Chapter 1735 Operation!
Magistrate Cheng's eyes flickered, and he said respectfully, "General, you care about the people. Then I wish you a great victory and that you will wipe out those bandits in one fell swoop."
General Huang gave a curt "hmm" and led his men outside.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned to Magistrate Cheng, saying, "By the way, regarding Lady Lu's matter..." He paused, "At this critical juncture, it's best not to let her cause any trouble. Send more people to patrol the streets, as a way of giving her an explanation. Moreover, I heard there are still bandits in the city who haven't been caught. Sending more people to patrol might actually yield some unexpected results."
Magistrate Cheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, General, you are right."
"If you're short-handed, I can spare a few..."
“No need,” Magistrate Cheng hurriedly replied. “The important thing is for the general to wipe out the mountain bandits. After the general leaves, I will order the city gates to be closed and trap them. I believe that the mountain bandits hiding in the county will be restless when they hear that the general is coming. Once they show their true colors, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
General Huang nodded. "It's good that Lord Cheng understands."
After saying that, he didn't linger any longer and left the county town with his group.
He didn't bring many people into the city; the majority of his troops were still outside.
After Magistrate Cheng saw them off, he indeed ordered the city gates to be closed.
Xia Yi, who had been silently watching this side, finally left with satisfaction.
"Closing the door to beat a dog"—but it's unclear which dog they're beating.
With everything prepared, Shu Yu returned to the Meng Family Escort Agency. After noon, Meng Yunzheng returned as well.
His expression relaxed, indicating that things were going well.
Sure enough, Meng Yunzheng said, "Inspector Yin is still in charge of the area in the north of the city, but because he was injured before, Magistrate Cheng has assigned another inspector to manage it for him. The other inspector has designated an area, and Inspector Yin's more than one hundred men are stationed in that area. It's far away from both the magistrate's private residence and that abandoned mansion."
They had already discussed it with Inspector Yin, and by evening, he would take down another inspector and seize control of the north of the city.
After 11 PM, Meng Yunzheng took Meng Qi out, using the excuse of looking for Uncle Meng to once again check the situation on the street.
They then went to the door of Master Yang and He Er's house, and upon seeing the two pots of flowers placed at the door, they knew that they had all made preparations.
After going around the area, flowers were placed in front of the mansions of those who had been arrested and imprisoned in the black market, a signal they had agreed upon.
"Let's go back."
When Meng Yunzheng and his companion returned to the escort agency, all the escorts had already emerged from the secret room.
However, just in case, their family members are still hiding down there.
At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with excitement. They held weapons in their hands and waited for evening to arrive.
At the stroke of midnight, Meng Yunzheng addressed the group, “Let’s move out!”
The gate of the Meng Family Escort Agency was half open. Shu Yu stared at the movement at the gate, and soon a patrol team passed by.
What a coincidence, it was an old acquaintance, the Constable Hong they met on the street yesterday morning.
As they approached, Shu Yu flung open the door and shouted, "Officer Hong, help! Bandits have broken in!"
"What?" Constable Hong's expression changed slightly. How could bandits have broken in at this time? And even broke into the Meng family's residence.
The Meng Family Escort Agency is full of bodyguards.
