Chapter 405: No Heartache, No Forgiveness
"Madam, I'm not lying," the gatekeeper said. "Not only did I see it, but the guards and other maids in the courtyard saw it too."
"Miss Jiaojiao really only took one piece of clothing."
The old lady looked at the others.
Finally, his gaze fell on an old woman who had been in the Cao family for nearly thirty years. "Tell me what happened yesterday, word for word."
The old woman knelt down tremblingly: "Yes."
"Yesterday afternoon, Miss Jiaojiao suddenly came to the warehouse to pick up something. She brought your token with her. We verified it and confirmed it without a doubt."
"Miss Jiaojiao has been in there for a long time. As it was getting dark, the lights in the room could not be turned on. I even urged her through the window a few times."
"Miss Jiaojiao just said it was hard to find. She didn't know where the clothes were kept. There were so many clothes in the storeroom that it was difficult to find a specific one. This servant didn't suspect anything."
"Later, Miss Jiaojiao took a piece of clothing and left, and she also praised us for how well we had organized the storeroom."
"Miss Jiaojiao apologized to us again, saying that she had delayed our inventory. She said it was dark and dry, so it was not suitable to use a lamp inside. The poor light might cause something to be accidentally broken. She asked us not to count yet and that it would not be too late to do it tomorrow."
"We thought what Miss Jiaojiao said made sense, so we locked the door."
"Who knew that the warehouse would be so empty!" The old woman's face turned pale.
The things in the Cao family's warehouse are priceless, and even if she sold her entire family, it would not be enough to make a small difference.
Old Madam Cao said angrily, "According to what you said, the things in the warehouse disappeared?"
Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Report to the police."
"Go report to the police immediately."
"Someone must have taken the things away in the dark. Let the authorities catch the thief."
Cao Jian frowned slightly: "Mother."
"It's no use reporting it to the police."
"Most of the things in the warehouse were moved away by Cao Jiaojiao."
Mrs. Cao couldn't believe it: "How could a woman like her carry so many things?"
Cao Jian said: "There is something strange about her."
"That thing can eat up wealth."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Old Mrs. Cao was stunned.
Cao Da, Cao Si and others who followed were also stunned.
"What do you mean?" asked Old Master Cao.
Cao Jian said: "I can't be sure."
"It's just that I've discovered a few times now and then that she can conjure things out of thin air, and can also make things disappear out of thin air."
"She should have something like the mustard seed bag or something similar to what's described in the storybook."
"That's why I firmly believe she is a blessed girl."
Cao Da asked, "Could it be that she used the excuse of looking for clothes to hide our storeroom in a mustard seed bag and then escaped overnight?"
Cao Jian nodded in agreement.
The government doesn't believe in mustard seed bags, and it's even less likely that Cao Jiaojiao will confess on her own initiative.
Neither witnesses nor physical evidence could prove that Cao Jiaojiao stole the Cao family's property.
Therefore, it is useless to report to the police.
The Cao family had no choice but to swallow this loss.
Old Mrs. Cao couldn't stand and fell to the ground.
"Family misfortune."
"It's a misfortune for the family."
"How could we let a wolf into our house like this?" Old Mrs. Cao pounded the ground. "Cao Jian, it's all your fault."
"Would you please stay with your wife and children for a long time?"
"If it weren't for that bitch Yue Niang, if it weren't for Cao Jiaojiao, our Cao family would have gotten better and better under the protection of Duke Ningguo. It would only be a matter of time before we could become one of the great families in Shangjing."
"It's all your fault. You left your own children behind and chose to honor that bitch's bastard."
"That's it, it's over, it's all over."
Cao Jian's face looked very ugly.
He regretted it, very, very much.
But there is no use in regretting.
"Father, Mother, losing those gold and silver treasures is indeed a huge loss, but we have backup copies of the property deeds at the government office. If you want to buy or sell them, our people must be present."
"Even if Cao Jiaojiao took those things, it would be useless. As long as we say that the originals were accidentally lost and replace them, the ones Cao Jiaojiao took will automatically be invalidated."
Old Mrs. Cao was so anxious that she was confused.
After Cao Jian said this, she finally reacted.
That’s right, although there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, the most valuable ones are shops, houses and farms.
In Shangjing, where every inch of land is valuable, those land deeds are worth more than a million.
With those things, the Cao family will not collapse.
Old Master Cao said, "That makes sense."
"Hurry, go to the government office and get it done..."
Cao Jian didn't care about anything and hurriedly took Cao Da and Cao Si to the government office.
After arriving at the government office.
The relevant personnel frowned and asked: "Are you sure these are your houses?"
"Your names aren't on the deeds you're talking about."
"Impossible." Cao Jian said.
The official said, "Take a look."
"In recent years, these houses and shops have been sold by a man named Cao Yue. Here, it's the time of the sale, here is the seller, and here is the new owner."
"The money and goods have been exchanged, and the government has witnessed it. There can be no falsehood."
Cao Jian and the other two were stunned.
They hurried to see.
As expected.
All of the Cao family's real estate, such as houses and shops, were sold by Cao Yue, the second son of the Cao family.
The mansion where the Cao family currently lives is the only one that survived, and it has been mortgaged by Cao Er.
The meaning of mortgage is that if Cao Er cannot be found, the debt collector can take away the house at any time.
Cao Jian couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the ground.
Cao Da and Cao Si had no choice but to carry Cao Jian back to the Cao family.
At this time, a group of debt collectors gathered at the door of Cao's house.
The group of people took the mortgage document and wanted to occupy the Cao family's house.
Seeing that things were not going well for the Cao family's servants, the indentured servants secretly took whatever they could and ran away.
The servant of the death contract looked ashen.
The Cao family is in chaos.
…
The other side.
Xie Yingmian and Wen Ge sat in the private room of Zhaixing Tower.
From the box, you can see the main gate of the Cao family.
"Wen Ge," Xie Yingmian said, "All the Cao family's wealth has been squandered. They will live in poverty for the rest of their lives, a life worse than death."
"How is this result?"
Wen Ge said seriously: "This is what they deserve."
Xie Yingmian: "If you feel distressed..."
Wen Ge shook her head: "No, I feel sorry for you, no, I don't want to forgive you, it has nothing to do with me."
"I am a stranger to them."
Xie Yingmian chuckled.
What she feared most was that Wen Ge would become soft-hearted.
If Wen Ge shows any weakness, the Cao family will suck his blood away again.
Once Wen Ge is sucked into the Cao family, this will be the end of her life.
Fortunately, Wen Ge did not show any mercy.
Things change, and the Cao family has brought this upon themselves.
"Let's go and interrogate Cao Jiaojiao." Xie Yingmian said.
Cao Jiaojiao's family was trapped by Xie Yingmian in a village in Hedu District.
The manor is surrounded by guards, and it is so airtight that not even a fly can fly out.
After Xie Yingmian and Wen Ge entered the room.
Zang Yue came forward and said, "Princess, Cao Jiaojiao has woken up."
"Just right." Xie Yingmian walked towards the room where Cao Jiaojiao was.
inside the house.
Cao Jiaojiao's whole body was limp, as soft as a puddle of mud.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter what medicine she took, she couldn't recover.
When I was anxious.
With a creaky sound, the door opened.
