The Song family all got up early in the morning, but they felt they hadn't slept well because they had gone to bed late the night before.
They all looked sleepy when they woke up, so Song Yining prepared some diluted spring water for them.
After drinking it, the group felt refreshed and invigorated.
When Mo Yucheng arrived, they were having a meal, so he sat down and ate with them.
After finishing her meal, Song Yining quickly tidied herself up and changed into clothes made by her sisters-in-law.
Today is just a simple engagement ceremony, basically the two families having a meal together.
When I get married, I will formally meet the elders of the compound.
The Mo family was just as lively and bustling as they were on the 30th.
Soon after, the GW Association members arrived, coming to the Mo family in a menacing manner.
Looking at the people inside the room, the Mo family knew what was going to happen.
They were all prepared in advance, to see if they could find what they wanted today.
"Why did you see that there were a lot of people at our house today and wanted to join in the fun?"
"Someone reported that your family is secretly storing letters that treason and banned books. We've come to investigate."
"This person has eyes that can see a thousand miles, and he can even see our house. I really admire him." Mo Yucheng said, looking at the group of people.
Then he looked at Mo Chenzhi and said, "They should check on them before searching, so that if they find anything bad later, right?"
Mo Chenzhi looked at his men and gave them a signal, ordering them all to be searched.
Two of the people GW was going to come were already anxious and didn't know what to do.
Before coming to the Mohist school, they made sure everything was in order, so they brought some forbidden books and a letter to the outside world.
To these people, the special squad was like a mouse before a cat; they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.
They quickly searched everyone, finding letters sent to the outside world, prohibited books, and a very valuable foreign watch.
The people around were now in an uproar, staring at Huang Da, who was leading the GW Association.
"This is my dereliction of duty. I never expected there to be such a scoundrel in our team."
Rest assured, we will be on high alert against them and will not let a single corrupt official escape justice.
"Take them away. This man is carrying a high-end foreign watch. I can confirm that all three of them are spies from the other side."
That's why I took this opportunity today to retaliate against the leader's family.
These three are no joke; taking them back for questioning about the specifics is beyond the department's jurisdiction.
"Why!"
"Alright, what's the point? I just want to know who reported it. We have the right to know, right?"
Huang Da was completely bewildered by what had just happened; these soldiers were not to be trifled with.
He was cursing inwardly for coming to the compound today; none of the people there were easy to mess with.
Huang Da hesitated for a moment, but still took out the letter of complaint, hoping to protect himself.
Mo Yucheng looked at the letter that was handed to him, smiled contemptuously, and said to everyone, "It's the Hu family who just returned from our compound. How ridiculous."
After saying that, he looked at the Gw Society members and then at his own men, "You will all stay here. Anyone who damages anything will have to pay for it at the original price."
After saying that, he pulled Song Yining out with them and waited for them to search the place.
Those people searched diligently, but couldn't find a single clue, so they had to slink away.
Today's campaign got off to a bad start, and we even lost three of our key generals.
After they came out, Huang Da looked at Mo Yucheng and the others apologetically.
"We're sorry to bother you today. We'll verify the details and come back later."
We hope you won't mind our actions today; it was our duty.
Mo Yucheng looked at Huang Da and said, "Alright, we've finished searching our house. Now let's report the Hu family. Look at their house, they just moved back."
Huang Da hesitated for a moment, but still did as he was told, and the group moved to the Hu family's place.
As for the men whose belongings were searched earlier, they were being watched over, so they could only go to the Hu family's house.
He had no way to rescue the three people at this point, so he could only go back and think of another way.
The Hu family is now on tenterhooks, waiting for good news.
Unexpectedly, the family saw members of the GW Association, including people from a large compound, at their doorstep.
The Hu father and son looked at Huang Da with bewilderment.
"What are you all doing here? Why are you all coming to our house?"
Mo Yucheng looked at the Hu family with a mocking expression, "You didn't report our family, but our house has already been searched. So search the house of the person who reported us too, and we'll be convinced."
The Hu family was also shocked, and at this point they could only let them in to search.
A short while later, he came out with several items. Zhong Mengyi saw that the things she had asked the Liu family to put into the Mo family's house were now in her own home.
She looked at her father-in-law and husband in disbelief, remembering that she had clearly seen Han Li put it in that day.
Could it be that the Mohists discovered this, and thus devised a scheme within a scheme? They were truly cunning.
Grandpa Hu was also shocked. "It's impossible. We just moved here, how could we have these things? It's nonsense."
Zhong Mengyi looked at her and said, "You are framing us. Our family has done nothing wrong."
"Ah, if you're upright and honest, how come these things were found? Did they just appear out of thin air?"
Mo family's eldest sister-in-law, Feng Yu, didn't care about anything at the moment. Their engagement banquet had been disrupted, and as the sister-in-law, she had to stand up for her brother's wife.
Zhong Mengyi couldn't explain how the book she had clearly delivered to the Mo family ended up in their house.
Now the blame they've brought on the Mo family has fallen on their own. They were just thinking about how desolate the Mo family must be.
Unexpectedly, karma struck, and it became their own doing.
At this moment, Zhong Mengyi smiled bitterly and could only remain silent as she looked at everyone.
He sat on the ground in despair, not knowing what to do.
The evidence against the Hu family is irrefutable. These people from the Gw Association cannot bring members of the Hu family along, as this has been classified as treason.
The house was in a mess, so Mo Yucheng didn't bother with it anymore.
Mo Chenzhi and the others were about to go to the other residences of the Hu family. They knew about Hu Lina's situation but didn't pay much attention to it.
The Hu family has now been labeled as traitors who betrayed their country and have no chance of redemption.
When Mo Chenzhi and his group arrived at the courtyard where Hu Lina lived, it was quiet. The neighbors had heard some noises the night before.
No one came out to see, probably because it was too cold, and no one thought of it that way.
When they entered Hu Lina's room, it was already a terrible sight, and she was in no better condition.
He had been tortured beyond recognition by those men, and now he was naked, covered by a blanket, and barely breathing.
Several boxes were also found inside the house, all containing large and small yellow croakers and antique calligraphy and paintings.
They then went to the courtyard where Hu Lina had been followed, and inside they found many old objects and some foreign exchange notes in the secret passage.
While they were searching around the yard, they also found what appeared to be a radio station.
Now the Hu family is speechless, as the house is registered under their name.
