Chapter 321 Suffering

As Zhou Yunshu had thought before, when the three of them arrived at the county government office, Cao Mengyun had already returned to the county government office.

He was standing at the gate of the county government office, talking to a man who was holding an official sword but was obviously not a yamen runner, tears streaming down his face as he spoke.

"The guy standing in the front holding a knife is my brother. We are sworn brothers!" Geng Jiang couldn't help but want to rush out.

"Wait a little longer."

Zhou Yunshu was afraid that Cao Mengyun would take advantage of Geng Jiang, and some of Geng Jiang's brothers knew about it.

But looking at Cao Mengyun crying at the gate of the county government office opposite, the two of them did not seem to be in cahoots.

If they were really in cahoots, it would be a bit redundant to put on such a show, after all, there are only a few audiences.

Zhou Yunshu took another look and said to Chu San: "Let's jump over the wall."

"Jump over the wall? This is me..." Geng Jiang slowly swallowed the words he had not finished speaking under Zhou Yunshu's gaze.

"good."

He is not as smart as Zhou Yunshu, so he just takes whatever she says as the truth.

Although Geng Jiang had quite a few people in the county government office, there were no rules and they were not rigorous. They patrolled in groups of three or four and were very perfunctory.

However, this also made it convenient for Zhou Yunshu and the other two, as they easily sneaked into the county government office.

Geng Jiang was quite familiar with the county government office. Under his command, Zhou Yunshu and Chu San took him to his original residence, until they met Cao Mengyun and Geng Jiang's sworn brother coming in from the gate of the county government office on the way.

"The boss was too naive, that's why he believed the slander of that treacherous Li Qilang and ended up losing his life!"

Cao Mengyun choked up, his voice insincere, "Hero, Li Qilang is still fleeing in the city. We must find him and avenge our leader!"

"We must take revenge! I knew it." Yu Yinghao said angrily, "None of these officials are good!"

"That's right. You saw me trying to persuade the boss, but he just wouldn't listen. I don't know what kind of drug Li Qilang gave him to make him so obedient to Li Qilang!"

"There's no point in saying so much now. I'll send my brothers to defend Nanchuan City right now. I don't believe we can't capture Li Qilang!"

"That Li Qilang is quite eloquent. If he is really the brother-in-law of the Prince of Huainan, it would be best to silence him first if we catch him. Otherwise, if he escapes, we brothers will probably be the ones to suffer."

Yu Yinghao nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

After saying that, Yu Yinghao directly called on the brothers following him to leave, leaving Cao Mengyun alone standing there.

Geng Jiang looked at the lone Cao Mengyun and wanted to rush out to teach him a lesson, but he was held tightly by Chu San and dared not speak. He could only watch Cao Mengyun stand there for a while and then walk towards the backyard of the county government office.

When there was no one around, Geng Jiang said, "Those who should have rushed out just now are all my men. Detain Cao Mengyun and kill him!"

Zhou Yunshu glanced coldly at the clueless Geng Jiang and said, "Didn't you see the man behind your brother, with his knife still unsheathed?"

"Really? He's my brother's man, so he probably did that to protect..."

Geng Jiang was interrupted by Zhou Yunshu before he could finish his words. "If you wanted to protect him, you wouldn't have locked eyes with Cao Mengyun, and you wouldn't have left your open scabbard right behind that hero."

"If he draws his sword, he will definitely not give you a chance to fight back, unless his martial arts skills are as high as Third Uncle's."

Geng Jiang choked, "What should we do now?"

"Who has more say among your people, your brother or Cao Mengyun?"

"Of course it's Old Fish!"

"You should be more familiar with the county government than we are. Find a time when Yu Yinghao is alone and explain everything to him."

"Okay! I know where he's going, let's go!"

Zhou Yunshu shook her head, "You left on your own."

She glanced at the wound on Geng Jiang's body and asked him, "Can the wound still hold up?"

Geng Jiang nodded. "I've endured worse injuries before, and I've managed to survive. This is nothing!"

After saying that, he said awkwardly, "Aren't you guys coming with me?"

Although he returned to his base, Geng Jiang was still a little panicked because of Cao Mengyun's presence.

"Let's split up and keep an eye on Cao Mengyun." And find out more about the county government office at the same time.

"What happens next? What if I get in touch with Yinghao?" Geng Jiang looked at Zhou Yunshu helplessly.

Zhou Yunshu sighed in her heart. She felt like she was taking care of a child who knew nothing.

"Just follow what Cao Mengyun said before and surround Nanchuan City."

"Ah? Arrest you?"

"Catch the traitor! Catch those who sneaked in today! Those who were with Cao Mengyun, you haven't forgotten that group of people are still in the city!"

Geng Jiang immediately understood, "I see. This is what you all used to say, don't hit the snake."

"Don't alert the enemy, act according to the situation."

Zhou Yunshu was obviously much younger than Geng Jiang, but at this moment she patted his shoulder and said, "I'm optimistic about you. You have to be honest, but you also have to play dumb with your brothers. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Um"

Zhou Yunshu didn't say any more words to Geng Jiang, and took Chusan directly to the direction Cao Mengyun had just left.

Chusan was very good at tracking people. Although the two could no longer see Cao Mengyun, in less than half an incense stick of time, Chusan brought Zhou Yunshu to a yard in the backyard.

The two men squatted skillfully at the foot of the wall, and soon they heard the voices of Cao Mengyun and a woman talking.

"Pack your things, we have to leave Nanchuan City before dawn."

This is Cao Mengyun's voice.

"Why? Where's Geng Jiang? Where's the others?"

"I was stabbed, and it's unclear whether I'm alive or dead. Ah Gui has already led his men to raid the wealthy people in Nanchuan City. We don't have much time left."

Cao Mengyun's voice was urgent, but the woman did not speak again after he said this.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things!"

"We didn't catch Li Qilang. Now Yu Yinghao is leading his men to defend Nanchuan City to prevent him from leaving before us. We don't have much time. You take your luggage to the South City Gate. I will lead my men to scrape off the ground in Nanchuan City and then look for you and your mother."

Compared to Cao Mengyun's anxiety, the woman opposite can be said to be very calm.

"Geng Jiang's life or death is unknown. You let me, a woman, take the child away. Aren't you afraid that Geng Jiang's brothers will find out and kill you?"

"I'll take care of you."

The woman glanced at Cao Mengyun and said, "Stop being so hypocritical. When you gave me to Geng Jiang, I was already Geng Jiang's."

"But the child is mine!"

"His father is Geng Jiang."
