Chapter 713: Ma Lu Caused Their Misfortune
Shu Yu keenly noticed that the expressions of the group were a bit off and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Don't tell me that fifth Team's encounter with the bear has something to do with you guys."
Just as she finished speaking, loud cries came from the room. "It was Ma Lu and his gang who caused us harm. They planned it... "
Ma Lu snorted and walked straight to the door of the room, facing the people inside. "Don't slander us. How could we have caused harm to you? Do you think I made the bear come? Do you think I commanded it to hurt you? If I had that ability, why would I need to work so hard to hunt in the mountains every day? It would be better if the bear delivered the prey to my doorstep directly."
"That's right. I know that fifth Team and third Team don't get along, and now they've suffered heavy losses. But that doesn't mean you can throw all sorts of dirty water on us."
The members of third Team stood at the door and made sarcastic remarks, infuriating the person from fifth Team who had just spoken, causing him to cough up blood.
Shu Yu's lips twitched, and Fang Xiyue pulled her aside and whispered, "Actually, we didn't expect fifth Team to encounter a bear."
"So, what's the whole story?"
Fang Xiyue looked around, seeing no officials present, and whispered, "Last time, didn't fifth Team catch poisonous snakes to try to kill us? But they were dealt with by Young Master Meng. At that time, we were in a hurry to catch the giant beast and didn't have time to deal with them. Today, Ma Lu and the others said they wanted revenge; otherwise, fifth Team would think we were afraid of them."
So, when they were going up the mountain, Ma Lu intentionally spoke loudly about the process of fighting the tiger, knowing that fifth Team was following behind them.
Of course, some of it was fabricated.
Ma Lu claimed that on that day when they encountered the big tiger, there was not only one, but also a slightly smaller tiger, probably the child of that tiger.
Initially, they had seen the small tiger first. Although it was not as impressive as the one they had killed, it still had some weight, and catching it would also earn them rewards.
Unexpectedly, when they surrounded and injured the small tiger, the big tiger appeared. It let the small tiger escape while it stayed to deal with them.
After Ma Lu and the others defeated the big tiger, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they didn't go looking for the other one and instead carried the defeated tiger down the mountain.
They were not sure if the injured small tiger was still there or if it had recovered.
They decided to check it out. If it was still there, while the prefect magistrate was still in Heichang County, they could make another attempt to capture it and maybe receive even greater rewards.
They acted on their decision and ventured deep into the mountains.
However, when they were about to reach the area, one person from third Team stepped on an empty space and sprained their foot. They couldn't even walk, let alone hunt.
Third Team couldn't leave him behind since their safety would be compromised without one person.
So, after discussing it, they decided to let go of the small tiger for now and come back in a few days to check on it.
They quickly turned around and left the deep mountains.
Ma Lu and his group smoothly made up and spread their fabricated story. The members of fifth Team who followed them naturally overheard.
Moreover, fifth Team believed them and even began to consider taking action themselves. They heard that it was just an injured small tiger, and they thought it was a rare opportunity they couldn't miss. How could they let it slip away?
