Chapter 1,774 The Final Desperate Attempt

Doctor Mi raised his hand, "You still say?"

The medicine boy ran away in despair. Doctor Mi faced Shu Yu's eyes, coughed slightly and explained a few more words, "In addition to decoction, I only know how to cook vegetables with plain water. Sister Fang is good at cooking. These days I followed her and took advantage of it. I reduced her food expenses and even thought about hiring her to help in the kitchen. But the county government is better than ours. She is used to going to the county government, and maybe she can continue to work in the county government for a long time in the future. If you keep it, I won’t be able to stop her.”

When Shu Yu heard that Granny Fang was fine, she felt relieved. The county government was indeed short of manpower now. With Xia Yi here, Shu Yu didn't need to worry too much. Yuan Gui was more careful than she thought.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ying Xi came over and called her, "Miss, we have to leave."

Shu Yu nodded, said goodbye to Dr. Mi, and then got into the Meng family's carriage.

The inside of the car was covered with a thick quilt, Meng Pei sat on the shaft, and Xia Yan led the horse in front and walked slowly. Although the snow was only a shallow layer on the ground, they were worried about the slippery ground.

Shu Yu and Uncle Meng Pei told Meng Yunzheng's letter and were very happy to learn that Fucheng had also solved the problem.

It seems that in a short while, the city gate will be opened, and people can come and go freely. The Spring Festival, which will be more than a month later, will not be too deserted after all.

The future is bright, which is a good thing for them.

However, before they had time to be happy, Shu Yu and the others had just returned to the escort office to put Uncle Meng in place when news came from outside that the people in the black market had suddenly started to counterattack.

Two laborers who originally lived in the black market also came up, saying that someone was trying to reopen the secret passage outside the city that they had blocked.

Shu Yu looked solemn. Apparently Wu Laosan, the leader of the rebel bandits, had received the news of the death of the prefect of Changjin Prefecture. They originally played guerrillas to delay the attack peacefully, thinking that everything was under control.

Unexpectedly, the prefect died suddenly, and they should not be able to contact the informants in the city, so they would naturally realize that something was wrong.

When he wanted to return to the black market, he found that even the secret crossing was blocked. Wu Laosan was afraid that he would be angry to death.

Boss Ke and Fu Laoer went to the capital, and Wu Laosan was the leader. As a result, Chang Laosi was captured by Qi Lie and taken to General Huang as a prisoner. The black market was also blocked. It seems that Guo Laosan, who stayed behind in the black market, Something happened to Lao Wu too.

In addition, there was such a big problem in the black market, but Magistrate Cheng of Chenggu County did not give him a notice, which meant that he was also dead.

Now that even the prefect is dead, all the pressure is on Wu Laosan.

However, the number of available people in his hands has been reduced by more than half, and he is facing General Huang who has experienced many battles. Wu Laosan has almost no chance of winning.

However, if this happens, his behavior may become even crazier. Both Shu Yu and Xia Yi are afraid that he will jump over the wall. As soon as they met, they immediately decided that Xia Yi would go back to the black market to see what was going on there.

Shu Yu and Meng Pei gathered their men to guard the two city gates to respond to emergencies at any time.

Sure enough, at night, there was a sudden movement outside the city gate.

Fortunately, although time was tight, Shu Yu and the others were still prepared in advance. The rebels under the city tower were only a small group, not many. Shu Yu asked the archers to shoot arrows and those to smash rocks to quickly deal with these people. .

But despite this, everyone still dare not take it lightly.

It wasn't until the next morning when there was no movement outside the door that Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
