Chapter 233 Counterattack (Part 2)
That was not all. When a spooky sound effect sounded, the strong mask that Caique had been holding up finally collapsed. She cried with snot and tears, and rushed towards Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua used a small mushroom-shaped speaker and played the opening theme song of the old version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the instrumental version...
Combined with the green phosphorescent flames flickering in all directions, the effect is amazing.
After the colorful bird girl collapsed from fright, it became easy to question her.
Just as a chess piece charging into battle, Miss Caique actually had no idea of Xie Fanglan's purpose and subsequent plans.
But for Xia Daohua, it is enough to find out the person behind the colorful bird girl.
Xie Fanglan, this lady from a noble family who was very kind to her, actually let her maid get close to Wu Lang... Was she seeing potential in Wu Lang, or was there something else going on?
Summer rice flowers tend to be the latter.
Because if she really regarded Wu Lang as a potential stock, then a calculating person like Xie Fanglan would never let her maid get away with it, right?
After listing all the possibilities one by one, Xia Daohua guessed that Xie Fanglan was most likely eyeing her family's wealth and intended to seize "Daohuaxiang".
As for what specific method she intends to use, it is unclear.
But it doesn't matter.
At most, we can let this colorful bird stay in our space for a few more days. Anyway, the space has a bottom line, and the colorful bird will not die if she stays in it for a few more days. It's just that she can't move and is unconscious.
But since Xie Fanglan had the guts to plot against her brother, then it wouldn't be too much for her to retaliate...
Xia Daohua took the colorful bird girl who was about to faint from crying into the space, went inside to take care of her, untied the ropes on her, put the handcuffs, blindfold and hood back in place, stuffed her into the storage area, put the small mushroom speaker back into the space, and then leisurely left the mass grave.
The next day, there was a legend in Jixiang County that strange noises were heard at the mass grave.
It seems that when Xia Daohua was interrogating Miss Caique, there should have been someone else at the mass grave. But that person didn't get too close, otherwise, Xia Daohua would have discovered him long ago.
Come to think of it, with Xia Daohua's appearance, who would dare to get close to her in the middle of the night?
Xia Daohua thought about it carefully and realized that since Xie Fanglan was planning to take over "Daohuaxiang", she was probably after money.
Then, I will take revenge on her by giving her wealth.
The next evening, Xia Daohua hid in the space and sneaked into the Xie family's house behind the county government office. In fact, it was all thanks to Xia Youcai's medicine box.
Xia Daohua placed the extremely effective knockout drug in the Xie family's large kitchen without hesitation.
As a result, all the members of the Xie family, from Magistrate Xie and his wife to the maids and servants, the old women who swept the courtyard, and the stable boys who fed the horses, all slept soundly.
There were one or two people who had not eaten. Seeing that everyone in the house and the yard was asleep, they realized something was wrong and wanted to wake them up. However, they found that these people were sleeping very soundly and could not be woken up even by pushing them.
The two servants who discovered something was wrong were about to go out to call for help when they were knocked unconscious from behind - the person who did it was naturally Xia Daohua, the mastermind behind the incident.
Seeing that everyone was asleep, Xia Daohua began her real revenge.
Starting from Magistrate Xie's study, Xia Daohua put everything that could be moved in the room into the space.
Including heavy books and thick wooden bookshelves. The four treasures of the study, paperweights, embroidered screens, collectibles, and ornaments, of course, are indispensable. Tables, chairs, benches and other furniture are also put away.
In addition to County Magistrate Xie's study, Xia Daohua also searched other rooms.
The bedrooms of County Magistrate Xie and his wife, the bedrooms of several young masters and young ladies of the Xie family, the rooms of County Magistrate Xie's concubines, the public treasury of the Xie family and the private treasury of the mistress of the house... In the end, even the firewood shed and stable of the Xie family were not spared by Xia Daohua.
In order to make room for all these miscellaneous things, Xia Daohua specially found many storage boxes, and stuffed some of the emergency supplies that she had originally piled up in the storage area into the storage boxes, stacking them up high.
After cleaning up the Xie family residence behind the county government office, Xia Daohua went to Xianmei Garden again.
Xianmei Garden, as the other courtyard of County Magistrate Xie, also houses a lot of antiques and daily necessities. Among other things, the tea sets and tableware are all exquisite official kiln porcelain.
Some are even antiques from hundreds of years ago.
There are also furniture such as tables, chairs and benches, all made of huanghuali, red rosewood, and golden nanmu. Selling them to the space supermarket can exchange for a lot of supermarket coins.
Xia Daohua also swept through Xianmei Garden and almost filled up the storage area. Only then did the depression in her heart ease a little.
She knew that as a commoner, it was normal for her to be plotted against by a superior like Xie Fanglan in the Great Chu Dynasty.
This place is different from modern society. The wealth earned legally by ordinary people in the Great Chu Dynasty does not completely belong to them.
They have to find someone to back them and pay tribute to them. They have to take care of the officials and runners they meet when they are doing things. They have to pay protection fees to the hooligans on the street.
After deducting these, what remains is your profit.
Even so, if there is too much remaining profit, it will still attract covetousness and even lead to fatal disaster.
Isn’t that what happened with the family massacre in Huazhi County?
Xie Fanglan has set her sights on Wu Lang. Not only does she want to plot against "Daohuaxiang", she also wants to plot against Wu Lang. This is what makes Xia Daohua most unhappy.
I can understand that you are thinking about my money, after all, money is a powerful thing.
You still care about my family...
That's too much!
Although the fourth branch of the Xia family was a poor man who had suddenly become rich, firstly, Xia Daohua concealed the real profit from his family; secondly, the fourth branch and his wife were honest people who did not attract disasters, did not cause trouble, and did not like to show off.
They did not show much financial strength.
If not for this, Xie Fanglan might not be the only one who is thinking about plotting against "Daohuaxiang" at this moment.
Xia Daohua thought about it and decided to hire a good teacher for Wulang and give him some special treatment.
If Wulang had passed the exam earlier, our family wouldn't have had to struggle so hard.
If the relationship with the first wife had not been severed, she could have invested more in Xia Dalang. After all, the two sides were not yet five generations apart, and if Xia Dalang passed the imperial examination, her family could also benefit from it.
However, it seems that Xia Dalang has now become a good thing, but Xia Daohua is still worried.
The eldest brother's family, the dead Xia Youcai and Liu, and the missing Jinhua and Yinhua in the chaos, are not good people. Who knows if Xia Dalang can stay clean in the mud?
