Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 129 Who am I? You don't deserve to know

Fortunately, his bet was right.

Once, when he climbed over the wall to peek at a young girl bathing, he accidentally witnessed the thug catching a beggar. He hid behind a bamboo pole in the corner and eavesdropped.

I learned that they captured beggars and sent them to work as laborers in mines. I also heard them say that their superiors needed them urgently and there were not enough laborers.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and he gradually forgot about it.

Until that day, when he saw the thug's face, he felt that he looked familiar at first, but after being frightened, he recognized that the thug was the man who caught beggars in the alley.

Later, he helped them come up with a shady plan, which was to bribe a matchmaker and go to a poor rural area to buy a boy.

Those peasants thought that their sons were being sold to wealthy families as servants and were being sent away with just a few taels of silver.

There was a guy named Shitou who was bought by someone halfway, and Lord Long was not very happy about it.

The name Qingzi Lane refers to the women in brothels, that is, prostitutes; and Huazhi Lane refers to beggars. They both belong to the slums in the north of the city, where all kinds of people mix together, and fights often occur, and in serious cases, people can even die.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Ma Wu stared at Li Lao San fiercely and said, "If you know what's good for you, get under my crotch, apologize to me, and compensate me with fifty taels of silver. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The burly man behind Ma Wu stared at Li Laosan and his companions in a joking manner, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Li Laosan's face was gloomy, but his eyes were extremely firm.

He could tell from the look in Ma Wu's eyes that this man was extremely despicable and shameless, and had no credibility at all.

It seems that he can't escape today.

"Big Head, take them away first!"

Shitou immediately put down the cart and stood next to Li Laosan: "I am a servant of the Li family. If my third brother is in trouble, I will not leave."

Although the house sparrow was afraid, it said firmly: "You are my third brother, and I will not leave."

Datou looked at Ma Wu and the others in horror and shouted, "I don't know them! Don't hit me, man! Hit them if you want!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Shitou clenched his fists and said in disappointment, "Coward!"

He looked at Lai Zi, who spread his hands, still looking cynical, and just shook his head, "Everyone has their own aspirations, and you can't force them."

"Hahahaha!" Ma Wu laughed wildly, "Li Laosan, ah Li Laosan! Do you know? A chicken is always a chicken, a pariah is always a pariah, don't you think I don't know? You are just the son of a poor islander, leading a few useless beggars in the town, and you really think you are that great!

Today I will show you what a real gang is!"

Ma Wu looked at Li Laosan viciously and ordered the strong men behind him: "Go!"

As he said this, he took a few steps back and hid behind. That's right, Ma Wu said, "Come on!" instead of "Come on with me!"

Ma Wu still remembers Li Yuer, that loser. He was quite skilled and could beat people painfully. Li Laosan was his third uncle, so maybe he could fight better than that loser.

When the burly man behind Ma Wu passed by Ma Wu, there was contempt and disdain in his eyes.

He really thinks he is the fourth in command. It's just that the first in command needs him temporarily. When he is no longer useful, he will cry. How dare they point fingers at them?

The strong men approached Li Laosan and his companions.

Li Laosan was touched by Shitou's righteousness, but he couldn't bear to see them suffer. As for Datou, he was disappointed but not resentful. At this point, whoever could escape was the best.

The strong men looked at the onlookers unscrupulously, not caring at all whether they would report to the police.

"stop!"

A burly bailiff with a knife on his waist came over with a group of people.

He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a short beard. His sharp eyes swept over both parties, and when his gaze passed by Lai Zi, it paused for a moment.

When he met his gaze, Lai Zi's unchanging ruffian expression instantly cracked, and he turned his head away, not looking at the other person.

"What are you doing? You dare to gather in the street to cause trouble. Do you really think that we are just decorations?"

When he saw Captain Zhong, Ma Wu's expression paused and his eyes avoided, and he was obviously a little timid.

In the past, he often stole things in the town and even peeped at young girls and wives taking a bath. He was caught by the yamen runners and thrown into jail several times.

The prison was smelly and dirty, and there were criminals who were always fighting and being aggressive. If you didn't have money to pay tribute to the jailers, you would have to eat rotten food, drink dirty water, and be beaten.

He was instinctively frightened when he saw the yamen runners.

The sturdy man at the side glanced at Ma Wu with even more contempt in his eyes. But he hated Captain Zhong even more because he was the confidant of the former county magistrate Huangfu Renxin.

The sturdy man said bluntly: "Just teaching a few thieves a lesson."

Ma Wu seemed to have found his backbone and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, they are all thieves!"

Jia Queer immediately pointed at the other party angrily and shouted: "He is talking nonsense, we are not thieves!"

Li Laosan turned around and saluted to Captain Zhong, saying, "Your Excellency, we have never stolen anything from them!"

Ma Wu immediately retorted: "Where did you, a few stinking beggars and a few poor islanders, get the money to buy so many things? It's obvious that you stole them."

As if he had caught Li Laosan and the others, he put his hands on his waist and shamelessly recounted the crimes of several people to the onlookers: "Don't you remember Li Laosan? He was a gangster in the town before."

Someone recognized Jia Que'er and the others as beggars in the town, and they started shouting, "Yes, him! And him! They are all beggars from the land temple in the north of the city. He is the skinny and small one who stole buns from my bun shop."

A man with pockmarks all over his face, baring his big yellow teeth, pointed at Lai Zi and said, "This guy is a little hooligan. Not only does he fight, he also often stops kids in the alleys and extorts money."

After saying that, he quickly shrank into the crowd, fearing that he would be recognized by acquaintances.

Someone immediately recognized Lai Zi and said indignantly, "Yes, it's him! He also stole my son's wooden horse and knocked out one of his teeth!"

Then the crowd burst into waves of condemnation, and all kinds of vicious words shot towards Li Laosan and his companions like cold knives, wishing to pierce them full of holes.

The house sparrow lowered its head in shame, while Lai Zi stiffened his neck and said nothing, his eyes full of despair.

"Enough!" A clear voice of a little girl interrupted the discussion of the onlookers.

The voice was crisp and decisive, with unquestionable firmness. For some reason, the noisy crowd was actually silenced by this not-too-loud shout, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

"Make way! Please make way!" Datou used all his strength to clear a path and finally brought Li Yuer to the middle of the crowd.

Li Yu'er didn't even look at Ma Wu, he just bowed to Captain Zhong and said, "I am their boss, I gave them the money."

"You?" A strange voice questioned from the crowd, "Who are you? A little girl, and you're the boss? Who would believe that?"

The crowd began to buzz again, but the noise was much quieter.

Li Yuer's sharp eyes quickly swept through the crowd and locked onto a middle-aged man with pockmarks on his face and a mouth full of yellow teeth.

He was as thin as a walking skeleton, with a face full of pits and pockmarks like the fragmented Loess Plateau, a mouth full of uneven yellow buck teeth, and a look like a wild boar spirit, but he also had a pair of bulging eyes like a cow.

He's like a monster, he doesn't do anything human and he doesn't speak human language.

Li Yuer stunned everyone with just one sentence, "You are not worthy of knowing who I am!"
