Chapter 1,664 Let’s Go, You Go Home
Meng Qi flinched when he heard this, and his brother really got it right.
Meng Yuncheng moved around on several holes for a moment, but did not press down, and quickly took his hand back.
Meng Qi was puzzled, "Brother, let's go in quickly."
"Ayu and I are going, you go home."
Meng Qi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why, why?"
Meng Yuncheng pointed at Yuan Gui, whose face was pale and was only supported by his last bit of willpower. "Although his injuries have been treated urgently, they are too serious and he is not suitable for following our adventures. If we delay any longer, there will be dangers." His life is in danger. Take him out to find a doctor and have his injury cured."
"But..." Meng Qi blinked and glanced at Yuan Gui. The latter was indeed in a trance. He couldn't even stand firmly and could only sit against the corner.
With this look, of course they couldn't leave the person alone.
Meng Qi wanted to ask Shu Yu to take him out. After all, the secret room was more dangerous. He was going to save his father, so he should go there in person.
But then I thought about Yuan Gui's age, and it was really difficult for his future cousin-in-law to help a grown man out.
Moreover, neither Yuan Gui nor his future cousin-in-law are familiar with the county. It would be bad if they encounter an officer on patrol when they go out.
Gritting his teeth, Meng Qi finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll take Yuan Gui out. You guys, please be careful."
Yuan Gui regained his breath and said to Meng Yunzheng, "Are you going to go there alone? Now that we know the location of the secret room and the way to get in, we can just go out and report it to the officials and ask them to come over. There are so many bandits, so It’s too dangerous for the two of you to go.”
Report to the official?
Meng Yunzheng and the others laughed, and he said to Yuan Gui, "When we came here, the atmosphere in this county was very wrong. I suspect there may be a traitor in the government, and the other party's position is not low. Therefore, it is very likely that the reporting officer will not be able to save him. People will also involve ourselves in it.”
He didn't say that both the county magistrate and the prefect had problems. There were some things that he wasn't suitable to know too much about.
Yuan Gui is shocked, traitor?
He seemed to suddenly think of something, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.
"No wonder, no wonder I saw the officers and soldiers chasing me this way that day. Later, I hid in the yard, but I never saw them come in to search. I didn't think much about it before, thinking they were chasing them somewhere else. . Thinking about it now, they knew there was something wrong with the yard and deliberately didn’t come in.”
There are even traitors in the government, and they pretend not to see the bandits operating right under their noses.
No wonder so many days have passed but the bandits in the city have not been caught and there has been no progress at all.
If someone in the government colludes with the bandits, will ordinary people like them still have a way to survive?
Yuan Gui tightened his fingers, "What should we do? If the government doesn't do anything, we can only...wait to die?"
"Of course not. The imperial court will not leave this place alone. We are just waiting for reinforcements." Meng Yunzheng said to him, "The most urgent thing is that you need to heal your own injuries first. When the time comes, you may need our help to deal with the bandits."
Yuan Gui nodded with a heavy expression.
Only then did Meng Yunzheng pull Meng Qi aside and speak in a very low voice, "Be careful when you leave the courtyard and try to avoid people. If you really encounter an officer or soldier by accident, just say you met a bandit and the other party grabs you." After receiving the money, you teamed up to fight him off. Just point in the direction, and remember not to reveal that you have been to this big house."
