When Wu Penghui heard Zhen Mengde say that he would wipe out all the pawn shopkeepers who sold them stolen goods, he said, "What should we do about these corpses? If we don't bury them, then will we have to wait for the beasts to eat? That's definitely not possible. If someone finds out, it will inevitably be exposed. If this matter is thrust and the wastes in Yanzhou are unwilling to hide it anymore, we will not be able to leave."

Zhen Mengd nodded and said, "I know what you said, and I naturally understand it, but things are about to be revealed. If the shopkeepers don't deal with them in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. Otherwise, we pile up the bodies together and set them on fire. I remember that there were two cans of tincture oil in the cave."

Wu Penghui sighed and said, "Okay, that's all, that's all. We have to move faster and try to get out of the foxtail ditch after dark. We dare not waste time anymore. I'm afraid that the wastes in Yanzhou or Bocheng County will be found. Although we are not afraid of them, being entangled with these wastes is also troublesome."

The father and son immediately moved the body, and even piled up the bodies of the horse's bodies, poured tinder oil on it, then lit the fire and started burning.

Under the reflection of the fire, Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui both looked particularly ferocious. At this time, the two people were truly like two robbers who killed and robbed people.

Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui are both leaders of the horse, but in fact they are not biological father and son.

Decades ago, Zhen Mengde's name was Zhen Bing, and Wu Penghui was not born at that time, but Wu Penghui's father Wu Er was brothers with Zhen Mengde at that time. The two of them had a similar stinking taste, so they kowtowed and bowed to each other and did something like killing and robbing people together.

Because the two of them were ruthless, they also made a big name in Liangshan. However, after a long time, they felt that it seemed like nothing to be a robber for the rest of their lives, so they spent money to find an errand in Bocheng County. So Zhen Mengde transformed from a Xiangma and became a minor official in Bocheng County.

After that, Wu Er and Zhen Mengde found that it was really easy to get rich when they were colluded with officials and bandits. It was much faster than purely when they were born.

As a result, the two of them created various accidents, causing constant bandits around Bocheng County, and the people did not dare to be too far away from the county town, otherwise they would always meet a loud horse.

When the horses in Bocheng County were in full swing, Zhen Mengde took action. Every time he went out to suppress the bandits, he always made a little contribution. His luck was always better than other bandits.

Over time, Zhen Mengde's promotion speed will naturally be far faster than others. The greater the official Zhen Mengde's, the more wealth Wu Er and him will make.

Unfortunately, after some years, Wu Er got rich and fell seriously ill and died without help. Wu Er left a son, which was Wu Penghui.

At that time, Wu Penghui was still young, so Wu Er asked Wu Penghui to recognize Zhen Mengde as his adoptive father. From then on, Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui became father and son.

From then on, Wu Penghui became the leader of the horse, and Zhen Mengde gradually promoted to the position of magistrate of Bocheng County. Until some time ago, Zhen Mengde was inexplicably appointed as the governor of Yanzhou. At this time, Wu Penghui thought that the opportunity had come.

Because Zhen Mengde was able to become a governor, it was actually a scapegoat. As long as it happened in the Fengshan ceremony, the first person in the entire Yanzhou area to be cut off was Zhen Mengde, the governor.

Wu Penghui and Zhen Mengde privately discussed that since the matter had reached this point, although the position of Yanzhou Governor was good, it would definitely not be long. As long as the Fengshan ceremony was over, Zhen Mengde would definitely be kicked away. Instead of doing so, it would be better for them to get a vote and leave, and from then on, they would wash their hands and live the life of a rich man.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, being a lofty horse actually couldn't live a good life of eating meat, drinking wine with big bowls, and dividing gold with big scales. Most lofty horses lived a bitter life, and the lofty horses all wanted to live the life of ordinary people. Of course, the kind of life of ordinary people they thought was the life of rich people, which meant the life of rich people, without worrying about food and clothing, having a house, a field, a wife and a child. If you can't live such a life, then it would be better to be a lofty horse, but if you can live such a life, you would be a lofty boy.

So when Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui made the plan, they just revealed it to their subordinates a few Xiangma leaders and received a positive response. Xiangma leaders were all willing to make such a fortune, and no one opposed it.

Zhen Mengd was careful when doing things. This was related to his mingling in the officialdom for decades. He sent his confidants to Chang'an to give gifts to Helan Minzhi, a famous celebrity in Chang'an. Of course, his confidants could not meet Helan Minzhi. Zhen Mengd also understood this, but he didn't need to really get in touch with Helan Minzhi. He just needed to find out about the matters related to the Fengshan Ceremony.

Unexpectedly, the confidant subordinates sent by Zhen Mengde could not even enter the Duke's Mansion of Helan Minzhi. If he wanted to give gifts, Duke Helan might not be willing to accept it.

Do all the cats and dogs want to give gifts to Duke Helan? It's just as funny. They overestimate themselves. Even if they want to give gifts, they have to depend on the identity of the person who gave the gift. If the status is too low, Helan Minzhi is too lazy to deal with it.

At that time, Zhen Mengde had not officially become the governor of Yanzhou. Because his official documents were always slow, he was just a county magistrate of Bocheng County. It was indeed difficult for a small county magistrate to curry favor with Helan Minzhi, and he might not have many gifts. After all, it was just a throwing stone to ask for directions. Zhen Mengde spent a lot of money, but he refused.

The trusted subordinate sent by Zhen Mengde had to wait in Chang'an, hoping to find an opportunity to enter the Duke's Mansion, but this opportunity was waiting for a long time, which was a waste of time. It was not until Li Rizhi and Helan Minzhi had a conflict that the trusted subordinate sent by Zhen Mengde had the opportunity to send the gift to the Duke's Mansion.

But because the number of gifts was not large, the housekeeper of the Duke's mansion was not the big housekeeper, but an ordinary housekeeper met with his confidant subordinate sent by Zhen Mengde, and he was sent away in a few words.

But in just a few short sentences, my confidant found out what he wanted to know, ran back to Yanzhou and reported the situation to Zhen Mengde.

The news Zhen Mengde wanted was actually very simple, that is, he wanted to determine if he had done a big case at this time, a while before the Fengshan ceremony began, if he had done a big case, then would the government have whitewashed the peace, gritted his teeth and slowed down the case first, so as not to lose face by the emperor and the queen.

Now, Zhen Mengde has received certain news that the government will definitely embellish the peace, and this is certain.
