Chapter 1,650 The Identity of the Bandit
But Meng Qi did not doubt Meng Yunzheng's words. He knew what his cousin was capable of and would not speak nonsense without factual basis.
Because of this, Meng Qi felt cold all over.
At this juncture, if you can't even trust the government, what else can you trust?
While talking, the three of them came to a small stall. This small stall sells wontons, and the stall owners are an elderly couple.
Except for the two of them, there was no one else at the stall. They looked at the deserted street and sighed.
"Boss, three bowls of wontons." Shu Yu called and sat down at the table.
The couple was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became happy and hurriedly served them wontons.
The wontons were very fresh. Meng Qi couldn't help but let out a breath after taking the first bite. He hadn't eaten such hot food for several days. Although he was in a secret room, he would occasionally come out for some air.
But the food is very reluctant. At this time, it is enough to fill my stomach.
Especially in the past two days, Meng Pei and Uncle Meng were not here, and the Meng family escort agency was obviously being targeted. They didn't even have a chance to get out of the secret room for some air.
However, he just sighed and speeded up. There is no time to delay. We have to finish eating as soon as possible and go find dad as soon as possible.
Meng Qi was distracted and soon had a large bowl of wontons in his stomach.
However, when he raised his head, he found that Shu Yu next to him had only taken a few bites, and his movements were slow and unhurried.
Meng Qi opened his mouth, wanting to urge him, but he felt it was not good, so he could only close his mouth and wait obediently for Shu Yu to eat slowly one bite at a time.
Meng Yuncheng had finished eating. He raised his head and looked at Meng Qi, "Do you want more?"
Meng Qi immediately shook his head, "That's enough."
Meng Yuncheng nodded and stood up directly. Meng Qi was just about to say that Shu Yu hadn't finished eating yet when he heard Meng Yuncheng say, "Sit down first."
Meng Qi paused as he was about to get up, then sat back obediently.
Immediately, he saw Meng Yuncheng walking up to the couple and giving them a few coins. While giving them, he asked casually, "Why do you still go out to sell wontons at this time? There are not many people on the street. It's not safe." .”
The stall owner sighed when he heard this, "Who says it's not the case? We set up the stall at dawn today, and apart from the patrolmen, you are the only ones here to eat. "
There is a bad-tempered bad guy who wants to take credit. Who knows when the credit will be extended?
"But there's nothing I can do. How many pence can I earn? Otherwise, I'll eat and drink whatever I want?"
Meng Yuncheng sighed, "It's not easy for you either. It's not easy for everyone in Chenggu County now. I don't know where these bandits came from and why they suddenly appeared and came to harm the people."
"Shh, please be gentle, young man. There are still bandits in this city who have not been caught. They don't know where they are hiding and they may come out to cause trouble at any time." The stall owner looked around, looking very cautious, making sure that the surrounding area was deserted. There was no one else except them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he whispered to Meng Yunzheng, "I heard from the officers and soldiers who came to the stall for breakfast yesterday that these bandits were originally death row prisoners or people who were sent into exile. They planned to wait for the amnesty when the new emperor ascended the throne. Who would have known in the world that it has been almost a year, and yet, they have lost hope and are on the road to death."
Meng Yuncheng narrowed his eyes, "Is that so?"
