Chapter 188 Famous fisherman

Without being disturbed by nightmares, and without being on guard against the family, Chu Nanzhi fastened the door latch, and slept very soundly that night.

The next morning, she woke up comfortably, changed her luggage and left the house, feeling the breeze from the mountains and feeling more at ease.

"If you save enough money, build a big yard in the mountains, and hire a few handsome servants to open a few acres of Susukida in the mountains and raise some livestock, then your life will be perfect."

“It’s the traffic that has become a big problem.”

Chu Nanzhi frowned slightly thinking of this, and saw Li Ce striding over.

"Sister-in-law, should we go back to Luyan Port and recruit more people before going to Haikang County?"

Seeing Chu Nanzhi, Li Ce asked worriedly.

"Call for a hand?"

Chu Nanzhi looked at him puzzled.

Li Ce replied naively: "That's right, we can go to County Magistrate Hu, even if we only bring along the group of you brothers under my command, it can give my sister-in-law courage."

"This is not only crossing counties, it has already crossed counties. Without the emperor's will, how can magistrate Hu manage the affairs of Haikang County."

Chu Nanzhi smiled angrily: "We're not going to fight, why bring so many people there."

Li Ce frowned: "But I'm still more worried that I can't protect my sister-in-law alone."

"Don't worry, even if there is something strange behind this case, the people behind the scenes don't dare to do anything to us blatantly, just be careful."

As Chu Nanzhi said, she smiled to herself: "I just went to appeal for the criminals as a lawyer of the Sun family. The county government has only heard of persuading people by reasoning, but I have never heard of it. If you argue too much, you will kill someone."

"Sister Zhi is right."

Listening to the conversation in the diba, Ma Laifu also came up in a hurry, looked at the elegant and clean Chu Nanzhi, and said affectionately: "Sister Zhi, I made beef porridge and rolled a lot of beef patties. Hurry up and wash up, let's eat together, and hurry up after eating."

"Row."

I didn't expect this kid to be so diligent, and he cooked the meal early in the morning.

I hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch water, wash my face and rinse my mouth, and then enjoyed the breakfast made by Ma Laifu with the Ma family. I was afraid that today I would have to walk for a long time on the mountain road, and the food made by Ma Laifu was really delicious, so I couldn’t help but drink a little more. Bowl of porridge, and ate half a piece of pancake.

Before leaving, Ma Laifu deliberately packed a lot of beef patties to eat on the road.

Haikang County is backed by the rolling Duanlong Mountain and the turbulent Lanjiang River, facing the Songhai Sea, and only the south can lead to the outside world.

The transportation is inconvenient and the land is poor. Although it is only separated by a mountain, it is very different from the prosperous Luyan Port.

Led by Ma Laifu, Chu Nanzhi and his party passed through the middle of Broken Dragon Mountain, and then descended the mountain along a path full of thorns.

Everyone was on guard along the way, but what is curious is that they have never encountered even a shadow of a beast along the way.

In the end, Li Ce and Ma Laifu had no choice but to attribute all this to Chu Nanzhi for bringing good luck to everyone.

The group of people hurried forward, waiting for the place where there were people to be seen, it was almost evening, and then they completely relaxed their vigilance.

Walking on the road, Chu Nanzhi looked around at the dilapidated people's livelihood, not to mention tile-roofed houses, not even a few thatched cottages.

Ma Laifu watched her looking around all the way since she came down the mountain, thinking that she had never been to such a barren land, and patiently explained to her: "Most of the people here live on boats, and those who can go ashore and build thatched huts mean that they have to fight." The fish is plentiful, and as for the wealthy landowners who live in tile-roofed houses in the county, most of them rely on exploiting the black-hearted money from fishermen and salt merchants."

When reading books before, Chu Nanzhi had seen the description of the ancient fishing village in the book. Before coming here, she roughly imagined the possible poverty here, but she didn't expect it to be barren and withered like this.

