Chapter 150: The Mortuary of the Disappearing Corpses
"This? What smells so good?!"
More and more people were attracted, and Li Erlang smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Yubaoer, did you see that? It's done!" He winked at Li Yuer proudly.
"What's in this pot?"
People stretched their necks to look into the pot. The rich marinade was heated by the charcoal fire, bubbling and emitting a fragrance that could be smelled within a dozen meters.
"Oh my god! I can't stand it anymore, give me a bowl."
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Li Yuer asked Li Laosan to remove the charcoal and put the charcoal barrel aside.
Li Yuer said, "This is our signature dish, braised seafood. Because there are more spices in the stew, it is one penny more expensive than the previous bowl. This penny is spent on this fragrant stew."
A customer had eaten some delicious seafood and spicy fried snails, and was craving for them, so she urged, "Hey, little girl, give me a bowl first to satisfy my craving."
Li Yuer saw that the other party was well-off from his clothes, so he quickly put a layer of oil paper in the bowl, scooped out a bowl of braised seafood, poured appropriate marinade on it, took out a branch that he had cut in advance, and handed it to him.
"Uncle, this branch is for picking seafood."
The man took it, used a branch to pick up a piece of sea cucumber and ate it.
"Hmm! This braised seafood is even more delicious! The marinade is so damn fragrant. It smells so good."
Seeing that he was eating so happily, others also wanted a bowl.
There was not much left in a small pot of braised seafood in a short while.
"Make way! What are you doing?" Two bailiffs came in. "So many people gathered here, are you causing trouble?"
When the leading yamen runner saw that it was Li Yuer and his group, he said, "So it's you."
He looked around the stall, as if looking for someone.
Li Yuer knew that they were looking for Lai Zi.
I said, "You two officials, we are here to sell some of our own snacks during the temple fair. You two came just in time. Please help us taste them and see if they are delicious."
As he spoke, Li Yuer started to pack two large portions, wrapped them in oil paper, and stuffed them into their hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two officers. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you are also responsible for maintaining order and the safety of the people."
The two officers looked at each other, smiled and accepted it, saying, "Okay, we will patrol around here. If you brothers and sisters have any problems, call us."
Li Yuer smiled and nodded, "Master, you are busy."
The two of them took the seafood and left happily.
Li Erlang whispered with some distress, "Yu Baoer, why are you giving them so much?"
Li Yuer said, "It costs money to get rid of the disaster. Besides, if Captain Zhong hadn't led them last time, do you think we could have escaped so easily?"
"Boss, hurry up!" a customer urged to serve the food quickly.
Li Erlang shouted, "Here it comes! Your marinated seafood is so fresh and fragrant, I want more!"
The man happily took the seafood, took a bite, and another foodie became addicted.
A little bit of the bottom of the pot was gone quickly.
There were also those who came late, shaking their heads and sighing, "Boss, when will you come next time?"
Li Erlang said apologetically: "That's really uncertain. We don't go out to sea in winter, so there's no seafood."
"Oh!" The first customer who ate his seafood felt a little disappointed and asked, "Where does this seafood come from?"
Li Erlang said, "I collected it by chance from the seaside. I'll go ask around these days to see if they still have it. If they do, I'll continue making it and selling it."
"Then hurry up, you have aroused my greed, and I can't go back."
"Hahahaha! Don't tell me, I think so too. This must be good with alcohol. Luckily I grabbed a pack and took it back to honor my dad."
After saying this, the man left quickly as if he was afraid of being robbed.
After selling the things, several people packed up their stalls and headed back home. It was difficult to go shopping with so many things.
Before leaving the town, I met Erdan's family.
Erdan had made a lot of money before, and his father Zhou Dafa had a good New Year. He even took his family out to attend the temple fair on New Year's Day.
There was also a woman and a young girl standing next to Erdan. The girl had a decent appearance, but her eyes were a little dull, and she looked straight at people.
Li Yuer and others wished everyone a Happy New Year. When Zhou Dafa heard that they were going to the beach together, he greeted them happily.
After talking for a few words, they were about to separate. When Zhou Dafa walked five meters away, Erdan ran back.
He secretly told Li Yuer and the others, "Three Maos are missing. It seems to be related to Ma Wu. You should be careful recently."
After saying that, he ran off to catch up with his family.
Li Laosan frowned and said, "What do you think?"
Li Yuer said: "We have to be more careful."
Li Erlang gnashed his teeth and said, "Ma Wu is a nuisance. Why didn't he go out and fall to his death?"
By the way, the last time Ma Wu caused trouble for Li Yuer, he went back and was reported to Long Ye by those strong men.
Lord Long called him over and hung him up. There was a big iron pot underneath with boiling hot oil in it.
One of the tortures used by gambling houses to force gamblers to pay back their money.
Ma Wu was so frightened that his voice changed immediately, and he cried and begged: "Lord Long! Lord Long! Please give me another chance, I won't dare to do it again."
That Mr. Long had a smiling face. If he was not doing something cruel at the moment, you would not be able to tell that he was the evil gang that ran a casino.
"I only keep useful people! Do you want to be a living dog or a dead dog?"
Ma Wu immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, Master Long. I will go and get you some able-bodied men right away. Get lots of them."
Long Ye patted his pale face and threw a rat into the frying pan. The rat was scalded to pieces without even having time to scream.
Ma Wu was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. When he was let down, a foul smell came out of his crotch.
Besides, when the body of Long Face was found by the government, the case was closed as the man fell off a cliff and was eaten by wild beasts. However, on the night the case was closed, the body that was kept in the charity cemetery disappeared.
There had never been a case of a body being lost in the county government office before. Magistrate Wu and his son were extremely anxious, fearing that the kidnapping of Guo Qingran would be exposed. They immediately ordered all the government officials to dig deep into the ground to find the body.
The yamen runners searched every house in the town but found nothing, so they began to search the nearby villages, but still found nothing.
Just when County Magistrate Wu was looking for the body like an ant on hot pan, the body appeared in a Taoist temple near Yuanbao Mountain.
Early in the morning, the Taoist priest in the temple just got up and went out, he saw a corpse hanging from the old pine tree in the yard.
He was startled and thought that the person in the temple had committed suicide. When he got closer, he found that it was a rotten corpse that had been bitten badly. Seeing the scar on the man's face that had not been completely bitten off, he recognized that the person was Scar Qiang and went to inform the gang leader.
In fact, Yunhe Xianguan was a pirate stronghold, specifically used to monitor and contact Yuanbaoshan.
Yun Canghe, the abbot of Yunhe Immortal Temple, is the leader of the pirate Yunhe Gang. He has multiple disguised identities and has spies planted in various places.
Later, in order to make a living, he was recruited by County Magistrate Wu in the name of Zhao'an and became a secret force, specifically helping County Magistrate Wu and his son to do those dirty and tiring jobs that could not be seen under the sun.
