Chapter 35 Mrs. Meng like this

The Qiongzhou County government office was filled with dead heads.

The Xiangxian County soldiers who had gone up to Baibei Mountain and were brutally beaten surrounded Xue Jing one after another, with anxious expressions on their faces, and Kong Wu's strong body kept pushing forward, just to get closer to Xue Jing and question him fiercely.

How could such a remote and small border county have any real county soldiers who were trained every day? They were just a few guards and government officials.

If there is a war year, some young and middle-aged people will be gathered and trained hastily. The ability to have the momentum to set off in the morning is entirely due to their youthful energy.

However, it is said that a thousand armies are easy to recruit, but good generals are hard to find. That's why Xue Jing found so many skilled local sages to lead these small teams.

These people have always ignored matters that have nothing to do with themselves. If it weren't for Xue Jing's repeated assurances before, these people would not be willing to give Baibei Mountain a try. Now that the intelligence has seriously failed, they have no numerical advantage at all, so they have lost their helmets. Abandon armor and return defeated.

What's more, even the weak county soldiers who were encountered by the ferocious bandits have already lost their lives!

"Master Xue! You have to give us an explanation!"

"Explain!"

Xue Jing had the upright appearance of a scholar, and his slender figure looked weak among the crowd. He waved slowly to everyone, indicating that they would stop and listen to him.

Several people in the inner circle really stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xue Jing.

Xue Jing's eyes swept over everyone one by one, his eyes full of sorrow, the muscles in his mouth and nose trembled slightly, he lost his voice several times, and looked extremely remorseful.

"It's my fault. I didn't know the scale of that bandit camp was so huge. I made such a big mistake and I should die to apologize!"

As Xue Jing said this, he was about to hit the pillar next to him.

People around him quickly grabbed Xue Jing.

No one expected that there would be so many people in the bandit village. In the final analysis, Xue Jing could not be blamed for this.

It's just that they suffered such a big loss on Baibei Mountain, and it was inevitable that they would be angry for a while. They came to trouble Xue Jing just to vent their anger. There are always a few who really hate Xue Jing, and they don't dare to do it in front of so many people. Force Xue Jing to die.

Xue Jing was stopped by the people around him, and he was picked up by strong men like a chicken. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, it would even be a bit funny.

"I have no face to face you..." Xue Jing wiped his tears with his hands.

"Master Xue, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you are to blame, blame the bandits from Baibei Mountain!"

"Yes, Mr. Xue, if you are gone, who else can lead us to drive out the bandits!"

"Master Xue, you can't die for Qiongzhou County!"

There was a sound of advice for a moment, and Xue Jing stood up strongly with the support of everyone, unable to hide his guilt: "Thanks to you for not giving up, I will stay here for a while. After the bandits are driven out, I will apologize to you one by one!"

Those people nodded one after another, and seeing Xue Jing's sluggish expression, they said that he blamed himself too much, and advised him to take a good rest, regroup, and leave one by one.

When everyone left, an exquisite carriage was parked outside the county government office.

Seeing so many people coming out, the horse sneezed and began to tap restlessly with its four hooves.

"Madam, everyone is out."

At the window, Sumire lowered the curtain and said to the side.

Mrs. Meng closed her eyes and muttered something, and kept fiddling with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. The beads were old in style but extremely new. They were obviously items that had been dusted for many years.

When the noise outside gradually disappeared, Mrs. Meng said, "Is the master coming out?"

Sumire looked out the window, then pulled back and shook her head: "No."

The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Meng's hand stopped.

"Something happened to the master."

After saying that, Mrs. Meng immediately swung the Buddhist beads, opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage in two steps, and walked hurriedly towards the county government office.

After sending everyone away, Xue Jing was sitting in front of the case thinking about countermeasures.

The master knocked on the door twice quickly, walked directly to Xue Jing without waiting for a reply, and said, "Sir, Mrs. Meng rushed in, shouting that she wanted to see you."

Xue Jing's expression fell, and fatigue instantly climbed onto his cheeks.

After taking care of those people, they all forgot that there was still another trouble waiting in the backyard.

Thinking of how difficult Mr. Meng was and how he had locked him up for so long today, Xue Jing felt a headache.

"Take her to the backyard to meet Mr. Meng, and order a team of people to take them home personally."

"Yes," the master responded, paused again, and asked doubtfully, "Send it to your home?"

"After we deliver it, we will keep the Meng family under guard. You are only allowed in, but not allowed out." Xue Jing crumpled the paper on the case into a ball and said, "I can't release even a single mosquito."

Master should be.

Neither of them noticed how unrealistic this cruel statement was. Not to mention where the mosquitoes came from in the early spring, even if there were mosquitoes, they were small and had wings, and a group of people could guard them at the door.

Liveable.

Screams soon came from the backyard. Mr. Meng was obviously angry after being locked up all morning, and even cursed some vulgar words.

Xue Jing was secretly glad that he asked Mrs. Meng to take him out directly. With Mrs. Meng by his side, Mr. Meng should be more restrained, right?

Before Xue Jing could finish congratulating himself, he heard the sound of things being smashed from behind.

Xue Jing hurriedly ran out to take a look and saw Mrs. Meng with one hand on her hips and the other yelling angrily. Mr. Meng was holding a broom behind her and waving it around, sweeping down all the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"..."

Seeing Xue Jing coming out, Mrs. Meng opened her mouth and cursed, "Master Xue, I don't know what crime my master has committed and why he should be imprisoned?! What is the justice of imprisoning a good citizen for no reason? When will my family's harmony be recovered? I'm going out of the city today to drive him away!"

Why did the bandit fail?!..."

Xue Jing didn't want to argue with Mrs. Meng, so he waved his hand to take the Meng and his wife back.

Several servants hurried forward and headed straight for Mrs. Meng, intending to hold her hostage. Upon seeing this, Mr. Meng swung his broom and beat the servants to pieces and fled in all directions.

"You bastard! Who dares to hurt my wife?"

The scene became increasingly chaotic and was about to turn into a farce. Xue Jing winked at the master impatiently, and the master immediately called the yamen servant.

After all, Master Meng was a fat man who was not diligent. He was no match for the Yamen servants. He was controlled by the Yamen servants in three strokes, five divided by two, so the strong and rough servant girl also grabbed Mrs. Meng and respectfully held the two of them "

Please come out of the county office.

When the two of them were dragged out together, they were still cursing. The servants who witnessed everything couldn't help laughing.

Xue Jing was stunned for a moment, and then sighed heavily.

How could Miss Meng, who is such a gentle and polite person, have such unworthy parents?

Leaving the remaining matters to the master, Xue Jing sat back at his desk alone, looking thoughtfully at the map on the table. The route between Qiongzhou County and Yangcheng was traced on the map.

Xue Jing thought for a while, then took out a blank piece of paper and started writing.

"Brother Chu, things are going well in Yangcheng recently..."
