Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: Pretty Sophisticated Setup

Very well, now we can thoroughly confirm that the county magistrate of Chenggu County is indeed a person of the Second Prince.

There are two secret passages out of the black market, which makes things a bit troublesome.

Meng Yunzheng glanced at the secret passage leading to the county magistrate’s private residence. It was pitch black and very long.

He didn’t speak and continued to walk forward, lowering his voice to ask the mountain bandit, “Who is in charge of the black market now? Who is the head of your gang?”

The mountain bandit shook his head, “I don’t know. I only know that the head is not in Changjin Prefecture, and I don’t know where he went. The steward in charge now I haven’t seen, but he’s not here these days,”

After all, he’s just a little minion sent to guard the big house. Knowing this much already shows he’s ambitious with his gossip.

Meng Yunzheng couldn’t help but think of the current situation in the capital. Could it be that anyone with some skill has been dispatched to the capital?

Over here there’s the county magistrate of Chenggu County and the magistrate of Changjin Prefecture, the black market is shut down, and indeed some useful manpower doesn’t need to stay here. The capital is where people are needed.

If so, it might actually be a good thing for them.

Meng Yunzheng asked about Jiang Kuanyu again.

The mountain bandit did know a bit about his matters. Jiang Kuanyu came to the black market last year, his status wasn’t very high, but he had a bunch of people under him who followed his orders.

Jiang Kuanyu’s abilities were so-so, just flowery fists and embroidery legs, but he was smart and wealthy. After coming to the black market, he made two successive achievements and was highly regarded by those above.

These past two days Jiang Kuanyu has been in the black market. Two days ago, he brought someone back. But who this person is and what Jiang Kuanyu wants to do with him, the mountain bandit didn’t know.

Meng Yunzheng listened satisfactorily, walked a long stretch forward again, and finally heard faint noises not far away.

The mountain bandit suddenly became excited. Meng Yunzheng, standing behind him, sneered, “You can try exposing us now and see who ends up worse off.”

The mountain bandit abruptly stopped those unrealistic thoughts in his head, gritting his teeth, “You said you would give me the antidote if I led the way for you.”

“Of course, I keep my word. But the premise is, after we leave safely.”

The mountain bandit turned his head to glance at him and finally asked the question he suppressed all this way, “Who exactly are you, sneaking into the black market and trying to do what?”

Meng Yunzheng, “Rest assured, there are only two of us. What could we possibly do to affect such a large organization like yours? It’s just that the person Jiang Kuanyu captured two days ago is my uncle, so of course, we have to rescue him. Once he’s safe, we’ll run far away and don’t want to get involved in matters here.”

The mountain bandit gave a cold snort, “Even if you wanted to get involved, you don’t have the ability.”

“So if you help us quickly find out my uncle’s whereabouts, you can get the antidote sooner, and we can go our separate ways.”

The mountain bandit hesitated for a moment. Although he felt the other’s words were not very credible, he didn’t have any other options at the moment.

“I’ll do my best.”

The three finally arrived at a stone door, where the mountain bandit pressed a protruding stone block beside it.

The stone door suddenly opened a gap, revealing a person’s face. The person asked, “Who?”

The mountain bandit stepped forward with a smile, gave the password, reported his name and his superior’s name, and after getting confirmation, the stone door slowly opened.

Shu Yu, “…” It’s quite sophisticated, even has a password?

Once the three entered, the noise in their ears suddenly became louder, and the large space was brightly lit.
