Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Those who are away from home can never understand the anxiety of those waiting at home.

Meng Changqing sat in Liangzhou Prefecture, seriously watching the play.

The emperor only sent people to arrest Liu Dexiang. After he left, the mess he left behind remained in the Liangzhou government office.

Hua Rujin wanted to lock up those Liu family servants, of course, on charges of theft.

Before Hua Rujin's men even reached them, the group begged for mercy, saying they had acted out of momentary confusion and panic, and pleaded with Hua Rujin not to pursue the matter.

Hua Rujin paid no attention to these people. The scene was chaotic, and locking up a few people would serve as a warning to others.

Among those people, there were some quick-witted ones who, seeing that asking for flowers like gold was useless, sought help from Mao Chunfang.

The people below didn't know much, and at this point they still thought Mao Chunfang had a good relationship with her master.

"Lord Mao, please plead for us! We couldn't take these things out of the country either," the kneeling man begged. "For your sake and my master's..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mao Chunfang quickly interrupted him, "I have nothing to do with your father; it's just normal official interaction."

Before saying this, Hua Rujin only wanted to lock them up and begged Mao Chunfang for help. Well, she got five extra lashes in return.

Meng Changqing saw that there was nothing to watch, mainly because Bafang had turned Liu Dexiang's study and bedroom upside down, but hadn't found anything useful.

Meng Changqing also knew that many things would not leave evidence, so he was not disappointed if he could not find any.

As he was about to leave, Meng Changqing bid him farewell, saying, "Lord Hua, we are, after all, county officials. We can manage the chaotic people here temporarily, but we can't really manage the various affairs of the prefectural government."

“Yes,” Luo Mao said. “Even if we’re doing this out of kindness, it’s hard to avoid gossip if things don’t go well.”

Hua Rujin certainly didn't want to take on this mess either. With Meng Changqing and Luo Mao offering a way out, he could just let it go.

“Prefect Sun is currently recuperating in my Beishan County. Although he hasn’t fully recovered, there are priorities, so for now, we can only ask him to endure his illness and return to the government office to take charge of the work.” “Yes,” Luo Mao replied.

Mao Chunfang smiled as she looked at the people in front of her. After Meng Changqing finished greeting the group and left the prefectural government, Mao Chunfang had also left the prefectural government at some point.

"Lord Meng," Mao Chunfang beckoned to Meng Changqing, "Wait a moment, shall we travel together?"

Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Of course it would be great."

Mao Chunfang's horse was quickly brought over, and the group of people quickly got ready.

When Meng Changqing saw that he only brought these few people, he knew that Mao Chunfang's spies in Liangzhou Prefecture were quite capable and must be people that Mao Chunfang absolutely trusted.

“You have far too few people around you,” Meng Changqing said.

Mao Chunfang said, "Lord Meng has too many people around him."

"More people are always better than fewer people." Meng Changqing knew he was going to use some kind of riddle again, but it didn't matter; she was quite good at riddles herself.

If you don't say it, I won't say it either. I won't bother trying to guess what you mean, but you, Mao Chunfang, will definitely guess. Go ahead and guess.

With Mao Chunfang trailing behind, talking nonsense, Meng Changqing's return journey was much slower. Finally, when they reached the crossroads of parting, Meng Changqing immediately sped up his horse.

The dust kicked up by the horse team covered Mao Chunfang and the others' faces.

Mao Chunfang covered her mouth and nose and quickly moved to the side, yelling, "You despicable bastard!"

When Meng Changqing returned to the Beishan County government office, before she even dismounted, Sun Xiang ran towards her, "Lord Meng, I heard..."

There was no need to say anything more, because Meng Changqing immediately said, "Liu Dexiang has been arrested, and Liangzhou Prefecture is in chaos. Lord Sun, you must return to the prefectural office as soon as possible."
