Chapter 319: Ringing Horse's Good Wishes
Originally, Zhen Mengde and Wu Wenhui's original plan had a way out, which meant that if their plan to make a fortune did not succeed, they could still retreat to Liangshan and then become the leader of the horse.
But when they got more and more money in Bocheng County, and the money came very easily, they only needed to pay the face saint, and then rank, whoever ranked first, who had to pay more, as soon as the news was released, the money poured into their arms like a landslide and tsunami, and they couldn't stop it.
Is it important to face the saint?
Do rankings matter?
In fact, for outsiders, none of these things seem to be particularly important, of course they are still important, but they are not so important.
But watching the excitement is watching the excitement, which is one mood, but once you get involved, then it's another mood.
Those landlords and old wealthymen are usually very picky, and they are very stingy about their long-term workers, and they are as stingy as they want, but when they enter the bureau of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui, they can't stop if they want to. Because as soon as they stop, others will run ahead of them, which means that their early investment is in vain.
Therefore, the landlords and old fortunes are all red-eyed and desperately squeezing forward, so they can only pay more money to Wu Penghui, which is equivalent to falling into the big pit dug by Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui, and they will not be able to get up if they fall.
At the beginning, Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui just wanted to get a vote ruthlessly, at least to the extent that they had to take advantage of the family and get rich, so that after they washed their hands, they could be guaranteed for the rest of their lives.
But they didn't expect that this Noodle Saint Ranking would be so popular, and soon the money they got exceeded 10,000 guan, then more than 20,000 guan, then more than 30,000 guan, and finally ran towards 40,000 guan.
Zhen Mengde and Wu Wenhui were almost stunned, they never thought that they would get so much money.
Fortunately, when they planned in advance, they planned how to sell the stolen goods very carefully, and Zhen Mengde took action to sell the stolen goods to several pawnshops in Yanzhou City, and things went smoothly.
But the more things went smoothly and the more money was made, Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui's thoughts were different from the beginning.
If there is less money, they have nothing to be reluctant to, but there is so much money, and it doesn't matter, it is a lie, and they will also feel distressed, and when they find out that the government will definitely whitewash the peace and will not immediately pursue it, the idea of killing people and destroying their mouths is formed in their hearts.
Anyway, the people they want to exterminate are ringing horses, as long as they dispose of all the ringing horses under their hands, the government will definitely not pursue them, after all, even if they run which ringing horses don't matter much, after all, the ringing horses will not go to report to the officials.
Until now, the only flaw in the plan of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui is that Zhen Mengde killed a few pawnshop shopkeepers, and those pawnshop shopkeepers are all rich people, and they are all related and have backgrounds, so will there be some trouble, so that Wu Penghui and Zhen Mengde cannot escape smoothly, there are some variables in this.
After Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui finished disposing of the corpses of the horses, the two of them took out a few large wooden boxes from the cave, moved them to the carriage, and loaded two carriages.
Zhen Mengde said: "Be careful, there are jewels and antiques here, even if the jewelry is forgotten, the antiques are very valuable, and they can be regarded as family heirlooms!" ”
Wu Penghui said: "Heirloom, okay, I didn't expect that we also have heirlooms." ”
Zhen Mengde also nodded solemnly and said: "In the past, how could I have thought that people like us could also have family heirlooms, and our generation will forget it, and when the next generation comes, we must let them study and study more, so that they can go to the imperial examination and become a real official!" ”
Wu Penghui said with a smile: "I hope that future generations can become generals, it's not interesting to take the imperial examination as an official or something, like that Wu Penghui, after being caught by me, he doesn't have any fart skills, he will be reasonable, damn it, and Xiangma reasoned, I don't know if there is something wrong with his head, he must be stupid to read, and dare to talk back to me, and in the end it wasn't for me to cut him off with a knife, so it's useless to just read, and you have to have hard work under your hands." ”
Zhen Mengde said with a smile: "As long as we can live a good life, there will be many descendants, half of the descendants will let them be civil officials, and half of the descendants will let them be military generals, and both civil and military will support each other, and they will become more and more prosperous." ”
Xiangma Wu Penghui is naturally not the Jinshi Wu Penghui who could have been the county magistrate of Bocheng County, but the two of them happen to be surnamed Wu.
Zhen Mengde has no descendants, he accepted Wu Penghui as his adopted son, and the descendants he said are naturally Wu Penghui's descendants, and the two have actually become one.
The two of them laughed when they said they were happy, and they drove the carriage together, and they were about to go outside the foxtail ditch.
In a dense forest, Cheng Zizai looked coldly at Wu Penghui and Zhen Mengde in the distance, a little far away, what the two people were saying, Cheng Zizi didn't know what he was hearing, but the two of them laughed happily, there was no doubt about this, even if they were far away, they knew what the two of them were doing.
After Cheng Zizi took the two strong men into the fox tail ditch, it was easy to find the location of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui, which was very easy to find, because these two people were carrying boxes in the cave at that time, and the movement was quite big, and it was difficult to find them both.
At that time, Cheng Zizi didn't take any action, just observing Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui, wanting to see if they had any other helpers, but the two strong men he brought in were very flustered.
Although these two strong men are also known for their courage in ordinary times, after all, they are just brave people such as street fighters or country bullies, and it has never been a problem to bully honest people, but they have never seen anything really murderous.
A strong man pointed to the place where the black smoke was billowing not far away, and asked Cheng Zizi in a trembling tone: "Official, you see, it seems that something is burning over there, it can't be a corpse, right?" ”
The other strong man had a terrifying expression on his face, and he seemed to have a tendency to scream at any moment, then turn around and run.
Cheng Zizi waved his hand and said to the two strong men: "Don't panic, it's not burning the body, it's just that Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui want to set fire to the mountain and cover up the evidence of their crime." ”
The strong man who spoke before said again: "What kind of evidence, can't it be a corpse, it ...... from the smell."
Cheng Zizi glared at him fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "How is it from the taste, what can you judge from the taste?" You've burned corpses, are you trying to tell me that? ”
