Chapter 1,652 The Direction of the County Government
Meng Qi nodded, yes, now is not the time to think wildly. No matter whether there will be a fight or not, all they can do is protect their family.
Meng Qi took a deep breath and raised his head.
When he raised his head, he realized that they had been walking towards the county government office just now.
Meng Qi was startled, "Brother, aren't we looking for someone? This is the direction to the county government office."
Didn't his brother go to the county government twice? The scholar who passed the exam last time was invited to have dinner by the county magistrate, so he must know the way.
Meng Yuncheng nodded, "I know."
"That……"
Meng Qi was still confused when he saw a group of patrolling officers and soldiers walking in front of him.
He shut up for a moment and thought about how to avoid them.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng went straight up to meet us. The officers and soldiers in the team frowned and asked, "Who are you, and where are you going?"
"Brother Hong, do you still remember me?"
As soon as Meng Yuncheng spoke, the leading officer and soldier recognized him, "So it's Meng Xiucai. When did you come back? Where are you going?"
Meng Yuncheng still had a look of anxiety on his face, "I just arrived yesterday. When I came back, I heard that my brother-in-law was kidnapped by a group of bandits. I was planning to go to the Yamen to find out if my brother-in-law was there. Whereabouts, I heard that the policeman who was patrolling at the beginning chased after him after hearing the noise, I wonder what the result was?"
This incident happened just two days ago. Many people had talked about it, saying that the bandit was becoming more and more bold. They used to operate at night, but now they even dare to show up during the day.
As a result, people in the city became more and more panicked.
Of course, Detective Hong knew about this. Faced with Meng Yunzheng's inquiry, he could only sigh and shake his head, "Meng Xiucai, I heard about this from the brothers who chased me. Those bandits are very evil. , He was very skilled, and by the time the brothers chased him, he had long disappeared. Later, we also checked the area, and there were no traces left at all."
Meng Yuncheng's brows furrowed even more, "How could this happen?"
"Meng Xiucai, don't be anxious. Bouncer Meng is very skilled. He might have escaped." That being said, if he really escaped, it would take several days and he still wouldn't go back?
It's probably more bad than good.
Meng Yuncheng smiled bitterly, "I hope so."
He rubbed his forehead, and when he raised his head again, he managed a smile, "No matter what, I still have to go look for it. Brother Hong, do you know which direction those bandits fled in that time?" I’ll go take a look around.”
Detective Hong immediately pointed him in the direction, "Just over there, Meng Xiucai can go look for it. You are a scholar, smart and careful, you might be able to find something. If you have any clues, you must tell us in time." Those bandits are numerous and very strange, so you must not confront them head-on. We will also arrange people here to continue to search for the whereabouts of Meng Biaotou, but the manpower is limited, so we can only do our best."
"I understand. Once we have clues, we will come to Brother Hong immediately. By then, Brother Hong will be able to bring people over and catch them all."
After saying that, he raised his hands and said, "Goodbye."
He turned around, facing away from Detective Hong, and the smile on his face instantly dropped.
Detective Hong stood behind them, watching their figures go away, and then continued patrolling with his men.
The two sides quickly separated, and Meng Qi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, didn't you say they can't be trusted? Why did we tell them our purpose so that they wouldn't be on guard?"
