Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

A series of questions made Jia Queer burst into tears. He sobbed and said, "Third brother, something happened to them."

Li Laosan grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"They were captured by those evil people!"

Li Laosan's head buzzed, and he was extremely angry. He cursed, "What a shameless bunch of bastards! I'm going to fight them. Even if I die today, I'll take a few people with me!"

Li Laosan's eyes were red, and the new and old grudges made him almost crazy.

Jia Que'er didn't expect that the third brother would be so excited. He felt a little scared and worried, and said, "Third brother, they have more people and there are people behind them. We can't beat them.

I heard from an old beggar that the magistrate of Huihai County has been replaced, and the people behind them have some relationship with the new magistrate. You must not be impulsive! "

Jia Que'er felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted telling his third brother about the matter, but if he didn't tell his third brother, who else could he turn to?

Li Laosan felt sad. If the thieves were in collusion with the government, how could they survive?

"No! So what if I'm in the government? So what if I'm powerful? I still only have one life. I'll fight them. At worst, we'll die together. Kill these dogs and beasts and get rid of the harm to the people!"

"Who are you planning to fight to the death with?" The eavesdropping Li Yuer came out from behind the kitchen shed.

Li Laosan's face was gloomy and he stopped talking.

Jia Que'er looked at Li Yu'er. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of oppression from her. This was an intuition he developed after years of hanging around the streets. He had his own way of judging people.

Jia Que'er's shoulders shuddered and he was extremely panicked. If something happened to his third brother, how could he face his family?

He originally came to ask his third brother for help. He thought that since his third brother was able to escape unscathed after provoking that group of people last time, he might have a way to save them.

He had no other choice but to go to his third brother. If he had known that his third brother would be so impulsive, he would not have come.

Third brother had been so good to them in the past, he didn't want to implicate him.

Li Yu'er walked up to the two of them with a cold face. Jia Que'er didn't know why, but he felt a little scared from the bottom of his heart in front of this little girl. She was even scarier than his third brother.

Li Yuer said, "I want to hear what desperate plan Uncle San has. Let me guess. Is he going to steal oil from home and set fire to the thief's house in the middle of the night? Or is he going to steal money from home, buy arsenic from the clinic, and poison the well when it's dark and windy?"

Li Laosan looked at Li Yuer in shock. It was a very cold day, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

How did she guess that? Could she see through people's hearts? She wouldn't be...

As this thought came to his mind, Li Laosan cursed himself in his heart. If it weren't for Li Yuer, this family would still be in debt and miserable, and he would have become an unknown corpse in a mass grave long ago.

He wanted to deny Li Yuer's guess, but he couldn't.

Li Yuer looked at his micro-expression and knew that she was most likely right.

She raised the corners of her mouth and said sarcastically, "If you set a fire, the other party are all adults, they will wake up before the fire starts, and there may be someone on guard, so they can catch you red-handed before you can take action. This will give them an excuse to follow the clues and then our whole family will suffer!"

As Li Yuer spoke, she observed her uncle's expression. When she mentioned implicating her family, her uncle's eyes trembled noticeably.

"That won't work." She shook her head and continued, "If you want to poison someone, you have to go to the clinic to buy poison. The poisons in the clinic are all recorded. Even if you succeed in poisoning the other person, you will be caught in the end, and then your family will be implicated."

At this time, Li Laosan was completely dispirited. He knew that what Li Yuer said was true.

The reality is cruel, and it is not a rumor that the people should not fight against the officials.

"Well, what else can we do? Datou and the others have been arrested. Are we just going to watch them die?"

At this time, Li Laosan was like a trapped beast with nothing to do.

Li Yuer said: "Of course not. All methods are invented by people. There is always a way out. To deal with evil people, we must find their weaknesses."

"You acted impulsively. Even if you rescued the person, the town is so small. Won't they arrest him again?"

"Yes, Third Brother, this girl is right." At this time, Jia Que'er looked at Li Yu'er with admiration and agreed with her well-reasoned analysis.

Li Yuer corrected his awkward address and said, "My name is Li Yuer, and I am your third brother's niece."

The house sparrow cleverly called out, "Hello, Sister Xiaoyuer."

Li Yuer didn't care about his messy and unclear way of addressing people according to their generation. The most urgent thing was to think of a way to save people.

She is not a saint who can save all living beings. She just wants to take care of her small family and do good things within her ability behind the scenes.

But the current situation is there, her third uncle will definitely do his best to save people at all costs. If he is really allowed to rush around like this, in the end it will be all of them who will be implicated.

Moreover, she was planning to open a shop in the town, and the presence of such a gang of evil forces would definitely be a major obstacle.

However, the other party may have a protective umbrella as big as the county magistrate behind him, so it is basically impossible to remove it.

In ancient times, communications were poor and the power of the imperial court was very limited. It could be said that the emperor was far away and the county magistrate was really the local emperor.

They can completely deceive their superiors and subordinates and do whatever they want.

For the common people of this dynasty, a good official was something they could only come across by chance.

Li Yuer said, "As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Do you know what kind of person the prefect is?"

"Mr. Prefect?" Li Laosan shook his head: "I have only been to the town and have never even met the mayor, let alone the county magistrate and the prefect."

Li Laosan looked at Jia Que'er, who also shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. How about I go to the county and ask around?"

"Forget it, it's too late." Li Yuer shook his head.

"Then do you know what they do with the beggars?"

Jia Que Er nodded and said, "Take him to the mines to do hard labor."

"Mine?" Li Yu'er asked, "What mines do we have here?"

Jia Que'er replied, "There is a Yuanbao Mountain to the north of the town. It seems that an iron mine has been discovered in the mountain. The government has sent soldiers to guard it and has recruited people to mine it."

The imperial court had very strict control over the iron mines, which were heavily guarded and ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave.

This matter is too difficult to handle.

Li Yuer thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any noble person in Xinpu Town?"

The sparrow thought hard and said, "Yes! I just came back not long ago, Wan family!"

From Jia Que'er, we learned that the Wan family is the richest family in Haining Prefecture. Master Wan, Wan Shiyao, is the father-in-law of the prefect. When the prefect was still a scholar, Master Wan saw his talent, betrothed his only daughter to him, and continued to sponsor him for the imperial examinations.

At that time, the Wan family was not the richest family in Haining Prefecture, but only the richest family in Xinpu Town. It must be said that Mr. Wan had a good vision. The son-in-law he chose, Xiu Hongxi, went all the way from a scholar to a Jinshi, and was very ambitious.

With Master Wan's immense wealth paving the way for him, Xiu Hongxi's career was very smooth, and he was promoted from a county magistrate to a prefect.

The Wan family also rose in wealth with the promotion of their son-in-law, and their business grew bigger and bigger, until they finally became the richest man in Haining Prefecture.

Xiu Hongxi has been the prefect for many years. If he wants to move up, it will not be possible just by relying on money and political achievements.

Xiu Hongxi was born in a commoner family. After becoming an official, I can't say how honest he was, but in comparison, he was definitely a good official who did his job well.

Although the Wan family has now moved to Haining Prefecture, their ancestral home is still in Xinpu Town, and they return to worship their ancestors every New Year.

The house sparrow described in vivid detail the news he had heard from walking around the streets.

"Sister Xiao Yuer, I heard that not only Mr. Wan and his wife came back to worship their ancestors this time, but also Young Master Jing."

"Who is Young Master Jing?" Li Yuer asked.
