Chapter 266 He is staring at you
The other party did not dare to underestimate the tokens sent by the soldiers, let alone delay them.
Qi Renli thought of this and handed the token to Yang Zheng, "Please help me, Colonel Yang, to keep it safe."
Yang Zheng saw that he gave it so simply, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Master Meng is overthinking it? I hope Mr. Meng will think more about it. He quite likes Mr. Qi. He doesn't have the bad temper of a scholar. He knows how to help with anything in the yamen.
With the guards brought by Yang Zheng, Qi Renli felt more confident and rushed on the road faster.
Qi Renli thought that he had to solve the problem quickly so that this group of people could return to Lord Meng as soon as possible. Lord Meng did not have enough manpower.
With this in mind, they didn't stop along the way, not even for meals. They only ate the dry food they brought in the car immediately.
At this speed, we finally arrived in Dazhou in the afternoon.
"Captain Yang." Qi Renli got out of the carriage and stopped Yang Zheng, who was heading towards the Dazhou government office, "Wait a moment."
Yang Zheng turned the horse's head, walked around to the carriage and stopped, "Master Qi, the Dazhou government office is in front of us."
"Don't go there yet." Qi Renli said, "I want to go to Hongfu Village first."
Yang Zheng's gaze shifted from Qi Renli to Qi Xiang and Qi Rui, and then back to Qi Renli's face.
"Okay."
Qi Renli felt that the way Yang Zheng looked at him was a little unusual, so he explained instinctively, "Mr. Meng said that as soon as the news reaches Dazhou, the officials of the county government below will soon know what the truth is. I think here Figure it out before.”
Yang Zheng said: "Master Qi is interested, then we will continue to Daoxian County."
The group of people continued on their way, and before the sun set, they stayed at the inn where they stayed last time.
The post officer saw that Renli came again, and while stepping forward to greet him, he asked: "Didn't your Excellency find a suitable sericulture farmer last time?"
"I've found it." Qi Renli replied with a smile, "I came here this time for private matters."
The post officer immediately asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's not a big deal." Qi Renli gestured to Qi Rui to give him money, "Is the room still there from last time?"
"Yes, yes, I will take the adults there right now."
The last time he checked in, Qi Renli had been thinking about finding someone and didn't pay attention to the little things. But when he came back this time, he found that there was something strange about this inn.
The atmosphere was strange, for example now, they gathered in the front room to eat after leaving their things in the room.
Apart from them, there were no other guests in the post house, but Qi Renli always felt like someone was staring at him.
The speed of picking up the food slowed down. Just when he was about to turn his head and look around for the source of his gaze, he heard Yang Zheng next to him cough twice. The two looked at each other, and Yang Zheng acted very artificially and stood up for Qi Ren. A chopstick dish, "Master Qi, eat more."
Then Qi Renli heard Yang Zhengji's low-pitched warning, "The post officer is staring at us, don't look back."
Qi Renli couldn't figure it out and asked in a low voice: "Why is he?"
"Let's talk after dinner."
Beishan County, Liangzhou. Meng Changqing was selecting gifts in the Houya warehouse.
Bafang and Laicai opened every box in the warehouse, and they made a lot of noise while searching for things. Wenshi and Liang Jiujiu couldn't rest, so they came over to take a look.
Seeing that the three of them had rummaged through everything in the box, Wen asked aloud: "What are you looking for?"
The three of them stopped and looked back.
Meng Changqing said: "I want to find a suitable gift for Mr. Ding."
Liang Jiujiu didn't know much about the outside world. When he heard this unfamiliar surname, he asked: "Who is it?"
"The magistrate of Luojiang County." Meng Changqing introduced, "In Liangzhou, Luojiang is the county with the largest cultivated area and the most productive crops, and it also has the most cattle.
Last year I asked the county to borrow three cattle, and I will borrow them this year, so I am going to pick some suitable gifts. ”
Liang Jiujiu was puzzled, "Don't our county raise more than a dozen cattle? I see you lent them to the people in the past two days. Isn't that enough?"
"Not enough." Meng Changqing explained the reason. "Among the people who immigrated this year, there are many old, weak, women and children. Most of them have no available labor to help."
Wenshi said: "I heard a discussion from the front office earlier about someone coming from other counties to help them farm."
"Yes."
Before Meng Changqing finished speaking, Wen continued: "But from a holistic perspective, it's not too much, is it?"
Meng Changqing nodded.
"We will work with you to make an idea about what kind of gift you want to choose." Wen Shi said.
He simply called Xiaodai and lit a few more lamps in the warehouse. They looked at several boxes of things and selected them all.
Most of the things inside are rewards that Meng Changqing received when he was in the palace. They are either too valuable or have special meanings that are difficult to give to others.
In addition to these rewards, they are the relics of Meng Changqing's father and three brothers. To her mother, these things are like those who have passed away, and it is not easy to give them away.
In the warehouse, there was really nothing that belonged to Meng Changqing.
After reading these boxes, Wen realized her shortcomings over the years, and looked at Meng Changqing with guilt in her eyes.
"It can't be expensive, and it can't be too cheap. It's better if the other party needs it." Bafang muttered, "How can there be such a thing."
Meng Changqing walked around in a circle, determined not to embarrass these boxes, and there would be no more things that He Ding Aixue wanted to find after pulling them out. "Forget it, I really can't give away money."
"That's fine." Wen said, "You can go to the street and choose one that's good for you, or you can give some small money as a gift."
Meng Changqing nodded, "I know, mother, mother, you go back and rest."
"I have something to tell you." Wen said, and Meng Changqing followed her to her house.
Wen said: "The soldiers in Qianya are very grateful to you. I heard that you specifically asked for grace and allowed their families to come to Beishan County."
"That's what happened."
