Chapter 278 I don’t know you
"What urgent message?" asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
"Report the funeral." Meng Changqing said, "Someone died in the magistrate's hometown. I am the magistrate of Beishan County. Here is the official seal and certificate. You can check it."
A basket was hung on the city wall, and Meng Changqing put his seal and official documents in it
As the basket went up, the city gate was soon opened a crack, and officers and soldiers came out holding Meng Changqing's things. After returning them, they had to verify the identities of the people behind Meng Changqing.
Fortunately, this place was some distance away from the border. After verifying their identities, there were no other difficulties and they were allowed to enter the city late at night.
When Meng Changqing came to Dazhou for the first time, he naturally didn't know where the prefect was, so he simply borrowed an officer and soldier at the city gate and asked him to lead the way.
When I arrived at the place, I saw two lanterns hanging at the door. Under the lanterns was the closed gate of the government office.
Meng Changqing dismounted, walked up to the guard who was leading the way, and stuffed a dime of broken silver into his hand, "If you'd like to lead the way, I'll treat you to tea."
The guard was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, sir! Now that you are here, I will leave."
Before the man could go far, Meng Changqing asked Bafang to knock on the door.
Bafang jumped up the steps in twos and twos and started knocking on the door. While knocking, he shouted: "Open the door quickly! There is an urgent message!"
Soon the officer on duty came out, looked at the people in front of the door and asked, "Who are you? What's the urgent message?"
Before Bafang could say anything, Meng Changqing stepped forward and asked, "Is Wen Ruxu in there?" When she asked this, her expression was serious, making the government servants tremble. "Who are you... here?"
< br>
"Never mind who I am, let him get up."
While the yamen servant was frightened, he also felt inexplicable. After all, this was the yamen of a fifth-grade prefect. What was his identity? You dare to come here to look for trouble.
Come to think of it, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Wait a moment." He walked quickly inside and let other government officials go in to report. Then he stood back in front of Meng Changqing and said with a smile: "The report has already been sent inside."
Soon, the government office opened its door, and first a group of government servants with knives came out, and then a slightly older man walked out. This man had probably just put on his clothes, and was still arranging his clothes after leaving the door.
Looking behind him, there were several people following him.
This should be the magistrate of Dazhou. "Master Wen." Meng Changqing said.
"Who are you?" Wen Ruxu looked at Meng Changqing through the light at the door, and looked for a long time to make sure that he did not recognize the person in front of him.
"Beishan County Magistrate Meng Changqing, Mr. Wen, you should have heard of Xiaguan." Meng Changqing spoke quickly, "Not only that, you have also met other officials from Beishan County recently, right?"
Wen Ruxu was really old. Hearing such a voice only made him feel headache.
You also have to listen carefully to the content, which will make you even more headache.
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you." Wen Ruxu looked unhappy, "What's going on in Beishan County? You run to Dazhou every three days."
As expected of an old official, he is full of official airs.
But Meng Changqing, who is so narrow-minded, can only scare her when the other person's identity can suppress her.
Wen Ruhu's official position is indeed much higher than hers, but she is not an official in Dazhou. Wen Ruhu has no right to deal with her directly. How could Meng Changqing be afraid of him?
"Master Wen, while I'm still calling you "Sir" respectfully, let's go inside and talk, otherwise I won't dare to say anything unpleasant at the gate in front of these people."< br>
"Ha." Wen Rushu laughed angrily, "Ignorant boy, I would like to hear what you have to say? How dare you run..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Meng Changqing interrupted directly, "What's going on with the Hong family?"
"What Hong family?" Wen Ruxu pretended to be innocent.
Meng Changqing raised his voice, "Then let's talk about your accepting bribes, collusion between officials and businessmen, and oppressing the people."
Wen Ruxu said angrily: "What evidence do you have!"
Meng Changqing sneered, "I have no evidence, why would I come here to say this?"
Bafang looked at Meng Changqing showing off his majesty and silently replied in his heart: "Yes."
