One Hundred and Ninety-One: Cangzhou Meng Family Came (5)
"Mr. Erlang, I have asked clearly..."
The groom came back and whispered to the car curtain to make sure Jiang Pengji could hear him.
After a while, Jiang Pengji asked, "The carriage I drove today doesn't have any traces of the house?"
The groom was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "How dare the villain not do what the gentleman ordered?"
Although he didn't know what his lord's intentions were, why he suddenly asked not to take any carriage with the logo of Liu Mansion when he went out today, but Liu Mansion is not poor, and there are several carriages, which are specially used for various banquets.
"Well, I see." Jiang Pengji closed her eyes and said to the groom, "Let's drive the carriage and go to West Market first..."
"Okay!" The groom raised his whip, and the horse walked lightly, bypassing the crowd and heading for the West Market.
After Jiang Pengji left, there were some imposing and burly men sitting on the second floor of the opposite tea shop. The tea in front of the table was already cold and there was no trace of movement. Their eyes were fixed on the opposite gambling house. They had been waiting for a long time. , nothing special.
These people are Meng's retinues, who protect Meng's entourage to go to Beijing.
The leader was guarded by the stars like the moon, and the man was staring at a carriage going away with doubts in his eyes.
He called the waiter from the teahouse over, and pointed to the driveway that hadn't gone far, "Do you know which car driver it is?"
The shop waiter stretched his neck in some embarrassment, and recognized it for a long time, but he didn't think of the familiar one.
It was a very ordinary carriage, from the workmanship to the materials used, it was very popular, and it could be used by ordinary wealthy families.
The waiter was puzzled, don't ordinary carriages look like this?
There is no family emblem on it, who can recognize it.
This place in Hejian is not big or small, if you can travel by carriage, it is really as bright as stars.
As a waiter in a shop, it would be good if he could recognize the clan emblems of most of the gentry, but it would be too embarrassing for him to recognize other people's cars.
He heyed a little embarrassedly, "Objectively, this is too embarrassing for you. It is just a very ordinary carriage. There are ten carriages in Hejian, and nine of them look like this. You let the little one identify it as a carriage. Which one, I really can’t recognize it.”
At this time, the group has already taken off their armor, and they have not yet recognized that they are the people who committed the two major crimes.
"Boss, what shall we do now?"
The leader didn't say a word, his heart was still uncertain, he raised his hand to ask a follower to follow the carriage quietly, to see which one it belonged to...
For some reason, he always felt that there was something strange about it. In places where murders occurred, except for those foolish people who watched the excitement and were not afraid of death, most people would not want to approach them. Dead people are not bad luck? Not to mention these families who can afford a carriage.
However, the leader had no choice but to give up until the attendant came back and reported the whole journey of Jiang Pengji's carriage.
"Boss, I don't think there should be any suspicion about that carriage, and it's not a fake by Meng Hun and his gang..."
The follower who followed Jiang Pengji to run around the West Market and East Market looked helpless.
"Then tell me, why did the other party stop?" the leader asked.
Then I was taken aback,
Then he stammered and said, "I guess there are too many people watching the excitement, blocking the way..."
Leader: "..."
That's right, they are used to running amok in Cangzhou, they never had the concept of parking for passers-by to dodge, they just went on a rampage.
But... this is Hejian County.
In other words, the speculation he thought he was clever before was actually his own stupidity.
Thinking of this, the leader's complexion is a little bit bad, or rather, it's the bottom of the pot.
"Boss, we've been guarding here for a whole day, but we haven't found Meng Hun's group, and we can't catch anyone... What should we do now?"
Meng Ting was still kidnapped by Meng Hun, it's definitely a disaster.
But the leader felt that Meng Ji was not dead, and there were good reasons for that.
The leader said decisively, "Hurry up and go back, and tell the Patriarch about Erlang Jun's kidnapping as soon as possible, and the matter should not be delayed."
For this decision, some followers are still unwilling
of.
"Boss, if something happens to Mr. Erlang, won't the rest of us be..."
The entourage made a movement of scratching his neck with a knife, his expression looked extremely nervous, who is not afraid of death.
The leader shook his head and said, "Mr. Erlang is definitely not dead, and Meng Hun doesn't have the guts, otherwise..."
Followers ask questions, ask seriously, "Why?"
"Isn't that simple?" The leader opened the two letters, pointed to the one written by Meng Ji, and said firmly, "Hehe, haven't you noticed that this letter written by Mr. Erlang has neat handwriting, clear words, and steady characters? , It doesn’t look like someone who is in a panic can write it. In other words, Mr. Erlang must be sure that he will not die, so he wrote such a letter... But, this Meng Hun lion opened his mouth, and it would cost two Thousand stones of grain! Don't be afraid of being overwhelmed!"
Two thousand shi of grain, this is not a small sum.
However, food is a trivial matter, as long as Meng Ji is living well now, everything is easy to talk about.
"The leader is wise!"
Several attendants flattered one after another, saying flattering and auspicious words in their mouths.
"So, now is not the time to hesitate about these things. We must send these two letters back as soon as possible. As long as we can rescue Mr. Erlang, it will definitely be a great achievement. Even if the head of the family blames him, who doesn't know that Mr. Erlang disappeared because of Was he naughty himself?"
Even if there is a penalty, it will definitely not be heavy, and it will be reused afterwards, and a large amount of rewards will be rewarded to them.
Regrettably, the leader thought that Meng Hun and his party would come over to take a look if such a big incident happened in the gambling house, so he decided to squat on the second floor of the opposite tea shop, but after waiting for a long time, the corpses in the gambling shop were all gone. After being cleaned up, there was still no sign of Meng Hun.
The leader said, "Pack up your things, get up and prepare to go back to Cangzhou."
"Several...what do you think of me as Hejian County? Come and leave whenever you want? Heh, let's all go together."
An unfamiliar voice came from behind, and the leader and followers immediately became alert and looked at the person who made the sound.
"Let's go for a while. After killing someone here, you still want to leave carelessly. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!"
These people are all guards of the Hejian County Sheriff's Mansion, each with a knife on their waist, and they are also somewhat capable.
The two sides were at a stalemate, but the strong dragon couldn't overwhelm the snake, and the leader of the Meng family snorted coldly.
He said arrogantly, "How do you catch me now, and how will you send me off later!"
Hearing his words clearly, the people in Hejian were immediately filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could draw their swords and chop them into pieces.
"Tough mouth!"
The corner of the guard's mouth froze, his expression extremely displeased.
It's okay for the Meng family to be domineering in Cangzhou, but they dare to bring this kind of style to Hejian County, it's too defiant! (To be continued.)
