Chapter 1,637 Changjin Mansion Is in Chaos
Meng Yuncheng was not surprised when he received the letter. He knew his father's temperament, so he could only write to ask him to protect him.
Fortunately, the Meng family is in Chenggu County, which is still some distance away from Fucheng. If chaos breaks out in Fucheng, Chenggu County will have time to prepare to escape.
However, no one expected that the chaos would come so quickly, and by such a coincidence, Chenggu County would be the first to be in chaos.
According to the news from Mr. Fei, there is a group of bandits near Chenggu County. Not long ago, they took advantage of the absence of the county magistrate and the lax defense, and suddenly broke into the county. Not only did they burn, kill and loot in the county, but they also broke into many places. Rich families would kidnap people and take them away, and then ask those rich people to raise money to redeem the people.
Although the Meng family is not a wealthy family, they still have some wealth. I wonder if anything has happened.
When Meng Yuncheng received the news, his face was gloomy.
Master Fei said, "The situation in the capital is also very tense. Although nothing has happened yet, the Changjin Mansion has already taken action, probably hoping to use this chaos to attack the east. It is said that the Changjin Mansion sent troops to exterminate the bandits, but it failed. They returned in vain, but instead angered them and killed several hostages.”
"Of course, we returned in vain. Changjin Mansion is already the territory of the Third Prince and the others." Maybe those bandits were the soldiers pretending to be fighting against themselves. It would be strange if they could win.
Master Fei nodded, "Indeed, the magistrate of Changjin Mansion reported that the bandits were well-trained and not ordinary people, and asked the emperor to mobilize troops. The emperor sent General Huang to lead the troops to Changjin Mansion secretly."
"General Huang?"
"Yes, the emperor simply used his plan. General Huang is very powerful in deploying troops. For the third prince and the others, as long as he leaves the capital to go to Changjin Mansion to quell the rebellion, as long as he is restrained, there will be one less person standing in the way. Most of them are in the capital. It’s time to take action.”
Meng Yunzheng knew these things well. There was an emperor sitting in the capital, so he was not worried. The more pressing situation now was the Meng family.
After Meng Yunzheng came back from the government office, he immediately went to Shu Yu and said, "I want to go back to Changjin Mansion."
After Shu Yu heard what he said about the Meng family's affairs, he knew that the situation was urgent and immediately prepared things for him.
Meng Pei of the Meng family was not here, and Meng Yunzheng had to leave. Although there were servants in the family, he was still worried, so Xiao Song Le was sent to Lu's house that night.
Zhao Xi originally wanted to follow, but Meng Yunzheng stopped him.
It's too dangerous there. Zhao Xigang has just become a father, so he'd better not take risks easily.
That night, Zhao Xi prepared many medicine packages and bottles for him to take with him.
Early the next morning, Meng Yunzheng took Xiayan, tied the baggage on the horse, and set off quickly.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the city gate, they found two people already standing there.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly got off his horse and stepped forward quickly, "Why are you here?"
Shu Yu patted the big white horse beside him, "Of course I went with you. I don't worry about Uncle Meng and A Han. Now that you've gone again, I can't wait for the news by myself at home."
Meng Yunzheng laughed, "But what's going on here..."
"There is Wei Ronghua in Lu Ji, there is a big boss in Zhuangzi, and there are several stewards in the workshop. They are all capable people. They can discuss everything with each other. It doesn't matter if I am not here for the time being. Besides, there are a few important things at hand. We’re all done, it doesn’t matter if we leave now.”
Meng Yuncheng felt his eyes swelled slightly. He held Shu Yu's hand and said, "Okay, let's set off."
