Chapter 390: Mount Sacrifice in Xunxian Town*

Meng Changqing didn't expect to hear such a scene from Wei Fangyun.

But then she turned around and thought, if she can do things and say things for people, why can't others.

She listened carefully to what Wei Fangyun said, trying to hear something else from these words.

Wei Fangyun said: "I just wasted time talking to Mr. Cao and the others, so I won't talk to you one by one this year."

Several adults present immediately expressed their understanding and sent prepared congratulatory messages.

Meng Changqing lined up behind Mao Chunfang and sent up the congratulatory message he had written.

"You are interested." After Wei Fangyun finished speaking, he opened it and read it on the spot. He read it very quickly. After all, such congratulatory messages were written almost every year.

The situation in their respective counties is all good, and Wei Fangyun is praised for his competent performance as a Shangguan.

Only Meng Changqing writes very realistically. Every sentence in the article corresponds to everything she does, and it is true, without too many qualifying words.

Wei Fangyun read them all and naturally praised Meng Changqing. At the end, he said: "You have done a good job. If it weren't for you, the magistrate of Beishan County would not be where it is now, and there would be nothing like this on the Daliang border." Peaceful days.

The money you owed to the counties last year has been paid off, and you must do as you promised this year. Your Excellencies believe in you, and you must not betray their trust in you. ”

After hearing this, Meng Changqing responded respectfully: "Yes."

After leaving the greenhouse, Meng Changqing felt extremely boring, as if nothing could interest her.

She stood in the corridor for a while, planning to return to Beishan County after saying goodbye to Ding Aixue.

After a while, Ding Aixue and Zeng Jing from Quping County walked out together. The two seemed to be having a very interesting chat.

It was Zeng Jing who noticed Meng Changqing first and patted Ding Aixue's arm, "Master Ding, Master Xiao Meng is still waiting for you. We will talk about it later."

Meng Changqing saluted Zeng Jing. After the others left, Ding Aixue called his entourage and handed the package that the entourage carried to Meng Changqing's hands, "There is no one next door to the greenhouse. You go in and try."

Upon seeing this, Bafang immediately followed Meng Changqing into the room, touched all the cotton-padded jackets, put them under his nose and smelled them, and then helped Meng Changqing take off his official uniform and put on the cotton-padded jacket.

"Mrs. Ding has really good eyesight." Bafang said when he saw that the cotton-padded jacket fit him well. "I haven't even seen you a few times, so I can get my size right."

"Yes." Meng Changqing tied up his belt, told Bafang to put away his official uniforms, and walked out wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

She smiled and thanked Ding Aixue, "The cotton-padded jacket that my wife made for me is really good. It fits well and is warm. I don't want to take it off. Please convey my gratitude to my mother. If Changqing is free someday, I will definitely stop by and thank you." .”

Ding Aixuexu stopped him and walked forward.

"I heard Mr. Hua say that you captured all the bandits on the mountain." Ding Aixue whispered, "Mr. Hua praised you for doing a good job. Even Mr. Cao said you were courageous when he heard about it."

Meng Changqing explained again, "I am not the most responsible for this matter. It all depends on Captain Yang and his brothers to plan and command."

Ding Aixue patted her shoulder, "I also heard Master Hua say this. It was because he knew you said this that Master Cao praised you." He took back his hand, put his hands into his sleeves and said, "Master Hua He told me privately that he took it upon himself to arrest someone for you. He has personal considerations. Don’t have any objections to Mr. Hua about this matter.”

Meng Changqing said: "I understand, no."

"That's good."

In order to prevent the other party from seeing that he was not in a high mood, Meng Changqing asked Ding Aixue, "Why did Master Futai look for Master and Master Hua earlier?" "In the past two years, Weishan Camp and Hongjia Camp have not gone to war, which saves a lot of money." I plan to appropriately reduce the food supply to the two camps. If they don't have enough, they can find a way on their own, or they can buy it from me.

It's not a big deal, we discussed it and decided to go with my idea. ”

Ding Aixue concluded, “It can be considered a good thing, not too big or too small.”

Meng Changqing then agreed.

At this time, several people had already arrived at the gate of the government office. Ding Aixue sighed: "Our county is at peace. Only Bishan County is left to worry about Mr. Futai. I hope Mr. Luo can resolve the matter as soon as possible."

"The apprentice also heard what Mr. Zeng said, but he doesn't know what happened in Bishan County?" Meng Changqing took the opportunity to ask.

The two of them walked down the steps, and Ding Aixue said, "I remember you went to Bishan County. Did you feel anything special when you went there?"

There was no need to think about this, Meng Changqing blurted out: "Is the Master talking about Xunxian Town?"

"Exactly."

Speaking of Xunxian Town, it was not that Meng Changqing saw how special it was, but that she was not able to enter it at all.

When the carriage only swayed in front of the stone engraved with Xunxian Town, Luo Mao quickly urged her to leave.

"The so-called Xunxian Town is a group of several villages at the foot of Wulin Mountain. The government gave them a name called Xunxian Town. In fact, it cannot be regarded as a town at all, and the Bishan County Government has no control over it.

What rules are followed and what laws are broken are decided by the heads of several villages.

They had an agreement with the government that they couldn't cause trouble outside, so the government didn't care about them. ”

Ding Aixue said: "The more closed a place is to no one, the more bizarre rules it has. Among those villages, one..., or maybe two or three, have the habit of using human beings to sacrifice the mountains. .

When Mr. Luo first took office, he couldn't stand it. He even asked Hongjia Battalion to borrow troops and decided to deal with it to the end and stop their practice. But he was trapped by the terrain and had to compromise with them.

But over the years, Mr. Luo has also thought of many ways.

He asked the young people in Xunxian Town to go to school, and encouraged those who had no talent for studying to work in the town to make money. In short, he wanted to draw people out and enlighten their minds. ”

"I heard that what happened this time has something to do with scholars."

"That's what happened. I sent people to Bishan County to inquire." Ding Aixue said, "The woman who was killed had a younger brother who was studying in the town. I heard that she was very talented. Originally, the college gentleman was going to let her He will take the county examination next month.

It seems that he will fail the exam now. His sister is in trouble, so he probably doesn't have the heart to read. ”

Ding Aixue felt sorry for the scholar, but Meng Changqing felt sorry for the woman who was murdered.

As if she wanted to torture herself, she asked Ding Aixue, "Master, what is the practice of human sacrifice on the mountain?"

Ding Aixue took a breath and said, "I haven't seen it either. I heard people said that girls of the right age were tied up and sent to the mountains.

There is poisonous gas in the foggy forest, and the number of ferocious beasts is frightening. If a person is tied up and sent in, even if he is not eaten by the ferocious beasts, he will be poisoned by the poisonous gas if he stays for a long time. Even if both of them are lucky enough to escape, it is so cold. The sky will freeze people to death.

In short, if you are sent to the mountains, you will not survive. ”
