The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1738: Chapter 1738: Corrupt Official, Prepare to Die

Now, these roughly three hundred people have all been captured by them.

Even if there are a few stragglers, they are not a threat.

Meng Yunzheng glanced at the sky, which had turned completely dark, and reached out to Meng Qi, ”Bow and arrow.”

Meng Qi quickly took the bow and arrow off his back, and Meng Yunzheng looked up, drew the bow, the bowstring pulled taut.

In the next moment, he suddenly released his right hand.

A long whistle sounded, echoing over Chenggu County instantly.

Old Master Yang, He Er, and others who were hidden not far from the two city gates brightened their eyes and suddenly shouted loudly, ”Brothers, charge!”

The officers guarding the city gate were dozing off. To them, Chenggu County posed no real danger. They were just going through the motions. But even making an appearance was exhausting, especially since General Huang had come over early this morning.

Therefore, when the signal arrow’s whistle sounded, they were startled but didn’t take it seriously, only looking up blankly at the sky.

Who would have thought that in the next moment, a group of people armed with swords, guns, and halberds would rush over.

The officers were stunned, looking up in surprise, but had no time to react before that group of people had already reached them and pounced directly.

Some officers shouted loudly, but no one listened.

This group of people, roughly counted, had seventy or eighty members, which compared to the thirty or so officers guarding the city gate, was like two against one.

Yet, the city gate remained closed, and the path into the city was blocked. They had nowhere to escape and were directly subdued, their necks held at swordpoint.

Some officers, unaware of the situation, loudly proclaimed their innocence.

But He Er and others paid no heed. Young Master Meng had said that among them, there might indeed be officers wrongfully accused who didn’t know the truth. But it didn’t matter. To be safe, they would capture everyone first.

As for who is innocent, after everything is over, someone will naturally examine the situation slowly. If it’s proven they were unaware, they can be released at that time.

At the same time, County Magistrate Cheng, who was reading official documents in the county office, suddenly frowned.

Unlike those officers who thought the situation was under control and not worth worrying about, County Magistrate Cheng was much more tense, especially since General Huang had come over; even though he wasn’t inside the city, this didn’t ease his nerves.

When the whistle of the signal arrow reached his ears, he jumped in fright.

Instinctively, he thought that General Huang and his people had already begun their action, and this was their signal.

But immediately, something felt off: the sound of the whistle was too close, close enough that it seemed... as if it was inside the city.

County Magistrate Cheng’s expression changed dramatically. He urgently stood up and hurried out of the study room, shouting for his guard, ”Ah Pin, Ah Pin, go see what’s happened.”

A guard quickly appeared before County Magistrate Cheng at the door, responded, and immediately went out.

Who knew, after just a few steps, more than twenty people rushed in from outside.

The leading woman exuded a murderous aura, her sword glinting with cold light, pointed with fresh blood.

County Magistrate Cheng was shocked, retreating a step fiercely, ”Who are you? You, you dare commit murder in the county office!”

Xia Yi said coldly, ”Imperial Guard, Xia Yi, corrupt official, your life is mine.”

Imperial Guard???

County Magistrate Cheng gasped. The emperor knew, he knew he was with the Second Prince.

And this Xia Yi, when did she enter Chenggu County?
