Li Zhe knocked on the door of Lin Xing's small courtyard.

He Qi quickly came over and opened the door: "Boss, you're here! We were just about to tell you something!"

"What's the matter?"

He Qi: "Boss, we've already let Lin Xing infiltrate the Huang residence as you instructed last time. He's now a guard in the residence."

"He learned from the mansion that whenever Master Huang's addiction to Five-Stone Powder flared up, the servant Yang Hu would appear. At first, they would just meet at the Flower Pavilion, but now Yang Hu has become Master Huang's honored guest."

"It is said that they will be having dinner at Wild Game Restaurant tonight, and some other wealthy people from Qingshui Town, like Master Huang, will also be there."

After listening, Li Zhe sat and pondered for a moment. What exactly was Yu Ming's purpose? Why did he have to target Master Huang? And if they were to meet at the Wild Game Pavilion tonight, did he intend to get these people addicted to Five Stone Powder as well?

Regardless of his purpose, I must disrupt their gathering today. If these people also get addicted to Five Stone Powder, wouldn't that be equivalent to them providing Yu Ming with a large amount of money?

If Yu Ming uses the Five-Stone Powder to control people and cultivate it for him, then the entire Qingshui Town will likely be under his control.

A glint of light flashed in Li Zhe's eyes. This might just be his guess, but he couldn't let his guard down. The population of Qingshui Town was still quite large.

It would be terrible if the Five-Stone Powder spread to the prefectural city.

"He Qi, you two go and get ready. We'll go to Wild Game Pavilion tonight. If Yu Ming shows up, we'll take them all down in one fell swoop."

"Yes."

Peach Blossom Village

When Li Mo woke up, she didn't see Li Zhe. She asked Yin Baicai, who was cooking, "Mom, where's Uncle?"

"Little devil, you've become such a lazybones! You didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. Your uncle has gone to town."

Seeing that Li Mo was clearly still half asleep, Yin Baicai said, "Go wash your face and come have breakfast."

Li Mo obediently washed her face and then went to look at the little rabbits in the bamboo basket next to the livestock shed.

Yin Baicai brought Li Mo's breakfast to him: "Little Mo, eat your breakfast quickly. You can feed the rabbit after you finish eating."

After finishing breakfast and throwing a lot of hay for the rabbit, Li Mo went back to her room to read her book.

After finishing breakfast together, Yin Baicai and Li Mo went to buy groceries as usual.

When he returned, he was stopped by the villagers.

"Brother Cai, I heard that the bully Li has hunted a sika deer! Take us to see it!"

"Li Zhe carried it to town and sold it. You're too late."

A middle-aged man said sourly, "That bully Li is really lucky. He hunted a big wild boar first, and now he's hunted a sika deer. Wutong Mountain belongs to our village. He's making a fortune in silence and has forgotten about us villagers. If you ask me, we're in on the same boat, aren't we?"

Another person, equally envious, chimed in: "That's right, Li Zhe hunted it on Wutong Mountain in our village. Shouldn't we get a share of the profits from selling it? If we hadn't given him the opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to hunt it."

Even the people next to them couldn't stand what the two were saying anymore and stood far away from them.

Yin Baicai was so angry at the two of them that she laughed. Just how thick-skinned did they have to be to say such things!

That's really shameless.

"Hey, Liu Fulang and Wan Shi, where do you get the nerve to say such things? Although Wutong Mountain belongs to Peach Blossom Village, Li Zhe risked his life to hunt there. What are you so sour about? If you want to make big money, go hunt in the mountains yourselves."

"It's absolutely hilarious. He even had the nerve to say he should share some with you. Let me ask you, what village rule says that game hunted in the mountains belongs to everyone?"

"Instead of wasting your time staring at the two coins in someone else's pocket, you might as well go and earn them yourself. You still have the nerve to say that? If you're so capable, come with me to the village chief and have a word with him!"

Liu Fulang and Wan Shi blushed with embarrassment at Yin Baicai's blunt words.

But he still shouted loudly, "You scoundrel, how dare you talk about us? You're just greedy for Li the bully's money. Otherwise, how could a poor guy like you afford to build such a big house!"

Madam Wan began to smear Yin Baicai: "That's right, you haven't even married into the family yet, and you're already spending their money. Who's more shameless here!"

Yin Baicai sneered: "What's wrong? Are you jealous? Li the bully is good to me and built me ​​a big house. Isn't it because I, Yin Baicai, have good taste that I chose a better man than you?"

"If you're so capable, get your men to build you a big house! Or find a new man who can build you a big house!" She finished speaking and glanced at the two of them.

The people around were trying not to laugh; Cai Ge'er's words were a complete slap on their faces!

Everyone knows that Liu Fulang is a widow who lost her husband at a young age, and that he is also immoral and has affairs with people in the village.

This isn't just hearsay; many villagers saw it, and some men even left his house before dawn.

This matter has already spread far and wide.

Needless to say, this Wan woman married a lazy, good-for-nothing man and let her mother-in-law run the household.

She was always dominated by her mother-in-law, and her husband never took her side.

Over time, he developed a habit of complaining about his own hardships and was known throughout the village for being unable to bear seeing others do well.

Feeling utterly ashamed, the two fled in panic, hearing the sneers of those around them.

As Yin Baicai watched the two walk away, she mentally gave them the middle finger. "Little trash, is this all the fighting power you have?"

I haven't had enough of yelling yet!

Carrying the vegetables he had bought, Yin Baicai left without hearing the comments the people behind him made about him.

"This guy Cai'er's tongue is even sharper than Wang Huanhua's!"

"Yeah! Look at him, he used to be so quiet, but now when he speaks, he just goes right to the heart!"

"We'd better avoid provoking him in the future. I've heard that if pushed to the limit, he can kill people."

When Yin Baicai got home, she went to Li Mo's room to check on him first. "Little Mo, your reading skills are amazing! You can recognize so many characters now!"

Li Mo grabbed Yin Baicai's hand and pointed to the small ice bucket on the table: "Mom, the ice has melted."

It's hot now, so Yin Baicai put a bucket of ice in Li Mo's room to cool him down.

Seeing how much ice had melted in just a short time, Yin Baicai thought to herself: Luckily I know how to make ice, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand all this!

"Wait for me to replace your bucket!"

Yin Baicai poured out the melted water and brought Li Mo a new bucket of ice.

It will be lunchtime soon.

Li Mo had already arrived at the kitchen to help Yin Baicai.

Like a little glutinous rice ball, Yin Baicai sat in front of the stove adding firewood, while stir-frying vegetables next to the big iron pot.

Both of them had cloth bags filled with ice hanging around their necks.

Yin Baicai even specially found tung oil and made it into the shape of an oiled paper umbrella, so that even if the ice melted, the water wouldn't drip into her neck.

Just as Yin Baicai put the food on the table, Ge Tian and the others came over.

Ge Wen asked curiously, "Brother Cai, I heard that Li Zhe hunted a deer. Come and show us!"
