Chapter 235 They Want Freedom
Chapter 235 They Want Freedom
That's true. It took us half an hour to get here. If there wasn't a carriage, it would take at least one or two hours to transport these things out!
Zhao Qiaoniang took Mulan and the others out directly. Next to the stable in the backyard, there were five carriages lined up in a row, each of which was luxurious.
The most eye-catching carriage was painted in a deep and bright vermilion color.
The body of the car is carefully carved with intricate patterns, and the windows are inlaid with high-quality glass, which is polished smooth and flat.
The seat cushions in the car are made of the softest silk, embroidered with exquisite auspicious patterns, and filled with the finest down.
The wood of the shaft is strong and smooth, and is polished to a shine. The reins connected to it are made of high-quality cowhide and decorated with small silver bells. When the carriage moves, the bells sound crisp and pleasant, echoing in all directions.
Mulan patted the horse and said, "This carriage is really nice!"
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the carriageway and said, "I didn't expect the carriages of wealthy families to be so beautiful."
"It would be great if we could pull this carriage back and give it to Wanwan to use." Cui Ya said in amazement.
"That won't do. It will be terrible if it is discovered. Let's see if it can be used..." Zhao Qiaoniang tried to communicate with the horse, but the horse ignored her.
Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly: "These horses are simply disobedient. Let's just forget it!"
Then I heard the sound of Toffee, and it climbed directly onto the carriage and started communicating with it "squeak squeak squeak".
Unexpectedly, the horse let out a "whoosh" and actually followed Zhao Qiaoniang obediently. To be honest, Zhao Qiaoniang didn't know what Naitang said.
There were several other horses that also followed this horse.
There were five carts in total, plus the ox cart, which made up more than ten carts. Master Bai led a group of people to move the things in the house onto the carts.
Zhao Qiaoniang and her men followed Naitang and kept running. Naitang brought them to a room, quickly groped on the wall at the door of the secret room, and then accurately pressed down on a slightly raised brick.
There was a low sound of a mechanism, and the door of the secret room slowly slid open to both sides.
Zhao Qiaoniang walked down the stairs cautiously, feeling nervous and surprised.
When you step into the secret room, the first thing that catches your eye is rows of tall sandalwood shelves filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
A huge night-shining pearl, shining with brilliant light, was casually placed in an exquisite brocade box.
Under the shelves, boxes of gold and silver ingots were neatly stacked, with the lids half-open, revealing the yellow and white metallic luster inside.
"Oh my god, this corrupt official is so awesome, he actually has so much gold and silver." Mulan was also really surprised.
Zhao Qiaoniang waved her hand and said, "Let's move all these things out! Apart from yellow and white things, there's nothing decent here."
Qian Chengyang really likes gold and silver. There are gold, silver and treasures everywhere, just like a nouveau riche.
After they crawled out of the secret room, Naitang led them forward again, and this time they soon arrived at another warehouse.
When you step into the warehouse, the first thing that catches your eye is the mountains of grain.
The rice grains are full, slender and firm in texture, with a uniform golden color, without any shriveled grains or other colors, and they exude a natural and fresh aroma.
The wheat grains are round and strong, and the wheat aroma is pure and rich.
Each grain of polished rice is crystal clear, flawless white, with a smooth surface and a faint rice fragrance, showing its excellent quality.
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the grain and couldn't help but say, "Excellent! These are all top-quality grains. How could they be so cruel?"
Zhao Qiaoniang waved her hand and said, "Take all these things away."
"Qiao Niang, come and see! These are all top-quality vegetables and fruits." Cui Ya picked up an apple and took a bite. "These apples are really delicious. Look at the whole basket full. Isn't it winter now? Where did you get these apples?"
"Who knows? Hurry up and load it onto the truck and send it out."
There was no peace all night long. The prefect's horse-drawn carriage and ox-drawn cart went back and forth several times, and no one knew what they were doing!
Seeing that the prefect's house was almost empty, Zhao Qiaoniang waved her hand and said, "Let's go! We have a long way to go today!"
There were so many things now that it was impossible to move them without horse-drawn or ox-drawn carts. A group of people took the horse-drawn or ox-drawn carts and headed into the mountains.
There are mountains again in Luoyang. Naitang squeaked and said something to the horses.
After a long while, Milk Tea translated: "Let them go, they want freedom..."
Zhao Qiaoniang untied the reins, and the horses let out a whoosh and ran towards the mountains. Suddenly, they heard a whoosh from the mountains as if in response, and saw a white horse slowly walking out.
Zhao Qiaoniang was stunned: "Cheese, you actually followed me here, you are really amazing."
Cheese circled around Lin Wanwan several times and even stretched his head out to look at her.
Lin Wanwan touched it with her little hand and said, "Cheese, you're so handsome! You've lost a lot of weight recently! Do you want to eat something delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious..." Milk tea translated.
Mrs. Bai quickly took out a large basket of cabbages and immediately started to gobble them up.
It had a very hard time during this period. There was nothing to eat in the mountains, and it didn't dare to go into the deep mountains and forests. When it was hungry, it ate some hay, but hay was not tasty either!
The other horses also gathered around. Li Dongyang frowned and said, "This... you're feeding cabbage to the horses? You're really generous."
"You know shit. After they're full, they have to work." Master Bai said calmly.
After Cheese had eaten and drunk his fill, he looked towards the horses nearby and discovered that the five horses from the prefect's house had not left.
The chestnut horse had a sturdy physique and its eyes were fixed on the cheese.
It paced around the cheese again and again, touching the cheese with its head affectionately from time to time, breathing out warm breath, as if testing and showing goodwill.
Lin Wanwan snorted, this horse is trying to steal the cheese!
Cheese let out a "whoosh" sound and said something to the horse. Then the horse actually followed Cheese obediently.
Milk Tea clucked twice and said, "It's impossible to kidnap Cheese. Cheese asked him to stay, and he agreed."
Lin Wanwan looked at the maroon horse and was speechless. Naitang had already negotiated with the horse to let it go free.
But now that it sees the cheese, the horse is unwilling to move again.
In fact, she didn't want to raise five more horses, she really couldn't afford it!
This was a year of disaster, and that basket of cabbage was already extremely rare. Mrs. Bai tore off the skin of the cabbage and did not give them the core, but this was quite a waste!
But since he insists on staying, I have no choice but to support him.
The harvest this time was very huge. Qian Chengyang was indeed a well-known corrupt official. There were dozens of boxes alone.
Many boxes were filled with gold and silver, which made her completely rich.
