As soon as Meng Changqing fell asleep, he was called by Bafang.

"Young Master." He lay on the side of the bed, "There are two groups of people who have made trouble in the evening shift, and they have been called to the side by the guards to reprimand, and Captain Yang said that I have to tell you about this." ”

Meng Changqing immediately sat up, "Do you want them to continue working now?" ”

"Not yet, the people in both groups have been beaten, and a few of them are not dressed thickly and have been beaten on the flesh and skin."

"Bring me the padded jacket." Meng Changqing put on a padded jacket and got off the bed.

Happo put a scarf and gloves on her, "You're going over now?" ”

"Go lead the horses."

"Master is keeping vigil tonight, and his horse is outside." Bafang tightened her cuffs, "I'll go and call Master over and let him take you there." ”

"Okay."

Meng Changqing put on his shoes and came to the cave, where Xi Bei was already waiting on a horse.

"Master."

"Sit behind me." He stretched out his hand to pull Meng Changqing onto the horse, and the two soon came to the place where the dispute arose.

The two groups of servants were leaning against the one-man high city wall, and Captain Yang was talking to them loudly.

Seeing the fast horse coming, Yang Zheng immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Master Meng." ”

Meng Changqing jumped down, "What's the mess?" ”

"Just because of a few loads of soil." Yang Zheng explained, "Someone in the eighth group couldn't see clearly at night and put the soil he picked up in the position of the seventh group, or someone in their group called him, and this person realized that he was in the wrong position, and that person had to move the soil that he had picked up to the seventh group back to his own group."

The people in the seventh group refused to move it for him, so they quarreled, causing the people next to him to put down the matter at hand and quarrel together, and almost did it. ”

"What's the matter with the guards?"

"Both groups are both, one goes to fetch food, the other goes to add firewood, and only one person is left to watch, and then he finds that it is late."

"Did you get the meal back?" Meng Changqing asked.

"It's back, and it's not going to be divided."

"Let them eat first."

"Yes." Yang Zheng returned to the two groups of people and raised his voice: "Everyone listen, go get your own dishes and chopsticks, and prepare to eat." ”

The two groups of people were incredulous, the guard just said that they would be beaten to death, why did this official turn around and give them food again.

"Get moving!" Two groups of guards shouted.

Soon the two groups of people began to line up to eat, Meng Changqing turned around with a torch, and saw that several people were drawn to bloody flesh.

The most severely beaten people had no thick clothes on them, and they were too young to know how to hide from the whip.

"Master." Meng Changqing walked up to Xi Bei's side, "Help me run, and ask Bafang to find some trauma medicine and cotton cloth." ”

"Okay, be careful yourself, don't get too far away from Brother Yang."

After Xi Bei left, Meng Changqing called two groups of guards over.

"What do you guys think? Since you know that someone is going to cook, why do you have to take advantage of this time to add firewood? I'm afraid they won't be able to make a mess, right? ”

"It's because we're not thoughtful, please punish you."

"Ill-conceived." Meng Changqing pointed out directly, "You are taking it lightly, thinking that you have been with these people for a long time, and they have not made any trouble, so you are relieved of them, so you dare to do this, don't you!"

The six of them collectively drooped their heads, "Yes." ”

"When you first came, did you repeatedly emphasize that you should not get too close to the people, and do not trust them too easily?"

"It's our fault." A few people admit it very simply.

"It's good, you still know that you are wrong, and you are willing to admit it, but if you make a mistake, admitting it is only the first step." Meng Changqing said, "Next, you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes, can you bear them?" ”

"We can handle it."

Meng Changqing suddenly sneered twice, and asked them in a loud voice, "What can you bear?"

Your work mistakes led to a dispute between the two groups of people and failed to dissuade them in time, and now more than 100 people have stopped their work and are standing next to them, which is a delay in the construction period.

If I can't take on this responsibility, what can you do? ”

Meng Changqing said: "Not all mistakes can be made up afterwards, and if something happens, you can't ask the adult to punish you, and the matter can be over."

Since it has been repeatedly emphasized before, there must be a reason.

Now that the matter has come out, I should have thought of a solution and future precautions as soon as possible, but if I didn't say a word to you, you should think that I am easy to deal with. ”

The six guards were very worried in front of Meng Changqing, and they thought that there would be fewer whips to draw.

Meng Changqing gave her disposition results, "The six of you, go to work in the stove room." ”

"Your Excellency." One of the guards couldn't help but scream.

"It's just an ordinary job transfer." Meng Changqing said, "The 200 people who worked in the stove room before are not also your brothers who came together, there is no distinction between high and low guards and cooking, and when the city wall is completed, you all have the same credit." ”

"Captain Yang." Meng Changqing called Yang Zheng, who was standing aside, "Send someone to send them back to the stove room, and find six more people to come over." ”

"Yes."

Meng Changqing walked up to the city wall that had not yet been built to a full height, and shouted loudly to the servants below: "Everyone, have you finished eating?" I see you're almost finished, so listen to me. ”

As the servants left the wall, some of them took the lead in kneeling, and soon two groups of people knelt on the ground.

"You have been requisitioned from all over Liangzhou to build the city wall, and it is said that your purpose is the same, that is, to build this city wall." Meng Changqing said, "But today there was a dispute over a few loads of soil, and you suffered such a crime, do you think you are wronged?" ”

Most of the people kneeling on the ground did not dare to answer, but one bold person replied: "It's a little wronged." ”

"If you feel wronged, don't suffer this sin again in the future. If you see someone in the same group arguing and making trouble, you should immediately step forward to stop it, and if you can't stop it, you should immediately call the guards.

But you have to know in your heart that if anything goes to the guard, the whip will not be able to escape. ”

Meng Changqing spoke slowly, with the posture of wanting to talk to the servants, "I heard from the guards that you quarreled because of a few loads of soil. ”

"Whoever is the one who bears the burden, stand up."

The crowd looked at each other, and finally a small man stepped forward.

"Is it because of the mess you made?" Meng Changqing asked, and the man stumbled to explain, "No...... It wasn't me, it was the people in their group who pushed me first. ”

Meng Changqing asked again: "Is there anything you want to explain about the seventh group?" ”

Someone in the seventh group knelt on the ground and said, "He is the one who wants to rob us of our soil." ”

The man standing said: "I originally picked it up, but I put it in the wrong place, I want to get my own back, why don't you give it, and what do you say to rob it, your village has always loved to take advantage." ”

Someone from the eighth group immediately followed: "Whoever doesn't know your village, the birds pass through the sky, and you have to be stripped of their hair." ”
