Chapter 1,639 The Meng Family Is in a Mess
Meng Yuncheng pursed his lips tightly and whispered, "So, it is right for the fifth prince to ascend to a high position."
If it were the second prince and the third prince, these two have no bottom line at all and take the lives of the people instead of their own lives, then they will bring disaster to the people of the world.
Shu Yu took a deep breath, yes, the second and third princes were morally corrupt and attacked the common people. On this point, they were not worthy of being emperors.
Several people led the horses and continued walking inside, not very fast, and looking around with wary eyes.
Just before leaving, the officer and soldier reminded them, "The government doesn't have many manpower now. Be careful. There are still remnants of bandits hiding in the city. If you find something wrong, protect yourself and immediately find the patrol." Officers and soldiers.”
The local officers and soldiers were limited. Some went to besiege a large number of bandits, some were guarding the city gate to prevent accidents, and some were searching door to door in the city.
But these bandits are obviously organized. They are very cunning. They don't know which mouse hole they are hiding in, so they can't be found at all.
Originally, the neighboring county and Fucheng said they would send manpower over, but who knew that a few days ago, they were also harassed by scattered bandits. Although they were only slightly frightened and did not suffer as heavy losses as Chenggu County, they did not dare to transfer officers and soldiers easily.
Meng Yuncheng expressed his gratitude, "Thank you very much. You have worked hard too."
Meng Yuncheng couldn't tell who belonged to these officers and soldiers in front of him, and whether he knew who planned all of this.
But at this time, their faces were dull, and the dark circles under their eyes were obvious. They looked like they were too busy to rest well.
Shu Yu and the others walked all the way to Meng's house, which was located in the center of the county.
At this moment, they saw more people than near the city gate.
Most of these people are poor families who set up small stalls selling small dishes and gadgets, or ordinary people who go out to buy things.
They all looked a little haggard, and most of them had lingering fears. They didn't dare to come forward when they saw them, and they spoke softly, as if if they spoke louder, they would cause trouble.
Shu Yu knew that they had no choice. In order to make a living, even if the city was still unsafe, they had to come out to support their families.
Most of the shops on the street were closed. Occasionally, one or two shops selling groceries and rice were still doing business, but there were only one or two people in the shops.
The whole street was very quiet. No one dared to speak loudly. If something was sold out, it would be packed up and left immediately.
When they arrived at the Meng family, the four of them couldn't help but exhale.
The door of Meng's Escort Bureau was closed. Meng Yunzheng loosened his reins and stepped forward to knock on the door. As soon as he reached the steps, his steps stopped and his expression changed.
Shu Yu was a step behind him, "What's wrong?"
Meng Yuncheng tightened his lips and looked at the door lock, "It seems that someone in the Meng family has also broken in."
There was blood on the door lock.
Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly raised her hand to knock on the door, but there was no response at all.
She simply pushed open the two doors with all her strength.
As expected, there was no bolted door inside, and the door opened as soon as it was pushed.
However, when they saw the scene inside, their expressions became even more solemn.
The entire front yard was in a mess, potted plants fell on the ground, stone benches overturned, and stool legs flew across. The weapon rack originally placed in the corner for the bodyguards to practice martial arts had been chopped into two pieces, and there was no weapon left.
