Chapter 902: Chapter 902 Still for the Treasure_1 Chapter 902: Chapter 902 Still for the Treasure_1 Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang’s family didn’t sit with the coachmen and servants. Tong Sanlang got to work, chopping some thick branches from the trees and tying them together with hemp rope, then he used his light-footed skills to return and fetched several blankets to throw on top, creating three very basic tents.
He also brought back three wooden planks and several bags of wheat straw, which is used for feeding cattle and sheep, now spread over the wood to serve as mattresses.
In the three tents, Qiao Changshun, Zhuang Lühe, and Qiao Dami each lay in one; Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi shared another; and Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai were in the last one.
As for Qiao Qinghe, he had already become a vegetative person, so it was better for him to continue lying inside the house.
Lying on the straw, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang huddled together, exchanging information in hushed tones.
Since the incident occurred, they had calmed down and could now review everything from beginning to end.
Firstly, it was Cen Hongping and Yang Wang who, as if aided by divine power, secretly obtained the explosives.
Then, undetected, they buried these explosives in the manor’s backyard.
Then came the snowfall, and someone suggested coming over to hunt.
During the hunt, which was today, Qiu Ying’s coachman Yuanbao inadvertently ignited the explosives.
The explosives detonated, and now a group of people were stuck, unable to leave, and the manor was uninhabitable.
This was all the information they knew, including their guesses.
“Following this line of thought, there’s something I don’t understand. If Cen Hongping and Yang Wang’s intention was to blow us two up, then why have Yuanbao ignite the explosives?” Qiao Xiaomai whispered in Tong Sanlang’s ear.
“Yuanbao took the initiative to light the explosives, which means their intention wasn’t to kill us. If it’s not our lives they’re after, then what they want must be the treasure,” Tong Sanlang muttered back into Qiao Xiaomai’s ear.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Grinding her teeth, she couldn’t help but swear coarsely, “F*ck, what the hell do we have to do with the treasure?”
“The treasure isn’t here, damn it!”
Tong Sanlang gently patted her back and soothed her in a soft voice, “Yeah, those two are nuts. Who knows what they’re thinking.”
“In any case, their purpose only comes down to two things, either they want our lives or they’re still after the treasure.”
“Could it be they think we’ve already moved the treasure under the manor?” Qiao Xiaomai mused, unable to stop her eyes from widening at the thought.
Following the insane logic of those two, this possibility seemed very likely!
Tong Sanlang shared this view, letting out a soft sigh, “Before, they dug a large trench around our village under the guise of preventing the treasure from being quietly moved underground.”
“Later, the retired emperor came, and they filled in that trench, but it seems they haven’t given up, firmly believing there are mechanisms hidden beneath our village.”
“So?” Qiao Xiaomai’s chest heaved with intensity at the thought of these two men’s intentions.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang quickly patted her back to comfort her, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. That Yuanbao won’t get away with it. We definitely won’t let him dig up our home. We’ll interrogate him harshly.”
“If they dare to touch my manor with a shovel, I’ll make sure they don’t live to see the New Year! These two should explode on the spot!” Qiao Xiaomai’s teeth grated with rage.
This manor had taken nearly half a year to build, and it had consumed countless amounts of her energy and quite a bit of silver.
Now, Cen Hongping and Yang Wang had their sights set on the manor, and she would not let them have their way!
