Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Zhao Chuan, Wang Shancai, and several nearby garrison soldiers trembled at his roar.

"How could there be such arrogant people as you in this world!" Zheng Jie said. "How can you do this to the soldiers who died fighting for this land...?"

Zheng Jie is a man who either doesn't speak at all, or when he does, he makes sure to fully express his meaning.

In short, since he's decided to curse, he'll definitely curse until he feels good, and he'll curse with all sorts of quotations and allusions.

Meng Changqing left early; if she had known that Zheng Jie's insults were so effective, she would have watched the whole thing before leaving.

As for Song Qingfeng, despite his aloof name, he is actually quite shallow. He judges people by their appearance first, and if he sees someone good-looking, he will agree with whatever that person says.

Just like now, Zheng Jie was cursing so hard his blood was boiling, and he was standing by admiring it, with only two words in his mind: "Looks good."

Meng Changqing had no idea what became of the soldiers on the walls of Hongjia County.

Two days later, Zhang Yuan came to see Meng Changqing and talked about what happened over there.

"Sir, do you know who went to Hongjia County?" Zhang Yuan knew Meng Changqing to some extent and knew how to speak in a way that would pique his interest.

Sure enough, Meng Changqing's expression became lively. "Who?"

"Yu Tai".

When Zhang Yuan suddenly mentioned this name, Meng Changqing was a little unfamiliar with it. He rummaged through his memories before he remembered that this was the person Zhang Yuan had replaced.

"Commander Yu?"

“It’s him!” Zhang Yuan exclaimed. “Yesterday, when I was on patrol over Hongjia County, I happened to see him on the city wall. Isn’t that a coincidence?”

"But he's no longer a military commander. You wouldn't know if you weren't in the army, the court abolished that position a couple of years ago. He was still a captain, but his rank was far superior to his subordinates'." Zhang Yuan said, a hint of envy in his voice. Meng Changqing, however, was completely unconcerned with such matters, only inquiring, "Wasn't he sent to Yangmen County to suppress bandits? Why did he go to Hongjia County again?"

When Meng Changqing asked this question, he was thinking, she had forgotten this person, but there was someone she shouldn't have forgotten. Mao Chunfang was officially killed by bandits, so how come he, the person in charge of suppressing the bandits, didn't bear any responsibility?
Zhang Yuan, holding a teacup, said, "Speaking of the bandit suppression, he was chatting with his subordinates yesterday and said that it was fortunate that he was transferred back to Weishan Camp last year, otherwise he would have been implicated in the killing of Magistrate Mao."

Meng Changqing didn't believe in any "fortunate" explanation. "Then what was he doing in Hongjia County?"

"To serve as the deputy commander of Hongjia Battalion."

"What about that Zhao Chuan?" Meng Changqing asked again.

“He’s been demoted, and he’s taking Wang Shancai’s place.” Without Meng Changqing having to ask any further questions, he continued, “Wang Shancai has been transferred back to Weishan Camp. I don’t know what he’ll be doing back at the camp.”

Meng Changqing was puzzled, "Didn't they say they would only fine the military pay?" Could there be more to the story that night?

"Yes, that was General Song's idea, but Prefect Zheng felt that fining the military pay was too lenient, and he believed that Zhao Chuan and Wang Shancai bore greater responsibility in this incident and that the two of them had to be replaced."

"Is replacing Yu Tai the idea of ​​Prefect Zheng?" Meng Changqing was inquisitive, and Zhang Yuan obviously knew this as well.

He leaned closer to Meng Changqing and whispered, "I inquired indirectly, but he only said it was the camp's decision."

Meng Changqing waved his hand in disappointment, "We haven't found out anything, yet you're making it all so mysterious."

Yu Tai really does possess some supernatural abilities, and Meng Changqing mentally assessed whose side he was on.

In Liangzhou, there are only two people: Song Qingfeng and Zheng Jie.

How long has Zheng Jie been in Liangzhou? Yu Tai was able to transfer from Beishan County to Yangmen County long before Zheng Jie arrived, which clearly indicates that some connections were established back then. However, it cannot be ruled out that Zheng Jie is a newly developed relationship with Yu Tai. (End of Chapter)
