Chapter 2364 There Was a Knock on the Door at Night

By the time Cheng Mansion returned to calm, it was already two hours later.

Zhao Xi took the female dependents of his married family and carried in the injured married women. After all, the martial arts of the Cheng family were average. Master Cheng was shot with an arrow. Fortunately, the arrow was not very powerful and the wound was not deep.

The eldest son of the married man was stabbed twice, and the injury was the most serious. His wife was seen crying.

Zhao Xi had already dealt with them, but Shu Yu didn't go there when he saw that there were many people there.

She turned over several guards who broke into the house, pulled out the crossbow arrows that had hit them, and recovered them.

Then he stood up and looked at Meng Yuncheng who came in covered with blood, "Has everything been taken care of?"

"Almost, but we still need to confirm if everyone is here." Meng Yuncheng came to Ronghou with a blood-stained sword, "You know how many people are in this mansion."

Ronghou nodded, "Everyone knows."

"Count the number of people and see if anyone is hiding."

"good."

Ronghou stood up holding the table, exhaled a long breath, and then followed Meng Yuncheng out.

After walking out of the yard in front of him and seeing the unfamiliar faces carrying corpses back and forth outside, he stopped abruptly and said, "They are..."

"my people."

Meng Yunzheng's visit to the southwest was originally ordered by the emperor.

It was naturally impossible for the emperor not to assign manpower to him, and Meng Yunzheng also had men.

In the early years, he had been trying to overthrow Gong Qiu, and he had also cultivated his own power, such as Shopkeeper Yun in the capital. A few years ago, Meng Yunzheng accompanied Shu Yu to the southwest, and these men followed him to look for the master of Dongqing Temple.

Later, Gong Qiu was beheaded and the second prince was imprisoned. Meng Yunzheng's life got back on track and he began to prepare for the scientific examination. So he dismissed these people, after all, he only planned to be an idle mountain leader in the future. And these people are very capable and should not be buried with him.

Most of them were recommended to the emperor by Meng Yunzheng, and a few went back to marry wives and have children and live ordinary lives.

This time Meng Yunzheng is coming to the southwest, and except for those who already have families, everyone else is coming with him.

After all, they are people who have worked together on official matters. They have a good understanding of each other and can be used easily.

These people have always been hiding in the dark and will not appear unless absolutely necessary.

Today is their chance to take action.

Ronghou looked at these people and finally couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Afterwards, he was glad that his choice was correct.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even know that they were making dumplings inside and outside.

Meng Yunzheng took him to count the number of people, and there were indeed several people hiding.

Fortunately, they were all drugged by Ronghou, so even if they were hiding, they were still unconscious and could be found easily.

Shu Yu did not participate in the aftermath. She went to find the master of Dongqing Temple.

The latter seemed to be in good spirits, and Shu Yu poured her a glass of water, "Master, the guards of Cheng Mansion have been taken down, what are your plans next?"

"what about you?"

Shu Yu, "We still have to wait for news at the house."

Temple Master Dongqing pondered for a moment, "I will join you."

So in the next few days, everything inside and outside Cheng Mansion was cleaned up.

The adult family members were more or less injured and all had to recuperate.

It took three or four days before adults could get out of bed and walk around. He was particularly worried about General Shen, and was about to ask Meng Yunzheng about the situation at the garrison.

Just that night, there was a sudden knock on the door outside Cheng Mansion.
