Entering the bully's den, she changed her life by farming!

"Sir, tell me, does Magistrate Cao, the salty fisherman, hide the salt in the belly of the fish and sell it secretly?"

Liu Qing's eyes lit up and she looked at Wei Shao excitedly.

Wei Shao raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Qing with a "coward can be taught" look, "Hurry up and arrange your men to investigate. After collecting the evidence, stay put and wait for my instructions."

Liu Qing nodded and flew away immediately.

Because Wei Shao's identity cannot be revealed yet, they can only operate at night.

Liu Qing summoned the secret guards who had no mission and led them to ambush at the dock closest to Caoxian County.

There are too many docks, so if we divide the manpower, we can still investigate, but we are afraid that some fish will slip through the net or if they are alerted, the gain will outweigh the loss.

It is better to check one by one. Although the efficiency is slower, it can ensure that nothing will go wrong.

That night, they discovered that several fishing boats were still transporting back and forth.

They were suspicious at first and even sent people to lurk on the fishing boat for a while.

But people on fishing boats are more cautious. Newcomers can only do some chores on the deck and have no access to inside information.

Later, they witnessed the fishing boats trading with some merchants and made sure there were no problems before giving up the investigation.

Unexpectedly, these people were hiding quite deeply and actually put their ideas into the fish's belly. Although they also suffered losses, they earned more.

Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared in Liu Qing's eyes, and he gestured to several secret guards.

After receiving the order, the secret guard immediately retreated and quietly went to a slightly distant place to look out.

After confirming that there were no other ships around, Liu Qing made a gesture to take action.

At that moment, the secret guards surrounded them as quickly as possible, and before the people on the fishing boat could react, a glinting sword was held to their necks.

Liu Qing covered her face and walked slowly over after everyone on the fishing boat was put on the board.

At first, the people on the boat kept their heads down and didn't dare to say anything, but when they saw Liu Qing coming over, they suddenly became upset.

"Are you their leader? Why do you want to arrest us?"

"Who are you? Do you want to commit murder in broad daylight?"

"We have not offended you. There is no gold or silver on the ship. They are just rotten fish and shrimp tails. It is of no use to you if you want them."

Liu Qing's ears hurt from the noise, so he put his finger to his mouth and softly "shh".

At the same time, the secret guard holding the sword also increased the strength on his hand.

After her ears were clear again, Liu Qingcai deliberately said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate well, we won't hurt any of you."

"You don't have any hatred against us. However, I have a few questions to ask everyone, but you guys are too noisy. Why don't you tell me first, who is your leader?"

As soon as these words came out, the people squatting in front looked back one after another, and the people squatting behind looked forward one after another.

Liu Qing raised her eyebrows, and soon found the focus of her gaze. It turned out to be a short man, squatting tremblingly in the middle. Not to mention making a sound, he didn't dare to raise his head.

Liu Qing let out a breath and raised her hand impatiently.

The secret guard who was close to the dwarf immediately lifted him up.

The dwarf jumped with his feet in the air, closed his eyes in fear and shouted:

"Hero, spare your life. I don't know anything. I'm just a businessman."

Liu Qing walked over, looked at him from top to bottom, and said suspiciously: "Are you their leader?"

All the people on the ship were big and thick, so why would they submit to the control of such a dwarf?

The dwarf said tremblingly: "I'm not really their leader, it's just that I paid and they contributed."

Liu Qing asked the secret guard next to him with some surprise, "Do we still have such a solid cooperative relationship in Dasheng Dynasty?"

The secret guard shook his head.

Liu Qing clicked her tongue in surprise and turned to ask the dwarf, "Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not, you have to answer a few questions of mine honestly. If you can't answer them, look at your head carefully. Do you hear me?"

The dwarf shook even more violently and nodded hurriedly.

"Where are the goods on your ship stacked?"

The dwarf pointed to the cabin on the right, then took it back and said cautiously:

"It's right there, but all the cargo in the cabin has been shipped out, and there's nothing in it now."

If Liu Qing hadn't seen with his own eyes that all the fish were on the boat and they hadn't had time to trade them out, they might have truly believed his lies.

Liu Qing tilted her head and winked at the secret guard carrying the dwarf.

The secret guard silently drew a bloody mark on the dwarf with his sword.

The dwarf screamed shrilly, and before Liu Qing could ask again, his body was already wet, and a strong smell emanated from the surrounding area.

He was so scared that he peed.

If he had been acting, it would be impossible for him to have such a real reaction, unless he didn't know about the salt hidden in the fish's belly.

Liu Qing squinted her eyes, glanced around at the people squatting on the deck, and asked:

"Do you have a second person in charge?"

The dwarf stopped stuttering this time, pointed at the man hiding in the corner and said:

"It's him. Usually I'm only responsible for collecting payments and settling workers' wages. He was hired by me to take care of these people."

The man hiding in the corner saw that he was exposed and ignored the danger. He stood up and wanted to jump into the lake.

It's a pity that Liu Qing had noticed his actions long ago.

The man had already jumped out with one foot, but before his other foot could catch up, he was grabbed, and then his whole body was suspended on the boat.

Liu Qing grabbed the man's ankle and said sadly:

"You still want to run away. Where can you run? If you don't want to suffer, tell me honestly, where are you hiding today's goods?"

The man knew there was no room for escape, and with a hard look in his eyes, he was ready to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

It's a pity that Liu Qing is too experienced in handling these matters. He exerted force on his hand, and the man's body rose upwards. Then he swung back violently, and the man fell heavily on the deck.

The secret guard next to him quickly removed the man's jaw with his quick eyes and hands.

At this time, the man had no way out. He simply had no choice but to live or die.

Liu Qing twisted her wrist and sneered:

"Take him down first, don't let anyone die. Let's look for him on the ship. If we can't find him, we'll torture him."

The wind and rain passed by at night.

After the banquet, Zhao Zhizhi was worried that Magistrate Cao would send people to cause trouble again.

After worrying for two days, she saw that nothing happened, so she believed what Wei Shao said.

Although County Magistrate Cao relied on his position as an official and did all kinds of evil secretly, he still pretended to be the same thing on the surface. He really thought he was a human being because he was really a beast wearing a human skin.
