Chapter 1671: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1671: Unexpected Appearance of Uncle from the Tao Family
Meng Yunzheng and his two companions had stopped for a while. In the corner of the cell, there was a person who had been trembling, suddenly stood up and rushed over, grabbing the bars, and with a pale face, he pleaded, "Elder brother, sirs, please let me go. I've said everything I should, please let me go."
Meng Yunzheng's expression changed slightly. He stepped back and stood behind the bandit, lowering his head slightly to avoid revealing his face.
However, his lowered gaze was filled with shock.
This person... turned out to be the uncle from the Tao family!!
Why would he be here? Meng Han had mentioned that after the chaos in Chenggu County, Uncle Meng and the others had gone to the Tao family, but at that time, the Tao family had no one left. Everyone had speculated that the Tao family might have sought refuge with others, yet the person was actually here?
Moreover, what did he mean by what he said just now?
What did he mean by saying he had said everything he should? What did he reveal?
Meng Yunzheng's face darkened. Could his uncle's capture be related to him?
Meng Yunzheng's odd behavior was noticed first by Shu Yu. She didn't recognize the Tao family's uncle, but she sensed that something might be amiss, so she discreetly stood in front of Meng Yunzheng.
The bandit was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Tao family's uncle. After recovering, he angrily scolded, "Shut up! What are you babbling about? Stay quiet, or I'll throw you to the tigers later."
The bandit shrank back but still spoke softly, "This sir, I..."
"Who are you calling 'sir'? Can't you see how old I am? I could be your grandfather. You still call me 'sir'? Am I that old?"
Tao Feili was frightened and kept apologizing in a fawning manner, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. This young friend..."
"Who are you calling 'young friend'? Know your place."
Tao Feili was at a loss for words.
After a while, seeing the bandit growing impatient, he quickly called out, "Please, sir, young master, hero, please don't leave. Please ask on my behalf when I can leave. I'll give you money after I get out. My elder brother runs a caravan, and there are valuable things at his house. If you let me go, I'll give you everything."
The bandit sneered, "Runs a caravan? Look at those people." He pointed at the people in the other cells. "Those are wealthy and influential families from Chenggu County. They're worth much more than a measly caravan. Can they leave?"
Tao Feili turned pale.
The bandit glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Also, do you know what these people in this cell do? You've been here with them for a few days, and you haven't bothered to ask."
At those words, Tao Feili's body began to tremble.
Of course, he had asked. The people he was confined with were all meant to be fed to beasts.
With the black market closed, he might have a few more days of safety.
But once the black market opened, when those clients arrived, with his healthy limbs, he would be the first to step onto the arena, fighting with tigers and wolves. No, what he'd be doing wasn't exactly fighting. He would just be awaiting his death.
Thinking of this, Tao Feili's legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground.
Soon, an unpleasant odor of urine filled the air.
The bandit hastily retreated, pinching his nose. "He actually wet himself?"
Tao Feili opened his mouth, wanting to plead, but he couldn't utter a word.
