Chapter 350 Confiscating the House 4
Looking at Hua Cailiang on the other side, he was lying on the ground. When he heard Ye Jintang's voice, he wanted to sit up, but he failed after trying twice. He looked quite funny.
City Lord Hua and Madam Yang, who once called the shots in Ningchuan City, were now in such a state of disgrace that Ye Jintang could hardly bear to watch and called the guards to drag the two out of the secret passage.
"Why is City Master Hua lying on the ground in such a cold weather?"
Xiao Mo looked down at Hua Cailiang with a faint smile on his face.
After a long while, Hua Cailiang finally managed to sit up. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he pretended to be calm, brushed the dust off his body, and tried to stand up from the ground.
"King Qin is really good at this. It's only been a month since Ningchuan City was established, and he has already forced my Hua family into this state."
"Fortunately, this is all thanks to City Lord Hua who has done so much evil in Ningchuan City over the years. Otherwise, with just that little bit of tax silver, I would not dare to confiscate the City Lord's Mansion with great fanfare."
Hua Cailiang was just about to open his mouth when he felt something was wrong with his mouth. He touched it and felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know when his mouth had become crooked again.
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile on his face.
"The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Today I, Hua Cailiang, fell into your hands because I am inferior to you in skills. I have nothing to say, but my Hua family will not be defeated so easily."
At this moment, Hua Cailiang still thought that Xiao Mo was only coming for him as the city lord, and did not know that he wanted to uproot the entire Hua family.
He was even deliberately delaying time, hoping that General Gu would come to rescue him. Otherwise, even if he pretended to be calm, he could not smile.
But he didn't know that General Gu had already been subdued by Xiao Mo's men. He was unable to take care of himself, so how could he have the ability to save her.
"It's a pity that King Qin arrived a step too late. The gold and silver in the City Lord's Mansion had already been emptied. Now the City Lord's Mansion is just an empty shell. Even if you come to confiscate the house, you won't be able to find anything."
As he spoke, Hua Cailiang burst into laughter. Xiao Mo raided the City Lord's Mansion just for the power and gold and silver in his hands.
Xiao Mo had just arrived and even if he didn't have the city lord, it would take him a long time to completely control Ningchuan Province. As for the gold and silver, he was afraid that it would be in vain.
Hua Cailiang laughed wantonly. Xiao Mo walked a few steps forward and approached him and whispered, "I almost forgot to tell you that I know where the gold and silver you lost are. And this time I am not just going to kill you, but everyone in the Hua family."
As Xiao Mo finished speaking, Hua Cailiang finally couldn't laugh anymore.
"It's you. You stole all the property of my Hua family?"
Hua Cailiang, who had been pretending to be calm just now, collapsed in an instant.
"So what if it's me? Have you been waiting for General Gu to rescue you? I think you've been waiting in vain. In addition to these hundreds of guards, I also have more than 1 private soldiers. Let alone your small city lord's mansion, even if you gather all of General Gu's city guards, they are not enough for me to deal with."
Hua Cailiang never expected that Xiao Mo actually had more than 1 private soldiers. No wonder he dared to kill him suddenly. This is because he had the confidence.
Hua Cailiang, who had completely collapsed, could no longer pretend. He pointed a finger at Xiao Mo and was about to curse, but when the words came to his lips, his mouth would not obey him and he could not utter a word.
Ye Jintang, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong with Hua Cailiang and quickly stepped forward to feed him a pill.
A blood vessel in his brain burst. If he is not treated in time, he may not survive for even an hour.
At this critical juncture, Hua Cailiang cannot die. Even if he has to die, he wants to die in front of the vegetable market in the east of the city.
"Jintang, how is Hua Cailiang? He won't be mad enough to die, right?"
"He won't die for now. We have to move quickly. The blood vessels in his brain have burst. I'm afraid he won't live long."
"I see."
Xiao Mo had everyone in the City Lord's Mansion tied up, and then he took people to record all the valuables in the City Lord's Mansion in a book and moved them to the warehouse and locked them up.
"Jintang, can Xuetuan and Huoyan find the account book?"
Looking at the huge City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Mo was also a little worried.
Hua Cailiang was a very suspicious person. Even Mrs. Yang didn't know the whereabouts of the real tax account book. Now that Hua Cailiang was half dead, naturally no one could get any information from him.
"Yes, give them both some time."
Ye Jintang is still very confident about this.
The two little guys drank so much of her spring water, there would definitely be no problem finding an account book.
Snowball and Fire Soldier split into two groups, one in the front yard and the other in the back yard. They followed the people who were ransacking the house and searched house by house.
But today there are too many people in the City Lord's Mansion, and the smell is rather mixed, which has some impact on them.
After half an hour, Huo Yan finally came to find Ye Jintang, grabbed her sleeve and ran to the backyard.
"Flame, have you found the account book?"
Ye Jintang was quite happy. It was simply not a human thing to search a house in the middle of winter. She only stood outside for a while and her hands and feet became cold.
The flames leaped into Mrs. Yang's room.
All the valuable items in the house, including bedding and clothes, had been taken away, and the house was now empty.
The flame jumped onto a cabinet, and saw a hole on the top of the cabinet that had been dug out at some point.
Ye Jintang looked through the hole and saw a corner of the account book at a glance.
"Wow, Hua Cailiang hid it really well."
Ye Jintang asked someone to lift up the ceiling, only to find that it was empty and the account book was hidden in the mezzanine of the ceiling. If the fire had not made a hole in the mezzanine, she would never have found the real account book.
"Someone, take down all the roofs of these rooms. Be careful when you do this, and don't damage the account books hidden inside."
Xiao Mo, who came over after hearing the noise, was surprised when he saw the account books that had been turned out.
"Hua Cailiang wouldn't have covered the ceiling with all the account books, would he?"
"Almost. I've checked two yards. All the roofs have account books. In order to prevent being bitten by rats and ants, most of these account books are wrapped in brown paper, and a lot of ant and insect repellent is sprinkled on the outside."
"Hua Cailiang really has some tricks up his sleeve."
Removing the account books was a huge project. It took more than an hour to remove all the account books.
All the account books were put into boxes and temporarily locked in the warehouse.
"Jintang will ask you to find someone to review all the accounts later."
"No problem. I'm not good at fighting, but I'm pretty good at looking at accounts."
Ye Jintang was also very curious about how Hua Cailiang had managed to squeeze so much money from the people over the years.
"With these accounts, no one in Ningchuan Prefecture who has dealings with the Hua family will be able to escape."
"We are not in a hurry. Let's clean up Ningchuan City first. We will clean up other cities one by one in the spring of next year."
All the ill-gotten gains they had made had to be returned to him, and they were not allowed to hide a single penny.