Ma Laifu patiently explained to her, and glanced at Sun Liu's mother and daughter with erratic eyes, and his expression suddenly became more angry:

"If you say that there are many people who can make money in Haikang County, from the officials of the county government to the rogues in the market, but my uncle is a real person, leading the villagers with a radius of tens of miles to fish for a lifetime. , I didn't get half of the money, but I put my own people in, sister Zhi, do you think it's ridiculous?"

Hearing that his sarcasm didn't look like sarcasm, and his compliment didn't look like a compliment, Chu Nanzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

After a moment of silence, she secretly glanced at the gloomy faces of the mother and daughter of the Sun family, and enlightened Ma Laifu: "Laifu, you can't say that about your uncle. Welfare, such a quality is also invaluable.”

"that is."

Sun Liu pouted angrily, and glared at Ma Laifu angrily: "If it weren't for your uncle and the neighbors in the village, you would have been beaten all over the place in Haikang County."

Ma Laifu snorted unconvinced, and saw a group of villagers in the distance surrounding him one after another.

Seeing this group of people, someone shouted loudly from a long distance: "Sister-in-law Liu, why are you and Yan Fang back? Didn't they let you hide in the mountains for a while?"

When Sun Liu saw the people in the village, she first made eye contact with Chu Nanzhi, and excitedly rushed towards the group of people with small steps.

Ms. Sun Liu kindly pulled Chu Nanzhi to introduce to everyone: "This is the detective Mrs. Chu from Luyan Port. This time she came to our county specially to avenge my poor husband."

Hearing this name, those who had heard of it were surprised and began to whisper, while those who hadn't heard of it still maintained an indifferent attitude.

But at this time, there are still people who want to avenge Sun Wuji, and after discussing it quietly, they can't help but look at Chu Nanzhi in awe.

The leader was a bony old man in a short shirt. He bowed his hands respectfully, bowed his waist and said with kindness in his eyes: "I am the Li Zhenghe patriarch of our Sun Family Village. Mrs. Chu can come to file a case for Wu Ji. I am grateful to you all." Endless, follow the old man to the village."

"it is good."

Chu Nanzhi responded softly, and was surrounded by the crowd and rushed to the village.

When we arrived at Sun Wuji's house, Mrs. Sun Liu opened the lock, and everyone was invited to sit down in the hall.

When I was in the mountains, I heard that Sun Wuji was a well-known fisherman in Haikang County. I thought in my mind that the conditions of his family should at least be no worse than that of the Chu family. But after looking around, I found that apart from the four or five shabby cottages in the middle of the fish pond , I could no longer see any other scenery, and then I faintly realized in my heart: the famous fishermen they said were really just famous.

As soon as Chu Nanzhi sat on her buttocks, she saw the neighbors coming in with things in their hands. They looked at her carefully as they walked into the kitchen, shouting, "Sister-in-law Liu, everyone is fine." The tea leaves are ready, we gathered a few eggs over here, he secretly hid two of the fish that had just dried yesterday at Liulang's house, let's use these to entertain guests at night."

Hearing this, Sun Lizheng forced a smile with bitterness on his face and said, "I can only wrong Mrs. Chu to drink some boiled water first."

"Well, I prefer to drink plain water."

Chu Nanzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking of what the villagers said just now, he couldn't help being surprised: "Why do you have to hide the fish you catch secretly?"

"Cough, Mrs. Chu doesn't know something."

Sun Lizheng said with a bitter face: "Since Wu Ji was released from prison, several fishing villages near us have been placed under the control of the Kang family. In recent years, the fishing tax has been very heavy, and the young fish in the fish pond have been unable to catch up. Tax, everyone is desperately out of the water to fish, the fish in the shoals are cleaned up, and the fish in the deep water are hard to catch.

Woogie was able to deal with the county for all of us in the fashion, but now it's a good thing. The Kang family not only has to collect the monthly fishing tax for the county, but also has to pay the rent owed in the past two years. I have to think about saving my life. "

"I see."

Chu Nanzhi silently concealed the indignation gradually rising in her heart, and thought: Isn't this the so-called government coercion and rebellion.
