Chapter 1724: Acting Separately
The group was a mixture of nervousness and excitement. In response to Meng Yunzheng's words, they shook their heads one after another, replying in hushed tones, "No problem."
"Good, then let's each go back to our homes. Remember, our time is limited. After returning, secretly organize the manpower. Don't leak any information. We'll take action in the evening."
"Understood."
Everyone agreed one by one, then began to distribute weapons...

Chapter 1723: Dad, Let Me Carry You Home
Meng Yunzheng understood, "Nowadays, no one dares to go out on the streets, and the bandits are among their own people. They patrol during the day to maintain appearances for the citizens, but at night, it's unnecessary, and the streets are naturally empty."
However, this actually made things easier for them.
But dawn was approaching, and they needed to make the most of their time.
Thinking about this, Meng Yunzheng looked b...

Chapter 1722: Yuan Gui is Fine
Meng Qi nodded repeatedly, "I took him back. He's okay."
After separating from Meng Yunzheng in the morning, he immediately took the unconscious Yuan Gui to the familiar medical clinic.
Just as Meng Yunzheng had suspected, there weren't many patrolling soldiers in the city. Some of them had likely entered the secret passage to the Black Market, pretending to be bandits.
Thus, Meng Qi encountered no unexpected incidents on his way. He ...

Chapter 1721: Meng Qi Waiting Outside
Meng Xiaoshu was still unconscious, so Meng Yunzheng gave him another pill.
He didn't have many of those pills left; he had diluted the poison he fed to the rebels, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough to go around. He had also allocated a portion of the remaining medicine for the injured people in the cell.
Thankfully, they would be returning soon, and Meng Yunzheng had stored some medicine with Xia Yan.
Meng Xiaoshu was ...

Chapter 1720: Leaving the Black Market
After arranging the laborers, Meng Yunzheng turned his attention to the group of young women.
Naturally, these young women couldn't join them to confront the soldiers from Chenggu County, and they couldn't be easily accommodated after leaving the secret passage either.
He consulted Xia Yi's opinion and eventually said, "There are still many captured rebels in the Black Market. We can't just kill them all. Once the situation settles d...

Meng Yunzheng was about to brief Lu Wu on some matters when he noticed several laborers approaching him.
They appeared somewhat hesitant but carried a hidden sense of anticipation and excitement on their faces.
The leader among them, slightly hunched in stature, appeared thin. He nervously asked Meng Yunzheng, "Young, Young Master Meng, do you think... we can do something?"
"Yeah, Young Master Meng, we can help too. Altho...

Yang Lao Ye responded, "Go ahead."
Meng Yunzheng continued, "I know that everyone's households have guards. Among them, gather those who are capable. They will be our main force against them. We have twenty-eight households. Althou...

Their anger started to rise. "This corrupt official, how could he do something so heartless?"

Uncle Yang and the others were taken aback, feeling puzzled and hesitatingly nodded. "Of course, we want to return. We've finally escaped danger, and we just want to reunite with our families. They must be worried sick about us."

Although Chenggu County was under the control of the County Magistrate, that was precisely why they needed to return there. The Meng family was still in the city, as were Uncle Yang, Young Master He, and their families.

And the Black Market was the perfect place to store weapons in the headquarters.

She blinked in surprise. "Is he dead?"

There were two entrances to the black market—one was the secret passage Meng Yunzheng and the others had used to enter, and the other was the entrance from outside the city.
If they didn't guard these two places, the people inside might try to escape when they sensed danger. But if they managed to escape and repo...

Upon closer inspection, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
Meng Yunzheng didn't have a favorable impression of Tao Feili, but he still asked, "Lu Wu, where is Tao Feili?"
