Chapter 1,715 Master Yang and Others Understand the Truth of the Matter
Let's not talk about whether they are generous or not. Meng Yuncheng just asked them with a serious expression, "Are you going back to Chenggu County?"
Mr. Yang and others were stunned for a moment, a little confused, and nodded hesitantly, "Of course we have to go back. We finally escaped and just want to go home and reunite with our families. They must be worried about us too."
Meng Yunzheng was silent for a moment, raised his head and said, "But Chenggu County is not safe now. It can even be said to be very dangerous."
Master Yang was startled, and then he thought of something and asked quickly, "You mean, there are still many bandits running around in the county, and they haven't been caught, right?"
"Bandit?" Meng Yuncheng smiled, looked at Qin Kun not far away, called him over, and asked in front of everyone, "Tell everyone, are you a bandit?"
Qin Kun shrank his neck and had a bad feeling.
But now he was siding with everyone, and he couldn't hide it anymore, so he whispered, "We are not bandits. No one in this black market is a bandit. I was tricked by my fellow villagers two years ago. After I came here, I found that I had to either work as a hard labor, go to the duel field like Lu Wu and others, or join them and work as a thug in the black market. The first two were dead ends for me, and I was introduced by a fellow villager, so it was very easy for me. It is easy to become a black market thug. But believe me, although I am a black market person, I have never harmed anyone."
However, the more Master Yang and others listened, their expressions became more solemn, "So, didn't you become bandits because you couldn't wait for the new emperor's amnesty? The people who went to Chenggu County to burn, kill and loot were your black market thugs? It's not the so-called Bandits?"
Qin Kun swallowed and nodded, "Yes."
Mr. He, who was standing next to Mr. Yang, raised his voice instantly, "Why? Why have we offended your black market? Are you so cruel to the people in the city? What do you want to do?"
Qin Kun was about to cry and silently took two steps back.
"I don't know, I'm just a little guy, doing what my superiors tell me to do."
Mr. Yang took a deep breath. He had an intuition that the water inside might be very deep.
He asked Meng Yunzheng, "Does Mr. Meng know the reason?"
Meng Yuncheng looked at Xia Yi. The reason for this was a bit complicated. He didn't have a deep connection with Jingzhong, and he didn't know what to say and what not to say. He simply let Xia Yi decide.
Xia Yi quickly stood up and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "Now that the matter is over, I will explain some things clearly to you. The people in the black market are indeed not bandits. They are rebels who intend to rebel. They will attack Chenggu County took action because the magistrate of Chenggu County was the one who colluded with them.”
"Wha, what??" Everyone was shocked, "Master Cheng is with them?"
Xia Yi nodded, "Yes, there are two secret passages in this black market, one is the one you took when you were arrested, and the other leads to Magistrate Cheng's private residence. The rebels in the black market will target you, both of them The list given by County Magistrate Cheng was used to arrest you in a targeted manner."
Mr. Yang gasped sharply, "Then wouldn't our family members be in danger?"
Mr. He, "Mr. Cheng is a traitor. Will the imperial court send anyone to rescue Chenggu County?"
He Er, "So that's it. Now that I think about it, none of the people we arrested are friends with Magistrate Cheng."
