How much power did the Meng's of Cangzhou have in Dongqing?
The Hejian County Chief had only heard about it before. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he was furious!
What did they mean by he was just a small county chief with a title but no power? What could a small official do to him?
"This is too much! This is too much! The Meng's of Cangzhou are too much! "
The Hejian County Chief was so angry that he flipped over the table. The fat on his body shook with his movement, and the mustache on his lips almost curled up.
It was true that Hejian County was just a small county according to the size of the land and the number of people. But since it was a county, he deserved to be the Hejian County Chief. How could he tolerate being humiliated by the servants of the Meng's?
The guards of the Hejian County Chief's Manor who had escorted the people there also looked furious.
The leader grinned hideously, raised his hand, and patted the shoulder of the leader of the guards. He whispered to him.
"I told you how you brought me here and how you sent me out. Why do you have to humiliate yourself?"
"Let's go!"
The leader waved his hand, and the twenty or thirty people swaggered out of the Hejian County Chief's Manor. They were extremely arrogant.
In the distance, Jiang Pengji lifted the curtain of the carriage coldly and looked at the arrogant people quietly. They were like roosters who had won a fight.
The audience in the streaming room did not witness the whole process, nor did they see how arrogant those people were in the Hejian County Chief's Manor. However, based on the words of the leader, many people said that they were too arrogant. If they had the ability, why didn't they explode on the spot?
Ahhh: "I don't agree with the streamer. I'm so angry that my lungs are about to explode." Even Li Gang's son was not so arrogant. The leader was just a servant of the Meng's. How could he be so arrogant? He would not even survive the second episode in a TV series! "
Yinzhe: "To put it bluntly, not only did he survive the second episode, but he also walked out of the Hejian County Chief's Manor alive."
Yili Shabai: "Alas, that's how the ancient society was. Power could crush people to death …"
Time Passes Between Fingers: "It's really annoying. Although I know that people's lives were worthless in ancient times, I didn't expect it to be so cheap." There were at least fifty to sixty corpses brought out of the casino. That was fifty to sixty lives!
[Pianxian Dia Wu]: "Oh, I don't agree with the saying that time flies. The correct way to put it should be 'the lives of civilians are like weeds, or even less than weeds'. The lives of people with social status are precious."
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a little quiet. Previously, when they stopped outside the gambling house, many viewers had already left due to the pressure.
It was just that the queue for the live stream was always full. After a wave of people was pushed out, there would still be new people filling in. The number of people online had always been stable at 10,000.
Jiang Pengji looked at it coldly for a while and suddenly sent a message in the streaming room.
Host V: Are you guys afraid of blood?
The viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded. Why did he suddenly ask this question?
Could it be that his nerve reflex arc was too long?
The next second, Jiang Pengji added another one.
Host V: "If you're not afraid, I'll teach you the right way to kill."
For a moment, the entire live streaming channel was silent, and the bullet screen was empty for a long time.
In just a moment, her vision was drowned by the overwhelming number of 666s.
[Yiye Chengzhou]: "Daily Brainwashing Task: Be Impressed by the Streamer's Handsomeness (Completed 1/1)."
[Pianxian Dia Wu]: "Let's not talk about anything else, just based on the Streamer's straightforwardness, I have to give you a string of 666."
[Yili Sha Bai]: "Do you still need a leg accessory? You can shout 666 in all kinds of positions. "
The audience in the streaming room was almost boiling. Jiang Pengji's lips had a trace of a sneer.
If you're not happy, you'll fight back. Only a tortoise would swallow his anger!
"Let's go back first."
The carriage's curtain was put down, and the coachman lightly whipped the rope.
It didn't take long to get to the Liu's from there. Jiang Pengji directly asked someone to go to the stable and bring the horse over.
"I have to go out for some things. If father asks where I went, tell him I'll be back before the city gate is locked."
Taking the reins, Jiang Pengji easily leaped onto the horse's back.
She took a shortcut and avoided the crowded places. Jiang Pengji arrived at the city gate without a hitch.
Seeing the indignant expressions on the guards' faces, Jiang Pengji calmed down.
She murmured in a low voice, "It looks like they just passed the city gate. I should still be able to make it."
The inspection at the city gate was not slow. She quickly took the reins and mounted the horse, rushing in the direction of the group.
The war horse of the Northern Borderline was pure white. It had a well-proportioned and handsome body, was good at long-distance raids, and had a long endurance. It was a rare and famous horse.
It was the first time Jiang Pengji had ridden it, except for the gathering.
"They should be right in front … But the terrain is flat, and it's easy to be exposed in a short distance … Let's take a detour and get ahead of them …"
Seeing the messy and deep hoof prints on the ground, Jiang Pengji's eyes flashed. She slightly pulled the reins and let the horse gallop in another direction.
The group of more than 20 people naturally wouldn't expect that someone was following them, waiting for the best time to strike.
One of the attendants looked a little worried. He asked the leader, "If the master blames us for abusing the Meng's name …"
"How can that be considered abusing? If it weren't for those people in Hejian County, we would have been at the next station by now. Second Langjun was kidnapped by Meng Hun and his gang. Now is the time to save him. Can they afford to waste such an important time? "
The leader didn't say anything. It was another attendant who spoke. It was not the first time that he had used the Meng's name for his own benefit.
"Shut up, all of you. It's more important to get to the next station as soon as possible." The leader pursed his lips. He was anxious.
Since the leader had spoken, the others didn't dare to say anything. They all lowered their heads and hurried on.
Because of the delay, they couldn't get to the nearest station. The horses were exhausted and needed a rest.
The leader looked at the sky and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. "Let's rest here first."
He sat on a small stool and rested. His whole body was covered in sweat. The others also looked tired.
They had rushed to Hejian County after receiving the news from Meng Liang, but they were too late. Meng Hun had already kidnapped Meng Hun.
In order to send the scroll back to Cangzhou as soon as possible, they had to continue their journey. In other words, they hadn't slept for a day and a night.
They wanted to go to the nearest station to rest and prepare enough food and water to feed the horses, but they still didn't make it in time.
"Leader, we're out of water and food …"
If they had known this would happen, they would have restocked in Hejian County first. Now they were in the middle of nowhere. It was too cruel.
"Just send three people out to look for him. Rest for an hour. Don't be late."
Hejian County was surrounded by deep mountains. There were many ferocious birds and beasts. With their skills, it was easy for them to hunt small prey.
On the other side, Jiang Pengji was hiding nearby. She could hear their conversation clearly.
