Chapter Twenty-Three Pressing Step by Step(2/2)
Not long after, the servants of the Hou Mansion who were sued by the people were arrested one by one.
As for Miao San... this guy was indeed in Hou Mansion. After hearing the movement, he felt something was wrong and was about to slip away from the back door.
Unexpectedly, there were also guards at the back door, and the kid was caught as soon as he got out.
In the end, more than 40 people were arrested, one of whom was not a servant, but Xia Xingping's nephew, named Xia Houzhi and nicknamed Monkey.
As his name suggests, he is extremely restless all day long, jumping up and down, and pretending to be a tiger's power.
At that time, many people sued this boy, which was full of crimes.
This is also a typical example of Mo Ziming's intentional arrest. After all, the servants of the Hou Mansion may not have touched Xia Xingping enough.
"You let me go? Do you know who this young master is?"
What’s ridiculous is that Xia Houzhi’s attitude was still very arrogant after being arrested.
As a result, he was slapped on the spot and became honest all of a sudden.
However, after escorting out and seeing Xia Xingping, the boy began to yell again: "Second uncle, second uncle save me..."
When Xia Xingping saw that he had even arrested his nephew, he had been holding back for a long time and finally burst out again.
"Master Mo, do you have to be in trouble with me?"
"Mr. Xia Hou, what do you mean by saying this? What does it mean to be in trouble with you? Are you a guest of this official?
Also, please pay attention to your attitude towards speaking.
You have to know clearly that this official is not a local official in Liangzhou.”
"Haha, Lord Mo, you are really so majestic. OK, very good, let's take a look!"
Xia Xingping laughed in anger, then turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Mo Ziming shouted at his back: "Mr. Xia Hou, I still have many complaints in my hands. I can't tell you when I will come here. I hope Mr. Hou will be mentally prepared.
OK General Zuo, stop the team!”
"yes!"
Zuo Lianguang responded and then called: "Take everyone away."
The group left the Hou Mansion in a mighty manner.
At this time, there were already many people outside the Hou Mansion... but they didn't dare to approach, but just watched from afar and kept talking.
"It seems that this imperial envoy is a good official. This time we finally have a place to seek justice."
"I heard that many people went to complain two days ago..."
"This Xia, the person who was surnamed Xia, finally suffered retribution..."
In the mansion, Xia Xingping threw things like crazy, scaring the servants to hide and kneel down.
"Mo Ziming, I will not be a human being if I don't kill you!"
After suffering such a great humiliation, Xia Xingping had completely lost his mind.
And he was not stupid either, knowing that Mo Ziming was already starting to take action.
This time, many servants were arrested, including Xia Houzhi. Then the next time, it may be possible to arrest him directly.
Rather than being so passive, it is better to take the initiative to counterattack.
"Come here, go and invite Lord Fan quickly."
"Yes, Mr. Hou."
The servants left after being ordered.
As a result, Fan Kailiang, who had just left the Hou Mansion, arrived in a hurry with several other officials.
After meeting, Xia Xingping looked gloomy and took Fan Kailiang and others to a secret room.
"Master Hou, we can't wait any longer..."
As soon as she sat down, Fan Kailiang talked about his previous experience in a look of lingering fear.
"Master Hou, you didn't see it. The lower official was almost strangled to death by that kid..."
Hearing these words, several officials who came with them were all very angry.
"It's too much. He's like a court official, just like a bandit."
"Mr. Fan is right. Master Hou, we can't be tolerant anymore, otherwise we will be too passive."
"Yes, yes, Yes, instead of waiting for death, it's better to start first..."
Fan Kailiang looked ferocious and made a beheading move.
"this……"
Xia Xingping couldn't help but ponder.
Although they had been bold and decisive before, they killed the two previous imperial envoys, but the areas where they attacked were outside Liangzhou.
In this way, even if the court doubts, it will not send troops easily without conclusive evidence.
Now, Mo Ziming lives in Liangzhou City. If something happens again, the court may not bear it anymore and will most likely send troops directly.
"Master Hou, I really can't hesitate anymore. If I don't take action, that kid doesn't know what he will do."
"But Lord Fan, we are not fully prepared yet. If we act hastily, we may make mistakes."
"Then what you mean is to let that kid force us into a dead end step by step?"
"Mr. Fan, the official understands your mood, but now in the Western Regions..."
"Okay, don't fight anymore!" Xia Xingping waved his hand impatiently: "Mr. Fan is right. That kid just doesn't want to give us time, so he deliberately forced us to the dead end.
This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy.
If we swallow our anger, he will become even worse and may even arrest us.
If we act in advance, as Lord Tan said, the Western Regions have not yet been prepared, and there are still many people in a swaying attitude.
This is exactly the kid's cunning.
However, he was a little too proud.
The reason why that kid is so arrogant is simply because he is both an imperial envoy and a cultivator, and has extraordinary abilities.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that since ancient times, there have been many practitioners who are greedy for the glory and wealth of the world.
It is indeed difficult to deal with him with our own strength, but... we can use the people of the Western Regions.
Didn’t that boy assigned people to destroy Hu Renjie and injured many Hu Renjie?
Just in time, we can make full use of this incident…”
"Yes, yes, those Western Regions people are holding a fire now. We can incite the flames again and completely ignite the fire."
"However, since that kid has found a helper, it means he is prepared for it.
It is impossible for these Hu people from Liangzhou City to succeed. Now the plan is to find that old guy Bru..."
From the bottom of my heart, Xia Xingping is generally not willing to ask Blu for work.
Because that old guy has a very big appetite.
But now, he has been forced to a dead end and has to find a way out and use all the power he can use.
Next, the few people conspired to disperse until midnight.
But they never expected that just as they were conspiring, Mo Ziming had already started to take action.
First, we should take back the batch of treasury silver.
This time, Mo Ziming personally went out to the Hou Mansion with Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Zhiqiu, and Shifang quietly sneaked into the Hou Mansion.
After some investigation, Mo Ziming found that there were indeed many secret passages dug underground in Hou Mansion, as if a underground palace was built underground.
In addition to the treasury silver, there are also a large amount of gold, silver and treasures stored, which are probably worth millions of taels.
I think these gold and silver are used to recruit soldiers and horses.
Since he came, Mo Ziming naturally would not be polite. He immediately joined forces with Bai Suzhen and others to treat him with his own way, and set up a teleportation array to transfer all the gold, silver and jewelry.
After dawn.
A servant was in a state of dismay, and stumbled to Xia Xingping's room and knelt down.
"Mr. Hou...Mr. Hou..."
Xia Xingping was sleeping heavily, and the servant called out several times before he woke him up.
"What's up?"
Xia Xingping asked in a daze.
"Report... Report to Master Hou, the silver underground...the money is gone..."
"What? The money is gone?"
