Chapter 1666: Taking Action Against the Neighboring County

As a subtle 'gada' sound sounded, the wall on Shu Yu's left slowly pushed back about a meter, revealing the secret intersection underneath.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng looked at each other, and then they let the bandit lead the way and went down the secret passage together.

The secret passage can probably accommodate two people walking side by side. It is not very spacious, but at first glance it seems very long.

The few people walked forward cautiously, and Meng Yunzheng also got a lot of information from the bandit.

There were only four people assigned to guard the mansion, three of them had been killed, and he was the only one left.

They rotate every three days, and today happens to be the time for rotation. Yuan Gui just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly his whereabouts were exposed.

It changes every three days, which means that if there are no accidents in these three days, no one will come up, and they still have time.

As for the secret passage in front of him, it led to the outside of the city. Meng Yuncheng thought, no wonder this big house is not far from the city wall.

At the end of the secret passage is the black market that everyone wants to find.

That's right, Changjin Mansion's black market is located in a large manor not far outside Chenggu County.

Unlike the black market in Jiangyuan County, the black market in Chenggu County is underground and involves countless transactions. It's not like Jiangyuan County where you can enter with a sign. Anyone with some ability knows the address.

The black market here is hidden and dangerous, so people entering and exiting need to be introduced by acquaintances, and their identities are all either rich or noble. Anyone who wants to enter must go through strict screening.

According to the bandit, the black market has not been open recently and there are no customers at all. But there are many people in the black market, all of whom are pretending to be bandits and come from various places.

Therefore, when new faces like Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu appear, other people may not be able to recognize them unless they meet the leader who manages them or they belong to the same team.

However, some people have been transferred out in the past two days. Chenggu County has already experienced the bandit rebellion. Now the people in the city are still in panic and are under the control of the superiors. There is no need to worry about it for the time being. Therefore, some people went to the neighboring county. In two days, the neighboring county would experience the same chaos as Chenggu County.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng changed their expressions at the same time.

Is this a plan to completely disrupt the entire Changjin Mansion, so that General Huang and the officers and soldiers who came from the capital will be unable to do anything at all?

Meng Yunzheng asked the bandit, "Is there such a secret passage in the next county that can lead directly to the city?"

"No." The bandit said, "We plan to attack directly from outside the city gate."

Fight in from outside the city gate? Nowadays, all counties are heavily guarded, but there is indeed a shortage of manpower, but there will definitely be many people guarding the city gates. If the bandits gathered at one city gate to attack, the officers and soldiers would surely suffer heavy losses.

Chenggu County was destroyed from within, so whether it was officers, soldiers or officials, there were not many casualties.

Of course, that is also because the Chenggu County government is its own people.

The attitude toward the neighboring county is completely different now. Is it because the neighboring county... hasn't been instigated by the Second Prince and the others to rebel?

While they were talking, they had already walked a long way. Meng Yunzheng suddenly discovered that there was another fork in the road. He tightened his lips and asked, "Is there another way to the black market?"

"Yes, this road leads to..." The bandit hesitated, thinking about the poison he had taken, and said with some reluctance, "It leads to the private residence of the magistrate of Chenggu County."
