The middle-aged man nicknamed "Monkey" is also from Chengwei Village. This person was outgoing since he was a child, unwilling to fish, and when he became an adult, he often went out to make a living, leaving his wife to suffer in the village.

Fortunately, there are only about 10 households in Chengwei Village. Although it is a mixed place with many surnames, the hard life of the two villagers has long been twisted into a rope, and if they do not support each other, no one will be able to survive in the face of various natural disasters and disasters.

In this way, the monkey became the "well-informed" of the village.

He has been running around for businessmen all the year round, and at the end of each year, he will always bring some silver back to see the old lady, and then blow a cow to the closed villagers, so that they can feel the outside world.

Unlike previous years, the monkey broke the routine not long ago, and suddenly came back, knowing that it was still early before the end of the year. As soon as he returned to the village, he found Yu Chengde, the village's spokesman.

Generally speaking, it is the white-bearded old man and the village chief Grandpa Ba who comes forward to deal with the grain service of various officials in Chengwei Village; However, Yu Chengde, who actually controls the whole village, is the real backbone.

As soon as the monkey saw Yu Chengde, he danced and described the situation of his recent trip to Dayuan Port in Qianzhou to sell goods. In short, in addition to shaving his hair, he can be fed and clothed when he goes to the big office, get rid of the sea of suffering, and walk to the peak of life without running.

These beautiful stories are naturally unbelievable to Chengde. The world is as black as a crow, and even if the king on the other side of the sea lacks people to cultivate at the moment, he is afraid that he has no good intentions behind his back, and he still understands this truth wherever he goes.

However, the monkey, who has regarded Chengde as an authority since childhood, did not buy it this time. Not only does he scoff at someone's stereotypes, but he also tries to continue to brainwash the boss. In the middle of this, he was running around the village, clamoring to take his wife to the fairy

There were a few young people who were so moved by him that they were fooled.

Seeing this situation, Yu Chengde also had a headache, so he finally compromised. The two sides agreed that after the group returned from fishing, the village would send someone to send the monkey and his wife to Dayuan first, and then wait for the "observer" to come back to report the situation, and then the rest of the people would make a decision.

However, things are unpredictable. What Yu Chengde didn't expect was that after he returned from fishing today, he didn't need to be urged by the monkey anymore, he himself took the initiative to mention it.

Monkeys are naturally not stupid. The front foot Yu Chengde stewed the pigs and chickens in the village, and the back foot secretly asked him about the big man, which made it clear that he wanted to run away

After thinking about the cause and effect, the monkey solemnly said to Chengde, "Uncle, what my nephew said is true, if there is a lie, so that I can't die well, the life of the old lady and the whole village is here, and the nephew dares to talk nonsense."

Yu Chengde nodded slowly, at this moment, he made up his mind.

In fact, he didn't have a choice. The great joy brought by 1,000 silver and the sudden shocking bad news have completely penetrated the old man's moral bottom line like ice and fire.

As the saying goes, wine is a bold man. Yu Chengde was not a coward in the first place, not to mention that now he has 1,000 taels of silver and a utopia that are more powerful than fine wine. Now that the conditions are all in place, then he naturally went berserk, and now he wants to resign from Daming and no longer be obedient to the old man.

After discussing it with the monkeys, when they returned to the village, they found that the pigs and chickens had been cooked, and they were waiting for the feast to begin. After a full meal with everyone seemingly laughing, Yu Chengde opened the only pot of local brew in the village and served a bowl to all the young people.

After drinking in unison, Yu Chengde shouted "Lao Tzu is not dry" and smashed the coarse porcelain bowl on the muddy ground under his feet.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Yu Chengde said loudly, "The brothers get up early and are greedy for darkness and go to sea to fight for their lives, just to support their families." And now that the government is even more than one, we are trying our best to support it. ”

When Yu Chengde said this, he smashed a punch on the table, "I don't want Wang Fuqi that dog is still stabbing us in the back, let's talk about it, even if I redeem the third sister with silver today, with that dog here, can we still go to sea with peace of mind in the future?"

With Yu Chengde's angry words, the people in the courtyard felt the same way, and their faces were full of anger.

"Uncle, you can't be cheap Wang Fuqi, that dog, if you want me to say, let's snatch the third sister back" With the monkey's next shout, everyone who was already full of anger suddenly found an outlet and echoed loudly.

After Yu Chengde glanced at the courtyard, the next moment he said slowly, "There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master." Since everyone can't survive, Suo went to Chalgau to vote for the king of Cao, the son of Nalaosh, regardless of what he did over there, it was probably better than this Ming Dynasty."

Seeing a group of young people praising him one after another, Yu Chengde first nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly took out the military thorn from his back waist and stuck it on the table, "People go to settle the accounts, brothers, there must be someone to reimburse anyone who has the courage to follow me to slaughter Wang Fuqi's dog."

