Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 244: Case of Magistrate Wu and his Son Closed

Mr. Hu San didn't expect that the one who made the decision was the girl in front of him. He was wrong.

The tea came and Li Yuer poured a cup for Mr. Hu San himself.

"Try it, Master San. This is Li Ji's exclusive scented tea. It's refreshing and nourishing."

"Oh? If it has such miraculous effects, I must try it."

Mr. Hu San took a sip and said, "Not bad! It has a floral scent, sweet but not greasy."

Li Yuer said slowly: "To be honest, if most people get this pulley, they can't put it together even if they take it apart."

As Li Yuer spoke, she quietly observed Mr. Hu's expression. Sure enough, the other person's demeanor changed slightly.

From his micro-expressions, Li Yuer knew that he had sent people to steal the pulley before.

However, she didn't show it on her face, and Mr. Hu San was even more calm.

"I see. He is truly a skilled craftsman."

Li Yuer continued, "The pulley can be given to you for free, but we also have a small request."

Mr. Hu was shocked. He never expected that a little fisher girl could be so courageous as to negotiate with him.

He investigated the Li family and found out that they were native residents of Rabbit Island.

"tell me the story."

Li Yuer poured him more tea.

"We want to take advantage of the Hu family's favorable winds."

A fierce look flashed across Mr. Hu San's eyes. "Little girl, do you know that the goods carried by the Hu family's merchant ships are all designated?"

Li Yuer raised a smile on her lips, but naturally did not believe what he said.

Last time, I accidentally saw him transporting grain to the north. It can be seen that Mr. Hu’s goods are not just the Hu family’s fixed goods.

He has his own private line.

"Mr. Hu San, we won't use your flight path for free. We'll pay a share, 10%, how about that?"

Mr. Hu Sanye turned the teacup in his hand slightly, "Are you binding me with interests? Then won't I have to bear the risk of income?"

"Don't worry, Third Master. If we don't make money, we will stop doing it ourselves."

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, but Mr. Hu Sanye put forward several conditions: they had to inspect the goods, if the profit was not enough, they would not take it, and they would decide how much to take.

The risks at sea are enormous, not to mention the various natural risks, there is also piracy.

The Li family did not have their own route and could only give up their lives.

The first batch of goods that Mr. Hu San took out were shell jewelry.

Huihai County already has imitations, but other places don’t have any yet.

After Li's business stabilized, all the new employees had already taken up their posts, and Li Laoer and his colleagues could finally relax.

Old Mrs. Cai and Old Man Li returned to the island and brought a lot of daily necessities to the Zhao family. She mentioned the matter of Li Erlang and Zhao Yanyan in a vague way.

Zhao Changgeng only has one daughter, Zhao Yanyan, so naturally he has to ask for her opinion first.

Zhao Yanyan blushed immediately and said, "I will listen to my father."

Zhao Changgeng laughed, knowing that his daughter was willing.

Marrying the person who saved your life is also a good story of a hero saving a beauty.

Both families had this intention, and soon, Old Mrs. Cai invited a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the marriage between the two families was settled.

The days passed in an uneventful manner. Suddenly, good news came from the capital: Magistrate Wu's case had been sentenced.

Not only were he charged with corruption, harming the people and colluding with pirates, but he was also charged with impersonating an imperial official.

"Have you heard? That Wu Liangcai was not the original county magistrate at all. The county magistrate was a Jinshi named Chen Ping. It's really scary. He was killed by Wu Liangcai in collusion with pirates."

In the lobby of Li Ji, the thing diners talked about most these days was Wu Liangcai.

"So the old saying goes, one person doesn't enter a temple, two people don't look into a well, and three people don't lift a tree."

It turned out that after Chen Ping got the document to take office, he took the wrong road. There happened to be a Taoist temple on the way, so he went in to stay the night.

