The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1736: Chapter 1736: Taking Down Constable Hong

Constable Hong, without saying a word, led his men into the Meng family’s escort agency. Shu Yu’s lips curled subtly as everyone entered, and he immediately shut the main door.

Constable Hong and his men were already running inside, asking as they ran, “Where are the mountain bandits?”

He acted as if he was desperate to find someone to fight, but everyone knew which side he was truly on.

Shu Yu hurriedly rushed to the front to lead the way. “Inside, in the direction of the fighting sounds.”

Indeed, Constable Hong heard the sounds of fighting and ran even faster.

When they reached the backyard, they saw a few people in combat. There were only two in mountain bandit attire, but there were four or five from the Meng family’s escort agency, clearly outnumbering them.

He immediately stepped forward and shouted, “Stop! You are too bold, barging into a private home in broad daylight. General Huang is just outside the city; you’ll soon be caught.”

Saying this, he and his men joined the fray.

Their intention was to help the mountain bandits escape from the Meng family’s escort agency under the guise of chaos. But just after taking a few strides, those bandits suddenly turned around and attacked them.

Constable Hong was taken aback and didn’t have time to react before he was restrained.

He turned his head sharply and realized that the person in the mountain bandit attire was none other than Meng Yunzheng.

Constable Hong was shocked, “You…”

Meng Yunzheng smiled at him, “Constable Hong, you’re quite quick at capturing mountain bandits today.”

“Young Master Meng, what is the meaning of this? Why are you capturing me? I am an officer.”

“It’s officers like you that we’re capturing.”

While speaking, the officers behind Constable Hong were also subdued.

Shu Yu and Meng Han tossed a few thick hemp ropes in front of them, and Meng Yunzheng, Uncle Gao, and the other escorts swiftly bound them.

Constable Hong couldn’t believe it, “Are you planning a rebellion? Do you know the charge for ambushing officers? Are you all courting death?”

His bravado caused a few escorts to become somewhat nervous.

Seeing this, Shu Yu simply squatted down, looked at Constable Hong, and smiled, “We all know who’s really planning a rebellion. Constable Hong, you have quite the nerve, risking your entire family’s lives to help County Magistrate Cheng collude with the rebels! Truly audacious!”

“How do you know?” Constable Hong drew in a sharp breath, looking at him in disbelief. He then turned to look at the others, but Meng Yunzheng and his people were all staring blankly at him.

His heart panicked, and he hastily denied, “What nonsense are you all spouting? Not only did you ambush officers, but now you’re slandering County Magistrate Cheng. Do you know the charge for slandering an imperial court official?”

Shu Yu gave a light snort, took a piece of rag handed over by Ying Xi, and directly stuffed it into his mouth.

“Save your breath. These sophistries can be told to General Huang once the rebellion is quelled.”

Constable Hong’s eyes widened. What did this mean? What was she talking about? General Huang knows?

He struggled fiercely, but whether it was his hands, feet, or mouth, he couldn’t move and could only rage impotently.

Meng Yunzheng had his people take Constable Hong and the others into a room and, to be safe, knocked them unconscious before locking them inside.

The ones guarding them were Uncle Gao and the other escorts.

Outside, the sky gradually dimmed. Meng Yunzheng squinted toward the distance, “I wonder how Old Master Yang and the others are doing.”
