Chapter 2346: Many People Came to Zhengdao Village Again
Coincidentally, Meng Yuncheng also had something to say to him, so he nodded immediately.
"Okay, the spicy stir-fried chicken that my sister-in-law made last time was delicious and delicious. Ayu told me about it two days ago. I think there is still some time before dark, so why not go for a walk in the mountains and hunt two pheasants? If you are lucky, Okay, maybe we can hit something big and send it to the governor's house tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Ma Lu's eyes lit up, "I'll go too."
A few years ago, he cooperated with Meng Yunzheng to defeat the big bug, but he had been thinking about it for several years. Today is a rare opportunity, and maybe he can get a big harvest.
Naturally, Meng Yunzheng would not refuse, so Shu Yu left. She looked at Fang Xiyue who came to the door after hearing the news and said, "I will rest in the village and talk to Ah Yue."
So Meng Yunzheng, Xu Dali, Ma Lu and Xiayan all walked towards the mountain.
Several people passed through the village, and when they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Meng Yuncheng saw a figure sitting outside one of the courtyard gates, holding a rough crutch beside him, limping on one leg and looking lifeless.
Seeing the four of them walking by, the man raised his head and took a glance, then leaned against the door frame again, completely drained of energy.
However, when Meng Yuncheng saw his appearance clearly, his expression changed, and then he continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
As soon as they entered the mountain, Ma Lu rushed inside. Meng Yuncheng shook his head and told Xiayan, "Follow me and don't lose it."
As soon as Xiayan left, Xu Dali whispered, "Several families who were exiled came here in the past few days."
Meng Yuncheng was thoughtful, thinking of the man he saw just now, "Is that the lame man sitting at the door just now?"
"Yes, their family just came here a few days ago. It seems that this man accidentally rolled down a mountain on the way to exile, broke his leg, and delayed medical treatment. Now he can't do heavy work. His family dislikes him, so he goes to work during the day. I wanted him to do something at home, but he broke something on the first day. Later, when his family went out, they locked the courtyard door and asked him to stay at the door. I saw If he looks like this, he will soon be unable to hold on and something will happen."
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Many of the prisoners who were exiled to Zhengdao Village used to have wealthy families. After arriving here, they couldn't bear the gap, and many of them went crazy and committed suicide.
"Mr. Meng, I will also pay more attention to these people."
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng said, "No, don't pay attention to anyone, including those on the list you gave me last time. Just do your own thing as before, and even if you see something you shouldn't see, treat it as invisible." . Zhengdao Village may be in chaos soon, so what you have to do is to protect yourself and your family."
Meng Yuncheng knew the lame man. When he was working with the fifth prince earlier, he met many people who followed him, including Qi Lie, Xiang Weinan, Master Jing, etc., including the lame man he saw just now.
Counting the days, Qi Lie should have arranged to come here after receiving the news from him. Among the newly exiled families that Xu Dali mentioned, there were probably several members of his own family.
The lame man is very skilled, but the lameness is just an illusion, probably to make people relax their guard and act more conveniently.
When Xu Dali heard that Zhengdao Village was about to be in chaos, he was shocked and said quickly, "I understand."
He didn't ask any more questions. Mr. Meng would naturally tell him what he should know.
"There's one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
"you say."
