Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Xi Bei avoided Meng Changqing's gaze, "I have to go with you anyway."

Meng Changqing said to him: "Master, I was born with good luck."

"What do you mean?"

"I often think about what good things I did in my previous life. I was born into my mother's womb. I was born in the Meng family. I was brought up with my mother's care. I was cared for by you."

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Xi Bei replied: "If you are lucky, what does it mean to be born within the imperial wall? How lucky is it?"

"Ahem." Meng Changqing quickly asked him to stop, "Master, I understand your feelings. That's why I shamelessly beg you to guard Beishan County for me.

Of all the people around me, you have the most sensitive sense of danger.

Once something changes around you, you can detect it from the smallest details and respond immediately. "

Xi Bei lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then sighed: "You just want me to stay here."

"Yes, Master, I feel most at ease if you stay here."

"Okay, then I will give you peace of mind." Xi Bei then asked, "How long will it take you to go to the capital?"

"It will take at least half a month to get back and forth on the road. After arriving in the capital, you have to wait for the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to arrange an interview with the Holy Spirit. This time may be longer or shorter."

"I'll wait for you here for twenty days." Xi Bei had a tough attitude. "If you don't come back, I will go to the capital to find you."

Meng Changqing also promised, "Okay, if I am delayed, I will send the letter back in time."

Meng Changqing asked Chu Mufeng again, "Master Bai, who among you will stay and who will go to the capital with me?"

Bai Mufeng replied: "I will take five people with you. The remaining people will temporarily follow Zhou Qiwen's orders to protect your family."

Zhou Qiwen, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and saluted, "Sir, please rest assured, we will do our best to protect your family."

"Excuse me, big brothers. Mr. Bai, since you are leaving with me, you must have some things to say to the other brothers in the Royal Forest Army. You can go ahead and do your work."

Bai Mufeng knew that Meng Changqing didn't want him to hear what he was going to say later.

"I'll go back first and let them pack their luggage."

After Bai Mufeng and Zhou Qiwen left, Xi Bei said: "It's not enough to rely entirely on the Imperial Forest Army. You must at least bring some people over from Yang Zheng."

Yang Zheng learned for the first time that Xi Bei was wary of the Royal Guards and continued: "Sir, we are the personal soldiers given to you by the emperor. Our duty is to accompany you and protect you. If you are worried about the crowd delaying the trip, you can bring a few with you. cavalry……"

"Brother Yang, I do need to transfer a few people from your staff, but instead of protecting me, please let them go with my family to the Liangzhou Post House. I have already written down the names of these people." Meng Changqing held up the note at hand. Leave it to Bafang.

Bafang took it and handed it to Yang Zheng.

"Tell them that my trip to the capital and the whereabouts of my family should not be disclosed to the outside world."

"Yes." Yang Zheng put away the note, "In this case, I will inform them before departure."

Suddenly, as soon as Cheng Guang and others arrived at their positions, they were called to the room where Yang Zheng was handling government affairs.

The few people who came looked at each other, "Do you know why you called us here?"

"I don't know, but I saw that we were all cavalry when we were in the camp. Maybe we have some tasks to give."

"That's the only way it can be."

Several people waited in the room for a quarter of an hour before Yang Zheng came over.

"Colonel, are there any tasks you want to assign us to do?" "Don't ask any more questions." Yang Zheng said, "Go to the stable immediately to take your horses and go out through the back door."

Several people were confused and followed Yang Zheng's instructions.

After exiting the back door, I saw two carriages from the Yamen already parked on the road, with twelve imperial guardsmen on the left and right.

Cheng Guang stepped forward to say hello, "Master Bai."

Chu Mufeng nodded and asked them to follow at the end, "We will set off when Master Meng comes out."

After not waiting long, I saw Mr. Meng and his family coming out of the back door. The old lady got on the carriage, and Mr. Meng rode in front.

The team went south through Yangmen County and stopped at the entrance of Liangzhoufu Station. At this time, Meng Changqing called them aside, and they knew the purpose of their trip.

"My lord, why didn't you tell me earlier? We can also pack two sets of clothes."

After the man finished speaking, Cheng Guang said: "You have your own considerations, others will not see the difference if you change your clothes or not."

"Your change of clothes and supplies will be arranged by the acting general manager." Meng Changqing said, "During this period, you should listen to the acting general manager and try not to meet people from Beishan County, whether they are ordinary people or people from the yamen. .”

This special consideration puzzled everyone, but Cheng Guang quickly nodded in agreement.

"Let's see." After Meng Changqing left, Cheng Guangcai whispered to the others: "I just said that this trip is not easy. The captain did not allow us to ask any more questions, and the adults did not allow us to meet people from Beishan County, and we are all from He followed Master Meng from the beginning.

What happened this time was superficially to protect Mrs. Meng, but underneath there may be motives we don't know about. "

After Meng Changqing settled Wen and Liang Jiujiu, he went to the street alone, bought a few things along the way, and came to Doctor Hu's medical clinic.

"Sister Hua." Meng Changqing called to the person in front of the medicine cabinet, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

Hu Xiaohua turned back with a copper scale and said, "It's you! I'm fine. It's just that you're not feeling well when you come here?"

"Not yet." Meng Changqing said, "I'm going on a long trip these two days, so I came to see Dr. Hu to get some medicine."

"My father is sorting out medical records in the backyard study. You can go find him yourself." Hu Xiaohua pointed to the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket. "I won't let you in until I finish what I'm doing."

"Okay." Meng Changqing entered the backyard by himself.

As soon as I entered, I saw the door of a room open, and Dr. Hu and his wife were arguing about something inside.

Seeing Meng Changqing coming over, Dr. Hu asked Hu Xiaohua to go over and help on the pretext that Hu Xiaohua was too busy alone.

"I see you don't look good. Sit down and I'll take your pulse."

"I'm not feeling unwell." Meng Changqing said, "I came here to ask you for some medicine. I heard from my mother that you have already prepared it."

Doctor Hu's expression changed, and he understood what kind of medicine she wanted, "Do you have a reason why you have to take medicine?"

"Yes, I have to go back to Beijing."

"It's because the medicine is three-thirds poisonous." Doctor Hu said, "You are normally normal, but if you take this medicine, your body will definitely be affected. I don't want you to use this medicine unless it is a last resort."

"Doctor Hu, this is the time now." Meng Changqing said, "No matter what happens in the future, at least I can't show my flaws now."

"This medicine is harmful to the body, and it may not be effective after taking it." Dr. Hu was worried, "Can't you postpone returning to Beijing for a few days?"

"We can't postpone it." Meng Changqing said, "How can I not cherish my own body? I just have no choice." (End of Chapter)
