Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Liu Dexiang was angry for half an hour because Meng Changqing refused to obediently fall into the trap.

They wanted to ask Old Lin to come and think of another solution, but the servants told them that they couldn't find Steward Lin.

"This old fool!" Liu Dexiang couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he simply had someone bring over his new concubine so he could rest for the time being.

The next day, looking out from the entrance of the county government office at Bafang Station, Cheng Guang passed by and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes and no."

Cheng Guang asked with interest, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"You went back last night, I don't know."

The prefect insisted that our lord go to Liangzhou Prefecture, and the reasons he gave were rather ridiculous. Our lord didn't fall for it, and he won't give up easily; he'll most likely send someone else.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a man on horseback galloped towards them on the distant official road, clapping his hands in all directions, exclaiming, "See, I told you so!"

Cheng Guang also wanted to hear what ridiculous reason it was, so he stood at the door and waited.

As the group drew closer, it became clear that it was Zhou Xing who had returned this time.

"Why did you come back by yourself?" Cheng Guang asked.

Before Zhou Xing could even catch his breath, he exclaimed, "Big news!"

"What matter has the prefect brought up this time?" Bafang asked.

Zhou Xing waved his hand, "Quickly tell the magistrate that something has happened in Liangzhou Prefecture, Liu Dexiang has been arrested."

"What!" Ba Fang exclaimed in surprise as he ran towards the yamen. Halfway there, seeing Zhou Xing lagging behind, he shouted, "Who arrested him?"

"I'm from the capital." Zhou Xing was only a few steps behind Ba Fang, after all, he had just dismounted and couldn't outrun Ba Fang.

The noise outside was so loud that Meng Changqing could naturally hear it from his study.

Before anyone could report, Meng Changqing came out and asked, "What clothes are the people who came wearing?"

Zhou Xing said, "Our people said they were dressed similarly to Lord Bai and the others."

"Those are the emperor's men." Meng Changqing said, "I have to go see what's going on!"

Ba Fang's eyes widened. "Young Master, could it be that Prefect Liu deliberately spread false information?"

“Even pigs can become clever sometimes; who knows, he might suddenly become smart,” Meng Changqing said. “Get ready, Zhou Xing, take another group of men from the county government to the checkpoint.”

Cheng Guang, I'm taking a group of men to Liangzhou Prefecture. You take the rest of the men and guard the county government office.

"Bafang, go and summon Lord Bai. Tell him to take half of his troops and come with us to Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Sigh!" Bafang ran quickly towards the courtyard.

Soon, everything was arranged at Meng Changqing's place, and everyone went about their business.

Following Meng Changqing, they quickly headed towards Liangzhou Prefecture.

No matter how fast Meng Changqing was, she was still a step too late when she arrived in Liangzhou Prefecture.

Earlier that day, in the early morning.

Liu Dexiang was still dreaming when he heard someone banging on the door.

Who dares to be so rude?
The question had barely crossed his mind before someone kicked the door open.

A man entered, brandishing a knife. "Liu Dexiang, the prefect of Liangzhou, has been accused of trespassing on military secrets and entering a military camp without permission. His Majesty has decreed that you be brought to the capital for questioning!"

After he finished speaking, a series of people entered Liu Dexiang's bedroom.

These people pinned Liu Dexiang to the bed, and his new concubine screamed in terror, eventually rolling onto the floor.

Liu Dexiang had no way to deal with it and was immediately tied up and put on a carriage.

When a group of people suddenly arrived at the government office, everyone who heard the news gathered around to watch.

Among those who were observing was Old Lin, who had left earlier.

He watched as Liu Dexiang was pushed onto the carriage, feeling incredibly fortunate that he had left earlier. (End of Chapter)
