Chapter 1667: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1667: Quite Sophisticated
Very well, now we can be completely sure that the County Magistrate of Chenggu is indeed the Second Prince.
There are two secret passages coming out of the black market, which complicates things.
Meng Yunzheng glanced at the dark and long secret passage leading to the County Magistrate's private residence, but he remained silent and continued walking forward. He lowered his voice and asked the bandit, "Who's in charge of the black market now? Who's the leader?"
The bandit shook his head, "I don't know. All I know is that the leader is not at Changjin Prefecture, and I have no idea where he went. The one in charge now, I haven't seen, but they've been absent these days."
Ultimately, he was just a lackey sent to guard the mansion. Knowing this much was already a sign of his inquisitiveness and ambition.
Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but think of the current situation in the city. Perhaps anyone with a bit of skill was sent to the capital?
Here, they had the County Magistrate of Chenggu, the Prefect of Changjin Prefecture, and the black market was shut down. They didn't need to keep the hands they required in this place anymore; the city was where the shortage of manpower was.
If that was the case, it might actually be beneficial for them.
Meng Yunzheng inquired about Jiang Kuanyu's situation.
The bandit did know a bit about him. Jiang Kuanyu arrived in the black market last year. His status wasn't particularly high, but he had a group of people under him who followed his orders.
Jiang Kuanyu's skills were average at best; he was just skilled in superficial techniques. However, he had money and brains. After coming to the black market, he achieved two successes in a row, gaining the attention of higher-ups.
These past two days, Jiang Kuanyu had been in the black market. He had captured someone a couple of days ago, but the bandit didn't know who the person was or why Jiang Kuanyu had captured him.
After listening for a while, Meng Yunzheng continued walking forward for a long distance and finally heard faint sounds not far away.
The bandit got excited, but Meng Yunzheng stood behind him and sneered, "You can try exposing us now and see who ends up worse."
The bandit abruptly abandoned his unrealistic thoughts and gritted his teeth, saying, "You promised to give me the antidote if I led you here."
"Of course, I keep my word. But the condition is that we'll give it to you once we're safely out."
The bandit turned his head and glanced at him, finally blurting out what he had held back all this time, "Who exactly are you, and what are you doing in the black market?"
Meng Yunzheng responded, "Don't worry, it's just the two of us. What could we possibly do against your large organization? We're here because the person captured by Jiang Kuanyu a couple of days ago is my uncle. Naturally, we came to rescue him. Once we've freed him, we'll leave this place far behind. We don't want to meddle in the affairs here."
The bandit snorted, "You don't have the ability to meddle."
"So if you can quickly find out where my uncle is and get the antidote for us, we'll both have nothing to do with each other."
After hesitating for a moment, the bandit, despite finding the other party's words somewhat untrustworthy, had no other choice before him.
"I'll do my best."
The three of them finally arrived in front of a stone door. The bandit pressed a protruding stone next to it.
The stone door in front suddenly opened slightly, revealing a person's face. The person asked, "Who's there?"
The bandit stepped forward with a smile, gave the correct password, and mentioned his own name and the name of his superior. After receiving confirmation, the stone door opened slowly.
Shu Yu, "..." Quite sophisticated, even with a password?
After the three entered, the noise around them suddenly grew louder, and the spacious area was brightly illuminated.
