Chapter 367 Nothing is a coincidence
I had heard from my aunt before that Mr. Qian was a very stingy person. He felt sad to give away such a huge family fortune.
He ordered another carriage to be brought in, which was filled with stuff. He also found two boxes, put all his belongings in the smaller box, locked it several times, and hid it in a secret compartment in the carriage.
He sat in the carriage, looking forward to his future life, and couldn't help but chuckle.
But just as the Qian family servant opened the back door, several officers rushed in with long swords in hand.
"Master Qian, my master wants to see you. Please come with us."
"..."
When Mr. Qian heard the officer's voice, his heart sank.
How could that be? Wasn't there a plague in town? How did they have time to come looking for him?
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had not loaded that truck of things just now, would the result be different?
When he lifted the curtain and saw the gleaming weapons, he pretended to be calm and asked with a smile:
"Oh, what happened? This guy brandishing a sword and a gun really scared Qian."
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of the car and follow us."
The few of them didn't have time to beat around the bush with him, so the leader took direct action, pulled him off the carriage, and took him away.
After Master Qian left, the Qian family fell into chaos. The concubine in the backyard sneaked away through the corner door with her confidant, and the servants also fled outside with their bags.
In the courtyard, Qian Wanyi, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, stood with her hands on her hips and yelled:
"You bunch of despicable things, get back here!
Do you want the indenture contract? When my father comes back, I will sell you to the mountains!"
The servants of the Qian family hate their eldest daughter to the core. Even at this time, she still wants to threaten them?
It’s just a contract to sell your body, just grab it!
They packed up all of Mr. Qian's things. Two servants climbed onto the carriage and searched it.
Except for the banknotes in the secret compartment, everything else was taken down.
"These jewels are worth a lot of silver. Let's divide them up! Use the silver to redeem yourself!"
This is everyone's indenture, take it and run!"
Everyone rushed forward, each grabbed a handful of jewelry and small change, asked those who could read to find their indentures, kicked Qian Wanyi hard twice, and soon disappeared.
In just a quarter of an hour, the arrogant and domineering eldest daughter had a bruised face and nose.
She wanted to step forward to stop them, but how could one person fight against so many people? The Qian Mansion was empty, leaving her alone sitting on the ground, sobbing.
“Tsk tsk tsk, that’s so pitiful to look at.
But they left one thing behind. The secret compartment in the carriage contains all the rich master's belongings. I'll go get it out, hehe..."
"Master, you didn't let him go either."
Just now, Qian Wanyi stumbled to the front yard. There was no one there, so Song An Ning dived into the carriage, turned back into himself, and started knocking on the secret compartment.
The gold, silver and treasures were right in front of him, but he just couldn't take them out. Song An Ning was a little anxious and sat in the car to look at them carefully.
She had just followed Zhou Nanxing, and when she came back, Mr. Qian had already put the silver in the secret compartment. Xiangxiang said there was a mechanism here and she was analyzing where the switch was.
The carriage was decorated very simply, with only the middle armrest being somewhat luxurious, with a few jade stones inlaid on it.
She stretched out her hand and pressed each jade stone until she pressed the most inconspicuous little stone in the corner. With a click, a secret compartment appeared.
"Wow! Master is so smart. You found it before Xiangxiang finished analyzing it."
"Don't flatter me, just take the box with you. Let's go check on Zhu Yuan."
After putting the wooden box into her backpack, Song Anning flew happily. She took a walk around the town and found everything was normal. She turned around and flew towards the government office. She could hear quarrels from a long distance away.
It was the same lady we had just seen. She held the knife to Zhu Yuan's neck and shouted loudly:
"It's you! It's you!
The medicine and supplements my master takes are all sent by you.
Now that people have become like this, you cannot escape blame.
Find a doctor right away. If anything happens to him, you'll all be buried with him!"
Mr. Qian knelt on the ground, almost pissing himself in fear, and kept shaking his head to explain:
"No, it wasn't me. It was my new wife who did it. Her family used to run Huichuntang and they know how to heal illnesses. She was the one who made all those medicines.
Besides, she is the one who manages the pharmacy, I don’t know anything about it.”
Mr. Qian looked sincere, but the lady didn't buy it at all. She sneered and gripped the knife tighter.
"Hehe, that's not what you said before.
You said that the medicines our master took were all developed by you working tirelessly, and I have never heard you mention Madam Qian.
Besides, doesn't your wife run a jewelry store? I've even bought something there, so don't lie to me."
Mrs. Zhu Yuan saw that Mr. Qian was useless, so she looked at him with disdain, called the officials, and said angrily:
"Come here, this man poisoned the master, arrest him and put him in jail.
Don't give him any food until the master gets better!
Go find some more doctors, the more the better, we have plenty of money!"
Mr. Qian's legs had been broken by the officers, and he was trembling with pain. He kept wailing and begging for mercy. After he was dragged away, the lady continued to give orders:
"Catch that young mistress from the Qian family. She's no good either. Kill her!"
After receiving the order, the officials and servants ran out and went about their business.
Song An Ning was squatting on the roof, counting money with Xiangxiang.
"Ten thousand taels, twenty thousand taels, fifty thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels...
Wow, the master made a lot of money, more than 200,000 taels of silver, all obtained by sucking the blood of the common people.
What’s even more coincidental is that the silver in the box is almost the same as the money the owner spent on buying medicinal flowers this time.”
“There is no coincidence in the world…
Mr. Qian became rich because of the plague thirty years ago. He sold grain at a high price and made his first fortune.
This time, he went even further, raising the price of even the most common medicine several times, and still wanted to get away with it. This is unforgivable."
Song An Ning sighed, everything in the world has cause and effect.
What a whirlwind of fortune, who can escape the fate?
He made his fortune because of the natural disaster, but fell into poverty because of this plague, and even lost his life...
After this matter is over, she will tell her sister-in-law about what happened to Mr. Qian.
"Sister-in-law..."
Thinking of home, Song Anning looked at the time and exploded on the spot.
"Ahhh, it's already noon!
If I come out without saying hello to my family, my mother will beat me to death!
Go home, go home, use the teleport card to go back!"
She hasn't been back since she left last night, and her family must be worried.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard the system alarm sound:
"Ding ding ding, Zhu Yuan is offline!
Ding ding ding, the puppets from Qingshi Village have sent the latest news! "
"..."
