Chapter 1724: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
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.
This time, each person carried a maximum of two weapons. They couldn't use carts anymore. With dawn approaching, the patrolling soldiers would be out soon. Pushing carts would create too much noise, and if they were caught, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Fortunately, they had quite a few things they needed at their homes. Those with guards or servants still had wooden sticks, knives, and swords.
So, besides the necessary weapons, they left the rest along with the carts in the abandoned mansion. For the sake of convenience, they hid them in the room near the small door that Meng Qi had used to lead them in.
Once everything was settled, they began to prepare to leave in pairs.
Usually, those with skills paired up with those without, dispersing to avoid being too conspicuous.
He Zizhu's group was the last to leave. Watching them, Meng Yunzheng exhaled slowly and said, "You'll be taking care of the families of the victims."
He Zizhu's group consisted of neighbors, relatives, or friends of those killed by the Black Market. They were closely related and knew about the victims' families. However, they had a significant responsibility. Before leaving, Meng Yunzheng had inquired about their situations in detail and coordinated their actions.
Firstly, they definitely couldn't show up at the victims' homes immediately. They had to return home first, bring the heads of the affected families together through their parents and relatives, and then try to persuade them. After that, they had to rely on their own improvisation.
He Zizhu nodded, "Young Master Meng, don't worry. We'll ensure the task is completed."
The group quickly vanished into the night. The only ones left at the mansion were Meng Yunzheng, Shu Yu, Meng Pei, Meng Xiaoshu, Meng Qi, and... Master Yang.
With Meng Xiaoshu heavily injured and unconscious, and since some of Meng's friends were known only to Meng Pei, Meng Pei had to be the one to contact them. Meng Pei was responsible for handling the affairs of the Meng family.
Shu Yu accompanied Meng Qi in taking Meng Xiaoshu to the clinic. The clinic was located just two streets away from the city gate. She also kept an eye on the activity at the city gate, ready to provide support if needed.
Finally, it was Meng Yunzheng's turn. He said to Master Yang, "Let's go too, head to the north side of the city and find your nephew."
They were planning to meet Inspector Yin. If he was still alive and in control of the hundred-odd men under him, that would provide them with an additional layer of assistance.
If Inspector Yin had encountered trouble and his men were no longer following him, Meng Yunzheng could make adjustments and improvise accordingly.
After everyone got ready, they went their separate ways, heading in different directions.
The night was quiet. Shu Yu wasn't very familiar with Chenggu County, so as she followed Meng Qi towards the clinic, she observed her surroundings, trying to gain a general understanding of the town.
The three of them soon arrived at the back door of the clinic. Meng Qi looked around and knocked on the door.
After a while, a low voice from inside inquired, "Who, who's there?"
"Uncle Mi, it's me."
The person inside visibly relaxed and quickly opened the door. They were greeted with the sight of Meng Xiaoshu lying on Meng Qi's back.
