Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Chapter 348 Confiscating the House 2

Hua Cailiang and Madam Yang were talking in the study when suddenly the steward came in hurriedly.

"Master, the people who were watching the Prince of Qin's mansion just now reported that the Prince of Qin was leading a large number of troops towards the City Lord's Mansion."

"What? How many people did Xiao Mo bring?"

"More than 500 guards."

If there were only a small number of people, Hua Cailiang might still suspect that Xiao Mo was going to do other things, but with more than 500 guards, there was only one possibility: Xiao Mo was going to make trouble.

"Hurry up and inform everyone that no one is allowed to open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion without my order. Also, hurry up and inform General Gu to send the city defense troops to support me."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

Hua Cailiang had just recovered from his illness when this incident happened again. He was completely confused.

"Master, does Xiao Mo want to break up with us?"

"That should be the case. He has been investigating the tax silver for such a long time, so he must have some evidence of my embezzlement of tax silver. But the real account book is in my hand, so it won't be easy for him to convict me."

"Since he has come to my door today, I will not be polite. This will also let those two-faced people in the city see who is the master of Ningchuan City."

"What will the master do?"

Mrs. Yang looked at the somewhat crazy Hua Cailiang and had a bad feeling.

"Since we have not been able to find a chance to poison Xiao Mo, let's take this opportunity to kill him. Swords have no eyes. Even if Xiao Mo dies at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, I have a way to keep us safe."

Hua Cailiang was still very confident about this. Xiao Mo was just a deposed crown prince, a disabled prince, a prince disliked by the emperor. If he died in Ningchuan City, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would only reward him and would not punish him at all.

There are only a few hundred guards in the City Lord's Mansion, but the walls of the City Lord's Mansion are high enough. As long as the gate is closed, it will be as safe as a castle.

Xiao Mo came over with a mighty group of people. Looking at the tightly closed gate of the City Lord's Mansion and the guards on the wall, his brows raised slightly.

He deliberately made such a big noise. In terms of fighting and siege, ten Hua Cailiangs would not be his match.

Xiao Mo's men surrounded the entire City Lord's Mansion tightly.

When enough people gathered around, Lord Cai and his men stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. In front of everyone, he unfolded the five large white papers one by one and slowly read out the crimes committed by Hua Cailiang and the Hua family.

Since he wanted to deal with Hua Cailiang and the Hua family, there must be a reason. Even if he wanted Hua Cailiang to die, he would make his death clear.

It would take a long time to read out the charge sheet which was more than five meters long. Hua Cailiang in the City Lord's Mansion listened to the reports from his men and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He always thought that Xiao Mo only had some evidence related to taxation. After all, he had only been in Ningchuan City for a short time and it was impossible for him to investigate so thoroughly.

Now it seems that he underestimated his enemy. Xiao Mo is much more powerful than he thought.

"Why hasn't General Gu come yet?"

At that moment, Hua Cailiang placed all his hopes on General Gu. As long as he could bring reinforcements, he would not be afraid even if Xiao Mo had a lot of evidence of his crimes.

"I sent two groups of people to deliver a letter to General Gu. They should be here soon."

In the middle of winter, the steward was so scared that he was sweating. He was afraid that if he sent too few people, the message would not be delivered, so he sent an extra team to deliver the letter.

But now the evidence against Hua Cailiang was almost finished being read out, and General Gu hadn't come yet. He was afraid that he couldn't come.

As time went by, more and more people gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but no one made a noise. Everyone listened quietly as Lord Cai thought about the evil things that Hua Cailiang and the Hua family had done over the years.

There were some victims in the crowd who were quietly wiping away tears as they listened. It seemed that King Qin was going to settle accounts with the Hua family today. They had waited for this day for too long, but they didn't expect that they would actually wait for it in their lifetime. It must be God's will.

Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang stood on a high place and watched all this quietly. They were waiting for the best opportunity to mobilize the emotions of the people. Then they would lead their troops to capture the City Lord's Mansion, and the people would be more grateful to him.

At the same time, all the major families in Ningchuan City also received the news that the City Lord’s Mansion was besieged at the first opportunity.

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Niu Zhengye was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Why are you so anxious? Our Niu family lives uprightly in Ningchuan City. Even though we manage the mines and have a large number of exiles at our disposal, we don't take human lives lightly. No one has died unjustly at our hands. Even if the King of Qin really investigates, our Niu family is not afraid."

Old man Niu had not recovered from his cold and he started coughing violently while he was talking. Niu Zhengye hurried forward and patted him on the back.

Old Man Niu waved his hand and continued, "Take all the people you can mobilize and go find Old Man Wei. Given the relationship between the Wei family and the King of Qin, I think he will definitely stand on the side of the King of Qin."

"Don't worry about anything. Just follow what Old Man Wei does. You won't suffer any loss."

"Dad, are you saying that our Niu family supports King Qin?"

"You fool, I have explained it so clearly and you still haven't reacted. If the King of Qin wants to deal with the Hua family, he will definitely cut off the roots and not leave any trouble. Ningchuan Prefecture will belong to the King of Qin in the future. If we don't surrender to the King of Qin, do you want to become the second Hua family?"

Niu Zhengye quickly shook his head. He didn't have that ambition.

"I'm afraid the King of Qin doesn't have enough manpower, so you should take all the guards from our mansion with you. If a fight really breaks out, you must fight with your life. No matter what, Hua Cailiang must be killed."

"I understand that Hua Cailiang has already made up his mind to kill us. If we don't take this opportunity to overthrow the Hua family, it won't take long before our Niu family will be devoured by the Hua family."

Although Niu Zhengye didn't have much ability, he could see clearly that Hua Cailiang had been coveting the Niu family's mine for a long time.

"Then why are you still standing there? Go find Old Man Wei."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Niu Zhengye came out of Grandpa Niu's house, he didn't know when the sky started to snow again.

He glanced at the gray sky and muttered, "The weather in Ningchuan City is about to change."

The Niu family manages several mines, and all the people under him are big and strong men. Such a group of people walking on the street is particularly eye-catching.

After receiving the news, Mr. Wei immediately called all the guards in the mansion together, ready to help Xiao Mo get rid of the Hua family.

As soon as the Wei family's door opened, Mr. Wei saw Niu Zhengye coming with his men.

The two didn't say much when they met. They just exchanged a few words and went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

Such a big thing happened that soon almost the entire Ningchuan Province was alarmed.

The brave people flocked to the City Lord's Mansion from all directions to find out what was going on.
