Chapter 151 Big Mao, 2 Mao, and 3 Mao are missing
In order to be summoned to the imperial court, Yun Canghe had already lost several of his brothers at the hands of Magistrate Wu and his son for unknown reasons.
Recently, he sent two brothers to rob women for Wu Yanei. As a result, County Magistrate Wu said that they had abducted the women and ran away. Of course, he didn't believe it. He secretly investigated and found a burned cave. A corpse was dug out from the ground at the entrance of Shandong. The corpse was burned by fire and only a skeleton was left. It was impossible to recognize who it was. However, there was Heizi's gold ring in the burial pit. It was a relic left to him by his mother, and he never took it off.
It was obvious that Magistrate Wu was afraid that they would reveal the secret, so he killed them to silence them.
Although Heizi was a pirate who raped, plundered and killed people without blinking an eye, he was very filial to his mother. Of course, if it weren't for the famine, he would not have killed his mother to fill his stomach.
So the one whose body was destroyed was Heizi, but the body had been burned to a skeleton. Even if he was confronted at his door, Magistrate Wu would not admit it, but would instead bite back.
Sooner or later, Yun Canghe will avenge this grudge.
A few days ago, County Magistrate Wu asked the bailiffs to search everywhere with Scar Qiang's portrait. He also secretly sent people to search, but there was no news at all.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, Scar Qiang's body was hung on a pine tree in Yunhe Temple.
Who is the other party? How could he know his secret hiding place? And why did he hang Scar Qiang's body in Yunhe Xian Temple?
Just when Yun Canghe was panicking, his men found a note on Scar Qiang's body: After the mission is accomplished, he will be charged as a bandit and his head will be taken to add to the military merit.
Yun Canghe's face changed drastically, and he ordered his men: "Go and get me a copy of the correspondence between Wu Liangcai and me."
To be on the safe side, he did not burn all the letters they exchanged as Wu Liangcai requested, but hid them secretly.
After his men took the letter, Yun Canghe compared the two letters and found the handwriting was exactly the same. Anger and resentment surged in his heart like a raging storm. His eyes were red and he shouted, "Wu Liangcai, you old beast who has usurped the throne, do you really think I don't have any evidence against you? It turns out that Qiangzi didn't run away secretly, but he knew about the conspiracy of Wu Liangcai and his son and was silenced."
He Yilong, the banker of the new gambling house, Long Ye, narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, is there a trick here? Is someone trying to deliberately provoke a quarrel between us?"
Yun Canghe suppressed his anger and said, "Then let's test the old thief Wu and see if what is written in the letter is true."
He Yilong said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Brother, leave this matter to me. If that old thief really intends to cross the river and destroy the bridge, we will never let him off easily. Does the old man really think that no one knows that he has taken over the magpie's nest."
Li Yuer and her friends did not return to the island immediately, but went to Fushui Village. They did not go to Cai's house. Married girls cannot go home before the first day of the new year. This is a custom passed down from their ancestors.
They went straight to the village chief's house to find Nao Nao. When Nao Nao saw Li Yu'er peeking at the door, he dropped his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.
"What's wrong with this kid?" The village chief's wife said angrily, pouring the remaining meat from Nao Nao into her own bowl. "Even meat can't hold his heart."
The village chief also saw the shadow of a child passing by the door, shook his head and said, "Let him go, he is at the age of playing wildly, and we can't control him."
When Naonao saw Li Yuer and Li Erlang, he said happily, "Happy New Year! Why are you two here?"
Li Yuer replied "Okay" and got straight to the point: "Are you guys going to the beach recently? We need seafood, the more the better."
Naonao was surprised and asked, "Have you finished eating what I gave you last time?"
Li Yuer shook his head and briefly recounted the story of their stall.
Nao Nao was even more surprised, but at the same time, he was happy for them, "Yu Bao'er, Er Lang, you guys are amazing. You set up the stall so quickly."
"From now on, please give us all the things you catch at the sea. We will accept them all." Li Yuer said generously.
"That's great. Since your business is so good, we can go fishing tomorrow. It will only take an hour."
Li Yuer likes to say things upfront and make everything clear in advance.
"Our price for seafood is not as high as Nongchaolou's, but we won't treat you unfairly. Except for fish, we will give you two cents per pound of seafood in winter. Is that ok?
The fish are valuable, so you sell them to Nongchaolou. I guess Nongchaolou won’t buy the miscellaneous fish after the New Year. You can sell them to me, and I’ll still charge you two cents per pound.
When the sea opens, the price will drop, but it will definitely not be lower than the market price. Do you think it’s okay?”
Nao Nao said, "Okay, of course, you are giving us a long-term profitable business. Thank you, Yu Baoer, Brother Erlang."
Li Erlang imitated Li Laosan, patted Nao Nao on the shoulder and said, "Why are you being polite? We are all good brothers. When you are at home, you rely on your parents. When you go out, you rely on your brothers."
Nao Nao said with emotion: "Yes, we are good brothers and good friends. Will you guys go fishing again in the future?"
Li Yuer said, "Come, of course you can. It's so fun to go to the sea. It's so boring to just sit by the sea and not go to the sea. But it depends on whether we are busy or not. If we are not busy, we will invite you to go to the sea."
Nao Nao said happily: "If you want to go fishing, remember to invite us."
Li Erlang said, "What's the point of making an appointment? We are on the island now. It would be a lot of trouble to come out and inform you. We can calculate the tides. If we want to go, we can go directly to Lao Bie Bay. It's a small place. We can meet at Lao Bie Bay when the time comes."
Nao Nao scratched his head and said, "That's right, it will be fine when your family moves to the village."
Li Erlang suddenly remembered Erdan's words and asked Nao Nao, "Do you know that the three Maos are missing?"
Speaking of this, Nao Nao's face turned pale and he said, "Someone seemed to have seen Ma Wu sneaking back to the village yesterday evening. Not long after Ma Wu showed up, Grandma Sun said that Sanmao disappeared after Ma Wu showed up. Everyone speculated that Sanmao was cheated away by Ma Wu."
Li Erlang remembered what his uncle said about the Cai family breaking off the engagement, so he asked, "Didn't Granny Sun make a scene?"
"Why didn't she make a scene? She went to Ma Wu's foster parents, his actual uncle's house, and made a scene several times. Uncle Shen is not someone who can be bullied easily. In the end, the clan leader and my father stepped in, and Grandma Sun didn't dare to make a scene.
My father sent people to search the entire area, but there was no sign of them.
However, a villager provided a clue that the three Maos seemed to have left the village with someone carrying a backpack.
So, my father asked them to go directly to the county government office to report the case after the New Year."
After Li Yuer and his sister left, Naonao went to inform Biaozi and Erdan. They were worried that seafood would not be so easy to sell after the New Year, and now Li Yuer and his friends came to bring them business.
The brother and sister hurried back. Li Erlang felt a little uneasy and asked, "Where do you think Ma Wu took the three Maos?"
Li Yuer actually had a guess in his mind, "I think it's a mine."
"A mine?" Li Erlang couldn't believe it. "Ma Wu is so brave. He tricked a boy from the same village into going to the mine. That's human trafficking. If he's caught by the government, he'll be beheaded."
Li Yu'er looked at him coldly and said, "Why do you think they kidnapped people so blatantly? The first time was when they lied to me at the dock.
The second time was to catch beggars on the street. The third time was to go to various villages and ask traffickers to buy young boys from poor families.”
When he thought of the possibility, Li Erlang's palms were full of cold sweat.
