Xia Hong's idea was simple: gather a group of colleagues, and even superiors, and go after Huang Manor!
Huang Manor's influence ran deep, with connections in the Prefecture Office, the Six Gates, the Black Armor Army, and the Martial Guard. But... it wasn't strong enough!
Their greatest weakness was that they weren't strong enough!
The master of Huang Manor, Huang Xunjiu, was only a sixth-rank martial artist. Among the Huang Family's in-laws, only two were sixth-rank, while the most outstanding of the younger generation, Huang Qian, was merely seventh-rank—not even a middle three-rank martial artist!
Their lack of strength meant they couldn't flip the table and launch a suicidal counterattack. All they could do was take a beating.
That being the case, even if Huang Manor was a tortoiseshell, it couldn't withstand the diamond drills wielded by the thousand-household officers!

If he really dragged a few in-laws along to complain to the prefect, these men would be in a difficult position.
