Chapter 1,644 The Chaos that Night
With Meng Han's 'warning' in advance, most of the people in the Meng's Escort Bureau are skilled players.
The bandits didn't take advantage of them.
Coupled with the preparations of Meng Pei and Uncle Meng, all the capable people in the Meng family were resisting outside. Meng Qi quickly organized the old, weak, women and children in the family to hide in the secret room as soon as possible.
Only then did everyone realize that the Meng family actually had such a hidden place. There was water and food in the secret room, so it was very safe.
Meng Pei and Uncle Meng were the last ones to break away, but when they heard the shouting and killing sounds and the sky-high firelight coming from outside, they did not dare to enter the secret room for a while.
If the Meng Family Escort Bureau was also set on fire, then they might all be suffocated to death in the secret room.
In fact, when Meng Pei was rebuilding the secret chamber, he dug a secret passage. Not only did he expand the area of the secret chamber, he also wanted to dig out another exit.
It's just that it's not advisable to let too many people know about the secret room. After he came back, he only told Meng Qi. From the beginning, the uncle and nephew took matters into their own hands. Later, when Uncle Meng came back, three people took action.
But the time was too short, and Meng Pei did not expect that the chaos would come so quickly, and the direct location of the chaos was in Chenggu County, so that the secret tunnel was only halfway dug and they were caught off guard.
Fortunately, except for the first group of bandits who broke into Meng's house and were dealt with by them, no one came in again.
The entire Chenggu County is so big, these bandits are more focused on wealthy families.
A place like the Escort Bureau is not very wealthy and has good escorts, so it is a hard nut to crack.
Everyone in the Meng family was worried all night. When it dawned the next day, the movement outside finally stopped. Meng Pei and Uncle Meng went out to take a look, only to realize that it was a mess outside.
The people in the secret room also came out. A few brave people went out to take a look. They saw officers and soldiers coming and going outside, but no one dared to go out.
Only Tao and Tao Qin couldn't let go of the Tao family, but they stopped because of the martial law outside and the officers and soldiers not allowing people to go to the streets at will.
After two days, the martial law was no longer so strict, and people slowly began to appear on the streets.
However, at this time, everyone also heard that the bandits had kidnapped many children from rich families and wanted these families to collect the ransom.
This matter is obviously not over yet. Although the Meng family is fine, Meng Pei and Uncle Meng are still on guard.
After he could go out, Uncle Meng went to Tao's house, but there was no one in Tao's house, so he didn't know where they had gone.
However, apart from the chaos in the Tao family and things being smashed, there was no blood stains or anything like that. I think the Tao family escaped in advance.
As for where they fled to, they couldn't find out at this juncture.
Uncle Meng also went to the homes of those escorts who did not live in the escort agency, as well as the escorts who were away from home. He felt relieved when he saw that everyone was fine.
However, they were obviously relieved too early.
Another day later, small-scale chaos occurred again in Chenggu County.
When I went out to inquire about it the next day, I found out that there was still a small group of bandits hanging around in the city. Last night they broke into several houses and killed people. It is said that those families killed many people during the chaos on the first night. Bandits, so this small group of bandits is here to take revenge.
When the Meng family heard this, their expressions changed.
Although they have not encountered retaliation and are safe for the time being, this only means that there are not many bandits and they cannot spare the time to retaliate against them.
