Chapter 231 Catching Birds
Xie Fanglan looked at Caique meaningfully, with an ambiguous smile on her lips.
Or I'm just being too stubborn.
All that time I have spent wasted!
In fact, as long as we send Wulang and Caique into a room and let one or two people see them... the task will be half done.
After that, just strip off the clothes of the two people and kill Caique.
Wu Lang is naturally the only murderer.
Xia Wulang was tempted by beauty and forced Cai Que, a chaste and heroic woman, to commit murder. He must be imprisoned. The fourth branch of the Xia family, for their only male child, who was still a seed of learning, would definitely save him even if it meant losing everything.
And this criminal case cannot escape the scope of Daddy's authority...
By then, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants with the four branches of the Xia family?
The more Xie Fanglan thought about it, the happier she became, and her smile towards Caique became more gentle.
Caique didn't know why, but he felt his scalp tingling and his body getting cold. It seemed that some horrible thoughts were stirring in his mind and wanted to break out of the ground.
She wanted to escape.
Miss Seven is so beautiful when she smiles.
Why did she just want to escape?
Xie Fanglan laughed enough and said to Caique, "Caique, you are a good girl. This bracelet is given to you as a reward. Wear it for fun."
It was a ruby bracelet inlaid with gold and jade, shining brightly and extremely luxurious.
Cai Que knelt down hurriedly and said, "This is too expensive. I dare not accept it. Besides, I haven't completed my task yet. How can I deserve the reward from the young lady?"
Xie Fanglan smiled slightly, touched Caique's hair, and said lightly:
"You are a smart girl.
If it's given to you, just take it. How can you refuse something that your master has given you?
It's not your fault that the job was not done. That guy is stubborn and won't be easily fooled. Don't be impatient.
Take a break for two or three days, and then continue as before and slowly get in touch with him. "
After receiving clear instructions, Caique's restless heart finally felt at ease.
She nodded, with tears of emotion in her eyes, and took the bracelet given by Xie Fanglan:
"Thank you for your reward, Miss! I will work even harder and do my best!"
Xie Fanglan waved her hand casually: "Go down."
"I'll take my leave."
Caique held the bracelet in both hands, slowly stood up, half bent over, and walked out the door backwards.
Xie Fanglan watched Caique leave like this and thought to herself, this girl is so smart and pretty, I really can't bear to let her go.
But after a moment, Xie Fanglan laughed at herself for being soft-hearted and shook off the fleeting thought of giving up this plan.
Magistrate Xie was a romantic and suave man who disliked worldly affairs.
Originally he was well-fed by his family, so it was no big deal if he squandered a little.
But who made the youngest son of the Xie family master suddenly become successful? That boy is Xie Fanglan's uncle, but he is two years younger than Xie Fanglan.
With the halo of being young and promising, and his status as the clan leader's son, all the family resources naturally tilted towards that kid.
County Magistrate Xie received much less support from his family.
He also kept many beauties. He also often bought antiques, played with elegant names, and supported actors and courtesans. He also often repaired gardens, entertained guests, and sang with scholars and poets.
To do these things, one must have a grand ceremony. He was not willing to accept those maids and servants who were not good-looking.
If he acts like this, how can the family property afford to support his spending?
Everyone admired the ease and carefree work of County Magistrate Xie. Who knew how much money he had invested?
If he spends money the way he does, even if he has mountains of gold and silver at home, it still won't be enough!
Since the Xie family's support for County Magistrate Xie was reduced to 300 taels of silver per year, the Xie family has been very tight on money for a while. Even my mother's dowry has been filled up a lot.
The Xie family arrived in Jixiang County late.
Jixiang County is too close to Kyoto, and the local forces are already intertwined.
Those big merchants all have their own masters, and small merchants can't afford to be plundered. If someone dies and it affects my father's official reputation and career, it's no joke.
It wasn't Xie Fanglan who had to provoke Xia Daohua.
In fact, the shop "Daohuaxiang" is like a hen that lays golden eggs, attracting everyone's attention. In fact, there is no shop more suitable for Xie Fanglan to reach out than "Daohuaxiang"!
Xie Fanglan prepared herself mentally, and while secretly cursing her lecherous father with gritted teeth, she set about setting up this vicious scheme.
In order to kill Caique, the crime must be pinned on Wulang. The person who does the killing cannot be neglected and must be someone who is completely trustworthy.
Not only must he be trustworthy, but he must also be smart and have the ability to deal with emergencies. He must be bold, careful, ruthless, and absolutely loyal to himself. Such a candidate is really hard to come by...
Xie Fanglan went through the Xie family's adopted son and the dowry brought by her mother in her mind, but still couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Do I have to do this kind of thing myself?
Xie Fanglan stood up irritably, walked a few steps inside the room, then opened the door and walked into the yard to get some fresh air.
The feeling of having no one available is so depressing!
…
"Brother, just go to school as usual. I'll go meet this bird someday." Xia Daohua couldn't help laughing.
I don't know if this colorful bird is in love with my brother, a sunny young man, or if there is someone behind the scenes directing and planning something.
No matter which one it is, you can't just ignore it.
It seems necessary to catch this bird and interrogate it to find out what is hidden in her mind!
Xia Daohua is a person who does whatever he wants.
To put it more nicely, it is called "acting immediately upon words".
She was determined to capture the colorful bird and interrogate it, so she did just that.
It is very simple to do - just accompany Goro to and from school every day, and you will easily meet Caique.
She really saw Cai Que smiling at Wu Lang tenderly and shyly, with red cheeks, trying to get close to him in various ways, sending him food, flowers, and handkerchiefs...
Wu Lang refused all of them without exception. Not only did he refuse, he also put on a scholarly face that didn't understand romance: "Miss Caique, men and women shouldn't touch each other, please respect yourself."
Cai Que's face was full of heartbreak, tears streaming down her fair cheeks like pearls. Wu Lang's classmates couldn't help but follow suit and said, "Wulang, you are too cruel, you are really as hard as iron!"
Someone else shouted, "Miss Caique, Wulang is a blockhead. Why don't you look at us? We are all talented and educated people!"
