It is said that it is easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down, but for this mountain and this matter, the opposite must be said.
There was a lot of planning when going up the mountain, but everything was a foregone conclusion when going down the mountain.
Meng Changqing led his people and suppressed the bandits down the mountain.
All the bandits were imprisoned in the Beishan County Prison. This was the first time since the prison was built that so many people had visited it, and the cells were almost not enough.
The dead Ma Qing was also placed inside. Thinking that there were young children among the bandits, Meng Changqing finally showed kindness and asked someone to find a piece of linen cloth and cover Ma Qing from head to toe.
When Meng Changqing returned to the county government office, he was not idle for a moment. He immediately entered the study and quickly wrote an official document to be sent to Wei Fangyun later. He asked Bafang to send it to Liangzhou Mansion first, while he found everyone who was resting. Yamen.
"Sir." Everyone in the room who was originally sitting and resting immediately stood up when they saw her coming in.
Yang was about to open the window. After all, dozens of grown men were crowded together, and many of them had taken off their shoes. The smell was really unpleasant.
"No need." Meng Changqing stopped his movement, "You have worked hard. Not only last night, you have been on guard this month, especially Qian Deming and your two groups. They have been hiding in people's homes for many days and have not left the house. It's really Suffer.
Fortunately, this matter will live up to your efforts. If you conquer the dangerous mountain, everyone will be rewarded.
One tael of silver per person, tell Colonel Yang to come with me later to collect it and give it to you. ”
The government officials were overjoyed and thanked you, "Thank you for the reward, sir! We will swear allegiance to you to the death!"
When Meng Changqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat. There were some things she had never thought about, but now she had to think about them in her mind.
"You're welcome, you deserve it." Meng Changqing exited the room, and Yang Zheng followed her out when he saw her solemn expression.
"My lord." He closed the door, "But what else is wrong?"
Meng Changqing forced a smile and said, "What's wrong? You thought everything carefully, and luck is on our side. Things are done beautifully. Brother Yang, I want to go to Mr. Wei to take credit for you!"
"But I think you have something on your mind." Meng Changqing said casually: "I probably haven't eaten enough in the past two days, and I didn't rest last night, so I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Although you are young, you still have to take good care of your health."
Meng Changqing nodded, "I know. By the way, I have to trouble Brother Yang and don't forget the silver reward for the injured government officials. If they can't come, remember to find someone to send them to their homes.
They were injured on duty, and all medical expenses were paid by the Yamen. ”
"Yes, my subordinates know."
The two of them walked to the room where Qi Renli worked. On the way, Meng Changqing also said, "Not only the government officials have contributed to this matter, but also the people in the small village at the foot of the dangerous mountain who cooperated well.
In the past, I thought that they came down from the mountains after all, and I never treated them as ordinary people.
This is me being narrow-minded.
Now, they must be given the treatment they deserve. In the future, when the county recruits workers, don't find reasons to reject them. ”
"Yes."
"As for the family whose food was robbed, ask them how much was robbed, and the Yamen will provide them with all the supplies."
"Hey, I'll go as soon as I get the money."
The two of them arrived at the door of Qi Renli's room when the door was opened. Qi Renli knew Meng Changqing's temper. After successfully suppressing the bandits in the dangerous mountains, Meng Changqing would definitely reward the government officials. He had something to do with this, so he had been waiting in the room.
Meng Changqing gave him the money note and was about to speak when a warehouse full of people came running over shouting: "Master, the bath water is boiled."
"Come here!" Meng Changqing smiled at Qi Renli, turned around and quickly followed Mancang. (End of chapter)
