258 The Way Forward
Not long after, Wang Fuqi brought two people from the inner courtyard to the vestibule.

The vestibule is the open space behind the gate.Because the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, the vestibule of Wang Fuqi's house is relatively luxurious. In the rural area, the style here is very high.

And the fishermen of Chengwei Village, who have been to Wang Fuqi's house many times, are already familiar with the way and put the fish baskets in the front yard, waiting for the owner to come out to inspect the goods.

Wang Fuqi is actually not very old, only in his 30s.This person is tall and slender, with a sharp and thin face, and he is wearing a royal blue brocade robe dangling like a bamboo pole.Generally speaking, this is a bad image of a born villain.

After bringing the two rogues to the vestibule, Wang Fuqi saw that it was Yu Chengde, and he couldn't help laughing: "Old Yu, you took your daughter with your front foot, and you got out of the hole with your back foot. I don’t believe it when I go to sea, I’m afraid I didn’t hide your wife’s knowledge and lived in Deyuelou for a few days? Haha!”

As soon as Wang Fuqi finished speaking, the gangsters around him immediately burst into laughter.But Yu Chengde, who was being teased, did not move at the moment, his red face remained calm.After standing there in a daze for a while, he saw that the rogues beside him stopped laughing, so he stared at Wang Fuqi and asked, "All the fish that went out to sea are here, where is the third sister?" ?”

"Fortunately for your family, the little servant girl is still locked in the back room." Wang Fuqi first took a puff of a copper pipe in his hand, and then said leisurely: "However, you can make a lot of salted fish. .Old Yu, the third sister paid for the 13 taels of silver, we folks in the village, you can't let me lose too much, can you?"

"If it's not enough, I'll bring a family heirloom."

"A family heirloom? This is going to be an eye-opener!" Wang Fuqi narrowed his eyes when he heard these four words, and he regained his energy.

And Yu Chengde didn't talk nonsense at this time, he took two steps forward, pulled out the army thorn on his lower back while walking, and then easily and effortlessly inserted the general thorn into Wang Fuqi's left rib .

Yu Chengde's knife was premeditated for a long time, so he didn't use too much force, and he quickly pulled out the knife.

However, Wang Fuqi couldn't even speak at this time: he was in a state of bleeding after his liver was punctured, but the bayonet did not hurt the vital parts of the heart, so Wang Fuqi not only survived, but was still alive and kicking. The wound rolled on the ground - he probably had five more minutes to live.

At the moment Chengde drew his sword, the six fishermen behind him also picked up the fish at the same time. In the basket, there was only a layer of salted fish on the surface, and the bottom was empty, with knives and axes.

After drawing out their knives and axes, the ragged fishermen greeted their opponents with their dicks without hesitation.In the circle of thugs around him, five of them were knocked down in the first breath, and when the remaining three reacted, the second knife had already been slashed.

But after Yu Chengde stabbed Wang Fuqi, he let the guy roll on the ground, but he stepped over the other person's body without stopping, and walked straight to the backyard.

People like Wang Fuqi are essentially civil servants.

Unlike those old landlords who live together with clans and have dozens or hundreds of farmers under their hands, Wang Fuqi's kind is based on the system.Leaving the skin of the system, or in other words, when the opponent no longer obeys the system, the shortcomings of people like them are exposed: they have no hard power.

If it were any courtyard owned by the landlord Lao Cai, Yu Chengde and the others would never be able to walk out of the gate after they had finished pretending to be aggressive today.However, Wang Fuqi's family can do it: just like those bullying yamen servants on weekdays, they are ordinary office workers without official skins, and there are not hundreds of people around them to protect them at any time.

The scene was chaotic.A group of hooligans known as the social brothers of Shuixiu Town were cut down by the fishermen who bullied and scolded them on weekdays.At the same time, Yu Chengde also stepped into the gate of the Second Court.

After stabbing the oncoming servant to death, Yu Chengde continued to walk inside while shouting "Sanmei, Daddy is looking for you!"At this time, the family members of the Wang family who heard him shouting also rushed out of the house.

Seeing a fat middle-aged woman in red and green coming out of the main room, Yu Chengde rushed forward without saying a word and stabbed her.Before the little maid who witnessed the tragedy opened her mouth to scream, a bloody army thorn was placed on her neck: "Say, where is the captured woman locked up?"

The little girl was also a wonderful person. She first pointed at the door of the wing with trembling fingers, then rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

At this moment, four fishermen who had cleaned up the rogues also ran in from the outer courtyard.When Yu Chengde saw them, he pointed to his nephew and shouted: "Follow me when you get out of the water, you guys go to the main room to find money!"

The door of the wing room was kicked open with a bang, and the Yu family and father rushed in.After entering the room, I took a closer look and found that my daughter had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, her hands were tied behind the foot of the bed, and she was looking at them with tears in her eyes, whining incessantly.

Sanmei is a typical fisherman's girl, with a round face, big eyes, and wheat-colored skin.She is the youngest child of the Yu family, who is only 15 years old now.There is no such thing as a girl's family name, and she has been called Sanmei since she was a child.

Since Wang Fuqi's original plan was to sell the third sister to the brothel in the town, the little girl didn't suffer much after being arrested-if a person is beaten, her "look" will be bad, and she will be killed by the old bustard. Bargain.

After Yu Chengde broke into the house, he tore off the cloth strips from Sanmei's mouth, then cut the ropes on her hands and feet, and helped his crying daughter onto Yu Chushui's back. The girl can only walk away on someone's back.

After rushing out of the wing room, while protecting his nephew, Yu Chengde yelled twice to the main room, signaling to the people inside to stop making trouble and run away as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, when the three of them came to the gate, two fishermen with calico bags on their backs followed.At the same time, according to the plan that had been discussed in advance, the people who had broken the queen also set fire to the back house of Wang Fuqi's family.

After resting at the gate for a while, when the broken boy came running, the seven people shouted in unison, and rushed out of the gate of Wang Fuqi's house accompanied by blood all over their bodies and black smoke from the back house.

On the dilapidated wooden pier in Chengwei Village, two unanchored fishing boats were anxiously waiting to return home.

According to the plan in advance, all the old and weak in the village are now concentrated on the bigger herring: once Yu Chengde and the others do not return, the monkey will be responsible for bringing Sibao and others to the big ones. It can be regarded as a gift for old Yu After staying at home.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as an absolute path.When the old and the weak waited until six o'clock in the afternoon, a young man who was ambushing at the entrance of the village finally ran back dancing and said, "Uncle Yu and the others are back!"

Soon after, the two ships set sail with a clear purpose: to arrive at Cormorant Island before dark.
