When Tao Ran rushed back to the other courtyard, everyone in Zuiyue Tower had been captured.
Even so, after the Dongchuang incident, the most Qian Feng owed Zuiyuelou was three thousand taels. Taking into account the one thousand taels Tao Ran had already paid, the most he could have paid Zuiyuelou was two thousand taels plus some medical treatment.
It’s just a fee, so how could Zuiyuelou claim for up to 20,000 taels?
Hey, who told Tao Ran that he wanted to make the Qian family bear debt that would make them unable to survive?
At that time, Tao Ran raised his arms and shouted, brothers, take away all the bodies and valuables in Zuiyue Tower! There is no need to pity them, because in the end the Qian family will foot the bill.
Tao Ran clicked his tongue twice.
She couldn't help laughing.
She wanted to drool! It wasn't because the girls were so pretty, but because of the... gleaming, colorful lights on the girls' bodies.
These ten girls who came are all the top names of Zuiyue Tower, representing the appearance of Zuiyue Tower. Which one is not covered with gold and green? Which one is not graceful and luxurious?
The one we are entertaining tonight is a wealthy man who spends a lot of money. With such a big customer, he doesn’t want to lose his dignity and wants to try to catch up with him, so when he comes this time, which girl doesn’t get her best jewelry?
Just imagine, if all these dazzling jewels could be captured... Tao Ran's design and adventure would not be in vain, and Qian Feng, the prisoner, would also be brought to the provincial capital to have fun.
It was also because Tao Ran had already included this amount in the harvest that he was willing to pay a deposit of a thousand taels of silver at Zuiyue Tower. Compared with the harvest, what did the cost they paid count?
So in the next fifteen minutes, there were all kinds of robberies.
All the pearls and emeralds from all the girls were collected from beginning to end, even their clothes and shoes were not spared. The silks and satins were all embroidered with gold threads and inlaid with jewels. Taking them back and taking them apart was also a huge gain.
The same goes for the maids. When they go out, they represent the facades of the four famous buildings. Almost every maid has one or two gold bracelets. Take them all!
Tao Ran also searched their bodies for them. They also found banknotes in several sachets, which was another source of income.
Then there are the musical instruments brought by these girls. Flute, guqin, pipa... Since they are for performance purposes, they need to be gorgeous and colorful. Most of them are specially made and decorated with gold, silver and precious stones. They are all expensive goods!
The brothers are also very busy.
Some of them were getting back the bounty they had just given out, some were starting to deal with the carriages brought by Zuiyuelou people and others, leaving behind the valuables and horses in the carriages, and some were already starting to move at night.
Everyone comes to the Qian Family Courtyard.
Are they just waiting here for dark this afternoon?
They had already packed up the valuable things in the study room and various courtyards, and what they needed to do now was to move them. It happened that they had the house bought by the local Taoist priest.
Anyway, it's empty, so I secretly put the stolen goods over there without anyone noticing...
Qian Feng was dragged by Tao Ran to the imperial concubine's bed in the flower hall.
He was fed a few more mouthfuls of water, and he thought he wouldn't be able to wake up before tomorrow...
Tao Ran dragged another girl to his side.
Then, she took out an IOU.
This is what the madam took out when she went to see Mrs. Qian later. It had been stamped with Qian Feng's stamp and handprint in advance. Tao Ran had already prepared it.
Alas! The Qian family was also unlucky. When Qian Feng left home to find his parents, he never thought of coming back soon, so among the things he took away was his personal stamp.
Tao Ran found this thing, how could he not make the best use of it?
No, it worked! She directly made an IOU.
She stuffed this IOU directly into the underwear of the girl next to Qian Feng. The girl was so panicked when she woke up that she would definitely find out.
With such a thing, it is a proof written in black and white, which can at least help her get a sum of money from Qian Fengduo...
After the brothers over there were already busy, Tao Ran arranged for them to evacuate to the Taoist priest's house.
Soon, they
Most of the people left.
Tao Ran started to do something, which was destined to double the Qian family's losses.
She took out a dagger and cut each girl's face once or twice.
She is quite careful.
The wound is bloody but not deep and will not disfigure the face, but it will take five to ten days to return to a traceless state. These girls rely on their face to survive, and if their face is injured, they will not be able to receive customers. This is irritating to them.
will be huge.
And they are the pillars of Zuiyue Tower. If the top ten are all injured, how many girls are left in Zuiyue Tower? Doesn’t this mean that in the next five to ten days, Zuiyue Tower will have to close down?
?What kind of loss should this be to Zuiyue Tower?
So neither these girls nor Zuiyuelou will give up!
After doing this, Tao Ran ran away on a fast horse.
When Tao Ran went to Zuiyue Tower to pay the deposit, it was agreed that there would be a banquet at Zishi, and the girls would be back at Chou hour at the latest. Seeing that Chou hour was over at Zuiyue Tower and no one came back, the Madam went to hurry up.
After prompting, I found out that no one responded to the address on the paper. It was quiet and there was no movement at all.
The madam panicked and took the people there herself.
After breaking open the door, I finally knew something was wrong.
Seeing that all the girls in her family had been slashed in the face and robbed of their belongings, the madam howled in various ways. Someone was ruining her business and killing her way to survive. She vowed to seek justice.
Then comes the reporting officer.
They kept tossing until almost dawn, when the girls woke up.
After some questioning, they all said that they only drank three glasses of wine from their master before they fainted. Obviously, they were drugged by their master. This matter is inseparable from the master's family.
They also discovered that all the servants and guests in the mansion were gone. Instead, there was a man with injuries all over his body.
Searching the man, the seal dropped, is he Qian Feng?
Are you Qian Feng, the eldest son of the Qian family? After Qian Feng woke up, some officers and soldiers asked him this.
One of Qian Feng's memories was that he was in the deep mountains and old forests. He had no idea what happened last night. Now when he looked at the environment, he thought he had been successfully rescued, and his eyes immediately burst into tears.
Officer and Soldier: Where are the servants and guests of this house?
Qian Feng shook his head: What did you say?
Where are your people? Why are you, the young master, here alone? Where have those people gone?
My man... I don't know. Maybe he was released by the robbers. Xu returned to Qian's house.
But the madam got angry and slapped Qian Feng: Who are you talking about, pretending to be crazy? Where are the robbers from? Are you trying to default on your debt?
Who are you? Why are you beating me? Qian Feng said angrily. I don’t know what you are talking about. Where are you? Where are the kidnappers? How was I rescued? Did you go to Qian’s house to notify anyone?
The officers and soldiers stopped the angry madam who was calling for someone to teach Qian Feng a lesson, and explained to Qian Feng that no matter how he played last night, he must pay the money and make compensation immediately.
It’s not me! You are mistaken! Qian Feng denied it flatly: I was kidnapped. What you said may have been done by the kidnappers and has nothing to do with me!
But the madam doesn’t believe it!
She pounced again.
This is your villa, right? Your name is Qian Feng, right? My man got into trouble here, right? This IOU is your fingerprint and seal, right? The girl who came to pay the deposit yesterday also had your family’s order.
Is it a card? How dare you lie?
The madam waved her hand and signaled to her thugs: Give it to me!
