Chapter 259 Winning over and siding with one another(2/2)
Previously, Marquis Songyang had discussed with him the dispute over the vacancy of the imperial division left by Sun Fuping's death. Unexpectedly, Manager He had actually hooked up with one of the candidates.
Shi Huan's trip was not in vain.

Hong Chenglue knew that if three police officers died in his home, he would soon become a wanted criminal, so he did not dare to poke his head out of the window when he left, for fear of being recognized. After all, there were few people in the town, and all the neighbors knew each other.
I don’t know how Wu Qing and others managed it. Maybe it was because the dead man in his yard had not been found yet. The convoy drove out of Bailu Town smoothly without being inspected the whole time.
Going further north, there are fewer and fewer people on the main road.
After walking four miles, there was an open-air drinking water shed on the roadside.
Most of these sheds were erected beside wells or rivers. Passers-by could drink hot water and sometimes hot tea here, and horses that were tired from walking could drink from the trough, of course, for a fee.
Except for the boy pouring water, there were only three people in the drinking shed now. As soon as Wu Qing's motorcade arrived, they got on their horses and left.
Hong Chenglue actually urged him: "Hurry up and fill the water, we have to catch up with the three people in front."
Wu Qing nodded, went down and drank two bottles of hot water, then urged the coachman to hurry up, hanging leisurely behind the three riders.
After walking another two miles, there was no one else on the road.
Hong Chenglue untied his horse and rode after him.
The three people were discussing the matter of apprehending the criminals. When they heard the rapid sound of hooves, they turned around. The leader was none other than Youyou, surnamed Chen, who had previously executed a boy who had stolen food in the town.
