Chapter 184 How can I hold a big responsibility in the future?
He Zhiran translated Henry's words to Meng Huaining.
Meng Huaining did not reject foreigners. After all, foreigners had not caused any harm to this land at that time.
However, he was also new here and was not familiar with everything about Yuncheng.
So, Meng Huaining directly called an official to ask: "Are there any ship repair workers in Yuncheng?"
The official looked very respectful: "To tell you my lord, the south of Yuncheng is close to the sea, and most of the fishermen there will repair their boats."
Meng Huaining understood and said to He Zhiran: "My wife, you can tell him the news."
He Zhiran translated it to Henry according to the original words of the official.
Henry was overjoyed when he heard this: "Ms. Hezhiran, can you accompany me?"
He Zhiran knew that even if Henry knew where to find the ship repairmen, he would not be able to communicate with them, so it was absolutely necessary for him to follow him.
However, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today.
It was almost noon now, and the purpose of their trip was to buy medicinal materials.
Not only did they have to rush back before Fifth Brother got sick, but they would also have to ask Meng Huaining to solve the accommodation problem at night.
Only when Meng Huaining comes forward can this matter be fundamentally resolved.
Therefore, they must now explain their situation clearly to Meng Huaining.
He Zhiran spread his hands to Henry apologetically: "Sorry, I have some things to deal with at home today. I can accompany you to the fishing village when I have free time tomorrow."
Henry has been trapped in Yuncheng for several days, and it is difficult to find someone who can communicate with him. No matter how anxious he is, he must be patient.
"Okay, just tomorrow."
After communicating with Henry, He Zhiran took Mo Jiuye and went to reminisce with Meng Huaining.
It happened that Meng Huaining also had this intention, and invited the two of them to go to the county government office to talk.
Meng Huaining was not familiar with the environment here. When he went to Dongfeng County to take office, he was guided by the local county magistrate and explained the work very clearly.
But the news of his coming to Yuncheng has been notified here, why didn't he see the county seat here?
Meng Huaining was very surprised by this.
He called an official who was leading the way and asked, "Where is your county magistrate?"
When it came to Cui County Cheng, the official was hesitant and didn't know what to say.
If the county magistrate learned from him that Cui Xiancheng had hurt his descendants, if Cui Xiancheng had not been dismissed from office, wouldn't he be the one who offended others?
On the contrary, if he does not tell the truth, the person he offends will be the county magistrate.
The officials did not dare to offend these two people and acted very embarrassed.
When Mo Jiuye saw this, he took the initiative to answer his questions:
"Brother Meng, when we entered the city today, we heard rumors from the people that Cui County Prime Minister was injured last night and is still lying at home recovering from his injuries."
Such news really surprised Meng Huaining.
How much must the person who did this hate the county magistrate before he could hurt him?
Seeing that Meng Huaining was still thinking, Mo Jiuye didn't intend to go around in circles. The main purpose of their coming here was to solve the problem.
"Brother Meng doesn't know. Yesterday when we arrived in Yuncheng, we were made things difficult by the Cui County magistrate. He deliberately assigned us to a village where his tribe is located. In such weather, all thirty of us slept outside overnight."
"Brother Mo, let's go in and talk carefully." While talking, Meng Huaining had already led the couple into the study.
The official was very discerning. As soon as the few people sat down, he brought tea and then went out and closed the door from the outside.
Meng Huaining took a sip of tea before speaking slowly.
"To be honest with Brother Meng and Madam Sister-in-law, Mr. Fei arranged for me to come to Yuncheng to be the county magistrate."
Yuncheng is located in a remote place with a bitterly cold environment. Mo Jiuye couldn't figure out why Fei Nanyu would arrange Meng Huaining here.
"Why is this?"
Meng Huaining smiled bitterly: "It's not because of the burning of corpses in Dongfeng County."
After a pause, Meng Huaining continued:
"My brothers and sisters suggested burning the bodies of the victims, which is indeed a good way to avoid future troubles.
When His Highness King Qi led people to provide disaster relief, I explained this truth to him clearly.
At first King Qi agreed and ordered his subordinates to actively cooperate with my work.
We cooperated with each other, burned the bodies of the victims, and later tried every means to find medicinal materials to prepare medicine to treat the plague. It can be said that the casualties of the people were kept to a minimum.
Just when the disaster relief work was about to be completed, I don't know who was behind the scenes, deceiving the people, saying that it was unjust for us to burn the corpses, and demanded that the court give an explanation to the families.
In response, His Highness King Qi sent people to capture some of the demagogues, but the people had completely believed those people's words, and they held the concept that as long as they continued to cause trouble, they would definitely be compensated by the court.
Upon seeing this, His Highness King Qi also changed his original intention. He believed that giving the people an explanation was what the people wanted. He could not make any compensation to the people. All he could do was to remove the culprit who burned the corpses from office and investigate.
Speaking of this ‘culprit’, there is no doubt that it is me.
I saw King Qi turning his back on me, so I decided to resign directly without him asking for my removal from office.
Mr. Fei saw all this, and King Qi trusted him very much. With Mr. Fei's persuasion, King Qi decided to transfer me away from Dongfeng County.
At that time, there were three remote counties for me to choose from. Before I made a choice, Mr. Fei came to me and suggested that I come to Yuncheng.
The main purpose of coming here is because you are exiled here and have a familiar official to take care of you.
Even if Mr. Fei didn't say it, I still planned to come here. Mr. Fei and I hit it off immediately.
Three days later, under the arrangement of Mr. Fei, I left Dongfeng County and came here."
After hearing what Meng Huaining said, He Zhiran complained hard to Nan Qi in his heart.
Such a dignified prince doesn't even have such a small amount of responsibility.
He clearly gave up the opportunity to win over a capable minister...
Mo Jiuye thought more.
"If Nan Qi doesn't deal with you, I'm sure that after returning to Beijing, the disaster relief mission will not only be in vain but also have mistakes."
Meng Huaining smiled bitterly: "That's true. If you encounter such a thing, you can vomit your bitterness to Brother Mo."
Mo Jiuye also lamented, how can a person who can't even resolve the grievances of his officials be given a big job in the future?
No wonder the history books record that Nan Qihui was deprived of the throne...
Of course, the blisters on Nan Qi's feet were all caused by himself. He thought that these were because he felt unworthy of his father and brothers who worked hard for the Dashun Dynasty.
After Meng Huaining finished telling his story, he quickly adjusted his thoughts and continued to ask about the things that caused trouble to the Mo family members by Cui County Cheng.
Mo Jiuye told Meng Huaining exactly what happened yesterday without any further explanation.
After Meng Huaining heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
"A small county magistrate is really brave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Huaining stood up and shouted toward the door: "Here comes someone."
Soon, a pair of official servants walked in outside the door: "What are your orders, sir?"
