Chapter 1640 The dagger saved her life
Meng Yuncheng walked in a hurry, and the further he walked, the more frightened he became.
There had obviously been a battle here. There were blood stains on the pillars on the floor and walls, there were burnt marks on the corners, and there was a handkerchief dropped by a woman on the verandah, as well as two broken wooden sticks.
The escort office was quiet. Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng looked at each other, and the four of them walked towards the backyard.
However, there was no one along the way. Several rooms were in chaos, and some looked like they had not been touched.
However, there was no rice, flour, grain, or oil in the kitchen, so it was most likely that someone had put it away.
After searching around and finding no one, the four of them gathered together again.
"Where did they go?"
The Meng Family Escort Agency should be prepared. After all, Meng Pei came to Chenggu County more than a month ago, and he knew very well that he had to prepare a way out. Although the entire Escort Agency was in a mess, it was unlikely that everyone would be in trouble.
Meng Yuncheng thought for a moment and said, "Follow me."
He led the way and explained as he walked towards the woodshed, "My father said that there is a secret passage over there, and inside the secret passage is a secret room. If it is used as a retreat, that place is the most suitable.
"
This secret room of the Meng family was passed down from Meng Pei's grandfather, and only the head of the bodyguard who was chosen as the bodyguard knew about it.
The Meng family's escort agency was quite famous in the early years. It was one of the best not only in Chenggu County but also in the entire Changjin Mansion. Therefore, the business was very good at the beginning, and some of the escorts had some priceless things.
The old man of the Meng family built this secret room specifically to preserve those things so that they would not be coveted and stolen.
However, the Meng family later experienced a series of changes. The old man of the Meng family was betrayed by his best brother, and most of the bodyguards left. Later, when the bodyguard bureau spread to Meng Pei’s father’s generation, because of his early death, so
Meng Pei, who was still young, took over.
Some senior uncles were not convinced, and a few set up their own businesses.
Meng Pei was capable and gradually supported the escort agency. However, for Song Xin's safety, he soon left Chenggu County and went to Tianning County to open a branch escort agency and stayed there for ten years.
As a result, he was discovered by Gong Qiu, and he hid for many years.
It was quite difficult for Uncle Meng to take over at the beginning, but he gradually got on the right track.
However, the Meng family's escort bureau gradually declined after so many changes. The value of the escorts it received was limited, so there was no need to store them in the secret room.
Therefore, the Meng family's secret room has not been used for a long time.
But the head of the Meng family knew about it. Meng Pei told Uncle Meng when he handed over the escort agency here.
As for the others, I don't know.
Meng Yunzheng knew it because Meng Pei mentioned it when they were discussing their options before leaving.
Since there was a ready place to hide, Meng Yunzheng was not so worried and allowed Meng Pei to leave.
"There is no one in the Meng family. I think everyone is in there." Even if not everyone is there, at least some of them are there.
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and followed him quickly to the woodshed.
At this time, there was indeed a group of people nesting in the secret passage under the woodshed, but all of them looked very pale.
Meng Han sat on the ground with his hands around his knees, his whole person was depressed.
She held the dagger that Meng Yunzheng gave her tightly in her hand and smiled bitterly.
She never expected that the weapon she thought would be ineffective would actually save her life.
