What a great idea.
If Zheng Xiong is dealt with, no one will hold him accountable, and the matter will not become a big deal, and the major issue will be reduced to a minor issue.
I just feel so flustered and guilty!
Wang Xing had no choice but to act according to the will. The method given by Mao Xiang was also the best one. He couldn't completely break up with him!
In the courtyard, Wang Xing gathered everyone and announced the latest instructions.
"Everyone obeys the order. It is getting late and movement is inconvenient, which will inevitably cause complications. The quick hands of the capture team of the Lingfu Yamen and the men of the Soldiers and Horses Department escort the prisoners away first."
"I will also allocate manpower here to accompany the escort."
"As for the stolen money, it will be escorted back by the remaining people after the inventory is completed and verified."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The government's quick arresting team and soldiers and horsemen may have a sense of responsibility, but they are definitely not many. There would be no resistance and they would just follow orders.
But money touches people's hearts. If we all monitor it together, I can't take advantage, and you can't take advantage either. It's fair.
Now leaving these soldiers mobilized by the Governor's Palace alone here will make other people's hearts unbalanced.
After all, you are in the same group, and we don’t know if you are taking advantage.
If you really sneak up on me and take advantage of me, that's not okay.
Zheng Xiong was a senior official, so there was no doubt about his prestige. Wang Xing was also a younger brother to Zheng Xiong. Someone immediately refuted something so obviously wrong.
"General Wang, Mr. Fu Yin asked us to supervise the three parties, but there is no reason to leave only you."
"Such actions will inevitably fail to take Mr. Fu Yin's words seriously."
"I'm sorry that I can't obey my orders."
There are always two thorns in every place. Wang Xing was used to it and didn't say much about such words.
Instead, he looked aside.
I looked at him to confirm that he was one of us.
A Baihu instantly understood the meaning, raised the spear in his hand, and said loudly.
"war."
After Baihu finished speaking, all the remaining soldiers shouted in unison.
"Fight, fight, fight."
After the three words of war fell, the others instantly lost their temper.
He definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him, just from the momentum alone, he would be at a disadvantage.
On the other hand, there is no need. They are all paid people, so there is no need to fight with their own people, and it will be even more uneconomical if they are injured.
So after both parties expressed their attitudes, they chose to stop fighting. After all, they tried their best, but the other party did not follow martial ethics.
That's how the matter was resolved.
Although the manpower escorting prisoners is not strong enough, they can still make reports.
Allocate manpower and rush back to report the news.
After Wang Xing finished handling the affairs at Changle Gambling House, he ordered his people to pack up the property.
Mao Xiang also sent people to help.
Next is the process of intercepting gambling funds.
With this first experience, those who had not had time to be escorted were all treated by Wang Xing in the same way.
Drive away the Bingma Si and the catching squad quickly.
The rest is packed and sealed by our own people.
Relying on the advantage of force, the process went smoothly.
But no matter how good the plan is, reality is here.
This was originally an action that was coming to an end.
No matter how much messages are passed for interception, what you get after all is not much.
Fortunately, they are all big gambling houses, and some of them have already reached the small goal of 100,000 yuan.
The rest was too late.
Mao Xiang and Wang Xing stayed together. Wang Xing was uneasy and worried about not completing the secret decree.
After all, it was Lao Zhu’s secret order, but the result was not what he expected.
Mao Xiang also had a sad look on his face, things were not going well, and Lao Zhu's red eyes were even more frightening, which led to Mao Xiang's current state.
It would definitely be impossible to fail to meet expectations, but it would be impossible to snatch food from Zheng Xiong's mouth.
Lao Zhu asked to keep a low profile, so it was not advisable to go directly to the door. He could only go to Lao Zhu for instructions.
"Your Majesty, the gambling house has withheld the gambling capital of 100,000 yuan, and the rest has been sent to the government office. Please give your Majesty's instructions on what to do next."
Lao Zhu rubbed his shoulders to relieve the pain in his arms.
After this period of calming down, Lao Zhu's eyes were not so red anymore, but his obsession with money has not faded at all.
"It doesn't matter if you go into the treasury, you can just take someone to ask for it. It's so simple."
Regarding Lao Zhu, Mao Xiang also refreshed the lower limit of his views step by step in front of him.
"Would it cause a big fuss if we pursue the case afterwards?"
Mao Xiang's question was not taken to heart by Lao Zhu.
"It doesn't matter. Zheng Xiong is a smart man. I will speak personally. I believe he will understand."
"But it's better that we don't show up."
"We write our will and you take it with you."
"Since Wang Xing has already come forward, let him go and ask for it. If Zheng Xiong doesn't give it, you can let him show him our will."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Xing took his men and horses, guarded the money, and waited for Mao Xiang.
Mao Xiang lived up to Wang Xing's expectation and came back soon.
The first time the two met, Mao Xiang told Wang Xing Lao Zhu's latest decree.
"His Majesty wants you to go to the government office and ask for it directly from Zheng Fuyin. This matter is very certain. Go quickly."
No matter how hard you think about it, you can never imagine how this certainty came about.
Wang Xing is not only sad now, but also quite helpless.
Instead of doing all this nonsense, you might as well go into battle and kill the enemy!
"Please forgive me for my incompetence. I'm afraid Governor Zheng won't give it to me!"
Originally Mao Xiang was panicked and worried.
But when Lao Zhu became shameless, Mao Xiang no longer worried about this matter.
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty has given you a decree. If Zheng Fuyin reads it, he will give it to you."
Haha, I will give it to you, but you must also consider my feelings!
Don't blame yourself for this.
Become Zheng Xiong's punching bag.
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, so Wang Xing could only continue to receive the order.
After allocating some people, Wang Xing led the people to the government office.
Zheng Xiong was counting the money delivered in batches at the government office. Looking at the increasing amount of money, he smiled happily. He even considered the whereabouts of the money.
However, Wang Xing's good mood was ruined by the news that Wang Xing secretly sent someone to evict himself and the troops from the Military and Horse Department on a mission to escort gambling funds.
This behavior is not good, but there is still some hope.
Zheng Xiong also prayed in his heart that Wang Xing was not a money-minded person and would not fight against him because of the money.
As a result, when the second group of people sent out to inquire about the information came back, the illusion was completely shattered.
I just came here for my own money, but there was no movement at all, and it was also detained in other places.
The mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind. It's tall, really tall.
Zheng Xiong was so angry at the government office that he wanted to go out and give Wang Xing a beating to vent his anger.
At this moment, Wang Xing rushed to the government office, waiting for Zheng Xiong's call.
With his last fantasy in mind, Zheng Xiong asked the person who came to report.
"Wang Xing came here. Did he bring anything behind him?"
"without."
These words successfully aroused Zheng Xiong's anger.
"Okay, very good. I haven't gone to trouble him yet, but he dared to come here first."
"Come here, call a team of arresters to come over quickly. I want to see if he doesn't take me seriously."
"Yes, sir."
After Wang Xingtong reported it, what he saw was a scene surrounded by policemen, and Zheng Xiong's angry expression made him smile bitterly.
"The king is finally on his way to pay homage to your lord."
"You still have the nerve to come here. Do you really think I have a good temper?"
"Do you know what crime you should be guilty of if you took the stolen money privately?"
Wang Xing could only smile bitterly. He did not refute the accusations given by Zheng Xiong. He was offended and replied simply.
"Sir, this is not why I came here."
