After comforting Brother Ying, Cai Wei felt relieved. Although Brother Ying was just a bird, it had long been considered part of her family. Therefore, she cared about its mood - if it was unhappy or sad, she would feel anxious and guilty. No matter how much effort it took to cheer it up and make it happy, she was willing to put in the work.
After a joyful dinner, Cai Wei took a comfortable soak in the hot spring.
Cai Wei was absolutely delighted!
Since her move here, she had been most concerned about her development. She specifically sought help from a female doctor to massage her, hoping that this would speed up her physical development and transform her into a truly attractive woman.
Heaven did not fail her. Her prayers were finally answered and her body began to develop. This discovery brought her immense joy. She believed that it wouldn’t be long before she would possess a stunning figure, becoming the number one beauty of the Great Jin Nation!
With such a pleasant surprise, Cai Wei was particularly cautious even when sleeping. She was so worried about squashing her body that she slept lightly, only sleeping for about three to four Shi Chen before getting up.
It was already the dead of night and Cai Wei was riding on the back of a white tiger, galloping through the fields in the suburbs.
Up ahead was the home of Li Tieji, a man who was so stingy that he sacrificed pig meat to his ancestors and could not even afford to use a straw mat to wrap his dead grandson.
Brother Ying discovered Li Tieji’s granary and guided Cai Wei past the patrolling housekeepers and inside it. The moment she entered the granary, she was astounded by the mountains of grain inside.
The immense storage contained grain storage units over two meters high and wide enough to be encircled by more than a dozen people. Inside these units were copious amounts of grain, ten times more than what she had acquired in the afternoon!
Cai Wei excitedly walked past these grain units, murmuring, "Get it! Get it! Get it!"
It was not until she finished collecting the grain from the last unit that she sneakily left the granary satisfied, rode on the white tiger, and headed toward the next house...
The home of the old lecher who wanted to dine with her was not as wealthy as Li Tieji’s, but it still had abundant grain, all of which she procured for herself.
The estates she looted were all owned by those who inflated the prices during the day, hoping to trick her into making losing deals. Against these greedy landlords, Cai Wei was ruthless, leaving their granaries completely empty. However, she did not go to extremes - she left all other assets untouched, considering that these landlords were simply avaricious but had not committed any unforgivable sins...
That night, many estates in Lin’an Prefecture were burgled! The abundance of grain accumulated by the landlords was stolen. Strangely, with such a large quantity of grains, how did the thief manage to transport them without making any noise? Especially at Li Tieji’s house - dozens of grain unit loads disappeared overnight without a trace. The thief hadn’t made a single sound or even left a footprint!
The landlords were heartbroken. That grain could have been exchanged for a large amount of silver!
What left them even more aggrieved was that they couldn’t report the theft to the magistrate. Just a few days ago when King Qin passed through this area to purchase grain for his army, the magistrate had asked them to sell their grain at set governmental prices. They, however, used the excuse of ’already sold out, no surplus grain at home’. Now, who would dare to report to the magistrate?
