Chapter 267 Three Days Later



Not only were the detectives in Jixiang County thrown into chaos, but the wealthy families with some influence, the shady city foxes and rats, and the dark forces also started to move.

But they dug deep into the entire Jixiang County and still couldn't find any summer rice flowers.

No one has been seen alive, and no body has been seen dead.

It was three days later when the most experienced constable in Jixiang County determined that Xia Daohua had been abducted in a horse-drawn carriage and taken out of Jixiang County.

During these three days, the Xia family shed countless tears.

Jiang was crying so hard that she couldn't speak or even stand. She was completely convinced that Xia Daohua had been kidnapped by human traffickers and perhaps sold to some filthy place...

The child is so good-looking. If he falls into the hands of a bad person, what good will happen to him?

Others tried to persuade him several times but to no avail.

Because those who are trying to persuade others are also nervous and have no idea at all, so naturally, what they say will not be very convincing.

Just when the old couple of the Xia family were discussing whether to buy a coffin for Xia Daohua and put some clothes in for burial, Xia Daohua came back leisurely in a spacious but low-key carriage.

Linghua also followed her, but she looked listless and lacked energy.

The child had been locked in a space supermarket and had been in a coma.

It was not until the space supermarket absorbed new energy and upgraded again that Xia Daohua released it.

At that time, Xia Daohua accidentally complied with the needs of the space supermarket and absorbed Eunuch Wei's beloved jade bonsai.

Eunuch Wei witnessed with his own eyes that Xia Daohua put her hand on the bonsai and gently brushed it, and the bonsai turned into a pile of powder, and he fainted on the spot with fright.

When he woke up, his face was covered with snot and tears. He begged for mercy again and again, and kept asking Xia Daohua to take the seat.

Seeing him so scared, Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel playful.

So he smiled and said to him that he had only come to the mortal world to experience hardships, and when the time came to leave, he would leave naturally, so he didn't need to worry too much.

He also told him that the emperor was the Son of Heaven, and as long as he was not provoked, he would not take the initiative to oppose the emperor.

Eunuch Wei's face turned pale and blue, and his expression was unpredictable, but he believed in Xia Daohua's words without a doubt.

He could still tell whether it was an illusion or a miracle.

He had just acquired the jade bonsai, a private gift from a minister seeking official office. He had already had it appraised and it was confirmed to be top-quality Lantian jade.

White jade is popular nowadays, but the best ancient blue sky jade is even rarer than white jade because an earthquake occurred in the Lantian jade mine more than a thousand years ago.

Since then, the mines have collapsed, the jade seedlings have been cut off, and the real Lantian jade has become extinct in the world.

Unless you can find antiques that occasionally come out, you may still get one or two treasures; if you want to find newly mined ones, you are likely to find only fakes.

That little girl, Xia Daohua, just casually flicked her hand, and the ancient jade bonsai of blue sky with its overlapping mountains turned into a pile of fine powder...

If this isn't magical, what else could it be?

After all, even the masters of the palace around the emperor don’t have this skill!

Eunuch Wei had many weaknesses. He was greedy for money, he valued his life, he loved flattery, he was loyal to the emperor... every one of them could be exploited.

When Eunuch Wei came to investigate Xia Daohua, his first priority was to find out where Xia Daohua had purchased such a large batch of grain; and whether Xia Daohua was a member of the Prince of Huai'an's household.

The second is to find out whether the Prince of Huai'an is colluding with Magistrate Yang;

The third thing is to find out how long County Magistrate Yang and Wang plan to stay in Jixiang County.

These things were not investigated by the emperor, but he took the initiative to find out.

If Xia Daohua was an ordinary person, he would take this source of wealth for himself; if Xia Daohua was a man of Prince Huai'an, he would report the collusion between County Magistrate Yang and Prince Huai'an to the emperor.

Now, Xia Daohua's accidental revelation made him feel that there was no need to investigate further. The grain they had taken out must have been obtained through divine means.

When Eunuch Wei saw Xia Daohua flip her wrist and Linghua appeared out of thin air, the shock he felt was indescribable.

Any remaining doubts have now completely disappeared.

Eunuch Wei completely believed Xia Daohua's hint of a "goddess who had descended to earth to experience tribulations." He was also so frightened by his own bold actions that had offended the "goddess" that he was trembling all over and could barely speak clearly.

Seeing that Eunuch Wei was very frightened, Xia Daohua tried to comfort him with soft words.

After comforting him for a few words, he asked him some questions and learned some information about the political structure of the Great Chu Dynasty.

It was a cliché, but because Eunuch Wei was too cooperative, he told her everything he knew, and although Xia Daohua's horizons were broadened, she felt no sense of accomplishment.

Afterwards, Eunuch Wei treated Xia Daohua and Linghua to delicious food and drinks, and then sent his men to drive Xia Daohua and Linghua back to Jixiang County.

When the Xia family saw their two lost children, their first reaction was to cry. They cried uncontrollably in excitement.

Especially Zhou, Jiang and Xia Yujiao, the tears they shed could almost drown Xia Daohua.

Xia Yujiao, standing far away, covered her face with a handkerchief, crying silently. Zhou was not one to shed tears, but for some reason she broke the rules this time.

If Jiang had not been there, Xia Daohua would have suspected that Zhou had traveled through time with Jiang!

Jiang almost collapsed on Xia Daohua in tears, reaching out and pinching her arm fiercely: "You damned girl! You still remembered to come back! You scared your mother to death! You scared me to death, do you know that?"

Others were also excited and incoherent.

Old Master Xia's eyes also turned red, and he expressed the thoughts of almost everyone in the Xia family: "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

County Magistrate Yang and Wang were quite calm. When they saw Xia Daohua and Linghua returning in the carriage and the clothes the driver was wearing, they basically knew what was going on.

They withdrew the manpower that had turned the entire county upside down and quietly returned to the county government office, leaving the Jiang family some space to be alone.

Only the head maid Sixi was left behind to help if anything happened.

Those city foxes and rats were also deeply impressed by the two girls of the Xia family, especially the one named Xia Daohua.

Without being told by anyone, they took the opportunity to get to know the other members of the Xia family.

They were afraid that some scoundrel who cared more about money than his life would offend this family and provoke the wrong people, and then implicate them all.

After getting to know the Xia family, especially the people from the fourth branch of the Xia family, these people suddenly felt that this cautious move was absolutely correct!

Everyone in this family is outstanding in appearance.

Xia Lihua, Xia Wulang, Xia Daohua, and Xia Linghua, any one of them is an outstanding beauty when taken alone, but when they are put together, they are even more eye-catching.

It’s hard not to be targeted by those beggars!
