Chapter 1667 is actually quite sophisticated.

Very good, now we can definitively confirm that the magistrate of Chenggu County is one of the Second Prince's men.

There are two secret passages leading out of the black market, which is a bit troublesome.

Meng Yunzheng glanced at the secret passage leading to the county magistrate's private residence; it was dark and quite long.

He didn't speak, but continued walking forward, lowering his voice to ask the bandit, "Who's in charge of the black market now? Who's the boss of your black market?"

The bandit shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that our leader isn't in Changjin Prefecture; I don't know where he went. I haven't seen the current steward, but he's been out for the past few days."

Ultimately, he was just a lowly henchman assigned to guard the mansion. Knowing so much already shows his gossipy nature and ambition.

Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but think of the current situation in the capital. Perhaps anyone with a bit of ability had been sent to the capital?

There's a magistrate from Chenggu County and a prefect from Changjin Prefecture here. The black market is closed, so some useful people don't really need to stay here. The capital is where the manpower shortage is.

If that's the case, it would actually be a good thing for them.

Meng Yunzheng then asked about Jiang Kuanyu.

The bandits knew a bit about him. He came to the black market last year; his status wasn't particularly high, but he had a group of men under his command.

Jiang Kuanyu's fighting skills were mediocre, just flashy moves, but he was smart and rich. After coming to the black market, he made two contributions and was highly regarded by his superiors.

Jiang Kuanyu has been in the black market for the past two days, and he captured someone a couple of days ago. But who that person is, and what Jiang Kuanyu intends to do with him, the bandits have no idea.

After listening for a while, Meng Yunzheng walked a long way before finally hearing a faint sound coming from not far away.

The bandits suddenly became agitated, and Meng Yunzheng, standing behind them, sneered, "You can try exposing us now and see who dies a more miserable death."

The bandit abruptly stopped his unrealistic thoughts and gritted his teeth, saying, "You said that if I led you the way, you would give me the antidote."

"Of course, I keep my word. But that's on the condition that we leave safely."

The bandit turned his head and glanced at him, finally asking the question he had been holding back all the way: "Who exactly are you, and what are you trying to do by infiltrating the black market?"

Meng Yunzheng said, "Don't worry, there are only two of us. What can we do to an organization as big as yours? It's just that the person Jiang Kuanyu arrested a couple of days ago is my uncle, so of course we have to come and rescue him. After we get him out of here, we'll run far away. We don't want to get involved in what's going on here."

The bandits sneered, "You don't have the ability to get involved."

"So if you can help us find out where my uncle is as soon as possible, we can also get the antidote as soon as possible, and then we can be completely independent of each other."

The bandit hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that what the other party said was not very credible, he had no other choice at the moment.

"I'll try."

The three of them finally arrived at a stone door, and the bandit pressed a protruding rock next to it.

Suddenly, the stone door in front opened, revealing a face. The person asked, "Who is it?"

The bandit stepped forward with a smile, exchanged the secret code, and gave his name and the name of his superior. After receiving confirmation, the stone door slowly opened.

Shu Yu, “…” It’s quite sophisticated, with a secret code?

As soon as the three entered, the noise around them suddenly intensified, and the large space was brightly lit.
