The Xie family's masters had been crying and yelling all morning, creating a chaotic scene that gave him a headache. Besides feeling bad about the stolen items, County Magistrate Xie's biggest headache was actually the loss of face.
At this moment, he had not noticed that the secret compartment in his own secret room was also not protected.
It was not until he borrowed two pots from his neighbors, some firewood and rice, and shamelessly asked for a few side dishes, cooked some porridge, and had a rough breakfast that County Magistrate Xie suddenly realized that the secret compartments in his study and bedroom had been touched.
Some important letters, account books and black materials that he had secretly hidden in the secret compartment also disappeared.
County Magistrate Xie was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Where was the trace of his usual dashing image left?
A layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and nose, his face turned blue, his lips trembled, and he spoke incoherently: "Come, come! Come quickly! Go and invite Madam, Madam, Dalang, and Qi Niang!"
Before Mrs. Xie, Xie Dalang and Xie Qinniang came over, County Magistrate Xie had been sitting on the ground sifting chaff.
He discovered that not only were these deadly things lost, but his county magistrate's seal was also missing.
Seeing County Magistrate Xie in such a miserable state, Mrs. Xie, Xie Dalang, and Seventh Miss Xie Fanglan were all angry, amused, distressed, and couldn't help but want to curse, "You deserve it."
Mrs. Xie habitually called the maid to fetch water for Magistrate Xie to wash his face, but the maid stammered in reply:
"The basins and soft cloths in my house were also stolen... If I wanted to wash, I could only go to the lotus pond or the fragrance pavilion and wash in the running water..."
The maidservant's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She didn't want to bring up something unrelated, but her master asked her to fetch water. She had no basin or bucket, and couldn't even find a gourd ladle. How could she fetch water?
Mrs. Xie's face turned gloomy and Xie Fanglan's face turned red.
She could feel that the targeting here was too obvious!
Apart from anything else, who would want these soft cloth face towels, washbasins, foot basins and the like?
Even if someone really wants to buy it, it won’t sell for a high price.
It is trivial and troublesome, and cannot be sold at a high price. Who would take away such worthless and troublesome things?
This was a slap in the face! A blatant slap in the face! Moreover, in this situation, if it weren't for Daddy's political enemies stirring things up in the dark, they would definitely be targeting me!
I don’t have many enemies, and the one who is closest and most likely to do this is Xia Daohua!
However, Xie Fanglan racked her brains but couldn't figure out how Xia Daohua did it.
What's more, she probably had no idea of her plan at all.
It’s such a small thing that Xia Jia Wulang met a girl who liked him.
To solve this problem, he can marry a wife, take a concubine, or be indifferent, turn a blind eye, and not say a word...
No matter what, if Cai Que had not betrayed him, the Xia family would never have known about his plan.
Even if Caique betrayed him, the Xia family would not be able to guess what their plan was!
Cai Que was still unconscious. It wasn't that Xie Fanglan was too sympathetic to want to wake her up by pouring cold water on her. It was because of a sudden change in the family that Xie Fanglan's attention was focused on the fact that her whole family had been robbed.
Her brain was churning furiously, her CPU was running so fast it was about to smoke, and she simply couldn't spare the time to deal with a maid.
He plotted against the Xia family and provoked their revenge - the idea was reasonable, but the process was irrational no matter how he looked at it.
The Xia family was not really caught in my plan, and they didn't suffer any losses. They might not even be aware of my plan. How could they do such a thing so casually?
To pull off such an incredible feat, how much power would be needed? How many people and vehicles would be deployed? How much more work would be required to clean up afterward?
Unless, they just leave the stolen goods alone and don't sell them.
But even if she didn't sell the stolen goods, she still had to find a safe place to hide them. Otherwise, if her tracks were exposed and she fell into Daddy's hands, could she still expect Daddy to let her off easily?
Xie Fanglan went around in circles and finally got herself into trouble.
After much deliberation, she reluctantly ruled out Xia Daohua as a suspect. Xie Fanglan was more inclined to believe that these things were done by Magistrate Xie's political enemies.
But this doesn’t make sense.
If he was truly an enemy of County Magistrate Xie, all he had to do was find his father's secret compartment. At most, out of greed, he might reach out to the family's gold and silver.
But it is unlikely that you can pack up and take away all these trivial daily necessities!
Several concubines of County Magistrate Xie lost many valuable jewelries and private silver. They wanted to find their master, County Magistrate Xie, immediately to cry and complain, and to pry out as much silver as possible to make up for their heart-wrenching losses.
However, County Magistrate Xie was particularly difficult to talk to today.
Not only was he in no mood to listen to their crying, he even adopted the advice of the seventh lady Xie Fanglan and sold them all!
There was no way. This was the first time in County Magistrate Xie's life that he had lived such a miserable life.
There is not a penny in my purse, but my pocket is cleaner than my face - even the washbasin and face towel are lost, how can my pocket not be cleaner than my face?
Xie Fanglan was already furious, and seeing that County Magistrate Xie's concubines were still ignorant and were trying to take advantage of her, she naturally had no reason to let them go easily.
My house was robbed and I'm short of money, so I'm just selling these fancy things to deal with the emergency!
This is a great opportunity.
On ordinary days, she had to find excuses to sell these concubines and had to worry about her father's opposition.
But at this moment, the family had no money at all. The thin porridge they drank in the morning was cooked by borrowing pots, rice, and firewood from their neighbors. At this moment, the only thing they could exchange for money was these concubines!
Xie Fanglan ordered her servants to call the pawnbrokers from the pawnbrokerage office, who found fault with the concubines of her father, County Magistrate Xie, and sold them all except the three who had given birth to children.
Xie Fanglan deeply hated their jealousy and quarrels, which made the Xie family's backyard a mess and made her mother sick several times. Therefore, it didn't matter where they sold the people, as long as the price was high enough.
The human trafficker happily left the Xie family's gate with twelve beautiful women.
These women, usually pampered, with delicate bodies and a life of luxury, have pretty faces, fair skin, and graceful figures. But now that they’ve been sold, they cry so beautifully...
I believe it can be sold at a good price and make a lot of money!
This trip was really the right one!
However, in the past, Lord Xie’s family only bought people, not sold them.
He didn't have the chance to go into the house just now and could only look at the goods in the yard. Now that he thinks about it, there is something really wrong.
