Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Thinking about it, he put the Bull Horn Shrimp into the new fishing basket he had prepared, which was woven on the spot using a double-layer structure, very sturdy, so even the Bull Horn Shrimp could absolutely not pierce through, yet the drawback was also clear, that is, the double-layer structure reduced the internal space, allowing only one Bull Horn Shrimp to be placed inside.

However, this was enough.

After all, capturing one Bull Horn Shrimp was much more appropriate than capturing a hundred other fish.

Having realized this, Xiao Hu looked around to see no one had noticed, then he directly paddled away, having achieved his goal.

…

Xiantao Town, at Yu Family’s banquet.

At this moment, the feast had already started, and the villagers had all received their portions of pork and were extremely happy, but the atmosphere at the main table was quite eerie.

Everyone just sat there not moving their chopsticks, staring at each other, and remained silent.

After Chen Jie mentioned he did not eat pork, Wu Zhong also stated he did not eat pork, and neither did Wu Hong; Li Sanding, following the Manager’s lead, also abstained. As such, Yu Biao’s entire pork feast had ground to a halt.

With Wu Zhong abstaining, the other landlords also felt it improper to start eating.

Yet, Yu Biao ate with great enjoyment, as if the pork was a delicacy of this world.

Some of the landlords started eating pork too upon seeing this, but others who were closer with the Fishing Guild did not move their chopsticks, like those from Xiantao Village, for instance, the Li Family.

Xiantao Village was Wu Zhong’s stronghold, hence the Li Family was aligned with Wu Zhong.

For a time, both sides fell into a bizarre ritual of picking sides.

Chen Jie didn’t eat, but he kept observing his surroundings until he saw a child waving a red cloth at the street corner.

A slight smile formed on his lips.

That was the signal he and Xiao Hu had agreed upon—if they succeeded at the Mianshui River, they would be ready to withdraw.

After all, at such a banquet, where no one is good and no banquet is innocent, there was nothing worth consuming.

Thus, Chen Jie gave Wu Zhong a meaningful look, and once Wu Zhong saw it, he understood it was time to leave and stood up to say, “Brother Yu!”

Yu Biao turned towards Wu Zhong.

“We have eaten our fill and will take our leave now.”

“Ah, Brother Wu, why the hurry? Could it be that you are not feeling well?”

Brother Wu said, “No, I am in very good health; it’s just that I have some trivial matters at home. We will meet again at the Land Officer Competition.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Biao laughed heartily, “Alright then, see you at the Land Officer Competition.”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Chen Jie, “Jiu Si, shall we also meet at the Land Officer Competition?”

Chen Jie responded with a slight smile, “Sure!”

After this, both parties ceased talking. However, their eyes conveyed mutual understanding.

Wu Zhong and his party left.

Yu Biao’s gaze turned dark and sinister as he watched the few departing men, with a murderous aura enveloping him.

At that moment, the housekeeper approached and asked, “Master, can you confirm it?”

Yu Biao nodded slightly, “Almost certain, San Liu was killed by that Chen Jiu Si!”

Hearing this, the housekeeper asked, “Master, shall we arrange an assassination?”

Yu Biao responded, “No rush, let’s wait for the Land Officer Competition. At that time, I will see if I can kill him openly. If not, once we take over the management of Xiantao Town, dealing with him will be easy as pie.”

The housekeeper replied, “As you wish, Master.”

Yu Biao pondered for a moment, “As for Wu Zhong, prepare some money, and if necessary, hire a hitman to do the job.”

The housekeeper commented, “Master, killing someone of the Manager’s level will require quite a sum.”

Yu Biao said, “My son cannot die in vain. Both of them are the main culprits. If I can’t kill them, I won’t sleep well.”

“After so many years at Mianshui, I’ve earned so much money and fattened up so many people, wasn’t it all for this moment?”

“I’ll allocate two thousand taels of silver to you. If I can’t kill these two after the Land Officer Competition, just place a bounty on the Black Market. I want them dead!”

Yu Biao stated slowly.

He had two plans. The first was during the Land Officer Competition, and if Wu Zhong or Chen Jie showed up, he would strike a lethal blow on the arena to avenge his son.

As for retaliation from the Bai Family after his revenge.

He did not care; in the arena battles, victories and losses were common, and if one couldn’t pull back punches, it happened often. If they dared to retaliate over this, then the Guild Cao would intervene.

Rules were rules; no one could break them!

Of course, if one day Wu Zhong chickened out and dared not step into the arena, then he would place a bounty on the Black Market and hire assassins to kill Wu Zhong and Chen Jiu Si.

He couldn’t act himself, but assassins could!

With two thousand taels, it was enough to buy their lives.

Yu Biao’s gaze was as venomous as a serpent’s; he was a serpent indeed, unscrupulous in achieving his goals.

And his goal was to exact revenge for his son, to have those two men dead!

…

Bai Family.

On the training ground’s millstone, three men each held a large bowl of noodles, slurping noisily away.

Beside them, Doctor Bai was grinding medicine, while Su Yunjin and Lady Bai were busy topping up the noodles and adding sauces for the three men.

At this moment, Lady Bai complained, “This is the first time I’ve seen anyone return from a banquet this hungry.”

Wu Hong slurped up a mouthful of noodles, saying, “That’s because we don’t eat pork.”

Lady Bai responded, “Since when did you start having issues with pork? Besides, I didn’t see you skip the pork sauce today!”

Lady Bai complained.

Wu Zhong laughed and said, “The pork at Yu Biao’s house cannot compare to the pork sauce made by our Lan’er, not at all!”

Lady Bai corrected, “The sauce was made by Yunjin.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie chimed in, “Haha… no wonder it’s so tasty. It turns out my wife made it, tastes a hundred times better than what they had at the Yu’s, right, Brother Hong?”

Holding his bowl, Wu Hong replied, “Absolutely, my sister-in-law’s cooking is simply delicious, give me another spoonful.”