"Go Together"

"Go Together"

In this day and age, when all the young people have decided on something, women and children have no right to express any objections. They can only go with the flow, pinning their fate entirely on the men.

After unifying his thoughts, Yu Chengde immediately began to give orders.

The first is to clean up your belongings. The women would make dry food from the little brown rice that was left in the village, and then each family would pack up one or two more parcels, and it would be over. Yes, the barren fishing village is so pitiful, these people have nothing but two packages with dry rations and rags.

At the same time, Yu Chengde picked out 6 Ding Zhuang from the village. These are all familiar hands who have been running with him all the year round, and they have also fought with bandits in Pingli, and they dare to see blood under their hands.

At this time, those few knives and axes fished from the bottom of the sea came in handy. The weapons used by the Zheng family are naturally first-class, and they can be used to kill people after polishing them.

There are two broken fishing boats in the village, one large and one small. After Yu Chengde made the arrangements, he sent the remaining few people and a lame carpenter to the fishing boat to do temporary reinforcement and repair. In the middle of this, he kicked his leaping son and drove him back to the boat.

When everyone was busy preparing, Yu Chengde called his nephew Yu Chushui, and the two came to a cemetery outside the village one after the other. The owner of this cemetery is Yu Chengde's eldest brother, Yu Chushui's father, and Yu Chengen's tomb.

In fact, Yu Chengde also went out to do "business" when he was young. Back then, he and his eldest brother Yu Chengen joined the pirate gang and went to do the business of robbing houses and houses. Who would have thought that it didn't take long for the eldest brother to be injured in a firefight, and soon after the two returned to Chengwei Village, Yu Chengen died of festering wounds.

Before the death of the eldest brother, Yu Chengde once promised in front of the eldest brother that he would raise his nephew as an adult, and never do that hurtful deed, which is the most fundamental reason why Yu Chengde has followed the rules all these years.

"Kowtow to your father, and when the future is good, let's come back and move the grave" Yu Chushui knelt in response and kowtowed to the tombstone 9 times.

Yu Chengde also kowtowed to his eldest brother three times, and then he explained the world in front of the grave, and honest people can't survive. Yu Chushui is now an adult, but he can't even marry a daughter-in-law, and everyone can't do it without a knife.

After going to the grave, the two returned to the village with a murderous face.

In this day and age, even the most conformist fishermen do not lack the courage to kill, without which they do not want to go to sea.

The reason why people endure injustice is because they are afraid of the government's prestige for hundreds of years. And if this accumulation of power is reduced due to the weakness of the government, then the original defenders of the system will suffer a backlash.

Wang Fuqi is an example.

Wang Fuqi is not a good man who can carry the crown, he is just a fisherman. This person relied on his brother to be the inspector of the county, so he bought an errand for a fish pen in the county office.

The fish pen is the fish tooth, which is no different from the human teeth in the human market, and they all rely on the monopoly rights granted by the system. Wang Fuqi has seven or eight playful idlers under his command, and Pingli specializes in bullying and dominating the market, lending money, but all the nearby fishermen who want to go to the town to sell fish must be peeled off a layer of skin by this guy first.

And Yu Chengde's village is small and weak, and he is naturally not bullied by Wang Fuqi at ordinary times. In fact, the so-called arrears that robbed the third sister were all bought by Wang Fuqi from others, and they were turned from a few dollars of silver to 13 taels of silver.

Starting from Chengwei Village, Chengtou Village is the northbound seven or eight miles of road, and then more than five miles northbound is Shuixiu Town, the largest trade market in the vicinity.

Yu Chengde and his group of 7 people began to prepare in the afternoon, and did not set off to Chengtou Village until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This time is calculated, Wang Fuqi is a native of Chengtou Village, usually at this point in time, the collection of Shuixiu Town has been dispersed, and Wang Fuqi has returned from the town.

Seven fishermen with hats and salted fish, under the watchful eyes of the villagers, lined up in a straight line and silently walked up the dirt road at the entrance of the village.

It took less than an hour for 7 people to arrive at the entrance of Chengtou Village. After resting for a while at the entrance of the village, the seven people picked up the "full" fish load again, and went straight to the courtyard tile house at the end of Chengtou Village.

There are hundreds of households in Chengtou Village, which is much larger than Chengwei Village. And Wang Fuqi's two-entry house is located alone at the end of the village, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidated houses in the distance.

Seeing a group of people carrying fish burdens coming to the door, a few splashes squatting in front of the blue brick gate were accustomed to sending people to report this kind of scene of carrying fish to the door, they had seen too much, and they were all poor ghosts who came to pay rent and pay debts.
