Chapter 1651 The Frightened Meng Qi

The stall owner nodded, "That's what those people said, I don't know if it's true or not."

Meng Yuncheng chatted with him for a few more words, until Shu Yu called him after finishing his wontons, he nodded with the stall owner, and they left the wonton stall.

Meng Qi asked in a low voice, "Cousin, what did you just say to the stall owner?"

"I asked about something."

Shu Yu asked, "Did the stall owner say anything about the bandits?"

Meng Qi suddenly turned to look at her. Did she know what her cousin was doing? So it’s not because she’s not in a hurry when she eats so slowly, but it’s unnecessary?

Meng Yunzheng repeated the stall owner's words. Shu Yu frowned when he heard the words. It turned out that it was not just the bandits who were causing chaos. The second and third princes were also using this matter to tarnish the emperor's reputation and make it known that the bandits would eventually kill the people. The responsibility falls on the emperor.

Meng Qi was stunned, "So those bandits are extremely evil people who cannot wait for amnesty?"

Meng Yuncheng glanced at him sideways, "Do you still remember what I told you before?"

What did you say?

Meng Qi paused, thinking of what Meng Yuncheng had told him along the way.

He said, don't believe the officials in Chenggu County or even Changjin Mansion. Then, what the stall owner heard from the officers and soldiers were all lies?

"Those bandits are not death row prisoners or people sent into exile?" Meng Qi took a few steps and stood next to Meng Yunzheng, his voice lowered, "Then why did those officers and soldiers say that?"

"What do you think?"

Meng Qi is not stupid, he is just young and careless. Meng Yuncheng gave a little reminder on the side, and he quickly reacted.

Why did the officers and soldiers say that? If they spread such words, the common people will feel that these bandits are forced. If there is an amnesty, then they still have a way out and will not end up in a dead end.

The person who refuses to grant amnesty is...the current emperor.

Meng Qi suddenly gasped when he thought of this.

Are they targeting the emperor? The officials of Changjin Mansion and Chenggu County are targeting the Emperor. They want to rebel! !

Meng Qi's heartbeat was pounding. He never thought that things would be so serious.

Even his legs were a little weak at this moment. He grabbed Meng Yunzheng's arm and his voice was trembling, "Brother, they, why are they so brave?"

Shu Yu was funny. Before, he still called unfamiliar 'cousin' with a sense of boundaries, but now he calls him brother?

Meng Yunzheng was still walking forward as if nothing had happened, "They thought they could have a great future this way." Of course, it was also because they were in the wrong team early on.

"Then, will our Chenggu County become a battlefield?"

It's really hard to say, and Meng Yuncheng couldn't be sure. Of course the main battlefield is in the capital, but Changjin Mansion is definitely not peaceful either.

When Meng Qi saw that he didn't speak, his face became paler. He thought about the bandits who deliberately broke in and took away his father, and he didn't know how he got involved in such a thing.

"Okay, let's make peace with it now. When things have developed to this point, the most important thing for us now is to protect the people around us. Then wait for the court's rescue. Changjin Mansion is so big, the court will not ignore it."

General Huang is already on his way with his people, but they are a large force, so they haven't arrived yet.

But judging by the date, it should be these two days.

Therefore, there will soon be another wave of chaos in Chenggu County. Before that, they have to find his father and brother-in-law.
