A casino collapsed, and many people in the officialdom became fat.
However, Cai Kuo was ultimately unable to recover the lost treasures in the warehouse.
He was even criticized intentionally or unintentionally by the governor Zhang Shun.
As a result, Cai Kuo didn't dare to continue searching. He could only comfort himself in his heart that at least he had found a box of treasures, and he also got a lot of property confiscated from the casino, which was considered some compensation.
As for the account book, he recorded it very secretly, so even if someone else took it, it would be unlikely to recognize it.
Of course, he still instructed Guan Yue to secretly keep an eye on the whereabouts of the treasures.
Guan Yue naturally agreed.
In order to gain the trust of this corrupt official and investigate his crimes, Guan Yue obeyed his orders on the surface.
So Cai Kuo naturally treated Guan Yue as his own and did not hide many things from him.
This is also the reason why Guan Yue was able to detect the existence of the account book.
The happiest people when the casino collapsed were the old Xue family, because once the casino collapsed, no one would pursue the debts owed by Xue Lao San, the house was saved, and they didn't have to sell their daughter-in-law, Li.
As for the rift that arose between Li and Xue Lao San, that was not the concern of the other members of the Xue family.
Without the pressure of debt, Old Mrs. Xue thought again of how Xue Huan had someone throw her out before, and she is still lying in bed unable to get out of bed!
You little bitch, worse than an animal! How dare you lay hands on her breast!
Especially when she heard that Xue Huan's family had gone to the county town and moved into a big house with her son-in-law, Old Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel the resentment in her heart bubbling up.
So, that night, a dark shadow limped quietly towards the Xue family's yard.
This black shadow was none other than Xue Lao San, who was sent by Old Lady Xue again.
After so many days, Xue Laosan's broken leg was barely healed, but it was not fully healed. He was left disabled and could not walk properly.
He did not blame Zhao Feipeng for breaking his leg, but instead blamed Xue Huan's family.
Both mother and son hated the Xue family to the core. After muttering in the house for a while, they decided to take advantage of the fact that the people from the second house were not around, go into the house and move out all the valuables!
When she heard that Xue Huan had sued the casino to the county government, Old Mrs. Xue was worried for a while, fearing that she would be sued as well. However, in the end, nothing happened to her. While she was relieved, her courage was emboldened.
After all, I'm the elder. How dare those second-house bitches sue me too? Are they afraid that the rumors won't drown them?
Relying on such confidence, Old Mrs. Xue now regards the second wife's things as her own, thinking that even if the second wife finds out later that she took the things, she will not be able to do anything to her.
Xue Lao San relied on the fact that his mother would protect him even if something happened, and he approached the second house without any psychological burden.
No one from the second house is here, and the dog is kept by Doctor He. Wouldn't it be easy for him to get in this time?
Once he goes in, all the valuable things in the second house will be his!
Xue Laosan couldn't wait just thinking about it.
He leaned the ladder he carried on his back against the courtyard wall and groped his way up. However, as soon as he touched the top of the wall, he felt thorns on his hand. He screamed in pain and withdrew his hand like lightning.
It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see clearly what was on the wall, but he could roughly guess that it was probably some kind of thorny object used to prevent others from climbing over the wall.
It wasn’t there a few days ago, how come it’s here now?
Xue Laosan cursed and hesitated on the ladder for a long time, but in the end he was reluctant to leave.
The second brother has been a hunter for so many years, and he has raised the second sister-in-law very well. There is also a medicine jar at home that takes medicine all year round. Even so, the family's situation is still better than most families in the village. Who knows how many valuable things are hidden in the house!
Thinking of this, Xue Laosan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took off his outer robe, wrapped it around his hands, slowly stepped onto the top of the wall, and jumped down.
As a result, he jumped into the trap that Xue Huan had dug in advance. The trap was filled with sharp wooden spikes. Xue Laosan misjudged the situation below and fell into the pit. Several holes were poked in his buttocks and blood was flowing out.
He let out a cry of "Ah" and subconsciously pushed to the side. With a "Plop" sound, his palm was pierced.
"ah!"
Xue Laosan was in so much pain that his whole body was breaking.
To teach the thief a lesson, Xue Huan dug a pit that was quite deep, half a person's height. Xue Lao San struggled for a long time but couldn't get out of the pit. Instead, he had several more holes on his body and was bleeding...
At this time, the thorns that had grown as thick as thumbs actually moved on their own and slowly wrapped around Xue Laosan in the pit. The thorns pierced deeply into his flesh and drank his blood.
Before leaving, Xue Huan watered these thorns again with the spiritual spring water that had been used to soak Dahei. Although it was mixed with a lot of Dahei's blood and was already dirty, it was still a spiritual spring water and it would be a pity to throw it away, so she used it to water these thorns.
It might be that the spiritual spring was mixed with blood, causing these thorns to mutate. Not only did the skin become very hard, but the thorns also became sharper, each as long as a thumb, and they also became sensitive to the smell of blood.
Xue Laosan was wrapped in thorns, and his shrill screams could be heard from far away, waking up the nearby villagers, who thought it was haunted.
But after listening for a while, the sound disappeared again. No one had the courage to go out to check, so they continued to sleep.
When her son never came back, Mrs. Xue was very worried, so she asked her eldest son Xue to go and check on him early in the morning.
Only then did Boss Xue realize that his mother and his third brother had done such a thing behind his back. If it had succeeded, it would have been fine, but now his third brother hasn't come back yet. It's obvious that something has happened, and he has to clean up the mess. He feels very unhappy.
He simply pretended not to hear what his mother said. After finishing his meal, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the study to read leisurely.
Old Mrs. Xue cursed loudly in the house, but no one paid any attention to her.
He was a villager on his way to work in the fields. When he passed by Xue's house, he saw a ladder leaning against the wall. Then he saw a person lying at the foot of the wall. How could he not guess what had happened? He was filled with disgust and confusion.
How come a thief is sleeping here when he comes to steal things?
The villagers walked over and took a look. Oh, isn't this Xue Lao San? Why is he covered in blood?
But within the time it took to have breakfast, the news that Xue Lao San went to the second branch of the Xue family to steal something and was stabbed and covered in blood spread.
Of course, Xue Laosan did not crawl out by himself, but was thrown out by the thorns that were soaked with blood.
The thorns, which had been irrigated by the spiritual spring and sucked blood, had obviously acquired a certain degree of spirituality and knew to throw away the "garbage" after eating and drinking.
Xue Laosan is not dead yet, but he is not far from death, after all, he has lost too much blood.
The man was sent to Doctor He, who took one look at him and made a judgment, "He can't be saved. Take him back and prepare for his funeral."
