but the difference in strength between men and women was still too great. The constable only took five or six steps back before he was able to stand firmly against the wall.

"Insolence!" Meng Changqing shouted as he continued to strike the constables.

Since Meng Changqing had already made his move, Xi Bei no longer needed to hold back. She raised her knife and slashed, but the knife remained sheathed.

Chu Mufeng unsheathed his sword and followed behind Xi Bei, tapping anyone who fell to the ground and then tried to get up again.

Finally, the commotion attracted the attention of the officials at the government office.
