Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Losing the Son and Breaking the Grain (3)

227: Lost son and lost grain (3)

The food transportation team started on the road after a short rest at the tea shop. Hejian County is not far ahead. They only need to persist for half a day before they can escape from the heavy delivery task... Many cooks have this idea, It seems that the limbs have endless strength.

Finally, they arrived at the gate of Hejian County before sunset.

Because the line was long, the leader of the retinue couldn't gallop in like before, so he had to be patient and wait for the line to slowly fill up with him.

At this time, a clever-looking cook trot stepped forward to ask.

"Mr. Jun, can we finish the work by sending these grains to the city?"

The leader of the retinue rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Who told you that? Just wait for the order, don't worry about it!"

The cook asked him, who did he ask?

The size of the food team has attracted a lot of attention along the way. Meng Hun should have known that they were coming.

However, until now, I still don't know what the gangster wants to do, where, when, and in what way the other party will take over the food. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the other party to send people with peace of mind, and then hand over the people and the food.

Just as he was thinking, the line was almost up to him, the leader of the retinue looked at the tall and majestic city gate, and couldn't help frowning.

Because the job of guarding the city gate is in turn, and the guards on duty today are not the same group as before, so they didn't immediately recognize that the leader of the retinue was the culprit of the bloody murder at the city gate. Everyone only saw the food team, and they couldn't help but become suspicious.

A city gate guard stepped forward and asked, "Where are you from? What's in the car?"

A pair of dripping mouse eyes circled around the cook and the soldiers escorting the food and grass, thinking about how to squeeze out some oil and water.

They have done a lot of this kind of thing, taking advantage of it secretly, asking the people who enter and leave the city gate to pay filial silver, the people will not fight with the officials, even if the city gate guards are not officials, most people will still grit their teeth and be taken advantage of. Spend wealth to eliminate disasters.

As long as the matter is not made a big deal, the higher-ups will basically turn a blind eye to it, so the city gate guard is a relatively fat job.

After the city gate guard finished speaking, he was about to swagger forward to search the food on the cart, and even raised his hand to push away a cook who was blocking the way.

That guy didn't dare to say anything,

He could only look helplessly at the leader of the retinue.

"It's quite solid to the touch... You don't have anyone in charge, answer what is on the car?"

The city gate guard raised his hand and pressed the grain bag. Just by the feel of his hand, he had already guessed what was inside.

But he wants to make a fuss, let the head of the food team take the initiative to send filial money, so naturally he can't let it go, so he made a gesture to pull out the knife from his waist and pierce the grain bag, "I think the people in this car If there is something wrong with something, take it all apart and check it!"

However, he only drew his knife halfway, and a black whip shadow fell from the sky, flung it on his arm, and drew out dripping blood.

"A winkless dog thing."

The leader of the retinue put away his whip coldly, watching the guard rolling on the ground in pain.

When the other common people noticed the change here, they all showed panic, for fear that they would be affected by the whip of the leader of the retinue.

"The food escorted by the Meng family is something you low-spirited dogs can touch?"

With a cold snort, the leader of the retinue yelled "drive" lightly, and the horse obediently stepped forward, making a gesture to go straight into the city.

At this time, the cook in charge of that car saw something, and pulled out the thing that was pressed under the grain bag with some doubts.

This thing...it doesn't seem to be there before, right?

As soon as it was unfolded, a black human head was drawn on the coarse cloth, which startled the guy, and he yelled out, alarming the leader of the retinue in front of the team. He furrowed his brows impatiently, and scolded, "What the hell are you screaming!"

Regardless of the stones on the ground, the cook quickly knelt down, holding the rough cloth with trembling hands.

"Jun, Mr. Jun... It's not that the villain intentionally disturbed Mr. Jun, but this... this ghost thing..."

What the cook was holding caught the attention of the leader of the retinue.

He drove his horse forward, bent down and snatched the coarse cloth that the cook held up high, unfolded it, and his face darkened instantly.

If a guy can't see it, how can he not see it?

The head painted on the rough cloth is clearly their Erlang Lord of the Meng family——Meng Bing!

Even though the charcoal block is rough, it retains the most distinctive features of the characters, allowing people to see who the person is at a glance.

The leader of the retinue clenched his fists and said sharply, "Quickly tell me, where did this thing come from?"

The city gate guard whose arm was crippled by a whip was still rolling on the ground in pain, the cook didn't dare to hide anything, and told the truth.

"If you go back to Lord Jun, I found this thing from under the grain bag. Before, before... but there is no such thing..."

When the cook thought of the human head painted on the coarse cloth, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt uneasy.

"Grain bag?" the leader of the retinue murmured, jumped off the horse, waved away the cook who was blocking the way, went straight to the front of the grain cart, looked carefully, and found a piece of coarse cloth with the same texture, without any painting on it. Human heads, but strange lines.

In an instant, he felt chills in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Everyone check the grain truck to see if there is anything suspicious!"

He was in a state of anxiety, when the city gate guards on duty were reluctant to let him go, and stepped forward one after another, trying to draw their knives.

"Why are you so troublesome, you dare to hurt people in public?"

The leader of the retinue snorted coldly, and said, "Not only do I dare to hurt people, I dare to kill people! If you dare to come here again, I will kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers in charge of escorting the food rushed forward one after another, pointing their guns at the city gate guards, and the two sides were in a confrontation. However, there are only 20 or 30 guards at the city gate, but there are more than 200 soldiers escorting food!

At this time, one to three sheets of coarse cloth of different sizes were found on each grain cart, and it was obvious that they were torn randomly.

Most of the coarse cloth has strange patterns on it, and some coarse cloth has some rough and ugly characters.

With a cold face, the leader of the retinue slowly pieced together the coarse cloth he found, and it turned out to be a picture!

There are some small characters written next to this picture, and the leader of the retinue read it carefully, and his face was completely blue after reading it.

[The delivery is really slow. If you want Meng Ting to survive, send the food to this place quickly, and don't wait when it's overdue. Meng Hunliu, a traitor of the Meng clan. 】

This, this is really extremely arrogant!

The leader of the retinue wanted to tear up all the rough cloth, but he couldn't do it. The words left by Meng Hun were very clear. They needed food very much, and they had to wait patiently. Just a little life is not guaranteed.

If Meng Ting died, he would not be able to live.
