Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 13 If there is no road, dig a tunnel
In the small room in the corner of the post house, Meng Changqing found Wenshi.

Wen was assigning his servants to build beds for the soldiers.

"The newly purchased beddings are all spread out. I'd rather put two extra beds instead of letting them get cold."

"Mother, I have something to tell you."

Wen turned around and saw the wonderful expression on her face. She walked out of the hut and asked, "What happened?"

Meng Changqing sighed deeply, "When I returned to the city today, I saw that the city gate was blocked by refugees. I went around to the west gate to get in. Did you know? Those refugees are all residents of Beishan County."

Wen's eyes turned slightly, "When we were in the capital, we expected that it would not be a good place.

Pushing forward another 20 years, the entire Liangzhou was in constant war. The Meng family army fought here for many years before pushing the battle line outside Liangzhou. "

"Don't be impatient. No matter what happens in Beishan County, your mother and I will accompany you." Wen touched Meng Changqing's shoulder, "Mom believes that with your talents, you can build a city even in a wilderness. "

Meng Changqing sat down on the steps and thought for a while, "Mother, you should stay in Liangzhou City first."

"I don't want to, and if you tell your mother, she will definitely not want to either." Wen said, "We have already traveled from the capital to Liangzhou City, and then to Beishan County. How much difference can we make?"

Meng Changqing lowered his eyes, "I'm afraid I'll make you suffer."

Wen was about to continue persuading him when she saw Bafang running in in a hurry, "Master! The child you brought back is not good!"

Wenshi: "What child?"

"I picked up a child at the gate of the city." Meng Changqing calmed down for a moment, stood up and walked towards the lobby of the post house. On the way, he asked Bafang, "What happened to him?"

Bafang said quickly: "I got a bowl of noodles for the child. The child was eating it. Doctor Hu came over to check his pulse. After checking his pulse, he inserted a few needles into his body. The child immediately vomited, and the vomiting was incredible. In this case, Doctor Hu said that he would probably vomit to death."

After he finished speaking, Meng Changqing also arrived in the lobby.

The floor was covered with vomited filth, yellow, yellow and white mixed together.

The child was slumped in Lai Cai's hand, with needles stuck in his body and vomiting in his mouth.

Xiaodai brought in a dustpan of dried mud and covered it with the vomit. "Master, please step aside and don't step on it."

"Doctor Hu." Meng Changqing walked around behind Dr. Hu, "What's wrong with him?"

"What's the matter? Can she avoid death if she eats a belly full of mud? If she doesn't vomit it out, eating anything is going to kill her." Doctor Hu covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and held a needle in his hand, ready to give the child another shot at any time. .

When the child was about to vomit and faint, Doctor Hu inserted a needle into the Hegu point.

Then he took another needle in his hand and said, "If she spits out more now, she has a better chance of surviving."

Mrs. Wen followed and saw that the child was extremely thin and seemed to be vomiting out his heart and lungs when he vomited. He felt very unbearable.

This child must be from Beishan County, no wonder Changqing sighed.

The child finally couldn't vomit anymore, so Doctor Hu held her chin and poured a bowl of sweet soup into her mouth.

"Doctor Hu, how is the child?" Wen asked.

"It depends on her fate. The mud in the intestines can only be given to her by drinking medicine to see if it can be excreted." Doctor Hu pulled out the needle on the child. "If it is not expelled, she will die sooner or later. Don't give her anything to eat in private." , I will naturally arrange what she should eat."

Wen Shi thanked him and said, "I'm tired of having to worry about it, Doctor Hu."

Doctor Hu reluctantly handed her over and said to Meng Changqing, "Come here."

Meng Changqing followed Dr. Hu to his room. While Dr. Hu was washing his hands, Meng Changqing poured him a cup of hot tea, "You want to see me if you have anything to do?"

"I heard from Bafang that the child came from Beishan County?"

Meng Changqing: "Mostly yes."

"If you ask me, you should advise your mother to ask the emperor to change your place." Doctor Hu said, "If she begs for mercy, the emperor will definitely change the place because he is concerned about the opinions of the courtiers. It's really not possible..." Meng Changqing pushed the tea bowl in front of him, "You can only ask for it if you have feelings. My father passed away many years ago. Your Majesty took care of me many times when he was in Beijing. The old feelings between the emperor and his ministers have been used up long ago."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, how hungry do people have to be before they eat dirt?" Dr. Hu said, "In that area, there aren't even grass roots or tree bark.

There are some things I didn't want to say, but it got to the point where I had to remind you.

The place you are going to is a border within a border, and again... this is the situation.

If the governance is not good, you will be accused of being incompetent. If the governance is good, you will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. How can you save the lives of your family? "

Meng Changqing said: "If you want your minister to die, I have to die. Now that the imperial edict is issued, I will naturally do what I should do, but I just want to have a clear conscience."

Doctor Hu hated that iron could not become steel, "Why are you so foolish and loyal at such a young age!"

"Don't be angry."

"Why should I be angry? It's not me who will die when the time comes." Dr. Hu immediately chased people away. "Don't bring your head over to me for treatment if it falls off. I can't cure it."

Meng Changqing was kicked out.

Looking at the closed door, Meng Changqing praised himself for his good acting skills!
In this world, anyone can be foolish and loyal, but she cannot.

She understood what Dr. Hu meant, and he just told her not to be greedy for power and to get out as soon as possible.

But will the plundering and persecution of the inferiors by the superiors stop because the inferiors give in?

will not.

Abandoning Meng Changqing's identity and hiding his name, who knows what difficulties he will encounter in such a day?
In this world, if you want to survive with dignity, you can only rely on your strength at the right time.

"Evergreen." Liang Jiujiu stood next to Wen, looking at her worriedly.

"Don't worry, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Meng Changqing led them back, "If there is no road, let's dig a tunnel!"

Meng Changqing didn't sleep well that night.

She dreamed that a group of skeletons were surrounding her, kneeling down and begging her, "Please cut your meat for us, we will starve to death if we don't eat it." '

Meng Changqing was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and sat up in the middle of the night.

After waking up, I didn't remember the content of the dream. I only remembered that I had a nightmare. It was still dark outside, and I originally planned to go back to sleep, but I didn't expect Xiaodai to knock on the door.

"Young Master, someone from the prefect's Yamen came and said that Mr. Wei would like to ask you to come over."

Meng Changqing immediately got up and got dressed, "Brother Dai, help me wake up Master and Master Bai."

"Yes."

When Meng Changqing came out dressed, the other two people were already standing in the courtyard with weapons in hand.

As soon as she went out, the stinging air-conditioning hit her face. She quickly wrapped a scarf around her face, "What time is it now?"

Xiaodai added charcoal to the hand warmer and said, "It was just the time to watch. It's the beginning of the Yin period now."

At the beginning of Yin time, it is three o'clock in the morning.

In this era, people usually go out to commit murder and arson at this time.

Xiao Dai put the hand warmer into her hand and said, "The prefect's office is pressing hard. I'm afraid I won't have time to harness the carriage. Master, can you ride a horse?"

"Changqing rides on the same horse with me." Xi Bei said, "I can block some of the wind for him."
