Chapter 103 Fainted with Anger
Ling Chu had already known the shamelessness of this family, and did not expect them to pay off their debts obediently.
Xia Youxin saw that Xia Daqing not only did not acknowledge the IOUs, but also slandered that he was drunk and signed while he was unconscious.
Xia Youxin's puppet soul hurriedly said to Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, those IOUs are absolutely true, and every word is written by Xia Daqing.
Village Chief Wang recognizes Xia Daqing's handwriting, you can give him the IOUs to help check."
Ling Chu nodded to Xia Youxin, and then said to Xia Daqing, "It is only natural to pay back debts. These documents are all written by you, and there are your signatures and seals on them. You can't deny them if you want to."
"Village Chief Wang, please help me look at these IOUs. Is there any problem?"
Village Chief Wang took the stack of IOUs handed over by Ling Chu, and saw at a glance that it was indeed Xia Daqing's handwriting.
But even with the confirmation of Village Chief Wang, Xia Daqing insisted that Xia Youxin signed it when he was drunk, and refused to admit that he had borrowed money.
Ling Chu sneered, "How can a drunk person write so neatly? Do you want me to get some wine now, get you drunk first, and then try to write the IOU like this?"
Xia Daqing was speechless immediately.
Although he borrowed money from Xia Youxin, he never thought about paying it back.
But in order to gain Xia Youxin's trust and get the money smoothly, he always wrote the IOU in a proper manner and took it to him to borrow money.
Now he can no longer deny that it was written by him, and once he is drunk, he sleeps like a dead person.
Not to mention writing with a pen, he can't wake up even if gongs and drums are beaten in his ears.
Seeing that he was speechless, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into the house to search for silver.
Hu Batian was worried that the money of the Xia family had been searched by Ling Chu, and wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Ling Chu.
"Please wait a moment. First come first served is the rule. Wait until Xia Daqing pays off my maid's debts, and then let him pay your gambling debts."
Although Hu Batian didn't want to agree, he could only be angry but not speak when he saw that Lord Ning was looking at him coldly.
Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into Xia Daqing's room and secretly turned on the system for scanning.
Seeing her walking towards the earthen kang, Xia Daqing wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Wei Feng who was instructed by Ning Chuyi.
There was a cabinet on the kang. Ling Chu took out a small hammer and smashed the lock on it.
Let Xia Zhi take out a box from the cabinet. When he opened it, he found that the house deed, land deed, and two land deeds of Xia Daqing's house were placed in the box.
Xia Daqing looked at the box in Xia Zhi's hand and trembled with heartache.
He wanted to step forward to snatch the box back, but Wei Feng was staring at him intently, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
He could only comfort himself in his heart that if these things were gone, they would be gone, and he still had other money.
Xia Daqing thought they would leave after getting the box, but he saw Ling Chu walk to the left side of the earthen kang, and a bad thought flashed through his mind.
He happened to hear Ling Chu pointing to the wall near the earthen kang and said, "Xia Zhi, come and take this brick away."
Watching Xia Zhi take out the silver bills he had hidden for several years under Ling Chu's instructions, Xia Daqing's heart was bleeding.
"All the valuable things in my family are here, you take them and leave quickly."
Leave?
That's impossible.
The little things they found were not enough to pay off 30% of the debt, so how could they leave.
Ling Chu ignored Xia Daqing and went to Ning Chuyi to borrow a few Jinyiwei, asking them to move another cabinet in the room where several quilts, clothes and other things were piled.
Xia Daqing watched Ling Chu command the Jinyiwei to dig up the ground and dig out the pottery jar hidden underneath. His eyes were bloodshot with anger.
He really wanted to strangle Ling Chu to death.
In the pottery jar, in addition to three jade pendants of decent quality, there were five silver ingots weighing twenty taels and a small piece of gold.
This was the money that Xia Daqing had worked so hard to get, but now it was all gone.
After searching Xia Daqing's house, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into the room where the Xia family stored miscellaneous items.
Xia Zhi saw the room full of miscellaneous items in a mess, and her face was full of confusion, "Girl, the things here are not valuable."
Xia Zhi thought there would be no good things hidden here, but Wei Feng didn't think so.
He followed Ling Chu to search for money several times, knowing that she would not do meaningless things, and guessed that there must be valuable things hidden in this room.
Seeing Ling Chu staring at the pile of miscellaneous items in the room, he couldn't help but walk up and take a closer look.
Ling Chu searched for a while, pointed to a jar with a small hole, and asked Wei Feng to help move it out.
After opening the lid of the jar, Wei Feng saw that the things inside were wrapped in cloth, so he simply turned the jar over and poured out the things inside.
Xia Zhi picked up the package and opened it. There was a set of silver hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, combs, rings, earrings, necklaces, silver bracelets, etc.
In addition to these jewelry, there were more than 100 taels of silver ingots and 50 taels of silver notes.
These things were saved by Liu for many years. She knew that her husband was a gambler and was worried that Xia Daqing would take them away and lose them, so she found a broken pickle jar to pack them and hid them in the utility room.
Unexpectedly, these things were not found by Xia Daqing, but were found by Ling Chu.
Liu was extremely distressed, but she didn't dare to snatch them back.
She was worried that if she did, the puppet souls of Xia Youxin and his wife would attack the child again.
No matter how reluctant she was, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
After searching the utility room, Ling Chu took his men to Xia Dongqiao's house.
Xia Dongqiao is going to marry next month. The most valuable things in his house are the betrothal gifts. Ling Chu waved his hand and asked the Jinyiwei to carry them all out.
Without betrothal gifts, which girl would be willing to marry?
Seeing that the marriage was about to fail, Xia Dongqiao ignored the pain in his legs and rushed forward to stop them, "My father is the debtor. These betrothal gifts are all mine. You can't carry them away."
Xia Zhi spit and cursed, "Xia Dongqiao, you have never done anything, let alone earned a penny. Although these things are purchased by your family, they are bought with my family's money. Now I carry the things away, what reason do you have to stop me?"
Xia Dongqiao was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was also stopped by the Jinyiwei.
After searching Xia Dongqiao's house, Ling Chu did not let go of the house of Liu's daughter and youngest son.
Some valuable things were found one after another.
In the end, only Zhang Pozi's house was left.
Seeing Ling Chu and Xia Zhi enter her room, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly chased them in.
But she was frozen by a talisman cast by Ling Chu.
Ling Chu smashed the lock of the kang cabinet, "Xia Zhi, take this brocade box away."
"There is also a long box under the kang cabinet, with jewelry in it."
"Take apart this cotton jacket, there are silver bills inside."
"Come two people, take apart this bed board, and then dig out this pottery jar."
…
Mrs. Zhang couldn't move, and could only watch Ling Chu and his men search out all the money she had worked so hard to get.
She was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fainted.
