Chapter 187 The Disliked Carp
"Start with Ma Wu? Yu Baoer, you don't want to get rid of Ma Wu, do you? This, this, this." Li Erlang was so shocked that he couldn't continue.
Li Yuer rolled his eyes at him and said, "Ma Wu helped the people in the gambling house to capture so many people and take them to the mines. So many people were tortured to death in the mines. He also helped them to harm so many decent women. He should have died long ago.
However, I have no intention of killing him. Killing him will dirty our hands. He has done many evil things and someone will take care of him.
I plan to use the mawu as bait to lure the snake out of its hole."
Old Man Li said worriedly, "Yu Baoer, those people are desperate criminals. If we go against them, nothing will happen, right?"
Old Madam Cai snorted coldly and said, "It's not that we are against them, it's that they want to force us to death."
Li Yuer silently gave Mrs. Cai a heart-warming gesture. You may not provoke them, but they will covet your things. As long as you are still valuable for them to profit from, they will continue to exploit you.
If your son is strong, they will send him to the mines to do hard labor for them. If your granddaughter is beautiful, they will capture her and rape her.
Li Yuer briefly repeated his countermeasures, and this time, no one objected.
The next day, the weather cleared up. Li Yuer got up early, took the tools for fishing, and went fishing with Naonao and the others.
Li Yuer brought a crab cage this time. She planned to teach Nao Nao and the others how to use the crab cage. Then, the leftover crabs could be made into sauce with the crab roe and crab meat into crab sticks.
"Yu Baoer, is Sister Mei scared?" Nao Nao asked worriedly.
Li Yuer shook her head and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, the Dragon King showed up, otherwise our family would be in trouble. It was thanks to the village chief and the villagers who stopped them yesterday, otherwise my cousin would have been captured by those bad guys."
Nao Nao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're alright. My father said that our two families have a good relationship and we won't stand idly by. Unfortunately, we can't do much to help."
Li Yuer took out a bag of red bean cakes from her bag and gave one to each person.
"This is the red bean cake made by my sister. Everyone, please try it. Thank you for your help all the time."
The children happily took the red bean cakes, which are a delicious thing that they can't eat on weekdays.
Erdan took a bite and said in surprise, "Oh! There's sticky cake inside."
Biaozi broke it in half, then asked Li Yuer for a piece of oil paper. Li Yuer tore the oil paper bag into pieces and gave a piece to each person in need.
I guess they planned to take the other half home to feed their brothers and sisters.
Li Yuer pretended to ask casually: "Do you think Sanmao was really cheated by Ma Wu?"
Erdan nodded immediately and said, "Of course, everyone in the village saw that Sanmao disappeared not long after Ma Wu showed up that day. Who else could it be but him, this bad guy."
Li Yuer added: "Besides bullying the children in the village, what other bad things has he done?"
If we talk about the bad things Ma Wu has done, it would take three days and three nights to finish talking about them.
Biaozi: "He peeked at the widow bathing and hid behind someone's haystack to spy. If the man of that family hadn't found Ma Wu climbing over the wall when he got up at night, who knows what he would have done to the girl after he got in."
Erdan also talked about the bad things Ma Wu had done: "He was also a gambler. When he lost money in the town, he would go home and steal money. He was Uncle Degui's nephew. His own father and mother were both bad people and didn't teach him to be good."
Li Yu'er took note of them one by one in his mind: he was a gambler and a womanizer.
At this time, Li Laosan was taking his men to monitor Ma Wu's whereabouts near the gambling house.
The gambling house has been very low-key these days, not as rampant as before. It should be related to the misfortune of Wu Bapi and his son.
Most of the people who went to Ningzhou Prefecture to file a complaint have already returned. The prefect only kept some key witnesses to assist in the trial of the case. Wu Bapi and his son were also wanted.
At Yunhe Immortal Temple, all the leaders of the Yunhe Gang gathered together.
The temple master Yun Canghe sat at the top and looked at his subordinates with a serious expression.
"Now that Wu Liangcai and his son are missing, what do you think?"
Wang Hu said with a cold look in his eyes: "Brother, Wu Liangcai and his son are ungrateful wolves who can never be tamed. If anything happens to them, it will happen to them. It will save us from having to take action."
Zhao Mang observed the boss's expression calmly. It seemed that the boss was still dreaming of being cleared by Zhao An.
He said tentatively: "Boss, in my opinion, we should strike first. We must find the people before the court, and then invite them to the temple and protect them well to stabilize the opponent for the time being.
Then we can use some tricks to plant an insider in the Ningzhou government office. If the higher-ups mean to abandon Magistrate Wu and his son, we can just kill them directly for all our new and old grudges. After all, they know too many of our secrets. It would be bad if they can't stand the torture and give us up.
If the people behind them can protect them, we will become their benefactors, after all, it is we who provided them with a place to stay when they were in trouble."
Yun Canghe showed a satisfied expression on his face, and Zhao Mang knew that he had made the right move.
Previously, he gave advice to Magistrate Wu and his son, and they staged a drama of the Dragon King getting married, which was supposed to be foolproof. However, who would have expected that the Dragon King would show up, which caused the dissatisfaction of the boss towards him.
Afterwards he sent people to investigate from various angles, but the thunder seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and the same was true for the appearance of the Dragon King, with no trace at all.
At this time, various forces in Huihai County began to secretly search for the whereabouts of the Wu father and son. The situation was turbulent and their whereabouts were unknown.
In Laobie Bay, Li Yuer was teaching Nao Nao and the others how to put down the crab cages.
"Wow! This is a crab cage! It looks like a bird cage." Erdan fiddled with the crab cage curiously.
Li Erlang said: "There are many reef areas in Laobie Bay, and the crab cages are placed in the reef areas at the right place."
He slowly lowered the crab cage in his hand to the bottom of the water with a rope, and tied the other end to a rock on the shore.
Naonao and his friends imitated Li Erlang and put down a few crab cages.
After putting down the crab cages, they started to go fishing.
Li Yuer picked up a few oysters and put them into the bucket.
Nao Nao said, "This thing is very heavy and not valuable. It's better to pick up conch."
When Li Yuer thought of the grilled oysters, tears almost flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she naturally would not throw them away.
"It's okay, I'll pick up a few and try them out, and then let my brother carry them. I'm not tired."
Li Erlang: You really are my sister. You picked up a millstone for me in the middle of the night.
Biaozi and Erdan dragged the net in the puddle and caught a lot of fish.
Erdan casually threw a dace carp back into the water.
Li Yuer quickly spoke up to stop him, "Brother Erdan, why did you throw away the dace carp?"
Erdan explained: "This fish is small and has a lot of bones, so no one likes to eat it."
Li Yuer couldn't help but sigh at the abundance of marine resources in this dynasty. The fat and fragrant dace carp were actually unwanted by people.
"Don't throw it away yet. I'll take it back and try it. Although this fish has a lot of bones, the meat is very fragrant."
Nao Nao thought that Li Yu'er was reluctant to give it up, so he said, "Yu Bao'er, we have plenty of fish. We don't need dace and crucian carp. Their bones are small and dense, and it is difficult to spit them out. They might get stuck in your throat."
Li Yuer knew that he was concerned about her, but she still insisted, "It's okay, I'll take it back and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it to feed the pigs."
"That's fine. I'll listen to you and keep it."
Seeing that Li Yuer insisted, Nao Nao and the others stopped trying to persuade her. It was just a waste of effort after all.
