Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 411 The sooner the better, let's set off tonight.

Chapter 411 The sooner the better, let's set off tonight.

When they came to their senses, they heard laughter coming from the courtyard. "You're here? Take a bath first!"

In the pitch-black night, something was suddenly thrown at them, followed by a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered, which came from the top of the wall.

"Ah ah ah..."

"It's so hot, so hot..."

"It's burning me to death..."

Suddenly, all the lights in the courtyard were turned on.

Beneath the low wall, two boys, barely out of school, also lit their tinderboxes.

The group of men in black on the low wall chuckled, "They aided and abetted the wicked and deserved to suffer the consequences. They'll get a taste of roasted pig."

He lit a piece of cloth with a tinderbox, and with a flick of his wrist, the flaming cloth was thrown through the air in a perfect parabola, landing right on one of the men in black.

The unfortunate man was immediately set on fire in parts of his body.

"Aaaaaah..." The screams grew even more intense.

"Oil, it's oil! They want to burn us alive!" The men in black immediately realized.

Chen Zhao chuckled and threw another piece of burning cloth at them, saying, "You reap what you sow! I'll teach you to do such inhuman things!"

The men in black were stunned. They thought these people lacked martial ethics, but their night raid didn't seem to have either.

Then look at those two teenagers, they seem to have gone mad, throwing fireballs at each other.

If you can't dodge in time, you might really be roasted like a suckling pig.

And again, it was clear that there were several times more troops than their own hidden around this small courtyard.

They weren't the bodyguards trained by Magistrate Yang; there was no question of them risking their lives.

One of the men in black immediately quit, shouting, "I'm getting the lowest pay for the dirtiest and hardest work! What kind of lowly person am I? I quit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black rushed into the night and disappeared into the distance.

Then came the second, the third, and so on until the last one.

Lin Yanqing and Chen Zhao high-fived under the wall, "Well done!"

Blow out the tinder and put it away.

As I was walking into the house, the ground shook again, and another loud noise came from somewhere in the city.

Lin Yansheng looked at Chen Zhao, "Is this a second explosion?"

Chen Zhao nodded, then scratched his head, "This magistrate's house has quite a few latrines."

Lin Yanqing chuckled, "That's great! Let's blast his mansion full of manure."

Chen Zhao laughed heartily, "I didn't realize you were such a sly little devil."

Lin Yanqing laughed heartily, "Who told that dog of a magistrate to behave like a human being? Just you wait and see, when the people of Su County hear that the magistrate's mansion has been bombed, they'll all be secretly delighted!"

"Perhaps, we should even thank the hero who blew up the latrine in private."

Chen Zhao laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight. "Hahaha, he must be the first official of the imperial court to have his latrine blown up!"

Lin Yanqing curled his lip, "He didn't even get the official position by donation!" He even used his mother's dowry to donate it, what a heartless bastard.

"Chen Zhao, Yan Qing, come in!" At this moment, Lin Chang'er waved to the two of them from the doorway.

The two quickly ran towards her, "Sister Chang'er!"

Lin Chang'er nodded to the two of them, "Come in and talk!"

Inside the house, several adults were already seated, and even Yudian was singing to herself in Gu Ersao's arms.

“Yan Qing,” Lin Chang’er said, “Things have come to this point, neither we nor Magistrate Yang can easily back down!”

Lin Yanqing nodded, "I know, what should I do?"

Lin Chang'er looked at Wu Qingfeng, who nodded to her.

Lin Chang'er said, "Go to the capital to file a complaint, do you dare?"

Lin Yanqing looked at her, "The son accuses the father..." If the father is guilty, so too will the son.

Lin Chang'er laughed, "If you don't accuse Marquis Yunxing, then accuse Magistrate Yang of condoning his grandson's violence. Although he is an official, he was originally a servant of the Xu family, and his daughter is a concubine of your Marquis Yunxing's mansion. A concubine is nothing more than a servant, and her father is naturally inferior to her."

“Master is telling his servant, there’s nothing to say. He was just lucky. If your family had been more forceful and hadn’t released him from his indenture, how could he have gotten this official position?”

Lin Yanqing scratched his head. "Sister, his indenture might still be valid."

Lin Chang'er's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Lin Yanqing said, "Before the old woman left, she told me that my mother left me some things at Wantong Money Shop, including part of my dowry and the contracts of the dowry attendants."

“Magistrate Yang was part of my mother’s dowry. The Wantong Money Shop is not accessible to anyone other than the person who received it or the recipient.”

"I think those things should still be there."

Lin Chang'er clapped her hands. "Brilliant! If you find his indenture, you can go directly to the Jingzhao Prefecture and report him as a runaway slave."

Lin Yanqing's eyes lit up as well, "Sister is right, then when should I..."

Lin Chang'er looked at Chen Shanzhang, who took out a series of neatly bound letters from his sleeve. "These are letters I wrote to the Imperial Censor. If you encounter any obstacles, you can seek his help."

Lin Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and accepted it with both hands, then bowed respectfully.

Wu Qingfeng also handed him his jade token, saying, "I will also write a letter back. When that time comes, take this jade token to the Wu family for help. I think they will be more than happy to oblige."

Lin Yanqing accepted it according to custom.

He then looked at Lin Chang'er, as if he felt at ease with her presence. He was also curious that Chen Shanzhang was old and had difficulty moving around.

Lord Wu is unable to return to the capital due to his status. What about my sister? Will she accompany him to the capital to file a complaint?

At this moment, Lin Chang'er spoke up, "I can't accompany you to the capital this time, but we've already arranged for people to escort you. We'll also make arrangements in advance in the capital so that someone will meet you once you arrive. Is that alright?" If they all left, Magistrate Yang would inevitably become suspicious. Without him, Magistrate Yang would only think that they had hidden Yan Qing away.

Lin Yanqing was taken aback at first, then grinned and said, "Sure, it's time for me to take charge on my own. Besides, my sister and Lord Wu have already arranged things for me in the capital. If I still don't dare to make this trip, I'd be a coward."

Sister-in-law Gu looked at him, her eyes inevitably filled with worry.

Bai He felt the same way, but children need to be let go so they can learn to fly. She reached into her crossbody bag and pulled out a small firecracker. "I made it myself. It can save your life in an emergency. Keep it with you and watch out for sparks."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Yanqing said with a smile as she accepted the gift.

Chen Zhao could tell at a glance that this was for fun, and he asked shamelessly, "Auntie, do you have any for me?"

Lin Chang'er followed up, "I almost forgot to ask, Chen Zhao, do you dare to go to the capital with Yan Qing?"

Chen Zhao scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of? It's our duty to help the weak and punish the strong. Besides, I did the most work in dealing with those two bastards this morning. How could I not report them?"

After a moment of hesitation, he added, "It's just my father..."

Headmaster Chen waved his hand, "I will explain things to your father. Just follow orders on the way and don't cause any trouble. Once we get to the capital, you must listen to your uncles even more."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao immediately became excited, "Great! I'm going to the capital too!"

Seeing this, Bai He pulled out a handful of small firecrackers. "Here, you'd better hide them well!"

Chen Zhao nodded, then asked, "When are Yan Qing and I leaving?"

Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, "The sooner the better, let's set off tonight..."
