Chapter 298 I Want It So Much



Seeing that the guards were lax, Cai Ping gritted her teeth and ran to Cai Chuanbai's study, opened the secret room that Quan Xiangrong knew nothing about, and took away several of the most precious medical books and other things passed down from Cai's ancestors. She ran away in a hurry without even bothering to restore them to their original state. After successfully escaping from Cai's house, she found out that the person who secretly helped her was Bian Zian.

She said, when did there become so few guards at home? It turned out that Bian Zian was helping her.

Looking at her former friend and admirer, Cai Ping only showed a bitter smile, and without hesitation boarded the small boat in the night, heading towards the place where she was born and raised.

Bian Zian was worried, so he sent people to clean up the traces along the way and to stop the people sent by Quan Xiangrong.

When Cai Ping escaped from home, her belly was almost four months old. It was autumn at the time and she was already very thin. Her belly was completely invisible under her baggy clothes. It was not until she fled to Jiangsu Province that she found a fellow villager's home and sent the baby away with a bowl of medicine.

Cai Ping buried the child at the foot of the mountain with her own hands and continued to flee north without any rest.

The organization investigated her escape route and guessed that Cai Ping wanted to return to the Cai family's old house in Beijing. However, after arriving in Beijing, she found out that the houses had been reclaimed by the state. She was homeless and had no money on her, so she could only continue to hide.

Before Quan Xiangrong's men caught up with her again, she boarded a train bound for Liao Province. Perhaps it was fate's plan, but she accidentally stumbled into the mountains.

When Tian Erya was picked up, she had already lived in Beishan for more than a year. After that, the master and apprentice depended on each other. Those were the most peaceful years after Cai Ping fled from Gangcheng.

At the end of the document, it was written that the Cai family was said to have an ancestral treasure that could revive the dead. However, only the head of the family in each generation knew what this thing was, and each head of the family would only pass it on to the next generation before his death. Outsiders had no way of knowing, and they didn't even know what it looked like.

All I know is that it is because of it that the Cai family has been able to stand for a hundred years.

Quan Xiangrong had also heard of this rumor. He didn't believe it at first, but after Cai Chuanbai passed away, the efficacy of Cai's medicine plummeted, which made him believe in this statement instead. Otherwise, how could he explain the same prescription and the same method of preparation, but the efficacy was so different.

Cai Chuanbai left nothing behind, so Quan Xiangrong searched his bedroom and study inside and out many times but still found nothing. Finally, he turned his suspicion to Cai Ping.

Later, Cai Ping escaped and Quan Xiangrong sent people to chase her. Initially, they had to bring back Cai Ping and all her belongings. Later, the order became to just bring back the belongings. As for Cai Ping, as long as the belongings were there, it didn't matter whether she was alive or not.

Later, Quan Xiangrong found a few words about this thing in a book in the Cai family's secret room, "flawless white jade, round and smooth jade bead". He suddenly remembered the white jade bead on Cai Ping's neck, which she had been wearing since Cai Chuanbai's death.

He asked her at that time, and she said that this thing was given to her by her father. Quan Xiangrong just thought it was an ordinary jade bead, but now he knows what kind of thing he had missed.

Afterwards, they increased their manpower to track down Tsai Ping's whereabouts.

After Cai Ping fled, the Cai family was left with only an outsider, Quan Xiangrong, to make the decision. Without Cai Chuanbai, the Cai family's pills no longer had any advantage over their peers, and their status plummeted. Everyone only said that the Cai family was the reincarnation of the God of Medicine. How could a villain like him, who had usurped the throne, replace them?

The Cai family's medicines are all magical and can only exert their greatest effectiveness in the hands of the Cai family. They will never let a villain reap the benefits, so they have cancelled their orders with the Cai family. Some families would rather lose some money than buy the Cai family's pills again.

Later, the current situation there was introduced. In recent years, the Cai family can only be regarded as a low-ranking family in Hong Kong City. Quan Xiangrong has not given up. He always feels that if he finds Cai Ping's heirloom, he can still make a comeback. Therefore, he has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in recent years, and cooperated with government departments to train special personnel and send them to the country. On the one hand, he steals state secrets, and on the other hand, he searches for Cai Ping's whereabouts.

"The Cai family has fallen on hard times, so how come Quan Xiangrong still has money to support the government in cultivating special talents?" Tian Cai frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Commander Yu smiled and shook his head, "You don't understand this. Don't underestimate the wealth of the family. You should know that the Xinan Campaign was supported by a local tycoon who paid half of his fortune, and that was only half of his fortune.

The difference between aristocratic families and the super-rich is that one is wealthy in public, while the other is wealthy in secret. Besides, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. When Cai Ping fled from Hong Kong City, she only took a tiny amount with her. The rest was in the hands of her son-in-law.

Tian Cai suddenly understood. No wonder he had read in novels before that the contradiction between the aristocratic families and the royal family was irreconcilable. Most of the country's wealth was in the hands of certain people. The emperor was not as rich as the aristocratic families, and he had to support so many people. Every time he spent money, the Ministry of Revenue would follow him and nag him. How could he feel happy?

In this regard, has there been no change from ancient times to the present, and is it also applicable today?

She glanced at Teacher Yu quietly, and Teacher Yu looked back at her with a smile and nodded.

Tian Cai turned his wide eyes back on, hmm, it seemed like he knew some secrets that he shouldn't know.

No wonder the wealthy and powerful families moved to Hong Kong City one after another, and those who did not move donated most of their property. So that's why.

Tian Cai thought about what happened before, "Were the three special agents from Qingshan Village also sent by Quan Xiangrong?"

"It may not be Quan Xiangrong, but it is certain that they were sent by Gangcheng. They also had a base in the county that was also taken down. Now that yard is still empty. Are you interested?"

Tian Cai opened her eyes wide. Why did he ask her if she was interested in the yard? Could he give it to her if she was interested?

Division Commander Yu's face was wrinkled with laughter. He was always in a good mood when he saw the rich expression on Tian Cai's little face. Seeing that her eyes were almost popping out of her head, he stopped playing suspense and said with a smile, "You really don't know the contribution you have made. Let's not talk about your two kinds of powder. You saved so many soldiers at the border and you should be rewarded according to your merits. But the higher-ups don't have much money to give you right now. I think it would be better to give you some real estate. Of course, it can't just be real estate in our small county. It has to be at least in Beijing."

Tian Cai opened her mouth into an O shape. Oh my god, who would have believed that she could actually buy a property in Beijing!!!

Although she had no interest in living in a smog-stricken area in the future, it meant money. Tian Cai felt that becoming rich overnight was no longer a dream.

What’s more, what is Beijing like now? It will be within the Third Ring Road in the future. What is the price of an apartment within the Third Ring Road? It will be sky-high!

She hesitated and said, "It seems, it doesn't seem right for me to just ask for it."

What should I do? I can’t even say the word “no”. I want it so badly, I want it so badly!
