Chapter 1,719 Arrangements for the Laborers

Just as Meng Yuncheng was about to explain the matter to Lu Wu on the side, he saw a few people from the laborers walking towards him.

They looked a little reserved, but there was hidden expectation and excitement on their faces.

The man in the lead was slightly stooped and very thin. He asked Meng Yunzheng uneasily, "Meng, Mr. Meng, do you think we can do something?"

"Yes, Mr. Meng, we can also help. Although we have no other abilities, we have the strength."

"Yes, yes, we are very good at work."

They were worried and confused at first, but after Xia Yi revealed her identity, they suddenly felt much more at ease. These people are from the imperial court, so they are not bad.

But then I became a little worried again. They were different from people like Master Yang. Although they were locked up in the cell, they were still helping the black market. Moreover, when Master Yang and Lu Wu acted just now, they also Didn't follow to help.

What if afterward, they are considered to be working with the black market people and are convicted?

At this moment, they were a little anxious, thinking that if they could do their part, they might be able to make a difference.

Meng Yuncheng looked at them. These people were very thin and had injuries on their bodies. Many of them had bruises on their faces, which were obviously from being beaten while working. When they spoke, they would shrink back and their eyes would be filled with fear.

Seeing that Meng Yunzheng didn't speak, they became more and more worried.

"Mr. Meng, we can really, really do things. You can arrange it for us."

There was an old man behind him who even wanted to kneel down and beg him. Meng Yunzheng quickly said, "I do have something to ask you for help with."

"You say, you say." They became happy.

Meng Yunzheng said, "There are two entrances to the black market. We will go directly to Chenggu County in a while. You will send someone to guard that entrance. The other entrance leads to the outside of the city. You guys will block that entrance later." "

"block up?"

"Yes, the people in the black market followed Mr. Wu and the others out, but I don't know if they will come back soon. If they come back and find that the black market has changed hands, then we will have failed in what we have done."

Meng Yuncheng thought about it, and there were indeed a lot of these people. But they have been enslaved and tortured by black market people for many years, and have developed the habit of being afraid of them when they see them. It would definitely be inappropriate to take them out to deal with Magistrate Cheng and others. They are afraid of them in their bones. If they rush forward, they may be captured without help.

Rather than taking them on an adventure, it's better to let them guard the black market.

Blocking the entrance outside the city can be regarded as cutting off the way for Wu Sanye and others to come back.

What's more, there is a weapons arsenal in this black market. There are too many weapons. They can only take away so much, and the rest have to be kept in there.

Beyond that, there are treasure troves. There is not much else in the black market, but there is a lot of gold and silver. The things are kept in the secret room in Boss Ke's room.

Some of that money should have been sent to the capital to be used as funds for the second prince and the others.

But what's left is also a lot of wealth.

When the laborers heard that they had something to do, they hurriedly responded, "I, let's go now."

Meng Yunzheng picked a leader and asked a knowledgeable person under Lu Wu to follow him.

The laborers were very happy. In the past, they worked numbly and had almost no thoughts of their own. Now they are working on their own future, and everyone is very positive.