Unfortunately, the Taoist temple where he stayed was the Yunhe Xianguan, the base of the pirate Yunhe Gang. The unscrupulous businessman Wu Liangcai colluded with the Yunhe Gang. Wu Liangcai used the excuse of cooperation to lure merchants passing by. The Yunhe Gang ambushed and robbed them, and then the two sides divided the spoils.

When Wu Liangcai learned that Chen Ping was the incoming county magistrate, he became evil-minded and conspired with the pirates in the temple to kill Chen Ping and throw him into a dry well. Then he disguised himself as Chen Ping and took up the post in Huihai County.

After taking office, he was afraid that Chen Ping's relatives would come looking for him, so he changed his name to Wu Liangcai.

Such a big thing could not be accomplished by Wu Liangcai alone, so he even bribed the officials above him.

At that time, the eldest prince born to the imperial concubine and the crown prince born to the empress were competing for the throne. After the iron mine was discovered in Huihai County, the two sides began to compete for it. In the end, the imperial concubine framed the crown prince and was punished by the emperor.

But they were smart and did not give the mining rights of the iron ore directly to their cronies. Instead, they supported Wu Liangcai and his son, and used the Chen Ping incident as a handle to force Wu Liangcai to become their puppet.

It would be best if nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong, Wu Liangcai can be held responsible.

After Wu Liangcai arrived in Huihai County, he relied on the power behind him to plunder the people. He also secretly mined iron ore to make weapons for the eldest prince.

County Magistrate Wei had been investigating these matters and had quietly handed over the evidence, along with the petition to the old county magistrate in the capital, and then to the emperor.

Since the prince's gang had such a big handle on the eldest prince, they would naturally not miss the opportunity to bring him down.

Therefore, the court once again started a competition with Magistrate Wu's case as the trigger.

In the end, the eldest prince's party was defeated, and naturally, Magistrate Wu and his son would not have a good ending either.

A diner said: "Have you heard that Wu Liangcai was arrested this morning in a cave? Early in the morning, someone threw a piece of paper into the county government office with the whereabouts of Wu Liangcai and his son written on it."

"I heard that someone seemed to have locked him up in a dungeon in the cave. The scene was horrible. Wu Liangcai and his son tried to snatch food, and Wu Liangcai actually killed his own son."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how vicious."

"Wu Liangcai will be executed tomorrow. This evil ghost is finally going to die. It's a pity for the talented scholar Chen Ping."

"I heard that his body has been salvaged, and the pirates in Yunhe Xianguan have also been uprooted. It seems that they are the people from the newly opened gambling house. They confessed to colluding with Magistrate Wu, and they will be executed together tomorrow."

"Bah! They deserve it! These beasts have harmed so many innocent people, they deserve to die!"

"Wei County Magistrate is dedicated to the people. Now he has become our father and mother official. The people have hope for their future."

"Yes, yes! Have you seen the government's notice? This year's taxes have been reduced by 30%."

"Really? That's great! I will bring this good news back to the village later."

……

On the day when Magistrate Wu and the pirate were beheaded, most of the people in Huihai County went to the execution ground to watch. Many of the victims' families burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed towards the capital, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

After the case of County Magistrate Wu ended, the Zhao family moved out of Rabbit Island and returned to their old location, planning to rebuild their house.

Zhao Changsheng, the owner of the New Zhaoji Noodle House, knelt down in front of Mr. Zhao and said, "Dad! I'm sorry!"

Zhao Sixi is the father of Zhao Changsheng and Zhao Changgeng. Zhao Sixi and Liu Qiaomei were childhood sweethearts. Zhao Sixi was conscripted into the army and the news of his death came back. Liu Qiaomei married his cousin Zhao Shouxiang, who opened a noodle shop. The couple ran the small noodle shop and lived a good life.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sixi did not die but came back alive. Liu Qiaomei was already married and living a good life. Zhao Sixi had no choice but to marry Wen Huihui under the arrangement of his family.

Wen Huihui died after giving birth to Zhao Changsheng. Later, Zhao Sixi and Liu Qiaomei got married and gave birth to another son, Zhao Changgeng.
