After speaking, Cao Ren whispered a few words to the official behind him, and the official ran away.
Not long after, the official came back with several fierce-looking women.
Each woman holds a big package in her hand.
Cao Ren ordered: "You guys, search their bodies carefully for me. If anyone dares to let go, come to me with your head raised."
"Yes!" The women responded and walked towards the direction of the female relatives.
Mo Hanyue was so frightened that she shrank behind Mrs. Mo.
"Mom, Hanyue is scared."
Mrs. Mo said sternly: "Straighten your back, you can't lose the face of the ancestors of the Mo family."
Hearing this, Mo Hanyue stood up straight with fear, her tears still falling heavily.
The woman who searched her body showed no mercy at all. In order to conduct a more detailed search, she directly took the women to a nearby house and asked them to take off their clothes for inspection.
In this way, everyone followed the method He Zhiran said, and the pockets sewn on the lining could no longer be hidden.
No one was spared, and all the banknotes hidden in their inner pockets were found, and all the jewelry on their heads were confiscated.
Seeing such a scene, He Zhiran was extremely lucky that her infirmary traveled through time with her, allowing her to take away those belongings without any pressure.
In the end, the women didn't even spare the silk and satin clothes of the Mo family members, and asked them all to put on the coarse linen clothes they brought.
Looking at these clothes, not only were they gray in color, but also had many patches on them, which made the sisters-in-law feel dizzy.
The eighth sister-in-law said unconvinced: "Our clothes are not worth much, so we shouldn't take them away, right?"
The mother-in-law bared her big yellow teeth and sneered: "Looking at your current situation, it's already good enough to have some clothes to cover your body. Why do you still dislike it?"
The eighth sister-in-law wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Mo stopped her.
"Ms. Zhao, there is no need to say anything more."
As she said that, Mrs. Mo picked up a piece of patched clothing and put it on herself.
He Zhiran didn't care. He followed Mrs. Mo's actions and put something on his body casually.
When the other sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue saw this, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts and each picked up a piece of clothing to wear.
Fortunately, the shoes they wore were still their original shoes.
When the women saw that they had put on their clothes, they turned around and went out with the "trophies" they had collected.
They handed over all the banknotes and jewelry to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren looked at the banknotes of just over a thousand taels that his mother-in-law handed over to him, and put them into his arms in disgust. As for the jewelry, he put them in the wooden box he had prepared in advance.
The hidden banknotes were confiscated, and the sisters-in-law were all heartbroken.
Without money, it would be extremely difficult for them to reach the northwest alive.
Madam Mo no longer had the calmness she had just now, and she had no money in her hand. What could she use to deal with those officials who were eating people without batting an eyelid?
Just when the female relatives felt extremely disappointed, people who searched other courtyards of the Protector's Mansion also came back one after another.
The news they brought back almost made Cao Ren furious.
"Reporting to General Cao, the warehouse of the Duke Protector's Mansion is empty."
"What did you say?" Cao Ren's face was full of disbelief.
The officer timidly said again: "General Cao, there is really nothing in the warehouse."
"General Cao, not only is there nothing in the warehouse, but even the kitchen is empty." Another official added.
Cao Ren was furious and looked at the female relatives: "Tell me, have you transferred all the property of the Protector's Palace in advance?"
Mrs. Mo replied in a deep voice: "General Cao, the emperor just issued an imperial edict today to confiscate the property. Do we, the Mo family, have the ability to predict and transfer the property in advance?"
Seeing Mrs. Mo say this, Cao Ren also knew that this was the truth.
However, he did not think that the dignified Duke Protector's Palace would be so poor.
Just when he was confused, another official came back to report.
"To report to General Cao, my subordinates found several large water tanks and some worthless things in Mo Jiuye's yard."
"To report to General Cao, my subordinates found some women's jewelry in several yards."
"My subordinate found dozens of taels of silver."
After listening to the reports of these people, Cao Ren could already determine a fact.
It's not that the Mo family transferred their property in advance, but that the Mo family is really poor.
If someone really transferred their property in advance, there would be no chance that they would still have these jewelry and silver coins.
Unexpectedly, the palace of the Protector of the Country was actually poorer than the family of a small fourth-rank general like him.
No wonder Mo Jiuye wears a black robe all day long and has never seen him change clothes.
It turned out to be because of poverty.
How did he know that ever since Mo Jiuye became sensible, the family has often held funerals for his brothers.
Mo Jiuye wore black robes all day long in memory of her brothers in the family who sacrificed their lives for the country.
He doesn’t only have one black robe, they are all of the same style!
Thinking of this, Cao Ren suddenly felt a sense of superiority in front of the Mo family.
"I didn't expect that the dignified Protector's Palace would be an empty shell. No wonder, how can a group of women make money?"
An officer heard this and quickly echoed: "General Cao is absolutely right."
Cao Ren liked the feeling of being held by others. He glanced around and saw that all the searchers had returned, so he ordered:
"You guys will first look at the found property and the servants in the mansion, and wait for the emperor's order to deal with it."
"The remaining people are responsible for escorting the prisoners to the outskirts of the city."
After finishing speaking, Cao Ren did not forget to glance at He Zhiran and left with some reluctance.
He Zhiran was disgusted by this look again.
While the officials were watching Cao Ren off, she quickly left the crowd.
Walking to a place where no one could see him, Hezhi Ran quickly rolled up his skirt and climbed up a strong tree.
Her mind entered the space and took out a sniper rifle she had stored there.
Load the bullet and aim.
The sight was always pointed at the back of Cao Ren's head.
It wasn't until Cao Ren came out of the Protector's Mansion and mounted his tall horse that she finally pressed the trigger.
There was a loud explosion, and Cao Ren, who had been showing off his power in front of the Mo family just now, tilted his body and fell off his horse in an instant...
At the same time, He Zhiran immediately entered the space.
The gunshot sounded like thunder, and everyone would definitely follow the source of the sound.
She planned to hide in space temporarily and wait for everyone's attention to leave here before appearing again.
If Cao Ren hadn't touched her limits again and again, He Zhiran wouldn't have wanted to cause trouble at this time.
For such people, every extra minute they live is a waste of air.
Don't you know that He Zhiran's series of actions were all seen by Mo Jiuye who was hiding in the dark?
Who is this woman and why does she have such a powerful weapon?
Moreover, she can disappear on the spot...
Could it be that she is a fairy?
Mo Jiuye shook his head vigorously, feeling that He Zhiran's behavior in the past two days had gone beyond his understanding.
