Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 594 Why are you here?

"Which Miss Wei?"

Si Yuandao said, "She is a female guard serving the Second Princess."

The emperor never expected that the person ultimately implicated would be his own daughter.

The emperor wouldn't find it strange that even the people around the third prince were involved, but it was very strange that the person behind it all was his daughter who never meddled in other people's business.

"This man trespassed into the military camp. No matter why, I can no longer employ him," the emperor said. "I have already issued an edict to have Liu Dexiang arrested and brought back to the capital. As for what to do with him then..." The emperor's gaze fell on Si Yuandao. "You, my dear minister, make a decision."

"Your subject will certainly handle this impartially." Si Yuandao knew in his heart that although he said he would handle it impartially, he would definitely punish the offender severely.

"Go back."

"Yes."

The emperor sat on the chair for a long time. Just as Eunuch Qian was about to step forward to persuade him, the emperor spoke up, "Summon Zhang Feng to see me."

"Yes." Eunuch Qian did not give any instructions to others. After instructing the other servants to take good care of the emperor, he went to make his own trip.

When the emperor met Zhang Feng, he didn't say anything else but ordered him to investigate the relationship between the Wei family and Liu Dexiang.

On the same day, at the same time, in Beishan County.

Unlike the emperor's worried expression, Meng Changqing stood happily in the courtyard.

After seeing the guests off, Cheng Guang ran back with a big grin, "Sir, we're leaving."

Meng Changqing nodded, and Cheng Guang smiled and said, "I took the liberty of having the kitchen prepare two portions of pastries."

"Well done." Looking at Cheng Guang's smiling face, Meng Changqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, clapping his hands and saying, "Tell me, what kind of luck is this!"

"Yes, I didn't expect Lord Cao to help," Cheng Guang said. "And I certainly didn't expect that person to be so stupid."

Meng Changqing said, "Before I even made a move, Lord Cao kicked him into the pit. Ah, how convenient!"

Just as Meng Changqing was sighing, Sun Xiang happened to pass by and asked, "What's making you two so happy?"

"Speaking of which, this matter is related to you," Meng Changqing said to Sun Xiang. "Just now, the constables from Weishan County came by order, saying that Prefect Liu broke into the military camp, which caused Song Qingfeng to plead guilty to the imperial court. Ostensibly, he was pleading guilty, but in reality, he was filing a complaint."

In that case, Lord Liu will probably not have a good ending.

"If I had known this would happen, there would have been no need for you to submit your memorial, Lord Sun."

Sun Xiang shook his head with a wry smile, "They say hindsight is always 20/20, and now I finally understand what that means."

"If you regret it, I can send someone to retrieve it for you." Although Meng Changqing said this, he guessed that the other party probably wouldn't let him go after it.

Sure enough, Sun Xiang then said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Meng, but it's not necessary. Since I've already submitted the memorial, I've already made my plans."

Meng Changqing asked him how he was feeling, and Sun Xiang explained his current situation in detail. He was generally recovering and was better than before, but as Meng Changqing had said that day, it was impossible for him to return to the state he was in before the poisoning.

Meng Changqing told him to take good care of himself.

Seeing that Sun Xiang had entered the room, Meng Changqing still had important business to attend to.

She instructed Cheng Guang to arrange two groups of people to go to the prison with her.

It's time to release them.

The prison in Beishan County was located in a secluded place not far from the county government office.

Meng Changqing could smell the stench even before he went inside.

With so many people crammed inside, and excrement not being cleaned up promptly, it naturally stank.

After Meng Changqing went inside, he searched for a while before finally finding Lao Lin in the crowd.

Meng Changqing's disguise was convincing.

"Butler Lin?" she called out softly, unsure at first.

When the person inside looked up at her, Meng Changqing's expression became quite interesting, first disbelief, then regret. "Oh my, it really is you! Butler Lin, what are you doing here!"
