Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

When they arrived at the town gate, they saw several burly men blocking the road at the entrance.

One of them was holding a portrait in his hand and was grabbing a man by the collar, staring at his face ferociously.

"No! Get out!"

The sturdy man pushed the person away, and the latter staggered. Several carrots in the basket rolled to the ground. He didn't dare to make a sound, but picked up the carrots and ran away in fear.

At this moment, not many people enter the town, but many people leave the town.

Seeing several people stopping them, they were all in a hurry and were unwilling to stop for fear of getting into trouble.

These people didn't know who they were looking for, but looking at their posture, it was clear that it was not a good thing, and everyone was afraid of being caught by mistake.

A passerby nearby murmured to his companion in dissatisfaction: "Who are these people? How dare they block the road unreasonably."

His companion said, "Hush, keep your voice down, brother. You haven't been to the town for a while. I wonder if the situation in Huihai County has changed.

Be more careful with your words in the future. We started investigating yesterday. Although they are not government officials, they are more powerful than government officials. I am afraid that there are people backing them up. We cannot afford to offend them."

Another passerby interrupted and said, "This brother is right. You should calm down and be patient. Yesterday, a scholar couldn't stand their behavior and went up to argue with them. He was arrested by the yamen runners and thrown into the county jail on the charge of causing trouble in the street. In the morning, he was thrown out of the yamen gate in front of the whole county. He was beaten to a pulp.

Even if he doesn't die, his skin will be peeled off and his face will be disfigured. I guess he won't be able to take the imperial examinations in the future. I'm afraid his life is ruined."

"Hey, how come such a local tyrant came to such a remote place like ours? I really miss the former county magistrate. How could he leave so suddenly?"

"I really don't understand. Why did Wu Yanei come to our Xinpu Town instead of staying in Huihai County to enjoy his life? I really hope they leave soon."

Soon it was their turn to enter the city, and the people did not dare to continue talking for fear of being heard.

They didn't check Li Yu'er and the others, probably because they felt they obviously didn't match the people in the portraits.

When Li Yuer saw the face of one of the burly men, he was obviously stunned for a moment and recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this the guard who followed Wu Yanei yesterday?

The reason why Li Yuer was so impressed by him was because when Wu Yanei gave her the banknotes that day, the greed in this man's eyes was the strongest.

Although Li Yuer and the others disguised themselves that day and smeared mugwort juice on their faces and bodies, it is still better to be safe than sorry. Being cautious is the only way to save your life.

Li Yuer pulled Li Erlang aside and whispered, "It's Wu Yanei's people."

Li Erlang was startled, and held Li Yuer's hand back, carefully trying to get between Li Laosan and the others.

"Hey! There are still fresh fish in this season! Great! I'm destined to have a treat today." The guard casually scooped up a real sea bream from the bucket and threw it directly into the basket on their carriage. There were also a lot of vegetables and dried goods in the basket. It was obvious that they were robbed from passers-by.

Biaozi wanted to step forward to reason, but Nao Nao grabbed his hand and whispered, "Calm down, we ordinary people can't afford to offend you."

Li Erlang was relieved to see that they didn't catch any big fish. Fortunately, Li Yuer was thoughtful and asked to move the buckets containing big fish to the middle. Also, the buckets containing big fish had the most water, so it was impossible to tell what was inside from the outside.

Erdan glanced at the bucket in the middle from time to time, and this small action attracted the attention of a strong man.

He walked over, drew his sword, and was about to poke it into the bucket in the middle.

Nao Nao and his friends immediately became anxious because there was a magical fish, the cat shark, in there!

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Nao Nao suddenly interrupted the strong man's actions, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Nao Nao was also extremely nervous at this time, but he tried his best to look calm.

Li Yuer was so brave. He dared to fight with the village hooligans Ma Wu and Sanmao, and dared to do business with the waiters of the No. 1 restaurant in the town. As a boy, how could he be inferior to a girl?

He couldn't always hide behind Li Yuer and rely on a little girl to lead him.

He calmed himself down and said, "Sir, I am the younger brother of the clerk. I am going to the town to hire a carriage to go to the county town to deliver fish to him."

"Clerk? Which clerk?" Zhuang Han asked in a bad tone.

Nao Nao said, "He is a clerk in the household registration department of the county government."

