Those who were lucky enough to escape fell to the ground, while the unlucky ones were trampled by the hooves of the horses. Immediately, a middle-aged woman was trampled on the left side of her chest. After the sound of bones breaking, her chest caved in. Blood flowed from her mouth, and she died.
The guards at the gate noticed the commotion and stepped forward to stop it. The twenty or thirty strong men on horseback took out a token from their waists.
"Who dares to stop the Meng's? Let them in!"
Hey, they were so stubborn.
The guards had seen arrogant people, but they had never seen anyone who dared to kill people on horseback and still dared to announce their family name.
Even if they were from the aristocratic families, they still cared about their face. How could they be so arrogant and rude?
"Stop them! Stop them all!" The head of the guards was unhappy. This kind of thing had happened so early in the morning, and several lives had been lost. If he let the murderer go just like that, he would be charged with a crime, and he would not be able to keep his position.
"I have never heard of anyone with the surname Meng in Hejian County. Arrest them!"
However, before the guards got close, the one who had trampled people to death on horseback blinded the guard with a whip.
"I am from the Meng's in Meng County, Cangzhou. How dare you!"
The Meng's?
The Meng's, one of the four noble families in Dongqing and the real emperor of Cangzhou?
The leader of the guards' expression changed several times. Finally, he forced a smile.
"Oh oh oh, I understand. May I know the reason why you have come?"
Breaking into the gate and trampling people to death? Did they really think that Hejian County was the same as Meng County in Cangzhou?
"Cut the crap and let us into the city. Otherwise, we will kill you!"
The whip in his hand cracked in the air, forcing the leader of the guards to take a step back. Just like that, the group of people casually rode their horses away.
Above the gate, the soldiers had already drawn their bows and arrows, waiting for the order to shoot.
The leader of the guards was livid. He raised his hand to stop them.
If they were really from the Meng's, they would be in trouble if they hurt them.
If they were not from the Meng's, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in Hejian County!
However, they still had to send someone to follow them. Who knew what they were up to?
Facing the people lying in pools of blood and hearing the moaning and groaning in his ears, the leader clenched his fists and punched the city wall in anger.
"Report this matter to the Prefectural Governor, then send the injured to the medical center. Record everyone's loss and those who died tragically … Send these to the Prefectural Governor and let him decide … The Meng Family of Cangzhou … they've gone too far!"
Early in the morning, there were already wails and cries outside the city gate.
Back to the other side.
After the group entered the city, they immediately galloped on the streets. Fortunately, the market had not opened yet and there were not many pedestrians, so it was easy to avoid them.
"Do you know where the Fulai Casino is?"
The leader stopped his horse in front of a passerby who obviously hadn't slept all night. The horse's hooves were raised high and almost fell on the man. The man was so scared that he was no longer sleepy. He felt as if he had taken a stroll through the gates of hell. His back was drenched in cold sweat.
"I, I, I … know …"
Under the threat of the horse's hooves, the passerby was so scared that he fell to the ground. The passerby was the gambler who had gambled all night in the Fulai Casino. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, his lips were pale, and his eyes were heavy. From afar, he looked like he was walking on air.
"You know? Good that you know. Take us there quickly, or you'll be whipped. "
The leader was overjoyed, and the dozens of strong men behind him also revealed relaxed expressions.
They didn't expect to be so lucky that they caught a person just after they entered the city gate, and he happened to know the Fulai Casino.
Thinking of Meng Liang, who had been missing for a long time, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
They didn't want to escort him to Shang Jing to hide. After all, Meng Liang's bad temper was well known. He was also a little lecher. Anyone who was targeted by him, no matter male or female, no matter how good-looking they were, could escape from his claws?
The lucky ones survived, and the unlucky ones were beaten to death directly!
Thinking that the family head, Meng Zhan, wanted him to be the heir of the family, many elders in the family felt a little disappointed.
The Meng's was so glorious. If it was handed over to a playboy like Meng Liang, wouldn't it be over?
How could he support a family with his little ability?
In contrast, the eldest Langjun, who had no sense of existence, was more popular. Unfortunately, he was far away in Shang Jing to study, and he wouldn't come back even once a year. He had almost no contact with the Meng's subordinates, and he didn't even write a letter to his family.
Thinking of this, people could understand.
Meng Liang had a son who didn't even have a son. How could he be more likable than Meng Liang, who was sweet and filial?
However, it was strange that they were both sons of the same mother. The second Langjun, Meng Liang, was useless, while the eldest Langjun, Meng Heng, was educated and polite. It was said that he was quite famous in Shang Jing. He was going to be evaluated this year, and it was estimated that he would get a good result.
Putting away the unnecessary thoughts, the leader threatened the gambler to lead the way. The gambler had no choice but to lead the way in fear.
The knife on the man's waist was real, and the whip in his hand was still dripping with blood. He didn't want to die.
"Is this the place?"
After several turns, the group stopped in front of a gambling house. Standing outside, they could hear the clamor inside the house.
"Yes, yes … There is only one gambling house here called Fu Lai … Well, sir, can I go now?"
If he led the way for others, he could get some tips if he was lucky. But he was leading the way for this man, and it was good enough that he didn't lose his life.
The gambler bowed. After getting permission from the leader, he quickly turned around and ran away as if he was being chased by evil spirits.
"Bah, coward!"
Behind him, a few of the attendants on horseback laughed, mocking the gambler's horrified expression and actions just now.
"Shut up. It's more important to find Langjun."
The leader scolded in a low voice, got off the horse, opened the curtain, and entered the gambling house with his knife.
There were about 20 or 30 people in the gambling house, all with knives. They were tall and burly, and had a strong aura. They seemed to be evil.
As soon as they entered the hall of the gambling house, the whole space became narrower than before.
The sharp-eyed waiter of the gambling house saw them, and his heart skipped a beat. Judging from their clothes and aura, they didn't look like they were here for fun … Could it be … that they were in trouble? Thinking of this, the waiter had cold sweat on his back. He forced a smile and went forward to welcome the guests.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, did you catch a young boy two days ago?"
The waiter's expression froze, and his forehead began to sweat.
