Chapter 73 Turning Point
The moonlight was invaded by gray clouds, so it was not clear.

Meng Heyin and Mingrong maintained the previous state, and there was a silent stalemate between the two.

The lights in the front yard gradually turned on, and those not bright but very dazzling lights were reflected in Meng Heyin's eyes one by one, revealing the waves in her eyes.

Ming Rong remained silent.

They are very clear to each other that this situation is not hopeless.As long as Ming Rong is willing to take on one of these things, it is not difficult to do the other with Meng Heyin's ability.It's just that Mingrong has no reason to help her.

Although Meng Heyin's threats to Mingrong several times before seemed to be very effective, Mingrong could not get involved from the beginning, because Meng Heyin's so-called threats could not really threaten him.Maybe Mingrong was only out of a playful attitude, and it was also known from the past that he was even happy to see the danger of Qiongzhou City.

Meng Heyin, who knew this well, never thought of speaking to Mingrong.

Ming Rong didn't mention it either, maybe it's their inexplicable tacit understanding.

It seems like a long time, but in fact it is only a few short moments.

Meng Heyin clenched his fist with his right hand, smashed the air hard, and then turned around quickly.

At this moment, another accident suddenly happened outside!
"Suddenly urgent, officers and soldiers are on duty!"

"Idle people waiting, give way quickly!"

Meng Heyin was startled, only to see the flames outside.

Looking around, she saw a large group of officers and soldiers in hard armor coming from the west of the city.Their movements were in unison, and the feet of hundreds of people stepped on the floor firmly and powerfully, as if even the ground was shaken by it.

This group of officers and soldiers came with great momentum.

The master heard the voices of the officers and soldiers to disperse the crowd, and he didn't know why these officers and soldiers came here.But one thing is certain, no matter what the reason for these officers and soldiers to come here, the county government cannot kill these people as soon as the door is opened!
The master was very nervous, and hurriedly said to the guards: "Put away your weapons, put away your weapons! Don't act rashly!"

The guards all put away their weapons. Although they were still waiting in front of the gate, they were not as murderous as before.

A crisis was resolved, and Meng Heyin took a breath.

As long as officers and soldiers come, even if they are not officers and soldiers of Qiongzhou City, they will not harm the people of Qiongzhou City.After all, these people did not murder and set fire, they just came to the county government office to seek peace of mind.

Since there is nothing serious here...

Meng Heyin turned his head to look at the neatly lit houses in the backyard, showing a determined smile.

Ming Rong let go of his heart, and stretched out his hand to Meng Heyin with a serious expression.

Meng Heyin put his hand up flatly.

After the stalemate just now, although the time was very short, there was more or less a gap between the two of them.The ambiguity that seemed to exist before all disappeared in the gap of this night.

Ming Rong embraced Meng Heyin, found the right position and jumped neatly.

In front of the county yamen, a pair of officers and soldiers dispersed the surrounding people to the surrounding area, and another group of officers and soldiers surrounded the people who had smashed into the door together.

The big leader walked in front of the crowd, perhaps because of the blessing of the armor on his body, he looked very tall, strong, and extremely majestic.

"What's going on? Why did you guys gather to make trouble and make noise at the county magistrate's mansion?"

Seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding them, the common people around the gate had long been afraid. Now they saw a leader who looked like a man asking them, and they became even more nervous.

The few people who had the most fun bumping into the door with the pillars just now were like silent sparrows, not daring to take a breath, and only wanted to shirk their responsibilities.

Seeing that they didn't answer, the big leader repeated the question again with an emphatic tone.

"I ask you, why are you making such a fuss here!?"

The big leader was also angry. He originally brought people to the county government office to report, but when he was halfway there, he found a lot of movement on the other side.Worried that something might happen, he sent his subordinates to investigate, and the subordinates reported that there were a large number of bandits making trouble, not only that, but they also wanted to attack the county government immediately.

At that time, the chieftain was very flustered.They were originally officers and soldiers of Yangcheng, but they were only sent to Qiongzhou because of a letter from the magistrate of Qiongzhou asking for help.On the way, he was worried about the number of bandits, but when he arrived, he realized that Qiongzhou was too weak.Since I took over, there have been no major problems in the city.

Seeing that they were about to discuss a specific plan to drive out the bandits, who knew that the bandits had already entered the city first!And he didn't even know where those bandits came from!
The big leader at that time was really scared. He didn't know the specific situation of the bandits, so he hurried back and brought all the officers and soldiers he brought.Turning around and calling up the staff again, this wasted so much time.

Only when I got closer did I realize that it was a group of people making trouble in the middle of the night!

If you don't sleep well at night, why are you making trouble on the street! !
The big leader was very disappointed with the people of Qiongzhou City, and thought of the oolong that he had judged wrong just now, he felt very ashamed, he just wished that the subordinate who delivered the wrong news would get a hundred army sticks!
Of course, those common people didn't know the chief's inner activities, and they all shrank their necks and refused to speak because they thought it was because they hit the county government's door.

Seeing this, the big leader glanced at him.

We all know that sometimes a silent threat is more frightening than a yell.

Someone really couldn't stand the big leader's questioning gaze, knelt down and shouted.

"It's none of our business! It's bandits! Bandits set fire to the city, and they want to burn us to death!"

Someone hit the head, and the rest of the people also reacted, and some knelt down and said: "Grandpa officer and soldier! Help us!"

"Save us..."

The people who were dispersed also said, "Save us!"

For a moment, the audience was full of people crying for help.

Hearing the word "Bandit", the chief's blood vessels thumped.He thought of the movement in Kuding Lane tonight, the troublemakers have not been caught yet.

Could it be that the news is true, that bandits are really making trouble in the city?
The alarm bell rang in the chief's mind, and he hurriedly said: "What's going on, let's talk about it in detail, don't miss every single bit!"

A few people look at me and I look at you. Finally, everyone appointed a clear-cut person to answer.

The man took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak.

"About an hour ago, a house in Jufang suddenly caught fire. At that time, a watchman happened to be nearby. When he went to check, he happened to see a few big men fleeing from the yard, and they were yelling to fire at the whole city. Killing."

"Master Meng organized everyone to fight the fire, and then found the note left by the bandits..."

"Afterwards, we spontaneously gathered together and came to the county government office to report the situation to Mr. Xue, but there was no response from the county government office. We thought we were invaded by mountain bandits, so we came up with a bad plan and found a pillar to hit the door."

After hearing this, the big leader stretched out his hand: "Where's the note?"

Those who were close hurriedly submitted it, and the big leader looked at it, frowning together: "You asked for help, but there was no response from the county government?"

"Yes!"

The chief looked at the closed door and pursed his lips slightly.

"Come on..."

Before the chief had finished speaking, the door creaked.

When no one expected it, the door opened.