The sturdy man glanced at Nao Nao and whispered to his companion beside him: "Why don't we just forget it? After all, we are not from the county government. If we make a big fuss, the adults may not stand on our side."

Seeing that things were turning around, Nao Nao took the initiative to catch a large yellow croaker, tied the gills with straw ropes, and handed it to the two men, saying with a smile, "We are all working for the higher-ups, and you adults are also considered family. If you two adults don't mind this large yellow croaker, you can take it as a snack. I'll tell my brother later."

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, if they didn't give face, they would break the rules of the sect.

The strong man took the big yellow croaker and said, "Look, since we are all family, why should we be polite?"

Although he said this, his hands were not polite at all.

"Let them go!" the sturdy man ordered his men to make way.

Li Yuer and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, finally they had gotten away with it.

Li Erlang ran to Nao Nao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nao Nao, is your brother really a clerk?"

Naonao nodded, finally feeling a little relaxed. He looked at Li Yuer, who gave him a thumbs up and nodded with a smile to show her praise.

Nao Nao was extremely happy and grinned as he answered Li Erlang: "Well, my brother is a clerk, a civil servant with no real power, in charge of household registration."

"That's pretty cool!" Li Erlang said happily, "I didn't expect you to be so well hidden. It turns out you are the official's younger brother!"

Erdan puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, our brother Naonao is very capable, but he just doesn't want to bother with those people."

Li Yuer said at the right time: "In the future, we should not use the name of Big Brother Naonao to do things outside and cause trouble for others."

Li Erlang immediately assured him, "I know. We are not relatives of the clerk, so how dare we do that?"

Naonao looked at Li Yuer and said, "It's not impossible. If Yubaoer encounters any difficulties, that's fine..."

Just then, Li Laosan said, "Here we are, Jiaqueer, knock on the door quickly."

After what happened just now, Li Laosan felt it would be safer to ship the goods out early.

The servant who opened the door was the same one from yesterday. He had received a reward for the large cargo, so when he saw Li Yuer and his companions, who were followed by two trucks of cargo, he naturally smiled and let them into the backyard.

This time, Li Yuer asked someone to notify Manager Qian.

Manager Qian and Lai Fu came over quickly. The large amount of goods he brought yesterday helped him to appease a picky rich boy and brought great honor to Nongchaolou.

When he saw Li Yuer and his companions, as well as the two trucks of goods behind them, Shopkeeper Qian smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I thought Yu Baoer had forgotten about my uncle. Could it be that he met a new uncle from some restaurant with your brother and Third Uncle?"

Shopkeeper Qian made joking remarks and became even closer to the Li family.

Li Yuer smiled and said, "How can that be possible? We are so close. In Yu Baoer's heart, no one can surpass Uncle Qian."

The smile on Manager Qian's face became even more genuine.

Li Laosan knew that Manager Qian had helped him last time, so he was very grateful and said, "Uncle Qian, we have a lot of big stuff this time, and a magical fish."

Although Li Laosan shouldn't call Shopkeeper Qian uncle, as this would make him different in generation from Li Erlang and Li Yuer, he didn't want to call Shopkeeper Qian too old, so he simply called him Uncle Qian.

"Divine fish?" Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up. He didn't care about such a trivial matter as the name.

To be called a sacred fish, it must not only be rare but also have good meaning.

Li Laosan began to unload the goods, and others came forward to help. Li Erlang rushed ahead of Li Laosan and put the bucket containing the magical fish in front of Manager Qian.

Li Yuer handed over a scoop net. Li Erlang scooped it carefully and saw a golden fish wagging its tail in the scoop net. When the sun shone on it, it really sparkled with golden light.

Shopkeeper Qian was extremely surprised and praised immediately: "It is really a divine fish, shining with golden light, good luck and prosperity!"

After saying this, Qian's eyes flashed with pity again, and he ordered Lai Fu, "Quick! Ask someone to clear out a water tank and put this magical fish in it alone! Use sea water, don't mix fresh water with salt."

"Oh!" Lai Fu was so happy that he quickly went to tell the kitchen helpers to do something, fearing that anything might happen to the magical fish.

"This fish comes at the right time. The Wan family is in need of such an auspicious item for the ancestor worship!" Shopkeeper Qian stared at the golden cat shark with joy in his eyes.
