Chapter 1644 The chaos of that night
With Meng Han's 'warning' in advance, most of the people in the Meng Family Escort Bureau are good players.
The bandits did not take advantage of them.
Coupled with the preparations made by Meng Pei and Uncle Meng, the capable people of the Meng family were resisting outside. Meng Qi quickly organized the old and weak women and children in the family to hide in the secret room as soon as possible.
It was only until everyone knew that the Meng family actually had such a hidden place. There was still water and food in the secret room, so it was very safe.
Meng Pei and Uncle Meng finally broke up, but when they heard the screams of killing and the blazing fire from outside, they did not dare to enter the secret room for a while.
If the Meng family guards were also set on fire, then they might all be suffocated in the secret room.
Actually, when Meng Pei was rebuilding the secret room, he dug a secret passage. He not only expanded the area of ??the secret room, but also wanted to dig another exit.
It's just that the matter of the secret room shouldn't be known to too many people. After he came back, he only told Meng Qi. At the beginning, their uncle and nephew did it by themselves. Later, when Uncle Meng came back, three people started.
But the time was too short, Meng Pei did not expect the chaos to come so quickly, and the immediate location of the chaos was in Chenggu County, so that the secret passage was only halfway dug, and they were caught off guard.
Fortunately, apart from the first group of bandits who broke into Meng's house and were cleaned up by them, no one came in behind.
The entire Chenggu County is so big, these thieves are more focused on those wealthy people.
A place like the **** bureau is not very rich, and there are good escorts, which are hard bones that are not easy to chew.
The Meng family was frightened all night, and when the next day dawned, the movement outside finally stopped. Meng Pei and Uncle Meng went out to take a look, only to realize that there was a mess outside.
The people in the secret room also came out. A few more courageous people went out to have a look. When they saw officers and soldiers coming and going outside, no one dared to go out.
Only Tao Shi and Tao Qin could not let the Tao family go, but the martial law outside, and the officers and soldiers did not allow people to go to the streets at will, and they stopped.
After two days, martial law was not so strict, and people slowly began to appear on the streets.
However, at this time, everyone also heard that the bandits had kidnapped many children of rich families, and wanted these people to collect ransoms.
This matter is obviously not over yet. Although the Meng family is fine, Meng Pei and Uncle Meng are still on alert.
After being able to go out, Uncle Meng went to the Tao family, but there was no one in the Tao family, so I didn't know where they went.
But the Tao family was a little chaotic and things were smashed, but there was no blood stains or the like. Thinking of coming to the Tao family, they escaped ahead of time.
As for where to flee to, at this juncture, they couldn't find out.
Uncle Meng also went to the homes of the guards who didn't live in the **** bureau, as well as the guards' homes. Seeing that everyone was all right, he was relieved.
However, they were apparently relieved too early.
After another day, small-scale chaos occurred again in Chenggu County.
When I went out the next day, I found out that there were still a small group of bandits in the city. Last night, they broke into a few families and killed them. It is said that those families killed a lot of people during the chaos on the first night. Bandit, so this small band of bandits is here to take revenge.
When the Meng family heard this, their expressions changed.
Although they did not encounter revenge, they are safe for the time being, but this can only mean that there are not many bandits, and there is currently no time to take revenge against them.
